"The evidence is solid, with audio recordings and bank transfer records. If the Norman
family doesn't intervene this time, Leia will end up in prison." Even though Luke did not
like to get involved in Leia's affairs, Jason would still give him updates.
Moreover, Jack had mentioned it to him several times. Luke already knew everything quite
well even though he did not intend to know about it.
That was why he had an idea of how many years Leia would be sentenced to.
The court might consider Leia's family background and reduce her punishment, but she
would still have to go to prison.
Even though Jack and Queenie doted on Leia back then, Jack would not help her anymore.
Whatever Leia had done in the past and whatever mistakes she had made, she would
ultimately face the legal consequences for them.
Imprisonment might change Leia, but it could also make her worse.
Luke could not be bothered by how Leia would turn out after spending a few years in
prison. He would not be afraid of her even if she became worse.
Bad people deserved to be punished.
"Oh, by the way, did you send someone to shoot a video of Ms. Poplar today?" Luca
suddenly asked. She initially planned to go to the hospital and record Sarah's condition for
Marcos, but Amur's situation disrupted her schedule.
She had no idea if Luke had taken care of this.
"I already had a nurse record a video of her. Don't worry," answered Luke.
If it were not for him, Luca would not have to be so busy.
Luca had to go to the hospital to take care of Wanda and Sarah every day after work.
Luca let out a sigh of relief. Indeed, Luke valued his friendship with Marcos. Otherwise,
why would he send someone to do this when she was too busy to do it herself?
"Luca, is that all that's on your mind?" Luke suddenly asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven though he intentionally gave her a call, it was only because he missed her. It was not
because he wanted her to know that he had taken care of these things.
"Huh?" Luca expressed her confusion. However, a certain possibility came across her
mind, and her cheeks suddenly felt hot.
"Do you miss me?" Luke suddenly asked.
Luca's cheeks grew even hotter as she buried herself in the blanket. She recalled how
Luke would hold her in his arms before they fell asleep every night.
That was the reason she could not sleep tonight.
Luke was not by her side, and this bed did not carry his scent.
"I do." Luca's voice slightly trembled, but it also warmed Luke's heart.
Luca missed him.
"I miss you too." Even though he was at the hospital, Luke did not hesitate to express how
much he missed Luca.
Previously, no matter how busy he was with work, his heart was at ease when he knew
that Luca was sleeping in the bedroom opposite him. It gave him more motivation to
handle his work.
However, Luke had lost that peace of mind even though he knew Luca was in X City now.
There was no way Luke could live without Luca throughout this lifetime.
As he was lost in his thoughts, he heard a soft 'mhm' coming from the other end of the
phone.
Luke tightened his grip on his phone. He did not want to be separated from Luca again. It
was time for him to start eliminating the forces and individuals who tried to tear them
apart as a couple.
"Luke.” Jack's voice came from behind.
Luca also heard Jack's voice and recognized it. She hesitated for a moment, wondering if
Jack had heard what Luke had just said about missing her.
She reckoned that Jack was not the type to eavesdrop on others' conversations. Assuming
that Jack had not heard anything, Luca said, "Go ahead and handle your matters first. I'm
going to bed."
"Okay." Luke hung up the call and turned around to face Jack. "Dad."
Jack nodded. Luca thought Jack did not overhear the part where Luke expressed his
thoughts for her, but he did hear it, and he knew that Luke would only say such
affectionate words to Luca.
Even though he knew, Jack asked, "Were you talking to Luca just now?"
"Yes. She's in X City now." Luke nodded, admitting it.
Luca was Jack's daughter, and she was also Luke's wife. Luke missed his wife and called
her to express his affection. There was no need to deny it in front of his father-in-law.
"X City? Why is she in City X?" asked Jack in surprise.
"Something happened to her younger brother. That's why she went to X City to deal with
it. It's been taken care of, and she'll be back tomorrow," explained Luke.
Now that Jack knew Luca's true identity as Bianca, he understood the other matters as
well.
Luca now had a younger brother on paper, a man from Russia who was likely part of the
same organization as Luca.
Jack initially thought that this so-called brother was monitoring Luca's actions in A City,
but Luke had mentioned that it might not be the case.
After all, Amur had been protecting Luca all along.
Hence, while Jack did not hate this brother who showed up out of nowhere, he did not like
him either.
He believed that Amur might not necessarily be protecting Luca.
However, he had not harmed Luca so far.
"They sure know how to cause trouble," commented Jack. Even though Luke did not
specify what Amur had done, Jack felt that it could not be anything good.

Luke did not deny it because Amur had indeed caused quite a bit of trouble this time.
When Luca suggested going to X City to handle Amur's situation, Luke inquired about the
situation in X City.
He learned that the two men from the Island of Despair had died of food poisoning.
Although it was food poisoning, the police had no leads and did not have grounds to
suspect Amur.
Still, Luke knew that Amur was behind it.
Even though he was protecting Luca, he was carrying out the tasks assigned by the Island
of Despair at the same time.
Amur had no choice but to choose to carry them out. Although he was forced to do so, he
was ruthless and merciless like the others from the Island of Despair.
When Luke saw his information, he wondered who was behind the Island of Despair and
how they could be so ruthless toward people who were no longer useful to them.
However, Luke only briefly pondered on it.
When it came to someone who would betray him at any moment, not to mention someone
from the Island of Despair, Luke would not show any mercy either.
He would not let that person dig a pit for him.
"Dad, is there something you need?" Luke changed the subject. It was better for Jack, as a
politician, not to know too much about the Island of Despair.
If their base was indeed on Russian territorial waters, he would need to cooperate with the
Russian government and the police again to eliminate them.
It had nothing to do with the political forces in A City.
"Your mother-in-law would like to speak with you." Jack remembered that his wife had
asked him to find Luke.
"Alright." Luke nodded and started to walk toward the custodial ward.
Jack walked alongside him and reminded him, "She's probably going to talk about Leia's
situation. Don't go along with her intentions no matter what she says. Leia must go to
prison this time."
