"Mrs. Norman, keeping Ms. Norman locked up like that isn't a good idea. She has poor
health, and we don't even know if she's taking her medicine properly," the maid expressed
her concern.
The pills were pushed through the hole in the door every day. However, did Leia really take
them?
"Ah, Mr. Noman didn't say anything about it, so we can't release her now." Queenie felt
troubled. Leia's incessant use of vulgar language gave her a headache as well.
After Leia returned the supplements she had sent, Queenie became disheartened and
decided to follow Jack's advice.
Jack said that he wanted to keep Leia in the Norman Residence. Queenie agreed with him
as she understood his intentions. She forced herself to muster the determination to do so.
The maid could not help but express her thoughts, "I wonder how long Mr. Norman intends
to keep Ms. Norman locked up."
Queenie remained silent.
Jack told her that keeping Leia confined was necessary as they waited for Luke to collect
the evidence. The evidence would prove whether Leia was truly involved in this matter.
If Leia was involved in this, she would be sent to the police station.
If she had nothing to do with it, she could continue staying at the apartment, and the
Norman family would still take care of her.
The maid was unaware of this. She only thought that Leia had displeased Jack and that
was why she was being punished.
As Queenie fell silent, the maid suggested, "Mrs. Norman, why don't you talk to Mr.
Norman and let Ms. Norman out once she's been punished enough?"
Queenie looked at the maid and shook her head repeatedly.
Worried that she might secretly release Leia, Queenie reminded her, "This is Mr. Norman's
decision.
Don't secretly let her out."
"Mrs. Norman, you can rest assured. I won't do anything without Mr. Norman's orders, and
besides, Ms. Surabaya is watching too," reassured the maid. The maid heard them saying
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthat Surabaya was Leia's caretaker at the hospital on the first day she returned home.
Now, Surabaya was standing outside Leia's bedroom like a bodyguard.
No matter how badly Leia scolded her, she remained unfazed as though she was used to
being scolded.
"Surabaya is dedicated to her job. By the way, I heard the weather forecast saying there'll
be a slight temperature drop tonight. Make sure to give her a thicker blanket," Queenie
remembered and instructed the maid.
She had initially arranged for Surabaya to stay in the guest room, but she insisted on
sleeping on the sofa to keep an eye on Leia. There was nothing Queenie could do about it.
"Understood, Mrs. Norman," replied the maid as she noted the task assigned to her.
Night fell, and Luca walked out of the bathroom after showering. Luke was already leaning
against the edge of the bed with a laptop resting on his thigh.
The room was brightly lit, accentuating the man's features. She could not help but glance
at him a few more times.
"I have two recordings for you to listen to. Come and sit here." Luke patted the spot on the
bed.
"What recordings?" Luca's curiosity was piqued as she walked over and sat down.
Luke took her hand and pressed it against his lips, giving it a kiss.
Luca's face reddened, and she tried to pull her hand away, but he held it tightly.
She pouted playfully and said, "Didn't you say there are recordings?"
Luke smiled and pressed the play button.
Mandy's voice came through the phone. Her voice was trembling in fear as she said, "My
name's Mandy..."
Luca furrowed her brows as she listened to the recording, which confessed Matysh's
involvement in the hired hitman case.
There was also the accusation against Leia. Mandy also provided the police with more
evidence regarding the case.
"And here's the other one." Luke played the next recording.
It was a conversation. After a couple of lines, Luca immediately recognized Mandy's and
Matysh's voices.
After hearing the content, Luca deduced, "This must be Mandy asking Matysh for the
money. Is this after the incident at the Norman Residence?"
"Yes. It was after you and Rain took care of the people sent by the underworld who fell into
the hands of the police. Mandy went to ask Matysh for money and recorded this
conversation," explained Luke. It was all Mandy's confession.
Rain was quite surprised when she received this recording. Hence, she immediately sent it
to him.
With this recording and Mandy's confession, they could put Matysh, Mandy, and Leia all
behind bars.
“This time, Ms. Norman..." Luca furrowed her brows again, hoping that Leia would face
appropriate punishment.
However, would Jack and Queenie really let her go to prison?
"She will definitely go to prison," Luke answered her question.
Leia had long lost Jack's affection. Queenie was also disappointed when she found out
about Leia's involvement in this matter.
"Will Ms. Norman's imprisonment have an impact on the Norman family?" Luca asked
again.
"No, don't worry," Luke shook his head. After he had Jack's permission, he had been
orchestrating a campaign online.
Jack was Jack, and Leia was the daughter he kindly adopted. However, Leia no longer
deserved the love of the Norman family.
Therefore, Jack and Leia were two separate individuals.
Jack raised Leia and provided her with many resources in the past, fulfilling his obligations.
Luca did not pay much attention to the online comments, but when she heard that it
would not affect Jack, she let out a sigh of relief.
Jack was an upright official. The Norman family's accumulated wealth was from the old
master; it was not built by Jack himself.
If such a virtuous official who served the people were to be dragged down by Leia, it would
be unfair!
Luca looked at Luke with teary eyes and asked, "When will Rain hand this recording over
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto the police?"
He had entrusted Rain to handle these matters now as Gale had been posing as Marcos
and could not extricate himself. He was unable to do many things.
"Mandy has been held for a few days and has some rope marks on her body," said Luke.
Although Rain was the one handling these matters, she reported every detail. "We'll wait a
couple more days before sending her to the police."
Once they sent her to the police station, Mandy would be sentenced, and the matter
concerning the Norman family would be completely resolved.
Luca let out a sigh of relief. Thankfully, it was not her who had caused trouble for Jack and
Queenie.
When Jack and Queenie were frightened and hospitalized, Luca had always felt guilty,
believing that she had led those people into the Norman Residence.
However, Mandy's recording made her realize that if it were not for Leia's malicious
intentions, Jack and Queenie might not have been implicated in this matter at all.
It was Jack's home. Who would dare to cause trouble there?
"One more thing," added Luke as he looked into her teary eyes. He leaned forward
slightly, closing the gap between them.
"Huh?" Luca looked at him in confusion.
"Ambrose confessed as well. He said that throwing acid at you was an act of revenge, but
it was also orchestrated by someone. We followed the lead and discovered that the person
behind it was Leia," said Luke. As soon as Rain looked into Ambrose's bank account, they
found something.
Even though Leia carefully transferred the money multiple times before it ended up in
Ambrose's account, she transferred it at the same time, which aroused Rain's suspicion.
Although it could not be considered conclusive evidence of their collusion, it was a fact
that Leia had colluded with Matysh, so she was definitely going to prison. Ambrose would
also be imprisoned for attacking Luca with acid.
Knowing that the person behind Ambrose would also face imprisonment, the investigation
into this matter ceased.
Luca let out a long sigh, expressing her long-standing question, "Why did she cling to me
and not let go?"
