Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2932

"She's been getting a detective to tail Luca." Luke's expression turned cold. If it were not for the fact that he needed Karen's assistance this time, he would have acted already.

"This woman, always stirring up trouble, just like..." Old Master Crawford paused for a moment.

He initially wanted to say she was just like Allison Tanner.

However, Old Master Crawford eventually did not say it. Allison was Luke's mother, after all. It was inappropriate to speak ill of her in front of him.

Previously, Luke had been troubled by Allison's affairs. Old Master Crawford even envied Old Master Mallory for having a good daughter-in-law.

Karen used to be a capable woman. She had a hand in managing Mallory Corporation.

However, it seemed like Karen was heading farther down a self-destructive path now.

If Luke were to really confront her, the two of them would already be sitting in Mallory Manor’s living room by now.

"Forget it. It’ll be fine as long as you can handle this matter. Matters of the heart are important, but the company's affairs are important as well. You've been managing the company for all these years, putting in a lot of effort. It's important to give it due attention."

Even though Old Master Crawford felt sorry for Luke's bumpy romantic journey, Luke also had a conglomerate to lead.

However, he believed that Luke could handle it well.

The most difficult time was when Bianca got kidnapped. Luke did not neglect the company's management even during his search for Luca. He managed both without delay.

"Yes," Luke understood what Master Crawford meant.

If Luke did not manage T Corporation, thousands or even tens of thousands of people would lose their jobs due to his negligence.

This was no longer just a matter of the Crawford family alone. It concerned many families. Hence, while dealing with Luca's situation, he also had to manage the company.

"By the way, have you heard any news about your mother?" asked Old Master Crawford.

Luke nodded. He had been keeping himself updated on Allison’s situation in Seoul through the interpreter he had arranged for her.

Allison had undergone surgery. The wrinkles on her face had slightly improved, but she still looked different from a normal person.

Allison refused to accept the result and planned to undergo a second plastic surgery in Seoul.

"Is she still receiving treatment in Seoul?" asked Old Master Crawford. Thinking about how Allison had never helped Luke with anything in his life but instead caused trouble, he now regretted his decision.

He should not have let her step into the Crawford family.

Previously, considering the circumstances of the Crawford family and the social environment, Old Master Crawford could have taken Luke back to raise him. He could have let Allison continue her life outside without any ties to the Crawford family.

At that time, he was soft-hearted and also thought that Susan would not accept Luke. If Alison was not with her child, the child might truly suffer.

Moreover, a child needed a mother's care. Considering all these factors, he eventually agreed to let Allison join the Crawford family.

Little did he know that Allison would only cause trouble for Luke and make no contributions.

"Yes, she's going for a second surgery." Luke nodded. He could afford the cost of the surgery.

If it were not for Allison causing so much trouble when she returned previously, Luke would not have been so strict with her finances. As long as she was willing to stay in Seoul for treatment and not come back to disturb the Crawford family, he did not mind spending a little extra money.

“Alright, it's a critical period for you now as well. Staying abroad will keep her from causing more trouble for you," said Old Master Crawford. Despite being family for decades, he refused to face Allison's terrifying face every day.

Old Master Crawford then asked, "By the way, is the government preparing for the bidding process?"

Even though he was not involved in business matters, he was keeping an eye on some of the city's economic development plans. He knew about the suburban development.

"Yes, we're getting ready to start." Luke nodded, not hiding anything. "I'll make sure to handle the gossip news before the announcement is made."

"Good. That's the way to do it to avoid any issues," replied Old Master Crawford.
