Chapter 344 An Incident at the Breakfast Table
The Crawford family had many rules. Old Master Crawford placed a lot of emphasis on having breakfast as a family.
One unbreakable rule was that on the 15th of every month, the entire family had to gather for breakfast, no matter how busy or unwilling everyone might be.
Today was the 15th of the month, and it was the day of the breakfast gathering. Moreover, the day was extra special because Luke was about to announce to the family that he had brought his future wife home.
It was also an indirect challenge from Luke to the family members that did not favor the relationship.
On the breakfast table was an array of different breakfast items served on lavish plates. There was something suitable for every taste.
The meats were lightly seasoned because it was breakfast.
Every dish was exquisitely prepared, as though it was the morning of a festival.
Old Master Crawford sat on the lead position at the breakfast table with a stern expression.
He might be old, but his bearing was as authoritative as usual, especially his eyes, which were gentle but commanding.
Susan and her son Louis sat on Old Master Crawford's right side, while on the left were Allison and Luke.
Susan and Allison were dressed up immaculately, decked in all sorts of luxury brand fashion items and accessories as though they were free.
Luke sat there, not saying a word. He might seem calm, but he gave off a dominating air.
His gaze was transfixed on the staircase. No one knew what he was thinking.
Louis looked as carefree as usual. His face was similar to Luke's, having inherited the Crawford family genes.
However, one could tell from the way he sat that he was a playboy.
After all the dishes were served, the dining hall fell awkwardly silent.
Allison could not take it anymore, and she complained to Luke. "What's going on with that Bianca, Luke? Look, we're all here, and we have to wait for her. How could she let her senior wait for her? This girl from a poor family doesn't know etiquette at all!" "Take a look at yourself before you speak! No wonder your son is attracted to that kind of woman," Susan mocked coldly.
"Who are you talking about, Susan?" Allison was about to blow his top.
"That's enough. Can't we have some peace in the morning?" Old Master Crawford furrowed his brows and said impatiently.
His voice was soft but authoritative. The two women immediately shut up.
His daughters-in-law have been arguing since more than twenty years ago. Zachary could have kept them in check, but ever since he passed away, no one could stop the two from fighting, even Old Master Crawford. That had made him very annoyed.
He had suggested that the two women remarry, but they did not want that. They claimed that they remained devoted to Zachary, but Old Master Crawford knew their secret plans.
If Susan remained in the Crawford family, she would have a stake in T Corporation. If she remarried, things would be totally different.
