Chapter 1169 Won’t Fire Her

Jack finished reading the letter and looked at his wife. He was lost in his thoughts.

"Could this be from the woman we met today?" Queenie asked. Ivana was the only person who popped into her mind.

"Could be." Jack frowned as he stared at the package.

She managed to list all of Queenie's symptoms just from checking her pulse. However, she did not say anything about it being curable earlier. Then, they were sent some herbs. Who else would it be if not her?

"Jack and Queenie, who are you talking about?" Luke looked at the two. Although Bianca did not recognize them, he still cared about his in-laws.

Jack told Luke what had happened earlier.

After Luke heard what Jack said, he picked up one of the packets and said, "Jack and Queenie, don't take this medicine for now. I'll bring it to Johann to test it tomorrow."

Queenie hesitated. Her gut feeling told her that Ivana was a good person, and she felt an inexplicable surge of warmth when they first met.

Jack was concerned about Queenie's health. He nodded and said, "Okay, it's best if we can get Dr. Park to run a test on it. It's not worth taking the risk since we don't know what this is."

When Queenie heard her husband agree with Luke, she nodded in agreement as well.

After dinner, Luke took the medicine packet and left with the kids.

Queenie looked at the remaining medicine packets and picked up the letter again. The handwriting on it was beautiful. She thought of Ivana’s young and charming face. The corners of her mouth raised into a smile.

"What are you thinking about?" Jack made some tea and put a cup in front of her.

Queenie put down the letter, held up the cup to warm her hands, and said,"

I don't think that the girl has ill intentions."

Jack kept silent for a few seconds. They were soulmates, so of course, he knew her thoughts. "The source of the herbs is unknown. It’s better to have them checked before you decide whether to take them or not." "That’s true." Queenie took a sip of hot tea, then picked up the wrapped box to look for a phone number.

"What are you looking for?" Jack asked.

I'm looking for the girl's phone number, it's just..." Queenie looked at the censored delivery details and reluctantly put the box aside.

"I can get someone to find out," Jack said. Delivery companies would have some sort of records. Moreover, the parcel was sent from the same city. It would not be too much trouble to investigate it. As soon as he mentioned it to someone, they would get everything done.

"No.” Queenie shook her head and let out a sigh. "I’m sure she doesn't want to be harassed by us. If she wanted us to contact her, she would’ve mentioned something in the letter." "That's fair." Jack nodded. When he raised his head, he saw their family photo hanging on the wall. He shook his head. The people in the picture were still around but the circumstances had changed.

After a while, the caretaker of Norman Residence walked over with a tablet and handed it to them. "Master, Madam, you should read tonight's news."

Jack took the tablet and glanced at it. His brows were knitted tightly together as he said, "Nonsense, a bunch of nonsense!" "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?" When Queenie saw how angry he was, she took the tablet from his hands. The news stated that Luke was secretly dating a researcher from Watson Biopharmaceuticals.

The couple knew about it as Luke had explained to them what was really going on before the news broke.

They trusted Luke, but they did not expect that the media would announce the identity of the woman. In the report, it was mentioned that Luke was using his company as an excuse to see his lover. Property © .

"Nonsense!" Jack said angrily. They did not believe that Luke was that kind of person.

The caretaker chimed in, "The reporters nowadays are disgusting and full of lies! Madam, what are we going to do now?" "Luke will take care of it." Queenie sighed. They all believed that Luke would never wrong Bianca, but that was not enough. Whatever happened next was up to Luke.

"Give me the phone," Jack said solemnly.

"Okay." The caretaker immediately handed Jack his phone.

Jack called Luke to inform him of what had happened.

Luke, who was driving, immediately stopped the car when he heard the news. He clicked on the link that they sent him.

The three kids sitting in the back looked at each other. Tommy could not help but ask, Dad, what's the matter?"

Luke scanned through the article with a gloomy expression. His eyes were filled with anger. "Nothing to worry about."

Tommy muttered to Rainie, "Dad seems really upset." "Shh," Rainie whispered. She knew that the only reason Luke would react as such was that something unpleasant had happened.

Luke put his phone in the passenger seat and drove back to Crawford Manor.

Old Master Crawford was waiting for him in the living room.

"Grandpa, I'll take care of it," Luke said.

Old Master Crawford frowned. He was extremely dissatisfied with what had happened. He grabbed the cane in his hand tightly as he said, "Hold a press conference, and if necessary, fire this woman so that we don’t have to hear about this again." "She's great at what she does, I won’t fire her." Luke refused.

Old Master Crawford widened his eyes and stood up with the help of his cane. "Firing her is the easiest way." "If the reporters want to pick a fight, firing her will not prove my innocence. Grandpa, when you took over T Corporation, you told me that we must cherish those who are talented."

Old Master Crawford was stunned by that and had nothing to say.

He did say that to Luke and he stood by it. He asked, "Is this woman that capable?" "Her research will bring huge profits to the company," Luke said. In truth, he did not care about profits. It was just that the other researchers’ projects were mediocre at best. Luca’s research was the most outstanding.

That was why she was a precious talent.

Old Master Crawford wanted to remind him that the Crawford family could live without the pharmaceutical company.

However, the sentence was stuck in his throat. He could not bring himself to say anything.

He sighed and said, "Okay, I’ll leave it to you to deal with it. Handle it well. Have someone find out where this reporter is!"

Old Master Crawford hated this reporter who had been targeting their family. If he knew his whereabouts, the reporter would not be let off easy!

"Okay." Luke nodded.

After he put the medicine packet away, he went up to the second floor.

When he bumped into the caretaker at the stairwell, he thought of Bianca. Bianca would be upset if she saw the news.

He did not feel any pity, but rather, he felt that he had to fulfill his obligations as her husband. Hence, he asked, "Where’s Bianca?"
