In the living room.
The three kids sat side by side on the sofa, enjoying their fruits.
Rainie turned to look at Tommy, and she asked, “Tommy, Ms. Luca attended your school's parentteacher
conference today. Did anything happen?"
"Yes!" Tommy immediately put down his fork and started to tell his siblings what happened today.
"Rainie, Charlie's parents apologized to us!"
"Charlie? Is he the one who fell in front of you, didn't dare to admit it, and blamed you for it?" Lanie knew about the
events of yesterday.
Tommy seemed to have mentioned Charlie's name when he told them about it yesterday.
"Yes. That's him! His mother was terrifying yesterday. She looked like she was going to eat Ms. Luca alive. But she
chickened out today. She kept on apologizing to us. Daddy sued them, so they came to apologize to keep the
dispute out of court," explained Tommy as he danced with joy.
Tommy had behaved himself when he was there at the scene, but he was secretly thrilled.
"They aren't afraid of getting sued. They're afraid of Daddy." Lanie hit the mark.
Rainie agreed and nodded her head.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Why are they afraid of Daddy?" Tommy asked with his head tilted. He did not understand why Charlie's parents
were not afraid of getting sued.
He knew that many people were afraid of getting sued and getting into a lawsuit on TV.
"Charlie's father's name is Brigham Hudson, and his mother's name is Myra Chavez," said Lanie.
Tommy widened his eyes as he asked, "How did you know that?"
"That's impressive." Rainie pursed her lips, trying not to smile. She saw Lanie looking into Charlie's parents
yesterday.
Lanie used a tablet to search for Charlie's parent's information through Charlie's full name yesterday.
"Your classmate's parents are in the lighting business. It's quite a big field in A City, but it depends on a lot of
industries, like architectural design." Lanie analyzed the situation.
Before Lanie could finish his sentence, Tommy immediately understood and nodded. "I got it. He would be losing a
lot of business if he offends Daddy!"
“Yes. The architectural design projects that T Corporation works on have taken their business to the next level,"
replied Lanie. He knew Charlie's parents' lighting company exported their products to another country. They were
wholesaling and retailing their products in the local market too, but they gained most of the profits from these
projects.
They knew they would be out of luck if they offended Luke. That was why they were so anxious about it.
Tommy heaved a sigh and said, "That explains why they apologized."
"They should apologize. Your classmate defamed you yesterday, and his mother was rude to Ms. Luca. It's only right
they apologized," added Lanie. Tommy and Luca did nothing wrong. They did not deserve to be scolded by Charlie's
parents.
"Yes. Ms. Luca told me that one should apologize after doing something wrong. Charlie accused me of something I
didn't do. He was wrong!" said Tommy.
"Alright. Leave it to Daddy. He'll handle this. Let's go upstairs and do our homework," suggested Rainie.
They would usually finish their homework before dinner.
"Okay." Tommy nodded. Then, he grabbed his school bag and jumped off the sofa.
The three kids made their way upstairs to do their homework.
Luca was busy with her research in the study. Only when Aunt Neile came to inform her that it was about time for
dinner did she drop everything and head downstairs.
Luke and the three kids were already sitting at the dining table when Luca arrived at the dining hall.
"Ms. Luca, hurry up and sit down. It's time for dinner." Tommy looked at Luca with a smile on his face.
"Alright. Thank you," replied Luca. She sat down on the chair right beside Luke.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Have you removed the stitches?" Luke noticed that Luca's right hand was no longer bandaged.
"Yes. I had some time today, so I went to remove the stitches." Luca nodded. "Dr. Park helped me to remove them."
Luca stressed Johann's name, telling Luke that she got his permission before she removed the stitches. She did not
remove the stitches on her own.
"Okay." Luke nodded, staring at her with his deep eyes.
Aunt Neile and the maid served the dishes on the table. Luca took the initiative to help them with the food.
She placed a slice of pizza on Luke's plate first. Then, she gave the children each a slice of pizza.
At last, she grabbed a slice for herself.
The three kids enjoyed their pizza.
Luke took a few bites and suddenly asked, "Did anything happen during the parent-teacher conference today?"
"Charlie's parents apologized to us. Does that count?" Luca gently bit her fork and decided to tell Luke what
happened even though she knew Luke probably already knew about it.
"Yes, I told Mr. Zac to sue them," replied Luke
"Now they know you're Tommy's father. That's why they apologized," Luca uttered slowly. If it were not for the
demand letter that had Luke's name on it when it was sent to them, the couple would have continued to behave
arrogantly.
“What are you planning to do?" asked Luke.
