The next day, Luca checked her phone as soon as she woke up.

She had nightmares the entire night. She dreamt of being forced to separate from Luke and her children. She also dreamt of Nina being brutally abused by Pierre.

The dreams made her feel suffocated...

Luca looked at her phone. There was a text sent 11 minutes ago. She opened it immediately.

Amur had texted her. He said that he found the place where Nina was being held hostage and he was already creating an anonymous phone software. He would notify Percy as soon as he was done.

Luca got up immediately and replied: [Have you notified Percy?]

Amur responded: [Give me five minutes.]

Luca understood that it meant that the software would take another five minutes to complete. Amur could only notify Percy after the anonymous phone software was made so that he would not be discovered. Original from .

One's phone number had to be registered with one's real name. As such, Percy could still find Amur even if he registered for a new number to notify him about Nina's whereabouts.

Luca's heart settled a little. She thought that things would get better now that they were close to finding where Nina was being held. She believed that Percy would come up with a plan to rescue Nina soon.

Luca suddenly remembered that the kids had spent the night here, so she washed up immediately, changed into casual clothes, and went downstairs.

As long as they were staying with her, she would prepare food for the children.

Luca opened the door and glanced at the doors of the guest bedrooms. They were still closed. It seemed that everyone was still sleeping.

She gently walked downstairs and was stupefied when she saw Luke sitting on the sofa.

Luke turned his head to look at her.

Luca bit the bullet and greeted him, "Mr. Crawford, good morning."

"We're at home now. You can be a little more casual," Luke said.

'Casual?' Luca thought about it. It would be better for her to continue referring to him as Mr. Crawford. The two of them had nothing to do with each other. It would be inappropriate to call him by his name.

She thought of Nina. After Percy found out where Nina was, she was certain that he would inform Luke and get his help. She did not say anything and went into the kitchen immediately.

Yesterday, she bought some bread for herself. She only needed to toast the bread, fry some eggs, and warm the milk in the microwave to make a quick breakfast for the family.

She would likely be able to get it sorted before Luke had to make a move.

Luca rolled up her sleeves and started preparing breakfast. Five minutes later, a simple breakfast was ready.

While Luca was busy in the kitchen, she kept a close ear on what was going on in the living room.

After a while, Luke's phone rang.

Shortly after, he walked into the kitchen and said, "I'm heading out. The cleaning lady will come over a little later today. Please keep an eye on her for me."

"Have some breakfast before you go. I made some sandwiches," Luca said. She thought that it would be inconvenient for Luke to eat the ingredients separately so she made two sandwiches for him.

Luke looked at the simple breakfast, nodded, picked up one of the sandwiches, and finished it in two to three bites. He raised his glass and finished the milk. He then picked up the other sandwich.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and said, "Percy may have news about Nina. I'm heading out to lend him a hand but don't have your hopes up. We're just checking out a plausible lead."

"Go on. I'll take care of the kids." Luca nodded.

With her promise, Luke wholeheartedly trusted her with the kids and left with the sandwich.

Luca stood by the window and watched Luke drive away. She was lost in thought.

‘Nina should be safe now...'

After Luke left the villa, he drove to the location provided by Percy and met up with him.

His men had been waiting there for a long time. At the same time, Percy's men were also waiting there. It was a lively scene as soon as the men from both sides met. If others did not know, they would have thought that the bodyguards were there in preparation for the arrival of someone famous.

"Are you sure that the tip is reliable?" Luke asked.

"I'm not sure but my men have checked out the area. There's a sophisticated security system set up around the villa. At the same time, there are security guards on duty every few meters. I suspect that Nina is inside," Percy said. He had sent someone to investigate and found that the villa was indeed suspicious.

"The villa belongs to your mother?" Luke asked. His men had already searched for all the villas under Percy's name but they did not find anything.

As such, they had not found anything until now.

Percy nodded and replied, "I didn't expect him to be so bold and hide her in the villa under our mother's name. Isn't he worried that the Mallory family will be affected if something happens?"

Luke reminded him, saying, "If Pierre can start a company to compete with Mallory Corporation for business, do you think he would be worried about something like this? Your mother has always favored him. Even though this villa is in her name, there's a chance that she gave it to Pierre long ago. That's why he dared to do such things."

Percy nodded in agreement. The Pierre he knew now was no longer the younger brother he could easily control back then.

Percy knew that he was Madam Mallory's favorite, so he acted arrogant and unscrupulous in the Mallory family.

After what happened with Luca last time, he learned his lesson and avoided keeping hostages in the villas under his name.

"Do you have the floor plan?" Luke asked.

"I have it on hand. There's only one exit, so it's easy to make a move. We first need to get rid of the people outside the house. The people inside will be easy to deal with," Percy said. The people guarding outside the house looked like elites but they were nothing in comparison to Luke's men.

If they could not fight one-on-one, they would take them on two-on-one. There were more of Percy and Luke's men compared to Pierre's.

"Okay, I'll go along with your plan. I don't know if Pierre will hurt Nina when pushed into the corner, so it's better to be cautious and try to deal with the men outside without alerting those who are inside." Luke reminded him.

It was Percy's woman, so Luke would gladly let Percy take charge of the situation while he would just follow from behind.

"Let's wait for another five minutes," Percy said.

Luke did not say anything and just waited silently.

Five minutes later, Percy's men came over and whispered, "Boss, we've checked the infrared detector and found that there are not many people inside. The security guards seem to be concentrated outside the house. As soon as we deal with the men outside, it'll be easy to manage the situation inside."

"Okay, just follow what I said just now. Everyone should take their corresponding positions now. Let's go." Percy made a move and the group dispersed after they heard his instructions.

The plan was for them to approach the villa from different directions and take down the bodyguards guarding outside. Preferably, they would do it at the same time so as not to alert those inside the house.
