Female Novel
Chapter 2663
“Fine. Just once." Luca could not bear to see her child pleading with her. She also blamed herself forbeing useless.
If it were not for Abel, who was manipulating her, she would not have to use her current identity toattend her child's parent-teacher conference.
She would not have to trouble Old Master Crawford to take care of the kids for her either.
Other than that, Luca wondered why the school was holding a parent-teacher conference at this time.
Luca had only confronted Mrs. Hudson yesterday, and before Luke could do anything, the school wasalready organizing this conference. She thought it was troublesome.novelbin
"That's great. I don't have to trouble Great-grandpa this time!" said Tommy, putting on a smile as a hintof complacency flashed across his eyes.
After breakfast, Zander sent the three kids to school. Luca sat at the dining table, thinking about theparent-teacher conference.
While Aunt Neile cleaned the table, she asked with curiosity, "Ms. Luca, are you having a day offtoday?"
"No. I'm going to work later." Luca shook her head. It was just that Tommy's parent-teacher conferencewas bothering her.
If she argued with Mrs. Hudson in front of the other parents, it would have a bad effect on the kids.
It seemed like Mrs. Hudson did not care if her behavior would be a bad influence on her child. Judgingfrom her vindictive personality, she would certainly make things difficult for Luca in front of everyone.
"I notice that you're sitting here and staring blankly. Is something bothering you?" Aunt Neile askedcaringly.
Luca nodded and replied, "I'm going to attend Tommy's parent-teacher conference. I'm just doing it tohelp out Mr. Crawford, but Tommy was falsely accused of doing something wrong yesterday. Iconfronted the child's mother at the teacher's office, and the child's mother is a vengeful person. I'mcertain that she'll make things difficult for me in front of everyone if I attend the parent-teacherconference today."
Aunt Neile nodded.
Then, Luca asked, "Aunt Neile, if she picks on me, do you I think should mention Tommy's father, Mr.Crawford, to back us up, or should I just ignore her and let her make a scene? Or should I play on hernerves when she makes a move?"
Luca pondered for a moment and thought that all those did not sound like a good idea.
After all, many students and parents would be there watching them.
“Ms. Luca, I'm not a wise person, but I know if my child is being treated unfairly, I'm pretty sure I'll golooking for trouble. We can't just let the child be wronged, right?" said Aunt Neile.
Luca nodded. Yes, she could not let Tommy be treated unfairly.
No matter if it was in front of everyone or in private, if Mrs. Hudson insisted on getting even with Lucafor this, she would try her best to defend Tommy even if things got out of control.
"Alright. I know what to do now. Thank you, Aunt Neile. I'm leaving for work. Please inform Mr.Crawford that I'll be attending Tommy's parent-teacher conference when he wakes up." Luca rose to
her feet. She was sure that she wanted to defend Tommy and not let him be unfairly treated. She nolonger hesitated to use which method to deal with it.
It would be good as long as she could defend Tommy regardless of what kind of methods she used.
"Okay, Ms. Luca," replied Aunt Neile.
Half an hour after Luca left for work, Luke woke up and headed downstairs. He came to the diningroom and noticed Luca and the three kids were not there.
"Good morning, Mr. Crawford. Would you like to have breakfast now?" Aunt Neile heard noises andwalked out of the kitchen. She saw that Luke was awake and asked passionately.
"Sure." Luke nodded. "Have they finished breakfast already?"
"Yes, Mr. Crawford. You woke up late today." Aunt Neile smiled and served breakfast. Then, sheinformed Luke of what Luca said to her. "Oh yes, Mr. Crawford. Ms. Luca wanted me to inform you thatshe'll be attending Young Master Tommy's parent-teacher conference on behalf of you today."
"Parent-teacher conference?" Luke picked up his phone and glanced at the parent-teacher group onhis phone. There was an announcement indeed, and it was about the parent-teacher conference thisafternoon.
"Okay. I got it."
It would be best if Luca could go. Tommy had always wanted to get closer to Luca. If it were not forLuke, who told them to pretend they did not know about Luca's true identity, the three kids would haveprobably addressed her as their mother.
"By the way, Mr. Crawford, Ms. Luca seemed to be bothered by the parent-teacher conference." AuntNeile pondered for a moment and decided to tell Luke what Luca was worried about.
Luke was the child's father, after all. He could solve the problem that was bothering her with just a lift ofhis finger.
"Bothered?" Luke put his spoon down.
Aunt Neile continued, "Ms. Luca told me that she confronted one of the parents when she went to theschool to handle Young Master Tommy's matter. The student's mother is a vindictive person. Luca wasworried that she might pick on her when she met her during the parent-teacher conference later.""Okay." After Luke heard what Aunt Neile say, he picked up his phone and called Mr. Zac.
"Good morning, Mr. Crawford," greeted Mr. Zac after he answered the call.
Luke did not exchange pleasantries with him. He went straight to the point instead. "Mr. Zac, when willyou be able to finish drafting the complaint I requested?"
After Luca left his office yesterday, he found the person's true identity and background based on thename and address given by Mrs. Tuffey.
Charlie's parents were the owners of West Elms Lighting.
West Elms Lighting was famous in the local lighting industry.
However, it was only famous in A City.
Luke contacted Mr. Zac after he found out who it was. Then, he sent Luca's recording to him and askedhim to draft a complaint and deliver it to the Hudsons.
“Probably before noontime," Mr. Zac immediately replied.
"I'll give you two hours. Deliver the complaint to the owners of West Elms Lighting." Luke was notpatient enough to wait until noontime.
He wanted them to receive the complaint before noon. Then, they would be able to find out whoTommy was.
Luca was the woman he loved the most, and Tommy was his youngest son. How could he let othersbully them?
Especially when that woman threatened Luca.
Luke wanted them to know the consequences of threatening the person he cared about the most.
"Yes, Sir. I'll do it right now." Mr. Zac dared not to say no to him. He had no choice but to agree withhim.
He immediately dropped everything and drafted the complaint.
When Luke requested him to draft the complaint yesterday, he did not tell him when he needed it. Hehappened to be working on some other cases. That was why he had yet to start drafting the complaint.
Mr. Zac turned on his computer and heaved a sigh. It looked like Luke's matter had to be his priority inthe future. Luke was his big client, after all.
The amount of money Luke paid their law firm annually was enough to support everyone who wasworking there.
Many attorneys wanted a big client like him. Some were even jealous of him, and they could not wait tosee Mr. Zac make a mistake and lose a big client like Luke. That way, they would have the chance tomake Luke their client.
Mr. Zac dialed the intercom number and asked his assistant to come in. "Hurry, come to my office anddraft a complaint with me."
After Mr. Zac hung up the call, his assistant came to his office while carrying a laptop. The two of themstarted drafting the complaint nervously.
