Nina could not help but discreetly praise Luca’s kindness. She said, “Alright, let’s go to the conference first. Then, we’ll hand the money to the security guard’s family.”

Luca smiled at her and said, “Thank you.”

It was about time to leave. Sue and Nina said goodbye to Luca so that she may rest.

Luca looked at the supplements on the coffee table, thought for a while, and picked out those that were suitable for middle-aged and old women. She kept away the rest according to their storage instructions.

Tomorrow, she would bring the supplements along with the cash to the security guard’s house.

The next day, Nina arrived at the apartment in her car. When she saw the shopping bag in Luca’s hand, she smiled and said, “You’re so kind, Dr. Craw.”

“You gave me too many supplements yesterday. I can’t finish everything,” Luca explained.

Nina did not mind it. She was glad that their supplements could help some other people. After putting the bag in the trunk, they got into the car and drove toward the conference venue.

After driving some distance, Nina began to frown. “Luca, did you notice that the vehicle behind us is following us?”

Luca glanced at the rearview mirror. She had not noticed it earlier. “Continue driving. Keep a constant speed.”

“Mm.” Nina nodded and continued driving.

Luca observed the vehicle behind them and concluded that it was indeed following them. She told Nina to drive faster.

Nina did what Luca told her to do, and the vehicle behind them also drove faster, though it maintained a constant distance from them.

“Who’s that? Are they planning to abduct us?” Nina frowned. The vehicle behind them was an old, beat-up truck.

“Keep calm, pay attention to their speed, and take the major roads. If they don’t overtake us, they probably won’t have any chance to do anything to us,” Luca said.

Nina was quite nervous. It was the first time she had encountered this situation.

She tried to keep calm as she continued driving forward.

In the truck behind Nina’s car, Jean was sitting in the backseat.

The driver said, “Bro, I think your sister noticed us.”

“Don’t worry. Keep following them,” Jean said with a nonchalant grin. He had gone to Nina’s mansion the day before, and the maid told him that Nina was not in.

Jean chatted with the maid and found out that Nina was going to some conference today.

He knew that Nina did not have many friends in A City, so he took a gamble that his sister was going to the conference with Dr. Craw.

He did not expect that it was indeed Luca.

By tailing Nina, Jean also found out where Luca lived. He continued to tail Nina because he wanted to see where they were going, and he hoped that he could strike up a conversation with Luca.

“Why are we still following them after you’ve found out where that chick lives? Let’s go and have a drink,” the driver said.

Jean slapped the side of the driver’s head. “Why are you talking so much? Shut up and drive. Once I sleep with that woman, all of you won’t have to worry about money anymore.”

“You said that she’s a doctor, right? Is she really that rich?” The hooligan sitting in the side passenger seat asked.

“What do you know? Doctors nowadays are rolling in money. She’s probably a popular one who gets invited to other hospitals too. Don’t you know that they get a fat paycheck just by sitting there for a couple of hours? Right, they might be on retainer for some major corporation too. There are so many ways for them to make money,” Jean narrowed his gaze and said. He saw Luca coming out of a luxury apartment while dressed in branded clothes, and he guessed that Luca was not a mere wage earner.

“That makes a lot of sense, Bro,” the hooligan in the side passenger seat said. He began to fantasize, just like what Jean was doing.

Their leader would strike it rich if he managed to get Luca to be his girlfriend. His lackeys would reap the benefits too.

Luca kept a close eye on the truck behind them. It kept a distance from them and had no intention of overtaking. Text content © .

“When did that truck start to follow us, Nina?” She asked.

Nina shook her head. “I don’t know. I happened to notice it after we went past several intersections.”

“Don’t worry. We’ll just keep driving to the venue. Park in the open-air parking lot instead of the basement. They won’t do anything to us if we’re at a crowded place.” Luca suggested because she did

not know what the people in the truck behind them wanted.

“Alright, no problem.” Nina nodded.

They arrived at the venue ten minutes later.

The sun was high up in the sky, and most drivers parked their cars in the basement. There were many spots in the open-air parking lot.

Nina parked their car in a spot near the road. There were more people there.

Luca noticed that the truck followed them into the parking lot.

Nina was preparing to get out of the car when Luca placed a hand on her shoulder. “Wait a second. We’ll see if those people are getting out of their vehicle.”

“Dr. Craw, should we call the police?” Nina was getting nervous.

“It’s fine.” Luca looked closely at the truck parked not far away from them. She could see that someone was also sitting in the side passenger seat.

She could not see if any people were sitting in the back seat, so she could not tell how many people in total there were. There were at least two people, but they might be four or five people.

They waited for a while and saw that the people in that truck had no intention of getting out. Luca unfastened her seatbelt and said, “If anything happens later, run into the crowd and don’t look back.”

Nina could tell that Luca was prepared for danger. She nodded and took out a can of pepper spray from her handbag.

The two women stepped out of the car.

Luca had been keeping an eye on the truck. After they closed the car doors, no one came out of the truck.

They briskly walked to the entrance of the conference hall and handed their invitations. After stepping into the hall, they breathed a sigh of relief.

“I don’t think they’ll be able to follow us?” Nina asked.

“I don’t think so too,” Luca said. Even a trained assassin from the Island of Despair would not make a move in a crowded place.

Nina relaxed a little. She glanced at the schedule and said, “There’s a lecture about sleep quality and psychology coming up soon. Shall we attend it?”

“Alright,” Luca nodded.

Nina did not sleep well at night. The lecture should be helpful to her.

After making up their minds, they went toward the lecture hall.

Luca read the introduction. The speaker was Dr. Thomason, a famous sleep therapist.

She knew who Dr. Thomason was. His treatment methods were very direct: He would start from understanding the patient’s psychological state, then prescribe some medication to solve the patient’s problems.

Nina took Luca’s hand and went into the hall. They sat down at some seats closer to the front.
