Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2141

“Is this the jewelry set that I asked for? Louis, you probably think that I’m old and my eyes are getting bad. Is that why you’re trying to fool me?”

Yuri stood at the stairs, holding Thea's hands. Susan must be in a bad mood now, not to mention that she was lectured by Old Master Crawford not long ago. Yuri grabbed Thea's hand and decided not to return to their bedroom to prevent her from getting into trouble. Hence, Yuri lowered her head and said, "Thea, have you finished your homework?"

Thea pouted, and there was clearly a disapproving look in her eyes. “Mommy, I don’t want to do my homework.”

“No way. Come on. Let’s go to your bedroom and finish your homework.” Yuri did not want to deal with Susan’s anger. She dragged her daughter and headed to Thea’s bedroom without a second thought.

The jewelry set was Louis’ idea. Yuri had thought it was a bad idea from the very beginning. After all, jewelry meant a lot to a woman.

However, Louis refused to listen to her. He thought getting something similar would cheer Susan up, so he insisted on buying this jewelry set.

Louis had gotten himself into deep trouble now.

Thea was dragged back into her room. She looked at her mother and said, “Mommy, Grandma seems angry.”

“Yes. That’s why you must listen to Mommy’s advice and do your homework.” Yuri was a little worried that Susan would come looking for her. After all, her mother-in-law was a censorious person. She was mean to the others, but she would pick on her more.

“I’m scared…” Thea sulked when she looked at her homework. She did not want to do her homework. She took the chance to use the excuse of Susan being angry to act cute and avoid doing her homework.

“Come on. It’s alright. Everything will be fine after you finish your homework.” Yuri was having a hard time convincing Thea. Her daughter was not as studious as Luke’s kids. Thea would always act cute whenever she was asked to do her homework.

Quoting what Old Master Crawford had said, Thea’s personality resembled her father.

Louis was almost the same back then.

Susan’s bedroom…

Louis listened to his mother’s sharp question as a dull pain ached in his temples. “Mom, this isn’t the jewelry set that you wanted. But the price of this jewelry set isn’t cheap either, and it looks similar to the one you want.”

“How can this be the same? There’s nothing similar to it other than the color. It’s not even the same brand!” The design was important to Susan, but the price and brand mattered more.

Susan was planning to wear the set to her birthday party. If the wives of those rich men saw her wearing one of the three limited edition jewelry sets, they would be green with envy. Then, Susan would be popular in the social circle.

She wanted to prove that she was the favored daughter-in-law in the Crawford family with that jewelry set. Even though Allison had gotten out of prison, there was no way she could compare to her.

What was the point of having a son who had all the benefits? Her son could give her a comfortable life too.

However, she did not expect Louis to buy another jewelry set to deceive her.

“Mom, the jewelry set you want is a valuable collectible. Others are reluctant to let it go…” Louis was helpless. He was hoping that Susan would understand him.

Louis had gone to great lengths to look for the jewelry set, but he was still unable to get it.

He now owed others tons of favors just so he could look for the jewelry set. It was not easy for Louis to approach a noblewoman who was willing to let it go, but he could not afford to pay the price…

Louis would have to sell his shares in T Corporation.

However, he could not sell the shares that he held in T Corporation to satisfy Susan’s vanity.
