Chapter 963 Lawyer's Letter
'Just how useless is Bianca?! How dare she run a company when her capabilities are still lacking? She's begging Luke for help just because she failed at securing the partnership. The man I love is working hard to manage T Corporation but he even has to deal with such trivial matters on her behalf now?! Not only does she not share his worries but he has to help sort out her problems as well. Bianca is not qualified to stand beside Luke!'
Bianca felt nothing when she heard Mavis' sour and accusatory tone.
No matter how much Mavis made it seem as though she was involved with Luke, it was all fiction.
Bianca trusted Luke and turned her head to look at him tenderly.
Luke looked at Mavis indifferently as he replied, Ms. Laviere, my wife is not interested in your kind of business meetings."
He said it mockingly as he glanced at the bottle girls in revealing clothing.
Mavis was taken back and felt ashamed. She was not a fan of places as such, but she had to cater to Steven's preferences.
She was well aware of Bianca’s tricks. She took a deep breath before she said, ’ Mr. Crawford, do you think of me as a fool? I'm well aware that Brilliant Architectural Design LLC is competing for the St. Heckler project and you're here to help her secure it. Here I am fighting tooth and nail for my livelihood. Look at her taking the shortcut and asking you for help. Do you think that's fair? What's more, Steven has a meeting with me tonight, not with her."
Bianca was irked at Mavis, but she told herself to hold back.
Although Bianca was surprised that Luke brought her here and had no clue about it before arriving, she was sure that they were there for something other than the St. Heckler project.
Luke could sense that Bianca was ticked off. He rubbed the back of her hand with his fingers, and his gentle movements calmed her inner restlessness.
Bianca smiled and calmed down as she processed Mavis' provocative accusations.
When Luke looked up again, his gaze turned colder as he said, "I’m her husband."
Mavis was thinking of 101 ways to kill Bianca. 'This incompetent woman doesn’t deserve his love!' "Secondly, I'm not here for Brilliant Architectural Design LLC. Mr. Doyle, I believe you have something for Mr. Steven?" Luke stopped talking to Mavis about things that he thought were a waste of time. He was willing to give her five minutes considering that they had once worked together but would do nothing beyond that.
"Yes." Jason handed the document in his hand to Steven, who was still enjoying himself with alcohol and girls. Even when the three of them walked into the private room, Steven had not stopped drinking or touching the girls.
Steven asked, "What's this?” "This is the lawyer's letter from Mr. Luke Crawford." Jason smiled and acted innocent.
Steven was stunned and asked, "Why am I getting a lawyer's letter?" "You harassed my wife and her associate yesterday." Luke turned around and put his arms on Bianca's shoulder, declaring his position.
Bianca was stunned too. Then, the corners of her mouth gently raised into a smile. 'This was his plan all along!'
Luke came to a place like this because of the grievance she suffered yesterday. Her mood was bright as she looked at Steven's shocked expression.
However, Steven replied cunningly, "Do you have any evidence of what you're accusing me of?" "Every private room in the Westin Hotel has security cameras. Here's the evidence that you asked for, Mr. Steven. See you in court," Jason answered on Luke's behalf.
Steven hurriedly pushed aside the bottle girls next to him to take a look at the lawyer's letter.
Under the colorful lights, he could barely read the contents.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Luke helped Bianca stand up and they walked out of the private room together.
"Luke..." Mavis did not expect this to happen. She stood up and called out to Luke. This belongs to - ©.
Luke did not turn around. It was as if he did not hear anything as he left with his arms around Bianca.
Jason stood there, put his smile away, and said solemnly, "Mr. Steven, please read through the document in detail. Our team of lawyers will be in contact for the next steps." "This is slander!" Steven’s scalp went numb. All he wanted was a good time. He did not expect that things would get to this stage.
"Aren't you forgetting something? We have evidence in our hands. Ms.
Laviere, here's a gentle reminder to please be mindful of your words. After working with Mr. Crawford for so long, you should understand that although Mr. Crawford loves his wife, he's not what you said he is," Jason warned her. If it were not for Mavis' outstanding work that aided in Luke's career, he would have held her accountable for everything she just said.
Mavis sank into the leather sofa, her face turning pale.
Jason left and closed the door on his way out.
Steven had lost the mood to drink and shouted at the bottle girls to leave. He was feeling at a loss as he scanned through the lawyer's letter.
"Ms. Laviere, is T Corporation a company that I should be concerned about?" Although Steven had heard of T Corporation, he was not aware of the details.
"Yeah." Mavis was upset. However, it was uncertain whether it was because of Luke's indifference toward her or because of what she said to him.
She knew the kind of person he was, but jealousy made her say something she should not have.
'It's all Bianca's fault! Else, I would never have lost the superficial generosity and grace that I've always shown Luke.'
When Steven heard that, he immediately took out his phone and searched for T Corporation... After seeing T Corporation's portfolio and Luke's photo, he felt chills all over.
"It's over for me," Steven whispered. T Corporation was one of the largest groups in A City. It would take nothing for a powerful company like T Corporation to crush him.
What was more, he had failed to control his heart and hands the day before.
Steven was upset. He thought that he would not have pissed Bianca off if he did not agree to today's meeting with Mavis.
"Ms. Laviere, I wouldn’t be in this mess if I hadn't agreed to meet you today. You'll get this sorted out for me." He wanted to drag her into the mess.
Mavis was upset, and her voice rose a few decibels as she said, "Steven, how can you say that? Did I grab your hand and force you to touch Bianca? Even if you didn't agree to this meeting with me, Mr. Crawford would’ve still come looking for you. You should’ve expected a lawyer letter the moment you laid your hands on her."
When Steven heard it, he knew that Luke would never let go of him.
His fat body was shaking. In his early years, he had a taste of living a poor and hard life. If Luke insisted on going to court, he was afraid that he might have to return to his previous life.
Steven was unwilling to let it go without a fight and said, "Do you think you can slip your way out of this? If you hadn’t said those things, Luke might not have given me a lawyer's letter."
He believed that the sole reason Luke dropped by was to secure the partnership for Brilliant Architectural Design LLC. However, Mavis annoyed Luke, so the lawyer's letter was handed over.
Rich people were all about saving their dignity. When Mavis said that, Luke would not have revealed his true intentions to save his dignity.
Mavis stared at him with her eyes wide open. This man was so addicted to drinking and women that he had lost his brain.
He did not know Luke, but she knew him well.
She picked up the lawyer’s letter and saw that it was issued by Walter Long's office. She said, "I know this lawyer." "Can you bribe him?" Steven had hope.
