Female Novel
Chapter 2694
Upon hearing about moving, Susan's entire demeanor turned sluggish and weary. "There's not much topack anyway. I can just buy the things I need."
Old Master Crawford frowned and reminded her, "As a mother, can you be more considerate towardLouis? Do you know how expensive the things you use are? Can't you help him save some money?"novelbin
"Father, you can't say that to me. Think about it, I'll just be living there for a few months. I'll move backhere once Thea is on summer break. I can still use all of my things here. Why would it be a waste?"Susan leaned on the sofa while showing her reluctance.
However, no matter how reluctant she was, she would still have no choice but to move.
If it were not for the fear that Old Master Crawford and Luke would get too close, she would not haveagreed to move.
Although Louis' place was a new mansion, how could it compare to Crawford Manor?
The Crawford family's manor was the property that cost the most.
Susan wondered what in the world Louis and his wife were thinking.
As they said, first come, first served. If they continued to live at the manor, they might be able to getmore things once Old Master Crawford passed away.
Old Master Crawford was left speechless by her words, so he had no choice but to say, "I don't knowmuch about you women, but as a mother, you shouldn't always just think about your ego. You shouldthink about your son and your granddaughter."
After listening to Old Master Crawford's words, Susan knew that he just did not want her to spend somuch.
However, as the daughter-in-law of the Crawford family, she had the financial resources to do so. If shedid not spend the money, who would?
When she went outside, she was carrying the name of the Crawford family.
"Father, what nonsense are you talking about? Louis is my son. Of course, I care about him. I'vealready spent much less on this move, and I've definitely saved Louis a lot of money," Susan shouted.She had a huge allowance, but everything she bought for this move was with Louis' money.
This was one of the reasons she agreed to move in the first place.
Louis was willing to let her spend the money, and she could buy a lot of things to make herself lookgood without having to spend her own money. Of course, she was pleased with the arrangement.
Old Master Crawford was not that easily fooled by her. He rolled his eyes and said, “If you really caredabout him, you wouldn't be clamoring for jewelry!"
Susan was stunned as she did not think that Old Master Crawford would bring this up after two months.
She shouted, "It's all for the sake of upholding the Crawford family's image. It's just like how I'mdressed up so elegantly right now. It's to protect the image of the Crawford family in front of the Malloryfamily!"
The jewelry Louis bought her helped her steal the limelight at the birthday party.
Thus, Susan thought that it was worth it regardless of how much it cost.
The jewelry also signified her status in the Crawford family.
"Louis hosted such a lavish banquet for you and got you such an expensive necklace. Why can't yoube more grateful? Now, you even want him to pay for your other expenses!" Old Master Crawford may
not pay much attention to Louis' career, but he still had a rough idea of his situation.
Louis's company was doing well, but not to the extent that he could afford Susan's extravagance.
Although he received dividends from T Corporation, he still had a child to raise.
Louis would easily be overwhelmed by Susan's spending habits.
Susan was disdainful after hearing Old Master Crawford's stern words.
"Father, Louis is filial, so he gives me whatever I want. Besides, he has the ability to make money," shesaid.
She had originally hoped that Louis would have a position in the company, but he was busy with his so-called dream job right now.
Naturally, Susan was not content with it. She was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Crawford family, yether son started a separate business. How did that make sense?
Therefore, she changed her consumption habits.
It was a matter of course that Louis would have to support her when she was older. If there wassomething she wanted, she would tell Louis right away.
"Don't you have that ability too? I don't see you earning money," Old Master Crawford asked beforestanding up.
As the saying went, out of sight, out of mind. He chose not to look at Susan, who was decked out injewelry, so he turned to leave.
Susan leaned on the sofa while pretending to be elegant as she tucked her hair behind her ears. "Idon't have the ability to earn money, and didn't I raise Louis so that he could take care of me? Besides,
if he can't bear the cost, he still has T Corporation. He can choose to go back to T Corporation anytime,so why should I be worried?"
Old Master Crawford looked back at her.
The reason for her extravagance was to force Louis back to T Corporation?
How cunning of her.
Old Master Crawford left with his cane in his hands.
In order to start his own business at that time, Louis left T Corporation regardless of his family'sopposition and began to look for office buildings and partners.
His company's business had nothing to do with T Corporation, so even if Luke wanted to help him,there was nothing he could do.
All this while, the only person Louis could rely on was himself. All that hard work allowed his companyto become stable in the past two years.
However, Susan seemed to be committed to destroying everything Louis had built.
Old Master Crawford understood where Susan was coming from, so he did not say anything.
Susan leaned on the sofa as she watched Old Master Crawford leave, and she sneered.
There was nobody in the living room, so she could freely say what was on her mind, “I know that youfavor Luke so much that you're okay with Louis setting up his own little company, but Louis is yourgrandson too. How could you be so biased?"
There was no one else in the living room, so no one replied toher.
Susan put her arms on the armrest and rested her chin on her hands with a dull look on her face asshe recalled the past few years.
Although Old Master Crawford was impartial to her and Allison, and they both got the same allowanceevery month, she was still not happy.
If Allison wanted more money, she could ask Luke for it. It could be millions of dollars.
What about her?
In the first few years, she was worried that Louis did not have enough money, so she would often askhim if he had enough. If he did not, she could give him some.
However, Luke was still giving Allison large amounts of money for her to spend.
That woman underwent cosmetic surgery and beauty treatments in Seoul, and each session wass ahuge expense.
Even so, Luke did not even bat an eye.
As for Louis, he asked to split the cost in half when buying her a limited edition jewelry set, and he evenhad to find other alternatives.
The difference was becoming starker, so she was getting increasingly dissatisfied.
If it were not for that b*tch, Allison, Louis would have been the CEO of T Corporation by now. He wouldhave been rich.
As for her, she would have been what everyone wished to be—the mother of T Corporation's CEO.
"How can someone be this biased?" Susan asked again slowly.
