Female Novel
Chapter 2590
After the caretaker left the ward, Luca and Luke sat on the sofa, keeping Jack and Queenie company.
Luke held his phone and got busy handling the company's matters. Even though he was not in theoffice now, there were piles of documents that he had to review. Jason sent him the electronic versionof the documents to him. Then, Jason worked together with Luke to handle the documents through avirtual meeting while Jason remained at the office.
Luca knew Luke was busy attending to the company's matters. That was why she did not disturb him.
She looked down as she tried to figure out everything that happened today.
If it were not for Leia, her biological parents would not have gotten injured. Even if the police officerscould not figure out what happened, she would not let Leia get away with it easily.
Luca looked at the thick bandage around her hand. Matysh was another person whom Luca would notlet get away easily either...
If Matysh's men had only injured her, she would wait for the justice system to take its course.
However, his men even injured her parents. She could never allow this to slide.
She would not allow the people she loved the most to get hurt because of her.
A stern look flashed across Luca's eyes. She pursed her lips and thought quietly about how she shouldhandle the matter.
Luke's phone rang. It was Gale who called.
“Let me answer a call." Luke rose to his feet and said to Luca.
"Okay." Luca looked at him. The moment their gazes met, her eyes were calm and peaceful.
Luca had already learned how to conceal the emotions deep down in her heart that had nothing to dowith Luke when she was facing him.
Luke pushed the ward door open. After he walked out of the ward, he answered the call, "Anything?"
"Boss, Rain sent me the surveillance footage a moment ago. I've gone through the footage that wasrecorded a few days ago and I found out that a part of the footage appears to be the same as the onerecorded two days ago. I think someone must have done something to it," said Gale.
"Can you recover it?" Luke leaned against the wall at the end of the hallway with one of his hands in hispocket.
The way he did it casually caught the attention of the patients' family members and the nurses whowere passing by.
"I think so, but I'll need the CPU in Norman Residence. I'm not sure if the police officers have taken itaway. Besides, we can't enter the house either," Gale made a guess. After all, the police officers hadsealed the house with barricade tape.
"They shouldn't have found out that quickly," said Luke. "It's not a murder case. The tapes will be takendown soon. I'll ask Dad to give you permission to enter the house and take the CPU when he's feelingbetter tomorrow."
“Got it, Boss,” replied Gale. It would be an easy task for him to retrieve the CPU with Jack's help.
"One more thing, send another female bodyguard to the hospital to keep an eye on Leia," instructedLuke. Since Leia could escape the police officer and the bodyguard and come upstairs, Luke had toarrange for another person to watch over her.
The ward Leia was staying in was a female ward. It would be inconvenient for a male bodyguard tostay in the female ward. That was why it would be best to arrange a female bodyguard for her.novelbin
"Leia? She's so cunning. Why don't we get her a female bodyguard who's disguised as a caretaker?"suggested Gale. The bodyguard who was responsible for keeping an eye on Leia had already reportedto Gale that he had failed to do his job today, and he told Gale that Boss ran into her.
That was why Gale thought Leia was a difficult person. It would be best if they could arrange a femalebodyguard disguised as a caretaker for Leia.
"I'll leave it to you.” Luke had no comment about it.
"Okay, Boss. I'm getting back to work now," replied Gale. He had special skills when it came tochecking surveillance footage, and he could play different footage on different screens at the sametime. Besides, he could find the key to something odd in the footage almost immediately. Now, he onlyhad to compare the footage today with the footage from a few days ago to make sure that he was right.
After Luke ended the call, he walked into the ward and continued to accompany Luca.
The caretaker returned to the ward as soon as she had bought Jack's and Queenie's necessities fortheir stay in the hospital.
Luca was not planning to leave yet. She was planning to stay until nighttime.
It was quiet in the ward. The caretaker was knitting a sweater while Luca kept looking at the two ofthem on the beds with a worried expression on her face. Even though they were asleep, she wasconstantly checking their pulse.
Luke sat on the sofa, handling his work. Rain would send him messages to report to him what wasgoing on at the police station once in a while.
Everything was going smoothly so far.
On the other hand...
Matysh was throwing a tantrum after knowing that the mission had failed.
He pointed his finger at Mandy, whose hair was a mess. He questioned her, "What did you tell me backthen? You were certain that the mission would succeed. The mission has failed now. Tell me, whatshould we do about it? How am I supposed to get Luca?"
Mandy covered the other side of her face with her palm. Matysh had given her a merciless slap in theface a moment ago. She failed to dodge, and now the side of her face was swollen red.
"There's always a chance that the mission would fail. Did I ever guarantee that it would be a success.Plus, we did everything you told us to do. We even opened the door for those thugs. It was them whodidn't manage to get Luca. What it's got to do with me?" She gave the man who was almost going
insane a resentful glare.
How could he still think about how to get Luca when things were at this point? Was he not afraid ofthose thugs turning him in?
If something like that happened within the borders of A City, he had to bear the legal responsibilitiesand go to prison no matter how wealthy and how influential he was in Russia.
Besides, the mission failed because of their incompetence!
How could he blame it on her and Leia?
Mandy had purposely pulled the strings to make Leia help them. They did a good job, but she had toget scolded and beaten up by Matysh. Mandy felt resentful.
“This has nothing to do with you? This has nothing to do with you, huh?" Matysh repeated the samesentence twice. He suddenly dashed toward her and grabbed her messy hair. He was about to slamher against the table. "If it weren't for you encouraging me to do what I did today and if we had beencareful enough, the mission wouldn't have failed!"
Mandy realized what he was about to do to her. She immediately struggled and escaped.
Matysh did not expect her to fight back. He was pushed and almost fell after losing his balance.
"Matysh, are you crazy? If we didn't make a move today, how much time will there be left for you toseize the chance and take action? The men you found were useless. They're pieces of sh*t. Theycouldn't even handle a woman. So, stop blaming me. You know what? I'm done pleasing you.Remember to give us the money that you promised to give me and Leia. Otherwise, I'll drag you downto hell with me!" Mandy warned him. The two of them would be held accountable for this. She hadrecorded the conversation between her and Matysh when they were talking about kidnapping Luca. Itwas to prevent him from going back on his word and denying it.
Matysh frowned and stared at the woman in front of him. She used to be gentle and submissive. Hewas fond of her as she was the kind of woman he wanted.
However, she was behaving like a shrew who did not care about anything now.
"Hah, don't even think about getting the money when I haven't gotten Luca." Matysh's obsession withLuca was unbelievably crazy.
It was not that he was reluctant to spend the money. He just thought people who could not do their jobswell did not deserve the money.
"You mean you're not giving us the money?" Mandy narrowed her eyes. Her swollen face made herlook terrible and flustered.
"You want money? Sure. Get Luca on my bed. Otherwise, you won't be getting a penny!" Matyshdemanded. The more he wanted Luca, the more anxious he felt when he could not get her.
