Some Things Could Not Be Ignored
The butler shook his head as the thought of Karen's expression gave him a bad feeling.
Upstairs, Karen picked up the phone and dialed the number of a private investigator. After
a while, he picked up.
“Madam Mallory." The private investigator's voice could be heard from the other end of
the phone.
Karen wanted to get straight to the point, so she asked, "Have you found Luca's other
lover?"
When Myra mentioned that Luca had another man, she asked a private investigator to
look into it. Although it had not even been two days, she could not help asking because of
her anger.
She could not wait any longer. She had to act immediately and cause trouble for Luke.
That way, he would not bother Pierre anymore.
The private investigator was taken aback and said resignedly, "I've been following Luca for
the past two days, but there's nothing unusual about her whereabouts. I haven't
discovered anything new."
Luca's schedule for the past two days basically consisted of her commute to and from
work, going to the hospital, and then going home again.
Plus, she returned to the neighborhood where Luke's mansion was.
Even if Luca had another man, she would not be foolish enough to live with him in the
same neighborhood as Luke, so he did not bother trying to get inside the neighborhood.
Instead, he lurked outside of the neighborhood until early morning before leaving.
That was all. He did not find anything new.
If Karen had not been so sure that Luca had another man, the private investigator would
have suspected that the information was false.
However, since someone was paying him to work, no matter if it was true or false, he still
had to follow and report everything he saw to Karen.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"And you didn't slack off?" Karen asked, unconvinced that Luca could endure not seeing
the other man for two days.
She believed Myra.
"I really didn't. If you don't believe me, I can take photos and videos every day and send
them to you. Luca's schedule is the same every day, and only her clothes are different. My
videos are proof," the private investigator quickly explained. After accepting Karen's
money, he dared not slack off. Besides, if he offended her, he may no longer be able to
stay in A City.
"Madam Mallory, I've accepted your payment, so I'll definitely take care of everything for
you." Karen squinted her eyes and looked out the dark window as she thought to herself.
There was no way the private investigator would trick her.
Luca was too sly!
However, she could understand why. If a man like Luke found out that he had been
cheated on, Luca would be finished.
Luca must be very cautious, so it was only normal for the private investigator to not notice
anything for now.
Karen clicked her tongue irritably. “Fine. Continue following her. You must find that man for
me."
After hanging up, Karen created a new group chat and added Myra and Margaret.
She tapped on the group video call button.
After a while, Myra and Margaret answered the call.
"Mrs. Mallory, did the private investigator find something?" Myra looked excited as she
believed what she saw. As long as the private investigator kept an eye on Luca, he'd
definitely be able to find evidence that she was unfaithful.
"No, that bitch has been careful and sly, but I've decided to tell the reporters the news
first and let them report it." Karen's face looked sullen. This news was completely different
from the expectations of the other two, who were excited thinking Karen had good news to
share.
Myra frowned. "You want to tell the reporters now? I thought..."
Karen interrupted, "I can't wait any longer. It must be in the headlines tomorrow. That's
the only way Pierre can be saved."
Myra and Margaret did not say a thing. They had also read the news and found out that
Pierre had been arrested.
Karen noticed their silence and said, "It may be my son now, but it won't be long before
it's your turn. The Hudson family's business is going downhill, and you'll have to go to
court soon. Although the party suing you won't be able to fine you much, everyone knows
that you've offended the Crawford family. The Hudson family's situation is only getting
worse, and you."
She paused and pointed at Margaret before saying, "Jackman Corporation isn't doing well
now either, right? Your husband's project is losing money. If Luke goes down, then T
Corporation goes down. Perhaps they'll have another company produce the blueprints.
Since everyone's in a difficult position right now, why wait?"
Karen's words managed to persuade Myra and Margaret. "Fine, we'll send the information
to the reporters now."
They were familiar with some reporters of the tabloid press, and gossip like this was
perfect for these entertainment news reporters.
Compared to some bigger newspapers, they were more inclined to report juicy gossip like
these. Even if the parties involved issued a lawyer's letter or warning letter, they would
not be at a loss.
Thus, they would not be afraid of offending the mighty Luke either.
After hanging up, Karen smiled sinisterly.
It seemed like Luke had not been involved in a scandal for a long time. The public had
even labeled him as dedicated and affectionate.
The rage in Karen's eyes became even more violent. She wanted revenge! She wanted
everyone who hurt Pierre to fall beyond redemption.
No one else in the Mallory family knew what Karen did, and neither did the people

The next day, Luca was woken up by the sound of her phone's vibrations.
She frowned as she opened her eyes slowly. After adjusting her eyes to the light in the
room, she realized that a phone was vibrating...
Luca picked up her phone to see who had sent her so many messages early in the
morning.
After glancing at her phone, she noticed that there were no messages. Only then did she
realize that it was Luke's phone.
Luke and her were busy intertwining themselves together last night, so they got up late.
Instead of looking through Luke's phone, she gently nudged him. "Luke.."
Luke did not open his eyes. Instead, he put his arms around her and pulled her into an
embrace. Her soft body pressed against his as he refused to open his eyes and end this
sweet dream.
"Your phone has rung many times." Luca blushed as she heard his strong heartbeat while
pressed up against his chest.
After saying that, the phone rang again on the bedside table.
"Just ignore it." Luke's voice was deep and hoarse.
There were not any urgent matters at the company recently, so it did not matter if he
replied a few minutes late.
Luca listened to the phone that was still vibrating and looked up at him. Overnight, stubble
started to appear on his chin, which she could not resist touching. It felt prickly on her
hands.
Before she could withdraw her hands, Luke grabbed her hands and opened his eyes as he
looked at her.
"Get up. It seems like you have some urgent matters to tend to," said Luca while blushing
as if she had done something bad and was caught by him.
Luke rarely sighed, but he wanted to continue holding Luca.
He opened his eyes. Some things could not be ignored.
Luke let go of her hand and picked up the phone on the bedside table. A series of
messages bombarded his lock screen.
He frowned and opened the message from Jason first.
