"We can't interfere with other people's business. Let's focus on our work," said Luca as she tucked away her phone and continued with her experiment.

At present, everything Luke did was to vent her frustrations.

She could not retaliate against Karen. It was not because she lacked the ability. It was just that once she took action, it could potentially have significant repercussions.

Luke's actions, on the other hand, could mitigate those repercussions and avoid conflict between the Crawford and Mallory families.

Luca thought that she indeed had the capability, but her abilities still did not match Luke's.

She did not necessarily have to surpass Luke, but sometimes, she needed various abilities to protect herself and her children while supporting Luke.

After Abel got off the plane at A City International Airport, he walked out of the airport and directly got into the car that had been arranged for him.

However, he lacked evidence.

Even though Luca was his subordinate, suspecting someone of betrayal required evidence in the Island of Despair.

Abel had none at the moment. He could discipline Luca, but if news of such a thing spread back to the Island of Despair, it would cause panic and dissatisfaction among the people.

Abel was controlling those people with drugs, but they still had independent thoughts and emotions. Even under the drug's control, they still had their own thoughts and feelings of discontent.
