Chapter 407 Meeting the Normans

At the study.

Louis opened the door and looked at his brother Luke, sitting at the desk and carefully perusingsome documents.

The heater was turned on, and the man was only dressed in a black shirt, which accentuated hismature demeanor.

From the door, Louis could see that his brother's legs were crossed.

Even he had to admit that his brother was very charming when serious.

Louis sighed again. He would also have been attracted to his brother if he were not a straight man.His brother was a workaholic, even working when it was the holiday period. Louis, though, wouldreplace sitting in front of a desk even for half an hour unbearable torture. Indeed, his brother Luke washis idol.

Luke seemed to have noticed that someone was looking at him. He lifted his head, saw that it wasLouis, lowered his head, and continued his work.

It was noon, and the sunlight was comfortable. The gentle rays shone through the floor-to-ceilingwindow and around Luke, enhancing the handsomeness of his sculpted face.

Louis was caught in a daze looking at his brother's face, even though he already knew that hisbrother was more handsome than him.

"Luke," he called out softly.

Luke's penetrating and profound gaze glanced at him. He lit a cigarette before asking, "How is yourmother?”

Of course, he knew about Susan suddenly passing out.

Unlike Allison, who gloated at Susan's misfortune, he performed his responsibility to his elders. Hedid not personally go and visit her, but he had called Johann to examine her.

Old Master Crawford had begged him to forgive the things that Susan had done to him; he did notmake her culpable, but he could not forget those things either. He had almost lost his life in a carcrash of her design, which made him lose out so much time that he could have spent with Bianca.On the other hand, he understood that all those tragedies would not happen if his mother Allisonhad not inserted herself into Zachary and Susan's marriage. He empathized with Susan, and thatwas why he could tolerate her.

He wanted to atone for his mother's sins.

"My mother fell asleep after taking some medicine. Johann said that it was psychological, and shewill need therapy. I'm sorry, Luke..."

Louis felt guilty as he looked at Luke.

He understood that what he overheard earlier might be true.

If his mother had plotted that car crash, that was a dark and horrifying side of his caring and lovingmother that he never knew.

His elder brother was still a boy back then. How merciless could someone be to wish death upon aninnocent boy?

Luke put the document in his hands down and took a drag of his cigarette.

He was concerned when he saw that Louis was bothered by something.” What's wrong? You're notyourself today.”

Louis suddenly sounded serious. "I've decided, Luke. I'll help you in the company after theweekend."

Luke exhaled a smoke ring and looked at his younger brother intently.” You're already helping in thecompany now, Louis."

Louis was so embarrassed that he did not look at his elder brother in the eye.

He took a deep breath and clenched his fists. “I'm not joking, Luke. I'm serious.”

Earlier, he went to the company under his grandfather's coercion. However, he had been slackingand taking every other day off. His only "help" was that he did not actively sabotage his elderbrother's work.

Now that he found out one of his mother's secrets, he felt guilty toward Luke.

He wished that he could help alleviate some of his elder brother's work.

"Mm, I trust you."

Luke did not know what caused the sudden change in Louis's demeanor, but he was happy withthat change.

He doted on his younger brother with a different mother.

Louis breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at his gold watch and remembered that he had something to do later. "I'll chat with youlater, Luke. I'll have to make preparations for Ms. Norman's birthday party in the evening.’

Luke's hand paused in mid-air. "Ms. Norman? Do you mean Leia Norman?" "Yes, Leia Norman's22nd birthday. I've also received an invitation," Louis said.

Luke did not reply.

It was a common occurrence for socialites to have grand birthday parties. Naturally, such eventswere the perfect opportunity for someone to expand their social network.

He had received an invitation from Leia earlier, but he had tossed it into the trash and forgottenabout it.

He was not fond of crowded places. He would rather not go to those parties unless it was reallynecessary.

However, Luke had an interest in attending the upcoming party. He remembered Bianca'sgrievances from the last Norman family event.

A smile appeared on his face as he flicked the silver lighter in his hand. "I'll go tonight too."

At about six o'clock in the evening, the sky was getting dark. An eyecatching black Rolls-Royce spedtoward the Norman family mansion.

The scenery along the drive was barren because it was mid-winter.

However, the snow on the trees looked rather pretty.

Bianca sat in the back seat and looked out of the window.

She was quite nervous when she remembered that she would be meeting her "love rival’ soon.

She did not understand Luke's decision. Luke knew that she was not happy to see Leia, so whywould he bring her to Leia’s birthday party?

Moreover, she had argued with Mrs. Norman the last time they met. She believed that the Normanswould not welcome her presence.

"We're here.” The driver's voice broke Bianca's train of thought.

The driver respectfully opened the car door.

Luke got out of the car first. Then, he helped Bianca out while shielding her head and waist.

The decorative steel gates of the Norman family mansion were wide open, welcoming guests fromall corners. Luxury cars were parked in a row.

A red carpet extended from the courtyard to the entrance and into the front hall.

At a glance, the hall was filled with luminaries from the political and business circles, as well asseveral renowned celebrities from the entertainment industry.

Luke and Bianca became the center of attention as they walked on the red carpet.

Many influential politicians and elite businessmen greeted Luke.

Bianca loved to watch the news and read financial magazines. She remembered seeing a lot ofthose faces on the television and the magazines.

She could not help but be impressed by the man’s extensive social network.

Bianca could feel her facial muscles turning stiff from the smile she had to maintain as they walked.Finally, as she stepped into the front hall, she saw many wealthy female socialites and famous moviestars surrounding Leia...
