“I see. Will it be in the same school?" Luca asked as Lanie and Rainie's current school had elementary, middle, and high schools.
"Yes. That way, it'll be more convenient for Zander to send them and pick them up." Luke nodded. Although the elementary school was a little far from the middle school, it was closer compared to other schools.
Plus, they had good teachers, so Luke had no intention of having Lanie change schools.
Although it was a huge leap for Lanie to skip to ninth grade, Luca thought that it would not be that big of a deal for him because of his learning abilities.
Thus, she kept quiet as Luke had always wanted the best for the children.
Aunt Neile was tidying up the dishes when she said, "Young Master Blanche is a fast learner, and he's very smart, so it's good for him to skip to ninth grade. That way, he can graduate college earlier and help Mr. Crawford at work."
Luca nodded as what Aunt Neile said was right.
Although she hoped that the children could grow up carefreely and leave the stress of work for when they became adults, Lanie had outstanding talent.
They had to respect their child's wishes on how they wished to grow up.
Luca was deep in thought as she picked up a tissue to wipe her mouth. Then, she stood up and said, "I'll head to work now."
"Okay." Then, Luke got up to leave together with her.
Only after they got out of the house did Luke say, "Percy has something to do today, so if Nina calls you, let her stay at our place for the time being."
"What is he going to do?" Luca stopped in her tracks as she got worried all of a sudden.
Was it going to affect Nina?
Otherwise, why would she have to stay over?
"Percy will tell Karen the location of that guy's hotel," said Luke. He had told Percy to wait, but he did not think that he would be this patient.
Karen had been pressuring him lately, but he still waited days before telling her.
He was trying to teach Karen a lesson. Even with the new celebrity scandals, people were still invested in her past love affairs. There were no signs of the matter dying out even after the scandal between two of the hottest stars broke out.
If Percy did not make a move, Luke was not going to make a move either.
It was not until he received a message from Percy this morning that he had someone boost the scandal of the two stars.
“You mean the man that Mrs. Mallory was involved with in the past?" Luca confirmed with him.
If not for Karen, she would still be hiding her true identity from Luke right now.
She still did not know what to think of Karen's revenge.
Should she feel grateful or angry?
Although Luca was still confused about her stance regarding what Karen did, she still did not like Karen.
"Yes." Luke nodded.
"What does that have to do with Nina?" Luca was puzzled. Whether it was true or not, it was Karen's past. It had nothing to do with Nina.
Plus, Nina was not even born when Karen fell in love with that man.
"Karen may take her anger out on Nina, and Percy is going on a business trip today, so he hopes that Nina can stay at our place if that happens. Even if she does want to take it out on Nina, she won't come here out of consideration for the Crawford family," said Luke. Percy knew Karen well.
He did not want to tell Karen where the man was while he was on a business trip, but he got so annoyed by her daily urging that he thought that it was time to tell her.
Percy was going to take Nina with him, but she said no because she had to work at Brilliant Architectural Design LLC.
Seeing how insistent she was, he had no choice but to ask Luke for help.
"I got it. Why don't you tell Mr. Mallory that Nina can come to live here whenever he's on a business trip? Since Old Master Crawford has taken her in as his god-granddaughter, no one will say anything about it." Luca was hoping that Nina would come over.
That way, she could protect Nina and have someone to talk to at the same time.
"Alright, I'll let him know." Luke thought that it was a good idea too.
If Nina could help look after the children, Luca would have more free time.
Then, he would have more time to spend with her.
"I'll be going now," said Luca.
"Okay, drive safe," Luke reminded her before pressing his lips on her forehead.
Luca blushed as she walked out the gate.
Warren was already waiting for her there, and when he saw her coming, he immediately opened the door to the back seat.
Then, Luca got in the car and left for the office.
Mallory Manor.
Karen opened her eyes when she heard her phone ring. The heat on the internet had yet to subside, and Old Master Mallory was still giving her the cold shoulder. She had not been sleeping well from the immense stress.
Even though it was not enough to recharge her, she finally got an hour of shut-eye after much effort. When the phone rang, however, her mind was frantic.
“Which bastard is disturbing my sleep? I'm going to..." Karen's cursing came to an abrupt stop when she saw who was calling.
It was Percy.
It had been days, and Percy still had not found the man. Even though Karen had been urging him nonstop, there was nothing else she could do.
Besides, the person she hired could not find the person who spread those rumors.
The only thing she could do was nag at Percy and her people to continue the search.
Seeing as Percy was calling, Karen had a feeling that he found the man. She could not care less about being woken up from her sleep. She quickly picked up the phone. "Any news about him?"
"Yes, he's in room 407 at Kingdo Hotel." Percy sounded cold as he read the address Luke gave him to Karen
"Why is he still at a hotel? Help me capture that man and take him to Mallory Manor. I'll be there in a bit." Karen frowned as she was upset that Percy just told her his whereabouts without taking action.
If he did not capture him, how was she going to interrogate him?
Although Karen was certain that Luke's people did this, she had no hard evidence, so she could not go to the Crawfords to ask for an apology.
Karen's plan was to ask the guy who did this and beat him up to force the truth out of him.
Otherwise, her reputation would continue to be on the line.
"I'm busy. I'm boarding soon, so you can ask someone else to do it." As soon as Percy said that, a boarding announcement could be heard from his end.
Karen asked, "Where are you going?"
She was going to ask what else could be more important than her matter, but she needed Percy's help to capture that guy. She suppressed her temper and refrained from using harsh language.
"I'm going on a business trip. I'm about to board the plane. I've already told you the location, so it's up to you what to do next. It's your business anyway." Percy hung up.
Before Karen could say a word, all she heard was the dial tone.
She angrily bit her lower lip, and only after a few seconds did she remember to write down the address.
She had heard of Kingdo Hotel before. It was a five-star hotel in A City.
