Chapter 2744 Margaret Sutton, You've Got A Real Knack For It!
"The project in Europe isn't a small project. They were interested in working with T Corporation for the design,
and they hope that Luke can be involved in this. But T Corporation has a busy schedule and they declined the
offer. | promised the client that | could make T Corporation work together withto get the design drawing.
That's why they gave the project to me," explained Lonnie as he noticed Louis and Yuri walking out of the house.
"Con. Let Louis make a referral." Lonnie urged his wife, who was so close with Susan that even Louis
addressed her as Aunt Margaret.
Hence, Louis could help to make a referral and arrange a meeting with Luke.
With Louis' help, Lonnie was confident that if he could talk with Luke, the project was bound to succeed.
Even if T Corporation was swamped with projects, they could spare stto help with the design drawing.
"Stop this nonsense!" Mrs. Jackman refused to do so. She shook his hand off.
"What's with the attitude?!" Lonnie thought she was mad at him and that was why she refused to pull the
strings. "If | lose money, your good life will be gone too!"
"Fine. I'll tell you the truth!" Mrs. Jackman scowled, realizing that they had attracted the attention of the people
around them. She pulled him and led him to a corner of the front yard.
Lonnie saw how reluctant she was. He had no choice but to promise her, "If you can helpmake a referral, I'll
dump that woman and never contact her again!"
Mrs. Jackman felt upset.
Previously, she had tried various ways to force Lonnie to break up with his mistress, but he had never shown any
intention of doing so.
Now, he promised her that he would dump his mistress for the sake of a design project. It was clear how much
profit this project could bring to the company. Otherwise, Lonnie would not have promised her that he would
dump that woman.
"It's not that | refuse to help, but there's no way I can help this time," explained Mrs. Jackman as her eyes
reddened.
If she had suppressed her emotions and not vented her anger on Luca on behalf
of Susan, perhaps Lonnie would really have been able to sever ties with his mistress. No one would be able to
interfere with their married life in the future, and Lonnie could elevate his business to new heights.

However, Mrs. Jackman regretted what she did. What she had done to Luca turned all possibilities into illusions...
"You're still mad at me!" Lonnie grumbled with annoyance. He had promised to do what she wanted most, but
she still disagreed to help him. She was petty and resentful indeed!
"Forget it. Lettell you the truth!" Mrs. Jackman had no choice but to reluctantly recount what had happened
in the backyard earlier. Her eyes were red and teary.
After Lonnie listened to her, he lifted his hand in frustration, but he put it down again helplessly.
There were too many people around. Lonnie suppressed the urge to slap her in the face. He clenched his teeth,
wishing that he could split open his wife's head to see what was in her mind and find out why she was so eager
to ruin the Jackman family.
"You, Margaret Sutton, you've got a real knack for it! How could you do such a thing? You're pulling the Jackman
family into the abyss with you!"
Margaret bit her lip and struggled to hold back her grievances. She murmured in a low voice, "Why are you
blaming me? It's all your fault. You've been keeping everything fromever since that wh*re showed up. You
don't even talk toabout the company's affairs anymore! If | had known about this project, would | have done
something to that woman?!"
"Fine. Fine. You're blaminginstead!" Lonnie took a deep breath as he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He
pointed at Margaret's face and said coldly, "You know what kind of situation the company is in now. Margaret,
you made this mess. You'd better figure out how to fix it. If the company shuts down because of you, | won't
spare you!"
His company had been struggling to survive because of the failed investment he made at the end of last year.
Lonnie only managed to get the project after he claimed that he had connections with the Crawford family,
hoping to use that to help the company overcits difficulties and earn a fortune.
However, Margaret had shattered that hope.
Lonnie stormed out, throwing his sleeves in anger.
Margaret watched him from behind. Her eyes reddened with tears streaming down her face. She stood there with
a blank look on her face, ignoring how the others looked at her.
Yuri noticed Lonnie storming away furiously and glanced at Margaret, who stood still. She nudged Louis' elbow.
"What's wrong?" Louis lifted a glass of red wine and took a sip of it. He was still upset and he needed the wine to
calm himself down. He feared that he would lose his manners in front of the guests.
"It seems like Mrs. Jackman and her husband had a falling out..." Yuri said in a soft tone and narrowed her eyes.
"She's crying."
"Don't meddle in their affairs," Louis warned Yuri to stay out of Mrs. Jackman's business.
Luke would handle it eventually.
Yuri's involvement would make no difference.
Margaret injured Luca. Luke would not sit there and do nothing.
Yuri withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Louis. She had never noticed how callous he could be, but she felt
that he was cold today.
He lacked sympathy, and he was cold and ruthless...
He was Luke's brother. If he pleaded for mercy for Margaret, Luke might not investigate the matter further, but
he refused to do so.
There must be a reason for this. It could be because he was mad at Susan.
Still, could anger alone turn someone into such a different person?

the crowd with a gentle Smile gms

She gathered her courage and prepared to approach him but was stopped by the maid. "Ms. Dunn, the madam is

"Where is she?" asked Yuri.

Besides, there was nothing urgent that Susan needed to tell her, except for the incident involving Margaret and
Luca earlier.
"Wait a minute," Yuri called out to the maid.

Perhaps they could leave before the police arrived and avoid being seen by others.
"Okay." The maid nodded and left.
Yuri approached Louis and held his arm with a smile as they greeted the guests.
"Why did the maid approach you?" Louis whispered to her during a lull in their conversation.
