Chapter 1142 An Act Of Kindness Shall Be Repaid Tenfold

The thin man took a sip of beer and looked at him. "What do you have in mind?"

The fat man got close to his ears and shared his evil plans.

After he heard the fat man’s plans, the thin man smiled grimly, picked up his fork, and got himself a piece of popcorn chicken. "That's a good plan. We’ll make this woman kneel in front of our brothers and beg for mercy!" "That's right, Brother. A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him. It’s just a matter of time before this woman begs for your mercy." The fat man smiled wryly. The layers of fat on his face were squished together. As his smile was too big, his fat face was jiggling.

Luca did not notice them and continued to walk forward.

When she was tired, she sat at a food stall where she ordered two dishes and a bottle of beer.

On the other hand in Crawford Manor.

Bianca sat on the sofa in the bedroom. She looked at the photo on the phone and tightened the grip on her phone. Her veins were nearly bursting.

She received an anonymous email that contained photos of Luke and a woman. A bank account number was mentioned, along with the message to transfer 500,000 dollars if she did not want these photos to appear in the newspaper.

Bianca did not care about the money. What she cared about was the woman in the photo. It was Ivana!

That morning, Luke went to an event held by Brilliant Architectural Design LLC. The event had nothing to do with Ivana, so why was she with Luke?

Rage flowed through her like lava as she stared at the two people in the photo. She wanted nothing more than to tear the photos to pieces.

There was a knock on the door and Bianca immediately hid her jealousy.

She lowered her head and said, "Come in."

The caretaker opened the door gently and reminded her, "Madam, Old Master Crawford is asking you to go downstairs for dessert." "Okay, I'll go down in a minute." Bianca lowered her head, squinted her eyes, and looked at the photos on the screen. Suddenly, she had an idea!

Ivana wanted to be more involved with Luke? She would not let the other party do what she wanted.

"Okay." Seeing that her mood was not the best, the caretaker did not dare say another word and closed the door.

Bianca rubbed her eyes until they were red to make it look as if she had been crying before going downstairs.

Susan was out with her friends, while Louis had taken his wife and child out to socialize. Hence, there were only Old Master Crawford, Luke, and the three children in the living room.

They were almost done with desserts.

Old Master Crawford was annoyed that Bianca was late. He snorted and said, "If you don't want to eat, don't."

Triggered by the words of Old Master Crawford, Bianca appeared more aggrieved and sat on the sofa. "Grandpa, I didn't do it on purpose."

The caretaker brought out a portion of the dessert and handed it to her." Madam, this is for you."

Bianca took it and put it on the coffee table. She stared straight at Luke, saying, "Luke, I have something to tell you."

Luke put down his plate and looked at her. "What's the matter?"

His voice was as calm as ever, which made Bianca feel chills. She glanced at the old man and the kids, thinking that since he could do such a thing to her, she did not need to care much about his dignity.

She took out her phone and opened the photos. "Today, I received an email. The other party is asking me for 500,000 dollars for these photos." "What photos?" Luke asked, his tone was neutral.

"Photos of you and Ivana." Bianca put her phone on the coffee table.

"Who's Ivana?" Old Master Crawford frowned and looked at them.

"Luke’s employee," Bianca replied before Luke could. "They were sitting in the car together and were secretly photographed by a reporter.”

Luke frowned and picked up the phone.

The photos were secretly taken earlier that day.

"Let me see," Old Master Crawford said in a low voice.

Luke handed the phone to the old man. He had not done anything wrong, so he was not afraid to have Old Master Crawford involved.

"Luke, what’s the deal with this?" Old Master Crawford asked. There was nothing ambiguous about the photos. Putting their identities aside, it just looked like a man and a woman were getting in the car together.

However, Luke was not an ordinary man. Apart from Bianca, the old master had never seen him personally send anyone home.

"I bumped into her. She couldn't get a taxi, so I sent her back,” Luke explained briefly in front of the kids.

He did not think he did anything wrong.

"Luke, even if you value her as an employee, you could've asked any of your other subordinates to send her back. Why did you drive her yourself? Even if your intentions are pure, how can you be sure that the other party has pure intentions as well? Maybe she plotted with the reporter so that she could blackmail us." Bianca thought that Old Master Crawford was on her side, so she spoke aggressively.

Luke frowned. Except for Allison, no one had been so aggressive toward him. He stared at Bianca.

She felt a little flustered and began to reflect on her words. She thought about it and decided that she had done nothing wrong.

'Am I not allowed to say anything even after seeing my husband being in close contact with other women?’

Tommy sat there and listened to what the adults were saying. He lay on Old Master Crawford and looked at the photo shown on the screen.

It captured Luca's side profile.

Tommy recognized the woman at a glance and said, "Huh?"

Old Master Crawford looked at him.

"Great-grandpa, she's not a bad person." Tommy put his finger on the screen and zoomed in on the photo.

It was a high-resolution photo. He looked at the woman's side profile and determined that it was Luca. "She was the one who took me in. Dad knows about it. That must be why he sent her home as a thank you."

When Bianca heard it, her face turned pale.

'How could there be such a coincidence? Tommy ran away from home and Ivana just happened to take him in? Then, she ran into Luke in the mall?’ "Tommy, didn't you refuse to mention who took you in?" Bianca did not believe him. She thought Tommy was doing it on purpose to pick a fight with her.

"I told Dad after that. Dad said that an act of kindness shall be repaid tenfold. I'm still young and can't repay her kindness, so Dad was probably helping me repay the favor," Tommy said and looked at Luke. "Dad, is that right?" "Yeah." Luke was not sure why Tommy would suddenly speak up for him, but it was most likely because of Luca.

Tommy liked Luca, so when he saw the photo, he immediately sided with him. This belongs to - ©.

Luke was shocked. He thought that Luca just happened to live there, but unexpectedly, she was the one who took Tommy in.

Tommy tugged on Old Master Crawford's sleeve. He said, "Great-grandpa, I want her as my godmother. Is that okay?"

Bianca's expression turned sour when she heard that. She was no longer polite and shouted, "No, you already have a godmother!"
