Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3050

"Madam Crawford, what's the matter?" Karen saw her in such a state and asked again.

"Oh, nothing much. I was just thinking about something. Madam Mallory, you didn't invite me out for coffee just to talk about fashion, did you?" Susan no longer wanted to listen to her talking about those fashion brands, lest her desire to shop be stirred up again.

"Of course not!" Karen shook her head. At that moment, the door of the private room was knocked before it was pushed open. A waiter walked in carrying Susan's coffee.

"Madam Crawford, here’s your coffee." The waiter carefully placed the coffee in front of Susan. He then turned around and left, closing the door behind him.

The aroma of coffee filled the room, but Susan's enthusiasm remained low. She went straight to the point and asked Karen, "Madam Mallory, the coffee is here. Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I saw in the news before that Luke is having an affair?" As Karen noticed that Susan had no intention of discussing luxury brands, she went straight to her intended topic.

Susan raised her eyebrows. It was indeed related to Luke.

She knew Karen would not have invited her out just to discuss luxury brands. It seemed that she wanted to ask about the rumored relationship between Luke and Luca.

However, was it not her who informed the reporters about this rumor in the first place?

Logically speaking, she should be more aware of the situation.

"It shouldn't be true, right? Hasn't it been clarified? It was just those reporters making a fuss over nothing, creating stories that don't exist." Even though Susan was not fond of Luke, she knew that the reputation of her family needed to be maintained.

She was not sure about Karen's ultimate purpose for asking her out, but her mind was clear. Some things were better left unsaid. She should not fall into someone else’s trap.

"Really? Is it just a misunderstanding?" Karen put on a surprised expression.

"It's been clarified. There's no need to believe in such news." Susan picked up the cup of coffee and took a sip. She could taste that the coffee beans were of high quality, but she did not like the taste of the coffee itself.

It was not from the coffee shop she usually went to.

That was why the taste was different, and she could not say she liked it.

"True, it's better to believe the parties involved." Karen had heard that Susan had moved out of Crawford Manor and was not on good terms with Luke. Therefore, she thought that Susan might not be aware of the information she had leaked to the reporters.

"Yes, you know, those reporters insist on making up stories when they see young people getting along well. But Luke is different from those celebrities. I don't know why they keep latching onto him as if he were a star," continued Susan.

"Indeed, those reporters have quite the knack for gossip. But to be honest, isn't this situation a result of Luke and Luca being close to each other?" Karen continued along the lines of Susan's words while she secretly muttered to herself.

They were a family, indeed. They did not get along well, but they still spoke up for each other in situations like this.

They could really keep secrets for each other…

What Karen said made Susan frown. Deep down, she was starting to get impatient. What was she up to?

“Madam Mallory, you didn’t ask me out just to gossip about Luke, right?"

"Haha, of course not!" Karen awkwardly chuckled and took a sip of her coffee. She then slowly said, “Allow me to speak openly. Is it true that Luca has a good relationship with the Crawford family too?"

"She’s close with Old Master Crawford. She even sent a bunch of herbs over today, claiming that they'll help improve the old master’s health. Why are you curious about this? Does Old Master Mallory want Luca to help to improve his health too?"

Susan almost caught on to Karen's purpose for inviting her out for coffee.
