A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

After Luke went down the stairs, he came to the bar and greeted Lorna, who was already sitting on a bar stool, as he took out his bourbon.

Good morning, Lorna.

"morning."

Lorna listlessly rested her chin on her hand and responded with a sound.

Luke poured himself a glass of bourbon.

Bourbon went down.

moment.

Luke felt his energy rapidly returning, and then looked curiously at Lorna, who was sitting on a high stool, resting her chin on one hand and picking at her fruit cereal with a fork in the other. He asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so listless so early in the morning?"

Upon hearing this, Lorna looked up and stared at Luke with a blank expression.

His eyes didn't blink.

My earmuffs broke yesterday.

"so what?"

Luke shrugged.

Seeing this, Lorna didn't say anything. Instead, she silently took out her phone from her pocket, turned it on, clicked on the audio clip recorded in her room at 3:45 a.m., and then selected play.

The sound burst forth instantly from Lorna's phone.

"Who's your father?"

"Who is your daddy!"

"who……"

"Oh!"

With a whoosh, Lu Ke reached out and grabbed the phone from Lorna's right hand, then crushed it on the spot to shut her up completely.

Lorna was stunned.

Hey, my phone!

"I'll buy you a new one."

"...Then I want the latest model."

"Okay, how much?"

"Five thousand!"

Lorna blinked and, without thinking, quoted a price of five thousand US dollars.

Luke nodded, didn't haggle, and vanished instantly. When he reappeared, he had a dozen bundles of Franklin worth ten thousand dollars in his hand.

"Give."

"Wow."

Lorna caught the flying US dollar in disbelief, held it to her nose, smelled the scent of the dollar, then, with a flick of her right hand, split the banknote in two, and looked at Lu Ke curiously: "A new phone costs five thousand, and you're giving me ten thousand, what do you mean by that?"

Luke sipped his bourbon in his glass expressionlessly, his tone calm: "The rest is for your emotional distress, plus you can use this money to buy a better pair of earmuffs."

Lorna beamed with joy and happily put the dozen Franklins she was holding back into her backpack.

It's like Luke has become more energetic with the help of Bourbon.

Lorna seemed to have become more energetic after receiving the ten thousand dollars, and quickly finished off the fruit cereal in her hand.

"correct."

Lorna seemed to have thought of something. After handing the bowl and spoon to Luke behind the bar, she blinked and looked at Luke: "Luke, you know Clarice's new boyfriend, right?"

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow.

"My new boyfriend, the one who's kind of spiritual..."

"We broke up, but that's not important."

Lorna waved her hand, looked at Luke, and said seriously, "What I meant was, I'm seventeen this year, Luke. I understand what you need to know, so you don't need to be so nervous."

Luke glanced at Lorna, his expression somewhat strange.

Tell him directly.

He should call Rachel down now and have her take over the conversation.

but……

"what do you want to say?"

“I mean, I’m not a child anymore, Luke.”

Lorna chuckled, pointing slightly with her right hand at the phone that Luke had just thrown into the trash can, then looked at Luke: "It's just that you and Rachel were too loud with Sykes yesterday, and you accidentally disturbed me. I don't mind."

Speaking of it.

Lorna paused, looked at Luke, and felt quite amazed.

"But, have you always been like this? Really? Don't you ever sleep? Are you made of iron..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Luke couldn't take it anymore. He put the bourbon cup aside, made a fist with his right hand, coughed a few times, and then interrupted Lorna, who was talking more and more wildly.

Lorna looked at Luke with a helpless expression and shrugged.

"I'm really not a child anymore."

"I see."

Luke nodded expressionlessly, looking at Lorna: "But I still don't really want you to talk to me about this kind of topic."

Lorna was curious.

"why not."

"I'm your brother."

"Not related by blood."

Lorna shrugged, then suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Luke: "By the way, Luke, I think I've been thinking about some things again these past few days."

Seeing that the topic had been steered away, Lu Ke breathed a sigh of relief and picked up his wine glass again.

"whats the matter."

“I don’t think I’m Victoria’s daughter.”

"..."

Luke remained silent for a moment, then, under Lorna's gaze, swallowed the wine in his mouth with great effort before looking at Lorna.

"WTF?"

“I’m not joking, I’m really not Victoria’s daughter.”

"……reason."

"My mother seems to have told me something, but no, it wasn't really my mother who said it."

Lorna suddenly remembered this matter when she was bored these past few days.

Lorna sat on a high stool, resting her chin on her hands, and said thoughtfully, "Although Victoria has been in my memory since I was born, I remember one time, I think it was around 2008, when there was the financial crisis, right?"

Luke nodded.

"remember."

“At that time, Victoria’s store was also affected by the financial crisis and was about to go bankrupt, but my mother suddenly took out a sum of money. After that, the two of them seemed to have a fight over the money. I was just listening in from the side.”

Lorna tried hard to recall the scene from that time.

“My mother and Victoria were inside the house at the time.”

"I'm outside."

“Victory’s voice sounded somewhat agitated, saying he wouldn’t use that man’s money.”

"My mother said why not use it, since he owes me this."

“Victory said he didn’t want to be associated with people like him. We have less money, but we have our own way of living.”

"..."

Lorna recalled the scene and, after describing it, looked at Luke: "Lu, are you aware of this?"

Luke sipped his drink, analyzing what Lorna had just said.

The person Victoria and Susanna were talking to was, without a doubt, Old Man.

Susanna's personal estate is worth millions, most of which was transferred from Lao Wan.

Luke already knew this.

But for now.

Luke looked at Lorna, smiled, and said, "I don't know if you're Victoria and Susanna's daughter, but do you know what I know?"

Lorna blinked her eyes as she stared at Luke.

"whats the matter."

"You are my sister."

Lu Ke smiled slightly, stroked Lorna's head, and looked at her: "You suffered a head injury, and you even forgot me. Do you remember me?"

Lorna frowned and swatted away Luke's clutches, then looked at him and said, "I'm not joking, I'm serious. My biological father might not actually be Victoria."

Luke shrugged and looked at Lorna.

Even if what you're saying is true, so what?

Aren't you curious about who my biological father is?

"Not curious."

I already know your father is Magneto, but I don't want you to be curious.
