Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3045

"Hmph, how could Madam have such strength? If you keep talking nonsense, I'm going to tear your arm off," warned the man as he cracked his own knuckles.

Silas shivered again, not daring to say another word. However, deep in his heart, he could not help but criticize them claiming that Karen had no such strength. It was only because they had not experienced it themselves.

Karen had some serious strength behind her slaps!

...

At Crawford Manor, Luke and his family of five planned to leave after having lunch with Old Master Crawford.

When they were about to leave, they ran into Susan, who was returning to Crawford Manor.

When Susan saw Luke and the others, she instantly remembered the humiliation she endured at Luke's house on Friday evening.

She could not help but say enigmatically, "I was wondering why you were sorting out the herbs. It turns out you're here to please the old master. Are the herbs a gift for the old master?"

Luke frowned, while Luca stared at her. Just as he was about to speak, Mr. Griffin answered on behalf of her.

"Ms. Craw brought some herbs over for Old Master Crawford to nurture his health," replied Mr. Griffin, his tone tinged with admiration.

Even though Luca's gesture was to please the old master, it was much better than others who tried to gain favor by sending expensive antiques or supplements. The herbs were beneficial for the old master's health if they were used correctly.

This kind of gesture was much more effective in winning the old master's favor compared to those who tried to please him with expensive antiques or supplements.

This behavior, in the butler's eyes, was commendable.

"Old Master Crawford accepted them?" Susan saw Luke holding hands with Luca and remembered her earlier attempt to warn him about his behavior. Instead of being grateful, he continued to stay close to this woman.

They said a woman's charms would bring disaster. Susan secretly thought that Luke would eventually be taken down by a woman like Luca.

However, Susan felt that it did not matter even if Luke was harmed by a woman like Luca as long as it did not affect the Crawford family. There was still Louis, after all.

When Louis became the pillar of the Crawford family, he would have to come back and take over the company.

"He accepted them. Old Master Crawford is very satisfied with Ms. Craw's thoughtfulness," replied Mr. Griffin. Even though Luca was a stranger, she wanted the old master to be healthy and live a long life.

Regardless of whether this stranger did it to please Luke or not, her intention was ultimately good and indeed beneficial to the old master.

However, a certain someone had been the Crawford family's daughter-in-law for decades, yet she tried to put the old master’s health at risk.

Susan managed to smooth things over with an excuse that time, and Old Master Crawford even spent some effort to suppress the news. The incident left a deep impression in both the old master's and the butler's minds.

No matter what Susan did, they became cautious whenever they thought about the incident. Even the supplements she bought back were untouched by the old master.

No matter how good they were, he would not touch them, and he would not give them away either, fearing that they might harm someone. Usually, the supplements would be discreetly disposed of when there was a chance to do so.

"Oh, they're just some herbs and Old Master Crawford is already satisfied? Don't blame me for saying this, but you need to be careful with those herbs. You never know if some ill-intentioned person is trying to take advantage and put the old master’s health at risk."

Susan spoke enigmatically as she looked at Luca with a sly gaze.

Even with Luke present, she did not hesitate to confront Luca.

After all, in her eyes, she was an elder. Whatever she said seemed to carry a bit of weight.

At least that was how Susan perceived it.

Luca's fingers tightened. When Susan made those remarks, she had the urge to retaliate. However, saying those things in front of the butler would only put Luke in a difficult position.
