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 recalled what Leia said
earlier. "Leia, you shouldn't say the things you said just now in front of her. You're asking someone 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 to suspect 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. He would 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 Leia talking badly
about Luca.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Enough, stop it. Your father will be mad if he hears this. Besides, Luca is here to help you. She won't have 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 down quietly."
"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 the kitchen. 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 almost here. 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 taking is hard for
us to take action, so we haven't done anything until now," Mandy explained. She wanted to get 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 them after all.
Leia's heart sank at the thought of them hiding their relationship in front of Queenie previously. When he rejected
Leia before, it made her plummet into an abyss, but he was dating a commoner now. That made 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 good chance. 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 did not 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What? Didn't you say we could do it at your house last night and that we should teach your biased parents a good
lesson?" Mandy asked. She had agreed to do so last night, so she mentioned it to Matysh.
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 accident while 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." Mandy glanced 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 the couple. If
investigations found out that she was the one who let them in, she would not be able to stay in A City anymore.
"What are you afraid of? I just need you to open the door slightly. Getting them to open the door themselves 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 front door," 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 avoid the security
cameras in the backyard to unlock the door in order to let them in within five minutes.
