Old Master Crawford, who was on the other end of the call, shook his head. "That won't work. You're not disturbing my grandchildren, but you're bothering my goddaughter."

"Your goddaughter?" Old Master Mallory's eyes were wide. He was unsure what Old Master Crawford was up to. He looked up at Luca and wondered if he was referring to her.

'Isn't she involved with Luke? How could he take this woman as his goddaughter? Is it to cover up her and Luke's shady relationship?'

Luca was also stunned. 'Who's his goddaughter?'

Old Master Crawford said with a smile, "Yeah, my goddaughter... Mallory, you haven't heard? My goddaughter is Nina, the woman you're looking for. She became my goddaughter some time ago, but we've been busy. Nina is a low-key person, so I didn't tell the media about it. The Crawfords are the only ones that know. I didn't inform others."

"Nina is your goddaughter? Are you kidding me?" Old Master Mallory blew on his beard and thought that Old Master Crawford was making a fool of him.

"I'm not joking. You should go. If I find out that someone wants to hurt Nina, I won't hesitate to step in." Old Master Crawford's smile disappeared, and his expression was indifferent. Like Old Master Mallory, he was not one to be provoked.

"Crawford, are you going to stand in opposition to me?" Mallory stared at him coldly as he held his cane with both hands.

"You're the one picking a fight with the Crawfords. Mallory, take a look at your good grandson. He's done so many things that have violated the interests of the Crawfords and owes us a lot of explanations, yet you came to trouble the Crawfords. Does he think I'm dead? How dare he try to harm Nina and act out in front of me? Do you think that the Mallories are the only ones with influence in this city?" Old Master Crawford said harshly. He had no fear when faced with Old Master Mallory.

Pierre listened and could not help but interject, "Old Master Crawford, are you kidding me? Nina has done so many shameful things. How could you still take her as a goddaughter? Do you want the Crawfords to be pariahs in A City ?"

"It's all in the past. My goddaughter told me that she suffered because of Luke. It was horrible what she went through. She was never given a choice. The Crawfords owe it to her. I like how sweet she is, so I asked her to be my goddaughter. It's a form of compensation from the Crawfords to her. Besides, if one does something wrong, one must admit to it and make amends. It wasn't Luke who made the mistake, but he was involved in it. What he's doing is better than some immature kid who refuses to admit his mistakes and who avoids responsibility when he does something wrong." Old Master Crawford deliberately looked at Pierre as he said that.
