Chapter 285 Luke Is A Scoundrel Too

Lacey wailed even louder after she heard her husband reprimand her.

Eventually, she lifted her head and looked at Daniel. "Now you blme for pampering the kid, but what have you done? All you know is make money. Sometimes you don't chat night, and sometimes you fly out for business trips for extended periods. Don't you know your son's personality? Do you think that I alone can discipline him?" ’I have to support the family. You don't have a job, so how am I supposed to pay the bills if I don't work hard?" Daniel said.

He had toiled hard for the family over so many years, and now his wife was blaming her for not taking care of their son. That made him angry. 1

As Daniel and Lacey argued, Xavier eventually cto.

His head that was already throbbing hurt even more when he saw his parents almost getting physical with each other.

'Alright, that's enough. Can't you just letrest?" Xavier said with an annoyed expression.

Ever since he was a child, his parents had never stopped fighting with each other. Sometimes, they would throw vases and plates at each other. When they got serious, they would threaten to wreck the house.

Through the years, as they grew older, their fights did not lessen. Instead, they beceven more frequent with increasing intensity.

That was why Xavier would rather hang out with other hooligans instead of going home.

No child wanted to watch their parents argue and fight.

"Are you OK, Xavier? Why are you hurt again? I've already told you so many times that you should stay away from trouble when you're out there. Look at you, you've just gotten out of prison not too long ago and you're already injured so heavily. Don't you know how distressed I am?" As Lacey spoke, she began to wipe her tears again.

Daniel sighed. He looked at Xavier lying on the bed and wished that his son had died. There would be one less menace on Earth that way.

Then, he shook his head to clear that thought. He could not abandon his only son.

Xavier was irritated by his mother's incessant crying. "Alright, Mom. I'll stay out of trouble. Stop crying," he said impatiently.

His eyes flashed with hostility when he thought how Luke had thrashed him.

He would eventually repay this grudge.

In all his years, he had never been beaten so badly before.

Even while in prison, he had been the bully and never the bullied.

'Tellhonestly, Xavier, who's the wretch that hurt you like this? I'll make sure that you get your justice!" That was the first tthat Lacey made such a resolute promise.

Xavier did not plan on telling his parents, in case they worried about him.

However, he thought of how Luke was related to his family and cup with an idea. "Who else? It's your favorite nephew, Luke Crawford. Don't you know how shameless Luke is, Mom? Bianca is my wife, but he's claiming her as his own. Not only is he makinga cuckold, but he barged into my room when I was making out in bed with my wife, which is an entirely normal thing to do in a perfectly legal marriage. He injuredand took her away. Have you ever seen a cousin who behaved that way?"

'What? It's because of Luke? That's impossible. Luke might be quiet and reserved, but I know that he's an intelligent boy. Could there be a misunderstanding?" Daniel did not believe Xavier's claim. He was defending his nephew.

He knew that his sister Allison was not reliable, but Luke had been an outstanding child. Daniel did not believe that Luke would do something so reckless.

Xavier was furious when he heard his father's words. "Who's your son, Dad? Me, or Luke?" He said mockingly, "Do you trust him that much? Would I lie to you when I'm so heavily injured? Even you've seen that there's something fishy going on between Bianca and him. If Bianca and I are divorced, then I have nothing to say, but the main point is that we're still married, and that woman is already cuckolding me! Shouldn't you ask Aunt Allison to rein in her son? You wouldn't want your grandchild to have Luke's genes, right?"

Lacey wiped her tears. Her eyes were already red and puffy. "See that, Daniel?" She said indignantly, "Like mother, like son. Your sister is a loose woman, and her son is a playboy. He could have gotten any woman with his status and wealth, but he insists on claiming his cousin's wife! That's immoral! All you Tanners are the same. Oh, how unlucky do I have to be to marry into your family?’

Lacey had always looked down upon her sister-in-law. Even so, it was undeniable that Allison had used her charms to find herself a position in a wealthy family. Now, she was even the matriarch of the Crawfords.

Allison might be an underhanded woman, but her son was capable and talented.

That was why Allison could be living the easy life now.

Lacey might look down upon Allison, but she could not deny that she envied her to a certain extent.

She envied Allison for being the matriarch of the Crawfords, for having such an outstanding son, and for having two cute and obedient grandchildren.

Now, she had found a flaw in Allison's son. He fell in love with a married woman.

That gave Lacey more ammunition to attack Allison.

No matter how outstanding Allison's son might be, he nevertheless coveted Xavier's wife.

Daniel was infuriated by the conversation between mother and son. He was even angrier when he was reminded of that two-timing Bianca. "What's so good about that flirt? If she has such loose morals, why don't you divorce her?”

Xavier glared stubbornly at his father and said threateningly, "I don't care what kind of woman she is; she is the woman I want. No one else will do. If you want a grandchild, then helpretain her. Otherwise, you won't ever get a grandchild." "You... ingrate!” Daniel grabbed the pillow and was about to use it to thrash Xavier.

He stopped himself when he saw his son's injuries. 'TH call Allison to cover to the hospital later. She'll have to discipline her son!"

The phone carelessly tossed aside on the office table suddenly rang. Luke stubbed out his cigarette and answered the call.

’Hello?" ’Long tno see, Mr. Crawford. I'm surprised that you remember this old friend of yours." The voice that cthrough the phone was pleasant and melodic. One almost could not tell whether the voice cfrom a male or a female.

Luke stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office and looked down at the entire city. "I have a request for someone, Mr. Mallory. One of my woman's friends is in your younger brother's hands. I

owe you a favor. Letbuy you dinner next time.'

The other end paused for a while before speaking. The tone of his voice was curious. "Your woman? Since when did you have a woman?"

Luke chuckled and said cynically. "The kitten of mine has quite the temper.

I'll bring her to meet you when she's tamed."

The other end of the phone paused for a while, seeming at a loss for a reply.

Then, he laughed. "Alright, I'll give Pierre a call."

The call ended.

Luke's gentle eyes looked at the traffic on the road below. The smile on his face gradually faded...

His kitten was throwing a tantrum. How should he ther?
