“So what? What could he do to me when I'm saying the truth? If he dares to mess with me, I'll tell the media
everything!" Mrs. Jackman looked disgruntled.
Although the Jackman family's company was not as successful as T Corporation, Mrs. Jackman believed that she
had something on Luke.
These people usually kept their mistresses discreet and away from the media.
There were no media on an occasion like today, and everyone here was a close acquaintance. They were also in
business partnerships, so they would not disclose anything to the media.
Mrs. Jackman reckoned that Luke dared to have Luca accompany him because of that.
An idea popped into Susan's head when she heard Mrs. Jackman's words, so she pretended to empathize with her.
"Mrs. Jackman, I really admire you for being so brave."
"Oh, it's nothing. What bravery are you talking about? That sl*t has to pay for what she did." Mrs. Jackman had
never even interacted with Luca before, but because Susan led her astray, her hatred for Luca grew infinitely.
"You don't know this, but that woman said a lot of nasty things to me when I was in there just now just because she
has Luke to back her up.
"I was asking her to leave for her own good because Luke was a married man. Old Master Crawford may not care
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtabout him having a mistress, but as his stepmother, I have to do something. I'm just trying to save the Crawford
family's reputation, aren't I? Who knew that she would curse at me when I was just telling her to leave? That
woman has one heck of a mouth. I didn't even have the chance to defend myself..." Susan faked her tears and
wiped the corner of her eyes.
In reality, there was not even a single tear.
"How could she do that?" Mrs. Malcolm was surprised to hear her say that.
Although Susan appeared weak in front of them, they knew that Susan was not easily defeated. She had her ways,
and she was skilled in trash-talking.
Otherwise, how else was she able to fight Allison for so many years and secure her spot as Madam Crawford?
The average woman was no match for her.
"Right, that woman is unbelievably arrogant. The kindness she shows to the kids is all fake." Susan looked at Mrs.
Jackman, hoping that she would help her deal with Luca.
That way, she would be able to feel better without making a move herself.
“How cocky! How could she behave like that when she's not even a part of the family yet? Even if she eventually
becomes a part of the family, you're still her mother-in-law, yet she has no respect for you at all. I really want to
teach her a lesson..." Mrs. Jackman looked at Luca from afar with the intention of treating Luca like she treated her
husband's mistress to teach her a lesson.
"Just forget it. She's Luke's woman. If he starts investigating this matter, we'll be in trouble." Mrs. Malcolm shook her
head at her words.
"What do you mean just forget it? No wonder you keep quiet even when your husband is sleeping around. You're
used to turning a blind eye. What a coward!" Mrs. Jackman could not help but scoff at what Mrs. Malcolm said.
"Nonsense, I'm not a coward. It's because I have no feelings for that man, and I would just make things easier for
that b*tch if I leave. Otherwise, I would've divorced him already!" Mrs. Malcolm's expression changed. They became
friends because they all had something in common.
Their husbands were all having affairs.
"That's why I said we have to deal with mistresses. Those sl*ts should be taught a lesson. Madam Crawford, will you
help me?" Mrs. Jackman started to think about getting back at Luca.
"What do I need to do?" Susan was beyond excited as she leaned closer to listen.
Mrs. Jackman looked at Luca from a distance as she whispered into Susan's ear.
After a while, a maid walked up to Luca and said to her softly, "Ms. Craw, some ladies have invited you to the
backyard for a gathering."
"Backyard? Who are those ladies?" Luca asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You'll know once you get there. I have some things to tend to, so I won't walk you there," after saying that, the
maid left in a hurry.
She left before Luca could say anything.
Luca frowned as she looked at the maid leave. Who could it be?
She thought about what Nina said this morning and suspected that Percy would attend Louis' housewarming party.
However, she did not see Percy and Nina at the dining table, so she guessed that they probably got caught up in
something.
Was Nina in the backyard?
If it were Nina, why did she not see her walk in?
Could it be that Percy and Nina arrived when she took Rainie to the restroom? If that were the case, where was
Percy?
Luca looked around, but she did not see Percy anywhere.
She glanced at the three kids playing and hesitated for a bit before walking to the backyard.
There were not many people in the backyard at this time, so when Luca saw the three of them under the gazebo,
she was startled.
The one in the middle was Susan, and the women next to her were wives of wealthy families.
