Shanks did not say anything more.

After all, he would fulfill whatever he had promised Abel.

Shanks looked at the microscope on the table that was not far away from him after Abel left. That was the microscope Luca used to do her research.

Ever since she left the Island of Despair, the microscope had never been used again. The dust had begun to settle on it.

His words just now made it seem like it was only for the sake of his experiment, but he was also giving Luca a chance.

Shanks had been to A City before. The people there took New Year's seriously. They thought it was an important day to reunite with their family members.

All the students who went to study abroad and those who were working elsewhere would return to their hometowns and celebrate New Year's with their families.

It was probably Luca's last chance to celebrate New Year's with that man.

In that photo just now, Luca looked so happy when she was looking at Luke. Shanks looked at the microscope. He could still remember the happiness of seeing his family members during New Year's.

Regardless if one was rich or poor, New Year's would be one's happiest moment.

“Ivana, appreciate what you have now..." Shanks shifted his gaze away and continued to mix the solutions.

It was 10 o'clock in the morning.

Louis arrived at the T Corporation on time.

The receptionist recognized him as Young Master Louis of the Crawford family. She did not stop him and greeted him instead, "Good morning, Mr. Louis."

"Good morning. Is Mr. Crawford upstairs?" Louis asked. He did not intend to distance himself from Luke, but he was in the office now, so he should be formal.

Although he was T Corporation's shareholder, he was not an employee of the company.
