"You're the host," said Luke. When he was in the front yard, those people were only interested in striking up a
conversation with Luke. Luke had no choice but to talk to them. It was for the sake of the Crawford family's
reputation.
However, Louis was the star today.
Therefore, Luke seized the opportunity to bring Louis along with him to make them realize who the real star of the
show was.
"Brother..." Louis knew that Luke was doing this for him.
Even though his work was stable now, he needed to expand his connections to grow his business. Those people
outside were the key to growing his network.
"Lead us out through the back door," said Luke.
"Alright." Louis did not say anything when he saw how determined Luke was. He led them to the back door and
opened the door for them.
“Brother, Dr. Craw, I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused today," Louis apologized again.
"Hurry back. The guests are still waiting for you in the front yard," replied Luke. He chose to leave through the back
door because he knew that Luca would not like getting too much attention.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Okay." Louis watched Luke, Luca, and the kids leave through the back door. Only then did he close the door.
He returned to the living room and saw Yuri rushing in, "What are you doing here? The guests are waiting in the
front yard."
Louis handed the surveillance footage he saved on his phone to Yuri to watch.
"Isn't that Mrs. Jackman and Mrs. Malcolm?" exclaimed Yuri. She knew Mrs. Jackman and Mrs. Malcolm because she
would occasionally accompany Susan to have afternoon tea and go shopping with them. It was to maintain her
relationship with them.
"Where's Brother?" She realized that something was wrong and immediately asked him. She was worried that Luke
was enraged and would make a scene.
"He went home," Louis' face was pale with anger. "He'll investigate this matter, but only when the guests have left."
Yuri replied with an unpleasant expression on her face, "Mrs. Jackman is a friend of Mother's. Mother will be upset if
Brother looks into this. You should talk to him. He's your brother. Try to smooth things over between them."
"He's doing me a favor by choosing to talk about it after the event," Louis clenched his fists. Yuri was not someone
who could not distinguish right from wrong, yet she was speaking up for Mrs. Jackman. It was hard for him to
believe that, and he felt disappointed.
Yuri realized that Louis was angry. She moved her lips but did not say a word.
It was indeed inappropriate for Mrs. Jackman to do that to Luca.
Yuri knew that Louis personally invited Luca over.
Mrs. Jackman was not showing any respect to him by treating Luca that way.
Yuri suddenly understood why Louis got so angry...
"Forget it. The guests are outside now. We have to go out," said Yuri. They had to entertain the guests and maintain
their manners as a host.
"Alright." Louis knew there were still guests in the front yard. Thus, he walked out to the front yard with Yuri.
In the front yard.
After instructing the security guard to delete the surveillance footage, Mrs. Jackman and Susan returned to the
front yard with ease.
Mrs. Jackman looked around. She could not find where Luke was, not to mention Luca. She frowned.
"Where did you go?" Mrs. Jackman's husband, Lonnie Jackman, walked toward her and asked.
Mrs. Jackman's heart tightened as she replied in a guilty tone, "I was just having tea with Madam Crawford and Mrs.
Malcolm in the backyard. What's wrong?"
"Am I not allowed to look for you when there's nothing wrong?" Lonnie did not ask more questions when he heard
that she was with the two rich wives.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Well, you're always with that whore. When do you ever come to me? I'm not used to you saying such things to me
now." Mrs. Jackman could not help but sneer at him forgetting about her when he was with the mistress.
Lonnie's expression hardened and replied, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. Oh, by the way, did you get what you wanted?" Mrs. Jackman asked. Lonnie had always
valued his relationship with the Crawford family, which was why he came to the party with her.
Otherwise, she would have either attended the event alone or Lonnie would have come with his mistress.
They had not attended an event together in a long time.
Susan was the one who invited her to the housewarming party today.
Lonnie knew she was coming. Hence, he tagged along because he had an ulterior motive.
"No. Aren't you close with Madam Crawford? You can ask her to help. I'd like to talk to Luke alone and discuss
working together." Lonnie wanted her to help.
He could not get a word in when Luke was surrounded by many people.
Lonnie wanted to collaborate with T Corporation, but how could he leave a good impression on Luke if he did not
get the chance to speak to him?
Not to mention working together.
