Chapter 1946

Yerik's expression was ferocious and excited as he punched with all his might.

His punch aimed right at Luke's face. Would Luke still dare to be so proud after this?

Luca had a dark look as she saw the punch that was nearing Luke's face. She was quick to react andgrabbed onto Yerik's wrist. His punch came to a halt 20 centimeters away from Luke's face.

Yerik was stunned, and his eyes looked at Luca with a fierce gaze. Before he had the time to attack, helet out a yelp. “Ouch, let go!"

Saul got up and looked at Luca's slim fingers that were grabbing Yerik's wrist. Her fingers could noteven completely go around Yerik's wrist.

"What's... What's happening?" He looked at his son's pale face and knew he was not faking the pain.

However, those slim fingers did not seem like they were doing anything to hurt Yerik at all. Even so,she had managed to stop the punch.

Luca did not say a word, and Yerik was in great pain. He had no choice but to kneel and plead with her,"It hurts! Please, let go!"

"Are you going to hit him again?” she asked coldly.

"No, no." This was the greatest pain Yerik had ever experienced. He wanted to retrieve his hand, butLuca's grip remained firm.

He did not expect such a great woman to be by Luke's side!

Luca noticed he was in so much pain that his face had turned pale and red. She snorted coldly andshoved his hand away.

Yerik quickly clutched his wrist. There was just a slight redness with no marks on his skin.

If other people had grabbed his wrist so firmly, it would definitely have left marks on his skin. However,Luca grabbed his wrist and made him experience terrible pain but no marks were left on his skin.

Saul quickly held his son's arm and wanted to have a look at his injury. "Let me have a look. Where'sthe injury?"

He looked at Yerik's wrist, then looked at Yerik, astonished. "Are you really in pain?"

Yerik shoved his father's arm away and had a dark expression. That woman looked scrawny but hadsuch huge strength. "I'm alright."

Saul looked at Luke and knew he was in the wrong, so he did not say anything.

"If you guys aren't going to leave, then I'll call the cops." Luca looked at Yerik's dark expression andgave one last warning.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Crawford."

Even though she had just dealt with Yerik, his hand was not injured. Besides, it was Yerik who tookaction first. Saul was speechless. His son acted rashly, and this made the negotiation fail. He had nochoice but to drag Yerik out of the villa.

Luke looked at the supplements on the coffee table and ordered the maid, "Give these items back tothem. Make sure they leave the villa area before you come back."

"Alright, Mr. Crawford." The maid carried the two bags and rushed out.

Luca retrieved her gaze. Earlier, she had pressed the trigger point on Yerik's wrist, which was why heyelped in pain.

Luke's wheelchair was an electronic one, so he was able to control it himself. However, when thepunch came swinging down on him, it did not seem like he had the intention of maneuvering thewheelchair to dodge it. Was it because he predicted that she would take action?

Luca lowered her gaze.

She could not help but ask, "Mr. Crawford, who's Saul Leo?"

She kept thinking about it and could not figure out which rich businessman had the surname Leo in ACity. However, there were so many people in A City, and she had not been here for so many years.Hence, it was not surprising that she did not know the emerging wealthy families.

Luke looked outside the window. "Saul Leo struck the lottery two years ago and became rich. He's inthe property industry now."

Luca came to an understanding. She had sensed that Yerik's aura did not match his clothes. It turnedout that they had gotten rich overnight, so she understood why he had such an attitude.

He was in the wrong but was not even remorseful. He went as far as to try and hit others.

It seemed that his confidence did not only come from Saul pampering him. It also came from thefortune his family obtained from striking the lottery.

"So, did you decide to settle it according to the law?" Luca asked that for a reason.

From what she understood about Luke, if Luke wanted to settle it according to legal procedures, hewould not have mentioned anything about the lawyer. He would have immediately gotten the securityguards to chase them out.

However, he had mentioned the lawyer...

He also did not chase them out immediately.

Also, Saul was doing business in the property industry now. Despite not knowing how much he wonfrom the lottery, it meant that Saul was still useful to him seeing as Luke did not act cruelly.novelbin

He was a man who would prioritize benefits above all else when it came to business.

"We'll see about that." Luke squinted his eyes. Saul might perhaps be useful to him, so he was not in ahurry to provoke him.

Even if he decided to settle it personally, there was still a long way to go before the court call, so hewas not in a hurry.

Luca nodded and looked at the teacup in front of him. He did not drink it at all. She thought to herself,'Thank God he still knows how to take care of himself and didn't drink the tea.'

"Are you going back to the bedroom to work on the documents?" she asked.

"Yes." Luke casually placed his hands on the wheelchair. If one were to ignore the wheelchair, he wassitting just like a rich man.

Luca pushed the wheelchair back to the maid's room.

After pushing him to the front of the office table, she took a step back. "Mr. Crawford, if there's nothingelse, I'll head over to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

If it were not for the Leos, she would have almost finished preparing lunch by now.

"Off you go." Luke opened a new document.

After Luca left the maid's room, she walked to the kitchen and continued slicing the meat. After that,she washed the vegetables that the maid had only managed to wash halfway. When all the ingredientswere prepared and she was about to start cooking, the maid returned.

She quickly walked into the kitchen and poured herself a cup of warm water to warm herself. She sawLuca preparing to cook and stepped forward. "Let me have a cup of water first, Ms. Luca. I'll be there ina moment to help you."

"No hurries. Go warm yourself first," said Luca. She knew that the maid had gone out to ensure that theLeos had really left. She did not even put on her coat and just carried the two bags of supplementsbefore running out.

"Say, both of them are quite weird. Just look at the era we're in right now. They still knelt down andbegged others. That younger man is even worse. He got mad when he was embarrassed and evenwanted to pick a fight,” the maid could not help but complain. When she saw Yerik lifting his fist, shewas so scared.

If Yerik really punched Luke, both the maid and Luca would have no idea how they should protectLuke.

"They think that just because they're rich, they can do anything they want. I'm guessing he must havedone lots of bad deeds in the past, and each time, his father would just bribe the other party to settlethe issue. Hence, his son became fearless," Luca explained and poured some olive oil into the hot pan.

She added only a little oil because Luke had to eat clean.

"No matter how rich they are, they won't be as rich as Mr. Crawford. If they really want to talk aboutwealth, Mr. Crawford's fortune is enough to crush theirs, right?” The maid made a guess as she wasnot familiar with the business world, but she knew Luke was capable.

"I have no idea." Luca smiled while frying the dishes as she recalled Luke's expression from earlier.

Even when Yerik's punch was about to land on his face, he still remained composed. The Leos wereweird, but Luke was really weird today as well.
