Luke's words made Maxine overjoyed but Allison was annoyed. He was kind to every woman except her. He was cold and indifferent to her as though there was a deep hatred between them. Allison glanced at Maxine, who looked like a young girl in love and decided to please her. Half an hour later, Luke stood up and said, "Let's go." "Luke?" Maxine looked up curiously and wondered what was going on. ‘Why are we leaving before the food is served?’ "Your luxury meal is at the door." Luke slowly tidied his coat, not allowing a single wrinkle. Maxine did not understand what was happening but she stood up anyway. Luke opened the door and several police officers rushed in. "Ah!" Allison was dumbfounded. "Luke, what's happening?" Luke kept quiet while the officer asked, "Is there a Ms. Maxine Douglas here?" Allison looked at Maxine and asked in a sharp tone, "Maxine, what have you done?" Her voice hurt Maxine’s ears. If it had been in the past,
Shireen felt like her innocence had been proven. She stood up and asked, "Who did it?" Jason said, "The person who downloaded the virus on the computer was David Muller, the security guard on duty in the building that night. He inserted a USB that carried the virus into a computer that was not turned off and it attacked all the computers connected to the internet. This person has been apprehended by the police and has confessed that the main culprit is Maxine Douglas of Capital Corp." Bianca listened and was not surprised. She had guessed it when she saw the handcuffs on Maxine. Shireen cried because she was finally able to prove her innocence. During the last couple of weeks, although Bianca had not said anything to her, her colleagues had all acted differently around her. They were extra careful when they were working on new designs around her as though they were afraid that she would steal their designs. In order not to annoy others, she tried her best
Old Master Crawford stood up and said with a cold expression, "Let’s talk in the study." Bianca paused and gave a wry smile. Old Master Crawford was not a fan of her and did not want to talk in front of her. She continued to walk into the kitchen while holding her children’s hands. Luke glanced at his wife and children before going upstairs with Old Master Crawford. In the study, there was a game of chess on the table that was in progress. Old Master Crawford played by himself and did not bother to look up at Luke, who sat opposite of him. He asked, "Is the company okay?" "T Corporation is doing great." Luke took out his phone from his jacket and showed Old Master Crawford a video. "I came over to show you a video." Old Master Crawford stopped and looked up. "What video?" Luke did not hand over the phone immediately. His deep-set eyes were filled with emotions that others could not read as he said, "Grandpa, you like Maxine?" Old Master Craw
"It’s impolite to talk while you eat." Before Rainie got an answer from Bianca, she heard Luke's low voice talking to her. She protested, "Daddy, I haven't eaten yet." Bianca laughed and touched Rainie's hair. "Baby, eat your food. It won't taste as good when it's cold." Rainie smiled sweetly and answered, "Okay, Mommy." Luke looked at the hot instant noodles and two soft-boiled eggs. As before, she had made them with love. He picked up his fork, took a big bite, and commented, "It's delicious!" Bianca handed a fork to Tommy and was satisfied after she heard Luke’s comments. "You’re easily satisfied." "It’s your cooking that satisfies me," Luke corrected her. Bianca lowered her head slightly and took a bite of noodles. Even though it was nothing but cheap noodles, they were happy.... The other side. Jason drove the drunk and unconscious Sue home. Although she had moved out of Nina's villa long ago and never told him her new addres
Kari hugged his thigh and stared at him with a blank expression. Her round and dark eyes were filled with longing for her father. "Will you stay here tonight?" Jason wanted nothing more than to stay and spend time with the twins. However, if Sue found out, she would rip him into pieces. He smiled bitterly, not showing too many adult emotions in front of his kids as he said, "I need to work tomorrow, so I can't stay." The nanny brought out a glass of water and was startled when she heard what Jason said. "Mr. Doyle, can't you stay here tonight?""What's the matter?" Jason asked. Nanny shared the challenge that she faced, "I promised Ms. Carter to stay and take care of the twins until she came back, but I didn’t expect her to drink so much that she’d come home unconscious. My mother is sick and I have to go back to prepare the medicine that she needs, but if you want to leave..." Kari and Teri were still young, so they could not be left alone. Teri gra
Crawford Manor. Luke and the family had spent the night in Crawford Manor as requested by Old Master Crawford. Early in the morning, the table was full of people once again. Old Master Crawford was delighted to see the happy family. Louis went downstairs with his wife and daughter. He saw Luke and said with a smile, "Big Brother, Sister-in-law, you’re all here." "Yeah." Luke was calm as always. "Good morning." Bianca was holding Tommy in her arms. He drooled as he looked at the breakfast on the table. If she were not holding him, he would already have a donut in his hand. Yuri Dunn sat down with Thea in her arms, feeling unhappy. She thought that Louis treated an outsider more eagerly more than he treated her and Thea. "Uncle Louis, Aunt Yuri, Thea, good morning," Blanche and Rainie greeted them.Tommy's attention finally shifted from the food. He greeted, "Good morning! Nice to see you, Uncle Louis, Aunt Yuri, and Thea." Louis smiled when
Allison's pale face was flushed as she glared at Susan. "What does this have to do with you?" Susan covered her mouth and smiled. Her gaze was full of disdain and mockery. ‘You’re nothing but a mistress! Your family offended T Corporation and is being backed to a corner, causing you to struggle now. How ridiculous!’ Luke furrowed his brows. He did not want to see this kind of farce. He had felt helpless when he was a kid but as he grew up, he learned how to ignore it. Bianca carefully wiped Tommy's mouth, stood up, and interrupted the farce by saying, "Grandpa, Luke and I need to leave first. We need to send Rainie and Blanche to school." Old Master Crawford nodded. He was getting a headache from Allison and Susan quarreling. His sharp gaze swept over them. Susan noticed how infuriated Allison already was so she said nothing. Instead, she yawned and stood up with a smug expression. She said, "I'm tired too. Life is interesting, there are always ridiculous thing
Self-defense? Bianca was well aware of how weak she was. Sometimes when something happened, even the bodyguards that Luke hired could not protect her. In the end, he had to put himself in harm's way to save her. Bianca raised her gaze and agreed with him, "Tomorrow is Saturday. I’ll sign up for a class and do my best." She was going to learn self-defense not only to make herself stronger and not hold him back anymore but also for the sake of her health. Bianca intended to spend the rest of her life with Luke, but after giving birth to Tommy, her health deteriorated. She was afraid that her dream would not come true because of that. Therefore, her intention of learning self-defense was to protect herself and strengthen her body. "You don't need to sign up for classes. I'll get someone to teach you." Luke freed his right hand and held Bianca's hand. She smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.They soon arrived at the Tanner family’s villa. T
