Chapter 2577
When Queenie ended the call, Leia was eager to know what she said. “Mom, is she coming?"
"She's almost here," said Queenie. Then, she proceeded to frown and nag at her when she recalledwhat Leia said earlier. "Leia, you shouldn't say the things you said just now in front of her. You're askingsomeone for a favor right now, so don't say those things."
They had been waiting in the living room for some time, but Luca had yet to arrive, so Leia began tosuspect that Luca made an empty promise to Queenie.
Thus, she kept badmouthing Luca.
Finally, Queenie had to call Luca to confirm after Leia urged her to.
Leia grunted and criticized her, "How pretentious of her. Do you really think she wants to help me?She's just doing it to please you and dad because it might be beneficial to her in the future."
Queenie went pale and looked toward the stairway. Fortunately, Jack was not coming downstairs. Hewould have thrown a fit if he heard that come out of her mouth.
Ever since Luca saved her, Jack thought highly of Luca, so he would not tolerate Queenie and Leiatalking badly about Luca.
"Enough, stop it. Your father will be mad if he hears this. Besides, Luca is here to help you. She won'thave any other intentions." Queenie hurriedly pressed Leia's hand to signal her to stop talking.
Otherwise, she may be kicked out if Jack heard her.
Leia pouted as Queenie was still siding with Luca. What a joke.
She was just asking for it at this point.
Leia stood up.
Upon seeing that, Queenie said, "Leia, don't make a scene. Luca will be here soon. Just sit downquietly."
"I'll go upstairs for a while," Leia said and headed upstairs.
Queenie watched as Leia went upstairs and sighed resignedly. Then, she stood up and walked to thekitchen. She saw the maid preparing the ingredients for lunch, so she put on her apron and said, "Ms.
Craw will be here soon, so go welcome her at the door."
The maid nodded and washed her hands before walking to the door.
Leia had locked herself in her bedroom upstairs. She picked up her phone to call Mandy. "She's almosthere. Why haven't you all made a move yet?"
"I'm in the command car. I heard that Luke sent people to protect Luca and that the route they're takingis hard for us to take action, so we haven't done anything until now," Mandy explained. She wanted toget a move on and kidnap Luca too.
However, these people were afraid that their plan would go south, so they had yet to make a move.
Leia was displeased to hear that Luke's people were protecting Luca.
If Luke sent so many people to protect her, it seemed like there was something going on between themafter all.
Leia's heart sank at the thought of them hiding their relationship in front of Queenie previously. Whenhe rejected Leia before, it made her plummet into an abyss, but he was dating a commoner now. Thatmade Leia ball up her hand into a fist.
Leia could not help but mutter, "B*tch."
Mandy, who was on the other end of the call, was taken aback. "Who did you just call a bitch?"
"Not you." Leia snapped herself out of her resentment and asked, "So what now? Now is a goodchance. Are you not going to do anything? It'll be hard for me to invite her over again in the future."
"I know, so we plan to take action at your place," said Mandy. She was just about to call Leia but didnot expect Leia to call her first.
"At my place?" Leia had thought of this before, but she did not think that it would actually happen.novelbin
"What? Didn't you say we could do it at your house last night and that we should teach your biasedparents a good lesson?" Mandy asked. She had agreed to do so last night, so she mentioned it toMatysh.
Having more places for them to make a move would give them more options.
"Yes, but you can't expose me," Leia reminded. She wanted Queenie and Jack to have a little accidentwhile Luca was getting kidnapped by Matysh.
"Don't worry about that, but we might need you to open the door to make it easier for them." Mandyglanced at the words typed by the man beside her and relayed the message.
"Won't you expose me like this?" Leia frowned as she could not take such risks. Luke cared about thecouple. If investigations found out that she was the one who let them in, she would not be able to stayin A City anymore.
"What are you afraid of? I just need you to open the door slightly. Getting them to open the doorthemselves would waste time, and they might get caught even before they make a move... I remember
you have a backdoor at your place. You can just open the backdoor. There's no need to open the frontdoor," said Mandy.
"Okay.." Leia had no choice but to say yes.
"It's a plan, then. You go open the door first, and be careful," Mandy reminded her.
Leia hung up the phone and took a deep breath. She then glanced at her phone screen.
The call was five-minutes-long, which meant that Luca would be here in five minutes. She had to avoidthe security cameras in the backyard to unlock the door in order to let them in within five minutes.
Then, she had to go back to her bedroom before Luca came. Otherwise, she would get caught.
After giving it some thought, Leia immediately put on a jacket to go to the backyard.
Although she had not lived here for a few years, the security camera positions here had not changed.Wayne had her study the blind spots of the security cameras in the house, so she was familiar withthem.
When she reached downstairs. Queenie was in the kitchen preparing lunch, and the maid was notthere.
Leia tiptoed out to the foyer and walked through the blind spot before reaching the backyard andopening the door.
No one was outside the door yet, so she figured that they were still following Luca's car.
Leia did not delay any further and hurried back in.
When she was about to head upstairs, she ran into Queenie walking out of the kitchen, who noticed herwearing a jacket. She asked Leia, “Leia, are you cold? Why are you wearing a jacket in the house?"
Leia turned around and pretended that she had just come down from upstairs. "No. Didn't you say thewoman was coming? I was going to welcome her in so that Dad wouldn't say I'm rude."
A smile appeared on Queenie's face when she heard that. Leia was finally a little more understanding."Great, but it's cold out, so put on more layers."
"Okay..." Leia thought that she would stop her.
Thus, she picked up a scarf and walked out of the house.
When she reached the door, the maid looked at her and asked in confusion, "Ms. Leia, are you goingout?"
"No, I'm waiting for someone." Leia stared at the road with a gloomy face.
This district was full of mansions, but their neighborhood was different from the other neighborhoods.The mansions here were self-built in the early days, so there was no security system here like in theother neighborhoods.
Therefore, anyone could walk around here.
