"She's been getting a detective to tail Luca." Luke's expression turned cold. If it were not

for the fact that he needed Karen's assistance this time, he would have acted already.

"This woman, always stirring up trouble, just like..." Old Master Crawford paused for a

moment.

He initially wanted to say she was just like Allison Tanner.

However, Old Master Crawford eventually did not say it. Allison was Luke's mother, after

all. It was inappropriate to speak ill of her in front of him.

Previously, Luke had been troubled by Allison's affairs. Old Master Crawford even envied

Old Master Mallory for having a good daughter-in-law.

Karen used to be a capable woman. She had a hand in managing Mallory Corporation.

However, it seemed like Karen was heading farther down a self-destructive path now.

If Luke were to really confront her, the two of them would already be sitting in Mallory

Manor's living room by now.

"Forget it. It'll be fine as long as you can handle this matter. Matters of the heart are

important, but the company's affairs are important as well. You've been managing the

company for all these years, putting in a lot of effort. It's important to give it due

attention."

Even though Old Master Crawford felt sorry for Luke's bumpy romantic journey, Luke also

had a conglomerate to lead.

However, he believed that Luke could handle it well.

The most difficult time was when Bianca got kidnapped. Luke did not neglect the

company's management even during his search for Luca. He managed both without delay.

"Yes," Luke understood what Master Crawford meant.

If Luke did not manage T Corporation, thousands or even tens of thousands of people

would lose their jobs due to his negligence.

This was no longer just a matter of the Crawford family alone. It concerned many families.

Hence, while dealing with Luca's situation, he also had to manage the company.

"By the way, have you heard any news about your mother?" asked Old Master Crawford.

Luke nodded. He had been keeping himself updated on Allison's situation in Seoul through

the interpreter he had arranged for her.

Allison had undergone surgery. The wrinkles on her face had slightly improved, but she

still looked different from a normal person.

Allison refused to accept the result and planned to undergo a second plastic surgery in

Seoul.

"Is she still receiving treatment in Seoul?" asked Old Master Crawford. Thinking about how

Allison had never helped Luke with anything in his life but instead caused trouble, he now

regretted his decision.

He should not have let her step into the Crawford family.

Previously, considering the circumstances of the Crawford family and the social

environment, Old Master Crawford could have taken Luke back to raise him. He could have

let Allison continue her life outside without any ties to the Crawford family.

At that time, he was soft-hearted and also thought that Susan would not accept Luke. If

Alison was not with her child, the child might truly suffer.

Moreover, a child needed a mother's care. Considering all these factors, he eventually

agreed to let Allison join the Crawford family.

Little did he know that Allison would only cause trouble for Luke and make no

contributions.

"Yes, she's going for a second surgery." Luke nodded. He could afford the cost of the

surgery.

If it were not for Allison causing so much trouble when she returned previously, Luke

would not have been so strict with her finances. As long as she was willing to stay in Seoul

for treatment and not come back to disturb the Crawford family, he did not mind spending

a little extra money.

“Alright, it's a critical period for you now as well. Staying abroad will keep her from causing

more trouble for you," said Old Master Crawford. Despite being family for decades, he

refused to face Allison's terrifying face every day.

Old Master Crawford then asked, "By the way, is the government preparing for the bidding

process?"

Even though he was not involved in business matters, he was keeping an eye on some of

the city's economic development plans. He knew about the suburban development.

"Yes, we're getting ready to start." Luke nodded, not hiding anything. "I'll make sure to

handle the gossip news before the announcement is made."

"Good. That's the way to do it to avoid any issues," replied Old Master Crawford.

After all, no one knew that Luca's true identity was Bianca.

If Luke admitted that there was something going on between him and Luca, and if the

relevant department chose T Corporation's bid, they might offend Jack.

This could lead to some consequences.

As the grandfather and grandson were chatting, Mr. Griffin, who was outside the study,

suddenly knocked on the door. He said, "Old Master Crawford, Madam is back and says

she'd like to have a word with you."

Susan strongly resisted the idea of there being two wives in the Crawford family.

Hence, when Allison was not at home, the butler and the maids had to address Susan as

'Madam' rather than 'Madam Susan'.

Old Master Crawford furrowed his brows unhappily when he heard Susan had come home.

"Didn't she just come back over the weekend? What's she doing back now?"

Even though Mr. Griffin mentioned that she had something to discuss with Old Master

Crawford, he did not expect anything positive to come out of it.

He shot a glance at Luke.

Luke rose to his feet and said, "Grandpa, it's getting late. I should head back."

"Stay for dinner," Old Master Crawford did not ask but stated.

Luke had no choice but to agree to stay for dinner.

The grandfather and grandson exited the study one after the other.

Old Master Crawford asked Mr. Griffin, "Where is she?"

"Madam is in the downstairs living room," replied Mr. Griffin.

Old Master Crawford impatiently remarked, "Such a busybody. She comes back for any

reason she can find. She's moved out, but she still brings so much trouble."

Mr. Griffin lowered his head and remained silent.

Old Master Crawford did not like it when it was noisy and loud. Why should the house be

so crowded and noisy when it was not even a special occasion or holiday?

Moreover, Susan's return did not bring any excitement.

Old Master Crawford instructed, "Inform the kitchen to prepare dinner."

"Yes, Old Master Crawford." Mr. Griffin nodded, then turned to look at Luke. "Master Luke,

will you be dining here tonight as well?"

"Yes, I'll have dinner with Grandpa,” replied Luke. He realized that he had been so busy

lately and had not spent much time at Crawford Manor, let alone having meals with Old

Master Crawford.

"Even though you've moved out, both you and Louis should come back more often to have

meals with me." Old Master Crawford sighed as he made his way downstairs.

He treated both his grandsons equally and hoped they would spend more time with him.

As for his two daughters-in-law...

His attitude toward both of them was pretty much the same. He just hoped these two

daughters-in-law would bother him a little less.

Susan was in the living room and overheard what Old Master Crawford had said. If the old

master had not also mentioned Louis, she would have certainly been displeased again.

When she saw Old Master Crawford coming downstairs, she stood up with a cheerful smile

and said, "Father, I'm back."

"You were here just this weekend. What brings you back again? Isn't it inappropriate to

leave Thea alone at home at this time?" Old Master Crawford did not have a particularly

warm attitude toward her. In fact, there was even a hint of disapproval.

Susan lowered her gaze. A trace of resentment flashed across her eyes.

Did he think she enjoyed running back and forth like this? If it were not for the maid from

Crawford Manor informing her that Luke had come over, she would not have rushed back

like this.

"Father, I just wanted to chat with you. That's why I came back. Besides, Thea has a nanny

looking after her, and Yuri finished work early today..." As she looked up, the dark cloud in

her eyes had already faded away.
