Susan asked on purpose with the intention of humiliating Luca.

"Dr. Craw is not familiar with Antique Street in A City, so I took her there. She personally chose the gift for Grandpa." Luke knew what Susan had in mind and saved Luca from blushing out of embarrassment.

Susan would feel threatened as long as the matter was related to Luke.

"Oh, no wonder! Luke, items from the antique street that you mentioned should be very expensive, right? Dr. Craw is just a researcher. Her position and salary are decent but those antiques are worth tens of millions. Dr. Craw, wouldn't it be a burden for you to buy something so expensive?" Susan continued. Even if she could tell that Luke wanted to protect Luca, she was unwilling to let it go.

Luca felt powerless. She could tell that Susan was not going to let her off easily.

"It's nothing expensive. I'm happy as long as Old Master Crawford likes it," she said.

"It's not expensive?" Susan smiled and looked at the gift box in the butler's hand. "How can there be antiques that are not expensive? Could it be that you bought a fake and got scammed?"

She deliberately mentioned that because she knew that Old Master Crawford hated it when others fooled him with fakes.

Old Master Crawford absolutely hated counterfeiters, especially when it came to antiques.

Luca knew the kind of person Susan was and felt a headache coming on. When she was about to explain herself, she heard Luke say, "Grandpa will know whether it's genuine or not once he has a look at it,"

She was stunned, but she knew that it would be fine even if Old Master Crawford opened the gift in front of everyone. Luke would never buy fake things to fool his grandfather.

Luke never bothered with Susan unless it came to people or things that he held dear.

Luke looked at Susan with a cold expression and said indifferently, "Since you're worried that Dr. Craw will be deceived by others, let's open the gift while there are not many guests around. Grandpa can also check it so that if Dr. Craw bought a fake, she can hold the seller accountable."

Old Master Crawford did not want to do that but Susan was belligerent. He knew that he would never hear the end of it if he did not do as Luke said.
