Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1021

Crawford Mansion was in chaos.

Since the thief had yet to be caught, Susan clamored in front of Old Master Crawford every day to complain about Luke. She said that Luke was not taking it seriously and he only cared about his own happiness, not caring about Thea's injury at all.

Old Master Crawford was upset by her never-ending rambling, so he summoned the family and invited them to the mansion for dinner.

Luke went back with Bianca and the kids. They walked into the living room and noticed Susan, who was alone in the living room.

Bianca sighed and prepared herself for another storm.

"Lanie, Rainie, go upstairs to do your homework. If there’s something that you don't understand, make a note of it and I’ll come up to help you with it later." Bianca handed the school bags to the twins. There were certain matters that she did not want to involve the kids in.

Blanche and Rainie nodded and carried their school bags upstairs.

Tommy eagerly called out to Susan, "Grandma Susan!"

Susan responded with a stern expression and looked at Luke closely.

Their family was so harmonious that it made her jealous. Everyone was under the same roof on the day of the incident but Thea was the one who got hurt.

Although Thea's condition had stabilized and she was getting better day by day, Susan could not find peace until the thief had been found.

"Luke, when did your level of efficiency become so bad?" Susan went straight into questioning him, ignoring the presence of the children.

Luke’s expression remained neutral as he said to Bianca, "My love, please take Tommy upstairs."

He was more than willing to deal with matters as such alone. He did not need Bianca to be by his side.

Bianca was aware of his intentions and did not want to add to his stress. She said to Tommy, "Tommy, let's go upstairs to watch cartoons, okay?"

Tommy wanted to say that there was also a TV downstairs and they could watch cartoons here, but upon seeing Susan's gloomy expression, he nodded and followed Bianca upstairs.

After Bianca and the kids went upstairs, Luke sat opposite Susan and said, "Susan, the matter is under investigation."

"Have you been procrastinating? It’s been so long since the break-in and Thea has been suffering in the hospital yet you haven't found anything useful. Are you trying to drag it out? Could it be that you’re in cahoots with the thief?" Susan was filled with wrath and started making wild guesses because she had not heard anything from him.

Luke's expression turned gloomy in an instant.

"If you have doubts about my ability, you can wait for the police to finish their investigation. I’m running a separate investigation alongside the police. Both sides are working on it at the same time," he explained as patiently as he could.

Susan was triggered by his response and pointed at him while shouting, "You’re finally willing to tell the truth! You’re deliberately dragging out the investigation to buy time for the thief! Are you happy that Thea is hurt? You and the thief are partners in crime!"

Her tone changed from questioning to affirmative.

Luke was running out of patience and did not care about what she thought. When he stood up and wanted to leave, Old Master Crawford came downstairs.

He had overheard the entire conversation. Old Master Crawford was exasperated that Susan said such things. She was acting like a child rather than a respectful adult. He scolded her with a sullen expression, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
