There was no such thing as off-the-book members of the Ind of Despair before this.


    That was why Luca did not know about them either. During the time she was away from the Ind of


    Despair, she wondered how much Abel had actually done.


    However, the more he did, the more it showed he was bing restless...


    At the very least, it proved he had intentions.

    However, Luca was not sure about whether this matter had anything to do with Luke. She just felt very


    passive now, not knowing what Abel was up to or whether it had anything to do with Luke.


    Therefore, they could only passively observe what he was doing and then analyze his actions.


    "Don''t think too much. If he really takes action, we''ll know." Luke knew what she was worried about.


    Worrying now was useless. After all, Abel was in the shadows while they were in the light.


    "If you''re free today, could you apany me to visit Marcos'' mother?" asked Luke. He was entrusted


    by Marcos to check on Sarah''s recent condition.


    Even though Marcos was still in A City, he could not meet Sarah often to avoid any risks of her being


    discovered by the Russians.


    Thus, even though he longed to see her, he could not.


    "Sure, let''s go after work this afternoon. Is Mr. Marcos still in A City?" asked Luca. She had not heard


    Luke mention Marcos leaving, so she assumed he was still in A City.


    "Yeah, he''s still here. He has to wait until Matysh''s matter is over before he can return to Russia," Luke


    said.


    Even though Marcos did not care much, Matysh’s issue still required his attention. Handling it in a


    different country was quite troublesome for him.


    However, his Russian family refused to listen to his exnations. They wanted him to stay here and


    resolve Matysh’s issue. Yet, Matysh refused to trust him, so it had to be Ethan who handled the matter.


    Marcos was quite content to sit back and watch the show.


    "It''ll be over soon. But I''ve always been curious. Ms. Por is just Marcos'' mother. She’s just a woman.


    Why can''t the Russians tolerate her? Is it just because of bloodline?" Luca always found this reason


    absurd.


    It was because the family thought Sarah''s bloodline was not worthy of their lineage and felt ashamed of


    it...


    Still, it did not make sense.


    If they considered Sarah''s bloodline shameful, why did they entrust Marcos to manage Matysh?


    Moreover, Sarah had not taken anything from the Abaza family. There was absolutely no need to keep


    tracing the whereabouts of a woman.


    "Their family matters are quiteplicated." Luke only said this much. "I''ll pick you up when you get off


    work, then we''ll visit her and have dinner together."


    He did not forget that he still had to attend the dinner hosted by Percy and Nina tonight.


    "Okay." Luca nodded, suddenly realizing that Luke knew some things about Marcos'' family. She looked


    up at his chin, stroked the stubble that had emerged, and asked, "You should know some things,


    right?"


    "Hmm?" Luke pretended to be confused.


    "Marcos'' family must have more than just bloodline issues if they''re going to such great lengths to hunt


    down Ms. Por. You must know something about it," said Luca.


    Luke chuckled. Luca was smart. She could immediately catch on to the inconsistency in his words.


    "Indeed, but Ms. Por is truly pitiful. Even after acknowledging Mr. Marcos, she still has to hide.” Luca


    let out a sigh, then looked at Luke. "Let''s get up. It’s not early anymore."


    "Okay." Luke nodded. He was supposed to get up to deal with work anyway, but he got dyed by


    reading Karen''s report.


    The editor-in-chief of New Youth Daily was quite responsible. Within ten minutes of the report being


    released, they had a response ready and shared the report link with him.


    However, they did not call him to avoid disturbing him. Luke sent a message to the editor-in-chief of


    New Youth Daily, indicating there was no need to worry. Then, he got up to freshen up.


    Karen woke up and realized it was already past six in the morning. She yawned, but sleep was far from


    her mind.


    By now, the report fromst night should have been on the inte.


    Karen opened the webpage and took a nce. As expected, the reporters did their job quickly. They


    had already reported on the matter.


    She skimmed through it. The content was fine.


    Basically, whatever she said was how the reporters reported it.


    There was no exaggeration or weird spections like before.


    Karen felt relieved seeing the report.


    She initially thought her rification was the wrong move, but unexpectedly, Percy helped her resolve


    the matter.


    Furthermore, things turned out pretty well in the end.


    Karen heaved a sigh. She felt Percy had finally matured.


    Back then, he only knew how to cause trouble and relied on family to solve problems. This time, he


    helped her to resolve the situation when she could not handle it herself...


    Karen thought her youngest son had grown up and learned to handle such matters.


    She felt content at the thought of this.


    She scrolled down and looked at thements.


    Most of thementers were incredulous that Ss was fine!


    Some questioned the date of the interview, but soon, someone posted the video again. The timestamp


    showed it was 11:00 pmst night.


    At the same time, some asked Ss himself to rify what movie it was.


    However, suchments did not gain much attention in thement section.


    After all, Ss himself had stood in front of the reporters. Did they really need to know which movie he


    was watching?


    It was also because of his im that nobodyshed out at the reporter from New Daily Youth, which


    irritated Karen.


    However, irritated as she was, she had no intention of offending Luke now.


    She still needed Luca''s help...


    At the thought of this, Karen could not help but let out a sigh. If she had known there would be such a


    day, she would not have retaliated against Luke and Luca no matter how angry she was...


    Now that she had offended Luca, asking her to help with Percy''s dry needling treatment would surely


    be impossible.


    Still, even if Luca refused, Karen still had to make her agree to help.


    While Karen pondered how to do this, she received a message.


    [Madam, tonight at 7:00 pm, Mr. Percy and Nina will be hosting a dinner at Blue Coast Restaurant.


    Luke and Luca will also attend.]


    Karen narrowed her eyes as she stared at the message. When she thought about how to approach


    Luca and tell her about this, the opportunity presented itself.


    It was a trap set by Percy...


    Did Percy know she wanted to find Luca''s help, so he deliberately set up a trap to provide her with an


    opportunity?


    However, she immediately dismissed this possibility after she saw Nina’s name.


    Percy did not arrange this for her convenience to look for Luca.


    Instead, it was because Luke and Luca had taken Nina in. The couple wanted to express their


    gratitude, which was why they arranged for this dinner.


    “All the attention is on that woman now. Does he even see me as his mother anymore?" Karen looked


    at the message and expressed her dissatisfaction.
