Abel was in charge of Luca's life. Luca pursed her lips so hard that her pale lips had turned purple. Even so, she did not say a word.

Abel sneered when Luca did not reply to him. He continued, “I've already sold the formula. Things are going to get interesting now. Luca, I'd like you to do something for me."

Luca had a bad feeling about it. Her voice sounded hoarse and weak. "What—"

Abel replied, "Make everyone think that it was Albus who sold the formula."

Luca was shocked. Let everyone think that it was Dr. Albus who sold the formula?

If everyone suspected him, then Dr. Albus would definitely get fired. The company would hold him liable for selling the formula.

Luca suddenly realized that Dr. Albus, whom she had been suspecting all this time, was not one of Abel's men.

Who had he sent here, then?

Luca felt lost. She filtered through every subordinate under Dr. Albus in her mind, only to realize that none of them could overthrow Dr. Albus' decision...

Luca could not help but feel anxious at the thought that the person Abel sent was still developing drugs in Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

Abel was laughing hysterically on the other end of the call. "Why are you not talking? Oh yes, you must have thought that Albus was one of my men, right?"

"It now appears that he isn't." Luca sneered. Abel was not that dumb to expose the person he had carefully placed there.

"That's right. But you don't know who it is either. So, you only have to follow my arrangements," said Abel with the sweetest joy of retribution in the bottom of his eyes.

Luca looked down. If she did not know who that person was, then she would always be in danger.

She had planned to alert Luke about it or get rid of Dr. Albus through this matter, but everything turned out to be out of her expectations.

"Oh yes, T Corporation is almost done with the project in Europe, right?" Abel asked.

"Yes. What about it?" Luca did not deny it. It was because Abel's men were also working in T Corporation. What use would it do if she denied it?

"I want you to steal the bidding document a week later. If you can't get it done, I'm not sure what the consequences you'll have to bear are," said Abel. Abel did not want to get rid of Luke so soon. He wanted to take it one step at a time and watch Luke exhaust himself. He wanted to see Luke unable to handle the matter.

It was his pleasure to watch Luke get slowly defeated.

“I don't even know where the safe that holds the bidding document is. I can't do this.” Luca rejected him.

"You know where it is, but you just don't want to steal it. If you're thinking of helping the man you love to solve the crisis this time, you'll have to be willing to let your cute little daughter suffer," Abel said in a grim manner. copyrighted © content.

"What do you mean?!" Luca panicked.

"What I mean is, your daughter is the only one who has yet to take the drug on the Island of Despair. Think about it. Isn't it a good thing to give her the injection? Her physical condition will become stronger, and her skin and facial features will also improve. Well, that doesn't sound like a bad thing after all!" Abel struck Luca's only weak point.

"I'll get the bidding document. Don't touch my daughter." Luca's fists were already clenched hard because of what he said.

The drug that Abel mentioned was not as he mentioned. It was not good at all. It was the drug that she had been injected with before.

The drug could make people grow physically stronger, but it had serious side effects. Furthermore, she had to take the antidote once a month.

Nyla hated taking medicine the most.

"Great. Then I'll be waiting for your good news." Abel hung up the call as soon as he finished talking.

Then came the busy tone from the other end of the call. After that, it became quiet again. Luca was still unable to calm herself down.

Abel left Luca with no choice. He was forcing her to choose between Luke and her daughter.

Luca put her phone aside and looked at the door worriedly. She knew Luke's habits when it came to keeping confidential documents. If Luca was lucky enough and it turned out that Luke had not changed the safe's password after all these years, she was pretty sure that she could get the bidding document.

Luke would not have the chance to prepare another bidding document in time regardless of whether he found out about it or not.

The other party would definitely hand over the bidding document first. If Luke did not find out about it and handed in the bidding document as well, T Corporation would immediately be disqualified. The corporation would even be accused of stealing the other company's confidential information.

If Luke found out about it, he would have to prepare a new bidding document within a week. It was all part of Abel's plan.

Luca looked down at her lunchbox. The food had turned cold, and she no longer had the appetite to eat.

She was destined to fail everyone around her.

If Nyla knew that Luca had to force others into a dead-end to protect her, Luca was not sure what Nyla would think about her.

Luca put the lid on the lunchbox and threw it in the trash can.

Nyla was born on the Island of Despair, and Luca was worried that the environment there would affect the child's physical and mental development. That was why Luca had been teaching Nyla to be kind- hearted and never do bad things.

However, as the child's mother, she had no choice but to do these evil things to protect her.

After Luca got off work, she received a call from Nina. Luca looked at all the work she had yet to finish. She had no choice but to tidy them up and bring them back home to work on them.

Luca was in low spirits when she headed downstairs after clocking out.

Nina, who had been waiting for Luca downstairs, saw her walking out of the entrance of T Corporation. She hurried over to meet her and opened the car door for her.

“Thank you, Nina." Luca's mind was somewhere else when she bent down and got into the car.

She did not even notice that her movement had accidentally torn her wound.

Nina noticed that something was wrong with Luca. Nina sat in the driver's seat, fastened her seat belt, and looked at Luca. Luca seemed to be preoccupied. She did not even fasten her seat belt.

"Luca, why are you spacing out? Are you too tired?" Nina asked caringly.

Luca came back to her senses, shook her head, and replied, "I was thinking about something else. Let's go."

"You haven't fastened your seat belt." Nina reminded her.

Luca lowered her head and glanced at the seat belt. She had been lost in thought ever since she received Abel's call. She became less efficient at work, doing things slowly. She even forgot such a normal thing.

Luca fastened her seat belt immediately.

Nina started the car engine and headed to the mansion. "You don't look good. Rest earlier after you have your dinner later. I'll take care of the kids for you."

Luca shook her head when she heard Nina taking the initiative to take care of the kids. She said, "You can just drop me off and I'll stay at home myself. Nina, you have your own life too."

"But I'm worried about you. Just one night. I won't come to your place again after Luke comes back tomorrow." Nina insisted.

Luca did not say anything. She just nodded.

Luca fell silent as she watched the hustle and bustle outside the window. She was speculating who exactly was the person Abel had placed in Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

Moreover, Abel had already sold off the formula. When would the buyer launch the product?
