Jack knew what Old Master Crawford's intentions were by giving him the kolinsky sable paintbrushes at this timing. He nodded and accepted the gift. "Please thank Old Master Crawford for me. When Queenie feels better, our families should have a meal together.""Sounds good," Luke nodded.Old Master Crawford knew that Jack would do better than ever after he returned to politics, so T Corporation would be riding on his wave then.The caretaker walked over with a bowl of herbal concoction and said softly, "Madam, the concoction is ready."Queenie smiled and picked up the bowl. She chose to gulp it all down in one sitting instead of drinking it sip by sip because the concoction was bitter. After she finished it, she frowned slightly as she could still taste the bitterness of the concoction in her mouth.The nanny handed her a piece of candy and said, "Madam, you’ll feel better if you eat something sweet."Queenie shook her head to turn her down.Luke asked, "Mother-in-law, how do y
"Visit Leia?" Bianca frowned and thought of Leia.She had never been in contact with Leia but she learned a lot about her from documents. She felt neutral toward her so-called sister.‘She’s still thinking about Leia? Is she stupid?’Bianca looked down on Queenie’s benevolence, but on the surface, she smiled slightly and said, "Mom, let’s have Dad decide on this matter."Based on what she read on the documents, Jack was the one who sent Leia abroad.At that time, Leia refused to leave A City and made a big fuss before she was sent abroad. Since she left, Leia had been trying to figure out a way to come back.Jack and Luke were getting in the way of it, so Leia never had a chance to return.Bianca was surprised to hear that Leia found a partner abroad and wanted Queenie to visit.It seemed to her that the engagement was fake and just a part of Leia’s plot.When she heard Bianca’s reply, Queenie sighed and said in a melancholic tone, "Your father is still angry… I can't persuade
Queenie heard what he said and fell into a daze. ‘Yes, this was the path that Leia chose. However, if I had paid more attention to her, she might not have embarked on this path.’Bianca stood aside, watching indifferently. The night was her best cover, and no one noticed the mockery in her gaze.She realized that there was a reason why she did not like Queenie.In addition to the indifference she felt for her blood-related family, she thought that Queenie was too soft and kind. Someone like Leia had Queenie easily wrapped around her fingers.If it were her...The mockery in Bianca's gaze grew stronger. ‘If I cried in front of her, would she cry to Luke on my behalf?’Luke said, "Mother-in-law, we’re heading off now.""Okay, drive safe." Queenie turned around in a daze and walked back to the house.Looking at her desolate figure, Luke bent over and sat in the passenger seat with a cold expression.Bianca sat in the driver's seat and drove back to Crawford Manor.After gettin
"Yeah, I was on a video call with Tommy," Luca said as she walked to the living room. She picked up a glass of water and finished drinking it.Amur knew that Tommy was her son.He felt a little more relaxed knowing that the person she was on a call with was her son. When he saw her finish her glass of water, he asked, "Are you going to the banquet tomorrow?""Abel asked me to go, so I don’t have a choice." Luca knew that Abel was somehow involved in why Luke asked her to attend.Amur kept silent.Luca asked, "Did you prepare what I asked you to?""It's on the sofa." Amur jerked his chin to point at the sofa. Luca saw a box on the sofa and smiled. She did not have time to pick a dress so she got Amur to help."Thanks." She did not open the box and walked straight to the bedroom."Do you want to try it on?" Amur asked."No." Luca shook her head, then suddenly turned to look at him. "When are you going on your mission?""The day after tomorrow," Amur said."Okay." Luca nodded
Tommy took out the charging cable and broke into a smile the moment the tablet’s screen turned on.Lanie looked at his brother's appearance and shook his head helplessly. "In the future, don't bother Daddy when he’s resting.""If Daddy hadn't taken my tablet away, I wouldn't have bothered him!" Tommy sat in a chair and waited for the tablet to charge before turning it on.Lanie was a little baffled by what Tommy said and asked, "Why did Daddy take your tablet?""I don't know, maybe he was playing games. He used it until it was out of battery. It was full last night!" Tommy complained angrily. It was because he remembered fully charging the tablet that he thought it was broken when it did not turn on. Lanie raised his eyebrows. ‘How is it possible that Dad took a kid’s tablet to play games?’After charging, the tablet turned on automatically.Tommy watched eagerly. After the tablet was turned on, he clicked on the album and smiled when he saw that Luca's photos were still in it.
Tommy pouted and felt dejected when he heard Lanie’s reply. Old Master Crawford chimed in and said happily, "It’s okay, Tommy. Don’t go with them. Should we go fishing instead?"Although Tommy was naughty and lively, he loved fishing. When he heard that Old Master Crawford was going to take him fishing, his eyes lit up as he nodded quickly.Even after breakfast, Luke had not come downstairs.Old Master Crawford asked, "Why isn't Luke down yet?"The butler replied, "Old Master Crawford, Young Master Luke is still resting."Lanie answered, "Great-grandpa, Dad worked until late into the night yesterday. Let him sleep for a little while longer.""That’s not true! Dad took my tablet to play games until late last night. That’s why he can't get up now. He’s a lazy bum!" Tommy complained when he thought of how his father had confiscated his tablet and used it all night till it ran out of battery."..." Lanie did not refute. He looked at his younger brother's silly appearance and sighe
If she could figure out the formula, she, Amur, and Eler stood a better chance of surviving...Luca put the tube away. When she walked out of the alley, she saw Bianca driving away.She glowered at her. Only when Bianca’s car was far away did Luca pick up the phone and call for an Uber.They were close to the suburbs, so it was not as easy to get a car.After the driver accepted the order, Luca put her phone back in her pocket.She heard a squeak from behind and turned her head. The man in charge of dispensing the antidote came out."You haven't left?" The man had a wide smile on his face as he checked Luca out. He thought that the woman in front of him was hot and better-looking than Bianca."I’m waiting for my ride." Luca was so disgusted with his gaze that she turned around to stop looking at him.The man approached her and said, "It’s hard to get a ride here. I’ll drive you?""No." Luca felt him approaching and impatiently took two steps away from him. "Don't come near me.
Crawford Manor.After she drank the antidote, Bianca was not in the mood to hang around outside so she drove back home. She walked into the living room and saw Luke sitting on the sofa. The financial news was playing on the TV but he did not seem to be paying any attention to it.She smiled and approached him, sitting next to him. "Luke."Luke came back to his senses and looked at the woman next to him. A flash of impatience appeared in his eyes.The perfume smell on Bianca overwhelmed Luke when she approached him. In the past, she did not like to use perfume and always had a natural fragrance on her body.After losing her memory, she fell in love with various ladies' fragrances, which made Luke even more reluctant to be close to her."You’re back?" He kept some distance from her with the excuse of pouring himself a cup of tea.Luke's action seemed natural, so Bianca did not notice his true intention. She nodded and said, "Yes, I'm home. You’re watching financial news? Why are y
