Chapter 2739
“So what? What could he do to me when I'm saying the truth? If he dares to mess with me, I'll tell themedia everything!" Mrs. Jackman looked disgruntled.
Although the Jackman family's company was not as successful as T Corporation, Mrs. Jackmanbelieved that she had something on Luke.
These people usually kept their mistresses discreet and away from the media.
There were no media on an occasion like today, and everyone here was a close acquaintance. Theywere also in business partnerships, so they would not disclose anything to the media.
Mrs. Jackman reckoned that Luke dared to have Luca accompany him because of that.
An idea popped into Susan's head when she heard Mrs. Jackman's words, so she pretended toempathize with her. "Mrs. Jackman, I really admire you for being so brave."
"Oh, it's nothing. What bravery are you talking about? That sl*t has to pay for what she did." Mrs.Jackman had never even interacted with Luca before, but because Susan led her astray, her hatred forLuca grew infinitely.
"You don't know this, but that woman said a lot of nasty things to me when I was in there just now justbecause she has Luke to back her up.
"I was asking her to leave for her own good because Luke was a married man. Old Master Crawfordmay not care about him having a mistress, but as his stepmother, I have to do something. I'm just tryingto save the Crawford family's reputation, aren't I? Who knew that she would curse at me when I wasjust telling her to leave? That woman has one heck of a mouth. I didn't even have the chance to defendmyself..." Susan faked her tears and wiped the corner of her eyes.
In reality, there was not even a single tear.
"How could she do that?" Mrs. Malcolm was surprised to hear her say that.
Although Susan appeared weak in front of them, they knew that Susan was not easily defeated. Shehad her ways, and she was skilled in trash-talking.
Otherwise, how else was she able to fight Allison for so many years and secure her spot as MadamCrawford?
The average woman was no match for her.
"Right, that woman is unbelievably arrogant. The kindness she shows to the kids is all fake." Susanlooked at Mrs. Jackman, hoping that she would help her deal with Luca.
That way, she would be able to feel better without making a move herself.
“How cocky! How could she behave like that when she's not even a part of the family yet? Even if sheeventually becomes a part of the family, you're still her mother-in-law, yet she has no respect for you atall. I really want to teach her a lesson..." Mrs. Jackman looked at Luca from afar with the intention oftreating Luca like she treated her husband's mistress to teach her a lesson.
"Just forget it. She's Luke's woman. If he starts investigating this matter, we'll be in trouble." Mrs.Malcolm shook her head at her words.
"What do you mean just forget it? No wonder you keep quiet even when your husband is sleepingaround. You're used to turning a blind eye. What a coward!" Mrs. Jackman could not help but scoff atwhat Mrs. Malcolm said.
"Nonsense, I'm not a coward. It's because I have no feelings for that man, and I would just make thingseasier for that b*tch if I leave. Otherwise, I would've divorced him already!" Mrs. Malcolm's expressionchanged. They became friends because they all had something in common.
Their husbands were all having affairs.
"That's why I said we have to deal with mistresses. Those sl*ts should be taught a lesson. MadamCrawford, will you help me?" Mrs. Jackman started to think about getting back at Luca.
"What do I need to do?" Susan was beyond excited as she leaned closer to listen.
Mrs. Jackman looked at Luca from a distance as she whispered into Susan's ear.
After a while, a maid walked up to Luca and said to her softly, "Ms. Craw, some ladies have invited youto the backyard for a gathering."
"Backyard? Who are those ladies?" Luca asked.
"You'll know once you get there. I have some things to tend to, so I won't walk you there," after sayingthat, the maid left in a hurry.
She left before Luca could say anything.
Luca frowned as she looked at the maid leave. Who could it be?
She thought about what Nina said this morning and suspected that Percy would attend Louis'housewarming party.novelbin
However, she did not see Percy and Nina at the dining table, so she guessed that they probably gotcaught up in something.
Was Nina in the backyard?
If it were Nina, why did she not see her walk in?
Could it be that Percy and Nina arrived when she took Rainie to the restroom? If that were the case,where was Percy?
Luca looked around, but she did not see Percy anywhere.
She glanced at the three kids playing and hesitated for a bit before walking to the backyard.
There were not many people in the backyard at this time, so when Luca saw the three of them underthe gazebo, she was startled.
The one in the middle was Susan, and the women next to her were wives of wealthy families.
However, Luca did not know them well.
Susan said, “Here she comes."
Mrs. Jackman narrowed her eyes and examined Luca from afar. She had a pretty face and a nicefigure, just like how a typical mistress looked like.
"Sl*t," she cursed under her breath.
Luca heard her as she got closer and raised her eyebrows without saying anything.
She assumed that the woman was not talking about her.
"Madam Crawford, you asked for me? What's the matter?" Luca's tone was cold.
Susan turned toward Mrs. Jackman and winked at her.
"There's something we have to tell you." Mrs. Jackman crossed her legs and sat up straight. Looking atLuca reminded her of the woman her husband cheated on her with as they looked alike.
Luca did not respond and glanced at Susan instead. Then, she turned to look at Mrs. Jackman andrealized that Susan was using her to cause her trouble. Thus, she was waiting for them to continue.
"Madam Crawford realized that she lost an expensive necklace, and we heard that you entered themansion earlier, so we're suspecting that you stole it. Hand it over right now and we'll pretend nothinghappened. If you refuse to do so, don't blame us when we call the police," Mrs. Jackman said. She didnot actually lose her necklace, but they were using it as an excuse to mess with Luca.
"Madam Crawford's necklace?" Luca did not expect that her little concern earlier had turned out to betrue.
These people were here to give her a hard time right now, and she would not be able to get awayeasily...
However, it was Louis' big day, and he was Luke's brother, so Luca did not want things to get ugly.
When she looked at Susan, she could not help but wonder.
Even an outsider like her would think of saving Louis' face, so why was Susan repeatedly humiliatingLouis on important occasions like this just for her own peace of mind?
