Chapter 406 She Was Angry! She Was Furious!


    Susan did not expect that Louis was standing at the door.


    She instantly came to her senses and remembered what she said at the peak of her rage.


    She had to admit that the twisted marriage to Zachary Crawford had caused irreparable psychological


    damage, but undeniably, she was a doting and caring mother to her son Louis.


    Her position in the household was precarious, and she only had her son to rely on. She could not afford


    any cracks in her rtionship with Louis.


    "What are you saying, my son? I don''t understand," Susan said sheepishly." See, Luke already has a


    pair of twins, and now Bianca is pregnant with a third child. You''ll have to buck up and get your mother


    a grandchild soon. That way, the Crawford family business wouldn''t fall entirely into the hands of Allison


    and her son!" "Tell me honestly, Mom, did you hire someone to cause Luke''s car crash?" Louis was not


    beating around the bush.


    Louis''s gaze was like Zachary''s. Susan felt an inexplicable panic when looking into her son''s eyes.


    Then, she began to feel sorrow.


    Those were exactly like the eyes that had captivated her heart.


    Zachary Crawford was an experienced casanova. He had promised Susan the moon, which made the


    naive Susan fall in love with him. Her parents were not fond of Zachary, thinking that he was unreliable


    because of his attitude.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Back then, she was a naive young socialite who was deeply in love. Why would she care about


    anything else?


    Moreover, Zachary seemed to be devoted to her whenever they were together. She did not see his


    multiple affairs with other women.


    When her parents objected to her marriage, she had even threatened tomit suicide. Not only that,


    she had carnal rtions with the man despite her strict upbringing. After that, her parents had no


    choice but toply.


    She married the man he loved, thinking that her world wasplete.


    She did not expect that Zachary''s other lovers started crawling out of the woodwork even before they


    had finished their honeymoon.


    Thus began her cold war with Zachary Crawford.


    At first, Zachary would attempt tofort her. Eventually, he grew tired of her tantrums and began to


    keep a distance from her. Sometimes, he would not return home for days.


    She was forced to face the harsh realities of life.


    Using her family''s influence, she managed to deal with Zachary''s mistresses. Unfortunately for her,


    Zachary was a total yboy. After dealing with one mistress, another younger and prettier woman


    would take her ce, as though mocking her.


    Eventually, she grew tired of dealing with the endless stream of women.


    Her parents convinced her that she would be able to secure her position in the Crawford family if she


    could bear a son. Eventually, all the riches of the Crawford family would fall to her.


    She did not bother dealing with those innumerable mistresses. Instead, if she ever found that any of


    those women became pregnant, she would get someone to forcefully abort it.


    She did not expect that one would slip away.


    Unknowing to her, Allison Tanner, an escort and one of Zachary''s sugar babies, became pregnant.


    She was already five months pregnant when Susan caught wind of it. Furthermore, the baby in her


    womb was a boy.


    Susa was furious. She wanted to cut Allison into a million pieces!


    Zachary seemed to have sensed that Susan wanted to harm Allison. He hid Allison from public view,


    and Susan could not find her no matter how hard she tried. Finally, Allison sessfully gave birth to


    Luke.


    That did not change anything.


    Susan was Zachary’s legally wedded wife. She would remain as Mrs.


    Crawford as long as she did not relinquish her position, and Allison would forever be a mistress.


    When she was pregnant with Louis, Zachary died in an ident, and Allison lost her footing in the


    Crawford household.


    Susan threatened the woman with death and enticed her with money, which led to Allison marrying


    another man and her child being sent to an orphanage.


    Later, Old Master Crawford took Luke back from the orphanage on his own ord because he missed


    his dead son. He was also afraid that the young child might not be used to living in Crawford Manor,


    and he brought Allison back to the household against Susan''s wishes.


    All she could do was to use underhanded schemes to disrupt the mother and son''s lives.


    She did not expect that Luke was intelligent, capable, and hard-working: everything that Louis was not.


    Luke was also a business prodigy, which gained him the trust and favor of Old Master Crawford.


    She was afraid that she and her son''s position in the household would be reced...


    In another fortuitous twist of events, the outstanding Luke was diagnosed with depression!


    Old Master Crawford had to move him to a small town to recuperate. Later, she nned a near-fatal


    car crash in the small town, which caused him to fall into aa for an entire year.


    Somehow, the child survived the ordeal.


    After he recovered, Luke Crawford seemed to be a totally different person. He went overseas to study


    for several years.


    Old Master Crawford seemed to have noticed something and sent someone to protect Luke. Susan


    had to watch her every move.


    Moreover, her influence was limited within the country''s borders. She did not know what Luke was


    doing overseas.


    Once Luke returned to the country, he quickly took over control of Crawford Industries and cleaned out


    its ranks. All her spies were uprooted and removed from thepany.


    She was helpless against that young man''s merciless tactics...


    With his talents in business, Luke brought Crawford Industries to greater heights, multiplying its profits


    by hundreds and even thousands of times and establishing thepany as A City''s most renowned


    company. After that, he changed the name of thepany to T Corporation.


    She regretted that she did not kill him back then.


    She was helpless against that man now. All she had left was Louis, her son.


    Now, her son was asking her whether she had schemed Luke''s car crash.


    "You shouldn''t suspect your mother, my son. Everything I do is for your good. If you don''t trust your


    mother, then why should I have given birth to you? I..."


    Susan''s heart wrenched as her brain was flooded by memories of the past. She clutched her chest in


    agony and slowly slumped on the couch.


    With no other choice, she could only fake a heart attack and escape from her son''s castigation...
