Chapter 1197 Investigate Someone
After Luke parked his car in the Crawford Manor, he did not get out of his car. Instead, he opened his mailbox and read through Luca's dossier several times.
There was not a lot of useful information on Luca, perhaps because she was from Russia.
Luke sank into deep thought.
He heard a knock on the car window. He came to his senses and saw the butler standing next to the car with a gentle smile on his face.
Luke rolled down the car window.
"Sir, Old Master Crawford wants to know why you're not going into the house," the butler said. Old Master Crawford was deliberately waiting for him in the living room, but Luke did not go into the house.
"I'm still doing a bit of work. I'll go in soon," Luke said.
"Yes, Sir." The butler nodded and went away.
Luke took out his phone and gave Gale a call.
"Any orders, Boss?" Gale answered the call very quickly. He sounded quite carefree.
"Go to Russia, and bring Rain with you. I want to investigate on someone," Luke said. Rain and Gale had been overseas for the past two years to build up a network of contacts.
The first place he chose to build his network was Russia because he was afraid that the Island of Despair would rise again.
"Yes, Boss. Who's the target?" Gale asked. After building up a network of contacts in various countries, it was not a challenge for them to seek information.
Luke's influence had grown greatly in the past three years, though to the average layman, he was only the CEO of T Corporation.
"Luca Craw. Her name in Russia is Ivana." Luke sent Luca's dossier to Gale's mailbox while he spoke. "I've just sent you her dossier. Go to Russia with Rain tomorrow and find out everything about her." "Don't worry, Boss. Well do that as soon as we can," Gale said.
"Find whatever you can about her family too," Luke said.
"Yes, Boss."
After ending the call, Luke went into the living room. Old Master Crawford was sitting on the couch waiting for him.
"You're back," the elderly man said.
"Yes, Grandfather. Have you had dinner?" Luke knew that he was going to come home late, so he told the butler not to wait for him.
"I have. The cook saved some food for you. You can get it in the kitchen if you want to eat," Old Master Crawford said while stroking his beard.
Luke put his briefcase away and sat down on the couch. "You have something to tell me," he said to Old Master Crawford.
That was a statement and not a question.
Old Master Crawford nodded. "How is your mother-in-law?" He tried to make some small talk.
"She's taking her medication now. It's only a matter of time before she is cured," Luke said.
Queenie had taken the first dose of the herbal concoction in the hospital. She was still weak, though the concoction did not give her any side effects.
Johann said that the effects of the concoction would only be seen after some time, and he reminded Jack to boil the concoction for Queenie regularly.
"I've heard that the Norman girl is the culprit," Old Master Crawford said. There was no one else in the living room to overhear it anyway.
"There's no evidence." Luke's expression sank slightly.
He and Jack knew about the things Leia had done. However, Jack decided not to pursue the matter because there was no evidence, and Leia was not in the country.
He thought that the matter would stay within Johann's office, and he did not expect Old Master Crawford to have caught wind of it.
Old Master Crawford nodded. He could guess why Jack made that decision.
If Queenie could be fully cured, the higher-ups in the government would reappoint him to his job. Moreover, his rank this time would be higher than the last.
Jack had voluntarily retired to take care of his wife, and that had affected his reputation positively. Because of his newfound reputation as a family- oriented man, his political career would be smooth- sailing.
"Your father-in-law's reputation will continue to grow after this incident, Luke. You should spend some more time with them. Right, you should bring your wife along with you too. In any case, she's their daughter," Old Master Crawford said.
Ever since Bianca lost her memories, she refused to meet the Normans.
Even though they were related by blood, they would eventually drift apart if they did not maintain the relationship. Old Master Crawford was worried about her future, and that was why he had told Luke to bring Bianca along whenever he visited the Normans.
"I know." Luke knew what Old Master Crawford was talking about. If Jack returned to the political scene, T Corporation's influence would grow.
Even though they did not really need the extra help, it was good to have another person to rely on.
"Alright. I've bought two cases of supplements, and I'll get the butler to put them in your car boot. It's Saturday tomorrow, so if you're free, you can bring it over," Old Master Crawford said.
Now that Queenie was discharged from the hospital, she would need all the nutrition that she could get.
Luke nodded. He had planned to visit them tomorrow anyway, so Old Master Crawford's exhortations did not change his schedule.
When Luke was about to stand up, Old Master Crawford said, "Right. Find that mysterious woman if you can. I'm talking about the woman that discovered your mother-in-law's condition."
The mysterious woman and Queenie’s condition was not a secret in Old Master Crawford's social circle. Everyone he knew was talking about it.
Everyone wanted to find out the identity of the mysterious woman.
After all, it was rare to find someone who could accurately diagnose an illness just by taking one's pulse.
Luke frowned slightly.
"Everyone wants to be acquainted with that woman. If you manage to find out who she is, you might prevent her from being disturbed," Old Master Crawford said.
Luke nodded, thinking what his grandfather said made sense.
The other people would definitely launch their own investigations. Even if Jack and Queenie did not want to bother than woman, someone else would eventually do that. This belongs to - ©.
"HI be upstairs, Grandfather," Luke said.
Old Master Crawford sipped his tea. "Aren't you having dinner?" "I'm not hungry." Luke took his briefcase and went up the stairs.
He noticed that the master bedroom door was open. Luke thought for a while and went inside. He saw Bianca sitting in front of the vanity and applying moisturizer to her face.
"You're back, Luke." She turned her head when she heard the footsteps behind her. That movement stretched the wound on her back. She inhaled deeply but managed to maintain the gentle smile on her face.
