Female Novel
Chapter 2935
After hearing what the children said, Luca knew that Susan must have come with ill intentions. She toldthe children, “Why don't you watch cartoons in the second-floor living room?"
Usually, they would not turn on the television on the second floor because Luke spent most of his timeworking in his room. Turning on the television on the second floor might disturb him.
Thus, the children had developed the habit of watching television on the first floor regardless ofwhether Luke was home or not.
That way, if the adults were out, it would also be easier for Aunt Neile to look after them on the firstfloor.
"Okay!" said Tommy first.
When Luca saw the kids go upstairs, she added, "Oh, ask your father to come downstairs and tell himthat your grandma is here."
"Alright," said Rainie before going upstairs to tell Luke.
Luca stood at the entrance and took out a pair of disposable slippers as she waited for Susan to comein.
The structure of both their homes was the same. Although the garden landscape was different, themansion was not big enough for people to get lost in it. Susan managed to quickly make her wayinside.
She saw Luca when entering the porch, and her eyes blazed with disdain.
"I see that you're still living here," she said, emphasizing the word 'still'.
Luca pointed at the slippers on the ground. "Mrs. Crawford, you can change into these slippers."
Susan put on the slippers with a poker face. She wanted to find fault with Luca, but seeing as theslippers were unused, it was hard to nitpick.
After changing into the slippers, she walked into the living room and said bluntly, "I came here to seeyou."
Luca was not surprised to hear that. Besides, Luke was the CEO of T Corporation and the person incharge of the Crawford family. Susan would not come to cause a commotion over a small matter.
At least Old Master Crawford could still bring her under control. If Susan were to offend Luke in anyway, things would not end up well for her.
Therefore, she came to ruffle Luca's feathers instead.
Luca had already accepted her fate of getting picked on.
Besides, when she was still Bianca, she had suffered Susan's criticisms and her efforts to make lifedifficult for her. Although she had not experienced it for several years now, Susan's methods were stillfamiliar to her.
“Mrs. Crawford, would you like some tea while we talk?" Although she came with ill intentions, it wasstill Luke's house. Luca still had to show basic etiquette.
Luca was protecting him. She was fine being called rude, but she was not okay with others saying thesame about Luke!
With Susan's nitpicking personality, she did not want to hear Susan complain about the poor hospitalityat their place the next time Luke went back to the manor.
Susan did not expect to see her behave so indifferently.
Was this the attitude a mistress should have?
Normally, after mistresses get exposed, they would be obsequious to the elders and be scared todeath.
At the very least, Luca should be like Allison, who was fearless and acted as if it was an honor beingthe mistress.
However, Luca was neither. After Susan gave it some thought, she felt that Luca had already thought ofherself as the lady of the house.
How ridiculous!
"No need." Susan did not come here to drink tea. She invited herself in and sat on the sofa as if shewas the hostess.
"Since you're so smart, you must be able to guess why I'm here. I'll just get straight to the point. I'veread the reports about you and Luke, and they're badly affecting the Crawford family and TCorporation.
"Before it got exposed, I didn't say anything as I'm not Luke's biological mother. But things are differentnow. I have a say in it if it affects the family, so please stay away from Luke and the Crawford family.
"You'll never climb your way up the ladder," Susan spoke with varying intonation, a lot of emotion, andthe sternness of an elder.
However, her authority could not suppress Luca as a faint smile appeared on Luca's face.
If she were still the naive Bianca, Susan's efforts to make things difficult for her might have worked.
After all, Allison had done the same thing to her in the past, but she was Luca now...
After going through so much, she was no longer the Bianca that everyone walked all over.
When Susan came here, acting like a parent and expressing her disapproval of her being with Luke,Luca was just speechless.
When had she ever cared about Luke?
Now, out of nowhere, she was exacerbating the situation by telling Luca to leave.
If Luca really left, she would be making Susan's wish come true.novelbin
"Mrs. Crawford, I've never wanted to climb up the social ladder. I'm just enjoying the present. Thosereports aren't true. It's not like what you think, so you don't have to worry. Luke will take care of it," Lucasaid calmly while sitting across from Susan. Somehow, it had turned into a negotiation.
After listening to her, Susan had no intention of leaving. She sneered and said, "I remember you oncesaid that you and Luke didn't have that kind of relationship, nor did you intend to have that kind ofrelationship. That's why I left you alone.
"Now that you have this big mansion and other benefits, you don't want to leave anymore, huh? Luca,people shouldn't be too greedy—especially when they're a mistress. If you don't listen to me, you'regoing to suffer in the end." “People change, Mrs. Crawford," Luca told her with a serious look on herface, but she was still wondering why Luke had not come down.
Did Rainie not tell him? Rainie was a meticulous child, so she would not have forgotten.
Did he not come down on purpose because he did not want to see Susan?
Luca thought to herself that if she had known, she would not have opened the door for Susan. Shecould just unplug the doorbell camera if Susan kept on ringing, and she would not even know.
Now that Luke had not come down after she let Susan in, it gave Luca a headache.
She really despised talking to Susan about this as it affected her mood.
She was already feeling uneasy and wanted to organize her thoughts.
Now that Susan came to stir things up, Luca could not help but feel angry.
Who on earth gave the reporters the information and pulled her into a whirlpool of public criticism?
However, Luca was surprised that Queenie and Wanda, the people who were most protective ofBianca, did not come to her first. Instead, it was Susan...
Susan could not suppress her anger when she saw Luca's calm expression. "Yes, people change. Justlike how you're getting greedier and greedier.
"Do you think that you can replace Luke's wife and marry into the Crawford family? Let me tell you thatyou should stop dreaming. Luke's father is the perfect example!
"Even when Allison was with child, she couldn't drive me away. I was still his father's legal wife, so whocares if they all called Allison 'Mrs. Crawford'?
"Their relationship was never recognized by the law. His father has left for so many years now, andAllison's marital status is still single. If you continue to insist, you will end up the same way.
"It doesn't matter how you make yourself appear in front of people because they're all cursing youbehind your back anyway."
