Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle -
Chapter 1174 Someone From The Island of Despair
Luca disguised herself with the cap and mask before walking out of the side door. She noticed a few reporters who were still stubbornly standing at the entrance.
She shook her head helplessly. Even after waiting for an entire day, they still would not give up. Any news involving Luke Crawford was of great value in their eyes.
Luca hailed a taxi after walking up the road. She was not in a hurry to go home. She had somewhere else to be.
The taxi drove for a full hour before reaching the place.
It was a relatively remote spot in A City. Luca looked around before getting out of the car. It was peak hour, so it would not be easy for her to get another taxi in this area.
She gave the driver an extra sum of money and asked him to wait for her here.
The driver was happy with the offer. He nodded and promised to wait for her at the same spot. Luca got out of the car. The address given by Amur led her to a private property 50 meters away. She looked around. Most of the houses here did not have the lights on.
These houses were old and owned by locals in A City. However, these houses were rented out a long time ago, so some foreigners lived here now.
It was right after work, and there was a certain distance between the industrial area and the commercial area. Hence, there were fewer people around.
It was better that there were fewer people. Luca walked to the residential house, raised her hand, and knocked on the door.
After a while, a man’s voice was heard. "Who is it?"
"Hello, I'm here to deliver your food. Please come out and get it," Luca said as she quietly put her hand into her bag.
After a while, the man's voice replied, "We didn't order takeaway, you made a mistake.”
"I have the address here. Mr. Liam is the one who ordered the food. Please come out and get it," Luca said. She knew the reporter's name after reading the article.
After half a minute, the door opened. Luca smiled and took out the knife from her bag before kicking the door open.
The man behind the door was stunned and took two steps back.
"Who are you?" The man realized that this visitor did not have good intentions. He immediately rolled up his sleeves and clenched his fists.
Luca's eyes fell on the tattoo on his arm. She then raised her brow.
"My name is Ivana,” she said.
The man frowned. “lvana? The name seems familiar.’ Before he could react, Liam walked out and asked, "Takeout?"
Luca's gaze fell on Liam and she sneered
"Ger in!" The man thought that the woman in front of him was here for Liam and immediately yelled at him.
Liam shuddered when he saw Luca holding a sharp knife and immediately walked into the house. Luca looked at the man and said in Russian, "I'm from the Island of Despair."
"I don't know what you're talking about,” the man answered in Russian.
"The tattoo on your arm tells me that you know what I'm talking about.” Luca's slender fingers glided over the sharp blade, but she was not cut.
The man sat down and wanted to figure out if the person in front of him was setting him up.
Luca moved the short knife in her hand in front of him, and the words on the hilt were displayed in front of him
It was a weapon from the Island of Despair!
"You're on the boss’ assignment?" the man asked in a low voice after confirming that she was from the Island of Despair.
"No, I have something I need to deal with today." Luca took off her mask. "Do you recognize me?" "I don't know you.” The man frowned. There were so many people on the Island of Despair that it was impossible for him to know everyone.
"I'm the protagonist in his article.” Luca's blade pointed toward the door. Liam was poking out half of his head. When he saw Luca's blade pointing at him, he immediately retracted it.
She did not have to look but the blade was pointing straight at where he was standing. Liam trembled with fright.
He was wondering what they were talking about but he did not understand Russian.
"This..." The man’s brows were knitted together. He knew what Liam had done.
"Who asked you to protect him?" Luca asked.
"I can't tell you.” The man refused to say who was behind it.
Luca had a rough idea. She smiled and asked, "The other party is also from the Island of Despair?” The man did not answer.
"It's okay if you don't tell me. You're tasked to protect him, but are you aware that it has caused me a lot of trouble? The boss asked me to go undercover and join Watson Biopharmaceuticals, but this article is very unfavorable to my mission. If the Crawford family is pissed, they can fire me at any time and dig into me. The boss took a lot of effort to get me into Watson Biopharmaceuticals yet you're working with this reporter to disturb me. If I fail my mission, are you going to take responsibility?” Luca scolded him. Even though he did not tell her, she knew in her heart who was behind it.
She knew when she saw the tattoo on the man's arm, but she was surprised that the person would actually do this.
"This is also the boss" order!" The man frowned.
"Would the boss cause trouble for his own people?” Luca asked back. "Was it the boss or someone else who instructed you to do this? Have you ever asked?"
The man kept silent.
"When you left the island, the boss asked you to work for her, but what she’s doing now is messing up my mission. If I report this to the boss, what do you think he'll say? If he finds out that she made the decision to mess with me without his approval, neither of you can escape punishment,” Luca threatened him.
She knew that this matter must have nothing to do with Abel. If he wanted her to leave Watson Biopharmaceuticals, he would not have Shanks go through so much trouble to give her the research formula.
He could have just applied for patents for these studies and started his own pharmaceutical company.
"I will tell the boss about this. If you're telling the truth, I'll not protect this reporter any longer," the man said.
"Very well. Once you confirm that what I said is true, you don't need to protect him anymore. Be nice and help the Crawford family find this reporter, will you?" Luca said.
"Mm." The man nodded.
Luca put away the knife and put on her mask. "You should go ask him now. After verifying my words, I'm confident that you'll know what to do. If this matter goes on for two more days, my job will be as good as gone. When the time comes, all of Abel's hard work will be wasted. Enjoy explaining it to him then."
She left after she said that.
The door behind her was closed, and Luca heard the roar of the man.
She calmly walked to where the taxi was parked. As the sun went down, darkness began to spread. If all went well, this would end tonight.
Without the help of this man, Bianca would not have been able to cause so much trouble. The man had been spending so much time with Bianca and forgot who he took orders from.
Bianca became jealous and forgot about her mission.
