“Yes.” Rhett and the researchers left the office together.Rhett did not return to the laboratory. He returned to his office instead.Mo Stone noticed a group of people walking into Luca's office a moment ago. She could not help but ask with curiosity, "Mr. Link, what happened? Why did Dr. Craw and the other professors gather all their researchers and assistants in their respective offices?"Luca was not the only one who did that in the whole building. That was why Mo Stone was curious about it.“Do you know about Mr. Whitlock being a corporate spy?” asked Rhett. There was no need to conceal the matter. The company would announce it when the time came.“He was a corporate spy?” Mo Stone widened her eyes. She never thought about it. “Yes. Mr. Crawford told the professors. That’s why the professors gathered their researchers and assistants to ask them whether or not they’ve ever revealed confidential information to Mr. Whitlock,” added Rhett.“That’s scary. The company has just s
Tommy was Luca’s child. She knew what it meant when she heard that. Luca noticed the hesitancy in his voice. She could not help but keep a straight face. “Did you get yourself into trouble?”“I didn’t…” Tommy sounded a little upset. He did not want to make this call, but the teacher insisted on asking his guardian to come to school.If Tommy asked his father to come to school, it was inevitable that he would be lectured when he went back home.Besides, his father was busy with work.Hence, Tommy discussed it with his teacher. His teacher knew who his father was too. Thus, the teacher agreed that it would be fine as long as it was his guardian.Tommy dared not to look for his great-grandpa either. He had no choice but to call her.After all, Luca was his mother!“Tell your teacher that I’ll be there in 30 minutes.” Luca glanced at the time and assumed that it would take 20 minutes for her to reach Tommy’s school.“Okay, Ms. Luca. I’ll be waiting for you.” Something crossed Tom
Mrs. Tuffey shook her head and apologized. “The surveillance cameras stopped working yesterday. That’s why there’s no recorded footage of what happened in the classroom.”“My child has never lied to anyone before. He said it was Tommy who pushed him. His statement is the best evidence,” yelled Mrs. Hudson.Luca ignored her and questioned Mrs. Tuffey, “Mrs. Tuffey, did you ask the other kids?”"They're still having class now," replied Mrs. Tuffey. The incident happened during recess. The kids were having class now.Mrs. Tuffey thought of making the decision after the two child’s guardians communicated with each other.“Mrs. Hudson chooses to believe her child, and I believe Tommy isn’t a child who’d hurt others. Mrs. Tuffey, I’d like to talk to Tommy.” Luca made a request. Now, the only way was to ask Tommy what had happened. Only then would she find out the truth.“Let me bring Tommy here. Please wait for a while.” Mrs. Tuffey rose to her feet and marched out of the office.Mrs.
“Why should I listen to you? I’m going to call the police if you don’t transfer the money to me. I’ll let the police officers arrest this little bastard.” Mrs. Hudson was anxious.Luca frowned and covered Tommy’s ears.“Madam, I’m recording our conversation. What you said is enough for me to look for a lawyer and file a complaint,” warned Luca with a serious tone. Who could accept their child being called a little bastard when the child had done nothing wrong? The look on Mrs. Hudson’s face changed. However, she remembered that looking for a lawyer was something someone did just to threaten the other party. Oftentimes, they would just let the matter be. She replied boldly, “Go ahead and look for a lawyer, then. I’ll call the police too.” “Fine. Go ahead. I believe in Tommy anyway. I’m sure he didn’t do anything wrong.” Luca had faith in him.Tommy would not lie to her to evade responsibility. Mrs. Tuffey could sense the tension in the air, and she immediately interrupted, “Mrs
“Mrs. Tuffey, I can understand if you’re reluctant to give me the information, but I’m guessing you know who Tommy’s father is. It’s a simple task for him to look into Mrs. Hudson’s background if he wants to. Besides, I have the audio recording on my phone. I’m not afraid of losing the lawsuit.” Luca made up her mind to sue Charlie’s mother. She could not stand others bullying her son that way.Mrs. Tuffey knew Tommy was Luke's son. She dared not offend Luke. Hence, she said, "Let me look for it. But I'll only give you her name and address."“Thank you. We’ll look into her background to search for the remaining information.” Luca sat there, waiting for Mrs. Tuffey to give her the information.Mrs. Tuffey opened the student handbook. Each student's parent's information was written down in it. She found Mrs. Hudson’s information and copied it down on a paper for Luca. “I can only provide you with this information.”Luca glanced at the address and name. With these two pieces of in
It was Tina who answered the call in the secretary’s office. “Hello, it’s Tina here.”"Hello, Ms. Tina. Dr. Craw is at the front desk, asking to see Mr. Crawford. May I know if Mr. Crawford is available now?" the receptionist asked. Visitors who came to the office seldom looked for Luke. They usually would only look for Jason and the secretaries working in the secretary's office.“Dr. Craw? Let her in,” replied Tina. Even though Luke was not in his office now, Tina dared not to stop Luca. “Alright. Got it.” The receptionist hung up the call. She smiled and looked at Luca, “Dr. Craw, Ms. Tina is upstairs waiting for you.” “Okay, thank you.” After Luca thanked her, she immediately headed upstairs and arrived at the floor where the president’s office was. Tina was waiting for her in the elevator hall."Dr. Craw, you're here," Tina smiled and greeted Luca when she saw her walking out of the elevator.“Yes. I have something to discuss with Mr. Crawford,” replied Luca."He's havin
Luca placed the magazine back and waited for Luke to come in.The moment Luke stepped into his office, Luca looked up, and their eyes met.“Mr. Crawford.” Luca broke the silence. Luke nodded and immediately closed the door behind him. “Give me a minute. I need to handle some documents first.” “Alright.” What Luca was about to discuss with him was not that urgent either. Hence, she picked up the magazine beside her and read it while waiting for Luke to deal with the documents.Luke quickly read through an urgent document. Eighteen minutes had passed when he finally signed it. He pressed the intercom number and said to Jason, “Come in.”Ten seconds later, Jason knocked on Luke’s office door. Then, he pushed the door and came in. “Boss, I’m here.”“It’s done.” Luke handed the document he had signed a moment ago to Jason. Jason quickly trotted toward him and took the document from Luke. Then, he turned around and left the office. He gently closed the door after he left.Luca pu
“Have it your way.” Luke sounded helpless. He did not head out right away. Instead, he discussed with Luca, “It’s okay not to hold hands, but you have to promise me something.”Luca did not expect him to set a condition. Hence, she asked, “What is it?”“Don’t reject me tonight.” There was a touch of intimacy colored in Luke's deep voice. He noticed the fine hair beside her ears. Then, he lifted his hand and tucked her hair behind her ears. Luca's ears were burning red after being touched. She lowered her head, took a few steps forward, and headed out. "Let's go out for lunch."Even though Luke did not get a response, he was in a good mood. Luca’s silence meant that she agreed to it.Luke secretly rejoiced as he watched Luca’s ears turn red.They had been married for years, yet she was still very shy.They had been married for many years, and they were blessed with three kids. They could have lived happily together for the rest of their lives.It was just that someone was alway
