When Luca heard Luke mention Mrs. Jackman's name, she knew that he had looked into her background.

"What did the police say?" asked Luca. She could not help but feel a rush of heat through her body as Luke held her tightly in his arms.

"It's not a serious situation, so she won't get any severe punishment," Luke told her what the police said. Even though Luke was dissatisfied with the outcome, he had no choice but to let the police handle it since that was how the law worked.

"Well, this is normal.” Luca understood the laws of A City. If she was willing to reconcile, Margaret would not face any trouble.

"Margaret's husband, Lonnie, has a project that he wants to collaborate with T Corporation with. He wants us to provide the design drawings,” Luke continued.

"Did it happen?" Luca furrowed her brows as she was worried that Mrs. Jackman's situation would affect their collaboration.

"No. The project manager didn't think highly of that project. Besides, the company has been busy lately. We have no time to take on extra projects." Luke let go of her as he heard footsteps coming from the stairs.

"Alright." Luca took a step back. She also heard footsteps coming from the stairwell. She lifted her head and turned to look at the staircase.

Tommy rubbed his eyes as he made his way down the stairs. His eyes lit up when he saw that Luca had come back home. He scampered over and said, "Ms. Luca, you're back!"

"Yes. Why aren't you in bed yet?" Luca smiled and stroked the child's head caringly.

"I'm thirsty. I wanted to get myself a glass of water," Tommy muttered.

"Okay. Let me get it for you," said Luca. She held the child's hand, lifted her head, and glanced at Luke. Then, she walked into the kitchen.

She poured a glass of water and handed it over to Tommy.

"Thank you, Ms. Luca." Tommy smiled and took the glass of water from her. He gulped down the water and handed the glass back to Luca.

"Done!"

"Go to bed now." Luca stroked the child's head.
