Matysh looked at Leia with confusion, refusing to believe what she said.

Could someone who could not even stop themselves from being mean to Luca be able to help him?

Mandy had been staying by Matysh's side for some time now, and she knew Matysh did not trust Leia.

Mandy was the one who recommended Leia to carry out the mission, so she said, “Mr. Matysh, if Leia says she can do it, she'll certainly succeed. I believe in her.”

Matysh stared at Mandy for a few seconds and shifted his gaze back to his phone. At last, he nodded and said, "Fine. I'll trust you this time."

"Don't worry. I won't take your money if I fail. You have nothing to lose either. Enjoy your holiday in the villa," replied Leia. The hatred she felt for Luca in her heart was getting stronger. It was like a rising yeasted dough in a high-temperature oven.

Leia put her phone aside after she ended the video call. Her eyes darkened like a deep bottomless hole.

On the other hand.

Luca had already dealt with her emotions after she left the ward. She was on her way back to the parking lot. Luca had only got into the car after she thought there was nothing wrong with her.

"That fast?" Luke glanced at the time. It only took 20 minutes for Luca to get it done.

He secretly made some rough calculations. It would take 15 minutes for one to head to Leia's ward and come back here.

“There's nothing much. Ms. Norman doesn't need my help, so I came back,” Luca replied with a smile on her face. She did not tell Luke those awful things she heard in the ward.

Luke frowned.

"Mr. Crawford, let's go home. That way, Aunt Neile can go home earlier too," said Luca. She felt much better with the car heater warming her up.

"What did Leia say?" Luke did not intend to leave yet. He turned around and stared at her.

"Nothing..." Luca did not want to say anything, and she never thought of telling anyone about it either. After all, if Luke truly stood up for her, Leia would be in trouble. That would only make Queenie worried. “Luca, I can go upstairs and ask if you don't tell me.” Luke insisted on knowing what Leia had said to her. Although Luca looked fine, she must have heard something terrible from Leia.
