Luca had never given up the thought of saving her daughter all along.

However, it was only now that she realized that there was no way she could do this alone.

She could not depend on her strength. There was no way she could fight against Abel alone. Every word and every move she made was made known to Abel.

Luca needed support from others so that she could fight him. However, who could support her?

Luca knew she could only do this alone. There was no one else...

Knock, knock. someone was knocking on the door. Luca lifted her head in grievance and suppressed the urge to cry. Only then did she ask, "Who is it?"

“Luca, it's me, Vivian.” Vivian's voice came from outside the door.

Luca sniffed and walked to the door. She opened the door and said, “Vivian, what's the matter?”

Vivian was carrying a set of clothes in her hands. She gave Luca a shy smile and explained, “I thought you might need these, so I came to give them to you. They're all new. Don't worry.”

Luca took the clothes Vivian handed to her. It was a set of warm pajamas.

"Thank you. Sorry to bother you tonight.” Luca thanked her.

"Don't mention it. You're our honorable guest. This is just something I should be doing,” Vivian smiled and said. Then, she noticed that something was wrong with Luca's expression. Her eyes were red and puffy, so she asked, "Luca, were you crying?”

"No." Luca shook her head, pretending as if nothing had happened.

She had been pretending to be strong in front of others for a long time. It was an easy task for her.

"But your eyes are red. You can tell me if you feel upset. I promise I won't tell anyone about it.” Vivian thought Luca was worried that she would reveal her secret, so she gave Luca her word again.

It was because she had no other choice that she told Ray about Luca's matter the last time.

"It's true. I feel so happy today. T Corporation got the project, and everyone's efforts paid off. Why would I cry on such a happy day? If I'm going to cry, it'd be tears of happiness,” Luca said a lot to make Vivian believe in her.

"Really?” Vivian looked at Luca with her blue eyes.

"Yes.” Luca continued to explain when Vivian refused to believe her, "My eyes are red because I'm feeling sleepy and my eyes are dry.”

“I see. Well, I should leave. Goodnight." Vivian thought she was disturbing Luca and felt embarrassed.

Luca shook her head. She did not intend to continue to explain to Vivian even though she had misunderstood her.

"I'm leaving first. Oh, if there's anything you need, just pick up the phone receiver at your bedside and press one. The maids who are on duty will pick up the call. And the guards on duty will answer the call if you press two." Vivian turned around and left after that.

Luca closed the door and looked at the pajamas she was holding. She pondered for a moment and changed into the pajamas. Then, she lay down on the bed.

She would still have to stay in this villa even if her thoughts were all over her mind.

Moreover, Luke would not be making any moves. Hence, she did not have to speculate what Luke was going to do. She closed her eyes and planned to take a nap.

Luca had to force herself to rest for a while no matter what.

She was stressed out all day long, and she needed to rest.

In the villa's living room.

Luke and Ray were discussing something

Vivian walked toward them. Ray asked, "Have you finished making the arrangements?"

"Yes. I've already handed the pajamas to Mr. Doyle and Luca. Brother Luke, I asked the maid to leave a set of new pajamas for you on the sofa in your room. You can change into that later," said Vivian.

Luke looked up, and Luca came across his mind. He asked, "How's Luca doing?"

"Luca? She looks tired. And her eyes were slightly red. She told me that she was sleepy. I didn't say anything much. I just gave her the pajamas and left," answered Vivian.

Her eyes were red?

Luca must be distraught, thinking of what he would do next.

However, they were still aboard, so they could not work things out now. That was why she kept on worrying.

Vivian noticed that Luke remained silent, so she asked, "Brother Luke, the maid has prepared supper.

Would you like to have some?"

Luke shook his head and replied, "No, thank you."

"Alright then. I'm going to bed. The two of you can continue talking." Vivian smiled, then she stood up and left.

Luke watched Vivian leave from behind. He asked, "Has Gordan proceeded with the formalities?"

"No." Ray's expression turned gloomy when Luke mentioned Ray. "I don't know what he's up to. The lawyer said he'd like to talk to Vivian."

"You don't want Vivian to have anything to do with Gordan again," said Luke. It was not a question but an affirmative sentence.

Ray nodded and replied, "It wasn't easy for her to make such a decision. Since she's leaving, then I'll have to make sure that she draws a line between her and Gordan."

Ray only did that to protect Vivian's safety.

Who would possibly know what Gordan was up to?

Gordon hated ugly women. Even so, he was still the one who approached Vivian first.

No matter how Vivian devoted herself to him and treated him kindly, Gordon never failed to show that he detested her.

However, when Vivian asked for a divorce, Gordan did not agree with it immediately. Instead, he was now trying to get the chance to discuss it with Vivian.

Was Gordan not satisfied enough even when Vivian asked for nothing in return? Could it be that he wanted them to compensate him for the past few years of moral damage?

In this relationship, Gordon was forced to stay beside Vivian. He was definitely at a disadvantage. Even so, Vivian had also spent her youth and spirit on this relationship. Had she not made sacrifices too?

That was why Ray would not allow Vivian to meet Gordan and talk about it no matter what. It was to stop him from hurting her again. Original from .

“Previously, you had to go to great lengths to make him agree to the marriage. Now, Vivian is willing to leave unconditionally, but he's delaying things. Tell me, what is Gordan up to?" Ray asked.

Luke shook his head and replied, "I'm not sure about that."

Luke only helped Gordan the last time because he owed him a favor.

Otherwise, judging from Luke's personality, he would not have interfered in such things.

After all, he had nothing to do with this.

This time, Gordon did not say anything, so Luke could not be bothered about it.

"I don't ask for anything else. I just hope that Gordan will get divorced as soon as possible. Vivian told me that she'd like to travel abroad to move on from this and live a fulfilling life." Ray toyed with the cigar. His good-looking face was stiff and stern because of Vivian's affair.

Ray thought of keeping Vivian beside him. Since he had a strong background, he could support her. He could do anything he wanted.

However, Vivian seemed to be slightly different from before after what had happened between her and Gordan. She was looking for something different. She wanted to enrich her life instead of staying here and being protected by her family.

Ray knew he could not change her mind, so he began to help with the arrangements.

"Where is she going?" Luke asked.

"Your country," Ray told him about Vivian's choice.
