“Madam Crawford, isn't it a bad idea to look at this?" The guard hesitated. Although Old Master Crawford did not tell him that he should not watch the footage, there was a chance that he might get fired if the old master found out about it.

"What's wrong with it? The security cameras installed in the house belong to the Crawford family. Am I not the madam of this family? Why can't I see it?" Susan raised her brows and threatened, "You'll be fired if you don't help me get the footage."

The guard had no choice but to search for the footage after getting threatened by her.

"Give me a second," replied the guard. He began to open all the security footage folders and checked which one had been opened recently. Original from .

Susan rushed him, "Make it fast. I have an appointment later."

The guard nodded and looked at a bunch of security camera footage recordings.

There were many security cameras in Crawford Manor. Most of them were installed outside the gate and in the public areas in the house. All surveillance footage would be saved for up to two months before they were automatically deleted. That was why there were a lot of recordings.

After a while, the guard turned to look at Susan.

"What's wrong?" Susan asked. Judging from the expression on the guard's face, Susan knew he was unable to get what she wanted. Susan threatened him again, "If you dare to brush me off, you won't only lose your job but you might not be able to find a new one in A City."

Susan had no sympathy for him. She would not have those who refused to listen to her instructions stay.

She had been treating most of them who worked in the villa badly other than Mr. Griffin, the old master's aide. She could not lay a finger on him.

"Madam Crawford, it's not that I don't want to find the footage for you. The surveillance footage Old Master Crawford checked was probably deleted." The guard gave her a sullen look.

"Deleted? Are you sure?" Susan doubted it.

What did the old master see that he needed to delete it?

"Yes. The recordings here have not been opened before. There's only one surveillance footage missing, so it must've been deleted," explained to the guard as he pushed the screen toward her.

Susan did not know a lot about this and asked, "Which security camera?"

“The one on the second floor, near the guest room. I remember that the security camera was adjusted after what happened three years ago. The contents missing were recorded by that camera," said the guard. He had been working for the Crawford family for years, and he was involved in the adjustment of the security cameras three years ago. That was why he remembered it.

"The guest room..." Susan frowned. The old master had arranged for Luca to stay in that guest room yesterday.

There were guest rooms on the first floor and the second floor. It seemed like the old master had come here to watch what Luca did last night.

What could Luca have done last night? Susan was puzzled, and she asked again, "Can it be recovered?"

"It's been permanently deleted and can't be recovered." The guard shook his head. Luke was the one who hired people to install the security system of Crawford Manor. The expert installed a program on

the computer to protect the privacy of the Crawford family. If one had the administrator password, the deleted surveillance footage could not be recovered.

That way, no matter what happened in the house, there was no way anyone with evil intentions could get the surveillance footage as long as they deleted it in time.

The administrator password was used to delete the footage this time.

"You're nothing but trash." Susan turned around and walked out of the control room after knowing that the security footage could not be recovered. She could not help but wonder what did the old master see that made him delete the footage.

Besides, it seemed like what Luca did was exactly what the old master wanted.

It was because Old Master Crawford had come out with a smile on his face.

Susan headed upstairs and ran into Louis and his wife. She sneered at him and planned to ignore them at the thought of Louis trying to fool her with another jewelry set yesterday.

Yuri nudged Louis with her elbow, asking him to ask for peace.

Louis got Yuri's hint and secretly let out a sigh. He stepped forward and said, "Mom, don't be mad."

Susan turned away from him.

"I contacted the buyer abroad yesterday. We'll be negotiating the price today. I'll get that jewelry set for you," said Louis.

Susan was delighted at once. The unpleasant feelings caused by Luca were gone immediately. She looked at Louis and Yuri and asked, "Really?"

"Yes," replied Louis. Luke had promised to lend him the money to buy the jewelry. That should not be a problem.

"You're not fooling me this time, right?" Susan warned him, worried that he would look for a counterfeiter to make a counterfeit jewelry set to fool her.

"Don't worry. I'll bring it to the jewelry appraiser and let them identify and appraise the jewelry set. It's not going to be a counterfeit." Louis looked at the smile on Susan's face and knew she was not mad at him anymore.

Women were mysterious creatures. She was mad about the jewelry set, and the only thing that could cheer her up was the jewelry set.

However, the price paid to cheer her up was a little heavy.

"That's wonderful." Susan's day was brightened. She looked at Yuri and said, “Why did the two of you wake up late today? I told you so many times that you shouldn't sleep in when Grandpa is at home. You're lucky he didn't complain about anything today."

Louis and Yuri exchanged glances with each other. Louis scratched the back of his neck and said, “We were tired. That's why we slept in."

"Tired?" With her sharp eyes, Susan noticed there were love bites on Yuri's neck. Then, she understood at once. She smiled and said, "That's good. It's a good thing for young people to feel tired. I wonder if there'll be any surprise."

What Susan meant was getting pregnant with another child.

Yuri's face reddened. Louis was not planning to have another child. However, things escalated quickly last night. They had used up all the condoms, and the two of them could not hold themselves back any

longer.

Perhaps there could be a surprise...

“Mom, please excuse us. We're heading downstairs for breakfast," said Louis. He grabbed Yuri's hand and walked into the dining room.

Susan was pleased as she had received two pieces of good news this morning.

The first one was about the jewelry set she longed for.

The second was that Louis and Yuri's romantic life seemed to be getting back on track.

Susan hummed a merry little tune as she made her way up the stairs. She was planning to dress up and go out with those rich wives.

After Luke sent Luca and the kids back to the villa, it was almost time to get to the airport. Before he could tell Luca his heartfelt feelings, he grabbed his luggage and hurried to the airport.

Rainie stood at the door. She turned to look at Lanie after watching their father leave and said, “Big Brother, should we inform Uncle Zander to pick us up?"

“Let's tell him," said Lanie in a cool and distant manner.

Luca asked, “Where are you going?"

“Ms. Luca, today's Saturday. We have to attend a hobby class. Great-grandpa signed us up for it last month." Rainie smiled. Their father's leg was injured at that time, and they were sent back to Crawford Manor.

That was when Old Master Crawford signed the kids up for a hobby class to distract their attention so that they could find out and develop their hobbies and interests during their free time.

Rainie was signed up for a painting class, while Lanie attended an astronomy class. As for Tommy, Old Master Crawford signed him up for a calligraphy class to train his character.
