Susan frowned with dissatisfaction. “Even if Louis doesn’t work at T Corporation, he’s still a shareholder. Whatever decisions they make, shouldn’t they consult Louis as well?”
The butler smiled apologetically and said, “Yes, you’re right.”
“This won’t do. Since Louis isn’t here, I need to listen to what they have to say.” Susan thought that she could not let Luke get the upper hand.
She went through a lot just to get Louis so many shares from T Corporation, but if Luke decided to pull some strings and keep the shares for himself, then all her previous efforts would be in vain.
“Madam Crawford, Old Master Crawford ordered…” The butler blocked her way.
“Don’t worry, I’ll just stand by the door. If I can hear it, I’ll hear it. If I can’t, then so be it. I won’t make things difficult for you,” Susan insisted on moving forward.
“This is Old Master Crawford’s order, Madam Crawford. Do you want to displease the old master?” The butler held his ground and stood in her way.
If she continued forward, she would reach the door.
Susan saw that the butler would not budge, and if she continued to make a fuss, the people inside would surely be able to hear it.
She did not dare upset the old master right now, so she glared at the butler and left.
The butler breathed a sigh of relief. Although Susan would hold a grudge against him, it would not be the first time, so he did not think anything of it.
When the tea room door opened, Luke and Old Master Crawford walked out.
Although the old master was elderly, his hearing was still sharp. He asked the butler, “Who was it who tried to enter just now?”
“Old Master Crawford, you heard that?” the butler did not answer.
“Was it Susan?” Old Master Crawford knew who it was after noticing how the butler did not answer. After Allison left, the only person left in this house who was this aggressive and domineering was Susan.
“Madam Crawford is just concerned about the Crawford family affairs,” the butler had no choice but to say.
Old Master Crawford grunted as he knew exactly what Susan was up to.
After glancing at the time, Old Master Crawford said, “It’s almost time. The children are about to finish school, so have Mrs. Nancy prepare dinner.”
“Yes,” replied the butler as he bowed. “Young Master Luke, will you be having dinner at Crawford Manor this evening?”
“I will,” said Luke. He had originally intended to bring the children back tomorrow, but since he was already here, he might as well stay for dinner and bring them back later.
Old Master Crawford was getting old and needed a quiet space.
The place had always been a bit rowdy as the kids were here all the time.
“In that case, I’ll have Mrs. Nancy prepare dinner now.” The butler headed to the kitchen after he finished speaking.
“Luke, will you be staying the night?” Old Master Crawford asked as he would need to have the maid clean Luke’s bedroom if Luke decided to stay the night.
“No, I’ll take the children back home after dinner,” said Luke.
Old Master Crawford nodded without obstructing him as he thought that bringing the children back home with him was not a bad idea. Since he could not handle Luca himself, perhaps the children could assist him.
“A few of the kids got some new things during their stay. I’ll have someone pack them up,” said the old master as he ordered the maid.
“We can always buy them again.” Luke frowned. He would have to travel to Russia often in the future because of the Russian project.
For the most part, he would bring Luca along with him, so the kids would still have to stay at Crawford Manor from time to time.
“Just take them with you and save the money. Besides, do you even have time to buy them with the children?” said Old Master Crawford while he gestured to the maid and insisted that she go pack them up.
Luke kept quiet as he really did not have much time to spend with the children.
When the kids were younger, he could still bring them to the company to watch over them. The kids knew how to behave, so he would put them in the office and they would stay by his side the entire day without making a fuss.
