Susan pretended to be aggrieved as she bit her lip. "Father, Luke''s affair has already started to affect
the Crawford family. I can''t just stand by and watch. Besides, he hasn''t even divorced Bianca...
"Bianca has a vtile personality. If this matter goes international, she might decide to return to the
country. Our family hasn''t had peace for even two days. We must handle this matter properly. And also,
the Norman family..."
Susan met the increasingly gloomy gaze of Old Master Crawford and paused for a moment. Then, she
said, "I''m doing all of this for the sake of the Crawford family."
"Mother, what do you think I should do?" As Luke watched Susan pretending to be anxious, he wore a
cold and indifferent expression on his face.
"Well..." Susan hesitated, not expecting Luke to actually ask for her opinion. She pretended to ponder
for a moment before continuing, "No matter what, there''s still the Norman family supporting Bianca. You
should apologize to the Norman family.
"You must understand their influence. If they get upset, they''ll put financial pressure on T Corporation.
So, you must apologize sincerely and hold a press conference..."
"That''s enough," Old Master Crawford interrupted, refusing to hear Susan''s insincere suggestions. He
knew well that Susan was the type that liked to ignite chaos. She just wanted Luke to let the situation
worsen.
Susan''s mouth opened but then closed awkwardly.
Old Master Crawford''s support for Luke was irksome to her.
It reminded her when Louis was not married yet. He was a bit yful but never got into any trouble.
Even so, Old Master Crawford scolded him anyway.
He even brought her into it as his mother.
Now that Luke''s affair was exposed by the media, instead of scolding him, Old Master Crawford was
displeased with her after she just said a few words.
Susan wanted to say that Old Master Crawford was showing favoritism, but she knew better than to
voice that thought. It would only lead to another scolding.
"I''m only thinking about what''s best for Luke. We all know what that woman, Luca, is like. But things are
different now. Not only do we know about the affair, but the press knows about it too. We need to take
this matter seriously," Susan emphasized her good intentions.
Luke slightly nodded. His eyes showed impatience. "I''ll handle this matter."
Susan looked at the two men in front of her.
The old master appeared angry, and that anger seemed to be directed at her. Meanwhile, the young
man wore a cold, indifferent expression as if the situation was not a big deal at all.
She stamped her foot in frustration. "Forget it, Luke. You can think of me as a meddling mother. I can''t
control the foolish things young people do. Even if your mother were toe back, she wouldn''t be
able to either."
Susan did not give Luke a chance to reply and turned to Old Master Crawford. "Father, I''ll go back now.
Thea is waiting for me at home."
"Since you know Thea is waiting for you at home, don''te to Crawford Manor if there''s nothing
urgent. It''s not good to leave the child at home alone. The doctor also said that as a grandmother, you
should spend more time with the child," said Old Master Crawford. He lifted his eyelids, but he was not
looking at her.
He could not be bothered with his daughter-inw, who seemed to thrive on chaos.
Louis had hired a child psychologist to conduct a psychological assessment on Thea.
The expert had pointed out some issues with the child''s psychology and rmended that her
parents and elders should lovingly apany and care for the child. Otherwise, she would be
increasingly withdrawn.
Old Master Crawford was aware of this matter as well.
Susan hesitated for a moment, unable to express her thoughts. In the end, she left the topic concerning
Luke where it was. "I''ll go upstairs to get something before heading back."
Then, she turned around and headed upstairs.
Luke noticed that it was gettingte. He still had work to do when he got back. Hence, he said to Old
Master Crawford, "Grandpa, I''ll go back now."
"Okay. You need to resolve this matter as soon as possible," replied Old Master Crawford. He knew
that Luke had already sought help from the Norman family and Wanda to force Luca to admit her true
identity.
However, there were still rifications to be made to the public.
"Yes. I should be able to resolve it by tomorrow," said Luke. Jason and Gale were already working on it.
The news about him and Luca would be removed from the headlines by tomorrow.
"Also, we need to fade this memory from the public''s mind as soon as possible," reminded Old Master
Crawford.
Even if they rified the situation, if the public continued to discuss it, it would not be good for the
Crawford family and T Corporation.
"I have another juicy piece of gossip ready," said Luke. To fade the memory from the public''s mind, they
needed to expose a piece of even more sensational news.
Did Karen not want him to be famous?
In that case, he would provide her with another piece of news. This matter would only affect Karen but
not the Mallory family. Therefore, it would not impact his rtionship with Percy.
If Karen''s news was not scandalous enough, he still had several celebrity scandals in his hands that
had not been exposed yet.
These news were not collected by him but by a newspaperpany under T Corporation.
The only reason he had not released them was that the involved celebrities were quite high-profile, and
they had endorsement deals with apany under the Mallory family. That was why he had
temporarily held off on publishing those stories.
Old Master Crawford knew that Luke would handle things well, so he nodded and waved his hand. He
indicated that Luke could go home.
After Luke left Crawford Manor, he noticed a ck sedan was following him while he was driving on the
road.

Luke realized that their tracking skills were not very sophisticated, so he knew the people following him
were not highly skilled. As a result, he did not immediately try to shake the car off but let it follow him.
The ck sedan continued to tail him until it stopped near the entrance of his residential area.
Luke parked his car in a temporary parking spot, got out of the car, and approached the sedan.
The two people inside the ck sedan were flustered when they saw Luke walking toward them.
The reporter in the driver''s seat, who was holding a DSLR camera, asked, "Did he notice us?"
"He''s been trained. It''s normal for him to notice us," replied the reporter in the passenger seat. As they
watched Lukeing closer, he asked. "Should we drive away now?"
"It''s toote..." The reporter in the passenger seat watched as Luke approached them from a distance.
He eventually came to a halt just outside the driver''s side of the door.
Luke knocked on the car window, signaling them to roll it down.
"Well, we''re dead. But he won''t actually harm us." The reporter in the driver''s seat bit the bullet and
lowered the window. "Mr. Crawford, it''ste. Is there anything we can do for you?"
Despite the friendly demeanor of the reporter, Luke did not show any hint of a smile. He nced at the
camera in the reporter''s hands and asked, "Why are you following me at such ate hour? Which
newspaperpany are you from?"
The reporter in the passenger seat only realized now that he was still holding the camera. He could not
help but feel regret. He should have hidden it so that Luke would not see it.
Incidents where celebrities smashed reporters'' cameras happened almost every other day. He was
worried that his camera might end up in pieces.
He had not even gotten any juicy exclusives.
The two reporters exchanged nces with each other.
Was it still possible to drive away at this point?
"Which one?" Luke''s tone was calm, but his presence was imposing.
