Female Novel
Chapter 1501
After the security guards left, Luca opened the box and took out all the equipment. She started theinstallation process.
She was familiar with the equipment, and it did not take much time for her to assemble everything.
After she was done, Luca took out the skincare products she brought back from Allison’s villa andchecked the brands one by one. There were only two of them that were from brands she did not know.
She decided to start with these two products.
Luca casually ate some bread that she bought on her way back and started analyzing the components.
It was not a difficult task but it would take some time. She worked until midnight and finally got thecomponent analysis report of the two products.
One of the serums included bleach, an alcohol mixture, and an unknown chemical.
Luca frowned. Except for the unknown chemical, the other ingredients were very cheap. ‘Why wouldAllison use a product like this?’
She looked at the ingredient list and instantly understood that although the serum was harmful to theskin, it was the kind that could show amazing effects with one use. What Allison did not know was thatthe effect could be achieved only because the irritating chemicals were causing damage to the surfaceof the skin.
Luca knew that Allison would not take her skincare lightly. She might not have known the ingredients init and was tricked by its effects.
She looked at the other chemical substance, then at the time.
It was already three o’clock in the morning.
After she thought about it, she continued to extract the chemical substance to see if she could findsomething.
She still could not find out what kind of chemical substance it was although she worked until the firstbreak of dawn. Luca wrote down the combination of chemical substances and recorded it.
She then yawned and headed for the office.
Rhett bumped into her at the elevator and noticed how tired she looked. He was concerned and wantedto check on her. “Dr. Craw, did you not sleep well last night?”
Luca touched her face and replied, “Is it obvious?”
“You look dreadful. Um, and you have dark circles.” Rhett reminded her.
Luca smiled helplessly. When she realized that it was time to work, she had no time to put on makeupand just hurriedly washed up before she left the apartment.
She even ate breakfast on the road.
Maybe it was because this matter involved Luke’s mother, so she went all out and stayed up all nightjust to analyze these ingredients.
Luke was the only one she was willing to go to the ends of the earth for.
Luca looked at Rhett and asked, “By the way, I’ll show you a report. Have a look and see if yourecognize this chemical substance.”
She grabbed a piece of paper from the briefcase and handed it to Rhett.
Rhett took it. The elevator reached their floor and Luca saw that Rhett did not realize they weresupposed to get off the elevator, so she tugged on his sleeve and reminded him. “We’re here, let’s getoff the elevator.”
Rhett came back to his senses and said quickly, “Oh, okay.”
The two stepped out of the elevator without noticing that someone in the corner was taking a photo ofthem with a phone.
Luca looked at Rhett and asked, “Do you know this chemical combination?”
“It looks familiar. It looks like a research project my professor is doing, which involves a similarcombination of elements.” Rhett frowned as he recalled what he remembered.
Luca asked, “Do you still remember whether the research on this type of substance shows that it’sgood or bad?”
“I remember that it’s bad. It has a certain effect on the human body, so it was advised to have minimalcontact with it. However, I’m not 100% sure. Dr. Craw, where did you find out about this kind ofsubstance?” Rhett asked. Those in pharmaceuticals generally did not come into contact with thesechemicals, so it was normal for them not to know about this.
“A skincare product. I want to find out more about what’s going on. Can you help me?” Luca asked.
“Of course, I’ll go ask my professor now.” Rhett agreed without hesitation and used his phone to take apicture of the information on the paper.
Luca nodded.
She went to her office, put her things away, and then gave Jason a call on the internal line. “Mr. Doyle,is Mr. Crawford in the office now?”
“He’s around. Dr. Craw, do you want to see Mr. Crawford?” Jason asked.
“Yes, I have something to report to him. It’s about Ms. Tanner,” Luca said.
“Wait a minute, I’ll check with him,” Jason replied, put his phone aside, and left the special assistants’office.
Luca listened to the sound of his footsteps that got farther and farther. She waited patiently.
After a while, Jason came back, picked up the phone, and said to Luca, who was on the other end ofthe phone, “Dr. Craw, Mr. Crawford wants you to come up now.”
“Okay, I’ll go up right away,” Luca said while she picked up the documents and went to the top floor.
When she passed by Jason’s office, she asked, “Mr. Doyle, do you need to inform Mr. Crawford that I’mhere?”
“No, the boss is waiting for you inside. You can just knock on the door and go in,” Jason said with asmile on his face.novelbin
Luca nodded, walked to the entrance of Luke’s office, and knocked on the door.
“Come in,” A low voice came from inside.
Luca pushed open the door of the office and saw Luke sitting on the executive chair. He was workingon the documents. His focused appearance made her feel bad for interrupting him.
Many years ago, Luke would always bring work home so that he could accompany her as much aspossible at night.
At that time, when she saw how hard he worked, she could never bear to interrupt him.
“Mr. Crawford, I have something to report to you.” The moment Luke looked up and met her gaze, Lucaimmediately snapped out of it and looked at him.
“Come in.” Luke pointed to the seat opposite him.
Luca walked in without closing the door. After all, Jason was there and not anyone could come in.
Keeping the door open was one way to prove their innocence.
Luca sat on the chair opposite him, took out all the files, and placed them in front of Luke.
“I screened the skincare products yesterday and found two suspicious brands. After a comparativeanalysis of the ingredients, one of them has problems,” she said.
Luke did not say a word and picked up the documents she handed over to look at them.
Although he did not understand the content, he knew what was going on when he saw alcohol andbleach in the composition analysis.
“This ingredient comes from a bottle of serum that I can’t find. The ingredients in it are very irritating tothe skin but at the same time, it can show quick results. However, this is the effect of bleach. There’sno real or long-lasting effect,” Luca explained.
“She used something with such a harmful ingredient?” Luke knew how obsessed his mother was withbeauty.
The serum should be very irritating to use on the skin. It was unlikely that she would use it at random.
“Yes, but there’s an unknown chemical substance in it. I’m not too familiar with it so I’ve askedsomeone to check it. Maybe it’s this substance that prevented the skin from being irritated by other
chemical components so that the consumers wouldn’t feel any discomfort when using it,” Lucaexplained.
