Female Novel
Chapter 1955
"Is that so..." Luca frowned slightly. He still wanted to attend the event even though he was injured.
"I don't feel comfortable handing the task over to others for important occasions as such," Luke said.He finished the warm water and put it on the table.
Luca looked at his cast and said, "But your leg..."
"Start packing. You'll be going on a business trip with me," Luke said. Not only was he going, but shewas going too.
If he had to go by himself, it was impossible for him to find out who was controlling Luca when he hadto face so many bidders.
Luca felt awkward. "I'm going too?"
"I need someone to take care of me. You're more attentive compared to Jason. Do you have anyobjections?" Luke asked.
"No, I'm fine with the arrangement." Luca shook her head. 'Am I allowed to say no? Of course not.'
Even if the wound on her waist had not healed, she could not say anything. Since Luke asked, shecould only say yes...
"Get ready. We'll leave next week." Luke finished speaking and looked away.
Luca replied with a hum and walked out of the room.
The maid had not gotten off work yet. She was cleaning the living room.
Luca glanced at the time and said, “It's getting late. You should get off work."
"I'll get off work after cleaning this table." The maid looked at her. She thought of Luke's dangerousbehavior just now and said, "Ms. Craw, I saw you helping Mr. Crawford upstairs today."
"Yeah." Luca nodded. She knew what she was going to say. She thought to herself that a maid whowas as responsible as her was rare.
"That's too dangerous. If he wants to go upstairs, you can call me. I can carry him upstairs," the maidsaid.
"Mr. Crawford wanted to put some private documents in his safe, so that's why he did that. Thereshould be no next time," Luca said. She watched as the maid finished cleaning the table and urged her,"The rest can be done tomorrow. The later it is, the colder it gets.”
Only if the maid got off work could she confidently go into Luke's room to get the document. "That'strue. I'll get off work, then." The maid smiled and walked into the kitchen with the rag.
Luca did not go upstairs immediately. She waited for the maid to come out of the kitchen and leave thevilla before she slowly went upstairs.
As she went up the stairs, her legs were shaking.
Tonight, she was going to do one more thing that would hurt Luke...
Although she was reluctant, she still reached the top of the stairs. The moment she stepped onto thesecond floor, Luca looked toward the corridor.
It was a matter that had to be done sooner or later. She could not risk Nyla's life.
"Luke, I'm sorry. I’m doing this for our daughter..." After she apologized softly, Luca walked into Luke'sbedroom.
The door opened with a click. At the same time, the surveillance screen on Luke's side also lit up.
He watched Luca walk toward the safe in silence and with a complicated expression. ‘She’s going afterthe bidding document...’novelbin
Luca walked to the safe. The first was the twist combination lock, where four digits made up thepasscode. She thought about it, entered her birthday, and it showed an input error...
It was not her birthday?
Luca was stunned. Then, she entered her birth year. With a click, the lock was unlocked.
She pursed her lips. If she guessed correctly, the second password should be her birthday.
All the passwords set by Luke were related to her. He cared deeply about her, but now, she had to dosuch a thing...
Luca did not want to do it, but Nyla was still in Abel's hands.
She had no choice but to go for the digital password lock, which was still a four-digit password. Sheentered her birthday and the safe opened without a hitch.
Luca looked at the contents of the safe. On the top layer were Luke's valuables, including cash,watches, and the accessories he sometimes wore.
The bottom layer was where the item that Abel wanted was placed.
Luca's hands trembled when she bent down and reached out to take out the bidding document.
In the end, she still took it out. Her face was bleak when she looked at the bidding document. Sheclosed the safe, feeling extremely guilty. She fled from Luke's bedroom soon after.
Luke sat in front of the computer and looked at her figure with his deep-set eyes.
He opened the drawer and looked at another bidding document. The real bidding document was in hishands.
That copy was just for Luca. No matter who she wanted to give it to, it would not affect him.
Since he had to prepare two bidding documents and the matter was confidential, only he and Jasonhad worked on the copy. During this time, they were so occupied because the workload was heavy.
Luke did not want Luca to suspect anything, so he could only do so.
Luca quickly returned to her bedroom and put the bidding document on the dresser.
Originally, she planned to scan the bidding document, then revise some important points beforesending it to Abel. However, Abel said that she was not allowed to change anything. If he found out,Nyla would suffer.
Therefore, she gave up scanning the document and chose to use a camera to photograph the contentsof the document page by page.
It took Luca about half an hour to photograph the thick stack of documents. She returned to Luke'sbedroom, placed the document back in place, and quickly walked away.
She did not know that Luke was watching her every move.
Luca was back in her bedroom. She uploaded the photos from her phone to the computer, then putthem in the same folder. Finally, with trembling hands, she sent the folder to the designated emailaddress.
Five minutes later, Abel called her.
"I've already sent you the bidding document. What else do you want?!" Luca's tone had a slightfluctuation.
Abel was very happy. The more Luca was like this, the better he felt. ‘Doesn't she want the best forLuke? I’ll make her do something to hurt Luke, then.
'Do they want long-lasting love? Impossible!'
"I just want to compliment you for a job well done," Abel said.
Luca clenched her fist with one hand and responded, "I don't need your compliment. Make sure youkeep my daughter safe!"
"That's right. Kathryn has grown taller. I heard that she’s still thinking about you and wants you to comeback soon." Abel deliberately talked about Nyla to cause her mood to swing.
With her daughter on one side and Luke on the other, it was so hard to choose. It was interesting thatshe chose Nyla in the end.
If it were him and there was Kassy on one side and their child on the other, he would definitely chooseKassy.
They could have another child, but there was only one Kassy...
Thinking of Kassy who had left him, Abel's tone darkened once more. She had already passed away."Luca, when do you think I should let you come back?"
Luca trembled with anger at his words but said nothing.
She was afraid that he would notice her reaction if she said anything, which would make him evenmore impudent and happy.
"Heh, it seems that you don't want to come back for now. That's fine. Stay by Luke's side and destroyhim little by little." Abel's tone was dark. ‘Since she chose to protect the child, she’s destined to destroyLuke. That’s a wonderful choice.’
