"The project in Europe isn’t a small project. They were interested in working with T Corporation for the design, and they hope that Luke can be involved in this. But T Corporation has a busy schedule and they declined the offer. I promised the client that I could make T Corporation work together with me to get the design drawing. That’s why they gave the project to me,” explained Lonnie as he noticed Louis and Yuri walking out of the house."Come on. Let Louis make a referral." Lonnie urged his wife, who was so close with Susan that even Louis addressed her as Aunt Margaret.Hence, Louis could help to make a referral and arrange a meeting with Luke.With Louis’ help, Lonnie was confident that if he could talk with Luke, the project was bound to succeed. Even if T Corporation was swamped with projects, they could spare some time to help with the design drawing."Stop this nonsense!" Mrs. Jackman refused to do so. She shook his hand off."What’s with the attitude?!" Lonnie thought
"You’re the host," said Luke. When he was in the front yard, those people were only interested in striking up a conversation with Luke. Luke had no choice but to talk to them. It was for the sake of the Crawford family's reputation.However, Louis was the star today.Therefore, Luke seized the opportunity to bring Louis along with him to make them realize who the real star of the show was."Brother..." Louis knew that Luke was doing this for him.Even though his work was stable now, he needed to expand his connections to grow his business. Those people outside were the key to growing his network."Lead us out through the back door," said Luke."Alright." Louis did not say anything when he saw how determined Luke was. He led them to the back door and opened the door for them.“Brother, Dr. Craw, I’m sorry for the inconvenience caused today," Louis apologized again."Hurry back. The guests are still waiting for you in the front yard," replied Luke. He chose to leave through the b
Luke helped Luca to dress her wound without saying anything. Louis turned to Luca and asked for confirmation, "Dr. Craw, is it true?" "Yes." Luca looked down. Louis was Susan’s son. Luca showed him respect and chose not to report it to the police. Still, she felt that Louis deserved to know the truth."Louis," Luke called out to him."Brother, we have to call the police," said Louis. He could not be bothered that Susan was involved in this.Louis felt guilty about the incident earlier, and with the situation Luca was in now, there was no way he could ignore it. He felt that he had to give Luca an explanation."Not now," replied Luke. Considering the numerous guests who came, it would make Louis and the Crawford family look bad if the police came."I’ll feel bad if I don't hand this over to the police," said Louis, insisting on it.Susan and her friends actually embarrassed Luca on such an occasion. Luca was on Luke's side. There was no doubt that she was slapping Luke’s face.
Susan eventually took her phone out after Mrs. Malcolm urged her to hurry up. She tried to call the security guard who was responsible for the villa’s security, hoping to have them delete the surveillance footage. However, before anyone could answer the call, Susan saw Luke walking toward them with Luca by his side. Then, she muttered to herself, "It's too late."Mrs. Jackman and Mrs. Malcolm noticed Luke's arrival. The expressions on their faces turned ugly. Indeed, it was too late. Once Luca told Luke about this, who would dare to delete the surveillance footage?"Madam Crawford, can’t you delete the surveillance footage yourself?" asked Mrs. Jackman.Mrs. Jackman did not plan to confront Luke head-on. Her plan was to teach Luca a lesson, accuse her of theft, and make her apologize to Susan. However, when she saw Luca's youthful and beautiful face, it reminded her of her husband's mistress. She lost her temper and threw a teapot full of boiling hot tea at her."I'm not fami
Mrs. Jackman looked at Luca coldly, noticing how calm she was. After all, it was just an excuse to make things difficult for Luca. Mrs. Jackman could understand why Luca was so composed while facing such a situation."Hand it over now if you’re the one who took it," urged Mrs. Malcolm. She was not particularly interested in framing someone. Still, she wanted to watch the drama unfold."Madam Crawford suspects that I took it just because I went into the house with the child to use the bathroom?" asked Luca."Who else could it be if it wasn’t you?" Susan interjected."There are so many people here. Many of them would have gone into the house to use the bathroom. Madam Crawford, are you planning to interrogate them all? If so, I can help you pull up the surveillance footage at the garden and check who went into the house. Then, we can have them answer questions individually and figure out who took your necklace," Luca calmly suggested. If she knew that Susan was waiting for her in the
“So what? What could he do to me when I’m saying the truth? If he dares to mess with me, I’ll tell the media everything!” Mrs. Jackman looked disgruntled.Although the Jackman family’s company was not as successful as T Corporation, Mrs. Jackman believed that she had something on Luke.These people usually kept their mistresses discreet and away from the media.There were no media on an occasion like today, and everyone here was a close acquaintance. They were also in business partnerships, so they would not disclose anything to the media.Mrs. Jackman reckoned that Luke dared to have Luca accompany him because of that.An idea popped into Susan’s head when she heard Mrs. Jackman’s words, so she pretended to empathize with her. “Mrs. Jackman, I really admire you for being so brave.”“Oh, it’s nothing. What bravery are you talking about? That sl*t has to pay for what she did.” Mrs. Jackman had never even interacted with Luca before, but because Susan led her astray, her hatred for
Rainie followed her obediently, and all she could think about was their conversation just now.Although they were speaking softly behind her, she could still hear them clearly because of her excellent hearing.Rainie looked up at Luca and saw her cold expression. She did not display any feelings of sadness or anger.“Don’t be sad, Ms. Luca,” said Rainie.“Did you hear everything?” Luca paused and looked down at Rainie.She thought that the kid would not be able to hear them when they were speaking in low voices.Little did she know, Rainie heard everything.Rainie nodded and said, “I heard it all, and I think that what she said was wrong. You’re the best in the entire world, Ms. Luca. You’re not a mistress!”She knew what mistress meant at such a young age.Her classmates were all from wealthy families, and such families often had third parties involved. Thus, she often heard her classmates talk about their dads having a mistress.Over time, she found out what the word ‘mistr
Old Master Crawford never mentioned Susan’s matter again after that.He looked in Luke’s direction.The person sitting next to Luke was Luca and his three children.When they were in the backyard, Luke invited him to a secluded corner and told him something. After Old Master Crawford listened to what he said, he finally understood that Luke was not an unfaithful man. Even though the real Bianca had been missing for three years, there was no way he could have moved on. Luke’s father, Zachary, and Luke were completely different. Zachary cheated on his wife, but Luke was the one who truly remained faithful to his wife. It was because Luca’s real identity was Bianca.Old Master Crawford was shocked when he heard this. However, he was reminded of how Luke had cared for Luca. That explained why Luke had been behaving that way.He did not expect Bianca to change a lot three years after she was abducted.She changed her name and her appearance, and she learned a lot about medicine…
