“But Tommy's fine... I was just blowing off steam yesterday. Ms. Luca, can't you forgive us and let us go?” Myra could not help but whimper. She was also blaming Luca for being heartless.

"Why would you say that?” Luca looked at her red eyes.

Luca knew Myra's eyes were red because she cried. It was not because she felt aggrieved. She could still see the frustration in her eyes.

If Tommy's father was not Luke, this might have ended differently...

"What?" Myra suddenly could not understand what Luca meant.

“You said Tommy is fine. Why would you say that?” asked Luca. Since they wanted to make things unreasonable, she would give them a taste of it as well.

Myra was startled for a moment. She did not know how to answer the question

Myra was not the child. How could she know that? She had no choice but to say with some embarrassment, “Look at him. Isn't he doing fine now?”

Luca gave them a cold-eyed stare and said, “Tommy's father made these arrangements. Go and look for him if you'd like to apologize to him and settle this outside the court. I'm in no position to do anything for you. Mrs. Tuffey, I hope you understand that everything happens for a reason. I wasn't the one who started this. You were there when the incident happened yesterday. Besides, I told you that Charlie's mother had to apologize to Tommy if it wasn't Tommy's fault. Otherwise, I'd use the law as a weapon to defend the child.”

“You're right...” Mrs. Tuffey replied cowardly.

She never expected Luca to be so tough.

Luca appeared to be a fine woman who was humble and kind. Hence, Mrs. Tuffey thought Luca was an easygoing person.

It was only when she found out that Luca was suing Charlie's parents did she realize the woman in front of her was not someone to be messed with.

Moreover, she had someone powerful supporting her.

“You b*tch!” Brigham finally knew what Myra said to Luca and what she did yesterday.

He could not help but slap Myra in the face.

“Whoa, you hit me!” Myra covered her face with her hand. She refused to believe that her husband slapped her because of this.

“Look at what you've done!” Brigham's mouth quivered in annoyance. Everyone in A City knew who Luke Crawford was. He would not let the issue slide so easily after Myra criticized his child that way. "I..." Myra tried to explain, but she noticed that Luca and Tommy had left the classroom.

Her eyes welled up as she watched Luca's slim figure from behind. Hatred filled her eyes

Brigham realized that and thought of catching up with them.

Mrs. Tuffey shook her head and said, “Mr. Hudson, you should give up. There's no way you can settle this here.”

"What can I do? If I offend Luke Crawford, I'm doomed for the rest of my life.” Brigham glowered. There was a hint of spitefulness in his eyes when he turned to look at Myra.

"You don't even have to worry about the company's matter. All I ask of you is to take good care of our child and tidy up the house. Not only did you not take good care of the child, but you didn't educate him well either. You even got me into such big trouble. Now, you're dragging our company into this. Myra, I'll divorce you if you don't get this settled!" Brigham left angrily after saying that. “Brigham Hudson, what a heartless man you are. I'll kill you if you divorce me. Then I'll kill myself!” Myra did not expect her husband to say something like that because of this. Her hatred for Luca was getting stronger.

Mrs. Tuffey did not expect this would happen after the parent-teacher conference.

Even though not many parents stopped by to watch, it was terrible to see this happening in the classroom

Mrs. Tuffey took two sheets of tissue paper out and handed them to Myra. “Mrs. Hudson, stop crying. It's not too late yet.”

Myra took the tissue papers from her. She wiped her tears and complained about Brigham being heartless to her, “I gave up my career for him. I've been taking care of the family, his parents, and our child. Now he wants to divorce me because of a lawyer's letter. I chose to turn a blind eye to him messing with those women out there and not caring for his parents and child. A happy marriage simply requires us to look beyond each other's imperfections. How can he not understand this? Mrs. Tuffey, can you tell me what I should do now?”

Mrs. Tuffey felt awkward. However, given the circumstances, she could not find an excuse to leave. Myra was already breaking down because of what Brigham said to her. Mrs. Tuffey was worried that Myra would do something silly if she left with the others.

Mrs. Tuffey had no choice but to say, “People usually say something mean when they're venting their anger on someone. Everything will be fine after Ms. Luca calms down. Mrs. Hudson, why don't you head to my office first? There are people around here. It'll make you look bad.”

Myra sobbed and nodded. She followed Mrs. Tuffey to her office.

Luca got into the car after Tommy and her left the classroom.

Luca initially planned to go home, but she suddenly received a call from Rhett. She had no choice but to ask Warren to drop her at Watson Biopharmaceuticals to check what happened.

After they arrived at Watson, Luca sat in the car and said to Tommy, “Tommy, can you stay in the car and wait for me?"

“Ms. Luca, I'd like to go upstairs too.” Tommy pouted his mouth and disagreed.

Luca felt awkward. How was she going to explain to the others if she brought a child along with her?

Besides, many people were in the office. Someone would know that Tommy was Luke's youngest son.

“Ms. Luca, I won't cause any trouble. It's boring to stay in the car. I can do my homework in your office. Maybe I can head to your assistant's office to do my homework too. I promise I'll be good!” said Tommy.

Luca had no choice but to agree to it when she saw how reluctant Tommy was to stay in the car. “Fine. You're only allowed to do your homework when you're upstairs. Don't run around the building.”

"Okay! I promise I won't do that!” assured Tommy.

Luca took him upstairs, and they arrived at the floor where the laboratory was. She led Tommy to the assistants room as she planned to ask Mo Stone to look after him for a while.

“Ms. Stone.” Luca held Tommy's hand as she walked into the assistant’s office.

“Dr. Craw, you're back?” Mo Stone stood up and noticed that she was holding a child's hand.

The child looked familiar...

"Yes. Please look after Tommy for me. I'm going to the lab.” Luca looked down and reminded Tommy, “Be good and do your homework. Don't be naughty.”

"Alright, Ms. Luca. Don't worry. I'll behave myself.” Tommy skipped happily toward Mo Stone. He lifted his head, smiled, and greeted her, "Hello, Ms. Stone. May I know where my seat is?"

“Oh, here.” Mo Stone immediately pulled a chair out and let him sit beside her office desk.

"Thank you, Ms. Stone." Tommy sat on the chair. He opened his school bag and took his exercise books out.

He promised Luca that he would do his homework while waiting for her.

He would not break his promise.

Luca set her worries aside when she saw Tommy sitting there, doing his homework. Then, she walked toward the laboratory.
