Female Novel
Chapter 1448
That was an important discovery.
The shopping bags on the table were solid proof that Luca’s statement did not reflect the reality of thesituation.
Gale was concerned about Luke’s safety. He asked, “Should I continue to investigate this, Boss?”
They had been investigating Luca for a long time. However, they had shifted their focus onto Tiarecently, and they had not been paying much attention to Luca.
Now that something so serious had happened, Gale considered shifting his focus back to Lucabecause he could not shake off his suspicion toward Luca.
“Yes. Split up with Rain. Let her continue to investigate Tia,” Luke said. After this incident, Luke couldsense that Luca was planning something.
More importantly, it was a plan to get closer to him.
Gale nodded and said, “We don’t know Luca’s plan yet, Boss. Why don’t you stay away from her fornow?”
He made the suggestion because he was worried about Luke’s safety.
However, Luke said, “No. I’ll have to play into her plan.”
“But if the Island of Despair is behind her…” Gale hesitated. He disagreed with what Luke said.
“I’m only doing this because the Island of Despair might be behind her. I can only know what she wantsto do by getting close to her,” Luke said insistently, seemingly not perturbed that he would be puttinghimself in mortal danger.
That was the only way that could lead him to Bianca.
That was why he had to be close to Tia and Luca. It may seem as though he was walking into theirtrap, but actually, he was leading them into his trap.
Gale could tell that nothing could convince Luke otherwise. He could only nod and say, “Take care ofyourself, Boss.”
“Things have been unpredictable recently. Get more people to protect Lanie and the other children,”Luke said.
If Luca were really from the Island of Despair, and she had gotten someone to kill an innocent personto get close to him, she was truly a cold-blooded person.
What secrets did Luca hide from him?
“Yes,” Gale nodded and said. “If the Island of Despair might be behind her, then we shouldn’t letTommy be so close to her.”
“No, that’ll be too obvious. I’ll try to keep a close eye on her, and I’ll protect Tommy,” Luke said.
The child was very fond of Luca, and he would definitely throw a tantrum if Luke told him that he couldnot meet Luca anymore. Worse yet, Luca might suspect something.
Gale thought of saying something but decided not to.
What he wanted to say was, “I know that you’re a good fighter, Boss, but Tommy is only a child. my fairshare of missions under you and the Island of Despair, and children are the hardest to protect.”
Children are weak yet unpredictable. It was very easy for bad guys to harm them, no matter how skilledtheir guardians might be.
Undoubtedly, Luke was playing with fire with such an arrangement.
One could even say that he was burning himself.
“Alright then.” Gale disagreed with Luke’s decision, but he could only follow orders.
“I know what you’re thinking, but you’ll just have to do what I say,” Luke said. He knew that Gale wasloyal to him, but sometimes, he had to put himself in danger to achieve what he wanted.
“Yes. I’ll leave the planning up to you,” Gale nodded and said.
“Don’t alert the police. They’re not going to find anything. Give me the details of the security guardthough. I’ll plan something,” Luke said.
Luca did not seem like a bad person, but the people from the Island of Despair were very good withdisguises.
He wanted to see how cold-blooded Luca could be.
“Yes,” Gale replied. It was easy to hack into the police station database to find personal informationabout the security guard.
Half a minute later, Luke received an email from Gale containing the information he wanted. He repliedto Gale with a voice message, “Investigate her, but don’t alert her.”
He believed that they could not find any dirt on Luca because she was alerted of their presence.
Luca’s background was clean, and it seemed as though she had nothing to hide. However, that onlymade her more suspicious.
It was as though she had been able to perfectly cover her tracks, and every step of her plot wascarefully planned. Luke could not help but think that she was hiding something.
Luke turned around and left the lounge. Jason was waiting outside. When he saw Luke, he remindedhim, “You have a meeting in ten minutes, Mr. Crawford.”
“Mm. I’ll go and make preparations,” Luke nodded and said. He was not going to change his schedule.
Back at his office, he browsed through the security guard’s personal information, then forwarded it toJason. After that, Jason would contact a journalist to publish a detailed article about the security guardon the Internet so that everyone could read it.
Jason contacted a journalist he could trust and told him Luke’s request.
Even though the news of the murder had been publicized some time ago, the police did not release anyinformation about the victim, and the journalists were desperate for any information.novelbin

The journalist was very grateful that Jason provided him with first-hand information, and he promisedJason that he would get it done before noon.

At noon, the maid helped Luca sit in front of the dining table.
Luke’s apartment was elaborately furnished. As Luca sat on the chair, the fragrance of the food madeher hungry.
“Ms. Craw, you have a wound on your forehead, and I made you some light-tasting food so that it won’tleave a scar. I made a garden salad and some sandwiches. I can make you something else if thisdoesn’t suit your tastes,” the maid said.
Luca picked up a sandwich and took a bite. “I’m not picky. Anyway, your food is delicious.”
The maid was relieved to hear that.
After lunch, Luca did not return to the bedroom. Instead, she sat on the couch in the living room.
She felt a lot better after resting for the entire morning. As long as she did not move too abruptly, shewould not feel dizzy.
The maid handed her a glass of warm water. Luca took it and swallowed her medicine.
“Dr. Craw, do you want to watch some TV?” The maid asked.
Luca nodded. She was feeling quite bored sitting on the couch, so it was a good idea to watch sometelevision.
The maid turned on the television and handed her the remote control.
Luca switched to the news channel. The news anchor was reporting about the murder incident at herapartment.
The maid gasped in shock when she listened to the news. “It looks like no one is safe now,” she said.
