Chapter 3378 This Guy's The Real Deal

Not only did Luke not give in, but he wasn't intimidated by Hera's threats either. Instead, he turned the tables and intimidated her right back.

Gerald could not help but feel a sense of admiration for Luke.

If it had been him in that situation, he would not have had the guts to refuse Hera outright. Even if he did not want to comply, who would dare offend the boss' future wife?

Even though her position was not set in stone, for now, Hera's status remained unshakable.

Yet Luke did not try to curry favor with her. Faced with threats and temptation, he stood his ground, even flipping the situation to intimidate her instead.

Gerald quietly gave a thumbs-up.

*This guy's the real deal," he muttered to himself.

After venting her frustration on the tree, Hera stormed back. Her eyes were red and swollen.

When she came to the second floor, she caught sight of Luca stepping out of the lab with a tray in hand. She quickly approached.

*Stop right there!" Hera snapped sharply.

Luca frowned as irritation bubbled up inside her. Why was Hera here again....

"I'm not feeling well. Where's your doctor?" Hera's initial intent had been to cause trouble, but remembering Abel's warning yesterday, she ultimately chickened out.

Luca gestured toward the lab behind her. "In there."

Hera reached for the door, ready to push it open.

Luca offered a calm reminder, "Knock first. Wait for Mr. Shanks' permission before entering and try to stand by the door when you speak. The equipment inside is critical. If anything gets damaged..."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Hera's temper flared. She was convinced that Luca was subtly mocking her. Did she mean that she was not important enough to be trusted around the lab's valuable equipment?

Even though Luca had meant no harm, Hera twisted the words into an insult.

Hera immediately felt as if her most vulnerable spot had been hit.
