Chapter 3292 Has He Lost His Mind? Nina looked at Luca with a serious expression. Sometimes, she felt like Luca had known her forever.
How did Luca know her so well? *Luca, have you been secretly investigating me?" "No, I haven't." Luca was surprised. "What makes you say that?" "You knowso well. It's shocking!" replied Nina. "Sometimes I really wonder if you can read my mind. How else could you knowso well?" "Is that so? Do I know you well?" Luca smiled. "Even if I did investigate you, I wouldn't be able to do it so thoroughly. I just feel like you're that kind of person." Nina nodded. "Yeah, things have definitely changed after getting married." Luca listened to her without saying anything.
*To be precise, after the wedding, I've been feeling like I need to work harder to stand by Percy's side and not be a burden to him. The old, go-with-the-flowis gone." "Working hard isn't necessarily a bad thing," replied Luca. It was not that Nina's old way of life was bad. Everyone would choose different ways to live at different stages of life.
Nina changing her lifestyle now showed how much she cared about her marriage with Percy.
"Yes, even though it's a lot of pressure, I'll do my best to be a good Mrs. Mallory," Nina said cheerfully.
She did not know why, but she felt like Luca was like a life mentor to her.
Every word she said was full of wisdom and seemed to resonate with her mindset.
Luca's words always seemed to soothe her inner restlessness.
After Luke and Percy left, they soon returned.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuca noticed a change in their expressions and asked instinctively, "Why do you both look like that? What happened?" *Nina's..." Luke frowned and thought for a moment. Although they had blood ties, their family relationship had long been severed. Thus, he said, "Anna and Jean are coming." Nina was surprised and asked, "How do they know we're at Crawford Manor?" *Jean gained a lot of shady connections when he was running his business," explained Percy.
He figured those people probably told Jean.
"Damn it! Nina cursed. "They just won't quit!" Luca frowned. Jean and Anna would do anything for money.
Percy added, "He's also called a few thugs to cover here." "What is he trying to do?!" Nina shot up angrily. "When will it ever end?" "Nina, don't get upset," Luca tried to calm her.
*Do they have any shame?" Nina was extremely annoyed. It made sense why she was feeling that way earlier. Perhaps she had sensed trouble ahead. She said, "Percy, let's go back. We shouldn't cause any more trouble for the Crawford family." It would be better to handle this kind of thing at hto avoid causing trouble for the Crawford family if Jean cover.
"It's too late," replied Percy. "The security guard notified us as soon as he knew they were coming. Jean even mentioned that he wanted to make trouble for Luke, so he's already on his way here. Even if we leave, they might not leave right away." Nina frowned. Jean not only wanted to cause trouble for her but also for Luke? *Has he lost his mind? How can he still dare to cause trouble?" Nina paced back and forth, her frustration evident. If she were not wearing a dress today, she would probably be in a full-blown rage.
"Causing trouble is fine," said Luke when he saw how frustrated Nina was. "As long as you don't let your emotions get the best of you, he won't be able to cause much trouble." *I won't let this happen. The moment they chose money over me, I was done with them." Nina's gaze darkened. Luca put a comforting arm around her shoulders.
Even though Nina said she would not let her emotions get the best of her, as a friend, Luca knew how much she valued family ties.
She only becthis way because she was pushed into it.
Nina gave Luca a grateful look and then turned to Percy. "What are you planning to do?" "You'll find out soon," replied Percy. "I'm not keeping anything from you this tbecause I know you don't wantto. We're married now, and I'll handle everything with you." "Percy." Nina's eyes started welling up with emotion.
Luca let her go, and Nina walked over to Percy and hugged him.
She did not need Percy to protect her and solve her every problem; she just wanted to face their issues together. Luca cleared her throat and asked Luke, "Should we call the police or alert the bodyguards?" Even though they could handle the situation themselves, facing several thugs might be an issue.
"We've already notified the bodyguards," answered Luke. Even though the bodyguards might not be as skilled, they could easily handle Jean and his lowlife thugs.
Luca nodded calmly, showing no concern for what was about to happen. Then, she said, "It's getting a bit warm. Let's move inside instead of staying in the garden." "Okay." The group headed back to the living room.
Old Master Crawford and Susan had gone upstairs to take a nap, and Yuri was upstairs with Thea. Louis was alone in the living room.
When they walked in, Louis greeted them cheerfully and continued to reply to messages from business partners on his phone.
They continued chatting in the living room while they waited.
About ten minutes later, the doorbell rang.
Louis frowned and asked, "Who could it be at this time?" "Unwelcguests," replied Luke.
Louis looked even more puzzled. "What?" Mr. Griffin cover and said in a low voice, "Master Luke, there's a group of thugs at the gates." Louis asked, "Luke, did you know trouble was coming?" Percy chimed in, "Actually, they're here to cause trouble forand Nina. Sorry about that." Louis quickly asked, "Do you need any help?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Don't worry, we've got it handled." Luke was not concerned about the intrudersland's stood up with Percy.
Luca and Nina exchanged a glance and rose to their feet together.
Louis also got up and followed them to the door to see who was causing trouble.
Outside, Jean and Anna were at the front gates, with several rough-looking men behind them.
*Boys, as long as I manage to get the money, I won't forget any of you when I hit it big," said Jean.
*Jean, we'll be counting on you," one of the thugs replied They all knew Jean's sister was married to Percy.
