"What happened? Tell me about it," Susan asked quickly. She did not intend to let go of anything she could use against Luke because this might be the evidence she needed to bring him down and make Louis come to power in the future."Tell you? Are you able to tell him off?" Madam Mallory wondered. After all, Susan was not Luke's biological mother."Why not? No matter what, I'm still his mother. When Allison doesn't know how to educate her son, I’m the one who steps forward," Susan said.Madam Mallory nodded. No matter what, Susan was the legal wife of Zachary Crawford.Even though his biological mother was around, Luke still addressed Susan as ‘Mother.’ "Doesn't Luke already have a wife? I found out that he’s very close to Luca Craw and there’s a high chance that they’re living together," Madam Mallory said. She did not mention what had happened the day prior.After all, she impulsively wanted to kidnap Luca. It was illegal, so she did not want to say anything about it.When Sus
"How much did you overhear from the conversation between me and Mrs. Mallory?" Susan asked. The maid was responsible for delivering food and drinks to Allison. She was usually the one in contact with Allison.The maid's body shook as she uttered, "Madam Susan, I didn't hear anything.""Very well. If someone else knows about what we talked about, I’ll know that you accidentally overheard it and spread the news. You’re aware of the consequences, yes?" Susan threatened the maid. Although Old Master Crawford was still in control of the Crawford family, she still had the ability to frame the maid and have her fired.The maid nodded quickly and said, "I understand. I didn't hear anything."The maid cleared the cups and snacks on the coffee table. Then, she got a text from Allison, so she immediately went upstairs.She knocked on the door of the room, and Allison's voice came from inside. "Come in."The maid opened the bedroom door and saw Allison's face. She was frightened and could no
"Dr. Craw? I went downstairs with her just now but I don’t think she was going for lunch." Jason reported truthfully but wondered why Luke did not call her directly.‘Aren’t they already living together? Why are they still so awkward when they’re in the office?After all, Luke was the boss of the company. Jason did not think that should be the case.No one would dare say anything even if he used a public tool for private use."Where did she go?" Luke asked even though he had an answer in his heart. If she went downstairs and did not go for lunch, she was probably too tired. Hence, she went to the office downstairs to rest.He glanced at Luca's office. It was a temporary office that used to be a vacant utility room, so there was not enough space for a sofa that could fit her."I think she’s in the lab." Jason looked at his thoughtful expression and felt a little uneasy.Luke turned around and walked to his office. When he thought that Luca might not eat and just sleep until the e
Madam Mallory glanced at the ward number and found that it was a VIP ward.She guessed that whoever Queenie was taking care of was not simple. Otherwise, why would they be in the VIP ward? On top of that, her men could not find out who was in the ward.‘Is it Jack Norman?’Madam Mallory thought that it would not be possible as she saw the news of Jack in the newspaper that morning. He was attending various events, so he could not be in the VIP ward for treatment.‘Could the person in the ward be Luke's wife, Bianca?’After all, Bianca was supposedly studying abroad but no one knew where she was studying nor the specific details.Maybe she got sick and Queenie brought her back to be secretly treated…If it was Bianca, she could use her to mess with Luca.‘Luca likes to be a mistress, huh? If Bianca appears in front of her, Luke won’t be able to protect her anymore.’The longer a man was in Luke’s position, the more afraid he would be of getting into scandals that could affect h
Madam Mallory certainly would not let Queenie know that she had been waiting for her, so she made up an excuse. "My son is hospitalized because he's not feeling well, so I'm here."Queenie frowned, her mood heavy. Leia's illness made her empathize with Madam Mallory. She looked at her worriedly and asked, "Is your son alright?""The situation is not optimistic." Madam Mallory secretly rejoiced when she saw that Queenie responded rather positively. She turned around and waited for the elevator with her. "The doctor can't find out the root cause, so he can only rely on painkillers and valium to stabilize his condition.""It's that serious..." Queenie's brows furrowed deeper. She thought of Leia,She had been taking medicine and would go home to recuperate when she got better. However, if her condition took a turn for the worse, she would have to be hospitalized again.The medicine that Luca prescribed was effective, but Leia's willfulness made her condition worse. The medicine had n
After Madam Mallory hung up the call, her phone rang again.She answered, her tone full of impatience, "What's the matter?""Madam, something terrible has happened! Young Master Pierre woke up and is twitching from the pain!" The nurse on the other end of the call was flustered. Madam Mallory could hear Pierre's wailing through the call.Madam Mallory's complacent mood was instantly disturbed. She quickly returned to the elevator and went upstairs. "Inform the doctor immediately. I’ll come now."...After Queenie left the hospital, she was still thinking about what Madam Mallory had said. She felt uneasy.The doubts that had been suppressed before were now springing up like bamboo shoots after rain.She did not want to doubt them, but she could not help it. She called Jack and said, "Dear, are you in the office now?""Yeah, I'm still processing some documents. What's wrong?" Jack noticed that his wife's tone was off. He quickly asked, "Did Leia do something wrong again?"Leia
Queenie looked at Jack and nodded after Luca gave her promise. Then, she said, "I shouldn't be keeping you any longer. See you later." “Sure,” replied Luca.Queenie hung up the call first.Jack asked again, “Should we invite Luke too?”“You’re thinking about figuring out if there’s anything suspicious between them, right?” Queenie knew what he had in mind, and Jack nodded.“Actually, it was already very suspicious when they slept in the same bedroom last time. But we believed in Luke’s integrity, so we stopped suspecting him.” Queenie grabbed her husband’s hand and added, “I know you believe in Luca. I’d like to believe that she’s not that kind of person either. I’m just trying to get her to talk tonight, so there’s no need to ask Luke to come over too.” “Alright.” Jack did not say anything knowing that Queenie had her own plans. After all, he wanted to find out whether or not he was wrong about Luca too.Queenie stood up when Jack agreed with it. She said, “Then I’ll go get r
The maid saw her looking at those rose bushes, smiled, and said, “Mrs. Norman takes good care of the rose bushes. They’ll definitely bloom again next year.” “Yes. She has always known how to take care of these rose bushes,” Luca said thoughtfully. The maid looked at her in surprise. “Ms. Luca, you know Mrs. Norman well. Indeed, she knows how to take care of rose bushes well. These were trimmed a few days ago. Mrs. Norman said that the rose bushes will look great next year after vernalization.”Luca smiled as she listened to the maid. Of course, she understood her own mother well. Luca felt a sense of warmth when she walked into the house. The maid said, "Mr. and Mrs. Norman, Ms. Luca is here."Queenie walked out of the kitchen with an apron on her. She saw Luca standing at the entrance. She smiled and said, “Luca, you’re here. Take a seat. Dinner will be ready soon.”Jack, who was sitting on the couch, added, “Luca, come here and drink some tea.”Luca smiled. She nodded as
