Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3288

Anna and Jean knew there was no way the guard would lie to them, so they awkwardly left.

…

Percy was indeed taking Nina for a post-wedding visit. However, this visit was taking place at Crawford Manor, not Anna’s house.

Old Master Crawford had put on a perfectly pressed suit early in the morning and was now sitting on the couch, eagerly waiting for his godson-in-law, Percy, and Nina to arrive.

As he watched Mr. Griffin and the maids busy with the preparations, Old Master Crawford was beaming with delight. His smile stretched from ear to ear.

“Old Master Crawford, please have some tea,” said Mr. Griffin, bringing a cup of freshly brewed tea.

“When will Luke and Luca be here?” asked Old Master Crawford.

“Master Luke and Ms. Craw should be arriving soon, and so will Master Louis,” replied Mr. Griffin. He had already checked the status of their arrivals ten minutes ago.

Even though Nina was only acknowledged as Old Master Crawford’s god-granddaughter, Old Master Crawford loved the lively atmosphere. It was a great pleasure for him to host such a joyous event at the old residence.

“Okay.” Old Master Crawford took a sip of his tea.

Since there was such a celebration at Crawford Manor, they had also hired a hotel chef to cook. Old Master Crawford also invited everyone in the family to join the meal.

Susan returned last night.

Susan heard Old Master Crawford’s question as she came downstairs and coldly remarked, “Even my own grandchildren don’t get this treatment, but a god-granddaughter and her husband do? Old Master Crawford, if others find out about this, it'll be hard to explain.”

Old Master Crawford glared at her. “What do you know?”

Susan’s expression changed. She then heard him say, “This godson-in-law is highly beneficial to the Crawford family and T Corporation. You, as a woman, shouldn’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand!” Old Master Crawford harshly rebuked.

If Percy were not from the Mallory family, no matter how Old Master Crawford was fond of Nina, he would not have gone to such lengths.

Aside from feeling indebted to Nina, her marriage was valuable to the Crawford family.

Susan understood his point and responded coldly, “Percy fell out with the Mallory family to marry Nina. Father, don’t think that just because Percy is managing the Mallory family now that everything is settled. The Mallory family has more than just Percy and Pierre as heirs.

“I heard that Daryl has several kids abroad. Not all of them are outstanding, but picking one as an heir is certainly possible. Your relationship with Old Master Mallory isn’t great now.

"The relationship between the Crawford and Mallory families is still decent because of Percy. But what if one day, Old Master Mallory changes the heir?”

She had gathered this information from Karen.

After she ran into Karen that day, they chatted for a long time, and Susan learned many details about the Mallory family, including the number of kids Daryl had abroad.

Susan had subtly hinted to Karen to bump into Luca.

Susan thought her hints would not work, but she did not expect Karen’s mental state to be so poor that just a small nudge from her would make her actually go through with it.

This really took her by surprise.

Old Master Crawford calmly took another sip of tea and gave Susan a cold stare. He asked, “How do you know so much about the Mallory family?”

Susan was taken aback for a moment and answered instinctively, “Isn’t this common knowledge?”

“You seem to know quite a bit about Daryl’s kids abroad.” Old Master Crawford pointed out sharply.

“I just heard some things,” replied Susan, nervously fiddling with her skirt.

“Is that so? Old Master Mallory is very disappointed with his wayward son and never talks about Daryl’s situation abroad. How do you know so much? Did you have someone investigate Daryl? And what does his situation have to do with you?” Old Master Crawford pressed on.

Old Master Mallory was known in the circle for being quite conservative.
