Luca went to the washroom when the banquet was halfway through.

When she was in the cubicle, she coincidentally heard the two women outside talking about her.

"Who's the woman who walked into the hall with Luke while holding the two kids' hands? I remember that his wife doesn't look like that," one of the women asked.

"So, is she not really his wife? I thought I remembered it wrongly. Then who's that woman?"

"Luke's wife is still abroad. There's no news of her returning here. Who knows who that woman is? After all, she looks well-behaved. Perhaps she's that kind of woman."

"What kind of woman?"

"A mistress. Isn't it normal for a man as outstanding as Luke to keep a mistress?"

"That can't be. How dare a mistress show up on such an occasion? Even if she dares to, Luke wouldn't dare to bring her here. Isn't he afraid of pissing off the old master?"

"I agree, but did you notice how close the kids are to that woman? I heard Susan mention that this woman's identity is unknown and she refuses to say too much about it. She's afraid that the old master will scold her if he finds out."

"That's not good. Let's go. The Crawford family is really complicated. I thought Luke was a good man. I didn't expect him to be someone like this."

"Are there any men who never cheat on their woman? They just go undetected without getting caught by us. Come on, let's go."

Luca stood in the cubicle and listened to the two women discussing her. She shook her head helplessly. Susan was willing to go that far to ruin the Crawford family's reputation and talk nonsense to others.

She walked out of the cubicle. After she washed her hands, she left the washroom.

When she returned to the ballroom, many people were still looking at her. Luca ignored them and returned to her seat.
