?Chapter 3232 I''ve Dealt With Nutcases Before, I''ve Got This


    "Okay, thank you," thanked Luca.


    "Luca, what''s going on?" Vivian''s voice came from a distance.


    Luca looked toward the sound and noticed that Vivian had already approached. Vivian nced at the man in a security uniform standing next to Luca and recognized him as a security guard from Capital University.


    "It''s nothing," replied Luca. She did not intend to tell Vivian about the incident to avoid making her worry.


    After nodding at the guard to show her gratitude, she took Vivian''s hand and started walking toward the restaurant where they had reserved a table.


    "Let''s go. I''m hungry. Let''s get something to eat."


    "Sure." Vivian noticed that students were looking in their way. She was puzzled, but since Luca did not say anything, she figured it was not the right ce to discuss it and left with her.


    Once they were seated in the restaurant and ordered their food, Vivian handed Luca a bottle of water. She asked, "Now that there aren''t many people around, can you tell me what happened?"


    "I really can''t hide anything from you," replied Luca as she shook her head helplessly. Then, she told her about the situation with Karen and Pierre.


    Vivian frowned. "How could something like this happen? Madam Mallory has quite the nerve. How dare she send her men to nab you at the university?!"


    "There''s nothing they can do bute to the university since they can''t get to me anywhere else." Luca felt helpless. She had Warren protecting her during hermute when she was at thepany, so they had no chance there.


    "I''ve dealt with this kind of thing many times. They''re just shameless. You should be careful. If you need help, tell Mr. Crawford. He''ll definitely protect you," advised Vivian.


    "I know. Don''t worry." Luca knew Vivian said so for her own good. "Actually, I wouldn''t lose in a fight either, but there are a lot of students and vendors around. Fighting in this area would''ve had a bad impact."


    Vivian remembered Rhett mentioning that Luca knew how to fight.


    He even used her as an example to tell Vivian that if she did not want to be followed around, she should leam how to fight so that he could feel at ease.


    "Yes, I know you won''t lose, but it''s still too dangerous. Madam Mallory actually had the nerve to intercept you in public..." Vivian shivered and rubbed her arms. "Anyway, let''s not talk about that anymore. It''s your first day teaching, right? How did it go?"


    "It went fine. No issues," replied Luca. After all, she was teaching university students, so ssroom discipline was much better than in elementary or middle school.


    Plus, university professors only taught those who wanted to learn. As for those who refused to listen, the professors did not have to worry too much.


    This was not much of a problem for Luca.


    Moreover, Capital University was one of the top universities in the country. Its students were the best of the best, and teaching them was the easiest.


    "That''s good. I wanted to sit in on your ss to support you, but a professor had to reschedule a ss at thest minute, so I couldn''t make it," Vivian said with augh. Just then, Luca''s phone rang.


    "It''s Luke," Luca said to Vivian before answering the call. "Hi, have you had lunch yet?"


    As Vivian listened to their conversation and noticed how concerned Luca was for Luke, a smile spread across her lips. This was what love looked like.


    Couples who were in love should be like Luca and Luke.


    Luke''s voice came through the phone. "Getting ready to eat. Are you done with ss?*


    "If I wasn''t done, I wouldn''t have been able to answer your call," Luca replied with a smile on her face. "I''m having lunch with Vivian right now."


    Vivian heard her name being mentioned and greeted the person on the other end of the phone in English, "Good aftemoon, Mr. Crawford."


    "Good afternoon," replied Luke.


    Luce was worried that Vivian did not hear it, so she repeated, "He says good afternoon."


    Vivian nodded. "You two go ahead and have a chat. Don''t mind me."


    Luke, having heard Vivian''s voice, asked, "How was your ss today?"


    "It was great. The students were all very attentive," answered Luca. The students listened seriously and did not cause any trouble, which made Luca happy.


    Furthermore, after ss, she was surrounded by a few top students who asked her many questions about various topics, including her previous research.


    If she had not had lunch ns with Vivian, she suspected the students would have kept asking questions all afternoon.


    "But there was an incident after I left," added Luca.


    Before she could exin further, Luke guessed, "Karen made a move?


    "Sort of. She sent two men, but there were many students around, and the security guard noticed something was off and came over. They couldn''t do anything to me," exined Luca. Luke, who was clearly angry, replied, "How dare she.."


    "Remember what Mr. Mallory said about her?" Luca reminded him.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    When they learned that Karen had not given up on getting Luca to help, Luke discussed it with Percy.


    At the same time, Luca also confessed that while she could treat Pierre''s leg, she did not want to.


    Percy had agreed to respect Luca''s wishes, iming that Pierre''s misfortune was his own doing and would not interfere. He would offer help if needed.


    However, both Luca and Luke decided not to involve Percy.


    This was a minor issue. A small fry like Karen did not warrant much effort.


    When they declined Percy''s help, he reminded them, "With everything happeningtely, she''s be a little crazy. Be careful. Never underestimate what a mad person can do."


    Calling his own mother crazy meant Karen might indeed be quite unhinged.


    Luke recalled Percy''s words and let out a chuckle.


    "I''ve dealt with nutcases before. I''ve got this," said Luke.


    Luca let out augh too.


    Even though Karen was Percy''s mother and she was the one who made a move first, they


    had to retaliate carefully. Luca understood they could not go too far.


    "Alright, enjoy your meal with Vivian. Do you have more sses after lunch?" Luke remembered she had mentioned she had sses until five in the evening.


    "Yes, I have two more sses this afternoon. I''ll rest at Vivian''s ce for a bit after lunch," replied Luca.


    Even though the university had provided her with an office, she preferred not to go there.


    Sharing the office with other professors meant she would be bombarded with questions during her break.


    Young professors valued their rest and were not as invested in academic research as older professors were.


    Even the ten minutes she spent in the office this moming were enough for her to be surrounded by older professors. They all asked about her previous research.


    Luca was grateful for her ss as an excuse to escape. Otherwise, being chased down for exnations would drive her crazy.


    "Alright, let Warren drive you," said Luke.


    "Okay." Luca ended the call and saw Vivian watching her with a Cheshire-cat smile.
