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
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.
"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
"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
“She said that Mother was looking for me.” Yuri did not try to hide it.Louis had a pensive look on his face but immediately went back to greeting guests with a smile when he noticed them walking toward him.Yuri was keeping an eye on Margaret while standing beside Louis.Margaret’s eyes were bloodshot as she stood in the corner without talking to anyone.After a while, Yuri noticed that her expression instantly changed when she glanced at her phone and left in a hurry.Yuri said to Louis, “Mrs. Jackman left.”Louis walked toward the door and saw Margaret leaving before whispering, “Did you tell her?”“What are you talking about? I’ve been with you the entire time, so how could I have talked to her?” Yuri denied.She just wanted to save Margaret some face and not let Luke cause trouble in her house.Besides, this was their new home, and they just moved in today. How could they let the police come over?Louis did not say a word.On the other hand…Luke brought Luca and the c
“Of course, you’re welcome. Have a seat. Do you want tea or juice?” Luca asked. She knew that Nina had trouble sleeping, so she forwent coffee as an option because it was already late in the afternoon.“I’ll have juice,” said Nina.“Alright, one moment. I’ll go to the kitchen to see if there are any snacks I can bring you.” Luca nodded and walked into the kitchen. She had the maid squeeze some juice, while she brought out some snacks to the living room and placed them in front of Nina.“The juice will be done in a bit. Why don’t you try the snacks first?” she said.“Sure, I haven’t had lunch yet, so I’m a bit hungry.” Nina picked up a piece and helped herself.“Why didn’t you have lunch?” Luca asked out of curiosity.Nina swallowed a mouthful of the snacks before taking her time to explain, “I planned to go to Mr. Louis’ house directly so that we could make it for the luncheon, but Percy had an emergency meeting, so we stopped by the Mallory family’s place. The meeting went on fo
She knew them too well.Anna knew how to manage her finances. She would make some investments and keep the money in the bank to earn some interest. That way, it would be enough to support Jean and Anna for the rest of their lives.However, if the money fell into Jean's hands, it would be easily squandered. Even though they had signed an agreement, Jean probably felt that he had the Mallory family backing him up after Nina and Percy announced their marriage to the public. Therefore, he had no idea how to manage his money wisely. Nina knew them too well."Anyway, you’re finally living a new life," exclaimed Luca. It had been so many years, and Nina had been through a lot. "By the way, how’s your wedding preparation?""I'm still going through the details with the wedding planner, but I also plan to take my wedding photos. Oh, and can I have Tommy be my ring bearer?" asked Nina. She had friends who had kids, and she planned to choose either Kari or Teri to be her flower girl. In th
Abel was determined to win this game.It was not just about achieving a crushing victory. He also wanted to win decisively and get everything he wanted. Luca understood that, but she could not help Percy this time. Luca knew that Abel had Pierre locked up in X City. She could easily find Abel's stronghold if she wanted to. However, she would only expose herself if she did that.Luca was relieved when she knew Abel was busy with other things at the moment. He did not have time to interfere with her affairs. She did not want to put herself in the forefront again just because of Pierre. After all, she had her motives. She wanted to spend as much time as possible with Luke and their children. Furthermore, Abel still needed Pierre to get money. He would not kill him.Also, Pierre needed to be taught a lesson. He had done so many evil things and evaded his responsibilities knowing that the Mallory family would back him up. It would be unfair if he was unpunished. Luca would ha
