Upon hearing about moving, Susan’s entire demeanor turned sluggish and weary. “There’s not much to pack anyway. I can just buy the things I need.”
Old Master Crawford frowned and reminded her, “As a mother, can you be more considerate toward Louis? Do you know how expensive the things you use are? Can’t you help him save some money?”
“Father, you can’t say that to me. Think about it, I’ll just be living there for a few months. I’ll move back here once Thea is on summer break. I can still use all of my things here. Why would it be a waste?” Susan leaned on the sofa while showing her reluctance.
However, no matter how reluctant she was, she would still have no choice but to move.
If it were not for the fear that Old Master Crawford and Luke would get too close, she would not have agreed to move.
Although Louis’ place was a new mansion, how could it compare to Crawford Manor?
The Crawford family’s manor was the property that cost the most.
Susan wondered what in the world Louis and his wife were thinking.
As they said, first come, first served. If they continued to live at the manor, they might be able to get more things once Old Master Crawford passed away.
Old Master Crawford was left speechless by her words, so he had no choice but to say, “I don’t know much about you women, but as a mother, you shouldn’t always just think about your ego. You should think about your son and your granddaughter.”
After listening to Old Master Crawford’s words, Susan knew that he just did not want her to spend so much.
However, as the daughter-in-law of the Crawford family, she had the financial resources to do so. If she did not spend the money, who would?
When she went outside, she was carrying the name of the Crawford family.
“Father, what nonsense are you talking about? Louis is my son. Of course, I care about him. I’ve already spent much less on this move, and I’ve definitely saved Louis a lot of money,” Susan shouted. She had a huge allowance, but everything she bought for this move was with Louis’ money.
This was one of the reasons she agreed to move in the first place.
Louis was willing to let her spend the money, and she could buy a lot of things to make herself look good without having to spend her own money. Of course, she was pleased with the arrangement.
Old Master Crawford was not that easily fooled by her. He rolled his eyes and said, “If you really cared about him, you wouldn’t be clamoring for jewelry!”
Susan was stunned as she did not think that Old Master Crawford would bring this up after two months.
She shouted, “It’s all for the sake of upholding the Crawford family’s image. It’s just like how I’m dressed up so elegantly right now. It’s to protect the image of the Crawford family in front of the Mallory family!”
The jewelry Louis bought her helped her steal the limelight at the birthday party.
Thus, Susan thought that it was worth it regardless of how much it cost.
The jewelry also signified her status in the Crawford family.
“Louis hosted such a lavish banquet for you and got you such an expensive necklace. Why can’t you be more grateful? Now, you even want him to pay for your other expenses!” Old Master Crawford may not pay much attention to Louis’ career, but he still had a rough idea of his situation.
Louis’s company was doing well, but not to the extent that he could afford Susan’s extravagance.
Although he received dividends from T Corporation, he still had a child to raise.
Louis would easily be overwhelmed by Susan’s spending habits.
Susan was disdainful after hearing Old Master Crawford’s stern words.
“Father, Louis is filial, so he gives me whatever I want. Besides, he has the ability to make money,” she said.
She had originally hoped that Louis would have a position in the company, but he was busy with his so-called dream job right now.
Naturally, Susan was not content with it. She was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Crawford family, yet her son started a separate business. How did that make sense?
