“Fine. Just once." Luca could not bear to see her child pleading with her. She also blamed herself for being useless.
If it were not for Abel, who was manipulating her, she would not have to use her current identity to attend her child's parent-
teacher conference.
She would not have to trouble Old Master Crawford to take care of the kids for her either.
Other than that, Luca wondered why the school was holding a parent-teacher conference at this time.
Luca had only confronted Mrs. Hudson yesterday, and before Luke could do anything, the school was already organizing this
conference. She thought it was troublesome.
"That's great. I don't have to trouble Great-grandpa this time!" said Tommy, putting on a smile as a hint of complacency flashed
across his eyes.
After breakfast, Zander sent the three kids to school. Luca sat at the dining table, thinking about the parent-teacher conference.
While Aunt Neile cleaned the table, she asked with curiosity, "Ms. Luca, are you having a day off today?"
"No. I'm going to work later." Luca shook her head. It was just that Tommy's parent-teacher conference was bothering her.
If she argued with Mrs. Hudson in front of the other parents, it would have a bad effect on the kids.
It seemed like Mrs. Hudson did not care if her behavior would be a bad influence on her child. Judging from her vindictive
personality, she would certainly make things difficult for Luca in front of everyone.
"I notice that you're sitting here and staring blankly. Is something bothering you?" Aunt Neile asked caringly.
Luca nodded and replied, "I'm going to attend Tommy's parent-teacher conference. I'm just doing it to help out Mr. Crawford, but
Tommy was falsely accused of doing something wrong yesterday. I confronted the child's mother at the teacher's office, and the
child's mother is a vengeful person. I'm certain that she'll make things difficult for me in front of everyone if I attend the parent-
teacher conference today."
Aunt Neile nodded.
Then, Luca asked, "Aunt Neile, if she picks on me, do you I think should mention Tommy's father, Mr. Crawford, to back us up, or
should I just ignore her and let her make a scene? Or should I play on her nerves when she makes a move?"
Luca pondered for a moment and thought that all those did not sound like a good idea.
After all, many students and parents would be there watching them.
“Ms. Luca, I'm not a wise person, but I know if my child is being treated unfairly, I'm pretty sure I'll go looking for trouble. We can't
just let the child be wronged, right?" said Aunt Neile.
Luca nodded. Yes, she could not let Tommy be treated unfairly.
No matter if it was in front of everyone or in private, if Mrs. Hudson insisted on getting even with Luca for this, she would try her
best to defend Tommy even if things got out of control.
"Alright. I know what to do now. Thank you, Aunt Neile. I'm leaving for work. Please inform Mr. Crawford that I'll be attending
Tommy's parent-teacher conference when he wakes up." Luca rose to her feet. She was sure that she wanted to defend Tommy
and not let him be unfairly treated. She no longer hesitated to use which method to deal with it.
It would be good as long as she could defend Tommy regardless of what kind of methods she used.
"Okay, Ms. Luca," replied Aunt Neile.
Half an hour after Luca left for work, Luke woke up and headed downstairs. He came to the dining room and noticed Luca and
the three kids were not there.
"Good morning, Mr. Crawford. Would you like to have breakfast now?" Aunt Neile heard noises and walked out of the kitchen.
She saw that Luke was awake and asked passionately.
"Sure." Luke nodded. "Have they finished breakfast already?"
"Yes, Mr. Crawford. You woke up late today." Aunt Neile smiled and served breakfast. Then, she informed Luke of what Luca
said to her. "Oh yes, Mr. Crawford. Ms. Luca wanted me to inform you that she'll be attending Young Master Tommy's parent-
teacher conference on behalf of you today."
"Parent-teacher conference?" Luke picked up his phone and glanced at the parent-teacher group on his phone. There was an
announcement indeed, and it was about the parent-teacher conference this afternoon.
"Okay. I got it."
It would be best if Luca could go. Tommy had always wanted to get closer to Luca. If it were not for Luke, who told them to
pretend they did not know about Luca's true identity, the three kids would have probably addressed her as their mother.
"By the way, Mr. Crawford, Ms. Luca seemed to be bothered by the parent-teacher conference." Aunt Neile pondered for a
moment and decided to tell Luke what Luca was worried about.
Luke was the child's father, after all. He could solve the problem that was bothering her with just a lift of his finger.
"Bothered?" Luke put his spoon down.
Aunt Neile continued, "Ms. Luca told me that she confronted one of the parents when she went to the school to handle Young
Master Tommy's matter. The student's mother is a vindictive person. Luca was worried that she might pick on her when she met
her during the parent-teacher conference later." "Okay." After Luke heard what Aunt Neile say, he picked up his phone and called
Mr. Zac.
"Good morning, Mr. Crawford," greeted Mr. Zac after he answered the call.
Luke did not exchange pleasantries with him. He went straight to the point instead. "Mr. Zac, when will you be able to finish
drafting the complaint I requested?"
After Luca left his office yesterday, he found the person's true identity and background based on the name and address given by
Mrs. Tuffey.
Charlie's parents were the owners of West Elms Lighting.
West Elms Lighting was famous in the local lighting industry.
However, it was only famous in A City.
Luke contacted Mr. Zac after he found out who it was. Then, he sent Luca's recording to him and asked him to draft a complaint
and deliver it to the Hudsons.
“Probably before noontime," Mr. Zac immediately replied.
"I'll give you two hours. Deliver the complaint to the owners of West Elms Lighting." Luke was not patient enough to wait until
noontime.
He wanted them to receive the complaint before noon. Then, they would be able to find out who Tommy was.
Luca was the woman he loved the most, and Tommy was his youngest son. How could he let others bully them?
Especially when that woman threatened Luca.
Luke wanted them to know the consequences of threatening the person he cared about the most.
"Yes, Sir. I'll do it right now." Mr. Zac dared not to say no to him. He had no choice but to agree with him.
He immediately dropped everything and drafted the complaint.
When Luke requested him to draft the complaint yesterday, he did not tell him when he needed it. He happened to be working on
some other cases. That was why he had yet to start drafting the complaint.
Mr. Zac turned on his computer and heaved a sigh. It looked like Luke's matter had to be his priority in the future. Luke was his
big client, after all.
The amount of money Luke paid their law firm annually was enough to support everyone who was working there.
Many attorneys wanted a big client like him. Some were even jealous of him, and they could not wait to see Mr. Zac make a
mistake and lose a big client like Luke. That way, they would have the chance to make Luke their client.
Mr. Zac dialed the intercom number and asked his assistant to come in. "Hurry, come to my office and draft a complaint with me."
After Mr. Zac hung up the call, his assistant came to his office while carrying a laptop. The two of them started drafting the
complaint nervously.
