Luca was certain after she saw him evade her question.

It was Pierre!

"Didn't you find out more before you kidnapped me? I was rumored to be romantically involved with Luke Crawford. Also, I work in T Corporation. If I don't show up to work, they'll know that I'm missing and call the police." Luca reminded him in a casual tone.

The man knew that Luca's kidnapping had been announced on the news.

The kidnappers thought that even if a passerby who was around when they kidnapped her called the police to report it, it would take a long time for the mindless police officers to find out Luca's identity.

They never expected that on the second day of the kidnapping, the police already knew who Luca was and issued a notice.

‘Could it be... that what she said is true?'

They had been involved in multiple kidnappings of prominent figures but they had never dared to provoke the Crawford and Mallory families.

Everyone in their line of work knew that the businesses those two families were involved in were clean but their connections were not only from the law enforcement.

The families also had connections with criminal organizations.

Therefore, the kidnappers were not that stupid.

Before they kidnapped Luca, they knew that she was working in T Corporation but they did not put too much thought into it. After all, a company as big as T Corporation must have many employees. If

something happened to an employee, Luke would not be bothered to handle it himself.

That was why the kidnappers did not further their investigation.

They did not expect to kidnap a woman who was involved with Luke...

Luca looked at him in silence, thinking that the kidnapper must be very nervous after he heard what she said. She was going to try harder to scare him.

"It's fine if you're not afraid of the Crawford and Mallory families, but what about the organization behind me? Are you really not afraid?" She threatened him.

The man asked subconsciously, "What's the organization behind you?"

Luca smiled and acted indifferent as she said, "The organization behind me is something you wouldn't dare to provoke. But I won't tell you. Just you wait."

The man panicked after he heard what she said. However, he thought about it for a while.

'She's just an ordinary woman. How could she have a powerful organization backing her? Does she think that we're in a movie?'

"Stop messing with my head. You're just a woman who knows nothing. You said you have an organization behind you? Pfft! I'm not afraid of you," the man straightened his posture and said. Text content © .

Luca raised her eyebrows and responded, "If I were you, I would quickly get the person who wants me kidnapped to come and pick me up so that I can get the money. Then, I'll leave A City as soon as possible. Else, I won't let you go after I'm freed."

The man was frightened by her words but was unwilling to admit it. He braved himself and said loudly, "Stop trying to lie to me. Let me tell you this, if you continue to talk sh*t, you'll get what's coming for

you. You're a pretty woman, and I'm sure you're not a virgin. Even if my partner and I force ourselves on you, no one will know. If you don't want to suffer, shut up and be obedient."

Luca shook her head and did not say anything else.

She just wanted to know who wanted to have her kidnapped.

The man walked out in anger. After he closed the door, another man looked at him and asked, "What happened, Eric? Did that woman mess with you?"

"What are you talking about? How could she have messed with me when her hands and feet are tied?!" The man named Eric took a swig of beer to boost his courage.

He was taken aback by what Luca said.

"Why are you so mad, then? I told you that this woman is troublesome yet you still went out of your way to fulfill her demands. Tsk tsk, you asked for it," another man said with a smile on his face.

"Derek, we might be in trouble," Eric said as he looked at Derek.

Derek frowned and responded, "What trouble?"

Eric told him everything Luca said.

"Are you sure this woman isn't bluffing? Maybe she just wants to escape, so she's threatening us. How can a foreign woman have so much power and be involved with the Crawford and Mallory families?" Derek expressed his disbelief.

Eric took his phone, opened the browser, and searched for the keywords 'Luke Crawford and Luca Craw'. The results instantly came out.

"Sh*t, this woman is rumored to be involved with Luke Crawford," he said.

"No way. Let me have a look." Derek immediately picked up his phone and read the news from this year.

They usually never paid any attention to gossip news. When they read the comments on the news report, it seemed that it was a big deal back then.

Eric panicked and said, "We've never dared to provoke the Crawford family. What if Luke Crawford finds us?"

Derek was also a little scared. "Bah, what are you afraid of? I don't believe that Luke Crawford would have the time to care for this one woman considering that he has plenty more women surrounding him."

Eric was still worried. "Why don't we call that person to deal with the woman? The police are so efficient this time around. It must have been because the Crawford family is putting pressure on them. If we hand over the woman to him, we can get the money and leave A City to avoid the limelight."

Derek hesitated. "We might get a lot less money that way."

"What's more important, money or our lives? If we end up getting locked up, we won't be able to enjoy our money." Eric picked up the phone and decided to call Pierre.

Derek acquiesced. After all, their lives were more important.

Pierre sat on the sofa, glanced at the incoming call, and hung up.

Percy walked over to him with two glasses of red wine and handed Pierre a glass.

Pierre looked at the wine in front of him, raised his brows, and said, "Brother, it's not good to drink during the day, no?"

"It's just one drink. Do you have other work to attend to today?" Percy sat across from him and took a sip of wine.

"Since you haven't arranged any work for me, what tasks would I have to attend to?" Pierre took the glass, swayed it, put it close to his nose, and sniffed it. He said, "Brother, you have the best wine here."

Percy invited him, saying, "If you're free, you can come and taste my wine every day. I have a wine cellar here. It's not like you don't know that."

"Thank you for the offer." Pierre raised his glass as a thank you.

Luke looked at him and asked, "You've been quite free, right? Since you're getting married soon, I have a wedding gift for you."

Pierre had a fiancee but the wedding date had yet to be set.

The Mallory family wanted to bring him and the Johnston girl together. They planned to hold Pierre's wedding after Percy's was done.

Pierre readily agreed to that. What Percy did not expect was that Pierre had a fiancee but was still eyeing his woman.

Percy would be lying if he said that he was not furious about that.

"What wedding gift? Brother, you can't give me the same wedding gift as others. It'll make you look lame." Pierre joked.
