Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle
Chapter 3235 Speak Without Holding BackChapter 3235 Speak Without Holding Back
The man who talked to Luca gave the other thug a look.
The other man immediately understood and tried searching for information. However, he could not find anything using A City's intranet.
"Boss, she's just bluffing. There's nothing here!" reported the man as he handed over his phone.
Luca chuckled.
Gerry's expression turned sour. "What's so funny?"
"I'm laughing at how clueless you guys are. You used A City's intranet, didn't you?" asked Luca.
*Is there a difference between the inteand intranet?" Gerry was confused.
Luca was puzzled by the type of people Karen had hired. They seemed less competent than those she had dealt with before.
*I've never heard of intrand internet. Boss, don't let her mess with you," the other man chimed in.
Luca nodded repeatedly.
"Why are you nodding?" Gerry narrowed his eyes and looked at her.
*I'm agreeing with your friend. Satisfied?" Luca was starting to get impatient.
Gerry had a gut feeling she was not lying and continued fiddling with his phone.
Luca then said, "Trying to find information about her? You guys don't even know how to bypass the firewall. Just forget it."
Gerry frowned, unfamiliar with the term "bypass the firewall". He looked it up online and grasped the concept, then glared at Luca.
"Is this woman really who you say she is?" asked Gerry.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt*You can't find anything, but your lady boss can. Tell her what I said, then you can decide how to deal with my friend," Luca said confidently.
Gerry quickly called Karen. "Boss!"
"Did something go wrong?" Karen asked immediately when she answered the call.
She was at the Mallory Estate waiting for someone, but that person was nowhere to be seen. However, she received a call from her subordinates, which made her think something was amiss.
"No, but we took an extra person with us. A foreign student who seems to be friends with the main target," said Gerry.
"Good job!" Karen was pleased. "Now, Luca won't dare act rashly!"
She intended to use the foreign woman as leverage.
Gerry understood what she meant and relayed Luca's words about Vivian's possible connections. "But this student's identity might be complicated..."
Karen's tone turned serious. "Bring them both back first."
"Yes!" Gerry responded and ended the call. He could not be bothered about Vivian's true identity.
After all, this had nothing to do with him. His job was to deliver Luca to Karen and get paid.
Luca saw him hang up, but she did not press for details about Karen's response. She calmly chatted with Vivian in Russian.
"Don't worry, Mr. Crawford will soon realize we're missing, and he'll know who took us," Luca reassured her. Vivian nodded. "I'm not afraid."
*The classes at the university..." replied Luca, looking troubled. As she knew who had kidnapped her, she was not scared but was worried about missing her classes. "What will happen if I miss those classes?"
"They'll probably have make-up classes on Saturday. I've been in a similar situation before where the professor suddenly couldn't make it, so we had a make-up class on Saturday," answered Vivian.
"That's such a hassle," Luca frowned. She hated make-up classes and figured the students would not be thrilled about them either.
Saturdays were meant for rest.
"Your situation might be different, though. Maybe you won't need to make up the classes." Vivian knew Luca did not like make-up classes.
"That would be ideal," said Luca.
After about half an hour, the car arrived at Mallory Estate.
Luca and Vivian were pushed out of the car.
Luca looked around the villa and clicked her tongue. "Madam Mallory really can't bear to see her precious son suffer."
"Why do you say that?" asked Vivian, feeling puzzled.
"We're being kidnapped, but they brought us to Mallory Estate. Once people find out that we've gone missing, this will be the first place they cto check," explained Luca. She was unsure whether to admire Karen's cunningness or criticize her naivety.
Did she really think Luke would not know what was going on?
Karen, having overheard Luca's comments, looked displeased.
She approached and examined Luca before turning her attention to Vivian.
"And you are?" asked Karen.
Vivian did not answer and turned to look at Luca.
Luca asked on behalf of Vivian, "Have you checked her identity?"
Karen frowned.
Luca reminded, "Russian underground organization, Ray Lacroix. You've captured Ray's sister. Madam Mallory, have you thought about the consequences of your actions?"
Karen's expression darkened.
She had never dealt with such people before, but Luca's demeanor made her realize she had indeed crossed paths with someone significant.
Karen looked at Vivian's face and furrowed her brows together.
Her face seemed too ordinary.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKaren could not be bothered about it so much and said firmly, "Dr. Craw, I extended a kind invitation, but you tried to fool me. I had no choice but to get these men to bring you back. I don't care who this woman is. You'll be
performing dry needling on Pierre today!"
She instructed the men, "Take them inside."
"Yes!" The two men escorted Luca and Vivian inside.
"Take them upstairs," added Karen.
"Okay!" The men, eager to follow Karen's orders for the sake of their payment, listened to her instructions.
Luca was roughly led upstairs and nearly tripped on the stairs. She almost fell.
Karen, who was watching nervously, yelled at her subordinates, "Be careful! Don't hurt her!"
Luca let out a cold sneer. She knew Karen was not genuinely concerned about her getting injured but rather worried about her ability to perform the dry needling treatment on Pierre if she were hurt.
Following Karen's directions, the men brought them into the bedroom.
Pierre was sitting by the bed. When he saw Luca, a sinister smile appeared on his face.
*Luca, it's been a long time, greeted Pierre. His tone dripped with malice.
Luca looked at his leg thoughtfully. "It has been a while. I see you've managed to injure your leg in the meantime.
Is it broken? Can you walk now? Is it normal?"
Her comments made Pierre's expression darken!
*Luca!" Pierre clenched his teeth. He was seething with anger and itching to slap her.
*Is there something you need, Mr. Pierre?" Luca remained composed and unbothered, even with her hands bound behind her.
Pierre would love nothing more than to rip her head off. "So, you're feeling pretty smug, huh?"
"Not really. I just think it's quite pathetic that you ended up like this. I warned you before to be careful and not too arrogant. Look at you now. A broken leg.
"Oh, and I remember you had a matchmaker, right? With everything happening, is your matchmaker still around?" Luca aimed to provoke him.
To her, Pierre was essentially useless.
Luca spoke without holding back, especially when dealing with someone she saw as powerless and dependent on her.
