Luca's gaze slightly lowered, and suddenly she remembered the words Susan said to her while she was drunk at the time Luke brought her back to Crawford Manor.

She thought they were heartfelt, but in reality, they were quite awkward.

Now, here she was in yet another awkward situation. Even though Susan had changed her tone, Luca could not help but recall the past and found it as awkward as before.

Susan noticed that Luca did not say anything. She thought her words had struck a chord. Therefore, she changed her approach, putting on the expression of a wise elder. She said with sincerity, "You're beautiful, talented, and young. What kind of man can't you find?"

Luca blinked her eyes. Was she actually complimenting her?

If Susan was truly complimenting her, it was as likely as seeing pigs fly.

Luca lifted her head and put on a pitiful expression on her face. She did not understand why Luke had not come down yet. Since she let Susan in, it was up to her to resolve this issue now. "Madam Crawford, you're absolutely right. I know I'm exceptional, but I've realized that with someone as outstanding as me, I must find a man better than me. That's why I decided to be with Luke."

Susan was rendered speechless for a moment. What nonsense was she talking about?

After praising her a couple of times for being outstanding, did she actually consider herself an outstanding person? Did she have no shame?

Suppressing her urge to mock, Susan continued persuading, "There are plenty of good men in the world. I heard you're from Russia. Aren't there many successful businessmen in Russia?

"You can easily leave Luke and become someone's legitimate wife instead of a mistress. Besides, Luke truly loves Bianca. Perhaps his lapse in judgment is due to his loneliness while Bianca is away. When Bianca returns, you... Sigh."

Luca sat up straight while listening to her, pretending to hesitate for a moment. However, her tone carried a sense of determination.

"But the more I'm with Luke, the more I sink into it. Madam Crawford, I truly love him. I can stand behind him for a lifetime, even if I'm not acknowledged or known. It doesn't matter as long as I'm by his side, because I love him." Luca intentionally said these to provoke Susan.

However, what she said was the truth as well.
