Warren watched as Luca and Jacob left. He had a feeling that something unpleasant might happen.


    However, he had to follow Luke''s instructions, so he suppressed his worry and sat in the chair.


    Luke said, "Don''t look."


    The people around were somewhat surprised. Why did he suddenly say such a thing?


    What should they not look at?


    Luke did not exin, but Warren understood what was going on. He could only pretend to be calm and


    withdraw his gaze.


    Evan nced at Luke and then at Warren. He felt that Luca''s departure was not simple.


    The atmosphere was solemn, as though something bad was about to happen.


    Evan dared not to ask further since this matter seemed unrted to him.


    He continued entertaining those who wanted to chat with him.


    Evan was good at business. He could deal with the owners of pharmaceuticalpanies and drug


    dealers very easily, but his mind was not fully focused on these people. He was still thinking about


    Luca''s situation.


    Luca followed Jacob to a corner.


    Before she could speak, Jacob put away his smile and said to her, "You recognized the phone, didn''t


    you?"


    Luca looked at Jacob''s change of expression without much surprise. People from the Ind of Despair


    were good at putting on a show.


    Evil people could put on a facade of being good, act like they were not causing any trouble, and even


    "Where''s the boss?" asked Luca.


    "Over there. Walk over and you''ll see him," replied Jacob. His task was to lure Luca over. The next step


    was to y his role as an intern.


    Luca shot a nce at Jacob.


    He had a pleasing and pleading expression just a moment ago, but now, he lookedpletely


    different.


    People could really change so drastically...


    His features were the same, but his temperament hadpletely changed.


    Luca did not say anything and walked in the direction he indicated.


    When she reached the corner, a person appeared beside her, reminding her, "Turn left."


    Luca frowned and followed the person''s instructions to turn left while wondering how many of Abel''s


    people were arranged in this venue.


    She refused to believe Abel had the capability to organize such an industryworking event.


    She had already checked before she came. The event had a history of many years.


    Thus, it should not have much to do with Abel.


    Moreover, invitations like this usually had a maximum limit of six people.


    However, there were already two people who were obviously Abel''s subordinates now.


    Furthermore, they all had Caucasian facial features.


    Luca could not help but be more cautious. At the same time, she wondered when the Ind of Despair,


    which had always had more foreigners, had suddenly added so many Caucasian faces.


    If they were just subordinates of thepany, Abel probably would not dare to arrange them to work


    for him...


    At the thought of this, Luca heard another person beside her say, "Turn right and you''ll see the person


    you want to meet."


    She could only follow that person’s instructions and turn right.


    Sure enough, Abel was standing there. It was a smoking area, but there were only two people.


    Abel and Shanks.


    At the moment, Abel was stillining to Shanks, who was standing beside him, "This kind of


    After that, he took a puff of his cigar and then slowly blew out a smoke ring.


    The smoke ring dispersed, and the smell in the air was a bit pungent.


    Luca knew that Abel''s cigars were carefully prepared by Shanks. The cigars would taste spicy when


    smoked, and the secondhand smoke produced was also pungent.


    She walked over and greeted Abel and Shanks, "Good morning, Boss. Good morning, Mr. Shanks."


    Even though she was reluctant to see them, she had to greet them.


    She could not let Abel find out anything yet.


    Abel squinted at the woman in front of him. His voice carried a strange tone as he said, "Oh, why if it


    isn''t Dr. Craw?"


    "Boss, do you have any instructions?" asked Luca.


    "Can I stillmand you?" questioned Abel, squishing the cigar in his hand into a deformed shape.


    Luca remained silent.


    Abel threw the cigar at her.


    If Luca did not dodge the cigar that was still lit, it could easily burn her clothes. Luca instinctively


    avoided it.


    "How dare you?" Abel narrowed his eyes, pondering how to torment Luca.


    "I can''t have a hole burned into my clothes. Otherwise, it’ll arouse Mr. Crawford’s suspicion,” exined


    Luca.


    Abel sneered. "That''s right. Mr. Crawford. I almost forgot about him. You came with that man..."


    Luca pursed her lips. Judging from how much she understood Abel, he would definitely cause trouble


    now.


    She kept quiet, waiting for him to provoke her.


    As Luca stayed quiet, Abel let out another cold snort and questioned in a low voice, "Luca, you''ve got


    some nerve."


    "Boss, I haven''t done anything," replied Luca as she lowered her head, avoiding his sharp gaze.


    Those eyes were her nightmare. Looking at them for too long would make her afraid.


    Abel sneered. "Is that so? Are you sure you haven''t done anything wrong? Luca... Oh no, perhaps I


    should call you Ivana..."


    Luca shivered for a moment when she heard the name Ivana.


    Back then, she was forced to undergo stic surgery and change her appearance.


    He said she was not Bianca anymore and had to change her name.


    However, she still insisted that she was Bianca even though her face had changed. She was still the


    Bianca who loved Luke.


    Yet..


    She thought she would never change her name in her lifetime, but Abel forcibly made her change her


    name.


    Ivana...


    Luca thought that since she had to change her name, there was no need to be called Ivana. She


    This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.


    should just be called Luca...


    However, Abel insisted that everyone call her Ivana. He said that a captive like her had no right to be


    called by her name on the Ind of Despair.


    Luca was in despair when she heard everyone constantly call her by this name. Her inner persistence


    was inexplicably shaken.


    Fortunately, after leaving the ind, she got rid of the name. Every time she heard Abel call her that, it


    was a reminder that she was actually just a captive of the Ind of Despair. Her heart would still


    tremble with fear.


    Abel noticed the change in her expression. He let out a coldugh and said, "What''s wrong? You forgot


    your real name after not returning to the Ind of Despair for so long?


    "Ivana..."


    Abel wanted to say something else, but Shanks, who was beside him, reminded him in a cold voice,


    "Don''t waste time. Just say what you want to say."


    Abel red at him. Even though Shanks had helped him a lot, he always felt that he was the boss of


    the Ind of Despair.


    He had the ability to establish such a kingdom even without Shanks'' help.


    Therefore, he really hated it when Shanks interrupted him while he was talking to his subordinates.


    However, unfortunately, Shanks did just that. The Ind of Despair still needed Shanks'' expertise at


    the moment. Due to certain events and Shanks'' aid, there was no turning back or making him vanish


    into thin air...
