Luca heard that and turned to look at the stage.


    Indeed, under Mo Stone''s arrangement, the employees of the PR department walked toward the stage


    with the microphone in their hands.


    They held the scripts and started giving speeches.


    As Luca listened to their speeches, she suddenly asked Luke, "Mr. Crawford, will you be delivering a


    speech?"


    "I don''t have to," replied Luke. There was a section arranged for him to give a speech, but he had it


    canceled.


    After all, Luca was the brightest star of the show tonight.


    "I don''t want to give a speech either," replied Luca as she expressed her thoughts.


    She hoped that Luke could cancel it.


    Dr. Linwood, who sat beside them, could not help but secretly guess that something was going on


    between Luca and Luke. Otherwise, how would Luca dare to say something like that?


    "Alright," replied Luke. He picked up his phone and sent a message to Mo Stone.


    Mo Stone felt a vibration in her hand when she was holding her phone. Then, she nced at it and


    realized she received a message from Luke. She immediately informed those who were beside her,


    "Cancel Dr. Craw''s speech. Proceed to the award ceremony."


    "Huh? Why?" The PR staff beside her was confused. Was the program not nned earlier?


    "I''m just following instructions. Hurry up," urged Mo Stone when she noticed that the emcee on stage


    was about to finish giving his speech.


    The PR staff immediately used their backstagemunication system tomunicate with the emcee


    on stage. After they saw the emcee making an ''OK'' gesture, they let out a sigh of relief. "Alright, the


    program is canceled."


    "Okay. Just proceed with the award ceremony." Mo Stone also let out a sigh of relief. Although she had


    no idea why Luke suddenly canceled it, she only knew that she was doing what her boss had instructed


    her to do.


    Mo Stone turned and looked at the table where Luca was seated, lost in thoughts.


    "Ms. Stone, please make sure that you''ve confirmed the programs of the event in advance. We''re lucky


    enough to make it in time. Otherwise, something could''ve gone wrong," the employee could not help


    butin. They knew that Luke would being to the event this time. That was why the


    employees of the PR department considered it a top priority.


    Even though theirpany was not asrge as T Corporation, they would not want to make any


    mistakes in front of Luke.


    Mo Stone''s sudden change in the programs almost caused them to fall behind schedule.


    "I''m sorry." There was nothing Mo Stone could say as it was Luke''s decision. She had no choice but to


    quietly endure it. Then, she picked up her phone and sent Luke a message, telling him that it had been


    canceled.

    Luke put down his phone and said to Luca, "It''s been canceled."


    "Thank you," Luca replied in a soft voice. Dr. Linwood felt even more surprised when he heard their


    conversation.


    Luke listened to what Luca said. His affection for her was probably one of a kind...


    Were all the rumors he had heard before true?


    Was Luke really keeping Luca as his mistress?


    After the emcee finished reading the script, he skipped Luca''s speech section and proceeded to the


    next program, which was the award ceremony.


    The award ceremony was held to award Luca and her team of researchers with bonuses and


    certificates for their achievement.


    Rhett walked toward Luca and invited her. "Dr. Craw, it''s time to go on stage."


    "Okay." Luca picked up a napkin and gently wiped her mouth. Then, she rose to her feet and went on


    stage with them.


    Luca was the leader of the team. That was why she was asked to stand in the center of the stage,


    surrounded by other researchers and Rhett.


    Luca looked at the people below the stage. They were all looking at her.


    There were gazes of admiration and also jealousy.


    When the emcee took out a giant award presentation check, the envious look on their faces grew even


    stronger. The generous amount of bonus given to them was equivalent to a few months of the pay they


    received....


    After the award ceremony, they were about to leave the stage. Just then a voice came out of nowhere.


    "Dr. Craw, how could you take part in the award ceremony without me?"


    Everyone turned around and saw a man in a hotel waiter''s uniform walking toward the stage.


    "It''s Ambrose." Rhett, who stood next to Luca, immediately recognized the man. It was the dismissed


    employee, Ambrose.


    "What is he doing here?" Another researcher wondered.


    Luca remained silent as she looked at Ambrose. It seemed like he came looking for trouble.


    “Let''s get off the stage." Rhett noticed Luca''s face darkened. He immediately told the others to get off


    the stage.


    The others nodded. When they started getting off the stage, Ambrose suddenly yelled at them. "What''s


    the rush? We were colleagues. Why can''t you all wait for me? Do you have something to hide?"


    "Ambrose, stop it." One of the researchers who was closer to him could not help but advise him.


    Ambrose had asked him about the venue and time of the dinner before.


    The researcher did not see thising. He thought Ambrose regretted what he did. That was why he


    told him.


    He did not expect Ambrose to cause any trouble.


    Ambrose looked at therge check in front of him as though he did not hear what he said. Even though


    his share of the bonus had been deposited into his bank ount, the resentment in his heart kept on


    growing. He came here to demand an exnation today.


    Ambrose gazed intently at Luca and Rhett, his eyes full of hatred.


    If it were not for Rhett, who reported him, and Luca dismissing him despite all the efforts he had put


    into the previous research, he would not have ended up like this.


    Now, the other pharmaceuticalpanies would reject him as soon as they saw his record and found


    out what he did.


    Luca''s actions might seem insignificant, but they made him cklisted in the industry.


    Ambrose knew there was no way he could continue to work in the pharmaceutical industry. All he knew


    was researching and studying drugs. How could he pursue a different career?!


    Therefore, Ambrose''s resentment grew stronger.


    Luca and the others got off the stage, ready to ignore Ambrose, who was walking toward them. They


    wanted to return to their seats, but Ambrose rushed toward her and took a bottle out of his pocket. He


    opened it and sshed it on Luca.


    "Watch out, Dr. Craw!" Rhett eximed with surprise.


    Ambrose targeted Luca, and he wanted to ssh the liquid in the bottle on her.


    The moment Rhett called out for Luca, she immediately pushed Rhett away and jumped swiftly,


    dodging to the right and avoiding the attack.


    "Ah, my hand!" Someone who stood next to Luca got sshed by some of the liquid. He immediately


    screamed in pain.


    The liquid did not reach Luca and spilled on the floor.


    The carpet was immediately corroded. There were bubbles of yellow gas rising from it.


    Luca found out that Ambrose was nning to ssh the strong acid at her.


    Ambrose had gone insane!


    "Ambrose, how dare you?!" The researcher who was close to Ambrose saw his colleague''s injured


    hand. He immediately understood what had happened.


    Ambrose stared angrily at Luca as though he did not hear what the others said to him. "Do you think


    you can run away from me for the rest of your life? Luca Craw, you b*tch! How dare you fire me? I''ll


    take your life one day!"


    "You don''t stand a chance." Luca nced at the researcher''s injured hand and turned to look at Rhett.


    Ambrose was targeting Luca and Rhett when he threw the bottle of acid at them. However, Luca was


    fast. She pushed Rhett away and dodged the attack. That was why they were unharmed.
