"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.
