Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2743

Susan eventually took her phone out after Mrs. Malcolm urged her to hurry up. She tried to call the security guard who was responsible for the villa’s security, hoping to have them delete the surveillance footage.

However, before anyone could answer the call, Susan saw Luke walking toward them with Luca by his side. Then, she muttered to herself, "It's too late."

Mrs. Jackman and Mrs. Malcolm noticed Luke's arrival. The expressions on their faces turned ugly.

Indeed, it was too late. Once Luca told Luke about this, who would dare to delete the surveillance footage?

"Madam Crawford, can’t you delete the surveillance footage yourself?" asked Mrs. Jackman.

Mrs. Jackman did not plan to confront Luke head-on. Her plan was to teach Luca a lesson, accuse her of theft, and make her apologize to Susan.

However, when she saw Luca's youthful and beautiful face, it reminded her of her husband's mistress. She lost her temper and threw a teapot full of boiling hot tea at her.

"I'm not familiar with the surveillance equipment, and I don't know where the computer is," Susan frowned.

She was not involved in the renovation of the villa. That was why she was not familiar with the layout of the house, not to mention where the surveillance monitoring system was...

"Mrs. Jackman, I think Luke won't let this slide so easily..." said Mrs. Malcolm. She regretted accompanying the two of them to watch this absurd spectacle unfold.

"Of course, I know that!" Mrs. Jackman's heart trembled as she watched Luke turn to look in their direction.

She had heard about what Luke had done for his wife before. Even though Luca was not his wife, she was currently his favorite person.

Therefore, Luke might really stand up for her.

"What's the matter?" Luke shifted his gaze from Susan and turned to look at Luca. He could read the helplessness in her expression. He could confirm that Susan had given Luca a hard time.

Luke had been surrounded by people after dinner. He was pulled into discussing various things about the business world. Hence, he got distracted and did not pay Luca enough attention.

He noticed that Luca was missing a moment ago. After he asked around, someone told him that they saw her heading to the backyard.

Luke thought Luca headed to the backyard to take a break and get some fresh air since the front yard was crowded. He followed behind her, but he did not expect to see Susan, Mrs. Jackman, and Mrs. Malcolm there...

"They accused me of stealing a necklace and said they’re going to call the police," said Luca.

Luke's face turned livid with rage when he heard this. How dare they accuse her?

At the same time, he realized that Susan must have started this.

"Let’s call the police, then," said Luke.

"No, don't call the police…" Luca shook her head. "The guests haven't left yet. It'll make things ugly if we call the police."

Luke glanced at Susan and the other two women who were watching them from the pavilion. His face darkened.

"It's Mr. Louis’ big day today. It’ll affect Old Master Crawford and Mr. Louis’ mood if we call the police. It’ll ruin the Crawford family's reputation too," added Luca. It was not that she wanted to let Susan and the others off the hook. She was putting herself in Luke’s shoes and looking at the situation from the Crawford family’s perspective.

"Okay, but I won’t let this slide easily," Luke said.

"Can you ask Mr. Louis to find someone to retrieve the surveillance footage? Just the footage from the camera that’s recording the pavilion in the backyard," asked Luca. There was no way the Jackman family would become a threat to the Crawford family.

Ever since she joined the Island of Despair, she adopted a new philosophy…

She told herself not to get into trouble, but she did not have to be afraid to confront the other party if they came looking for trouble.

Since the Jackman family could not do any harm to the Crawford family, it would be better for her to settle accounts with Mrs. Jackman.

Luke pursed his lips and gave the three women who were in the pavilion a cold look. "What did they do?"

"Mrs. Jackman threw a teapot full of boiling hot water at me. I couldn't dodge it in time and got injured," replied Luca.
