"You''re the host," said Luke. When he was in the front yard, those people were only interested in
striking up a conversation with Luke. Luke had no choice but to talk to them. It was for the sake of the
Crawford family''s reputation.
However, Louis was the star today.
Therefore, Luke seized the opportunity to bring Louis along with him to make them realize who the real
star of the show was.
"Brother..." Louis knew that Luke was doing this for him.
Even though his work was stable now, he needed to expand his connections to grow his business.
Those people outside were the key to growing hiswork.
"Lead us out through the back door," said Luke.
"Alright." Louis did not say anything when he saw how determined Luke was. He led them to the back
door and opened the door for them.
“Brother, Dr. Craw, I''m sorry for the inconvenience caused today," Louis apologized again.
"Hurry back. The guests are still waiting for you in the front yard," replied Luke. He chose to leave
through the back door because he knew that Luca would not like getting too much attention.
"Okay." Louis watched Luke, Luca, and the kids leave through the back door. Only then did he close
the door.
He returned to the living room and saw Yuri rushing in, "What are you doing here? The guests are
waiting in the front yard."
Louis handed the surveince footage he saved on his phone to Yuri to watch.
"Isn''t that Mrs. Jackman and Mrs. Malcolm?" eximed Yuri. She knew Mrs. Jackman and Mrs.
Malcolm because she would asionally apany Susan to have afternoon tea and go shopping
with them. It was to maintain her rtionship with them.

"Where''s Brother?" She realized that something was wrong and immediately asked him. She was
worried that Luke was enraged and would make a scene.
"He went home," Louis'' face was pale with anger. "He''ll investigate this matter, but only when the
guests have left."
Yuri replied with an unpleasant expression on her face, "Mrs. Jackman is a friend of Mother''s. Mother
will be upset if Brother looks into this. You should talk to him. He''s your brother. Try to smooth things
over between them."
"He''s doing me a favor by choosing to talk about it after the event," Louis clenched his fists. Yuri was
not someone who could not distinguish right from wrong, yet she was speaking up for Mrs. Jackman. It
was hard for him to believe that, and he felt disappointed.
Yuri realized that Louis was angry. She moved her lips but did not say a word.
It was indeed inappropriate for Mrs. Jackman to do that to Luca.
Yuri knew that Louis personally invited Luca over.
Mrs. Jackman was not showing any respect to him by treating Luca that way.
Yuri suddenly understood why Louis got so angry...
"Forget it. The guests are outside now. We have to go out," said Yuri. They had to entertain the guests
and maintain their manners as a host.
"Alright." Louis knew there were still guests in the front yard. Thus, he walked out to the front yard with
Yuri.
In the front yard.
After instructing the security guard to delete the surveince footage, Mrs. Jackman and Susan
returned to the front yard with ease.
Mrs. Jackman looked around. She could not find where Luke was, not to mention Luca. She frowned.
"Where did you go?" Mrs. Jackman''s husband, Lonnie Jackman, walked toward her and asked.
Mrs. Jackman''s heart tightened as she replied in a guilty tone, "I was just having tea with Madam
Crawford and Mrs. Malcolm in the backyard. What''s wrong?"
"Am I not allowed to look for you when there''s nothing wrong?" Lonnie did not ask more questions
when he heard that she was with the two rich wives.
"Well, you''re always with that whore. When do you evere to me? I''m not used to you saying such
things to me now." Mrs. Jackman could not help but sneer at him forgetting about her when he was
with the mistress.
Lonnie''s expression hardened and replied, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I''m not talking nonsense. Oh, by the way, did you get what you wanted?" Mrs. Jackman asked. Lonnie
had always valued his rtionship with the Crawford family, which was why he came to the party with
her.
Otherwise, she would have either attended the event alone or Lonnie would havee with his
mistress.
They had not attended an event together in a long time.
Susan was the one who invited her to the housewarming party today.
Lonnie knew she wasing. Hence, he tagged along because he had an ulterior motive.
"No. Aren''t you close with Madam Crawford? You can ask her to help. I''d like to talk to Luke alone and
discuss working together." Lonnie wanted her to help.
He could not get a word in when Luke was surrounded by many people.
Lonnie wanted to coborate with T Corporation, but how could he leave a good impression on Luke if
he did not get the chance to speak to him?
Not to mention working together.
"Work with Luke?" Mrs. Jackman knew he was after the Crawford family, but she initially thought he
was just trying to climb the socialdder. She was not expecting a coboration.
"I''m currently working on a construction project. But they have strict requirements for the building
design. Only T Corporation can do it. They''ll cancel the project if I can''t get them to work together with
me,” exined Lonnie. He imed that he had connections with T Corporation when he was
competing for the project.
However, the only connection he had with the Crawford family was his wife''s friendship with Madam
Crawford.
If T Corporation refused to help, he would be left with no choice but to give up the project.
However, giving up the project would mean paying a huge amount of penalty for breaching the
contract.
Mrs. Jackman realized how serious the situation was. She immediately pulled his sleeve and moved
aside. "You didn''t get to talk to Luke just now?"
"He was surrounded by people. How could I get close to him? Besides, I was too embarrassed to do
so. You''ll get it done.” Lonnie was unhappy with her pulling his sleeves. He straightened himself up.
"Are you dumb?" Mrs. Jackman rolled her eyes. Did he really think she could help him?
Susan and Luke had no maternal bond, and she partnered up with Susan to bully Luca earlier. If Luke
knew about this, he would never agree to work together with the Jackman family.
"I know that Luke is not Madam Crawford''s biological son, but they''re still a family. If Madam Crawford
can''t help us, don''t we have Mr. Louis to help us? I heard that the brothers are close. They don''t
engage in the cut-throatpetition and power struggles that take ce among wealthy families.
Anyway, you''re Mr. Louis'' aunt. Can''t you talk to him and ask for help?" His n was well thought out.
"Can''t you find another constructionpany?" asked Mrs. Jackman.
There were so manypanies in the country. She refused to believe that only T Corporation could
satisfy the client.
"The contract''s requirement is to get design drawings from T Corporation. Otherwise, it''s going to be a
breach of contract." Lonnie frowned. He did not think this was a difficult matter. Why was she making
excuses?
"Well, if that''s the case, then we''ll just breach the contract. Why work with such a difficult client?" Mrs.
Jackman replied indifferently. Thepany had many projects going on, and it was okay to lose one or
two projects.
"You make it sound easy, I''ll have to pay eight figures if we breach the contract," Lonnie''s expression
darkened.
Mrs. Jackman was managing thepany''s finances. How could she not have a sense of financial
responsibility?
Mrs. Jackman was dumbfounded for a moment. "That much? What kind of project is this?"
