Female Novel
Chapter 1847
Queenie was worried that Enoch was bothering Luca again when she heard that he had donesomething. She became nervous and said, “Enoch, things like love and relationships can't be explainedby just reason."
Enoch saw the anxious expression on her face and replied, "Mrs. Norman, don't worry. I didn't botherLuca. But I found out why she rejected me."
Queenie was startled for a moment, then she asked, "Why?"
"I thought of picking her up from work yesterday, but after I saw her get into a cab, I followed her. Ididn't bother her. I just followed her all the way back to her house. However, I found out that she'sstaying in a villa district in A City called Gilded Gem Villas. You should know about this villa district,right?" said Enoch.
Gilded Gem Villas?
Luca was startled. Previously when Luca was sent back home by their driver, she was clearly staying inan ordinary apartment building. Why was she suddenly staying in a luxurious villa district?
"Enoch, did you get it wrong?"
"No, I didn't. I saw her walking in there with my own eyes," replied Enoch.
When Queenie noticed how stubbornly in love he was with Luca, she said helplessly, "Well, can thisprove anything?"
"Not everyone can afford to buy a villa there, Mrs. Norman. No matter how high Luca's salary is, shewouldn't be able to afford a villa there. I guess this is the reason why she rejected me. She can affordto stay in one of the villas there because her boyfriend is staying there too," said Enoch. Actually, he
suspected that Luca was the mistress of a wealthy man. However, it was inappropriate to mention suchimproper things in front of Queenie.
"Luca has a boyfriend? How's that possible..." Queenie frowned. If Luca had a boyfriend, she did nothave to lie to her about it—unless her boyfriend was someone who could not be seen with her.
"Here's the information I found after I looked into it." Enoch handed her a document. "Mrs. Norman, I'mbeing completely honest with you. I got this information from a friend. Not everyone can stay in GildedGem Villas. Besides, those wealthy people wouldn't rent their place out to outsiders after buyingproperties there. Luca's name is not on the list of owners either. If it isn't because Luca has a richboyfriend, how could she possibly live there?"
Queenie did not expect Enoch to investigate this matter. She picked up the list and glanced at it. It wasthe list of names of people who had bought villas there. There were names of businessmen in A City aswell as celebrities. Queenie knew who the estate developer was.
Previously, when the developer was starting the project, he even thought of giving one of the villas toJack. However, Jack, who had always been fair and honest, rejected him right away.
He would never take such gifts from others.
She noticed a few familiar names on the list—Luke Crawford and Louis Crawford.
“Mrs. Norman, you spotted the name too, right? Your son-in-law, Luke Crawford's, name is on the list."Enoch added.
Queenie nodded and replied, "You mean... No way. How's that possible? Look, other than Luke'sname, Louis' name is on the list too. T Corporation must have participated in the development of thisvilla district. It's normal if they own villas here."
"But Luca and Luke were involved in a scandal before. Besides, they're working in the same company.Mrs. Norman, I know it's wrong of me to investigate such things, but I'm only asking for an explanation.I guess I found the reason now. And I'm showing you this not because I want you to do somethingabout it. It's just that Luke Crawford is your son-in-law, and your daughter is still abroad. I just think thatthis matter concerns you and Mr. Norman." After Enoch finished talking, he stood up and said, "I'vefigured out the reason now. There's no point for me to keep these. I'll leave these to you. I'll be leavingnow."
Queenie watched Enoch leave from behind. She had just set aside her worries, but now, they suddenlyreturned strong.
Luke and Luca.
Queenie could no longer sit there. She asked her driver to drive her to Gilded Gems Villas.
It was almost time to get off work. Queenie sat in the backseat of the car. She watched people enteringand leaving Gilded Gem Villas without saying a word. The car plate number on her car was special,and no ordinary people could have it. That was why the security guards did not send her away despiteher car being parked outside the entrance for the whole afternoon.
The driver looked at Queenie in the backseat of the car. She had never stopped staring outside thewindow. The driver did not know what was going on, so he could not help but ask, "Mrs. Norman,you've been watching outside the window for the whole afternoon now."
"Just a little longer." Queenie glanced at the time. She knew Luca would not get off work that early, butshe was in a hurry to verify what Enoch had said to her.
If Luca did not show up here today, that would prove that she had just come to visit a friend yesterday.Then everything would make sense.
The driver fell silent after listening to what she said.
After a while, Queenie saw a car pass by. She set her eyes on the car. It was a familiar car platenumber.
She asked the driver immediately, "Look, is that Luke's car plate number?"
The driver looked over and replied, "Yes, Mrs. Norman. The car and the car plate number belong to Mr.Crawford. I remember that he once drove this car to your house. But I suppose their driver, Zander,should be the one driving the car."
When Queenie pushed the car door open to take a closer look at it, the car had already driven into thedistrict.
She frowned and waited for another 15 minutes. When she was about to get back into her car, she sawLuke's car driving out.
Queenie made a sudden decision and waved at the car.novelbin
Zander, who was driving the car, saw Queenie. He hurriedly parked the car by the roadside and got outof it. "Mrs. Norman, why are you here?"
Zander was indeed driving the car. Queenie knew very well that it was after school hours now. Zandermust have sent the children home after picking them up from school.
“I was thinking of meeting the children, but I came early. Then I saw a familiar car plate number. Ithought it was Luke. That's why I stopped the car. I didn't expect to be you.” Queenie casually found anexcuse.
"Yes, I've sent the kids back home. You said that you want to see the kids, right? Why don't I send youin?" Zander said enthusiastically.
Queenie shook her head right away. "It's alright. The kids are at home now, so there'll be people in thehouse. I'll just press the bell.”
Zander heard her and remembered that he still had errands to run. He nodded and said, "Alright. Youknow which one it is, right?"
"How can I not know? Off you go, then," said Queenie.
Zander did not say anything more. He slightly bowed to her and nodded his head. Then, he got into thecar and left.
The smile on Queenie's face faded when she saw Zander drive away. She got back into her car.
Zander had sent the kids back here, which meant that the kids were staying here now. Luke would bestaying here too...
Why was she not informed when they moved out of Crawford Manor?
Could it be that things were exactly as what Enoch had told her?
Luca and Luke were in a relationship?
She sat in the car and continued to wait.
The driver was puzzled when he saw that Queenie did not intend to enter the district or leave the place.He sent a message to report to Jack, informing him about Queenie's unusual behavior.
