"It's okay," replied Luca. Luca and the maid proceeded to serve breakfast on the table. She then took her seat where she waited for her kids to finish their morning routine.

Upstairs, Aunt Neile had delivered breakfast to Luke's bedroom and awoken the kids. After, she reminded them that they would be going to Crawford manor today before she then made her way downstairs.

“Ms. Craw, the kids are packing their stuff now. They'll be coming down soon,” reported Aunt Neile. The kids did not say much about their return to Crawford manor, but they made sure to pack their homework, stationery, and textbooks before heading out.

Everything else they needed was already available at Crawford manor.

Luke had made sure to ready the kids' uniforms and other essentials at Crawford manor in hopes that it would make their move easier. Therefore, the kids did not have to bring many things along with them.

"Okay," nodded Luca. She then picked up the newspaper while waiting for the kids to join her for breakfast.

Today's headline of the A City newspaper was about Mrs. Margaret Jackman, who was arrested by the police for assault.

Luca quickly read through the article and let out a sigh of relief.

It did not mention Luke's or her name, and it only stated that Mrs. Jackman had been arrested for injuring someone. The evidence of the assault was conclusive, which led to her arrest. The police did not disclose the details of the offense, and the reporters could not get any further information.

Plastered on the front page was a photo of a police officer arresting Margaret at her house.

Luca realized that this was not something the press would have covered unless someone had tipped them off.

Given the photo taken, it was obvious that that what had happened.

Someone wanted Mrs. Jackman to face a more severe punishment than just a few days of detention. That was why the reporters were told in advance to wait outside her house before the police arrived.

Luca suspected that it was Luke's arrangement. After all, no one else could have known when the police would have showed up at the Jackman's residence.
