The policeman did not find any contraband after inspecting the trunk of the car, nor were there any problems with
Amur's documents, so he let him go.
Amur then drove away.
After returning to the apartment, he had to make sure that there were no messages from Abel. Then, he thought to
himself that Pierre would have to be locked up for a few days before Abel would make a move.
If he informed the Mallory family too soon, they would not be as anxious, nor would they hand over the money that
easily.
Therefore, Abel had to use Pierre to play against the Mallory family, which meant that he should be free for the
next few days.
Amur lay on the bed while thinking of the advice Luca gave him today before washing up and lying down again.
After not sleeping at all last night, he practically fell into a deep sleep the moment he came in contact with the bed.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Luca kept the two reports in her briefcase before clocking off.
Before she got off work, she told Aunt Neile that she would not be home for dinner. She also told Luke that Amur
had come back from Russia to talk to her about something and that she would head over to his place, so she would
be home late.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuke read the message without saying anything as if the hostility he had toward Amur before had completely
disappeared.
Luca went down to the underground parking lot and asked Warren to drive her to the apartment.
When they got to the nearby supermarket, Luca asked Warren to pull over so she could get some groceries.
Warren was worried that she would not be able to carry everything alone, so he insisted on helping, and Luca let
him.
She had already planned out what to cook for Amur beforehand, so she knew exactly what to buy. The moment she
walked into the supermarket, she pushed the trolley straight to the fresh produce and meat section.
Warren followed right behind her.
Luca took her time picking out the ingredients as she knew that Amur would still be resting right now, so she was
not in a hurry.
Luca was not looking around, so she was not aware that Myra was watching her from a stone's throw away.
When Myra was entering the fresh produce and meat section, she noticed Luca immediately.
The anger in her heart intensified at the same time.
Brigham and Myra were still giving each other the silent treatment because of Luca, and they had argued at least
three times in the past few days. Myra got so angry that she ran back to her parents' place and waited for
Brigham's anger to subside.
“Myra, what are you looking at?" Myra's sister-in-law, Alice, caught her staring with hatred in her eyes, so she
looked over out of curiosity.
There stood a couple picking out some lettuce.
"Who's that woman?" Alice asked when she saw them.
"That woman..." Myra clenched her fists as she wished that she could just go up and slap Luca across the face, but
she did not dare to.
She had Luke backing her up, so if she did go up to her, Brigham's career would be over.
"Is that woman someone Brigham is having an affair with?" Alice misunderstood her because of the disgust in her
eyes.
When one woman hated another woman this much, there could only be one explanation. Thus, Alice thought that
the woman had meddled in Myra's marriage.
Myra did not spill the beans after she came back home this time around. She just said that she got into an
argument with Brigham, so the whole family thought that Brigham had cheated on Myra.
Alice was curious, but she listened to her husband's advice to not stick her nose in.
"No! She has no such relationship with Brigham." Myra shook her head and pulled Alice aside after noticing Luca

"Well, from your expression, it looks as if she's done something to offend you.." Alice was even more curious upon
hearing her words. Could it be that Brigham was pursuing that woman but she did not like him back? Myra found
out, so she started making noise out of jealousy.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt like this was the case.
Besides, Brigham was considered rich in A City, so Myra had been keeping a close eye on the women around him.
The couple had gotten into a lot of arguments because of women.
With a long face, Myra told Alice about Charlie's incident.
After hearing the truth about the couple's argument, Alice glanced at Luca and said, "You're saying that she even
attended the parent-teacher meeting with Luke's son?"
"Yeah, I already apologized to her in front of so many people, yet this woman is still making things difficult for me.
She's the reason Brigham and I fought, and now he wants a divorce. I hate this woman to death!" Myra blamed
Luca for her feud with Brigham.
"Wait a minute, I know Luke. Is this woman related to him or something?" Alice rubbed her chin and sneaked a look
at Luca.
She had to admit that she looked like a pretty decent woman.
“How would I know? My guess is that this woman is his mistress..." Myra expressed her suspicions with a sullen look.
