When Luca heard Luke mention Mrs. Jackman''s name, she knew that he had looked into her


    background.


    "What did the police say?" asked Luca. She could not help but feel a rush of heat through her body as


    Luke held her tightly in his arms.


    "It''s not a serious situation, so she won''t get any severe punishment," Luke told her what the police


    said. Even though Luke was dissatisfied with the oue, he had no choice but to let the police handle


    it since that was how thew worked.


    "Well, this is normal.” Luca understood thews of A City. If she was willing to reconcile, Margaret


    would not face any trouble.

    "Margaret''s husband, Lonnie, has a project that he wants to coborate with T Corporation with. He


    wants us to provide the design drawings,” Luke continued.


    "Did it happen?" Luca furrowed her brows as she was worried that Mrs. Jackman''s situation would


    affect their coboration.


    "No. The project manager didn''t think highly of that project. Besides, thepany has been busytely.


    We have no time to take on extra projects." Luke let go of her as he heard footstepsing from the


    stairs.


    "Alright." Luca took a step back. She also heard footstepsing from the stairwell. She lifted her


    head and turned to look at the staircase.


    Tommy rubbed his eyes as he made his way down the stairs. His eyes lit up when he saw that Luca


    hade back home. He scampered over and said, "Ms. Luca, you''re back!"


    "Yes. Why aren''t you in bed yet?" Luca smiled and stroked the child''s head caringly.


    "I''m thirsty. I wanted to get myself a ss of water," Tommy muttered.


    "Okay. Let me get it for you," said Luca. She held the child''s hand, lifted her head, and nced at Luke.


    Then, she walked into the kitchen.


    She poured a ss of water and handed it over to Tommy.


    "Thank you, Ms. Luca." Tommy smiled and took the ss of water from her. He gulped down the water


    and handed the ss back to Luca.


    "Done!"


    "Go to bed now." Luca stroked the child''s head.


    "Okay, Ms. Luca. You and Daddy should go to bed earlier too." Tommy obediently nodded.


    "Alright. Cover yourself well. Don''t catch a cold," Luca reminded him.


    "Okay!" Tommy gave a little skip as he walked out of the kitchen and headed upstairs.


    Luca followed him out of the kitchen. Luke was still standing in the living room, holding her coat.


    "Are you tired?" asked Luke.


    "Not really." Luca shook her head. She was not tired at all. All she did was give Nina some advice, and


    it did not tire her out much.


    "Are you free tomorrow?" Luke popped the question when he took her hand and walked upstairs.


    He received an email from Marcos today.


    Marcos stated in the email that he would be boarding a flight bound for A City with his family''s attorney


    and the people privy to some of the organization''s unsettling secrets. He would arrive the following day.


    "Yes. Why?" Luca looked at his side profile, noticing that the stubble had grown out a bit after he


    shaved it this morning.


    "Apany me to the airport tomorrow," replied Luke.


    "Sure. Are we picking up someone?" Luca was curious. Luke never mentioned that someone was


    coming back. Moreover, he would not personally go to the airport to pick them up even if the person


    was his business partner.


    "Marcos. Gale has found out something about his mother. He''sing to look for her," exined Luke.


    Still, he did not mention anything about the Ind of Despair.


    "You found her? That''s great." Luca felt happy for Marcos. Even though Marcos was already an adult,


    he showed affection and respect for his mother.


    "We have a rough idea of where she is, but we still have to find her,” said Luke as he opened the


    bedroom door. His phone rang at this moment.


    Luke''s expression grew serious when he nced at the caller ID. He handed Luca the coat and said,


    "I''m answering a call. Don''t wait for me. Go to bed first."


    "Okay." As Luca noticed the stern expression on his face, she nodded without asking who called.


    Luke walked to the opposite bedroom. He entered and closed the door behind him.


    His voice trailed away to nothing.


    Luca''s eyes darkened. It waste at night but Luke still had other things to deal with...


    Luke was still busy handling matters when it was time to go to bed. She felt a dull pain in her chest as


    she recalled the tired look on his face.


    Luca wanted to help.


    She had received a lot of training on the Ind of Despair, and she could help him to handle the affairs.


    However, she was in no position to do that.


    Luca lowered her head and closed the door.


    In the opposite bedroom.


    Luke answered the call. "What''s the matter?"


    Gordan''szy voice came from the other end of the line. "Luke, I''ve found out where Pierre is being


    held."


    "Where is he?" Luke asked as he sat on the office chair. He moved the mouse, and the screen lit up.


    Then, he opened a map software on his desktop.


    "He''s on the outskirts of X City. Here''s the address..." Gordan paused for a moment. Then came the


    sound of flipping pages. “No. 15, Cartee Rd, Marshfield."


    Luke found the location on the map software based on the address given.


    He looked at the entire map of X City. The location was remote, and it was also in the suburbs of A


    City.


    When Percy asked for his help, Luke went looking for Gordan.


    However, he did not tell Percy about it.


    "Okay. Got it." Luke marked the location on the map.


    "Luke, are we going to take action?" asked Gordan as he flexed his wrist. The crisp sound of joints


    echoed in his ears.


    "Let''s keep an eye on things for the time being," replied Luke. He had no intention of telling Percy the


    address.


    He had no ns to rescue Pierre or inform his family if his life was not in danger.


    Percy had done so many wrong things. He needed to be taught a lesson. Luke was nning to let him


    suffer as long as it was not death.


    "They''re the members of the Ind of Despair. That''s cruel..." Gordan was surprised. Then, he


    sneered, "Well, that kid deserves it. Anyway, it seems pretty quiet over there. It seems like they''re not


    nning to kill him yet. Let''s observe them for now. Should I make a move if his life is being


    threatened?"


    "Yes." Luke agreed.


    "I''ve been keeping an eye on them for a day now. And I''ve noticed that there are more than two people


    there. You''ll have to send two men to assist me," added Gordan.


    "Can''t you manage on your own?" Luke did not intend to help Gordan. He believed that he was


    capable of handling things on his own.


    "It would be fine if I was just escaping by myself. But if I''m taking Pierre with me, I can''t guarantee that


    he won''t get shot if we get into a fight. I don''t want to be med for it," replied Gordan. He then thought


    to himself, ‘That''s really harsh.''


    Gordan had been observing them today. Those people were illegally in possession of firearms.


    If he were to engage in a fight, the odds were stacked against him. Taking Pierre along with him only


    added to the risk.
