Allison was a little surprised. Then, she burst into laughter. Her grin was too wide without her realizing it, which caused her skin to stretch and left her in pain.
Fortunately, she was wearing a hat and a mask. Otherwise, everyone would have been able to see her contorted features.
Luke took in a cold breath when he heard her laughing, and his face still remained composed.
Allison calmed down when she was no longer in pain. Recently, she seldom took the medication prescribed by Luca. Hence, her skin had become much more sensitive. Sometimes, when she did large movements, her wrinkled skin would stretch and cause her to be in pain.
She looked at Luke, and the latter did not show any expression of concern.
Allison was used to it and did not need his concern either. All she cared about was the money she received.
"Did you think I wouldn't know about what had happened during my time in prison? If you still love Bianca, then why were you two sleeping in separate rooms? At the end of the day, you're just a germaphobe and still mind her past." She was not bothered about whether or not her words would anger Luke. After all, everyone had the same thought, so she might as well just say it out.
Luke tilted his head and looked at Allison, but it only made him irritated.
'It seems that she has been too free and started gossiping with the servants to know about past matters.
'Otherwise, how would she know that Bianca and I slept in separate rooms back then?'
Seeing that Luke was not talking, Allison then said, "Actually, this isn't a big problem. Just divorce if you guys have no more feelings for each other. Besides, given your current situation and Bianca's unstable emotions, you'll likely gain custody of the kids."
Luke opened his eyes and looked at her coldly. All this while, it had been Bianca helping her out, yet Allison said such a thing. "Are you done talking?"
Only then did Allison notice that Luke was angry. She kept quiet because Luke's cold gaze seemed as if he would throw her out of the plane at any moment.
The plane slowly took off.
Luke shut his eyes and ignored Allison.
The flight attendant came to serve desserts and drinks. Allison saw the food that was placed before her and noticed it was almost noon.
She woke up late and did not get to have breakfast before Luke arrived to pick her up.
She was a little hungry now...
Even though they were in first class, there were still people around. Allison dared not take off her mask in public. She had no choice but to bear with her hunger and wait until she got off the plane.
On the other hand.
It was noon. Queenie came to the provincial capital and gave Enoch a call.
Enoch immediately met up with her when he received the call from Queenie.
Due to his unique status, Queenie booked a private room in a nearby Western restaurant and waited for Enoch to show up.
After 15 minutes, Enoch showed up.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Norman. A member of the public suddenly appeared in the office and I had to handle their matters first, so I'm late.”
Queenie shook her head, indicating it was alright. "It's alright. Have a seat."
Enoch sat opposite Queenie. Before the latter could speak, he asked, "I'm guessing your trip here this time is regarding Luca, right?"
"You're a smart guy, Enoch." Queenie nodded. Yesterday, after Luca brought the kids back home, she thought about it for the entire night and chose to believe in Luca.
After all, she had believed from the very start that Luca was not the type who would destroy other people's families.
Queenie thought that Luca was a good person. If it were not because of Bianca, she would not have overthought matters.
"Seeing that you called me out today, you must have already checked things through.” Enoch was excited. 'If she has found out that something is going on between Luca and Luke, she'll definitely stop their relationship at all costs.”
At that time, not only would Luca be a failure but her intention of getting Luke and living a good life through him would be gone.
The thought of it made Enoch excited.
'It's her fault for not choosing me!'
Queenie noticed the excited look on Enoch's face and felt disgusted.
She did not expect that in addition to stalking, Enoch also had a strong sense of revenge. 'Thank God Luca didn't like him. If she had ended up liking him, something bad would've happened in the future.' "I did verify things. Actually, things are not like what you think." Queenie took a deep breath and suppressed the uneasiness within her.
In the past, she would have absolutely avoided talking with someone like Enoch.
Enoch was stunned and stopped smiling. 'Things are not like what I think?' owns all content.
"Did you make a mistake, Mrs. Norman?"
Queenie shook her head and said, "Luca is an employee of T Corporation. Because of fate, she got close with the kids. When Luke is working overtime, she would go over to spend time with the kids. It's not like what you think."
"Impossible." Enoch immediately denied it. He did not believe that a single man and a single woman staying in the same house would still remain in an innocent relationship.
"Stop being stubborn, Enoch. All you saw was Luca entering the villa, and not what had happened inside. I've already clarified the matter. I'm only telling you this today so that you won't let your mind stray anymore. The reason Luca rejected you was because she thought you guys weren't a match and nothing else. From now on, don't think about unnecessary things. After all, if such a thing were to spread, it'll do you no good," Queenie advised him.
Listening to Queenie siding with Luca made Enoch have a dark expression.
Queenie noticed it and sighed. "Enoch, you're a young lad. You should know that you can't force a relationship."
"I know," Enoch replied immediately. If it were not for Jack, he would have started barking.
'They claimed that she was a good woman with clean family background. In reality, she's such a player and a woman who sells herself for money. She made me waste so much time and effort.'
Hence, no matter what Queenie said, it would not change Enoch's perspective.
Besides, he found her nagging rather irritating.
Queenie was dumbfounded.
Enoch snapped out of it and noticed that the words he blurted out were rather rash.
He scratched his head and explained, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Norman. I know that you can't force a relationship. The reason I told you about it was that Mr. Crawford is your son-in-law. Since they're both innocent, then that's great."
Queenie let out a breath of relief. Looking at his expression now, nothing seemed to be wrong.
"It's good if you're able to think things through, Enoch."
Enoch got up and said, "Yes, I've thought through it, Mrs. Norman. If there's nothing else, I'll excuse myself."
Queenie stopped him. "Aren't you going to have lunch?"
"There's a lot of work in the office. I have to rush back. I'll just order something and have it delivered. You should enjoy your meal. I won't bother you anymore," Enoch said. At this moment, he despised Queenie as well. 'She looks gentle, but in truth, she's not at all reliable.
'Otherwise, why would she have introduced Luca to me?'
‘Now, she's even helping them clear their names. Honestly speaking, the reason she came looking for me and said those things is just that she doesn't want to air her family's dirty laundry in public.'
