Luca knew that Luke had managed the situation well.

He did a wonderful job. Dexter could not do anything to the Norman family even if he was eyeing their fortune.

Luke dealt with the situation in a way that would not affect Jack's work, nor would it affect Queenie. Luca opened her lips slightly and could not help but praise him, "You did a great job."

Luke could not help but smile when he heard her praise.

He closed the page and put his phone on the wireless charging stand on the bedside table. "It's getting late. Let's go to bed."

"Okay." Luca was sleepy too.

Whenever it was at this hour, she would feel sleepy if Luke was by her side.

Luca lay down and Luke lay beside her, hugging her tightly.

After they turned off the lights, there was only the sound of them breathing in the bedroom.

Gradually, Luca fell asleep while being hugged by Luke. She had a pretty good dream.

...

Late at night.

The streets of A City were no longer lively because of the blizzard.

In the alley of a bar street, Jean Langdon was beaten and kicked by several big men who stank of alcohol. He curled up beside the garbage dump, hugged his head, and begged, "Boss, please, stop hitting me. I'm going to die."

The gangster standing behind took a puff of his cigarette and said fiercely, "If you don't pay us back, we'll beat you up every day. Hit him until he pays back the money!"

"Boss, please spare me! I have the money to pay you back," Jean pleaded. His face and body were already bruised all over.

However, no matter how loud his pleas were, they did not arouse the sympathy of passersby.

They were in a hurry because they did not want to get involved.

"If you have money, pay us back!" The lead gangster saw him being beaten but felt that it was not enough, so he stepped forward and kicked him.
