Super Detective in the Fictional World Chapter 980 - Aurora’s Thoughts

Chapter 980: Aurora’s Thoughts

In the afternoon, Luke and Selina drove out separately.
Selina wasn’t interested in dealing with people like Mrs. Soderberg.
Besides, this wasn’t a case, and the other party wasn’t as rich as she was. It would be a waste of time for her to go, so she might as well go out and buy stuff for the villa.
Based on the address he received, Luke found a luxurious manor on the northeast side of New Jersey. After giving his name, he was quickly let in.
After parking the car in the garage, a maid took him to the main building.
After asking for his preference, the maid served him a cup of green tea and stood in a distant corner like an invisible person.
A few minutes later, Mrs. Soderberg came downstairs.
Even at home, this lady was still dressed magnificently, as if she were attending a banquet.
Admiration flashed in her eyes when she saw Luke.
At her level, handsome men were everywhere.
There were a lot of celebrities, male models, and rich family heirs, but not many of them were pleasing to the eye.
Luke was different from the handsome guys who made people’s hearts pound. The first impression he gave was that he was gentle, while his good looks came second. His temperament was even better than his looks.
Tony Stark was known for his looks, but Aurora didn’t like him.
He was too flamboyant and unsuitable for Lindsay.
That was right, Aurora had an eye on Luke not for herself, but for Lindsay.
Although this sister-in-law of the New York mayor didn’t have much experience in politics, she was very conscientious when it came to matchmaking. All of this was because of her daughter, Lindsay.
Ever since she met the homeless swindler named Monroe more than a year ago, there had been a huge falling out within their family.
It was as if her daughter, who had always been good and obedient, had become possessed as she became entangled with Monroe.
What was even worse was that Lindsay and Monroe had been grouped together by a few of those upper-class ladies who were Aurora’s “enemies.” They mocked her family’s poor taste, and mocked her daughter for actually liking an old and ugly man.
This greatly agitated Olaura.
Although there were a lot of people in America who had messy private lives, Lindsay was different.
Aurora had different expectations for her daughter.
Those women who relied on bedroom scandals, plastic faces and their bodies to become so-called socialites and upper-class ladies were nothing in Aurora’s eyes.
Lindsay was capable and strong enough to enter the political and business world and become a key figure in the future.
As long as she followed the plan, she would be able to take over the family business at the age of forty.
Or she could enter some department and become an important figure like her uncle, Michael Soderberg, to protect the family business.
By the time she was fifty or sixty, it wouldn’t be impossible for her to become the second female president in American history.
That last point was the biggest and most secret dream of Aurora’s. She had never mentioned it to anyone.
But in America, a woman had to be more cautious than a man if she wanted to enter influential circles.
If Lindsay wanted to go far on a steady path, she couldn’t leave behind a major stain from her youth.
Michelle Geber, the first female president, was from a minority background, and had a minor disability and cancer. She had also been slandered during her presidential campaign. When she became a mother at a young age, she had even been suspected of being part of a Russian “conspiracy,” and had been investigated repeatedly.
The reason why Aurora and her husband had reacted so strongly to the matter with Monroe was because Lindsay and Monroe hadn’t really done anything yet, and there was still a chance that Lndsay could be saved.
But after Luke’s “mediation,” both Lindsay and her parents calmed down a little.
After the father and daughter had a long talk yesterday, they finally cleared up some “misunderstandings” – that was what Lindsay thought.
On the other hand, Aurora had thought further.
She noticed that her daughter, Lindsay, treated Luke more normally.
It wasn’t out of politeness, but when Luke spoke, Lindsay actually didn’t flay him with retorts. Instead, she seriously considered Luke’s suggestion before she accepted it and “negotiated” with her family.
For Lindsay when she was feeling sensitive and tense, this was rare.
Aurora also realized that even when the young man hadn’t shown them much respect when speaking to them back then, she wasn’t disgusted by Luke at all.
As a woman with keen senses in this regard, she immediately had a new idea.
No matter what, she couldn’t accept someone like Monroe, but someone like Luke… seemed okay?
It wasn’t that she wanted her daughter to be “close” with Luke right now. It was just that it was better for her daughter to come in contact with a “normal” man like Luke first than with those inexplicable, egoistic artists.
She had also checked Luke’s record.
From the police files, this young man had a net worth of millions at such a young age. He didn’t have any stain on his record, he had a good reputation with both men and women, and his work attitude and abilities were outstanding.
This was enough.
It would only take the Soderbergs eight to ten years to groom a person who already had the capability and skills.
Of course, Luke was really too young.
Aurora had been a little surprised when she read that he was nineteen years old.
A nineteen-year-old detective who was worth millions that didn’t have anything to do with his family, and who was also even more outrageously capable than her own daughter?
After her brief shock, she still decided to go ahead with her plan.
After all, detectives could be considered part of the municipal department, and there were plenty of ways to get promoted; it was a much more stable and promising career than being an artist.
She wasn’t angry at Luke’s rejection last night. In fact, 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 his age.
There were plenty of family heirs that were more arrogant than Luke. In comparison, Luke’s attitude wasn’t bad at all.
So, she went to the police department this morning and started with his boss.
After talking to Luke on the phone, she knew that something had definitely gone wrong with the invitation yesterday.
Playing dirty tricks behind people’s backs was very common among the upper-class ladies in New York. She was all too familiar with it.
After calling the butler over and carefully verifying his words, Aurora understood that the butler had done something wrong.
The butler probably thought that Luke was a young man who was trying to curry favor with the Soderbergs, so he gave him the usual “reward” attitude, only to be rebuffed by Luke.
In response, Aurora simply fired the butler, who had just been promoted two months ago.
It was one thing for him to be rude, but for him to brush it off when she was questioning him, this sort of attitude after letting his position get to his head would easily get her family in trouble.
After all, he had already left a bad impression on Luke!
Luke didn’t know what Aurora was thinking. He simply stood up politely and greeted her when she came down, before she had him sit down again.
What was odd was that it had only been two days since he last saw her, and she seemed… very cordial toward him?
