In the living room.


    The three kids sat side by side on the sofa, enjoying their fruits.


    Rainie turned to look at Tommy, and she asked, “Tommy, Ms. Luca attended your school''s


    parentteacher conference today. Did anything happen?"


    "Yes!" Tommy immediately put down his fork and started to tell his siblings what happened today.


    "Rainie, Charlie''s parents apologized to us!"


    "Charlie? Is he the one who fell in front of you, didn''t dare to admit it, and med you for it?" Lanie


    knew about the events of yesterday.


    Tommy seemed to have mentioned Charlie''s name when he told them about it yesterday.


    "Yes. That''s him! His mother was terrifying yesterday. She looked like she was going to eat Ms. Luca


    alive. But she chickened out today. She kept on apologizing to us. Daddy sued them, so they came to


    apologize to keep the dispute out of court," exined Tommy as he danced with joy.


    Tommy had behaved himself when he was there at the scene, but he was secretly thrilled.


    "They aren''t afraid of getting sued. They''re afraid of Daddy." Lanie hit the mark.


    Rainie agreed and nodded her head.


    "Why are they afraid of Daddy?" Tommy asked with his head tilted. He did not understand why


    Charlie''s parents were not afraid of getting sued.


    He knew that many people were afraid of getting sued and getting into awsuit on TV.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    "Charlie''s father''s name is Brigham Hudson, and his mother''s name is Myra Chavez," said Lanie.


    Tommy widened his eyes as he asked, "How did you know that?"


    "That''s impressive." Rainie pursed her lips, trying not to smile. She saw Lanie looking into Charlie''s


    parents yesterday.


    Lanie used a tablet to search for Charlie''s parent''s information through Charlie''s full name yesterday.


    "Your ssmate''s parents are in the lighting business. It''s quite a big field in A City, but it depends on a


    lot of industries, like architectural design." Lanie analyzed the situation.


    Before Lanie could finish his sentence, Tommy immediately understood and nodded. "I got it. He would


    be losing a lot of business if he offends Daddy!"


    “Yes. The architectural design projects that T Corporation works on have taken their business to the


    next level," replied Lanie. He knew Charlie''s parents'' lightingpany exported their products to


    another country. They were wholesaling and retailing their products in the local market too, but they


    gained most of the profits from these projects.


    They knew they would be out of luck if they offended Luke. That was why they were so anxious about


    it.


    Tommy heaved a sigh and said, "That exins why they apologized."


    "They should apologize. Your ssmate defamed you yesterday, and his mother was rude to Ms. Luca.


    It''s only right they apologized," added Lanie. Tommy and Luca did nothing wrong. They did not deserve


    to be scolded by Charlie''s parents.


    "Yes. Ms. Luca told me that one should apologize after doing something wrong. Charlie used me of


    something I didn''t do. He was wrong!" said Tommy.


    "Alright. Leave it to Daddy. He''ll handle this. Let''s go upstairs and do our homework," suggested


    Rainie.


    They would usually finish their homework before dinner.


    "Okay." Tommy nodded. Then, he grabbed his school bag and jumped off the sofa.


    The three kids made their way upstairs to do their homework.


    Luca was busy with her research in the study. Only when Aunt Neile came to inform her that it was


    about time for dinner did she drop everything and head downstairs.


    Luke and the three kids were already sitting at the dining table when Luca arrived at the dining hall.


    "Ms. Luca, hurry up and sit down. It''s time for dinner." Tommy looked at Luca with a smile on his face.


    "Alright. Thank you," replied Luca. She sat down on the chair right beside Luke.


    "Have you removed the stitches?" Luke noticed that Luca''s right hand was no longer bandaged.


    "Yes. I had some time today, so I went to remove the stitches." Luca nodded. "Dr. Park helped me to


    remove them."


    Luca stressed Johann''s name, telling Luke that she got his permission before she removed the


    stitches. She did not remove the stitches on her own.


    "Okay." Luke nodded, staring at her with his deep eyes.


    Aunt Neile and the maid served the dishes on the table. Luca took the initiative to help them with the


    food.


    She ced a slice of pizza on Luke''s te first. Then, she gave the children each a slice of pizza.


    Atst, she grabbed a slice for herself.


    The three kids enjoyed their pizza.


    Luke took a few bites and suddenly asked, "Did anything happen during the parent-teacher conference


    today?"


    "Charlie''s parents apologized to us. Does that count?" Luca gently bit her fork and decided to tell Luke


    what happened even though she knew Luke probably already knew about it.


    "Yes, I told Mr. Zac to sue them," replied Luke


    "Now they know you''re Tommy''s father. That''s why they apologized," Luca uttered slowly. If it were not


    for the demand letter that had Luke''s name on it when it was sent to them, the couple would have


    continued to behave arrogantly.


    “What are you nning to do?" asked Luke.


    Luca immediately replied without hesitation, "Wait for the case to be scheduled and sue them?"


    "Alright. Sure." It did not matter to Luke. He would leave the case to Mr. Zac. It would not take long for


    him to settle it.


    "Isn''t it troublesome?" Luca asked in a soft voice.


    Luke''s eyes gleamed when he turned to look at her. There was determination in his eyes. "I won''t let


    anyone bully you."


    Luke was talking about his family, including her and the kids.


    Luke would never let anyone bully his wife and children. What was the point of having an abundance of


    wealth and power if he could not protect his family?


    "Okay." Luca looked down.


    "By the way, Louis will be holding a housewarming party this Sunday. He invited you," said Luke.


    Louis told Luke about it today. Susan went to ask a divination practitioner and was told that thising


    Sunday was an auspicious day to hold the party.


    "Will there be a lot of people?" Luca tightened her hand while she gripped the knife at the thought of


    attending thepany''s party this Friday night and Louis'' party on Sunday. She felt like she did not


    have enough time...


    "Only family members and friends are invited to the party," answered Luke. Even though Susan had a


    big ego and tried to make the housewarming party a big deal, even thinking of holding a banquet for it,


    Louis eventually rejected her ideas.


    Louis had already paid some money to renovate the house, and he spent a lot of money to celebrate


    Susan''s birthday partyst time. He did not have much left now.


    Even though he could receive some cash gifts from the guests, he could hardly reach the break-even


    point of the cost of holding the party.


    Hence, he decided to make it simple and only invite his family members and friends to attend the party.


    He could save some money that way, and he could make some extra money from it too.


    "Okay." Luca secretly counted the days. Previously, she heard the kids mention that Old Master


    Crawford told Louis to move to his new house after the new year, but she did not expect them to put it


    off until now.


    "Is Old Master Crawford staying with them?" Luca asked with curiosity. Previously, Tommy told her


    what had happened at Crawford Manor during the new year.


    Tommy told Luca everything. He even told her how reluctant Susan was to move out of the house.


    That was why Luca knew what had happened even though she did not celebrate the new year at


    Crawford Manor.
