Chapter 1065 Bianca Had Done So Much for the Family
Lanie held Luke''s hand tightly as they walked down the stairs. "Right, Grandma''swyer is here. He''s
been waiting for you for more than an hour." "Lawyer?" After he got downstairs, he looked around the
living room but did not see Walter. Instead, there was a middle-aged man whom he did not know sitting
on the couch.
He seemed to be thewyer that Lanie was talking about.
The man sitting on the couch was called Henry Sneyder. He stood up when he saw Luke. Despite
being one of the bestwyers in A City and having won manywsuits for wealthy families, he could not
help but feel nervous when he saw Luke.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Crawford. I''m Henry Sneyder, and this is my name card," Henry said politely
while handing Luke his name card.
Luke did not take it. "What is your business here, Mr. Sneyder?" "It''s like this. I''m representing your
mother, and I''d like to discuss something with you," Henry said, though his arms remained in the same
position.
He felt awkward because Luke did not take the name card.
"Where''s Mr. Walter Long?" Luke said coldly as he brought Lanie to sit down on the couch.
He promised Allison that he would find a goodwyer for her, and the bestwyer in A City was Walter
Long. The chances of winning the case were basically zero, and Walter had epted the case as a
favor for Luke.
Lanie turned to speak to the caretaker at the side. "Aunt Jemma, Daddy is already hungry. Can you
bring him some oatmeal?"
The little boy was always concerned about his father''s wellbeing. The caretaker smiled when she heard
that. Then, she went into the bedroom and brought Luke a bowl of warm oatmeal, i
Henry put away his name card in embarrassment and sat back down on the couch. "Your mother didn''t
want Mr. Long’s help and hired me instead." Henry knew who Walter Long was. If Henry was one of the
bestwyers in A City, Walter was one of the bestwyers in the country. No ordinary person would be
able to hire him for awsuit.
"Did she hire you herself?" Luke asked.
He knew who the prosecutionwyers were, and he knew that even Walter could not win the suit.
However, Walter could bargain for a reduced sentence.
He thought that Allison was incredibly stupid for not trusting Walter.
"Ms. Dous contacted me." Henry pushed his sses. The incident had shocked A City, and many
lawyers were hoping that they could get a piece of the pie.
They knew that it would be almost impossible for the Crawfords to hire them, so when Maxine
contacted Henry to represent Allison, he epted the job without even hesitating.

Luke did not say anything. The caretaker brought him a bowl of oatmeal, and he began to eat it slowly.
He would have forgotten who Maxine was if not for the fact that she had shown up at T Corporation a
few days ago.
Seeing that Luke offered no response, he wondered if it meant that Luke had tacitly agreed that he
would be representing Allison.
"There''s no chance of winning this case, Mr. Crawford, but I can try my best to argue for a reduced
sentence," Henry said.
"Mm." Luke continued to eat his oatmeal without looking at Henry. Anywyer would have said the
same thing.
Henry continued, "Your statement will be vital in fighting for a reduced sentence. Can you prepare a
petition so that I can hand it to the presiding judge?" "I''m very busy." Luke understood the purpose of
Henry''s visit.
Walter had told him that Luke''s petition was very advantageous for Allison because he was Allison''s
son.
Allison had stolen from the family, so Luke could make up a reason for why she was forced to do so.
However, Luke had refused.
"Mdm. Tanner will be sentenced to at least a few years in prison, Mr. Crawford." Henry thought that he
could convince Luke, but Luke had refused him so candidly.
Luke finished thest bite of oatmeal and ced the bowl on the coffee table. "See him off," he said
coldly.
"Mr. Crawford?" Henry stood up, still hoping that Luke would change his mind.
"This way, please," the caretaker said to Henry.
"Mr. Crawford, Mdm. Tanner is your mother. If you don''t want to write the petition, can you be there on
court day?" Henry tried to fight for the slightest advantage for Allison.
"I''ll be on a business trip." Luke took Lanie''s hand and walked away.
The caretaker escorted Henry out of the house.
Luke could see the confusion on his son''s face. "Do you have a question?" "Is Grandma really going to
prison?" Lanie asked. The adults tried not to mention that in front of the children, but Lanie had
overheard bits and pieces of the conversation.
He fully understood after hearing what Henry had to say.
"If you made a mistake, should you bear the consequences?" Luke asked as he led Lanie out of the
living room.
"Yes, you should," Lanie said.
"Grandma is bearing the consequences for the mistakes she made," Luke exined.
He lifted his head to look at the setting sun. If Bianca were here, she would have disapproved of Luke''s
methods.
She always thought that Luke''s methods were too direct for the young children. It was better to educate
them tactfully.
Luke held Lanie''s hand tightly and sighed. "Bea, if you don''t agree with what I’m doing, then you should
come home soon."
Rainie and Tommy were in the garden with their great-grandfather. They ran toward Luke when they
saw him.
Tommy hugged his leg and asked, "Why did you get out of bed, Daddy? Mommy said that you should
stay in bed if you''re sick.”
I''m fine." Luke bent over and lifted Tommy in his arms. He could not help but feel forlorn when Bianca
was mentioned.
Tommy reached out and touched Luke''s forehead, then at his forehead.
Bianca had often done that to check if he had a fever.
He nodded. "It''s not hot anymore!"
Rainie looked at her father. "Are you feeling better, Daddy?" "Mm, yes." Luke brought Tommy to the
gazebo while Lanie and Rainie followed behind.
He sat down on the bench and put Tommy down.
Old Master Crawford had something to say to Luke. He told the children," Lanie, Rainie, Tommy, why
don''t you kids go and y over there?" "Okay." Lanie and Rainie nodded.
Tommy wanted to stay behind, but his elder siblings brought him to the swings.
After the children left, Old Master Crawford asked, "Any news about Bea yet?" "No." Luke''s eyes
shed with grief when Bianca was mentioned.
Old Master Crawford looked at the three children. Even since Bianca was abducted, he realized that
Bianca had done a lot for the household.
While Luke was missing, Bianca had single-handedly maintained T Corporation. Old Master Crawford
felt guilty for the mistake that he had made.
