After Susan had slightly calmed down, she decided to call Louis. However, she found out
after dialing the number that Louis had actually blocked her.
Susan had no choice but to contact Yuri instead.
Yuri described their current situation vaguely, refusing to disclose where they were
currently residing.
Intrigued by the secrecy, Susan wanted to investigate further. She learned that the day
after another family conflict erupted, Louis and his family did not stay at the Dunn family's
place through the butler of the Dunn family.
As for where they moved to, even the Dunn family's butler was clueless. He even asked
Susan in astonishment if Louis and his family had not gone back home.
Susan was unsure how to respond at that moment.
None of them had returned to the residence, and the spacious villa was now occupied only
by her and a maid.
Therefore, Susan came to the conclusion that Louis' family might be living in Crawford
Manor.
That was why Susan came over. It was quite ironic that, as a mother, she did not even
know where her son's family was currently living.
She was aware that Louis had sold all his properties for investments, so finding a suitable
rental was unlikely in the short term. Therefore, the most likely scenario was that they
were either living in Crawford Manor or here with Luke.
Susan had already inquired with the maid at Crawford Manor. Louis had visited, but he did
not stay overnight.
That left only Luke's place as a possibility.
However, Susan was doubtful that Louis planned to reside here permanently. She came
here to find out where Louis was living.

show you to the guest room. There's a guest staying there now, but it's not Master Louis,"
Luca calmly stated. She then requested more glass jars from Aunt Neile.
Susan's gaze darkened. Luca was speaking calmly to her, and Susan knew she was not
lying.
If Louis was not here, then where was he?
"Where is he?" asked Susan.
Luca found the question amusing. Where was he? Furthermore, she was the one being
asked.
As Louis's mother, Susan did not even know where her son was and had to ask her...
"Madam Mallory, I have no idea. If you'd like to know where Master Louis is, why not call
him yourself?" Luca thought her response was reasonable.
However, Susan's reaction was unexpectedly intense. "What do you mean by that?!"
Luca was in the midst of handling the herbs, and Aunt Neile was on her way to fetch more
glass jars. They both froze for a moment. Aunt Neile had heard their conversation earlier
and did not think there was any issue. Why was Susan suddenly so furious?
Luca remained silent, while her hands continued to work. Even if Susan's anger spread to
her side, it would not affect her in any way.
Aunt Neile was stunned for a moment and immediately came back to her senses. She
placed the glass jars on the table. "Ms. Craw, let me help you. How should I pack these?"
Luca pointed at another bag of herbs. "Just pack all of these in."
"Alright." Aunt Neile sat on another sofa and began to assist.
Due to the variety of herbs, Luca organized them first before packing. While it might look
a bit tedious, it was actually efficient.
As Susan watched both of them get busy with their tasks while ignoring what she said, the
fury inside her burned even more. "Where have you hidden Louis?"
Luca and Aunt Neile paused for a moment again.
They were finding it increasingly difficult to understand Susan's words.
Luca felt that if she did not respond, Susan might turn the entire living room upside down.
"Madam Mallory, I haven't been in touch with Master Louis. I don't know where he is.
Besides, I don't have the ability to hide Master Louis. He's a grown man, and I'm not a
kidnapper. I can't hide him.
"Feel free to look around the villa if you don't believe me. If I've truly hidden someone, I'll
apologize to you," Luca stopped and replied with a serious expression on her face.
Louis was not a kid. How could she hide him?
At the same time, Luca could not help but wonder what Louis had done to make Susan
come looking for him here.
Dealing with someone like Susan was challenging...
When Susan heard what Luca said, she suddenly felt the urge to search every nook and
cranny of the villa.
However, it was just an impulse. She remained rational. She knew the fact that Luca could
confidently say Louis was not here meant he truly was not.
Both villas had the same layout, and considering Luke's family, there would not be enough
bedrooms for a family of three. Even if there were, Louis would not be here now.
What was she searching for?
Did she really need to open each bedroom door and check the wardrobes for signs of their
stay?
"Then help me contact Louis and find out where he is now." Susan was left with no choice.
The most crucial thing at the moment was to know Louis' whereabouts.
Louis was nowhere to be found, and with the air getting so tense between them, she was
hesitant to go to Louis' company. Susan knew that if she set foot in his office, it would only
bring back memories. The mother and son would end up arguing again.
Luca was puzzled. She looked at Susan with incredulous eyes.
Susan wanted her to help find Louis?

If she had resumed her identity as Bianca, perhaps she could consider it, given her
relationship as Louis' sister-in-law.
However, she had not publicly revealed her true identity yet, so she had no grounds to
assist Susan in finding Louis.
Moreover, she did not even jot down Louis' phone number after she came back. There was
not much communication between them either.
Even if Susan handed over Louis' phone number now, she felt it would be inappropriate to
make the call.
"What's with that look?" Susan frowned, puzzled by why it seemed so difficult for Luca to
make a simple phone call.
"Madam Mallory, I believe the matters between you and your son are best resolved on
your own. It's not suitable for me, an outsider, to intervene," Luca expressed
diplomatically, not wanting to make the call.
The call could be made by Susan, Old Master Crawford, and Luke, but not by her.
Luca was not particularly eager to have any contact with Louis at the moment.
The last time Louis brought Yuri to see Luke, she had noticed a wary look in Yuri's eyes
when she glanced at her. It seemed like Yuri was on guard against her.
As for what she was guarding against, Luca had a good idea.
Those who did not know her true identity might think that her being with Luke like this was
shameless. They probably assumed she was a mistress who was fond of seducing other
people's husbands. Yuri's wariness was likely rooted in these suspicions.
Luca was more beautiful and charming than many other women because of her post-
cosmetic-surgery appearance.
Yuri had valid reasons for being vigilant and concerned about the possibility of her
seducing Louis.
Hence, Luca did not want to have too much contact with Louis now to avoid affecting the
relationship between him and his wife.
Once she got back her true identity, Yuri would not have any reason to suspect her.
