Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2707

Mr. Griffin, who happened to walk into the room, heard what Susan said.

“Madam, what’s the matter?” Mr. Griffin pretended not to understand, but he knew very well that Susan usually talked about Old Master Crawford favoring Luke over Louis.

Everyone thought Luke had everything because he was Old Master Crawford’s favorite grandson.

However, Mr. Griffin, who had been serving the old master for years, knew that Louis was actually the one whom the old master favored.

Louis was free-spirited and someone who could do whatever he wished.

That was what it meant by being favored by Old Master Crawford. He could enjoy his life, live freely, and do whatever he wanted.

“Nothing.” Susan adjusted the shawl over her shoulder. “What were Old Master Mallory and Old Master Crawford talking about just now?”

"It seems like they were talking about Mr. Pierre," answered Mr. Griffin. Karen came here and caused trouble. The news spread through Crawford Manor like wildfire, and everyone knew about it.

Even if Mr. Griffin did not say anything about it, Susan would still be able to figure out what happened if she asked around.

“That’s weird. Why did they come here to talk about Pierre?” Susan remembered the grimace on Old Master Crawford’s face when they mentioned Pierre’s name earlier.

Pierre stole Luke’s bidding document, and he almost ruined T Corporation’s tender.

Fortunately, the bidding document was designed by Luke to set the thief up.

Although Susan hated Luke, she would not give up the company’s bonuses.

Hence, Susan was concerned about T Corporation’s profits. That was why she remembered it.

“What exactly were they talking about?” asked Susan.

Old Master Crawford looked normal when she made her way down the stairs just now. Judging from past experiences, the old master would not have been so calm. Hatred and disgust would have been all over the old master’s face when Pierre’s name was mentioned.

Hence, Susan could not help but wonder what really happened.

“I heard that Mr. Pierre has been kidnapped. Madam Mallory thinks it’s Master Luke who did it. That’s why she came looking for Old Master Crawford to ask for help,” answered Mr. Griffin.

"Hahahaha." Susan howled with laughter shamelessly.

Mr. Griffin was confused looking at her. What was wrong with her?

“Madam, what’s the matter?”

“Please don’t… Haha, don’t talk to me. Let me laugh.” Susan held her head up as she laughed as though she heard a funny joke.

Mr. Griffin remained rooted to the spot awkwardly. What was so funny about it when it was Karen who misunderstood the whole thing?

It took a while before Susan stopped laughing. Only then did she say, “Karen thinks Luke kidnapped her son, Pierre?”

Mr. Griffin nodded and replied, “Yes.”

“And she came here to ask Father to convince Luke to let Pierre go?” Susan continued.

“Yes, Madam.” Mr. Griffin nodded again.

"No way. This is hilarious. Did Karen lose her mind?" Susan covered her mouth as she laughed, thinking that Karen would become a laughing stock if she told the wives of rich men whom she often had high tea with.

Mr. Griffin cleared his throat.

“Then? How did it go?” asked Susan. She knew Luke had nothing to do with this without having to ask Mr. Griffin about it.

“Madam Mallory was brought away by Mr. Bennet,” replied Mr. Griffin. “I heard that she took some pills, which caused her to be emotionally unstable. She’s worried to death about Pierre being kidnapped. That’s why she has been looking for him everywhere.”

"What kind of medication can cause someone to be emotionally unstable? How could she suspect Luke? Is she out of her mind? Karen must be mentally ill. She has to be cured… Ah, I can't. I'm gonna laugh my lungs out." Susan stood up happily. Her sharp gaze and the unhappy look on her face were gone after she found out that Karen had done such a silly thing.
