Chapter 527 Big Changes Are Coming To A City...
In the hospital.
"Unforgivable! This is unforgivable!" Right after Old Master Crawford came to, he saw that everychannel on the television was reporting negatively on his grandson. He was so angry that he flung thebowl of medicine that the nurse brought in.
The black liquid splashed all over the floor.
The nurse stood there stiffly and helplessly, not sure what to do.
"You've just woken up, Father. The doctor said that you shouldn't be emotionally agitated..." Susan wastrying her best to comfort his father-in- law, but she was laughing up her sleeve, i
Her decades-long existence in the Crawford family was fraught with misery. She blamed Old MasterCrawford for not controlling his son.
If Old Master Crawford had been strict with Zachary, he would not have been so brazen to bring Allisonback home.
What was worse than accepting Allison into the family was that the old man had allowed that b*stardchild to take over the family business.
Luke's control over T Corporation was almost total. Susan, the legitimate Mrs. Crawford, and Louis, thelegitimate son, only had a measly percentage and not even the succession rights.
Susan had always been angry and resentful toward Old Master Crawford, but she was helpless to doanything.
She had devoted her life to serving the Crawfords, and she had never done anything to betray them.When she first married Zachary, she had even convinced her father to invest in Crawford Industries.Part of T Corporation's success could be attributed to her.
However, she did not get anything despite her contributions. Why should she have to suffer such unfairtreatment?
She felt vindicated when she saw her father-in-law lying sick in bed because of Luke's misdeeds.
Allison suddenly stood up from her chair and yelled at Susan, "I say, Susan Armstrong, what's themeaning of this? You know that Father is in a bad mood, yet you purposely turn on the television andshow him such disturbing news. What are you thinking? How pretentious. You pretend to be filial, butyou're much more malicious than anyone else!" "Pah!" Susan sneered and retorted, "Father said thathe's bored staying in the hospital with nothing to do, so what if I turn on the television to entertain him?Is it my fault that I want to cheer him up a little? I didn't expect that your son's sordid news would be allover the TV. Your son has really done it this time, Allison Tanner. He called off his engagement withJack Norman's daughter in public. Mr. Norman might be forgiving, but even he would not tolerate thishumiliating episode. Hah, I'm sure that Mr. Norman will take his revenge, and big changes will come toA City..."
Allison was very frustrated about her son's public rejection of the proposal.
Now that Susan was mocking her son brazenly, she became even angrier." I can't help it if LeiaNorman loves my son. He's too outstanding! He can afford to reject her love, and she still loves himanyway! What can he do about it? Unlike your son. He messes around with women, but they're all low-grade trash! How can your son compare to my son?”
Timidly, the nurse listened to the argument while wiping the black liquid medicine with a mop.
She thought that the high life was glamorous and extravagant, just like how romance novels portrayedit. She had not expected that politics between two women could be so intense.
She realized that not any random woman could enjoy the high life. If they did not know how to scheme,they might be eaten alive.
Susan could not find a retort to Allison's words.
She had emphasized the seriousness of Luke's rejection, but Allison had somehow turned that intohow outstanding her son was.
What a shameless woman!
Susan turned around and looked at her son, who was sitting next to Old Master Crawford while playinga game on his iPad. She pinched his ear and said angrily, "Louis, aren't you dating the governor'ssecond daughter now? Bring her home tomorrow. If she's not bad, then you'd better propose to her. Iwant a grandchild!" "..." Louis was speechless.
He was only sitting there minding his own business. How did he get involved in their argument?
"I'm still young, Mom. Can't this matter wait for two more years..." Louis saw that his mother wasglaring fiercely at him, and his tone became sheepish. "I know. Mom. I'll bring her home some timesoon so that you can look at her."
What Louis was thinking was, Tm not going to bring that woman back home!'novelbin
The woman had the looks and the figure, but she was a bad-tempered control freak. He could notstand being with her.
Susan patted her son's shoulder, satisfied by his answer. She shot a disdainful glance at Allison."Hmm, isn't my son talented? He can even court the governor’s daughter. She's the real daughter of
the governor, unlike some girl picked up from the orphanage!" "You...” Allison was at a loss for words.
Her son had just broken up with the daughter of the Provincial Committee Secretary, but Susan's sonwas dating the governor's daughter. She gritted her teeth with anger.
Old Master Crawford cooled down when he heard that his second grandson was dating a socialite.
"Louis, why didn't you tell us that you're dating someone? Bring your girlfriend home some time, and letus check her out. You're not young anymore, and your elder brother is going to have his third child. Youshould learn to settle down soon."
His elder grandson had disappointed him greatly, and he had to place his hopes on his youngergrandson.
"I know, Grandpa..." Louis replied reluctantly.
'Hell if I know!'
At that moment, Luke entered the ward, followed by Jason.
When Old Master Crawford saw his elder grandson, he tossed a glass toward him. "Why are you here,you ingrate? Our family's reputation is in ruins after what you've done!"
Luke caught the glass and placed it on the table next to him. "Why are you so angry, Grandfather? Youknow that I'm very busy, yet I've managed to find some time to visit you. I'm not here to argue withyou."
Old Master Crawford's anger was like a raging storm. "I don't want to see you now. Get lost!"
Luke smiled, feeling rather relieved. "You seem energetic, Grandfather. It should mean that you'rerecovering. I'll leave now. Please take a good rest in the hospital. I'm not going to disturb you anymore.
If you need anything, you can contact Mr. Doyle anytime."
After that, he walked out of the ward.
Old Master Crawford nearly passed out again when he saw his grandson leave.
'Can't that ingrate show some concern to this old man?' i
