Chapter 1365 Luca's Neighborhood Was Included
Luke looked at the photo on his phone. Luca's neighborhood was included in the circle.
"Of course, it might only be a coincidence," Jason said.
Luke nodded. He would think of that problem later. Instead, he looked at Adrian and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Don't mention it. You want to upgrade your system, right?" Adrian asked.
Luke nodded.
"I can help you," Adrian said, offering his services. Luke was Percy's friend and commanded a considerable influence in A City. It would be a good idea if Luke would owe him a favor.
Luke could tell what Adrian was thinking. He asked him," What do you want?"
"I don't know what I want yet, but it won't be something major. You don't have to worry about owing me a favor," Adrian gave his promise.
Luke thought for a while. Then, he stood up and extended his hand, "Deal."
"Thank you," Adrian stood up and shook hands with Luke." I'll need access to your company's mainframe."
"Mr. Doyle will bring you there," Luke said.
"Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Doyle," Adrian turned around and spoke to Jason.
Jason nodded and led him to the IT department.
Luke leaned back on his executive chair. He looked at the photo on his phone and sank into deep thought.
After Jason brought Adrian to the IT department, Luke summoned him back to the CEO's office. He knocked on the door and went inside. "How may I help you, Mr. Crawford?"
"I want to go to Watson," Luke said. The hacking incident in New York was related to Luca. Now, Adrian had narrowed down the area where the attack on T Corporation originated to include Luca's neighborhood. Luke could not help but suspect that the attack was also related to Luca.
It seemed too suspicious to be only a coincidence.
Jason reminded him, "Mr. Crawford, you have an important international teleconference in twenty minutes. You'll have to be present to discuss the contract with the other party."
In other words, Jason did not want him to go to Watson now.
With no other choice, Luke had to cancel his plan of going there.
Luke returned to Crawford Manor at night. He had not been home for the past two days because of what happened to T Corporation, and the children were very excited to see him.
"Daddy! Daddy!" They called out to Luke, which made his stress and lethargy vanish into thin air.
Old Master Crawford was sitting on the couch. He asked him, "I suppose you've dealt with everything that happened in the company?"
"It's dealt with,” Luke said. He knew that Old Master Crawford had several confidants working in the company, so he could not hide anything from his grandfather.
Old Master Crawford did not intervene because he was confident that Luke was capable of handling it.
"That's good to know." Old Master Crawford nodded in satisfaction. There were no negative reports of the incident, and the share prices were not affected. It seemed that Luke had perfectly overcome the challenge.
"Tch," Susan muttered disapprovingly. She thought, 'What's so hard about that? It's just repairing computers, isn't it? Any intern could have done that. Louis would have been able to solve the problem too.'
Old Master Crawford heard that. He glared at Susan and said, "Don't think that it's easy to fix the problem. If it were you, you wouldn't be able to solve it."
Susan put her teacup down and said, "Of course I can't do it. I'll have to leave it to the young people to handle things like these. Louis would be able to solve it though."
Old Master Crawford knew that Susan was complaining that he did not give Louis the chance to prove himself, though he knew that Louis had insisted on leaving T Corporation and starting his own studio. "What are you talking about? I offered Louis the opportunity to work in T Corporation, but
he didn't want to stay."
Susan had no retort to that. She could only glare at Luke as the resentment in her heart grew.
Old Master Crawford turned to Luke and asked him, "Where did Bianca travel to, Luke? Is she so engrossed that she can't even call home? Does she still care about the children or treat this place as her home?" : owner of this content.
Luke remained unperturbed when his grandfather mentioned Bianca's name. Gale and Rain had been interrogating Bianca non-stop for the past few days, but Bianca's mouth remained shut. Of course, that was expected for anyone from the Island of Despair, which showed no mercy to traitors.
"Bea called me earlier today. She said that she's having a lot of fun, and she would be extending her vacation for a few more days," Luke lied.
"What's wrong with her? Her children are still young, and she's neglecting them!" Old Master Crawford's expression darkened. Luke had not returned home for the past two days because he was busy with the work at T Corporation, but Bianca had taken the opportunity to go and travel!
"As long as she's happy," Luke said.
"You've spoiled her, Luke. That's ridiculous!" Old Master Crawford said.
Rainie could sense that the atmosphere was getting awkward. She tugged Tommy's shirt sleeve and said," Tommy, don't you have something to tell Daddy?"
Tommy remembered what he wanted to say. He went in front of Luke and said, "Let's go upstairs, Daddy. I have to show you my trophy."
"What trophy?" Luke asked.
"Our school had a chess tournament today, and I won first place. The teacher gave me a trophy as a prize!" Tommy said smugly.
"Yes, the teacher said that Tommy is very bright," Old Master Crawford said.
Luke leaned over and picked Tommy up with his arms." Alright, let's go upstairs and take a look."
Lanie and Rainie followed behind them.
Susan watched the family of four resentfully. She thought that she would have to send Thea to a few more classes so that the three children would not hog the limelight.
Later at night, Luke was working in the study. When he suddenly thought of Luca, he paused abruptly.
The caretaker rushed hurriedly into the study and said, "Mr. Crawford, you should go and take a look at Master Tommy. He has a fever."
"What's going on?" Luke stood up and walked toward Tommy’s bedroom.
'Master Tommy had been coughing irregularly for the past two days. We gave him some cough syrup, and he got
better. Just now, he suddenly had a fever," the caretaker explained.
Luke went into Tommy's bedroom and saw him lying on the bed. Another caretaker pulled out a body thermometer from his armpit and glanced at it. "His temperature is 102 degrees, Mr. Crawford. Shall we get Dr. Cairn to come?"
