Chapter 3355 Abel Won't Spare Her Or Her Child

Abel's eyes glinted with amusement. "What do you think?"

Luca bit her lip, feeling powerless against the threat.

Abel rose to his feet, took a puff of his cigar, and blew a smoke ring toward her face. "I know what you're thinking. If you don't go, don't blame me for being hard on your child. She's so frail. How long do you think she can hold up against those other kids?"

He said it in such a chilling tone that Luca seemed to envision her child being bullied. Her heart could not help but tremble. "I'll go."

Abel showed no sign of satisfaction despite her answer. Instead, his gaze grew darker.

Truth be told, he despised everything related to Luke. If it were not for the leverage the child gave him over Luca, he might have already acted against the child.

"Luca, behave yourself. Don't play any tricks. If something goes wrong this time, even if there's no proof it was you, I won't let you off the hook." Abel patted Luca's face with both hands.

The pat was not hard. Her face did not hurt or swell, but a cold, chilling sensation spread from her face through her whole body.

Abel was waming her.

Luca knew that if anything went wrong now, whether it was her fault or not, Abel would not spare her or the child. She could not afford to lose her child. In this moment of despair, Luca realized she had no choice but to obey Abel.

No matter what Luke might have up his sleeve to deal with Abel, as long as her child was in Abel's hands, she had no choice but to comply with him.

She felt utterly drained. Her words lacked their usual confidence. "I need a reason to leave."
