?Chapter 3220 Cook For Her Biological Daughter


    "But I don''t want them to get married just like that," Karen muttered those words as she clenched her teeth. "Father, you must have a way to handle this."


    "What can I do? It''s your child. If you can''t manage your own child, how do you expect an old man like me to help? How ridiculous you are!" Old Master Mallory''s words made Karen''s face flush with embarrassment and anger.


    The truth was, neither of them had a solution.


    After watching Old Master Mallory leave, Karen mmed the door shut.


    She immediately called one of her subordinates. "How''s the situationing along?"


    "Ma''am, it''s proving difficult to kidnap Luca," reported the person on the other end. "Our guys found out that Luca has a driver driving her to and from work every day, and the driver is one of Luke''s men. He''s a real tough guy. Plus, Luca herself isn''t easy to mess with. She knows how to throw a punch too." The man had done his homework.


    Since this matter involved Luke, they had to proceed with caution.


    "What''s the point of having you around if you can''t handle this?" Karen frowned, clearly displeased. "If she were an ordinary person, I wouldn''t need you for this task." "Sorry, ma''am." The person on the other end fell silent.


    "I don''t want to hear excuses. Right now, pronto, ASAP! I want you to arrange for Luca''s kidnapping. If you can''t do it, find an organization that can!" Karen''s tone was harsh.


    Pierre was running out of patience. Karen was afraid that he might make things worse if he acted recklessly.


    "Yes, ma''am!" replied the man. He understood the urgency and knew they would be in serious trouble if they did not handle this properly.


    After the meeting with her research team, Luca rubbed her constantly twitching eyelid.


    She had a bad premonition.


    "Dr. Craw, are you okay?" asked Rhett when he noticed her rubbing her eyes incessantly. "My eyelid won''t stop twitching." Luca blinked her eyes, trying to alleviate the difort.


    She could not shake the feeling that something was wrong.


    "You''re probably just exhausted, replied Rhett. He noticed that her eyes were red from rubbing. "Why don''t you go back to your office and rest for a bit?" "Alright," Luca agreed, feeling fatigued. The morning''s experiments had been intense, and the whole team had been busy with them before the meeting.


    Her eyes had already started feeling ufortable during the meeting at the start of the day. She went back to her office and found her eye drops. After two drops to her right eye, she blinked a few times.


    Just as she was about to rest, her phone that was left on the table rang.


    Luca picked her phone up and realized it was Queenie who was calling.


    She massaged her temples before answering, "Good afternoon, Mrs. Norman."


    They had agreed that until her identity was fully restored, she would call Queenie ''Mrs. Norman'' to avoid raising suspicions.


    Due to the unusual circumstances, she had no choice but to do so.


    "Luca, have you had lunch yet? Queenie''s voice was soft but tinged with sadness.


    Luca nced at the clock and saw it was just noon. She did not answer Queenie''s question but instead asked, "Mrs. Norman, did something happen?"


    "Leia was sentenced this morning." Queenie''s voice was filled with sorrow. Despite all the wrongs Leia had done and the heartbreaks she had caused, Queenie had raised her for over 20 years. Seeing her go down the wrong path and end up getting sentenced was heartbreaking.


    "Sentenced?" Luca had been so busytely that she only briefly checked on Matysh''s case yesterday and did not realize today was Leia''s sentencing.


    Luca felt a sudden pang of guilt for not keeping up with Queenie''s news due to her busy schedule.


    "Yes, Leia has made so many mistakes. She has to take responsibility for them," murmured Queenie.


    Queenie had not been able to sleep for the past few nights, wondering if Leia''s life would have been different if Jack had been the one to raise her.


    At least, she would not have turned out this badly...


    She realized that she had spoiled her daughter too much.


    "Try to stay positive, Mrs. Norman," Lucaforted Queenie while quickly looking up Leia''s sentencing on herputer.


    Given her former celebrity status, the news had garnered a lot of attention.


    L was sentenced to three years.


    "Three years will pass in no time. If she can reflect and improve in prison, it might be a good thing,"forted Luca.


    The prison offered a chance for rehabilitation, but Luca knew that with Leia''s tarnished reputation, she would struggle to regain any standing after her release.


    If Leia could be independent, her family might be able to find her a suitable job. Otherwise, she would have to rely on Jack.


    "Yes, your father... Mr. Norman thinks the same. But I''d like to visit her before she gets transferred. Will youe with me, Luca?" asked Queenie. She knew that once Leia was moved from her current facility, it would be harder to see her.


    In the future, even if she tried to visit Leia on her own initiative, it would be futile if Leia refused to see her.


    Queenie also has a strong feeling that Leia would not want to see her.


    That was why she wanted to visit Leia herself before she was moved to another location.


    "Of course, Mrs. Norman. When do you want to go?" Luca agreed to apany her.


    Queenie''s health was fragile, and having someone with her during the visit would be beneficial.


    "I''d like to go this afternoon if that''s possible. Mr. Norman said she''ll be transferred right after the sentencing, and I''m afraid we won''t get to see her if we go toote," exined Queenie.


    "Alright." Luca nodded. "Mrs. Norman, it might be better to use Luke''s name."


    Given the circumstances, Leia would likely refuse to see any of them, but she was once in love with Luke. Hence, using his name might increase the chances of a meeting.


    Perhaps Leia would like to see him.


    "Okay," Queenie understood, feeling even more guilty about her daughter as she recalled what happened back then.


    After the call, Luca took a leave of absence from Mo and informed Rhett about the tasks for the afternoon.Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    She then had Warren drive her to Norman Residence.


    Queenie was surprised to see Luca arrive so quickly and asked, "Why did youe over so soon? Have you had lunch?"


    "No, not yet." Luca shook her head.


    "You didn''t have to rush. How about some pasta? I''ll make you a bowl," suggested Queenie as she led Luca to the dining table. "If I''d known you wereing so early, I would''ve waited to have lunch with you."


    Queenie had already eaten lunch and felt awkward offering Luca the leftovers.


    "Mrs. Norman, it''s okay. Do you have any leftovers from lunch? I''ll just have a bit." Luca could see the wony etched on Queenie''s face and the redness in her eyes. It tugged at her heartstrings.


    "It''s no trouble. Making you a bowl of pasta is the least I can do. It''s been so many years...." Queenie trailed off, wanting to say that she had rarely cooked for her biological daughter.


    However, with the housekeeper present, she kept some things unsaid.
