Luke immediately came forward and stood in front of Luca with a concerned expression on his face. He did not
expect Ambrose to make such a move, nor did he expect that the security guards would remain rooted on the spot
instead of stopping Ambrose.
"Are you hurt?" Luke's expression was gloomy, but it was obvious that he cared for Luca.
Luca shook her head. Her heart slightly pounded. Fortunately, she was quick enough. Otherwise, Rhett and she
would have been hurt.
As Luca stared at the burnt and corroded carpet on the ground, she realized that even Shanks would not have been
able to save her from disfigurement if the acid was splashed on her. It would have been even worse if it had gotten
into her throat or esophagus.
Luca's heart could not help but increase. "I didn't get any on me."
"Leave it to me." Luke turned around and looked at Ambrose and the stunned onlookers with a grim expression on
his face. "Why are you still standing there? Get him."
Rhett was the first to step forward and fight with Ambrose.
The security guards immediately rushed toward them, helping Rhett to get Ambrose under control when they
realized things had gotten serious.
Ambrose was outnumbered. It only took a while for him to be overpowered by them.

who was behind him. "Luca, you b*tch! I'll kill you even if I can't do it now. It's not like you'll always be safe just
because Luke Crawford is protecting you."
"Call the police and get him out of here." Luke could not be bothered to talk to him.
Those who intended to harm Luca would eventually come to no good, just like Matysh, Leia, and now Ambrose.
"Yes, Sir." Rhett took out his phone and called the police.
Ambrose listened to Rhett's conversation with the police and glared at him menacingly. "Rhett, you made me lose
my job. I'll make sure you'll never have it easy either."
Rhett was secretly terrified. He did not expect Ambrose to do something like this to get back at him and Luca.
If it were not for Luca, who immediately pushed him away, he would have been splashed too.
After telling the police where they were, Rhett saw the hotel manager hurrying toward them.
The hotel manager glanced at Ambrose, who was being held by a few men. The expression on his face changed.
He recognized him as the person they had hired a few days ago through a referral to work as a waiter.
The manager immediately approached Luke and asked, "Mr. Crawford, I'm sorry about what happened. I'll give you
an explanation."
Luke gave the manager a cold stare and reminded him, "No one stopped him just now."
The manager turned to look at the security guards. He made eye contact with them, signaling and asking why they
had not intervened.
The guards had been there all along. If Ambrose made a scene, they should have stepped forward to stop him in
the first instance. "I'll look into this and find out what happened," the manager promised.
"Hand Ambrose over to the police. I'd like to know the reason why he was released and why the security guards did
nothing. Watsons will hold the hotel accountable for this if you don't figure out why." Luke expressed his thoughts
clearly.
If the hotel failed to give him an explanation, they would certainly be held accountable for the incident.
"Yes, Sir." The manager was shocked. He never thought that hiring a waiter could lead to such an incident. He
walked toward the security guards and urged them, "Get him out of here and wait for the police."
"Yes, Manager." The two security guards escorted Ambrose from the dining hall.
Ambrose turned his head and glowered at Luca and others when he was being forced to leave the hall.
Dr. Linwood noticed Ambrose's expression. He could not help but mutter, "Why is he so resentful?"
"The look on his face is terrifying," added another professor. Ambrose made a mistake. He was fired as a matter of
course.
Even though Luca fired him, she gave him his bonus, and she did not report the incident to the police. She tried not
to make a big deal out of it. However, Ambrose still held a grudge against her and sought revenge, which was really
frightening...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Ambrose left, Luca came to the researcher who was splashed with strong acid. She looked at the wound on
his hand. Several drops of acid were splashed on him. The clothes on one of his arms were corroded. The skin that
was exposed to the air had turned red and bubbly, and the burned skin was wrinkled.
As Luca looked at the painful expression on the researcher's face, Luca said to Rhett, "Call the ambulance."
"Alright." Rhett immediately made the call.
Luca walked to the table nearby and grabbed all the tissue papers. Then, she walked toward the researcher and
said, "Hang in there. I'll use this to absorb the acid on the surface of your skin first."
The skin that was burned by strong acid could not be rinsed with water. Luca had no choice but to quickly use
tissues and carefully wipe the burned skin as gently as she could.
Luca was being careful as she did not want to make it more painful for the researcher. Also, she did not want to
break the skin either.
However, the researcher furrowed his brows. He could not help but wince in pain and groan. "Ah!"
Luca heard him groan, and she could not help but feel guilty.
She knew that Ambrose targeted her and Rhett when he threw the acid at them. It was an accident in which
someone else got injured.
Luca dodged, but she caused someone else to get hurt.
