After Luke was done talking to Old Master Crawford, he hung up.


    Luca ced a te of fruit in front of him and asked, "How''s everything?"


    She knew that Karen would go to that man today, so she was concerned about this matter. Finding that


    man meant that she would give Luke a hard time too.


    It was a work day, so when she got home and asked Luke about it, he said that he had not seen Karen.


    It was not until Old Master Crawford called did she realize that Karen had gone to him for an


    exnation instead...


    When she realized this, she was even more curious to know what Old Master Crawford said.


    "Grandfather said that she went to him with Ss'' voice recording," Luke said while smiling. It seemed


    like the media was driving Karen insane.


    Otherwise, why would she go to Old Master Crawford with just a mere voice recording as evidence?


    "A voice recording.." Luca could not hide her surprise. Was it a recording of Luke and Ss''


    conversation?


    However, she was aware that Luke had nevere in contact with Ss before, so such a recording


    would not exist.


    If it were a recording of Ss and someone else, perhaps they had mentioned Luke''s name.


    What kind of recording did Karen use as evidence?


    Luke noticed her puzzled look, so he exined, "It wasn''t anything crucial. It was just Ss testifying."


    "Was he using you of being behind this?" Luca was surprised. To her, it seemed like the suspect


    had confessed everything.

    However, the police could not arrest people just based on the suspect''s words. They still needed


    evidence, right?


    "Yes, she went to ask Grandpa for an exnation with this recording." As serious as he was, he still


    could not help but be amused by Karen''s actions.


    Luca clicked her tongue and said, "Has Madam Mallory lost her mind because of what happened to


    Pierre?"


    Did she really use the recording as evidence?


    "Perhaps, but Grandpa said that Karen will probably go berserk these few days, so he gave me a


    heads up. If she shows up at the manor, I might have to stop by," said Luke.


    “How troublesome." Luca put a palm to her forehead. Karen would most definitely cause a lot of trouble


    now that she had caught Ss. She might even be barking mad.


    Luca just wanted Luke to live in peace. He was already busy enough with work, yet he still had to deal


    with people like Karen. Just thinking about it annoyed her.


    "I''ll just let her be. I''ve prepared a gift for her anyway, so she can make all the fuss she wants." Luke


    smiled, and when he noticed Luca''s frown, he smoothed it over gently with his hands.


    "Don''t worry about Karen. Are you still concerned about what Gale and Rain are doing?" Luke said.


    He did not have to personally deal with this matter himself at all.


    "I know that they''re very meticulous, but what gift did you prepare for her?" Luca was curious as she


    knew that Luke was not talking about that kind of gift.


    Perhaps it was something to mislead Karen.


    "She should have found it by now, so I may have to go back to the manor tomorrow to appease her.


    You''ll know by then." Luke decided to hide it from her for now.


    Luca was a bit disappointed that he did not tell her. Then, she picked up a slice of apple to feed it to


    him. "Have some fruits. You need the vitamins."


    "Yes, Ma''am!" Luke opened his mouth and ate the apple.


    He had never been a fan of fruits, and he could live without them. As long as he had vegetables with


    his meals, it was basically the same.


    However, he would always eat the fruits Luca fed him as he did not want to let down the person he


    loved most.


    Thus, Luke had several pieces of fruit in a row.


    Luca knew that he did not like fruits, but she nodded in satisfaction after realizing how many pieces he


    had eaten. "You''ve had enough fruits for today, so you''re free to go. I''ll go check up on the kids."


    "Okay." Luke''s smile was full of endearment.


    Ever since Luca admitted her true identity, her old habits and manner of talking had returned. Although


    Luke could not call her ''darling'' just yet, he was very happy with this change.


    She was not overly obedient to him now, and they had be much more intimate.


    Now that everything was out in the open, there were no secrets between them anymore. Everything


    could be solved easily.


    Luke watched Luca leave with a happy heart. At the same time, he hoped that the threat of the Ind


    of Despair could be resolved soon so that their family could be reunited.


    The next day, Luke received a call from the butler of Crawford Manor. "Master Luke, Old Master


    Crawford wants you to stop by the manor."


    "Is someone from the Mallory family there?" Luke asked.


    "Yes." Mr. Griffin nced at Karen resignedly. This time, she said that she hade with evidence, but


    she refused to show it unless Luke was there.


    Old Master Crawford despised unreasonable women like her the most, so he asked Luke to stop by.


    "I''m on the way," said Luke.


    It took him half an hour to get from T Corporation to Crawford Manor, and as soon as he entered the


    living room, he saw Karen sitting there with an expressionless face.


    She seemed quite angry.


    Luke walked up to Old Master Crawford and asked, “Grandpa, you asked for me?"


    Old Master Crawford sounded annoyed as he looked at Karen and said, "I''m not the one looking for


    you, it''s her."


    Luke''s gaze fell upon Karen, and she was ring at him, full of hatred.


    "What''s the matter, Karen?" Luke no longer called her Aunt Karen as only people who were close to


    her addressed her that way.


    However, Karen did not care about that. Instead, she put her phone on the coffee table. "Luke, I''ve


    always thought that you were a righteous person. I never imagined that you would be capable of such a


    thing!"


    Luke raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did I do?"


    "Were you the one who got Ss to report about me to the media?" Karen asked, wanting so badly to


    tear him into pieces.


    This report had caused Old Master Mallory to not take her seriously anymore.


    Without his help, how was Pierre going to inherit everything from the Mallory family in the future?


    Karen got even more angry at the thought of that.


    Then, Luke asked nonchntly, "Who''s Ss?"


    Karen had expected that Luke would make excuses, but she did not expect him to say that.


    How could he not know who Ss was when he nned everything? Karen gritted her teeth. "You


    know him better than I do."


    Luke''s face was calm. "I don''t know anyone with that name."


    Karen almost vomited blood from his words!


    She clenched her fists tightly as she thought that the grandfather and grandson of the Crawford family


    were messing with her!


    Old Master Crawford had argued with her earlier, and now, Luke was acting clever by refusing to admit


    knowing who Ss was.


    "Grandpa, do you know who he is?" Seeing as Karen refused to exin, Luke intentionally asked Old


    Master Crawford.
