"Luke Crawford, I'm coming for you!”
After Karen said that, she turned around and left the living room.
The Crawford family's butler hurried to see her off. After Old Master Crawford waited for the others to leave, he asked Luke,
"What did you send to Old Master Mallory?”
"I just told Old Master Mallory who leaked the rumors about me and Luca to the reporters," replied Luke nonchalantly. Was Karen
not the type to cause trouble for others?
Perhaps she was just as good at getting into trouble herself as she was at causing it.
Luke knew that Old Master Mallory was aware of everything, but he simply did not stop Karen back then.
After all, any trouble on the Crawford family's side would not affect the Mallory family.
However, once he unraveled this, Old Master Mallory would have no choice but to face the matter head-on.
Old Master Crawford let out a brief laugh and said, "Haha, Old Master Mallory probably didn't expect you to do this. Keep him
occupied. It wards off the potential mental slowdown that comes with too much retirement leisure."
When Luke saw Mr. Griffin return, he knew Karen had left. He rose to his feet and said, "Grandpa, I have to go back to the
company for a meeting."
Old Master Crawford waved his hand. "Go ahead. Remember to bring Luca and the kids back this weekend."
"Yes, I will.” Luke left Crawford Manor after that.
Old Master Crawford took a sip of tea and asked Mr. Griffin, "How are things going on Louis' side?"
When Louis first argued with Susan, the maids in the villa had already informed him of it.
Later, when Louis moved out with Luke's help, he came back and confessed to him.
Regarding his grandson's behavior, Old Master Crawford did not say much. He only mentioned that Louis could ask for his help if
there was anything he needed.
However, he was secretly keeping an eye on Louis' situation.
He was of the Crawford family bloodline. How could Old Master Crawford not care?
Mr. Griffin respectfully replied, "Master Louis, Ms. Dunn, and their child have already moved to an apartment near the school
district. According to the maid, Thea's condition is stable. Moving to the apartment doesn't seem to have affected them much.
Master Louis and Ms. Dunn are living a pretty normal life."
When Old Master Crawford heard that Louis' family was doing well, he nodded and said, "Report back immediately if you find out
he needs help."
"Yes, sir,” replied Mr. Griffin.
Suddenly, Old Master Crawford added, "Bring back the men handling the acquisition. It seems Louis isn't keen on letting go of
his current venture. Let him run the company the way he wants.”
"Understood." Mr. Griffin nodded.
The group that was recently interested in acquiring Louis' company was sent by Old Master Crawford.
He was not trying to trouble Louis. He just wanted to offer him an alternative, which was returning to T Corporation.
However, Louis had no intention of going back.
This matter even caused a dispute between the mother and son.
Old Master Crawford felt a bit embarrassed, but he did not let Mr. Griffin reveal that he was the mastermind behind this. Thus, he
told Mr. Griffin to continue to keep an eye on Louis' situation.
"Oh, by the way, Old Master Crawford, what about Madam Susan?" asked Mr. Griffin.
Susan still appeared calm at the moment. It was probably because she was still upset. Someone as prideful as her would never
bow down to Louis.
Still, what about later?
Susan might not be as angry now, but she was still determined to make Louis return to T Corporation. She would cause a scene.
It might even escalate to her causing a ruckus here at Crawford Manor.
Old Master Crawford rubbed his forehead. He only wanted to see if Louis wanted to go back to T Corporation. He did not expect
Susan to overhear Louis' phone conversation.
He said, "Let her make all the noise she wants. Now that Louis has moved out. The whole villa is hers, complete with maids
waiting on her. What more could she possibly be dissatisfied with?"
"Old Master Crawford, what if she wants to move back here..." Mr. Griffin implied.
Previously, Old Master Crawford asked Susan to move out by using Thea as an excuse.
However, now that Louis was living elsewhere with Thea, would Susan not have an excuse to return?
Realizing that he had a daughter-in-law who could stir up trouble as well, Old Master Crawford immediately felt regretful. Yes,
how could he forget about this?
After Susan calmed down, would she not come back to solidify her position here?
She had even more reason to return, especially now that Thea did not need her care.
Old Master Crawford took a gulp of tea and replied, "We can't let her come back and disturb my peace no matter what. Figure
something out."
After that, the old master walked toward his study while leaning on his cane.
Mr. Griffin looked helpless. How was he supposed to figure something out?
He was just an employee, after all...
Susan would never listen to him. Mr. Griffin pondered for a moment. It seemed that only Old Master Crawford could keep her in
check.
Mr. Griffin watched the old master leave and shook his head helplessly. Then, he instructed those men who dealt with Louis to
stop the negotiations with him.
If Louis wanted to develop his own career, they would let him be.
After Karen left Crawford Manor, she sat in the back seat with a gloomy expression on her face.
The man who drove the car noticed that there was a hint of unease in her look. He wanted to say something to lighten the
atmosphere, but he decided against it.
When Karen was in a bad mood, it was best not to provoke her. Whoever spoke first would be the unlucky one.
The man certainly did not want to be the unfortunate soul caught up in her storm.
Unable to vent her frustration, Karen said to him, "Head to the Mallory Estate."
The man glanced at her through the rearview mirror, furrowed his brows, and asked, "Madam Mallory, are you going to confront
Silas?"
"He's the one who made me end up like this. If I don't let off some steam, I'll feel uneasy inside!" Karen wished she could tear
him to pieces at the thought of the grandfather and the grandson of the Crawford family.
How ridiculous, taking advantage of her lack of evidence and telling her to leave.
Why?! She was also part of the Mallory family. How dare they treat her differently?!
"But Madam Mallory, there's news from the Mallory Estate that Silas has a fever today. If you go there now..." the man hesitated
to continue.
Silas was already running a fever, and Karen had a knack for tormenting people. If she headed there now, would it not be like
putting Silas' life at serious risk?
"He has a fever?" Karen felt inexplicably annoyed. She thought of how Silas had only been kicked a few times yesterday and
had fallen sick today. This man was really weak.
However, there was no way she could bear it if there was no way to vent her frustration.
"Yes, he has a fever. We've already called the family doctor to go over," replied the man. The doctor they called was the family
doctor of the Mallories. Even if he saw Silas in that state, he would not say anything. He would only treat Silas' illness and ignore
everything else.
"Such a hassle.” Karen thought of kicking Silas a few times to vent her anger.
Nonetheless, if she went there now, Silas might not survive another beating.
"Madam Mallory, actually, letting the doctor treat him isn't such a bad idea. Once his face is less swollen, you can have him
clarify things to the media," suggested the man, subtly reminding her that other than causing trouble for the Crawford family, the
most important thing was to clarify the false reports to the media.
"Forget about it..." Karen, although frustrated, knew he was right.
Right now, the most crucial thing was to clarify to the media that the reports were false.
