Chapter 3179 Did You Take A Job? As they talked about what Old Master Crawford did, Louis could not help but feel resigned.
However, the old master's intentions were good. He just could not bear to see Louis be looked down on by the others, so it was not really his fault. Since Old Master Crawford was the one behind this whole thing, Louis could not say much about it.
Louis let out a light sigh.
Luke said, "Grandpa is tired of Mother's nagging. If you talk to her, she won't bother Grandpa anymore." Susan's request was simple. She wanted Louis to move back.
Whether he moved back or not did not matter much. As long as they had a conversation, Susan would stop returning to Crawford Manor to bother Old Master Crawford and force him to intervene.
Louis understood. Even though it was Old Master Crawford's mistake, only he could resolve it at this point.
It would be good for Susan to know that he had no intention of selling his company. That way, she would not hold onto such thoughts.
After all, he had invested a lot of money and sold many properties to start his business. It took countless days and nights to build it up to its current scale. This was not something an ordinary person could achieve. Of course, his family nplayed a part.
"I've made it clear. She wont bother Grandpa in the future," replied Louis, between Louis and Luke, he had a rough idea of what was going on.
"No, I'm not." Louis shook his head. "Living in the apartment is fine. It's near the school and Yuri's office," answered Louis. Whether it was due to the change of environment or because Susan was not there, Thea's temperament had improved a lot.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe no longer woke up in the middle of the night or had trouble sleeping. She also seemed much happier.
Louis recalled what the psychologist told him about Thea's psychological issues being partly caused by the environment at Crawford Manor and the adults' conflicts. As parents and elders, they should not put too much pressure on the child.
Louis had initially thought it was because he and Yuri did not spend enough twith Thea, but it seemed things were not like that. Perhaps it was the pressure Susan put on Thea.
Rainie was several years older than Thea, so she excelled in various aspects. Perhaps Susan wanted his child to outshine everyone else. That was why she constantly pushed Thea to improve herself and becmore outstanding.
This would bring immense pressure to Thea, which could explain why Thea becmore cheerful after leaving the villa. It was because Susan was no longer around to constantly bring up those matters in front of Thea.
Thus, Thea was able to relax a little.
"Alright." Luke was not surprised by Louis' decision not to move back to the villa.
He had chosen that apartment for them because it was close to the school, making it convenient for Thea. By shortening the commute to school, she could get a bit more rest and be in better shape. It was his way of showing care.
"If you don't move back, aren't you worried that she'll bother you every day? " teased Percy. He had witnessed the relentless determination of a mother set on bothering her son, and it was truly remarkable.
"She can go ahead. If it gets annoying, I'll just block her," Louis said nonchalantly.
Previously, he would not have done this, but having tried it now, he found blocking her to be a good solution. At least, his life would be more peaceful.
Once one had done certain things, doing them again did not seem like a big deal. That was how Louis felt now. If Susan could live her life and stop causing trouble, he would definitely do his duties as her son.
However, if Susan could not be content with her current life, then she could not blLouis for being ruthless and not showing any mercy.
"Con, let's have a drink." Louis raised his glass.
The other men followed suit, clinking their glasses together.
After finishing up the barbecue, the women sat down by the pavilion to chat while the kids went to the living room to play puzzles.
The men, on the other hand, continued to gather around the grill, drinking and discussing matters.
Gale glanced over at the pavilion, figuring that those on the other side could not hear their conversation. Thus, he asked, "Boss, I've located two bases of the Island of Despair in A City. One is confirmed because we've seen Dr. Craw's brother coming in and out of there. We're still confirming the other one." "Okay. Once it's confirmed, let's keep it under wraps," replied Luke. They were all allies here. Almost all of them were unrelated to the Island of Despair.
Except for Louis. He would be helping them when it was tto eradicate the Island of Despair.
Hence, discussing matters here was not a problem.
"Don't worry, we won't tip them off. But there's one tricky thing-if there are other bases in A City, I'm concerned that the local police might be short-handed when it comes tto act...." said Gale.
When it was tfor them to deal with the Island of Despair, they would definitely have to rely on the local police to handle the bases within A City.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey would primarily focus on dealing with the core of the Island of Despair.
If there were too many bases, the police might have to divide their efforts.
However, if the police were short on manpower, they might be at a disadvantage. Based on their m experience eradicating one of their bases in X City, each base was equipped with heavy weapons. Their weapons were more advanced than those in the hands of the police, which could put them at a disadvantage.
Percy narrowed his eyes. "We can't be sure about this yet, but if action is taken, it'll be the first tA CityM faces an organization like the Island of Despair. They'll take it seriously, and they won't play around with the lives of those policemen." "Let's hope so." Gale was not optimistic.
Percy glanced at him. "Have you forgotten? The incident in X City shocked the police force over there. If they find out it's the Island of Despair, they'll definitely take it seriously and increase their equipment accordingly." Gale thought what he said made sense.
"Is Matysh going to court the day after tomorrow?" Gordan suddenly asked.
All eyes turned to him.
The others were familiar with that nexcept for Louis.
"Why? Why are you concerned about that? Did you accept a job?" asked Gale.
Gordan was a freelancer. If he was interested in the job and the other party could afford his price, he would take it on.
"No." Gordan shook his head and then added, "They askedto help with a kidnapping, but I declined. Seriously, that guy has those kinds of intentions toward Bianca, and he thinks I'd help him out? That's ridiculous." He knew that if he helped, Matysh would definitely escape and return to Russia. He would not do such a thing for money because it would not sit right with Luke and his wife.
