The policeman did not find any contraband after inspecting the trunk of the car, nor were there any problems with Amur’s documents, so he let him go.
Amur then drove away.
After returning to the apartment, he had to make sure that there were no messages from Abel. Then, he thought to himself that Pierre would have to be locked up for a few days before Abel would make a move.
If he informed the Mallory family too soon, they would not be as anxious, nor would they hand over the money that easily.
Therefore, Abel had to use Pierre to play against the Mallory family, which meant that he should be free for the next few days.
Amur lay on the bed while thinking of the advice Luca gave him today before washing up and lying down again.
After not sleeping at all last night, he practically fell into a deep sleep the moment he came in contact with the bed.
At six o’clock in the afternoon, Luca kept the two reports in her briefcase before clocking off.
Before she got off work, she told Aunt Neile that she would not be home for dinner. She also told Luke that Amur had come back from Russia to talk to her about something and that she would head over to his place, so she would be home late.
Luke read the message without saying anything as if the hostility he had toward Amur before had completely disappeared.
Luca went down to the underground parking lot and asked Warren to drive her to the apartment.
When they got to the nearby supermarket, Luca asked Warren to pull over so she could get some groceries.
Warren was worried that she would not be able to carry everything alone, so he insisted on helping, and Luca let him.
She had already planned out what to cook for Amur beforehand, so she knew exactly what to buy. The moment she walked into the supermarket, she pushed the trolley straight to the fresh produce and meat section.
Warren followed right behind her.
Luca took her time picking out the ingredients as she knew that Amur would still be resting right now, so she was not in a hurry.
Luca was not looking around, so she was not aware that Myra was watching her from a stone’s throw away.
When Myra was entering the fresh produce and meat section, she noticed Luca immediately.
The anger in her heart intensified at the same time.
Brigham and Myra were still giving each other the silent treatment because of Luca, and they had argued at least three times in the past few days. Myra got so angry that she ran back to her parents’ place and waited for Brigham’s anger to subside.
“Myra, what are you looking at?” Myra’s sister-in-law, Alice, caught her staring with hatred in her eyes, so she looked over out of curiosity.
There stood a couple picking out some lettuce.
“Who’s that woman?” Alice asked when she saw them.
“That woman…” Myra clenched her fists as she wished that she could just go up and slap Luca across the face, but she did not dare to.
She had Luke backing her up, so if she did go up to her, Brigham’s career would be over.
“Is that woman someone Brigham is having an affair with?” Alice misunderstood her because of the disgust in her eyes.
When one woman hated another woman this much, there could only be one explanation. Thus, Alice thought that the woman had meddled in Myra’s marriage.
Myra did not spill the beans after she came back home this time around. She just said that she got into an argument with Brigham, so the whole family thought that Brigham had cheated on Myra.
“You said that she’s Luke’s mistress, but the man next to her…” Alice glanced at Warren. He was pretty good-looking, and anyone who did not know them would think that they were just a young couple who came shopping.
“That man is a driver. I saw him open the car door for her at school last time. I can’t believe he’s still protecting her when she’s such a seducer. All the men in this world are obsessed with her!” Myra was furious.
“Sigh, there’s not much you can do. You said that Luke can affect Brigham’s career, so I think you should take this chance to go over and apologize.” Alice persuaded her as their family was counting on Brigham’s business to put food on the table.
Thus, she did not want anything to stop Brigham’s business from booming.
“There’s no way I’m going over there. Brigham should be the one apologizing. If he’s so capable, he can go apologize to Luke himself.” Myra did not want to embarrass herself in front of Luca once again.
“Sigh, you… Can’t you put yourself in Brigham’s shoes? If Luke would’ve easily forgiven you, would Brigham have dragged you to apologize in front of so many parents at the school? Hurry up and go. Don’t come crying out of desperation when Brigham wants a divorce because of this.” Alice was left with no choice.
After saying all that, she even gave her a little push.
Myra staggered a little and walked out before accidentally bumping into the shelf.
When Luca heard the sound of goods falling on the floor, she looked over. When she realized that it was Myra, she frowned.
How long had Myra been spying on her?
Luca picked up a fish and handed it to Warren. “Go weigh it first, then go pay.”
“Yes, Mr. Craw.” Warren took the fish to the supermarket staff.
Myra looked at all the goods on the floor and looked up to meet Luca’s eyes. Before she could say anything, Luca withdrew her gaze and turned to leave.
“Look at her, she’s so arrogant just because she has Luke backing her up!” She could not help but complain to Alice, and the sight of the goods on the floor made her even angrier.
