Chapter 3107 Romantic Relationship

Luca had a quick thought and realized that this might be Gerald deliberately stalling for time.

Even if Luke suspected Stan, with the police intervening, they would not be able to look into Stan so quickly.

The point was how Gerald believed doing this would be effective.

From the police's perspective, Luke was the victim in this case.

"Are you going to the police station later?" asked Luca. If the police called, they would want Luke to cooperate with the investigation. "If it's urgent, I'll fry you some eggs."

"Not at all. Gale went to the police station this morning to explain the situation. The police will come here later to take photos for evidence,” replied Luke.

Gale rushed to the police station early in the morning to inform them of the millions of dollars of damages to the car.

When the police learned this, they said they would send someone to collect evidence.

When the two thieves were caught, they were not wearing gloves. Therefore, when the police came to the scene later, they would surely be able to collect fingerprints from the car belonging to Jason and Harold.

"Alright," replied Luca. She felt less anxious when she heard this.

She took out Luke's suitcase and said, "Let me pack your things first."

"Sure, I'll help you," Luke nodded with a smile. The two of them helped each other out, and soon, they had the clothes packed up neatly.

The rest were the laptops and other items that could be carried with them. They did not put them in the suitcase but beside it to avoid forgetting them when they left.

Once everything was packed, the takeout arrived.

When Luca was about to get it, Luke said, "I'll get it. Go prepare the cutlery.”

"Okay." Luca turned around and walked into the kitchen.

After a while, Luke came in carrying the takeout. As he watched Luca set up the table, a touch of tenderness flashed across his eyes. "Food's here."

"Let's have breakfast first. The police should be here soon." Luca took the takeout from him, opened the containers, and poured them out.

She had ordered the local pasta dish here. They sat down at the table to eat breakfast.

The pasta tasted good. Luca ate a lot, and Luke finished his portion entirely.

When Luca was about to tidy up the table, Gale walked in. "Boss, Ms. Craw, good morning."

"Good morning, Mr. Gale.” Luca smiled. The surveillance inside the house had already been turned on, so Gale's address to her had changed to be more formal.

Gale nodded in response and then turned to look at Luke. "Boss, the police are here."

"Okay." Luke rose to his feet and said to Luca, "I'll be right back.”NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Luca nodded in understanding.

It was just cooperating with the police to give a statement. She was not worried about it. They had already sorted things out almost perfectly yesterday, so according to what they discussed last night, the police would not be able to find any loopholes.

When Gale heard this, he added, "Um, the police also want Ms. Craw to give a statement.”

"Why?" Luca was surprised. Did Gerald implicate her when he called the police?

This should not be happening...

She did not do Gerald any favors yesterday, so he was probably very unhappy about it. However, no matter how upset he was, Gerald should not be foolish enough to cause trouble for her.

If Abel found out about this, Gerald would definitely be in trouble.

"The police said since you were also at the scene, they'd need your statement too. They'd like to record statements separately in two different rooms," said Gale helplessly.

Luca heaved a sigh when she heard this.

Giving a statement was not a big deal, but it was indeed bothersome.

As Luca was pondering, several police officers walked in. "Hello, we're here to take your statements. Could you please cooperate?”

Luke's expression remained cold and unchanged. He nodded slightly.

"To avoid unnecessary trouble, your statements need to be taken in separate spaces..." added the police officer.

"I'll go outside," suggested Luke, letting Luca use the living room.

Two police officers nodded and followed Luke out of the living room

The remaining two officers were responsible for recording Luca's statement.

Gale said to Luca, "Ms. Craw, please give your statement here. I'll go outside to check on how the police are collecting evidence and also to arrange for the tow truck to take the car for repairs later.” "Okay. Thank you." Luca nodded in acknowledgment. She then turned to the two police officers and said, "Let's move to the living room."

The two officers did not say anything and followed Luca to the living room.

Luca invited them to sit down.

After they sat down, she sat opposite them.

The police officers opened their recording pens and notebooks. They began to question Luca. "Ms. Craw, as one of the witnesses to last night's events, we need your cooperation in providing a statement for our investigation. Shall we begin now?"

"Yes, we can start." Luca nodded.

This was not her first time giving a statement. The conversation with Luke last night had given her an idea of how to handle this.

The police officer started, "May I know what your relationship is with Mr. Luke Crawford?"

"We're in a romantic relationship," answered Luca without a change in the look on her face. Since Luke had already disclosed her true identity to their family and close friends, there was no need to feel guilty about stating it to the police.

Besides, she did not need to mention her and Luke's relationship as employer and employee as the police would not believe it anyway.

Moreover, the police had professional ethics. Even if they were surprised and felt like this was juicy gossip material, they would not simply disclose such information to others.

They would only disclose some details related to the case. They would not reveal anything that should not be disclosed.

The two police officers exchanged glances with each other. Over the years, they had handled many cases and encountered many relationships like this, but none of the people were as calm as Luca

It was as though this romantic relationship was as legitimate as a marital one and there was nothing wrong with it.

A police officer tried to verify things, asking, "When you said a romantic relationship, are you referring to..."

"Mr. Crawford is married, but we're currently in a romantic relationship. But does our relationship have anything to do with this case?"

Luca interjected, "If you doubt the truthfulness of what I'm saying because of my relationship with Mr. Crawford, then there's no need for us to continue with this statement, is there?"

The police officers exchanged glances. Indeed, that was what they were thinking.

However, they were working at the moment. They had to maintain a fair and impartial attitude toward everyone. Just because the woman in front of them was Luke's secret lover, that did not mean they should judge her unfairly.

"Ahem, Ms. Craw, every question we ask has its necessity. Please continue to cooperate with our work," explained the officer.

Luca nodded, waiting for their next question.

The police began questioning about the events of last night.

Luca then proceeded to recount to the police. She told them the same things she told Gerald. She explained that thieves had broken into the old mansion to steal last night. Luke went downstairs to check. As he had instructed her to stay in the bedroom, she was unaware of what happened downstairs.

"Then how did you end up downstairs later?” the police asked again.
