Chapter 3452 Why They're Helping Her To Cover This Up

"I'm just making plans with a friend. No need to go into all that, right?" As Luca said, she lifted her gaze to meet Shanks.

His eyes were as deep as the ocean, and in that split second of eye contact, she felt like she was being pulled in. She suddenly felt like she had just exposed herself.

Awkwardly, she cleared her throat and said, "Mr. Shanks, I'll head downstairs to make lunch."

Shanks did not call her out on it, nor did he press further. He simply returned to his experiment.

Downstairs, Luca saw Abel sitting on the living room couch. Ignoring him was not an option. Luca greeted him politely, "Mr. Abel."

Abel took a slow drag from his cigar, his blue eyes scanning her from head to toe. He was deep in thought.

He remained silent, seemingly deep in thought. His dark and brooding expression sent a

chill down Luca's spine. Without saying a word, she turned around and walked straight into the kitchen.

Gerald was already inside.

When he saw her, he mouthed, "You're here?"

Luca nodded.

He leaned in and asked in a hushed tone, "Ms. Craw, are you making lunch?"

"Yes." Luca took out the ingredients.

Gerald had ordered them through the grocery app.

"Is the boss still out there?" Gerald asked in a low voice. He was afraid Abel would overhear.

"He is," Luca replied in her usual tone, making no effort to be quiet.

She knew something Gerald did not.

People from the Island of Despair had exceptional hearing due to their specialized training.

Abel, in particular, could hear everything. The kitchen was not far from the living room, and with no soundproofing, whispering would not help. If they made a sound, he would pick up on it.
