"She's the kind of person who doesn't give up easily. Don't worry. Leave the rest to me. I'll arrange it," Luke said. He
would deal with this matter.
Wanda looked at him as her eyes gleamed. She nodded and thought of Bianca.
Poor Bianca. No one knew her whereabouts now. Moreover, her identity had been stolen by some impostor.
Wanda felt a little wistful. The maid came in and she snapped back into reality. She said, “Let's start preparing
lunch.”
"Alright." The maid nodded and headed into the kitchen.
Wanda no longer thought about Bianca. Two more people were joining them for lunch today. She planned to help in
the kitchen, so she said, "Luke, I'll be helping out in the kitchen. Tea is ready. You and Ms. Craw can just make
yourselves at home."
"Sure. I'll go upstairs and continue the chess game with Grandpa," said Luke as he headed to the stairs.
Luca was hanging around in the garden. She still could not calm herself down after seeing her grandfather and
aunt again.
They were her family.
Queenie gave her life, and they managed to acknowledge each other in the end. However, her bond with Queenie
was not even close to the one she had with the Rayne family. After all, it was the Rayne family who raised her.
She wandered around for a while until the doorbell rang again.
Luca looked in the direction of the front door and wondered whether it was Marie again.
However, she had just been taken away by the guards not long ago. How was it possible that she came back again
so soon?
Wanda came out to answer the door and saw Luca standing there. She asked, "Ms. Craw, why don't you go inside
and take a seat?"
"I think the garden is nice. That's why I'd like to take a walk here," Luca smiled and explained.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWanda nodded and did not say anything more. She went to open the door.
There was a middle-aged man in a suit standing at the door. When he saw Wanda, he put a smile on his face and
said, "Hello, Madam. I'm the estate manager here. May I know if Mr. Crawford is inside?"
Wanda reckoned that this was how Luke had decided to deal with the matter. She let him in and said, "Yes, he's
inside. Please come in."
The estate manager smiled and walked into the villa. After knowing that the owner of the villa had some sort of
relationship with Luke, he tried to flatter her. “Oh, I can see that you've been staying here for quite some time. May
I know if you have any opinions regarding the environment and villa constructions here?"
Wanda was not very particular about the living requirements here, and she had no demands for the house either.
She shook her head and replied, "No. They're just fine."
The estate manager let out a sigh of relief when he heard that she was satisfied. "I'm glad you're happy with things
here. If there's anything we're not doing well, or if there are any facilities around here that need to be improved,
please don't hesitate to tell us. We value the opinions of the owners of the estate very much."
Wanda listened to the estate manager who kept talking to her. She thought that it must have something to do with
Luke, so she simply brushed him off and said, "Alright. I got it. Come on in."
The estate manager followed her into the house.
Luca saw them, and out of curiosity, she went into the house too.
After Wanda told the estate manager to sit down and make himself comfortable, she went upstairs to inform Luke.
Luke came down after he knew the estate manager had arrived.
When the estate manager saw that it was really Luke, he stood up immediately to show his respect. "Hello, Mr.
Crawford. It's nice to meet you."
"Hello. Please, take a seat." Luke sat on the armchair opposite the estate manager.
Luca was sitting on another couch not far away. She looked at the two of them and planned to listen to what they
were talking about.
The estate manager sat down. He looked nervous, and it was mainly because Luke was expressionless, which gave
him a bad feeling. "Mr. Crawford, did you invite me here to discuss your dissatisfaction with our estate?"
Luke listened to the manager's tentative question. He nodded right away and said, "Yes, I did."
"Ah, have we done something wrong?" The estate manager became nervous all of a sudden.
Luke took out his phone and opened his gallery. Then, he handed Marie's photo to him to see. "This woman often
comes here to harass the owners of this villa. Previously, the maid has informed your security guards about this
and they sent her away together one time. However, this person was still able to get into the community. Letting
strangers enter and leave the villa district as they wish... How could you let this happen?"
The estate manager broke into a cold sweat while listening to every word he said.
The guard who informed him just now had explained to him that security measures were usually stricter at night.
During the daytime, the guards would usually allow people to enter if they were properly dressed and behaved
normally. Also, they would have to name the residents' house numbers and family names.
The point was, although they had chased this person away before, the resident didn't blacklist her. Hence, the
security guards did not handle it according to the standard procedures.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Crawford. It's our fault." The manager apologized. Even though it was partly the fault of the resident,
the manager had no choice but to bear all responsibility.
Luke did not blame him too much. He knew that Wanda was responsible for this situation too.
He said, "I'll let this pass, but this woman has to be blacklisted. If there's anyone who would like to visit this house,
you must get Ms. Rayne's permission before you let them in."
Wanda did not have any friends. She would spend her time at home taking care of Old Man Rayne. Hence, she did
not have much social interaction with others. There was barely anyone who would frequently come to visit them.
Hence, they did not have many visitors.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt the same time, they could prevent Marie from taking revenge by sending others into the villa district to harass
Wanda.
The estate manager nodded and promised immediately. "Alright. That won't be a problem. I'll give the orders later,
and I can guarantee that no one will ever disturb Ms. Rayne's life anymore.
"Also, Ms. Craw will probably be coming here more often in the future. Just let her in. There's no need to report
about this," Luke added.
The estate manager nodded and agreed. He took a photo of Luca after getting her permission so that every guard
could remember her appearance.
After dealing with the matter, Luke nodded and sent the estate manager away.
When Luca saw this, there was only one sentence in her mind that lingered—this was probably Luke Crawford's way
of intimidating others.
However, his arrangements were good, indeed.
Still, why did he make her a special case?
Luca thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Crawford, I have a question."
Luke knew what she wanted to ask, so he replied immediately, "You'll have to regularly come over to check Old Man
Rayne's pulse and provide follow-up treatment. This is for your convenience."
Luca nodded her head stiffly. Well, that explained it. That was very thoughtful of him.
Wanda was satisfied with Luke's arrangement. The maid had already finished preparing the dishes, and she called
out to them for lunch.
Wanda said, "Lunch is ready. Come on, let's head to the dining room to have lunch."
Luca and Luke stood up together at the same time. They were both in sync with each other.
Wanda glanced at them with a thoughtful look in her eyes. Then, she went upstairs to bring Old Man Rayne down to
have lunch together.
