Chapter 1667
"She's the kind of person who doesn't give up easily. Don't worry. Leave the rest to me. I'll arrange it,"Luke said. He would deal with this matter.
Wanda looked at him as her eyes gleamed. She nodded and thought of Bianca.
Poor Bianca. No one knew her whereabouts now. Moreover, her identity had been stolen by someimpostor.
Wanda felt a little wistful. The maid came in and she snapped back into reality. She said, “Let's startpreparing lunch.”
"Alright." The maid nodded and headed into the kitchen.
Wanda no longer thought about Bianca. Two more people were joining them for lunch today. Sheplanned to help in the kitchen, so she said, "Luke, I'll be helping out in the kitchen. Tea is ready. Youand Ms. Craw can just make yourselves at home."
"Sure. I'll go upstairs and continue the chess game with Grandpa," said Luke as he headed to thestairs.
Luca was hanging around in the garden. She still could not calm herself down after seeing hergrandfather and aunt again.
They were her family.
Queenie gave her life, and they managed to acknowledge each other in the end. However, her bondwith Queenie was not even close to the one she had with the Rayne family. After all, it was the Raynefamily who raised her.
She wandered around for a while until the doorbell rang again.
Luca looked in the direction of the front door and wondered whether it was Marie again.
However, she had just been taken away by the guards not long ago. How was it possible that she cameback again so soon?
Wanda came out to answer the door and saw Luca standing there. She asked, "Ms. Craw, why don'tyou go inside and take a seat?"
"I think the garden is nice. That's why I'd like to take a walk here," Luca smiled and explained.
Wanda nodded and did not say anything more. She went to open the door.
There was a middle-aged man in a suit standing at the door. When he saw Wanda, he put a smile onhis face and said, "Hello, Madam. I'm the estate manager here. May I know if Mr. Crawford is inside?"
Wanda reckoned that this was how Luke had decided to deal with the matter. She let him in and said,"Yes, he's inside. Please come in."
The estate manager smiled and walked into the villa. After knowing that the owner of the villa had somesort of relationship with Luke, he tried to flatter her. “Oh, I can see that you've been staying here forquite some time. May I know if you have any opinions regarding the environment and villaconstructions here?"
Wanda was not very particular about the living requirements here, and she had no demands for thehouse either. She shook her head and replied, "No. They're just fine."
The estate manager let out a sigh of relief when he heard that she was satisfied. "I'm glad you're happywith things here. If there's anything we're not doing well, or if there are any facilities around here thatneed to be improved, please don't hesitate to tell us. We value the opinions of the owners of the estatevery much."
Wanda listened to the estate manager who kept talking to her. She thought that it must have somethingto do with Luke, so she simply brushed him off and said, "Alright. I got it. Come on in."
The estate manager followed her into the house.
Luca saw them, and out of curiosity, she went into the house too.
After Wanda told the estate manager to sit down and make himself comfortable, she went upstairs toinform Luke. Luke came down after he knew the estate manager had arrived.
When the estate manager saw that it was really Luke, he stood up immediately to show his respect."Hello, Mr. Crawford. It's nice to meet you."
"Hello. Please, take a seat." Luke sat on the armchair opposite the estate manager.
Luca was sitting on another couch not far away. She looked at the two of them and planned to listen towhat they were talking about.
The estate manager sat down. He looked nervous, and it was mainly because Luke wasexpressionless, which gave him a bad feeling. "Mr. Crawford, did you invite me here to discuss yourdissatisfaction with our estate?"
Luke listened to the manager's tentative question. He nodded right away and said, "Yes, I did."novelbin
"Ah, have we done something wrong?" The estate manager became nervous all of a sudden.
Luke took out his phone and opened his gallery. Then, he handed Marie's photo to him to see. "Thiswoman often comes here to harass the owners of this villa. Previously, the maid has informed yoursecurity guards about this and they sent her away together one time. However, this person was stillable to get into the community. Letting strangers enter and leave the villa district as they wish... Howcould you let this happen?"
The estate manager broke into a cold sweat while listening to every word he said.
The guard who informed him just now had explained to him that security measures were usually stricterat night. During the daytime, the guards would usually allow people to enter if they were properlydressed and behaved normally. Also, they would have to name the residents' house numbers andfamily names.
The point was, although they had chased this person away before, the resident didn't blacklist her.Hence, the security guards did not handle it according to the standard procedures.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Crawford. It's our fault." The manager apologized. Even though it was partly the fault ofthe resident, the manager had no choice but to bear all responsibility.
Luke did not blame him too much. He knew that Wanda was responsible for this situation too.
He said, "I'll let this pass, but this woman has to be blacklisted. If there's anyone who would like to visitthis house, you must get Ms. Rayne's permission before you let them in."
Wanda did not have any friends. She would spend her time at home taking care of Old Man Rayne.Hence, she did not have much social interaction with others. There was barely anyone who wouldfrequently come to visit them.
Hence, they did not have many visitors.
At the same time, they could prevent Marie from taking revenge by sending others into the villa districtto harass Wanda.
The estate manager nodded and promised immediately. "Alright. That won't be a problem. I'll give theorders later, and I can guarantee that no one will ever disturb Ms. Rayne's life anymore.
"Also, Ms. Craw will probably be coming here more often in the future. Just let her in. There's no needto report about this," Luke added.
The estate manager nodded and agreed. He took a photo of Luca after getting her permission so thatevery guard could remember her appearance.
After dealing with the matter, Luke nodded and sent the estate manager away.
When Luca saw this, there was only one sentence in her mind that lingered—this was probably LukeCrawford's way of intimidating others.
However, his arrangements were good, indeed.
Still, why did he make her a special case?
Luca thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Crawford, I have a question."
Luke knew what she wanted to ask, so he replied immediately, "You'll have to regularly come over tocheck Old Man Rayne's pulse and provide follow-up treatment. This is for your convenience."
Luca nodded her head stiffly. Well, that explained it. That was very thoughtful of him.
Wanda was satisfied with Luke's arrangement. The maid had already finished preparing the dishes,and she called out to them for lunch.
Wanda said, "Lunch is ready. Come on, let's head to the dining room to have lunch."
Luca and Luke stood up together at the same time. They were both in sync with each other.
Wanda glanced at them with a thoughtful look in her eyes. Then, she went upstairs to bring Old ManRayne down to have lunch together.
