Luca looked at her expression. It seemed like she was not telling a lie. She then pushed the door open
and said, “Come on in."
Nina walked into her bedroom and looked at the simplistic design. She nodded her head and turned
around to look at Luca. "To be honest, Luca, will I be a nuisance if I stay here for the night?"
"Not at all. Luca opened the closet and took out a brand new pair of pajamas that she had never worn.
"On the contrary, I''ll be reassured if you stay here. I''ve never worn this set of pajamas before. I''ll let you
wear it for tonight, alright?"
Nina epted it and said with a smiling face, "Thanks. But I know that you have a lot on your te. If
not for Percy not being reassured, I would never havee here to bother you. You don''t have to
apany me tonight and just do whatever you need to do. You just need to leave half the bed to
me."
"Alright, since you''ve said so, then I shall continue with my work," said Luca. She sat on the chair in
front of the dressing table and opened herptop.
Nina nodded and said, "I''ll just make myselffortable."
"Of course." Luca turned around and smiled. Her gaze then focused back on the screen as she
resumed working.
Nina suddenly thought of Percy when she saw the serious look on Luca. ''I''m guessing he''s currently
frustrated over Madison''s issue.''
All of them seemed to be very busy except for her.
Nina dared not express her feelings to Luca, but she could not help herself. She wanted to know about
Madison''s condition and her recovery progress.
Theizens were still cursing her on the inte and things were getting worse.
Nina read the harshments theizens left her and thought to herself. ''If they learn that I was the
first to get together with him, will they still curse me?
''They probably will. In their opinions, Madison is the victim...''
Nina continued scrolling down. Looking at the criticisms, she could confirm that Percy had not hired
anyone to suppress the hatements. ''What''s he up to right now?''
Luca felt that Nina was being way too quiet. She turned around to look and saw her sitting on the sofa
while looking at her phone. "Don''t worry. This issue will be over before you even realize it."
Nina lifted her head, and her eyes seemed teary. She would be lying if she said that she was alright.
Madison attempted suicide, and she felt bad about it.
"How do you know that?"
"Because Mr. Mallory is very capable. You shouldn''t bother reading thosements. Perhaps by
tomorrow, there''ll be a drastic shift in public opinion. Even though Mr. Mallory is very capable, you still
got to give him some time to sort it out," Luca said despite having no idea what Percy was up to. Even
at this point, no one had stepped forward to rify things.
However, she believed that Percy would not just give in to the Johnston family''s ns.
Nina could not help but tease, "Are you trying to stand up for him? Say, how much did Percy give you?"
"I''m just trying tofort you. He didn''t give me a penny, but since Iforted you, perhaps you
should be the one paying me instead.” Luca teased back with a smile.
"I have no money, but you can always look for me if you needpany.” Nina waved her hand.
"That''d be great, but Mr. Mallory wouldn''t approve of that," Luca muttered softly. Seeing that Nina''s
mood was much better now, Luca turned around and continued with her work.
Tommy was standing outside of the bedroom, just staring at them.
He heard their conversation and wished to talk to his mother as well.
Luke went upstairs and saw his little son looking just like an abandoned child as he stood outside of
Luca''s bedroom. It was clear he was feeling aggrieved. He shook his head helplessly and asked with a
smile, "Why aren''t you returning to your room, Tommy?"
"Daddy, I want to go inside. Can I?" Tommy turned around and asked with a pout.
"No. We''re not allowed to disturb them tonight." Luke held his hand and sent him back to his bedroom.
Tommy saw Luke closing the door and sighed softly. He said, "She forgot about her son the moment
she haspany. Boo-hoo."
The next day.
Luke kept his word to Jack and came to his office.
Coincidentally, Jack was done with his morning meeting. Seeing Lukeing over, he ordered his
secretary, "Go brew some tea and send it to my office. I still have things to settle here. Help me deal
with the matters if there''s nothing urgent."

"Yes, sir," the secretary answered and turned around to head toward the pantry.
Jack walked over with a smile, but he still appeared quite serious.
"Mr. Norman," Luke greeted. Even though he was inws with Jack, he would still greet him formally
depending on the asion and not as his father-inw. That way, he would not leave a bad impression
of himself.
Jack admired Luke for being meticulous. He nodded and said, "We''ll talk inside."
"Alright." Luke followed him into the office.
Jack''s secretary came in and served tea, cing the teacups in front of them. Then, she headed out
and closed the door.
Jack picked up the cup of tea and said, "Come, take a sip. I hope you won''t mind the tea not being as
good as the ones in Crawford Manor.”
"There are so many people who wish to drink this cup of tea but they can''t. It''s my honor." Luke lifted
the teacup and took a few sips. He was usually busy, and it was the same for Jack. Hence, the moment
they ced their cups down, they immediately started speaking without beating about the bush. "Mr.
Norman, what is it that you wish to know. You can just tell me."
Jack stared at him, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. It was reced with a serious
expression. "Will you answer my questions as long as I ask them?"
"There are only us both in this office. I''ll answer whatever question you ask me,” Luke said. He did not
n to continue fooling Jack.
Jack nodded. "I believe you''re hiding something from me. But since you''ve given your word, I''ve
decided to continue believing in you. Is Bianca overseas?"
"I''m not too sure about her whereabouts before this, but she''s currently in the country,” Luke replied. He
was indeed unsure whether Luca, who was really Bianca, was in the country before this. After all, when
Luca returned to the country, she underwent proper procedures.
"What do you mean?!" Jack frowned.
"Throughout these three years, I had been suspecting that the Bianca by my side was an impostor and
the impostor had undergone stic surgery to look like Bianca. She was then positioned to stay by my
side. As for the real Bianca, I think she''s being controlled by an unknown organization behind her.”
Realizing that Jack had been suspicious for a long time, Luke revealed everything.
After all, Jack was not someone easily fooled. If Luke did not say the truth and made Jack even more
suspicious, things would take a turn for the worst.
Luke had a lot of things going on and could not be bothered to keep it a secret from Jack any longer.
"Do you have proof?" Jack listened to what Luke said and did not be immediately suspicious.
Even so, he did not choose topletely believe in his words either.
He recalled that Bianca had lost her memory three years ago and lots of unusual things had happened.
However, everything could be exined by the fact that she lost her memory.
If it was true that she never lost her memory but was another person entirely, then that could exin all
those unusual incidents as well.
