After hearing what the children said, Luca knew that Susan must havee with ill intentions. She told


    the 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 time


    working 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 of


    whether 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 first


    floor.


    "Okay!" said Tommy first.


    When Luca saw the kids go upstairs, she added, "Oh, ask your father toe downstairs and tell him


    that your grandma is here."


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    "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 toe


    in.


    The structure of both their homes was the same. Although the gardenndscape was different, the


    mansion was not big enough for people to get lost in it. Susan managed to quickly make her way


    inside.


    She saw Luca when entering the porch, and her eyes zed 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 the


    slippers 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 see


    you."


    Luca was not surprised to hear that. Besides, Luke was the CEO of T Corporation and the person in


    charge of the Crawford family. Susan would note to cause amotion over a small matter.


    At least Old Master Crawford could still bring her under control. If Susan were to offend Luke in any


    way, things would not end up well for her.


    Therefore, she came to ruffle Luca''s feathers instead.


    Luca had already epted her fate of getting picked on.


    Besides, when she was still Bianca, she had suffered Susan''s criticisms and her efforts to make life


    difficult for her. Although she had not experienced it for several years now, Susan''s methods were still


    familiar to her.


    “Mrs. Crawford, would you like some tea while we talk?" Although she came with ill intentions, it was


    still 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 the


    same about Luke!


    With Susan''s nitpicking personality, she did not want to hear Susanin about the poor hospitality


    at their ce 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 to


    death.


    At the very least, Luca should be like Allison, who was fearless and acted as if it was an honor being


    the mistress.


    However, Luca was neither. After Susan gave it some thought, she felt that Luca had already thought of


    herself as thedy of the house.


    How ridiculous!


    "No need." Susan did note here to drink tea. She invited herself in and sat on the sofa as if she


    was 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''ve


    read the reports about you and Luke, and they''re badly affecting the Crawford family and T


    Corporation.


    "Before it got exposed, I didn''t say anything as I''m not Luke''s biological mother. But things are different


    now. 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 thedder," Susan spoke with varying intonation, a lot of emotion, and


    the 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 wishe true.


    "Mrs. Crawford, I''ve never wanted to climb up the socialdder. I''m just enjoying the present. Those


    reports aren''t true. It''s not like what you think, so you don''t have to worry. Luke will take care of it," Luca


    said 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 once


    said that you and Luke didn''t have that kind of rtionship, nor did you intend to have that kind of


    rtionship. 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''re


    going to suffer in the end." “People change, Mrs. Crawford," Luca told her with a serious look on her


    face, but she was still wondering why Luke had note down.


    Did Rainie not tell him? Rainie was a meticulous child, so she would not have forgotten.


    Did he note 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. She


    could just unplug the doorbell camera if Susan kept on ringing, and she would not even know.


    Now that Luke had note 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 of


    Bianca, did note to her first. Instead, it was Susan...


    Susan could not suppress her anger when she saw Luca''s calm expression. "Yes, people change. Just


    like how you''re getting greedier and greedier.


    "Do you think that you can rece Luke''s wife and marry into the Crawford family? Let me tell you that


    you 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 who


    cares if they all called Allison ''Mrs. Crawford''?


    "Their rtionship was never recognized by thew. His father has left for so many years now, and


    Allison''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 you


    behind your back anyway."
