Chapter 2921
Some Things Could Not Be Ignored
The butler shook his head as the thought of Karen's expression gave him a bad feeling.
Upstairs, Karen picked up the phone and dialed the number of a private investigator. After a while, hepicked up.
“Madam Mallory." The private investigator's voice could be heard from the other end of the phone.
Karen wanted to get straight to the point, so she asked, "Have you found Luca's other lover?"
When Myra mentioned that Luca had another man, she asked a private investigator to look into it.Although it had not even been two days, she could not help asking because of her anger.
She could not wait any longer. She had to act immediately and cause trouble for Luke. That way, hewould not bother Pierre anymore.
The private investigator was taken aback and said resignedly, "I've been following Luca for the past twodays, but there's nothing unusual about her whereabouts. I haven't discovered anything new."
Luca's schedule for the past two days basically consisted of her commute to and from work, going tothe hospital, and then going home again.
Plus, she returned to the neighborhood where Luke's mansion was.
Even if Luca had another man, she would not be foolish enough to live with him in the sameneighborhood as Luke, so he did not bother trying to get inside the neighborhood. Instead, he lurkedoutside of the neighborhood until early morning before leaving.
That was all. He did not find anything new.
If Karen had not been so sure that Luca had another man, the private investigator would havesuspected that the information was false.
However, since someone was paying him to work, no matter if it was true or false, he still had to followand report everything he saw to Karen.
"And you didn't slack off?" Karen asked, unconvinced that Luca could endure not seeing the other manfor two days.
She believed Myra.
"I really didn't. If you don't believe me, I can take photos and videos every day and send them to you.Luca's schedule is the same every day, and only her clothes are different. My videos are proof," theprivate investigator quickly explained. After accepting Karen's money, he dared not slack off. Besides, ifhe offended her, he may no longer be able to stay in A City.
"Madam Mallory, I've accepted your payment, so I'll definitely take care of everything for you." Karensquinted her eyes and looked out the dark window as she thought to herself. There was no way theprivate investigator would trick her.
Luca was too sly!
However, she could understand why. If a man like Luke found out that he had been cheated on, Lucawould be finished.
Luca must be very cautious, so it was only normal for the private investigator to not notice anything fornow.
Karen clicked her tongue irritably. “Fine. Continue following her. You must find that man for me."
After hanging up, Karen created a new group chat and added Myra and Margaret.novelbin
She tapped on the group video call button.
After a while, Myra and Margaret answered the call.
"Mrs. Mallory, did the private investigator find something?" Myra looked excited as she believed whatshe saw. As long as the private investigator kept an eye on Luca, he'd definitely be able to findevidence that she was unfaithful.
"No, that bitch has been careful and sly, but I've decided to tell the reporters the news first and let themreport it." Karen's face looked sullen. This news was completely different from the expectations of theother two, who were excited thinking Karen had good news to share.
Myra frowned. "You want to tell the reporters now? I thought..."
Karen interrupted, "I can't wait any longer. It must be in the headlines tomorrow. That's the only wayPierre can be saved."
Myra and Margaret did not say a thing. They had also read the news and found out that Pierre hadbeen arrested.
Karen noticed their silence and said, "It may be my son now, but it won't be long before it's your turn.The Hudson family's business is going downhill, and you'll have to go to court soon. Although the partysuing you won't be able to fine you much, everyone knows that you've offended the Crawford family.The Hudson family's situation is only getting worse, and you."
She paused and pointed at Margaret before saying, "Jackman Corporation isn't doing well now either,right? Your husband's project is losing money. If Luke goes down, then T Corporation goes down.Perhaps they'll have another company produce the blueprints. Since everyone's in a difficult positionright now, why wait?"
Karen's words managed to persuade Myra and Margaret. "Fine, we'll send the information to thereporters now."
They were familiar with some reporters of the tabloid press, and gossip like this was perfect for theseentertainment news reporters.
Compared to some bigger newspapers, they were more inclined to report juicy gossip like these. Evenif the parties involved issued a lawyer's letter or warning letter, they would not be at a loss.
Thus, they would not be afraid of offending the mighty Luke either.
After hanging up, Karen smiled sinisterly.
It seemed like Luke had not been involved in a scandal for a long time. The public had even labeledhim as dedicated and affectionate.
The rage in Karen's eyes became even more violent. She wanted revenge! She wanted everyone whohurt Pierre to fall beyond redemption.
No one else in the Mallory family knew what Karen did, and neither did the people involved—Luke andLuca.
The next day, Luca was woken up by the sound of her phone's vibrations.
She frowned as she opened her eyes slowly. After adjusting her eyes to the light in the room, sherealized that a phone was vibrating...
Luca picked up her phone to see who had sent her so many messages early in the morning.
After glancing at her phone, she noticed that there were no messages. Only then did she realize that itwas Luke's phone.
Luke and her were busy intertwining themselves together last night, so they got up late.
Instead of looking through Luke's phone, she gently nudged him. "Luke.."
Luke did not open his eyes. Instead, he put his arms around her and pulled her into an embrace. Hersoft body pressed against his as he refused to open his eyes and end this sweet dream.
"Your phone has rung many times." Luca blushed as she heard his strong heartbeat while pressed upagainst his chest.
After saying that, the phone rang again on the bedside table.
"Just ignore it." Luke's voice was deep and hoarse.
There were not any urgent matters at the company recently, so it did not matter if he replied a fewminutes late.
Luca listened to the phone that was still vibrating and looked up at him. Overnight, stubble started toappear on his chin, which she could not resist touching. It felt prickly on her hands.
Before she could withdraw her hands, Luke grabbed her hands and opened his eyes as he looked ather.
"Get up. It seems like you have some urgent matters to tend to," said Luca while blushing as if she haddone something bad and was caught by him.
Luke rarely sighed, but he wanted to continue holding Luca.
He opened his eyes. Some things could not be ignored.
Luke let go of her hand and picked up the phone on the bedside table. A series of messagesbombarded his lock screen.
He frowned and opened the message from Jason first.
