Susan, undeterred by the warning, shot back, “Isn't all his money from T Corporation? Father, what you said was pointless.”
Old Master Crawford glared at her fiercely. “If you were given a chance to work at the company, do you think you could earn that much money?”
Susan’s family background was quite wealthy. She was raised as a pampered young lady, so she never learned how to make money.
Once she realized this, she chose to become a housewife in the Crawford family and stopped considering working at the company. She focused on raising Louis, planning for him to work at the company once he grew up.
Little did she expect that after Louis worked at T Corporation for a few years, he would start his own business, leading to a conflict between them. It felt like a slap in the face!
Susan’s face turned slightly pale as she muttered, “I...”
“Enough! You can’t make money yourself, so why are you even talking? Luke's the one bringing in the cash, and in the end, aren’t you the one benefiting from it? Sometimes, you just need to know when to be grateful,” warned Old Master Crawford.
For decades, he had been frustrated with Susan’s incompetence and her tendency to stir up trouble. It was annoying!
Susan paused for a moment, then coldly huffed. “Father, you’re just biased toward Luke. Once his mother comes back and turns the Crawford family upside down, you’ll regret it.”
Old Master Crawford’s expression darkened. When he was about to scold Susan, she turned around and walked away.
“Utter nonsense!” Old Master Crawford huffed while slamming his cane against the floor.
“Sir, please calm down,” advised Mr. Griffin. He had served Old Master Crawford for years and knew well what kind of person Susan was. He also understood her fears. She was worried that Allison’s return would threaten her position.
The rivalry between the daughters-in-law of the Crawford family mainly boiled down to the clash between these two women, and Old Master Crawford had been irritated by it for decades without a good solution.
That was why he was particularly strict with his grandsons, Luke and Louis.
Before marriage, they could choose whoever they wanted to be with.
However, once they were married, there would be no messing around. The old master was seriously worried his grandsons would end up like their father, causing trouble and ending up with two wives.
With both wives vying for attention, it would be complete chaos.
Zachary passed away early, so he could not witness the conflicts between his two wives, but Old Master Crawford was certainly worn out by their constant bickering.
“I wish I could stay calm, but just look at what's going on.” The look on Old Master Crawford’s face was helpless as he glared in the direction Susan had left. “Find out who leaked the news about Allison coming back.”
“Yes, sir. Let me help you back to your room to rest,” replied Mr. Griffin as he helped the old master.
Old Master Crawford had a grim expression on his face. After returning to his room and lying down, Mr. Griffin called all the household staff together to start an investigation.
Before long, they found out who informed Susan.
The maid had not considered that things would escalate this much, so she did not delete her call records. When confronted, she immediately knelt down and pleaded, “Mr. Griffin, I didn’t mean to! It was Madam Susan who told me to do it. If I didn’t, she said she'd fire me! I was scared, and in a moment of confusion, I just…”
Mr. Griffin looked coldly at the pleading maid. After dismissing the other maids, he said to her, “It’s not Madam Susan who pays your salary. She doesn’t have the authority to fire you.”
The maid shook her head. “That’s not true! She said that if she could pin some kind of fault on me, she could get me fired. I was scared, so I did it. Besides, it’s not a secret. Madam Susan would've found out sooner or later, right?”
Mr. Griffin heaved a sigh and shook his head.
