Susan frowned with dissatisfaction. “Even if Louis doesn’t work at T Corporation, he’s still a shareholder. Whatever decisions they make, shouldn’t they consult Louis as well?”The butler smiled apologetically and said, “Yes, you’re right.”“This won’t do. Since Louis isn’t here, I need to listen to what they have to say.” Susan thought that she could not let Luke get the upper hand.She went through a lot just to get Louis so many shares from T Corporation, but if Luke decided to pull some strings and keep the shares for himself, then all her previous efforts would be in vain.“Madam Crawford, Old Master Crawford ordered…” The butler blocked her way.“Don’t worry, I’ll just stand by the door. If I can hear it, I’ll hear it. If I can’t, then so be it. I won’t make things difficult for you,” Susan insisted on moving forward.“This is Old Master Crawford’s order, Madam Crawford. Do you want to displease the old master?” The butler held his ground and stood in her way.If she conti
“Thea isn’t a kid anymore. As her grandmother and guardian, aren’t you going to teach her some manners?” Old Master Crawford frowned as could not bear the sight of Susan spoiling the child.Compared to Lanie and the other two, Thea was very bad-mannered.“That’s enough, Father. Keep your voice down. Our Thea wasn’t always like this. She turned out this way because of the trauma she experienced three years ago. Speaking of which, someone is to blame for that.” Susan deliberately glanced at Luke.In her opinion, Old Master Crawford behaved this way because he favored Luke’s children.Thea was also his great-granddaughter, yet he often lectured her in front of the other three children, which bothered Susan.After Thea’s trauma from three years ago was mentioned, Old Master Crawford was speechless.Allison’s behavior at the time had directly hurt Thea and left an indelible psychological wound in the child’s heart.Since then, Thea’s character had changed.Louis and his wife even to
Silence filled the bedroom as no one replied. It was as though his words fell on deaf ears.Luke’s hands trembled, and his heart could not help but beat faster. He had never felt this anxious before…“Luca, if you don’t say anything, I’m going in,” he said, yet there was still no sound.Luke put his left hand on the door handle and pushed the door open without hesitation.The lights in the bedroom were off, so he fumbled around the switch to turn on the lights. Luca was not inside.Luke walked to the closet and opened the door.Luca’s clothes were still hanging inside, along with her suitcase. It did not seem like she left.The lump in his throat slowly disappeared. Although he did not know where Luca went, it seemed that she did not leave.He took out his phone to call Luca.Not being home this late meant that she must be busy with something, but it was hard to say what it was she was busy with.Luke was worried that she was sent on another mission by the Island of Despair.
Luca was explaining to him.After the meeting ended, she saw the missed call from Luke.However, she gave up the idea of calling him back after she saw the time. It was late, and Luke must have already slept…She did not expect to see the villa brightly lit up when she came back. Luke was even working in the living room, waiting for her.“I know.” Luke saved the file and closed the computer screen.Luca glanced at the time. It was already 12, yet Luke waited for her until now…“Mr. Crawford, aren’t you going to sleep?” she asked.Luke stood up. “Has the drug research been taken care of?”“No, there’s data that does not match the hypothesis. We’re still trying to find out why,” said Luca. After having a meeting that lasted the whole day, they still had not found where the problem came from.“No rush. Take your time. Go rest,” said Luke.Luca nodded and was about to head upstairs when she heard him say, “I’ve picked up the children.”“They’re back?” She was a little surprised,
Percy sneered when he heard Pierre’s words. He and Luke knew he would say this.Old Master Mallory flipped through the bidding document and looked up at the two brothers.“This bidding document…” He tossed the bidding document to the side of the couch.“This is my bidding document,” Pierre said through gritted teeth. Although this useless bidding document had cost him a large sum of money, he could only bite the bullet and say that it belonged to him.“Pierre!” Percy’s lowered his voice as he issued a warning.“What? Are you still going to help an outsider to teach me a lesson? You had me out at sea with my hands and feet tied up for so many days. How could you do such a thing to your own brother?” Pierre looked at him provocatively.“What?” Madam Mallory exclaimed before Old Master Mallory could even react. “You were tied up for so many days? Are you hurt? Dear God, how could you do this to your brother, Percy?” Madam Mallory looked Pierre up and down.At the same time, Old Mas
"Mm." Old Master Mallory continued to study the bidding document without looking up.Mr. Bennet left with his teacup, came back, and served him the re-brewed warm tea.Old Master Mallory was still looking at the bidding document.Upstairs.As soon as Pierre walked to the second floor, he could not help but ask Madam Mallory, "Is it true that Percy and Nina are engaged?"Madam Mallory frowned when she heard Pierre's anxious tone. "They’ve announced the engagement. It’s happening. He hid the news from the family, so Old Master Mallory is fuming.""You should’ve sent someone to keep an eye on him. Maybe you could’ve stopped it." Pierre clenched his fists."How did you expect me to do that? Mallory Corporation is in his hands. It’s not easy to keep an eye on him. Besides, even when we arranged for the Johnston woman to be his partner, he ended up messing up their family. Everyone in A City knows that he loves that b*tch. No one dares to try anything because of what happened to the J
The atmosphere in the living room turned chilly almost instantly.Old Master Crawford stared coldly at Old Master Mallory and could not help but sigh. "When you and I used to be in the corporate world, you were so shrewd. How did you become a different person after you retired?"Old Master Mallory snorted coldly as he knew that Old Master Crawford was secretly mocking him. "You said that this bidding document was prepared by Luke. What evidence do you have?"Old Master Crawford had been waiting for him to say that.He held out his hand and said, "Glasses."Zander quickly placed the glasses in his hands.Old Master Crawford put on his glasses and flipped over the bidding document. "You want evidence? I'll give it to you now. Don't say that I wronged your precious grandson."Old Master Mallory frowned. Old Master Crawford's reaction made it seem like there was some evidence in the bidding document that could prove that what he said was true."Show me what you’ve got. If you find
Pierre finally understood why Percy chose to stand on Luke's side even in front of Old Master Mallory.That was because Luke had left his logo on the design draft.Luke had seen the contents of the bidding document in M Group, so Pierre was certain that Luke had plotted against them and made sure that his employees would not notice what he did.Although Luke did not intend to go after him, he got looped into it.‘Damn that Abel! He deceived me twice in a row, and now, he has caused me so much trouble!’Pierre put on his coat. He knew he could not do anything to Abel.He did know what organization Abel led. The phone number Abel gave him was no longer valid, so he could not get in contact with Abel. There was only one way to find him..."What are you thinking about? Hurry up and go downstairs. When you apologize later, you should be more sincere and blame it on someone in the company. Tell Old Master Crawford that you don't know anything, but since you’re the boss of the company,
