Chapter 680 A Qualified Mother
Old Master Crawford was lying on a lounge chair in the garden of Crawford Manor. Next to him was a cup of fine
tea.
The old man loved his tea.
When Bianca came into the garden, she noticed that Old Master Crawford seemed listless.
His face was beset with wrinkles, and his gaze was hollow and forlorn as he stared at the plants.
Ever since he found out that Luke was killed, his body, which had not been in good shape, deteriorated rapidly like a
wilted plant.
"Were you looking for me, Grandpa?" Bianca walked behind Old Master Crawford and gently massaged his neck
and shoulders.
Old Master Crawford turned his head to look at his granddaughter-in-law and smiled lovingly. "I'm glad that you're
here, Bea. I want to ask you about the latest happenings in the company, and also... have you found another
significant other yet?"
He knew that Bianca was a very capable woman who single-handedly took on the responsibility of bringing T
Corporation out of a financial crisis two years ago. T Corporation's performance did not decline but rose by several
percentage points compared to two years ago.
Old Master Crawford was very satisfied with his granddaughter-in-law.
However, he had heard rumors that had been circulating in the company.
The old man placed a lot of importance on his family’s reputation. He could not tolerate his granddaughter-in-law

He had wanted to talk to Bianca for a long time, but Bianca had been very busy with company affairs, and he did
not want to bother her.
When he asked Bianca that question, he wanted to observe her reaction.
Old Master Crawford knew that his very capable and talented grandson was gone. If he had his way, he would want
his granddaughter-in-law to defend T Corporation until it was time for his great-grandchildren to take over.
However, Bianca was young, beautiful, and capable. He did not want to tie Bianca down to the Crawford household
because of his selfishness.
"Grandpa, did you hear any baseless rumors from somewhere?"
Bianca frowned, but she continued to massage Old Master Crawford's shoulders calmly. "I don't know from whom
you might have heard those rumors, but I can tell you that they're all false because the only man I love is Luke.
Don't worry. Even if Luke is really gone, I won't marry anyone else. I’m content with my three children."
Old Master Crawford sighed and continued speaking, "I'm not blaming you for anything, and I would feel guilty if I
have to tie you down to the Crawford family, but you're the only one that the Crawford family can rely on. Louis is
an undisciplined kid. He might be artistically talented, but he has no business sense at all. His mother Susan is quite
capable, but her personality has become twisted thanks to what my wretched son did to her, and she's not suitable
to lead the company. I have no other choice!"
Bianca was reminded of Susan's twisted personality.
That woman wanted to harm her when she gave birth to Tommy.
Fortunately, Louis came in the nick of time. Otherwise, she might have claimed two lives with her sinister plot.
Old Master Crawford seemed to know what Bianca was thinking. He shook his head and began to reminisce. "When
Zachary married Susan, she was a refined and elegant woman. It's all Zachary's fault that Susan has become what
she is now. I'm not without blame too... Bea, I hope that you can forgive her. At least do that for me. I'm already so
old, and my last wish is to see my family live together harmoniously..."
Bianca did not nod or shake her head. "I'm not a nosy person, Grandpa. I won't go and look for trouble if trouble
doesn't come looking for me," she said.
Her intentions were clear.
Old Master Crawford felt guiltier than ever. "You're a good girl. The
Crawford family has let you down." "Grandpa, now that the company is back on track, I'd like to fly to Moscow to
look for Luke." Bianca hesitated for a while before announcing her decision.
Old Master Crawford was not surprised. Instead, he looked at Bianca profoundly. "If that's what you want, my child,
then you should do it. I don't believe that Luke is truly gone, but the truth... If you insist on going, I have a few good
friends there, and I'll tell them to take good care of you."
Queenie was packing a suitcase in the living room of the Norman residence.
She knew that Bianca had decided to go to Moscow, and she also knew that her daughter was a stubborn one who
did not change her mind once it was made up.
She stuffed clothes and supplies in the suitcase while exhorting her, "It might be May now, but it'll be cold in
Moscow. I'll pack two more coats for you. If you run out of clothes, don't spare any expense so that you can keep
yourself warm. Also, I've got someone to customize this facial cream for your skin type. You should apply it
frequently so that your skin won't dry up. These supplies are for Tommy. His skin is tender and sensitive, and you'd

at least you have a partner that you can trust."
Bianca could not help but walk forward and hug Queenie gently. "Thank you so much, Mom."
Queenie was such a loving mother.
She had done so much for Bianca in the past two years.
Bianca was eternally grateful. She would never forget what her mother did for her.
Queenie was comforted by Bianca's hug.
She was not good at expressing her love with words. "You don't have to thank me, you silly girl. Let me check your
room if there’s anything else to pack. You can rest on the couch."
She hurriedly rushed up the stairs.
Bianca smiled helplessly as she watched her mother frantically go away and began to slowly organize her suitcase.
At that moment, Leia came into the house, seemingly under the influence.
Her gaze was unfocused as she stumbled around, as though she was trapped in her own mind and could not get
out.
There was a dark red bruise on Leia's neck. It was very obvious.
Bianca knew from experience that the unnerving bruise was a kiss mark.
She was not going to ask Leia what happened. The two of them never saw each other eye to eye anyway.
However, Leia went close to Bianca, and Bianca could see the glee and resentment in her eyes. "Hey, Bianca,
hahahahaha, do you want to know how Luke died?" She blabbed.
