Knowing that Warren was not ustomed to such scenes, Luca smiled helplessly and said, "Mr.


    Crawford must have his reasons for asking you to sit here. Just rx and sit tight. You can always


    nce at your phone to shift your focus if you have nothing to do."


    Warren found her suggestion good. Therefore, he picked up his phone and started reading a novel.


    He was, after all, just a subordinate of Gale and Rain. He did not have much expertise. He excelled in


    tasks involving fighting or observation.


    However, when it came to attending suchworking events, he felt out of ce.


    Therefore, Warren decided to distract himself by reading the novel.


    Luca''s gaze wandered around. She felt that she had it easy since no one was engaging her in


    conversation.


    No matter how expensive the professional suit she wore today, others would simply assume she was


    either Luke''s or Evan''s secretary with Luke in attendance.


    Whether they misunderstood or not did not concern Luca much.


    It did not matter to her what they thought.


    The most important thing at the moment was to find Abel.


    With these thoughts in mind, Luca noticed a figure standing in front of her. "Hello, are you Dr. Craw?"


    asked the person.


    Luca was surprised and looked up at the person.


    His face was youthful, and he had Caucasian facial features. Luca nodded and replied, "Yes, I am. And


    you are...?"


    "I''m an intern from a pharmaceuticalpany. I saw you over there, sitting in Watson''s seat. You look


    familiar, so I came over to confirm. Turns out it''s really you..." said the intern excitedly.


    Luca looked at the intern without suspicion.


    Thisworking event was not arge industry gathering. It was just that many pharmaceutical


    Some smallpanies might not have received the message and would stick to their original n of


    sending department heads along with their secretaries or interns.


    Interns were usually assigned menial tasks for theirpany, like gathering pharmaceutical brochures


    and the like. Executives did not typically handle these kinds of tasks themselves, so they had someone


    else do the legwork.


    Luca nodded slightly, unsure of what to say. Ironically, the intern''s appearance made her feel a bit


    annoyed.


    He was here because of her, so she had to divert her attention to deal with him.


    That meant she could not fully concentrate on the event.


    The intern, being inexperienced, did not catch Luca''s slight annoyance or her reluctance to entertain


    him.


    Instead, he spoke with admiration, "Dr. Craw, I''ve seen the drug you developed. It''s amazing! It’s a


    lifesaver for many cancer patients. Could you briefly tell me about your initial thoughts when you


    started this research?"


    As the intern spoke, he began recording on his phone.


    Luca frowned. The intern really could not read the room...


    "I didn''t have any specific thoughts," said Luca. Moreover, this question should be directed to Shanks.


    He was the original developer of the drug. She had only conducted further research based on his work.


    Even though her research had improved upon the previous one, it was the result of the entire research


    team—not just her alone.


    The truly talented one was Shanks.


    Shanks single-handedly did the work of the entire research team.


    "Ah..." The intern did not expect Luca to respond like this. He thought female research professors


    would be easier to approach than males, but Luca was too aloof.


    He brought his phone closer and said with a pleading tone, "Dr. Craw, my graduation thesis is focused


    on analyzing your research. That’s why I really need your insights. I want to know the difficulties you


    encountered during the experiments.


    "I know you might find this annoying, but please help me. There''s very little information about your


    N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    research online."


    As Warren listened to the intern, he put away his phone and stood up. He was ready to ask the intern


    to leave.


    However, Luca''s gaze suddenly fell on the intern''s phone.


    That phone...


    It was from the Ind of Despair!


    Luca''s heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Abel had already known everything and was observing


    silently from a corner they could not see. The intern was also sent by Abel.


    Historically, almost all of Abel''s subordinates had ethnic features. Even if there were Caucasian faces,


    they were notably different from the Caucasian faces in A City.


    Basically, those with Caucasian facial features were easily distinguishable at a nce.


    However, the intern iming to be an intern not only had a Caucasian appearance but also looked very


    young and inexperienced.


    "Excuse me..." Warren was already nning to drive away the intern.


    However, Luca suddenly rose to her feet.


    Not only Warren but Luke''s and Evan''s gazes also fell on her.


    At this moment, Luca could not be bothered about other things.


    She could not talk to Luke right now. Otherwise, Abel might notice something. Even so, she believed


    Luke would understand her intentions.


    Hence, Luca looked straight at the intern and asked, "What''s your name?"


    The intern obviously did not expect her to ask such a question and forced a smile. He replied, "My


    name is Jacob Cook."


    "Jacob, right? Are you here to interview me?" Luca asked again.


    Jacob shook his head. "No, it''s not an interview. I''m not a journalist, Dr. Craw. I''m just an intern in the


    field of biopharmaceuticals, preparing for my graduation thesis. I’d like to consult with you to help me


    write my thesis."


    Luca looked at Jacob''s face. When did Abel have subordinates like this?


    His features, expressions, and even his way of speaking were all like a college student in A City who


    was about to graduate...


    Abel''s subordinates used to have ethnic facial features. They could be easily identified with just a


    nce in A City.


    Hence, it was easy to distinguish between friend and foe.


    However, if he had such subordinates, it would be really difficult to tell in the future.


    It was unknown how many people like this Abel had around him.


    Luca said, "It''s too noisy here and not suitable for discussion. Let''s go to a quieter corner. I''ll tell you


    there. Anyway, there''s still some time before the seminar begins."


    "That''s great. Thank you, Dr. Craw," replied Jacob. He then invited Luca toward the area where his


    Thepany where Jacob worked was rtively small, and the assigned seating was quite remote.


    He led Luca to a corner.


    Luca did not look back at Luke because she was sure that Abel was secretly observing them.


    Moreover, Luke must know what she intended to do.


    Warren watched as Luca followed Jacob away and then turned to Luke. "Mr. Crawford?"


    "No need to follow her. Sit down," Luke calmly replied. He was also pretending to remain calm.


    They had to pretend to be calm and act as if they did not know anything at the moment.


    Otherwise, Luca''s previous disguise would have been in vain.


    They had more than just Abel to deal with now. They also had to rescue their daughter. That was why


    they could not act rashly.
