"Now you know why I asked you to do this, huh?" Rain rose to her feet with a smile on her face and patted Gale on
the shoulder.
It was originally her job, but Leia disgusted her so much that she entrusted Gale with the task instead.
Rain was in charge of some other matters.
Gale shook his head and went upstairs, resigning himself to continue investigating Leia.
They followed Luke's instructions. They had to compile a list of all the bad things Leia had done and show them to
Queenie.
Luke and Jack both believed that Queenie should not be soft-hearted toward Leia. It was the best way for her to get
to know the real Leia.
"Ask your subordinates to do it for you if you find it too disgusting," added Rain.
"I'll do it when I can't take it anymore." Gale walked up to the second floor and continued with his work.
Rain returned to the third floor to continue work too.

The next day.
It was Saturday. Luca woke up later than usual.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe opened her eyes and habitually looked beside her, but Luke had already gotten up.
Luca was surprised. When did he get up? How did she not notice?
She got up and listened carefully. There was no sound coming from the bathroom. When she was about to get out
of bed to wash up, her phone, which was on the bedside table, rang.
Luca answered the call.
"Luca, are you okay?" Nina's voice that came from the other end of the line sounded deeply concerned. She stayed
up late last night, and while she was scrolling through news pages, she saw a viral video on the internet.
Nina clicked the link and found someone maliciously splashing sulfuric acid on the other person in public.
Nina immediately recognized that the person who got attacked was Luca. She wanted to call to check on her.
However, Percy stopped her, claiming that Luca seemed fine in the video and she was probably resting at this time.
He advised her not to call at this time.
Nina thought it made sense and watched the video again. Luca seemed to be unharmed. Thus, she waited until this
morning and assumed that Luca had woken up by now before quickly giving Luca a call.
"I'm fine." Luca got out of bed, put on her slippers, and drew the curtains.
The weather was great.
Luca opened the window. A warm breeze blew across her face. The weather in A City was starting to warm up.
Her heart grew warmer and warmer too.
"I'm glad that you're okay. You were fast enough." Nina let out a sigh of relief. She had been on pins and needles
after she saw the video last night.
After she confirmed that Luca was really okay, she set her worries aside.
"How did you know about this?" Luca asked with curiosity. Luke probably did not tell Percy about this.
"Someone filmed a video and uploaded it to the forum. I recognized you at first glance when I saw the person
trying to splash the sulfuric acid on you," answered Nina.
"It was probably one of the employees working at Watsons who filmed it," murmured Luca as she rubbed her
temples. Luke and she rushed to the hospital with the researcher to treat his wound last night. They were not there
to deal with the situation.
She did not expect one of the employees would take out their phone and start filming...
"You're fine. That's all that matters," Nina chuckled. "I'm not keeping you. I'm going to a party with Percy later, and I
need to prepare some gifts."
"Okay. Go ahead," Luca replied before ending the call. Then, she walked into the bathroom to freshen up before
changing into casual home clothes.
As she opened her bedroom door, she noticed that the opposite room door was open. Luke was sitting in front of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhis computer, busy working.
"You're awake." Luke shifted his gaze when he heard footsteps and saw her. His eyes softened with affection.
"Yes. Do you need me to get your breakfast up here?" Luca asked as she noticed the pile of documents on his desk.
He did not bring that much with him back home last night.
"Sure. Let me finish these. We'll be heading to Louis' place for lunch," replied Luke. Today was the day Louis moved.
"Okay. I'll check on the kids first." After that, Luca gently pushed open Tommy's bedroom door. The kids were still
asleep.
It was Saturday. They had agreed to let the kids sleep an hour longer than usual.
Luca then opened Rainie's and Lanie's bedroom doors. They were not up yet.
Hence, she turned around and headed downstairs.
After she arrived on the first floor, she saw Aunt Neile cleaning the living room.
"Good morning, Ms. Craw," Aunt Neile greeted her with a smile when she saw Luca come downstairs.
"Good morning, Aunt Neile." Luca nodded and walked toward the store room.
"What are you looking for?" Aunt Neile asked with curiosity.
"I bought some gifts to congratulate Louis on moving to his new home. I plan to take them out. Mr. Crawford will
send them over at noon," explained Luca. Even though Louis also invited her, Luca was reluctant to go.
