Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2144

Louis did not stop Yuri. It had been a long time since he gave Yuri any jewelry.

Yuri looked at Louis after she closed the safe and said, “Our family needs the shares no matter what. If you sell all your shares, we can’t depend on my family when we’re facing any difficulty in the future. Are you going to take out a loan when the time comes?”

“Mom said that she’s not going to host the birthday party if she doesn’t have the jewelry set.” Louis pulled his hair fretfully.

“Why is this old woman so stubborn?” Yuri frowned. She had expected Louis to get scolded by Susan, but she did not expect that the old woman would threaten her son by not hosting the birthday party if he could not get the jewelry set for her.

No way!

The hotel had been booked and the invitation cards had been sent to the guests. People would think that there was something wrong with the Crawford family if they canceled the birthday party out of the blue.

Besides, Yuri had always relied on the parties held by the Crawford family to maintain her status in the Dunn family. If there was no birthday party this time, would she not be laughed at by those people?

“If Mom won’t attend the birthday party, we can hold the party like nothing happened.” Yuri proposed. After all, there was hardly anyone who truly wanted to please Susan.

People preferred to butter up Old Master Crawford and please Luke. As for Louis, they would only ask for the chance to cooperate or form a partnership at most.

“What? What will the others think of her if she doesn’t show up at her own birthday party?” Even though those people would not be attending the party to celebrate her birthday, she had to be there. Moreover, Louis was afraid that Susan would annoy Old Master Crawford by refusing to attend the party out of spite.

Susan would still be the unlucky one by then.

“Tell me, what should we do if nothing’s going to work?” Yuri’s good mood was spoiled by Susan’s matter in a split second.

Yuri sat on the dressing table chair with her arms crossed. “She’s your mother. You’ll have to handle this by yourself. It gives me the hump.”

"I'll find a way." Louis was annoyed and upset. He thought of lighting up a cigarette to calm himself down. When Louis picked up the lighter and he was about to light the cigarette, he heard Yuri saying, "Get outside if you're going to smoke. It stinks."

“I’m still your husband no matter how stinky it is!” Louis yelled at her and stomped out of the bedroom with the cigarette and lighter.

The door slammed behind Yuri. She frowned, feeling aggrieved. It was not her who wanted that jewelry set. Why did Louis vent his emotions on her?

"Everyone in this family is weird," Yuri mumbled to herself depressingly. She recalled how Susan had complained to her that the old master took her herbs and made tea for Luca before the dinner. Yuri felt even more uncomfortable at the thought of that.

If Yuri were not Louis’ wife, she would have exposed the fact of the old master taking the liberty of doing anything he wanted and treating Luca kindly. She would also let the reporters know what kind of person Luke was.

Luke’s public persona as a faithful husband was contradictory to his true personality—a Casanova.

It was a pity that Louis did not intend to go back to T Corporation. If Luke’s reputation was destroyed, it would not do their family any good either.

Her family could still gain benefits when the company was giving out bonuses.

Louis got out of the bedroom, planning to head to the balcony to smoke. However, he saw Luke standing on the balcony.

Luke did not have any cigarettes in his hands. It seemed like he did not come here to smoke.

Louis knew Luke was not here to look at the scenery. Hence, there was a high possibility that he was standing here waiting for him.

They had been brothers for more than 20 years. Luke knew him well.

Yuri did not like Louis smoking. Hence, every time Louis wanted to smoke, he would have to come to the balcony here to smoke. Louis would want to smoke whenever he had something in his mind.
