They did not expect to see Luca here at the parent-teacher conference.
Mrs. Hudson turned around and glanced at Luca with a complicated look on her face.
She had a feeling that Luca had something to do with the lawsuit. At the same time, she was confused about why
Luke would stand up for her.
Today, Luke asked his lawyer to deliver the letter to their company because of what happened yesterday. Mrs.
Hudson knew Luke was capable of doing so.
However, it did not look like he wanted to teach them a lesson for his child. It seemed more like he was standing up
for the woman.
It was because she drove Luca mad yesterday.
“Myra, it's your fault. How are we supposed to explain this to Luke Crawford and ask him not to go against our
company?" Brigham, Charlie's father, could not help but blame her.
Myra felt aggrieved. Brigham had been telling her it was her fault since they received the lawyer's letter.
However, she could not be blamed for everything!
Myra could not help but complain, "Enough. How would I know the child's father is Luke Crawford? Besides, Charlie
wouldn't have lied to me if he wasn't afraid of getting punished by you. If it weren't for him, would I have offended
her?"
Myra hurried to the hospital after she left school yesterday.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCharlie had already finished his medical examination when she arrived at the hospital.
Myra could not help but ask Charlie why he lied. The child eventually cried and confessed that he was worried
Brigham would punish him. That was why he deliberately said that Tommy pushed him.
Brigham was pissed at the thought of what his son told them. He was furious and resentful. He could not help but
mutter, "That's very mean of him. It's just a child's lie. Why is he taking it so seriously? He even sent a lawyer's
letter!"
"Aren't you the same? Any parent would be worried seeing their child get hurt. I was just worried about Charlie.
That's why I spoke a little louder than usual. She's such a sensitive woman. This is mindblowing." Myra stopped
putting on the apologetic expression on her face, and there was anger on it now.
Brigham glowered at her and warned her, “Watch your words. Haven't you gotten me into enough trouble?"
"I..." Myra glanced at the podium and shut her mouth. The principal stood on the podium, and he was about to give
his speech.
The principal gave a warm smile as he looked at the parents sitting below. Those were his sponsors of the new
academic building.
The parents were wealthy, but he remembered that the wealth of the parents in this class was higher than
average. One of the students was Luke Crawford's child.
The principal turned in Tommy's direction. However, he was startled when he saw an unknown woman.
Still, he was used to such occasions. He took his draft out and started to give his speech about the school's plans of
building a new academic building.
Luca looked down as she placed her phone in the drawer. She sent Luke a message: [The principal is talking about
building a new academic building. He's probably going to ask for some sponsorships. What should I do?]
Luke replied: [Ask him to look for me.]
Luke had always contributed to the school, but he would only talk about it with the principal in person.
Luke was generous when it came to providing educational resources. However, he kept a low profile. The parents
would not know that he was part of it if they did not look at the contribution board.
Luke had personally told the principal not to make it known to the public. That was why there was hardly anyone
who knew that Luke had been sponsoring the school.
[Okay.] Luca put her phone away.
The principal was still looking at his draft, giving his speech on the podium. Luca listened to what he said. He just
wanted to say that he hoped the parents could support the school.
Then, he said that a designer from T Corporation would be in charge of the architectural design of the new
academic building. They would try their best to build a modern and futuristic academic building and provide the
students with a comfortable environment to study.
Tommy heard them mentioning the T Corporation. He tugged on Luca's sleeves and said, “Ms. Luca, isn't that
Daddy's—"
"Yes." Luca nodded and winked at him, signaling him not to continue talking about it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe construction company was supposed to be responsible for the design of the academic building. The reason why
the principal chose T Corporation was nothing more than to reduce costs.
Luke would not charge him a high price for the building design, after all.
Luca muttered to herself that it was smart of him to do so.
The parents who came today had businesses specializing in different industries. The cost of the academic building
would be lower if every parent chipped in to pay for them.
When Brigham heard the principal mentioning T Corporation, he raised his hand and said, "Sir, my company will
supply the lighting for the new academic building."
"Thank you, Mr. Hudson. That's very kind of you." The principal beamed with joy.
Once Brigham said that, the other parents refused to be outdone. To make themselves look good, one of the
parents offered to supply the podium and blackboard, while some of them offered to supply the students' tables
and chairs.
The entire class offered to supply everything that was needed in the new academic building.
When the other parents noticed that there was nothing they could help with, they suggested chipping in some
money.
The principal immediately asked Mrs. Tuffey to record their names down. After the parent-teacher conference
ended, he would bring the relevant staff and pay a visit to the parents.
Luca felt helpless when she looked at how cheerful the principal was.
