Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2980

Louis returned to his study. He began packing up his computer. In his mind, he was thinking that he should start backing up important files to his private cloud storage.

If something like this happened again, it wouldn't hurt for him to lay low outside for a few days.

Louis had always felt this way, especially since Susan had been forced to move here by Old Master Crawford. Her temper had worsened significantly. He could not afford to provoke her, but at least he could escape if needed.

After packing up his computer and company documents, Louis put his personal documents in his briefcase. He planned to go to his bedroom to change his clothes before leaving. However, he ran into Susan.

The moment Susan saw him, her face darkened and she asked, "What are you back for?"

Louis wanted to tell her that this was his house. Why could he not come back?

However, if he said that, Susan would surely lose her temper again. He had no choice but to smooth things over with her. "Mom, you're still upset."

"How can I not be upset when I have a son as worthless as you?" Susan was furious. When she was reminded of what Louis said to her yesterday, it only made her angrier.

"Since you like that lousy company so much, you can just stay there from now on. Don't come back. Get lost.”

A blaze of anger surged within Louis instantly. He was not just sitting around doing nothing. His company was doing well, and his income managed to cover Susan's expenses. Why did she think it was wrong for him not to work at T Corporation?

In Susan's eyes, even though he was running a company with nearly a hundred employees, he was nothing but garbage.

Louis was puzzled. He was simply pursuing his dream. Why could he not earn her approval?

Old Master Crawford, who had always been strict with his grandsons, praised his current endeavors.

Yet, Susan was different…

Louis felt unappreciated for his efforts. He was even treated as if he were useless. He was unhappy about it.

Even though he was an adult, gaining his mother's approval was still important to him.

Louis' eyes reddened as he anticipated a major showdown between him and his mother.

Just then, Yuri's voice broke the tension. "Mother, please calm down. Louis is following his dream. Let him persist for a while. The company is doing well, and who knows? One day, it might surpass T Corporation."

Yuri tried to appeal to Susan's emotions.

However, Susan clearly was not buying it. She sneered, "Surpass? With this crummy small company? T Corporation is the result of three generations of hard work.

"How can his small and lousy company ever surpass it? He doesn't know how to leverage such vast resources and even handed the company over to that vixen's son. How can I have such a foolish son?"

If it were not for Louis and Zachary's resemblance, she would have suspected that Allison had bribed the hospital to switch the babies.

Louis' face turned as red as a beet. Was she really his mother? How could she say such harsh words?

It was as though she had been possessed by some evil spirit and had become a completely different person.

Previously, Susan used to speak sharply to others, but her harshness was mainly directed at Allison and Luke.

Now, Susan's unkindness was coming at Louis at full throttle. No matter how patient Louis was, there was no way he could endure this kind of taunting.

"Mother!" Yuri felt uncomfortable as well when she heard such things. After all, Louis was her husband.

She could not stand by and let her husband be insulted.

"That useless thing! If he's not willing to work at T Corporation, I'll pretend I never had him as a son!" Susan's face turned bright red with anger as her chest heaved. It seemed like she could not catch her breath.

"Ah, Mother, please calm down. I'll talk to Louis. Mothers and sons shouldn't bear grudges," replied Yuri. She did not want to stay and be the target of Susan's rant. She quickly went downstairs.

When she saw the maid who stood downstairs, she said, "Take good care of Madam Crawford."

"Yes." Even though the housemaid was standing downstairs, she had overheard their entire conversation.

After Yuri left, she shook her head helplessly and thought that Master Louis was in a tough spot. Even though Old Master Crawford supported his career, Susan refused to accept it.

She often believed that the old master’s support was to prevent Louis from competing with Luke. That way, the brothers could get along peacefully, and Luke's position would be safe at the same time.

Susan thought the old master was showing a bias in Luke’s favor.

However, the maid believed that Old Master Crawford genuinely doted on Louis and supported him in pursuing the career he desired.

She had worked in the Crawford family for many years. She knew how aimless Louis was before he got married, even back when he was employed at T Corporation.

If he had been at any other company, he would have been fired long ago.

After he got married and started his favorite career, his aimlessness slowly faded. He became dedicated to his chosen field, unlike before.

The maid believed that Susan should be happy because Louis was improving, after all.

However, Susan was in strong disagreement and not even pleased...

The maid could not get it.
