"Yes, sir," nodded Mr. Griffin. He then walked to the video doorbell camera, and opened the door for the two men
waiting outside the door.
As Old Master Bourne's chauffeur drove into the Crawford family's parking lot, Luca prepared to get into her car.
Luca shot a glance at the driving vehicle, and knew immediately who Old Master Bourne was.
Although his descendants hardly had any connections with Luke, they were an old friend of the Crawford family. She
cooperated with Old Master Bourne's company on two projects when Luke was kidnapped by the Island of Despair
back then.
Their cooperation went smoothly.
However, rumor has it that Old Master Bourne's descendants were not as adept at managing business. That was
why Old Master Bourne was still dealing with some of the important tasks in the company even at his age.
It was Old Master Bourne who dealt with her when they were discussed their cooperation.
Luca remembered her first impression of Old Master Bourne. He was a man who always kept a straight face, but
his gaze was always sharp. Despite his age, every decision he made in investments and projects was always right
on the money.
He barely made any losses. It was almost impossible to profit off him when he was involved.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuca withdrew her gaze, got into her car, and left.
As Old Master Bourne got out of the car, he turned and looked in the direction of Luca.
Lonnie followed suit. As he followed Old Master Bourne's gaze, he asked curiously, "Old Master Bourne, do you
know that woman?"
Old Master Bourne gave him a disdainful look and sized him up.
Lonnie was puzzled. He turned to look in the direction of Luca's car. That woman was beautiful, but should he know
her?
"How could you not know her?" Old Master Bourne took the walking cane his chauffeur handed to him. Although he
was still managing the company, he was aging and needed the cane to help him to walk steadily.
"Who is she?" Lonnie had no recollection of her.
Old Master Bourne shook his head and answered when Lonnie persisted to just stare at him, “She's the one your
unreliable wife injured!”
"She's Luke's..." Lonnie trailed off before promptly shutting his mouth, realizing they were at the Crawford manor.
Not long after they left Louis' house and returned home, Margaret came back home too.
Margaret explained to him in detail about what happened. Her voice was full of hatred, and she emphasized that
the woman was Luke's mistress.
Margaret despised women who were involved in extramarital affairs. That was why she could not control herself.
The woman who left a moment ago was the one whom Margaret injured, so she must be Luke's woman.
"Yes." Old Master Bourne knew what Lonnie wanted to say. He nodded and walked toward the house.
He was always kept informed as he was still active in the business world.
He immediately knew who Luca was with just a mere glance at her face.
Lonnie immediately caught up with him. "Old Master Bourne, that woman actually entered the Crawford manor. Is it
because Old Master Crawford learned about my wife's incident? Is that why he asked that woman to come here to
teach her a lesson?"
Lonnie had such speculations only because he saw the newspaper article today.
The fact that Margaret was taken to custody for assaulting someone had caused a huge sensation in the media.
There were pictures of her being taken away by the police from her home. It was simply disgraceful.
"Do you think that woman looked like she was being lectured just now?" asked Old Master Bourne coldly.
Lonnie's foolishness disgusted him.
Lonnie was like his sons and grandsons. They were dull-witted.
He had no idea how someone like Lonnie managed to grow his company.
If it were not for his capable wife, he would not have helped Lonnie out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLonnie smiled awkwardly.
Luca's expression was calm and it did not seem like she had been lectured when she left.
"Old Master Crawford has always known about that woman's existence. If he didn't agree with Luke's relationship
with her, he would have separated them a long time ago. He wouldn't have waited until now," Old Master Bourne
reminded him. "If you'd like to cooperate with T Corporation and work together with Luke, how can you possibly
convince them to work with you if you don't do a background check?"
"You're right, Old Master Bourne." agreed Lonnie awkwardly. If it were not for the unfortunate situation, he would
not have asked for his cousin's help.
After he told his cousin about his situation, she asked Old Master Bourne for help without a second thought.
Old Master Bourne agreed to help as a favor to his cousin.
However, he did not expect Lonnie to be such a fool.
Old Master Bourne scoffed at him. "Indeed, it's different when you have different parents. You should learn from
your cousin."
The cousin he was referring to was his daughter-in-law who married into the Bourne family.
Even though his sons were not capable, his daughters-in-law all had a good head on their shoulders.
Especially Lonnie's cousin.
