"What happened? Tell me about it," Susan asked quickly. She did not intend to let go of anything she could use
against Luke because this might be the evidence she needed to bring him down and make Louis come to power in
the future.
"Tell you? Are you able to tell him off?" Madam Mallory wondered. After all, Susan was not Luke's biological mother.
"Why not? No matter what, I'm still his mother. When Allison doesn't know how to educate her son, I'm the one who
steps forward," Susan said.
Madam Mallory nodded. No matter what, Susan was the legal wife of Zachary Crawford.
Even though his biological mother was around, Luke still addressed Susan as 'Mother.'
"Doesn't Luke already have a wife? I found out that he's very close to Luca Craw and there's a high chance that
they're living together," Madam Mallory said. She did not mention what had happened the day prior.
After all, she impulsively wanted to kidnap Luca. It was illegal, so she did not want to say anything about it.
When Susan heard that, she lost interest. "Luca Craw? It's not news that they're close. Luca has won the hearts of
the three children. If you say that they're living together, that's possible... But there's nothing anyone can do about
this matter, not me nor Old Master Crawford. We can't be involved."
"Old Master Crawford doesn't care? How is that possible?" Madam Mallory was surprised. She only spoke about this
so that Allison or Susan would know about it and relay the news to Old Master Crawford. Her goal was for them to
restrain Luke.
She was clear that out of everyone in the Crawford family, only Old Master Crawford could do something about
Luke.
"Why not? Let me tell you, Luke moved out with the kids, and Old Master Crawford agreed to it. His agreement says
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteverything. Old Master Crawford is not stupid. When they moved out, he must have investigated everything and
knew that Luke might live with Luca. Even so, he still agreed. This matter is not a secret in the Crawford family."
Susan took a sip of tea and suddenly lost interest in the conversation.
She once wanted to win over Luca but was turned down, so Susan had no other means to go about it.
"This is ridiculous!" Madam Mallory could not believe that Old Master Crawford had given his agreement for Luke to
move in with Luca.
'Is he not afraid that the reputation of the Crawford family will be ruined if the reporters find out about it?'
The reason why Madam Mallory did not get the reporters involved but instead went to the Crawford family to
inform them was that she did not want to make a big deal out of it. To some extent, the fate of the Crawford and
Mallory families was interrelated.
Therefore, when it was not absolutely necessary, she did not want the Crawford family to be involved in a scandal.
"This family is crazy. Since that woman got out of prison, it's gotten even crazier." Susan could not help
complaining. She knew that Madam Mallory wanted the Crawford family to control Luke, so she thought of a way to
go about it.
"How can we let Luke be like this? What about his wife who's abroad? If that woman sticks around, won't he just be
like his father?" Madam Mallory rambled and mentioned the Crawford family's playboy, Zachary Crawford.
Susan's mood sank.
Madam Mallory pursed her lips and realized she had said something wrong. She touched Susan's hand and said,
"Sorry, I didn't mean to mention him."
"It doesn't matter. He's been gone for so long. I'm somewhat glad that he only had Allison. If there were two more, I
won't be able to stay in this home any longer." Susan felt hatred in her heart, but she could not show it. Hence, she
acted generously.
Madam Mallory took a sip of tea. Seeing that she had not achieved any purpose in her visit today, she did not want
to waste any more of her time. After all, the mess left behind by Pierre had her occupied.
"Forget it. I just wanted to remind you but it seems that all of you already know about it. Although it's absurd, the
entire Crawford family is in Luke's hands now. None of you seem to be able to do anything, so I won't bother you
any longer." She stood up. She intended to put pressure on Luke but did not expect that the Crawford family was in
a situation as such.
Although they seemed to be doing better than the Mallory family, if this piece of news exploded, they would have
their hands full as well.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Susan hurriedly held her back. "Although the Crawford family can't deal with
this matter, I know people who can."
As soon as Madam Mallory heard that, she sat on the sofa again and quickly asked, "Who?"
"The Norman family." Susan reminded her. She had hinted to Queenie once before and Queenie had reacted with
surprise then. When she was sitting and waiting for the drama to unfold, the matter was over before she knew it.
Nothing happened.
Seeing that her plan failed, she could not continue to remind or encourage Queenie to find trouble with Luke and
Luca.
That was because it would make her ulterior motives obvious.
After all, she was still Luke's mother. If anyone found out what she was planning, she would be digging a grave for
herself. If Old Master Crawford found out, it was inevitable that she would be criticized for it.
"The Norman family? Jack norman?" Madam Mallory remembered that Luke's wife was Jack's long-lost biological
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdaughter.
"Queenie has always felt guilty about her long-lost daughter. It's a pity that they don't know what Luke is doing
behind their backs." Susan took a sip of her tea. Her hints could not be more obvious.
Madam Mallory nodded thoughtfully.
If she told Queenie about this, she would not stay out of it from what Madam Mallory knew about her.
"By the way, don't tell others that I told you that. Old Master Crawford doesn't like it when I cause trouble. Last
time, I didn't hint at Queenie hard enough, so it didn't work. Luke has been bewitched. If it's for the good of Luke,
you can try doing something about it. After all, Luca Craw is not as unassuming as she seems." Susan was worried
that Madam Mallory would not take action if her hatred for Luca was not strong enough, so she deliberately
phrased her words in a certain way to increase their effectiveness on Madam Mallory.
Madam Mallory gritted her teeth and said, "I know that there's more to that woman that meets the eye. Otherwise,
how could Luke, who has always been wise, be bewitched by her?"
Susan secretly rejoiced. If Madam Mallory went to look for Queenie, there was sure to be drama.
Old Master Crawford did not care about what Luke was up to because he knew that Luke did things properly and
would not cause the Crawford family to lose face.
However, Queenie was different.
This time, she would be more vigilant if someone who had nothing to do with the Crawford family went to her.
Susan was certain that Queenie would go to Luke to ask him what was going on.
Although it may not be possible to separate Luke and Luca, it was not bad to be able to cause some trouble for him.
She wanted to take revenge on that pair of mother and son for hindering her for more than 30 years.
Madam Mallory made an excuse to leave after she got a solution.
Susan sat on the sofa and looked at the maid who was cleaning up the table. Her gaze sank.
