Luke helped Luca to dress her wound without saying anything.

Louis turned to Luca and asked for confirmation, "Dr. Craw, is it true?"

"Yes." Luca looked down. Louis was Susan's son. Luca showed him respect and chose not to report it to the police. Still, she felt that Louis deserved to know the truth.

"Louis," Luke called out to him.

"Brother, we have to call the police," said Louis. He could not be bothered that Susan was involved in this.

Louis felt guilty about the incident earlier, and with the situation Luca was in now, there was no way he could ignore it. He felt that he had to give Luca an explanation.

"Not now," replied Luke. Considering the numerous guests who came, it would make Louis and the Crawford family look bad if the police came.

"I'll feel bad if I don't hand this over to the police," said Louis, insisting on it.

Susan and her friends actually embarrassed Luca on such an occasion. Luca was on Luke's side. There was no doubt that she was slapping Luke's face.

There was no way Louis could tolerate this.

“Is your phone connected to the villa's surveillance system?" asked Luke.

"Yes. Why?" Louis picked up his phone and opened the app. He had the monitoring software installed on his phone when he asked someone to install the surveillance cameras outside the villa.

"Send me the surveillance footage of the camera that's recording the pavilion in the backyard," instructed Luke.

Louis immediately understood that it was not that Luke was letting it slide. Instead, he was planning to investigate the matter after this.

Louis found the surveillance footage and fast-forwarded it to the part where Mrs. Jackman threw the teapot at Luca. He pursed his lips and saved the footage. Then, he sent it to Luke and said, "Luke, I've sent the footage to you."

"Alright." Luke was still carefully applying the burn ointment to Luca's wound. "Does it hurt?" asked Luke.
