In the beginning, Shanks agreed to help and even took practical actions. Therefore, the island still needed Shanks' assistance.

"Ivana, tell me, why didn't you report to my people when you came to X City for this networking event?" Abel had no choice but to follow Shanks’ intention. He questioned Luca.

Luca replied, "The people from the Island of Despair are watching me. Isn't it all the same whether I report to you or not?"

Abel's gaze deepened. He lifted his head and grasped Luca's chin, forcing her to meet his eyes.

"Is that your reason for not reporting? Have you forgotten whose side you're on?" Abel sneered.

"Do you think you're still Luke’s woman after returning to his side? Once I tell him everything you've done, do you think he'll still keep you by his side?"

In Abel's perception, Luke was different from other men.

He valued emotions more than others.

Even though others thought he had abandoned his mistreated wife for a younger, prettier woman, they did not know it had always been the same person.

Although Luke did not know Ivana’s true identity was Bianca, the attraction of their souls made him choose her once again.

Still, what did it matter?

Their child was still on the Island of Despair. Hence, there was no way Ivana would tell Luke her true identity.

Therefore, Abel believed that if Luke knew what she had done, he would surely choose his own interests over his emotions.

A man like Luke could not tolerate betrayal from others the most.

Luca secretly let out a sneer. She might have been afraid or worried because of Abel's threats back then.

However, it was different now.

At least she knew that Luke and she were of one mind.
