Luca’s expression remained impassive as Mrs. Sullivan continued to beg her.

Talia and her mother exchanged glances. Even though she felt guilty for asking Luca for help, she realized that she really needed Luca’s help to get her out of that mess.

She tried to evoke Luca’s pity. “You don’t have to say that, Mom. It’s all my fault. I’m the silly one.”

Streams of tears gushed from Mrs. Sullivan’s eyes. She had suffered multiple shocks over the past two days. When those hooligans came to threaten Talia’s life, Cole did not show up at all.

She resented her daughter for sleeping with that man.

Mrs. Sullivan wiped her tears away and sobbed. “I can’t blame you, Talia. That man must have tricked you to get in bed with him, but now… now… how heartless can he be? Tell me, Ms. Craw, does that man deserve to be a department manager?”

Luca did not think that Cole was qualified to be a department manager, but she had no say in the hiring process.

“You’re complaining to the wrong person, Mrs. Sullivan. It’s Mr. Crawford’s decision.” Luca realized that Talia and her mother wanted her to help them get back at Cole.

They thought that they could rely on someone of the same rank as Cole in the department so that Cole’s position would be in peril.

However, Talia had told her mother that Cole was the one who tricked her…

Luca could not stop Talia from telling lies, but she thought that she was lucky for not accepting Talia as her research assistant. Since that incident, Luca had realized that Talia was someone who would not hesitate to lie to gain whatever she wanted. What she heard earlier proved her right once again.
