A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

after awhile.

After Jack and Natasha helped carry the luggage home, they returned to their car and drove towards their apartment.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Natasha thought for a moment, then looked at Jack, who was driving: "Luk just got back, and he's going to Texas again?"

Jack looked at Natasha: "Darling, my original..."

Natasha waved her hand: "I know, what I wanted to ask is, are you going?"

Jack laughed and said, "The boss isn't going to Texas for work or anything, why would I go with him?"

Natasha nodded and said nothing more.

the next day.

After a long night of work, Natasha, full of energy, opened her eyes and immediately got up. She then called Maria Hill to tell her the exciting news she had received.

Hill shuddered upon hearing this.

But soon.

After hearing Natasha recount what Natasha had seen and heard with her own eyes and ears, she calmed down.

“These are all things that Luke told you himself when you were in the car.”

"Correct."

Natasha was somewhat excited: "Commander, the focus is on Texas. Obviously, this is a reason Luke has come up with to go to Texas."

Hill nodded, not denying it.

but……

"Have you ever considered, Natasha, the possibility that Luke knew you were there and deliberately revealed it?"

"this."

"How many smokescreens have Luke and I, through you and Jack, released these days?"

This is another reason why Jack and Natasha didn't face opposition from Luke and Hill when they were together.

The two tested each other through Jack and Natasha, which both Luke and Hill found amusing.

just like……

The two seem to be dating indirectly through Jack and Natasha, and it's a rather unique and intellectually stimulating kind of dating.

Natasha calmed down after hearing that.

"So, this is what Lu Ke deliberately made us think, so that you would send people to follow him after you found out."

"It's possible."

Hill nodded: "But we can't rule out the possibility that Luke is playing a trick."

Again.

Last time it was about using a counter-strategy, and now it's happening again.

Natasha felt a slight itch on her scalp.

"That……"

"Is Jack going?"

"They said they wouldn't go."

"That's it."

Upon hearing this, Hill pondered for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully: "Don't take any action yet, let me think about it."

After saying that, Hill hung up the phone, crossed her arms, rested her chin on them, and began to ponder what move Luke would make and what she should make in return.

three days later.

Hill received Luke's latest message. After reading it, he raised an eyebrow, got up, and left the office.

Rita, the returning assistant, quickly followed.

"commander."

"Come with me to New York."

"Roger that!"

Chapter 463 The Beginning of the Texas Trip

September 1st.

School season.

Columbia University, located on the outskirts of Manhattan's Upper East Side in New York City, also welcomed its new students today.

Of course.

Besides the new students, there were also parents who came specifically to accompany their children because they were worried about them.

Independence, autonomy?

Stop talking.

Federal education costs are very high, and that's why college students who don't receive scholarships have to pay for their own student loans. However, this has been misrepresented as some kind of independent representative.

If they are wealthy, do they need a loan?

No need.

Just like Lorna.

Although Lorna didn't receive a scholarship, she also didn't need to apply for student loans like her classmates.

The answer is that Lorna was originally a wealthy woman.

However, that money was confiscated by Lu Ke, who was still developing at the time.

at the moment.

Return the property to its original owner.

Lorna blinked as she watched Luke, who had accompanied her to complete the enrollment procedures early in the morning, take out a bank card and a set of keys from his pocket and hand them to her.

"What's this."

"Bank card, key."

Luke stood with his hands in his pockets, speaking concisely.

Lorna opened her mouth.

"I'm not an idiot."

"Then you still ask."

"No."

Lorna shook her head, glanced at Rachel who was chatting with a fashionable woman not far away, and then looked at the bank card in her hand: "I mean, why did you give me this?"

Luke shrugged: "This was originally yours."

He simply lacked start-up capital back then, so he temporarily borrowed Lorna's New Year's money.

Now that he's finished developing, he has no interest in keeping the little girl's money.

Lorna seemed to want to say something more.

Luke interrupted her, telling Lorna that her bank card PIN was her birthday, and then pointed to the bunch of keys in his hand, saying, "These keys are the keys to the apartment we stayed in yesterday. Consider it a gift for you."

Lorna froze, staring wide-eyed at Luke.

"elder brother."

"Ok?"

Don't you want me anymore?

"how come."

Lu Ke chuckled upon hearing this, then looked at Lorna, whose eyes were almost filled with tears. Realizing that his tone had been a bit off, he said with a smile, "What are you thinking? I'm giving you this because you're older now and need your own space. Also, I won't be able to go there until the end of the year. If you don't want to stay in the dorm on weekends and holidays, you can go to this apartment building."

Lorna stopped the tears that were about to spill from her eyes, still somewhat doubtful.

"really?"

"Rachel."

Luke shook his head, looked at Rachel who had returned, and pointed at Lorna: "This girl thought we didn't want her anymore."

Lorna quickly looked at Rachel, as if seeking confirmation of something.

Luke spends less time at home than Rachel, and Rachel also tutors him. So, in terms of blood ties, Luke is closer to Rachel than Lorna, but in terms of their relationship, Lorna is closer to Rachel.

Rachel met Lorna's questioning gaze, shoved Luke aside, and then hugged Lorna, saying, "Your brother has never known how to talk, you know that. Don't worry, I don't need your brother, but I won't abandon you."

After some comforting words, Lorna finally believed it.

soon.

The time for parting has come.

Luke, Rachel, and Lorna walked toward the school gate.

Rachel also told Lorna that she had entered Lorna's fingerprints and information into the access control system of the Star Tower apartment building on Fifth Avenue, where they would be moving in at the end of the year. She told Lorna that if she was bored on the weekend, she could help her go there to check on the renovation progress.

Lorna readily agreed.

Although Luke's transfer order has not been officially announced, if Chief John of Quantico is going to joke about this, Luke wouldn't mind playing a fatal joke on him.

and so.

A house in New York is something you have to prepare first.

Yesterday, Luke presented several suitable houses from the estate for Rachel to choose from.

A duplex apartment of 400 square meters.
