Female Novel
Chapter 1390
Gale immediately stepped up and held the impostor Bianca’s shoulders firmly so that she did not twitchas much.
Rain found the right opportunity, plunged the syringe into her chest, and injected the sedative into herheart.
The sedative worked almost immediately. Before the impostor Bianca could say anything to Luke, shecalmed down and slowly closed her eyes.
Rain wiped away some sweat on her forehead, then turned around and spoke to Luke, “She’s notgoing to last for much longer, Boss. What should we do?”novelbin
Luke looked at the impostor’s pale face. That face was exactly the same as Bianca’s face, but theywere two different people. He had been deceived so badly…
His face was ashen with anger. “If she dies, deal with the body appropriately. Also, the other side musthave already been alerted because she didn’t go to take the antidote. They might have already startedacting against us, so you should be careful. I’ll send more bodyguards to guard the mansion later in theday so you can focus on your task.”
Gale nodded. He glanced at the impostor Bianca, but there was no hint of sympathy in his eyes.
Rain voiced her concerns. “It’s not hard for us to deal with the body, but how are you going to explain itto the kids? Even though Lanie and Rainie know that she’s an impostor, what about Tommy?”
She was concerned that Tommy was still young and not as mature as his elder siblings. It would bevery troublesome if Tommy wanted his mother.
“He wouldn’t make a fuss.” Luke glanced resentfully at the woman on the bed. Then, he turned aroundand left the basement.
He suspected Luca had something to do with this, so he planned to use Tommy to find out more. It wasa good thing that Tommy liked Luca more than the impostor Bianca, so Tommy would not throw atantrum over his mother’s disappearance.
As Rain watched Luke leave, she bumped Gale with her elbow and asked him, “What does Bossmean?”
Gale shook his head. He did not know either.
Two hours later, Jason arrived at the mansion with the item that Luke wanted. It was the first time hewas there because he had not been part of Luke’s plan so far.
“Here’s the dashcam, Mr. Crawford,” Jason said as he took out the dashcam.
Luke nodded and looked at Gale.
Gale picked up the dashcam, took out the memory card, and inserted it into the computer.
“When is the earliest record?” Luke asked.
Gale browsed through the files. A while later, a smile appeared on his face. “Good news, Boss. Theearliest record is from one and a half months ago.”
Luke reclined on the couch. He seemed more relaxed.
He gave Gale two dates. The first was thirty days ago, and the other was the day when the impostorBianca took Rainie away.
The impostor Bianca did not have too many interactions with Luca. Luke could only guess that the twowomen met on those two dates.
Gale nodded and began to sift through the files.
Luke turned to speak to Jason, “It’s very late. You should go home.”
Jason replied, “Mr. Crawford, I think I should wait…”
Luke picked up his wine glass and said, “Come back in the morning. I need you for something else.”
Seeing that Luke was so insistent that he leave, Jason nodded and walked away. He was not going torefuse rest. By the time he got back, he would be able to cuddle with Sue for another two hours.
…
Luca woke up suddenly in the middle of the night. When she opened her eyes, she realized that theringing of her phone had interrupted her nightmare.
The phone was still ringing. Groggily, Luca picked up the phone, and her eyes widened when she sawa long string of numbers on the screen. Two seconds later, she answered the call.
“What are you doing now?” Abel said. His voice was as sinister and chilling as the dark night.
“I’m sleeping in my apartment,” Luca said woodenly as she stared at the ceiling.
She tried to recall the nightmare she had earlier. She could not remember the details, but she knewthat it was very scary.
“Have you met Bianca recently?” Abel asked. His contact in A City had told him that Bianca had notgone to take her antidote, and it was already two days past the appointed date.
“No.” Luca slowly closed her eyes. She did not expect that Abel would call her to ask her about it.
It should not have been surprising that Abel would find out about Bianca’s disappearance. Not onlycontrol his minions, but it also ensured that his minions did not run away.
“That was a fast answer. Do you know something that I don’t?” Abel asked suspiciously. He was notused to getting snappy answers from her.
“I’ve been busy at work. I haven’t seen that woman recently,” Luca repeated her answer. She knew thatAbel was an oversensitive person and would ask the same question in different ways, so she wouldanswer his questions the same way with the same tone of voice.
“It’s time that Bianca took the antidote, but she hasn’t shown up. I have a new mission for you. Go andfind out where she is.” Abel did not ask her any more questions. If she did not want to admit it, he knewthat it was useless to dwell on the same question.
Luca knew that Luke did not have much time to get to the bottom of the issue. There was only so muchthat he could do in a month.
“Why do I have to search for her? Don’t you have other minions in A City?” Luca sounded reluctant topick up the mission.
Her purpose in A City was different from the others, so she had never needed to pick up thosemissions.
Her only mission was to be Abel’s weapon against Luke.
“They’re also looking for her, but I need you to do it too. I suspect that Luke Crawford is keeping Biancacaptive. Try to find out where she is. You’re the only one who can do it,” Abel said. He was not going tolet Luca refuse.
Luca paused and did not say anything.
Abel seemed to have realized something. He narrowed his gaze and asked her, “Do you knowsomething that I don’t?”
“I only know as much as you do,” Luca said. “It’ll be too risky for me to investigate Luke. I’d be easilyexposed.”
Now that Luke was holding the impostor Bianca captive, Luca would be implicated if she obeyed Abel’sorders.
“You just have to do what I tell you to, Ivana. You have no right to refuse. I want to know if LukeCrawford is holding Bianca captive and how much he knows. Go and get to the bottom of it, then reportyour findings to me,” Abel said coldly. The iciness in his tone caused her to shudder.
Then, he continued, “Don’t even think of doing anything stupid. Your precious daughter is still in myhands. All you can do is do what I say so that she doesn’t suffer.”
