"I believe you have the capability. It's just hard for me to think about the hardships you've
endured." Wanda wiped away the tears that could not be held back.
These tears carried not only empathy but also a sense of relief and joy.
Fortunately, after everything Luca had gone through, she managed to return to their side.
Even though the crisis had not been resolved yet, at least they now knew why Luca had
refused to acknowledge them.
Wanda believed that Luke had the ability to protect Luca. That was why she believed that
once Luke figured out the situation, he could help resolve it.
"It's okay. It's all in the past. You must take good care of yourself. When we bring Nyla
back, you'll have to help me out and teach her some handmade crafts,” said Luca with a
smile on her face.
Despite being a girl, Nyla, influenced by the environment of the Island of Despair, was not
as soft as Rainie. She was not interested in such things.
She was interested in various firearms and weapons at a young age.
Luca had tried to correct her, but growing up in that environment, Nyla turned out to be
mischievous and strong. She did not know what fear was like in many situations and with
many people. She was like a little boy.
Luca did not have time to be with the child now, so she had to rely on Eler to take care of
Nyla.
When they reunited as a family, they could slowly influence Nyla and help her become a
carefree and happy girl rather than a tomboy.
"Alright, I'll take care of myself and wait for you to bring Nyla back," replied Wanda, wiping
away another tear.
Luca had suffered enough in her life. Wanda hoped the future Luca could live an easier
life.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuca spent a good while chatting with Wanda. After seeing pictures of Nyla and noticing
the sky turning dark, Wanda urged the two of them to head back.
Luca had already let Warren get off work early, so she got into Luke's car when they left.
Luca sat in the front passenger seat, took out a flattened hat from her briefcase, and put it
on. Then, she wore a mask.
Luke said helplessly, "The reporters in the city aren't paying attention to us at the
moment. You don't need to be so cautious."
The newspaper company under T Corporation reported on the rumors of two celebrities
again. The reporters were busy with these explosive stories. No one would divert their
attention back to Luca and Luke.
Moreover, gossip about celebrities had more value than that of businessmen.
"Better safe than sorry," replied Luca, lowering the brim of her hat to ensure she would
not be captured by the reporters.
Luke was rendered speechless when he saw her like this, but he did not stop her. He drove
directly back home.
Luca sat in the front passenger seat. Her heart remained a swirling mix of emotions when
she thought about what had just happened.
"What should we do next?" Having confessed everything to Luke, Luca knew it was time to
take action.
Being entangled by Abel was not a pleasant feeling for her.
"I need to know what the leader of the Island of Despair looks like," said Luke. There was
an old saying that went, 'Cut off the head of the snake'. He needed to find out who the
real mastermind of the Island of Despair was to eliminate it in one fell swoop.
Luca was startled for a moment, then she remembered how cunning Abel was. It was
normal for Luke not to find anything. She reminded him, "You've met him before."
Abel had many faces. He rarely showed his true face when he was outside. It all depended
on the disguise cream made by Shanks.
Abel could easily change his appearance and create a new identity using the cream.
From what Luca understood, Abel relied on his disguises and having multiple passports.
Each passport had a different photo and identity.
He was like a sly fox with more than one hole. Abel used these various identities and
appearances to maneuver in different places, gaining many benefits and connections.
However, there was only one identity Abel did not disguise—the owner of the
pharmaceutical company.
As a well-known foreign businessman in A City, many people wanted to collaborate with
Abel, but not everyone got the chance to meet him in person.
Among the few who had met him, Luke was one of them.
Luca said Luke met him before. Then, it must have been an occasion that they attended
together. The gathering would not have been too crowded, or else he would not have left
an impression on everyone.
Moreover, the person must have ethnic facial features. It was because the information
provided by Gale, Rain, and Ray suggested that the leader of the Island of Despair must
be a foreigner.
Even if he was good at disguising himself, a foreigner could not easily disguise himself into
someone with different facial features.
"Him? The CEO of a pharmaceutical company established by foreigners?" Luke quickly
recalled. A face came across his mind, and he shot a glance at Luca.
Luca nodded. "Yes, that's him. He's adept at disguises, but he used his true appearance
when he met you."
There was a rare moment of frustration for Luke.
Luca had always been the woman he loved the most, but before the kids did the DNA test,
he did not think much about it. His interest in Luca was merely a result of his long
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmabstinence from women.
He never thought that her true identity was Bianca, nor did he realize that the desire in his
body was his soul's yearning for her.
When he first met Abel, he felt the other party was extraordinary. It was possible that he
had other identities, but Luke never considered that the person deliberately approached
him because he was the mastermind of the Island of Despair.
Luca added, "I only know his name is Abel. He was deeply in love with Kassy. But Kassy
only wanted you, so..."
She paused for a moment. Kassy attempted to harm her and her child back then just
because she could not get Luke.
Fortunately, the assassin she hired had a conscience. Otherwise, she might have turned
crazy...
"Got it." Luke still remembered Kassy. He could not have forgotten such a crazy woman.
It was because of Kassy that he realized how poorly he had protected Bianca at that time.
"Dr. Albus' incident was also part of Abel's revenge plan. I found out that Kassy kidnapped
me and my child when she was taking revenge against you. Those potions were cooked up
by Dr. Albus back then.
"They were too nasty for human consumption. That's why they got trashed and never hit
the market. But the black market scooped them up. So, Abel had a score to settle with Dr.
Albus too," Luca continued.
Luca could not share everything during their journey back, but she tried to tell Luke
everything she knew.
"Abel's primary objective in re-establishing the Island of Despair is to seek revenge
against you. I'm the most crucial pawn in his retaliation plan. I didn't speak up all this
while, fearing he might do something too extreme that could harm Nyla."
Luca spoke as she continued to share all the information she knew.
In the end, she asked, "How did you find out that I'm Bianca?"
"It was the kids who found out about it." Luke shared with her the story of the kids'
suspicion arising from their unusually close connection with her. Drawing on past
experiences, he explained how the kids secretly took her hair sample for a DNA test.
