Female Novel
Chapter 2574
After listening to what he had to say, Luca still could not comprehend why Matysh was so desperate forher.
There were many better-looking women out there with nicer bodies than her, yet he still wasted somuch time and effort on her.
Luke had to be on guard at all times to prevent him from getting his hands on her, and the same wentfor her. She had to be on alert every time she went out in case she fell into Matysh's hands.
The scariest part was that she had no idea when Matysh would make a move.
“Maybe they'll make a move tomorrow," Luke guessed as Matysh was not the type to be patient.
According to Matysh, Luca was the only woman he could not get his hands on even after plotting for solong.
Luke had a gloomy look on his face. Luca was his.
She was his woman, so there was no way he would let him have her.
"So, tomorrow..." Luca frowned. If he was going to make a move, should she go or not?
If she decided not to go, hiding in the mansion was not the way to go either as she still had a life to live.
She could not stay in the mansion forever, right?
Moreover, would Matysh give up if she just stayed at home?
No, he would not.
Hence, she had no choice but to go even though she knew that it was dangerous.
"Don't worry about tomorrow. I'll make the arrangements," Luke told her not to worry as he wouldensure her safety tomorrow for sure.
Not only tomorrow, but as long as Matysh was around, he would protect her.
Luca felt at ease with Luke protecting her, but would Matysh give up after one failure?novelbin
He hired an organization to do such a thing, which meant that he would not appear during theabduction.
If he failed the first time, would he try a second time or a third time?
As long as Matysh was in A City, she was not safe.
The thought of becoming Matysh's prey yet not being able to do anything about it in fear of alarmingAbel, made Luca feel restless.
If not for fear that Abel would join hands with Matysh, she and Amur would have been over and donewith Matysh in a matter of minutes.
“If he fails this time, there'll be a next time, right? I don't think he'll appear because he hired someoneelse to abduct me last time, which means that we can only catch them all in one fell swoop when hemakes an appearance..." Luca had something in mind.
"No." Luke knew what she was thinking.
She wanted to use herself as bait to get the police to catch Matysh red-handed, but it was toodangerous.
He had to protect his woman and not let other men lay their hands on her.
"But he might pull something.." Luca did not want to trouble others for her own affairs.
Luke never hired idlers, so everyone who worked under him was an elite, and each of them worked intheir own areas of expertise.
Now, they all had to take time out because of her issue.
"Then I'll keep you safe." Luke put down his cutlery and said with a stern expression, "Listen to Rain'sorders tomorrow, and don't have any other ideas. Have you ever wondered what are the consequencesof falling into the hands of someone as cunning as Matysh?"
Luca dropped her gaze.
She had thought about it before, and she was certain that she would be chewed up until no crumbswere left.
However, she also believed that Luke would find her first thing if she were ever caught.
It was a risky move, but if they succeeded, Matysh would be settled once and for all.
The laws in A City would never allow someone like Matysh to commit crimes. Even if he was Russian,he would have to do time in prison here if he were ever convicted before being deported back to hiscountry.
If Matysh was kept under control here, it would be beneficial for Marcos as well.
"Don't worry, he won't be in A City for long, and he won't be able to do anything when he leaves. Plus,I've dug up all the crimes he has committed here in A City. Once it's put into effect, even if he returnedto Russia, he won't be able to escape sanction." Luke knew that she had such thoughts because shedid not want to give him any trouble.
However, he would not allow it.
"Okay." After what he said, Luca had no choice but to give up on that idea. Then, she looked at himand said, "Hurry up and finish the soup. It won't taste good when it's cold."
"Your soup tastes good even when it's cold." Luke picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup.
He felt the warm soup travel down from his mouth all the way to his stomach. It was a pleasant feeling.
Then, he finished the soup hurriedly.
In Norman Residence.
When Jack returned home from his meeting, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening.
Queenie was still waiting for him in the living room.
"It's late. Why are you still awake?" Jack frowned when he saw her sitting on the sofa alone.
Although Queenie had almost fully recovered and the examinations showed that the toxins hadcompletely left her body, it was still not good for her to stay up late.
"I'm waiting for you. Why did your meeting end so late?" Queenie stood up and walked behind him tohelp him take off his coat.
"The land in the western suburbs is ready to be developed, so there's a lot to do," said Jack. He had tobe there for all the decision-making, so the meeting went on until after 10 o'clock.
Even then, only the basic development plan had been settled. The next step would be the bidding.
"Did you see the message I sent you?" Queenie held his coat in her arms. Jack never replied to hertext.
Although he most likely read it, she still wanted to make sure.
"I did." Jack sounded stiffer at the thought of Leia.
He did not think that she dared to come back.
"It's that tone again." Queenie sighed with her eyebrows furrowed. "You're still father and daughter nomatter what Leia did to our family before. How can there be a feud between father and daughter?"
"You want her to move back?" Jack's eyebrows furrowed as well.
It was true that feuds did not exist between father and daughter.
However, he and Leia was not father and daughter. After all the absurd things she had done, includingruining the reputation of the Norman family, he felt like Leia was only here as a debt collector.
After collecting the debt, she should get lost.
However, it had been several years, yet Leia was still here. She even put their dear Bianca through somuch...
However, Queenie was still in the dark.
No matter how generous of a person Jack was, he could never forgive her.
"It was mentioned when we went to the hospital for a check-up today but I knew that you wouldn't allowit, so I said no. I just told her to recover quickly and that we would talk about it when she has fullyrecovered." Queenie felt helpless because of his objection.
"So why is she here?" Jack asked.
In Jack's opinion, every move Leia made was to poke around in his business.
"Didn't I tell you through text? Leia will go back tomorrow." Queenie made it clear when she texted himearlier, so there was no way he did not know the reason.
Jack paused for a moment.
Although he despised Leia, he liked Luca a lot.
Hence, his mood was lifted at the thought of Luca coming over tomorrow.
