Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1056

"What do you mean by that? I think dealing with it according to the standard procedure will be for the best. At least, no one will talk crap about it." Susan had been standing at the stairs for quite some time. She had overheard the conversation between the three people. She could not help but interrupt when she heard her son saying that.

"Mom…" Louis turned around to look. 'Why did she come downstairs?'

After the previous incident, Thea grew paranoid and could no longer sleep on her own. She had to cling to Susan or Yuri before she could fall asleep. Tonight, it was supposed to be Susan's turn to accompany Thea to sleep.

"You shut your mouth!" Susan looked at him, disgruntled. If she had not heard Louis speaking up for Allison herself, she would not believe that her son would side with that woman.

Louis obediently kept quiet, afraid she might cause havoc if she got mad.

Susan walked over with wobbly steps. She had been feeling like she was on cloud nine when she learned that Allison was locked up by the police. It was almost like she had a permanent smile on her face. After coaxing Thea to sleep, she started paying attention to the situation downstairs.

She was worried that Luke would talk the old man into letting Allison off the hook. Hence, she deliberately headed downstairs, just so that Old Master Crawford would not listen to Luke.

Never would she expect that it was her son who was siding Allison, and the person who insisted to have her locked up was Luke.

Susan elegantly sat on the sofa and glanced at Louis. Clearing her throat, she said, "Dad, I'm Thea's grandmother and she was a victim of this incident. I have the right to speak my mind, right?"

She knew that the old man despised women who were ill-mannered. Earlier, she had no choice but to interfere. Now, she needed to seek the old man’s approval to talk, or else, she would be viewed as being impolite.

"Don't go rubbing salt in wounds," Old Master Crawford said with a deep tone. Even though Susan had not said her piece, he knew what she was about to say.

Susan had no choice but to keep quiet. She had a dark expression on her face and kept inwardly cursing about this injustice. 'Even now, he’s still thinking of protecting a woman like Allison.’

Louis advised, "Mom, you should head upstairs first. If Thea sees that you’re not by her side later, she’ll be scared."

"Why don't you take a proper look and see who was the one who brought all this harm upon Thea? Her father is clueless and doesn’t know how to protect her. In that case, I, her grandmother, have to protect her!” Susan nagged and shifted her gaze to look at Luke.

She had always held a grudge against the Crawford family and Allison. God knew how she wished for all of them to be imprisoned. She even wished that they would spend the rest of their lives in prison without the chance to ever walk free again. That was the only way she would be the true madam of the Crawford family.

Luke's phone vibrated. He clicked into the message and saw that it was news from Gale.

"Grandpa, just let the authorities handle this incident." Once again, Luke expressed his opinion and determination.

Susan smirked when she heard it and was very satisfied with his answer.

"She's your biological mother," Louis could not help but say.

"I'll help hire a lawyer for her if I have to. I'll take good care of the Crawford family's reputation." Luke headed upstairs without turning around. This was his way of carrying out his responsibility as a son.

Old Master Crawford snorted. He knew his grandson's attitude very well. He would not change his mind after having decided. He did not say another word and headed back to his bedroom with his cane.

Susan leaned against the sofa and looked at Louis. She recalled the things he just said and could not help but nag. "Louis, what the hell are you thinking? How dare you say you want to let that woman off the hook?"

"Mom, this is a disgraceful thing for the family." Louis did not approve of the way his mother wanted to do things.

"Allison should receive her punishment for the wrong deeds she did. It has nothing to do with whether it’ll disgrace the family. Back then, your dad didn’t even consider whether it would be a disgrace to the family when he decided to be with this woman.” Susan still bore this grudge till now. It was because she gave birth to her son much later that Allison gained that opportunity.

Louis felt that he could not outwit his mother and showed a cold expression. "I'll head upstairs to have a look at Thea."

"Thea is sleeping soundly after taking her medication." Susan also got up and headed upstairs.

She was mean to Allison not just because of the grudge she held but also to help Louis gain more opportunities.
