Big bad wolf, huh? His favorite was definitely the little bunny.
Luke wore a confident smile and then continued with his work.
After calming down in the bathroom for a while, Luca washed her face and walked out of the bathroom.
While Luke watched her, she opened her luggage, found a dress, and then walked back into the
bathroom to change.
The moment the bathroom door closed, she heard Luke's voice, "Actually, it’s okay to change here,
because we're going out for dinner later, and I can't do anything to you."
Luca's face turned red at once. "No."
After that, she closed the door and recalled Luke's teasing voice. She locked the door, changed out of
her wrinkled clothes, and put on the dress.
She knew what the dinner tonight meant, so she chose an appropriate outfit that would not embarrass
Luke.
After changing into the dress, she splashed some cold water on her face.
Then, she examined herself in the mirror carefully. She had slept well last night, so there were no dark
circles, and her skin was in good condition. She remembered her days working at Brilliant without much
makeup, and she decided to skip it this time.
She pushed open the door and saw Luke still working by the sofa. She asked, "Does the Turner family
have any background?"
"It's considered a family..." answered Luke. Evan's family was wealthier than many families in A City,
but they were not on the same level as the Crawford, Mallory, and Holston families.
Essentially, one could say these families did not really see much value in the Turner family's wealth.
Luca was puzzled for a moment but then thought about Shireen's status as an illegitimate child. It
dawned on her.
A man without a wealthy family background would not easily engage in reckless behavior.
However, considering the Turner family's wealth, why would Evan choose to work for Luke instead of
his own family?
Why not work in his own family's business? Why would he work for another company?
Luca asked, "Why did Evan come to work at Watson?"
"Evan's father racked up a lot of romantic debts outside. Shireen wasn’t the only one. So, for the Turner
family, the one thing they don't lack is an heir," explained Luke.
Luca widened her eyes, finding it unbelievable.
She had never heard of the Turner family before, probably because it was not as prominent as the
Crawford, Mallory, and Holston families.
However, men from these families, even if they were promiscuous, would not easily leave behind
multiple heirs.
Too many heirs would only complicate matters for the one involved in those romantic entanglements.
The family had to guard against problems popping up everywhere, similar to the wealthy families in
Hokona.
However, the Turner family seemed particularly unique...
Based on what Luke told her, was the situation with the Turner family not similar to those high-society
families in Hokona?
"So, did Evan get pushed out by other heirs?" Luca asked with more curiosity.
Luke saw potential in Evan, which meant that he must be capable.
A child born in wedlock with real capabilities would not easily lose to others, right?
It could not be that it was just the Turner family's genes that made every heir outstanding, right.
"Not really. It's just that the head of the Turner family assigns a task to each heir, a two-year challenge
to make achievements outside the Turner family without relying on their family. The one with the best
results gets shares in the Turner Corporation." Luke was aware of the Turner family's wager.
This challenge was treated as a joke in high society.
Everyone laughed at the womanizer from the Turner family who not only had affairs everywhere but
also left offspring all over the place.
Leaving offspring was one thing, but the crucial part was that they were not biased toward the children
born to the legitimate wife, which was quite heartless.
After all, Evan's abilities were outstanding. It was quite absurd to reject such a capable heir and make
him compete with the other heirs.
Making them establish a career without relying on the Turner family's funds?
Such challenges were common in Hokona upper-class families. However, those families were usually
large and would provide their children with some capital to start their own businesses and compete with
each other.
In contrast, the Turner family did not even provide the necessary funds, which made them become a
subject of mockery. Still, everyone understood that the Turner family's wealth could not be distributed
among the competing heirs, or else the family would not last.
Luca was rendered speechless when she heard the challenge.
"Really, all sorts of things happen..." Luca could not help but exclaim.
Luke nodded. "Yes. When Evan saw the job opening at Watson, he came to my office for an interview. I
knew him and considered it, but since Evan wasn't applying for a position at T Corporation
headquarters, and even if he later did something to betray the company, it wouldn't have much impact.
So, I agreed to hire him."
Before Luke hired Evan, he hesitated due to his background.
However, considering Evan's good qualifications and the fact that the Turner family was not involved in
the pharmaceutical industry, Luke decided to let him join.
With someone like Evan as the general manager, he felt reassured about Watson.
As for the other heirs, Luke did not bother to investigate.
The Turner family's final choice did not really have any significant connection to him.
"The stories behind all this are quite unexpected," Luca could not help but sigh. "Poor Shireen."
Families like the Turner family always valued boys the most. As a girl, Shireen probably was not of
much use to the family head. At best, she would serve as a tool for the family's arranged marriages.
However, recalling Shireen's history, she had been working part-time since high school, supporting
herself through college until she graduated with a master's degree.
A girl who managed to pay for her tuition fees in high school might have not received any help from the
Turner family.
Therefore, it was doubtful that she would become a pawn in the Turner family's arranged marriages.
In summary, just because she was a girl, Shireen did not receive much favor from her family.
"Are you ready?" Luke was unaware of Shireen's situation and didn't sympathize with her.
Even though family backgrounds were not something they could choose, how they lived their lives was
still within their control.
Just like Luke...
He was the result of Zachary Crawford's affair, a legacy left behind by Allison's scheme.
However, he managed to carve out his own path in the world.
People said he was lucky. Even though Zachary had a wandering eye and played the field romantically,
he was cautious and did not leave behind any other illegitimate children.
However, Luke knew that even if Zachary had left him with numerous competitors, it wouldn't have
mattered.
As long as Old Master Crawford gave him an opportunity, he could stand out among the competition.
He was part of the Crawford family. He had the ruthless determination that Old Master Crawford
showed in the business world, and his unique investment insights were qualities that others could not
surpass.
These qualities were not innate talents. They were the result of years of continuous learning and
practical experience.
Luke knew that he needed to be tough on himself to seize more opportunities.
"Alright. It’s done. Do you want to change into another outfit?" asked Luca.
Even though Luke had accompanied her for a while, he had not turned or moved much, so his clothes
were not wrinkled.
"No need, I'll stick with this one," replied Luke. Even though Evan was from the Turner family, now that
he worked for him, there was no need to be too formal.
