Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 3323 Don't Even Think About Stirring Up Trouble

After the kids washed their hands, they followed Luca into the dining room.

Everyone else was already seated.

Luca sat next to Luke, and after the three kids took their seats, Mr. Griffin and the maids brought out the food.

By the time dinner was over, it was getting late. Just as Luke was thinking about taking the kids home, Susan spoke up, "Luke, I didn't want to ask you during dinner, but now that we've eaten, there's something I need to ask." "Yes?" Luke sat back down on the couch, his gaze fixed on her.

The air around him was so intense that Susan almost wanted to flee.

However, as his elder, she could not back down now. Since she had something to say, she forced herself to withstand the pressure and spoke up, "I've been hearing rumors that your mother hurt someone in Seoul and now plans to return to A City. Is that true?"

Luke raised an eyebrow and glanced around the room.

He had only just learned about this, yet Susan already knew? It seemed like she had people keeping tabs on the family.

It was known that Old Master Crawford hated it when people used underhanded methods to spy on his life, but Susan was willing to play that card to dig up information about Allison.

Once Luke looked into it, he would easily figure out who had leaked the news to her. Whoever did it would not meet a good end.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

"Is she really planning to return to A City?" Susan pressed.

"Yes," admitted Luke.

Susan let out a cold sneer, "How could she have the nerve to come back now? Doesn't she think we've been humiliated enough?

Luke stayed silent.

Allison's stay abroad had benefited not only him but also Susan. There was no one to challenge her position as the madam of the Crawford family.

However, it seemed she had forgotten that given Allison's current state, she was not in any shape to compete for that role anyway.

Luke did not see her as a threat to Susan.

Susan simply disliked Allison and did not want her to return.

"I can't stop her." Luke understood her point, but he knew there was nothing he could do.

"What do you mean you can't stop her? You're her son, aren't you? As they say, when parents are old, they listen to their children. You've been supporting her all these years. She should obey you. If you don't let her return, she won't."

Susan was well aware of his influence. Keeping Allison out of the country would be a simple matter for him.

Old Master Crawford had been quietly sipping his tea, initially not intending to involve himself in the conversation. After all, Allison's return was already set in stone. No matter what Susan said to Luke, it would not change anything.

However, as he listened to her string of arguments, it made him frown in disapproval.

Back when Luke was young, she never bothered to teach him anything. Now, she was suddenly full of reason and logic?

Old Master Crawford put down his tea and said, "If you're so keen on parents listening to their children, why don't you listen to Louis? You pushed him out of the house, didn't you? Where's your obedience in that?"

"Father, my situation is completely different from Luke's," replied Susan, growing more agitated at the mention of Louis' name.

Louis had been refusing to move back home until now.

Even though she knew where he lived, the security in that neighborhood was so strict that she could not get in. Every time she tried to visit, Louis would not let her in. When she argued with the security at the gate, they treated her like a nuisance.

By now, all the guards there knew who she was, but she still had not been able to get in.

Just thinking about it made her furious.

"How is it any different? Do you think I don't know what's going on with you? You tried to get into that neighborhood again yesterday, didn't you? And the security blocked you, so you threw a fit right there, didn't you?" Old Master Crawford did not intend to make a big deal of it.

After all, her little tantrum at the gate did not affect the Crawford family much. She claimed to be Louis' mother, but no one believed her.

"You..." Susan was surprised. She intentionally did not use the family driver and had not told the maid where she was going, so how did he know?

Did Old Master Crawford really have someone following her?

The thought made her shiver. If that was the case, did she have any privacy left?

"Since you believe parents should listen to their children, Louis wants you to stay in the villa and enjoy yourself. So, stop with all this fussing," added Old Master Crawford. "That's what Louis wants. He doesn't need your help with the kids. Just relax and enjoy life."

Then, he turned to Luke and Luca. The frustration on his face shifted into a warm, caring expression. "It's getting late. The kids have school tomorrow. You all should head home."

"Yes, Grandpa." Luke nodded. With the old master stepping in, Susan did not dare push the issue further.

As they got up to leave, she suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

Luke frowned and looked at her.

"Since you're leaving, why don't you give me a ride home? It's late, and I don't feel like driving," said Susan, hoping to use the ride to get some information out of him.

Tommy suddenly chimed in, "Grandma Susan, there's no room in our car."

Susan was stunned for a moment. It was a five-seater car, and they did have five people.

Still, the kids did not take up much space.

"If you don't want to drive, you can have Uncle Zander send you home. Goodbye, Great-Grandpa, Grandma Susan!" Tommy waved cheerfully before she could suggest squeezing in.

Susan did not even get a chance to respond. Tommy's words completely shut her down.

She could not ride with Luke, and she did not know the full details about Allison. She was not about to leave so easily.

She glanced over at Old Master Crawford.

He met her gaze, stifled a yawn, and rose to his feet. "If you don't want to drive, have Zander send you. It's late. I'm heading to bed."

"Father, are you really going to let Luke handle this Allison situation however he wants?" Susan was not ready to let the matter drop.

Old Master Crawford frowned in irritation. "This has nothing to do with you, so stop meddling."

"How could it not be of my concern? Allison still carries the Crawford family's name. If she causes trouble, it'll bring shame to the family. She can't be allowed to come back and stir things up!" insisted Susan. In her mind, the position of the madam of the Crawford family belonged to her alone.

Even if she did not live in Crawford Manor, she could not let Allison return and take half the spotlight.

Old Master Crawford paused for a moment, then sternly rebuked, "You keep saying that you're doing this for the family, but do you think I don't know what's really on your mind?"

Susan's eyes widened. "Of course, I'm doing this for the family!"

"If it's truly for the family, then Allison must come back. Don't worry about the costs. Luke has already said that none of the Crawford family's or T Corporation's funds will be used."

Old Master Crawford issued his final warning, "You're living a comfortable life now, so don't even think about stirring up trouble."
