In the afternoon, Luke and Selina drove out separately.
Selina wasn't interested in dealing with someone like Mrs. Soderberg.
Also, this wasn't a case, and the other party wasn't as rich as she was. It would be a waste of time if she went. She might as well go buy things for the villa.
Luke found a luxurious manor in the northeast of New Jersey according to the address. After giving his name, he was quickly let in.
After parking the car in the garage, he was taken to the main building by a servant.
After asking for his opinion, the servant gave him a cup of green tea and stood in a distant corner as if he were invisible.
A few minutes later, Aurora came down from upstairs.
Even at home, this lady was still dressed dazzlingly, as if she was going to a banquet.
When she saw Luke, admiration flashed in her eyes.
At her level, handsome men could be seen everywhere.
There were plenty of celebrities, male models, and second-generation heirs with outstanding looks and temperament, but not many of them were pleasing to the eye.
Luke was different from those overly handsome guys who could make a person's heart pound at first glance. The first impression he gave people was that he was peaceful, followed by his handsomeness. His temperament was even better than his looks.
Tony Stark was publicly acknowledged to be handsome, but Aurora didn't like him from the bottom of her heart.
He was too flamboyant and didn't suit Lindsay.
That was right. Aurora didn't like Luke because of herself, but because of Lindsay.
Although the sister-in-law of the mayor of New York didn't have much talent in politics, she was very good at matching men and women. It was all because of her daughter, Lindsay.
Ever since Lindsay met that tramp and swindler called Monroe more than a year ago, she had been at odds with her family.
Her daughter, who used to be obedient, seemed to be possessed as she became entangled with that Monroe.
What was even worse was that Lindsay and Monroe had been put together by a few noblewomen who were Aurora's "enemies." They mocked her family's poor aesthetic standards and that her daughter actually liked an old and ugly man.
This was a huge blow to Aurora.
Although there were a lot of so-called "socialites" in America who had messy private lives, Lindsay was different.
Aurora's expectations of her daughter were also different.
The women who became the so-called socialites and noble ladies by hyping up their own bedside news and artificial facial features were not worth mentioning in O'Laura's mind.
Lindsay had the ability and strength to enter the political and business worlds and become an influential figure of the future.
As long as she followed the prescribed path, she would be able to take over her family business at the age of forty.
Or she could enter some department and become a big shot like her uncle, Michael Soderberg, to protect her family's business.
When she was 50 or 60 years old, it was not impossible for her to become the second female president in the history of the United States.
The last point was O 'Laura's deepest dream, which she had never mentioned to anyone.
But in the United States, a woman had to be more cautious than a man if she wanted to enter the ranks of power.
If Lindsay wanted to go far and be secure, she couldn't leave a major blemish on her youth.
Michelle Gable, the first female president, was a minority, slightly disabled, and a cancer patient. When she ran for president, she had been slandered countless times. Even the child she had given birth at a young age was suspected to be a "plot" by the Russians to control her, and she had been repeatedly investigated.
Aurora and her husband had reacted so fiercely on the matter with Monroe because Lindsay and Monroe hadn't really killed anyone yet, and there was still a chance that they could salvage the situation.
But after Luke's "mediation," both Lindsay and them had calmed down a little.
After their long talk yesterday, everyone had finally resolved some of the "misunderstandings." This was just what Lindsay thought.
Aurora, on the other hand, was thinking more long-term.
She noticed that Lindsay's attitude toward Luke was more normal.
It wasn't that she was polite, but that Lindsay hadn't refuted Luke's words to pieces. Instead, after serious consideration, she had accepted his suggestion and "negotiated" with her family.
This was very rare for Lindsay, who was in a sensitive and nervous state.
Aurora also realized that even though the young man hadn't given them much face back then, she didn't dislike Luke at all.
As a woman with sharp senses in this aspect, O'Laura had a new idea at once.
No matter what, she couldn't accept someone like Monroe, but someone like Luke … seemed to be able to?
It wasn't that she wanted her daughter to have a "close" relationship with Luke right now; she just wanted her daughter to get to know a "normal" man like Luke first, which was better than hanging out with those inexplicable, self-righteous artists.
She had also gotten someone to look at Luke's file.
According to the police department's files, this young man had a clean net worth of millions at a young age. There was no stain on his history, and he had a good relationship with both men and women. His work attitude and ability were outstanding.
Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Còm
That was enough.
If a person was capable and capable, it would only take the Soderberg family eight to ten years to prop him up.
Of course, Luke was too young.
O'Laura was a little surprised to see that she was 19 years old.
A 19-year-old detective with a net worth of a few million, and he didn't even rely on his family's connections. His ability seemed to be even more exaggerated than his daughter's?
After a brief moment of surprise, she chose to stick to the plan.
After all, detectives could barely be considered a municipal department, and there were many promotion paths. Their "future" was much more stable and promising than that of an artist.
She wasn't angry at Luke's rejection last night. Instead, she was even more interested.
Playing hard to get? That was impossible.
It was normal for a capable and rich boy to be arrogant at this age.
Among the second-generation scions that O'Laura knew, there were plenty who were more arrogant than Luke. Luke's attitude wasn't bad at all.
Thus, she went to the police department that morning and started with his boss.
After talking to Luke on the phone, she knew that there had to be something wrong with the dinner invitation last night.
It was common for New York ladies to play dirty tricks behind people's backs. She was all too familiar with it.
Calling in the steward, and ascertaining his statement, O'Laura saw that the steward had done wrong.
The butler had probably thought that Luke was one of those youngsters who were trying to curry favor with the Soderberg family, and had put on the usual "reward" posture, only to be rebuked by Luke.
In response, O'Laura simply fired the butler, who had just been promoted two months ago.
Not only had he lost his sense of propriety, he had even tried to brush off her interrogation. This kind of arrogant person would easily cause trouble for her family.
Now, he had left a bad impression on Luke!
Luke didn't know what O'Laura was thinking. He simply stood up politely when O'Laura came down and greeted her. She immediately invited him to sit down.
What he found strange was that it had only been two days since they last met, but O'Laura seemed to be very … friendly toward him?
