Chapter 2684
In the living room.
The three kids sat side by side on the sofa, enjoying their fruits.
Rainie turned to look at Tommy, and she asked, “Tommy, Ms. Luca attended your school'sparentteacher conference today. Did anything happen?"
"Yes!" Tommy immediately put down his fork and started to tell his siblings what happened today.
"Rainie, Charlie's parents apologized to us!"
"Charlie? Is he the one who fell in front of you, didn't dare to admit it, and blamed you for it?" Lanieknew about the events of yesterday.
Tommy seemed to have mentioned Charlie's name when he told them about it yesterday.
"Yes. That's him! His mother was terrifying yesterday. She looked like she was going to eat Ms. Lucaalive. But she chickened out today. She kept on apologizing to us. Daddy sued them, so they came toapologize to keep the dispute out of court," explained Tommy as he danced with joy.
Tommy had behaved himself when he was there at the scene, but he was secretly thrilled.
"They aren't afraid of getting sued. They're afraid of Daddy." Lanie hit the mark.
Rainie agreed and nodded her head.
"Why are they afraid of Daddy?" Tommy asked with his head tilted. He did not understand whyCharlie's parents were not afraid of getting sued.
He knew that many people were afraid of getting sued and getting into a lawsuit on TV.
"Charlie's father's name is Brigham Hudson, and his mother's name is Myra Chavez," said Lanie.
Tommy widened his eyes as he asked, "How did you know that?"
"That's impressive." Rainie pursed her lips, trying not to smile. She saw Lanie looking into Charlie'sparents yesterday.
Lanie used a tablet to search for Charlie's parent's information through Charlie's full name yesterday.
"Your classmate's parents are in the lighting business. It's quite a big field in A City, but it depends on alot of industries, like architectural design." Lanie analyzed the situation.
Before Lanie could finish his sentence, Tommy immediately understood and nodded. "I got it. He wouldbe losing a lot of business if he offends Daddy!"
“Yes. The architectural design projects that T Corporation works on have taken their business to thenext level," replied Lanie. He knew Charlie's parents' lighting company exported their products toanother country. They were wholesaling and retailing their products in the local market too, but theygained most of the profits from these projects.
They knew they would be out of luck if they offended Luke. That was why they were so anxious aboutit.
Tommy heaved a sigh and said, "That explains why they apologized."
"They should apologize. Your classmate defamed you yesterday, and his mother was rude to Ms. Luca.It's only right they apologized," added Lanie. Tommy and Luca did nothing wrong. They did not deserveto be scolded by Charlie's parents.
"Yes. Ms. Luca told me that one should apologize after doing something wrong. Charlie accused me ofsomething I didn't do. He was wrong!" said Tommy.
"Alright. Leave it to Daddy. He'll handle this. Let's go upstairs and do our homework," suggestedRainie.
They would usually finish their homework before dinner.
"Okay." Tommy nodded. Then, he grabbed his school bag and jumped off the sofa.
The three kids made their way upstairs to do their homework.
Luca was busy with her research in the study. Only when Aunt Neile came to inform her that it wasabout time for dinner did she drop everything and head downstairs.
Luke and the three kids were already sitting at the dining table when Luca arrived at the dining hall.
"Ms. Luca, hurry up and sit down. It's time for dinner." Tommy looked at Luca with a smile on his face.
"Alright. Thank you," replied Luca. She sat down on the chair right beside Luke.
"Have you removed the stitches?" Luke noticed that Luca's right hand was no longer bandaged.
"Yes. I had some time today, so I went to remove the stitches." Luca nodded. "Dr. Park helped me toremove them."
Luca stressed Johann's name, telling Luke that she got his permission before she removed thestitches. She did not remove the stitches on her own.
"Okay." Luke nodded, staring at her with his deep eyes.
Aunt Neile and the maid served the dishes on the table. Luca took the initiative to help them with thefood.
She placed a slice of pizza on Luke's plate first. Then, she gave the children each a slice of pizza.
At last, she grabbed a slice for herself.
The three kids enjoyed their pizza.
Luke took a few bites and suddenly asked, "Did anything happen during the parent-teacher conferencetoday?"
"Charlie's parents apologized to us. Does that count?" Luca gently bit her fork and decided to tell Lukewhat happened even though she knew Luke probably already knew about it.
"Yes, I told Mr. Zac to sue them," replied Luke
"Now they know you're Tommy's father. That's why they apologized," Luca uttered slowly. If it were notfor the demand letter that had Luke's name on it when it was sent to them, the couple would havecontinued to behave arrogantly.
“What are you planning to do?" asked Luke.
Luca immediately replied without hesitation, "Wait for the case to be scheduled and sue them?"
"Alright. Sure." It did not matter to Luke. He would leave the case to Mr. Zac. It would not take long forhim to settle it.
"Isn't it troublesome?" Luca asked in a soft voice.
Luke's eyes gleamed when he turned to look at her. There was determination in his eyes. "I won't letanyone bully you."
Luke was talking about his family, including her and the kids.
Luke would never let anyone bully his wife and children. What was the point of having an abundance ofwealth and power if he could not protect his family?
"Okay." Luca looked down.
"By the way, Louis will be holding a housewarming party this Sunday. He invited you," said Luke.
Louis told Luke about it today. Susan went to ask a divination practitioner and was told that this comingSunday was an auspicious day to hold the party.
"Will there be a lot of people?" Luca tightened her hand while she gripped the knife at the thought ofattending the company's party this Friday night and Louis' party on Sunday. She felt like she did nothave enough time...
"Only family members and friends are invited to the party," answered Luke. Even though Susan had abig ego and tried to make the housewarming party a big deal, even thinking of holding a banquet for it,Louis eventually rejected her ideas.
Louis had already paid some money to renovate the house, and he spent a lot of money to celebrateSusan's birthday party last time. He did not have much left now.
Even though he could receive some cash gifts from the guests, he could hardly reach the break-evenpoint of the cost of holding the party.
Hence, he decided to make it simple and only invite his family members and friends to attend the party.
He could save some money that way, and he could make some extra money from it too.
"Okay." Luca secretly counted the days. Previously, she heard the kids mention that Old MasterCrawford told Louis to move to his new house after the new year, but she did not expect them to put itoff until now.novelbin
"Is Old Master Crawford staying with them?" Luca asked with curiosity. Previously, Tommy told herwhat had happened at Crawford Manor during the new year.
Tommy told Luca everything. He even told her how reluctant Susan was to move out of the house.
That was why Luca knew what had happened even though she did not celebrate the new year atCrawford Manor.
