"Are you here to wait for Ms. Craw too?" the maid smiled and said. She glanced at the time and presumed that
Luca should be arriving soon.
Leia did not respond to her and just stomped her feet on the side. She then took out her phone and called Mandy,
"I've opened the backdoor. It's covered but not locked. Make sure the men pretend to hurt me when they come in. I
don't want Luke to suspect anything after he sees the surveillance footage."
"Will do," Mandy replied.
"Also, come in only after I send you some numbers. I’ll connect to the surveillance system at home and delete the
footage of me opening the door," Leia said.
She was familiar with doing this sort of thing because of Wayne Blatt.
"You’re asking for so much but okay." Mandy could not help but complain.
Leia lowered her gaze and deleted all of their chats. After that, she glanced at the time before she exhaled hot air
and complained, "Why is she taking so long?"
"It’s a Sunday. There might be a traffic jam on the road." When she saw how impatient Leia was, the maid said, "Ms.
Leia, it's cold outside. You should head in."
"Okay, make sure you keep watch." Leia hurriedly went inside. She had to go make a copy of the surveillance video
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand then fill the gap with the footage of when she was in the back garden.
She would inevitably be exposed to the surveillance camera at the door when she opened it. As such, she had to
take care of it.
She had been sent off to New York once by Luke and did not want to be sent off to America by him again for any
excuse.
Leia crossed the living room and trotted upstairs.
Jack happened to be heading downstairs and frowned with dissatisfaction when he saw her rushing around. "Why
are you in such a hurry?"
"Dad..." Leia was startled. She was scared to face Jack.
She knew that she could no longer be conceited when she found out that he no longer loved her as her father. As
such, she was a little afraid when she saw Jack's serious expression.
"You’re so flustered even at home. What if you bump into someone?!" Jack intended to discipline her.
He came home late last night, so he did not see Leia. He was annoyed when he saw her nervous state, which was
not at all ladylike.
"Sorry, Dad. Luca..." Leia noticed that Jack's expression became even more displeased when she mentioned 'Luca.'
She quickly said, "Ms. Craw is coming, so I'm going to change and head downstairs. I didn't realize that I was
rushing..."
"Be careful. Don't bump into your mother." Jack was not bothered by Leia when he learned that Luca was coming.
He walked downstairs quickly.
Leia looked at him as he walked off. She snorted to herself and returned to her bedroom.
After she closed the door, Leia turned on the computer, connected to the villa's surveillance system, and quickly
modified the surveillance footage of when she went to open the door.
She heard the maid's voice coming from the door just as she was done. "Ms. Leia, Ms. Craw is here. Mr. and Mrs.
asked you to go downstairs."
"Mm, I'm coming." Leia lowered her gaze, picked up her phone, and sent a number to Mandy before she carefully
deleted their chat history.
She had become extra cautious due to what Wayne did to her prior.
After she got everything sorted, Leia walked over to the dresser and put on some lipstick.
'So what if Luke is having an affair with Luca? So what if Jack values Luca? She's about to become someone else's
plaything soon enough.'
Leia smiled. Her lips were covered in bright red lipstick as if smeared with human blood.
She turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the living room, Luca was sitting on the sofa with some hot tea and snacks placed in front of her.
It was as though they were entertaining their most important guests.
Leia lowered her gaze and walked toward them.
Luca noticed Leia coming, glanced at her lipstick, and frowned slightly.
The sallow color on her face did not pair well with the brightly colored lipstick...
Leia could have put on lipstick to make her face look rosier, but it was superfluous and made her a little ugly.
"Leia, come, sit here." Queenie saw Leia approaching and was taken aback when she noticed Leia's bright red lips.
She quickly returned to normal and asked Leia to sit next to her.
The seat was near Luca and was reserved for Leia on purpose.
Leia walked over and sat down. As Queenie and Jack were watching, she had no choice but to say hello to Luca,
"Ms. Craw, thank you for agreeing to heal my body. To be honest, I was surprised."
"Nothing to worry about." Luca did not ask her what she was surprised about but instead motioned for her to roll up
her sleeves. "I'll check your pulse. Also, I need the results of the last few tests as well as the doctor's order."
"Okay, I'll go get it." Queenie knew she needed these documents, so she stood up to get them. She took them with
her when she brought Leia home yesterday.
Leia rolled up her sleeves to allow Luca to check her pulse.
Luca put her fingers on Leia's pulse.
