Chapter 2146
“Business trip? Why are you going on a business trip again?" Old Master Crawford said querulously.He knew that Luke was going on a business trip to handle T Corporation's matters, but the old masterwas unhappy now.
Luke would rather stay up all night and waste his efforts than take the initiative to look for Luca andsolve his problem.
One could not make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!
"It's the company's affairs," replied Luke.
Old Master Crawford sneered. He knew it must be related to the company. It was just that Luke hadnever thought about his marriage!
Even though the old master was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he couldnot rewind the time to last night no matter what he did. Besides, Luca was smart. She should havenoticed that there was something wrong with the tonic. Hence, the old master could not use such waysanymore.
"Let's eat," said Old Master Crawford.
Luca let out a sigh. It was fortunate that the old master did not continue asking them. Otherwise, shewould recall everything that happened last night. She would have to lie to cover it up...
What happened last night.
Luca was reminded of Luke's body temperature and how he held her in his arms last night. Sheglanced sideways to look at him.
Luke was eating his breakfast with the fork in his hands.
Luca's face reddened all of a sudden.
There was no way she could look Luke in the eye after everything that happened.
Luke drove Luca and the kids back to the villa after breakfast.
Luke's luggage was still in the villa, so he had to go back to the villa to get his luggage before heheaded to the airport.
Old Master Crawford waited until Luke had left, then he leaned on his walking cane and rose to hisfeet.
Mr. Griffin hurried over to help him and asked, "Old Master Crawford, where are you going?"
"Follow me." Old Master Crawford walked into the elevator in Crawford Manor. He waited until Mr.Griffin entered the elevator before pressing the button heading to the basement.
The elevator doors slowly closed. Mr. Griffin asked, "Are you going to the control room?"
Old Master Crawford smiled and replied, "You do understand me after years of serving me."
He refused to believe that Luke did not do anything. Although Luca claimed that she had a good sleepand nothing happened, he noticed that Luca was blushing when they were eating their breakfast.
Her gaze was on Luke every time she blushed.
"Do you know why I arranged for Luca to stay in that guest room?" Old Master Crawford asked.
Mr. Griffin nodded. He knew why the old master was behaving like this after serving him for so manyyears. He had already figured it out. "The security camera installed in the living hall happens to capturethe door of the guest room."
"Bingo." Old Master Crawford nodded.
The elevator reached the basement, and Old Master Crawford sat in front of a computer.
Mr. Griffin helped him to find the security camera that captured the guest room's door. After he foundthe right security camera, he asked, "Old Master Crawford, do you need to cast it on a projectorscreen?"
"There's no need," answered Old Master Crawford. "Speed it up."
Mr. Griffin heard him and operated the computer.
Old Master Crawford's cloudy eyes were on the computer screen. He saw Luke knocking on Luca'sdoor in the middle of the night. Although he had no idea what they were talking about, the old mastersmiled excitedly when he saw Luca open the door for Luke. "Did you see that?"
He was asking Mr. Griffin, who stood beside him.
"Old Master Crawford, I see it. Young Master Luke entered Ms. Craw's bedroom," answered Mr. Griffin.
"They closed the door." Old Master Crawford was satisfied. He knew his plan had helped the two ofthem. "Let's see what time Luke came out from there." Old Master Crawford was relieved after he sawLuke enter Luca's room. He leaned back on the chair and looked at the computer screen.
Mr. Griffin looked at the old master's expression and nodded. Although it seemed bad to spy on Lukeand Luca, the old master was worried about his grandson's happiness, which made it reasonable forhim to do this.
"Old Master Crawford, let me break the footage into sections and open a few more windows. It'll workfaster that way," Mr. Griffin suggested.
"Alright. That's a good idea. Break it up, then," said Old Master Crawford. Although they were watchingthe video at a faster speed, it would take one or two hours to watch the footage from the entire night.
Mr. Griffin operated the computer and started playing the footage.
Old Master Crawford began to watch the videos.
Half an hour later, he pointed at the screen and asked, "When is this?"
Mr. Griffin paused the video, glanced at it, and answered, "Old Master Crawford, the time shown on thefootage is already dawn."
"Good job. Luke didn't waste my efforts. This kid was still trying to deny it. Hah, I've got you now, huh?"Old Master Crawford was grinning. He was pleased with this outcome.
A man and a woman who had taken the medicine were alone in a room. Something must havehappened.
Mr. Griffin looked at the old master's cheerful expression and thought that Luke was innocent. After all,it was not Luke who denied it. It was Luca.
The old master leaned forward, looked at the time, and said, "Delete the footage. Make sure it's deletedpermanently. Don't let anyone see this."
He was worried that Susan would come here and look at the footage. That was why he asked Mr.Griffin to do so.
After all, Susan was a troublemaker. She might leak the footage to the public to crush Luke if she sawit.
Old Master Crawford knew about the impostor Bianca, but the others had no idea about it. They onlyknew that Luke had a wife and a family. He would get into trouble if the footage was leaked.
That was why the old master had to protect Luke.
"Alright, Old Master Crawford," said Mr. Griffin. He thought he might as well delete all the footagerecorded yesterday. It would arouse suspicion if he deleted only a part of the footage.
"Let's go. I'm in a good mood today. Follow me. I'm going to visit Old Man Rayne for a game of chess."After Old Master Crawford watched Mr. Griffin delete all the footage, he leaned on his walking cane andstood up.
"Yes." Mr. Griffin helped him up the stairs.
Susan, who was in the living room, saw Old Master Crawford come out with a happy face. He headedto the entrance. She was curious about what happened.
"Dad, are you going out?" Susan asked.
"I'm going to the Rayne family's house. Don't wait for me for lunch." After Old Master Crawford changedhis shoes, he instructed Mr. Griffin, "Bring the supplements that I bought the last time. I'm giving it tothem."
"Yes." Mr. Griffin did what he was told.
Susan watched Mr. Griffin take the supplements out from the shelf unhappily.novelbin
It was Luca yesterday and the Rayne family today. How kind was the old master to those who wererelated to Luke!
This was what she meant by the old master favoring Luke more. Everyone said that Old MasterCrawford valued Luke, and even the old master's heart was biased toward Luke!
Susan was very unhappy about it.
After Old Master Crawford left, Susan hurried downstairs. She reckoned that the old master hadchecked the security cameras just now.
Susan pushed the door open and walked into the control room. She touched the CPU. It was slightlywarm.
She turned on the computer immediately and called the guards.
"Madam Crawford, is there anything I can help you with?" a guard asked.
"I'd like to see what the old master was watching just now," replied Susan.
