Chapter 3158 Am I That Scary?
Louis and Susan had to meet face-to-face before they could start discussing and ultimately reach a resolution.
Only then could this matter be resolved.
This issue was caused by Old Master Crawford, and it was not a problem for him to suffer a bit.
However, Old Master Crawford has been enduring this for quite stnow, to the point where it was almost unbearable.
It was also Luke's duty to resolve this issue for him.
Luca's proposal of a barbecue was indeed a good opportunity.
Luke added, "This matter was caused by Grandpa. He had someone pretend to be from another company to negotiate the acquisition with Louis. It just so happened that Mother heard about it and caused a scene. This matter should also cto a resolution now."
Luca was slightly surprised that it was Old Master Crawford who caused it!
Still, what surprised her even more was that Susan could not reach Louis. Thus, she went to see Old Master Crawford every day...
Imagining this scene, Luca could figure out the situation.
Given Susan's personality, she was surely racking her brain and trying every trick in the book to extract Louis' location from Old Master Crawford.
"So, how do you plan to inform Madam Crawford?" asked Luca. She agreed to his approach.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIndeed, it was not a solution for the mother and son to stay at odds like this...
"Let Aunt Neile go." Luke planned to let Aunt Neile inform the maid next door so that Susan knew Louis would be here this Saturday night.
Once the maid next door knew, Susan would definitely know too.
"Hmm, that works." Luca was in complete agreement with Luke. She understood the implication behind his words and also supported his idea.
After Luca knew why Luke invited Louis, she returned to the study to attend to her own matters.
Inside the villa, there was a profound sense of tranquility.
On the other hand, in the exclusive VIP room of the Bibbier's Tale, Gale was having quite a headache.
"Gordan, we agreed to have dinner. How did dinner turn into drinking?" Gale looked at Gordan, who was holding a bottle of wine. Gale was puzzled.
They were supposed to grab a meal, but it had now turned into a drinking spree. Gordan ended up drinking most of the booze.
He figured that in two hours, he would have to drag a drunkard home.
"Isn't this food?" Gordan slightly narrowed his pretty eyes, pointing at the food on the coffee table.
Gale widened his eyes and reminded him, "Are you sure this counts?" "Appetizers are still food, you know. What, you look down on the drinks I ordered? Lettell you, the money I spent on these drinks could've bought ten seafood feasts." Gordan pointed at the bottles on the table while letting out a belch.
"Plus, don't you enjoy drinking too? You're always looking forward to sipping on the wine from Luke's collection. While my selection may not be at the level of collectibles yet, they're all premium wines!" "I
do love a good drink, but I don't guzzle it down like water. If you keep this up, I won't show up when you callanymore." Gale rubbed his stomach. He was starving!
Appetizers might be food, but they could not satisfy one's hunger.
Gordan rolled his eyes at him. "You're such a lightweight. You need a full stomach to handle your booze, don't you?" "Yeah, I'm hungry. I'm not picky right now. Just geta meal and letfill up first. Then we'll talk!" Gale nodded.
"Just a moment!" Gordan pressed the bell.
Soon after, a waitress walked in. She glanced at Gale, then at Gordan. She asked in a sweet voice, "May I help you?" "My friend is hungry. Get him a deluxe seafood feast to go, the most lavish one. Take this money and hurry up." Gordan pulled out a stack of bills from his wallet and handed it to the waitress.
The waitress hesitated for a moment. While their bar did offer takeout service, the amount of money Gordan gave was too much!
When Gordan saw the waitress hesitating, he frowned and asked, "Why are you still dawdling here? Get a move on. Get the most extravagant option and use up all this cash!"
The waitress wanted to say that it was not a problem to spend the money, but where could they find such a luxurious seafood feast at this hour?
Even the most expensive dishes at regular restaurants would not cost this much, and the seafood market was closed. Even if they went there now, they would not be able to find things like lobsters.
Gale noticed that the waitress wore a troubled expression and intervened," Don't mind him. Just get me slobster rolls." "But what about the money..." The most expensive lobster roll would only cost a
couple of bills. She looked at Gordan, unsure if he was on the verge of getting drunk. She was certain he would not take the money, so she glanced at Gale, hoping that he could offer a solution.
"Give it to me," said Gale.
The waitress immediately handed him the money, swift as though passing a hot potato. Gale pulled out a hundred dollars and handed it to her. "You can getone portion, and the rest is your tip." "Thank you, sir!" The waitress thanked him, took the cash, and hurried out.
She did not expect to receive so much tip just for helping with a takeout order!
After the waitress left, Gale returned Gordan's money to his wallet.

"Am I that scary?" Gordon asked in a helpless tone.
"Well, you kind of are," said Gale. He took a sip of his drink. "What task did you recently pick up that's making you so generous?" "Hey, I'm just loaded. Even without any gigs, I've got cash." Gordan raised his glass, inviting a toast.
Gale clinked glasses with him. "Alright. You're loaded. You're the man. But seriously, why the drinking? Something going on?" "Isn't drinking whenever you want the whole point of booze?" replied Gordan as a hint of gloom flashed across his eyes.
Gale caught his expression clearly. "If everything's fine, why are you drinking like this? It's obvious you're drowning your sorrows in alcohol. Con, spill the beans. Drinking alone is just boring
otherwise." "There's not much to talk about. Hey, any plans or events happening lately? Or anything I can get in on? It's just too boring here." Gordan remembered what Vivian had told him.
He thought he needed to keep himself busy.
Otherwise, he would keep thinking about that woman...
It was driving him crazy!
Gordon did not understand what was happening to him. He even suspected that Vivian had put a curse on him or something back then because whenever he was alone, he would think of her ugly face!
It was not just when he had nothing to do. He even dreamed about her.
All of this left Gordan feeling speechless.
"There's nothing you need to help with right now, but there is an event coming up. There's a barbecue party at Boss' place tomorrow. Are you interested in joining?" Gale recalled Luca's invitation today.
Since Luca invited him, Gordan could probably join too, right?
"What's so great about a barbecue?" Gordan seemed unenthusiastic. He thought that it was something only women and kids enjoyed.
"Many people will be there, and Boss will surely share sof his prized wine. There'll be food, drinks, and friends. What's not to like? Are you going or not?" Gale felt that Gordan was acting strangely.
He might need to socialize with others to feel normal again.
