Louis returned to his study. He began packing up hisputer. In his mind, he was thinking that he


    should start backing up important files to his private cloud storage.


    If something like this happened again, it wouldn''t hurt for him toy low outside for a few days.


    Louis had always felt this way, especially since Susan had been forced to move here by Old Master


    Crawford. Her temper had worsened significantly. He could not afford to provoke her, but at least he


    could escape if needed.


    After packing up hisputer andpany documents, Louis put his personal documents in his


    briefcase. He nned to go to his bedroom to change his clothes before leaving. However, he ran into


    Susan.


    The moment Susan saw him, her face darkened and she asked, "What are you back for?"


    Louis wanted to tell her that this was his house. Why could he note back?


    However, if he said that, Susan would surely lose her temper again. He had no choice but to smooth


    things over with her. "Mom, you''re still upset."


    "How can I not be upset when I have a son as worthless as you?" Susan was furious. When she was


    reminded of what Louis said to her yesterday, it only made her angrier.


    "Since you like that lousypany so much, you can just stay there from now on. Don''te back.


    Get lost.”


    A ze of anger surged within Louis instantly. He was not just sitting around doing nothing. His


    company was doing well, and his ie managed to cover Susan''s expenses. Why did she think it


    was wrong for him not to work at T Corporation?


    In Susan''s eyes, even though he was running apany with nearly a hundred employees, he was


    nothing but garbage.


    Louis was puzzled. He was simply pursuing his dream. Why could he not earn her approval?


    Old Master Crawford, who had always been strict with his grandsons, praised his current endeavors.


    Yet, Susan was different...


    Louis felt unappreciated for his efforts. He was even treated as if he were useless. He was unhappy


    about it.


    Even though he was an adult, gaining his mother''s approval was still important to him.


    Louis'' eyes reddened as he anticipated a major showdown between him and his mother.


    Just then, Yuri''s voice broke the tension. "Mother, please calm down. Louis is following his dream. Let


    him persist for a while. Thepany is doing well, and who knows? One day, it might surpass T


    Corporation."


    Yuri tried to appeal to Susan''s emotions.


    However, Susan clearly was not buying it. She sneered, "Surpass? With this crummy smallpany?


    T Corporation is the result of three generations of hard work.

    "How can his small and lousypany ever surpass it? He doesn''t know how to leverage such vast


    resources and even handed thepany over to that vixen''s son. How can I have such a foolish son?"


    If it were not for Louis and Zachary''s resemnce, she would have suspected that Allison had bribed


    the hospital to switch the babies.


    Louis'' face turned as red as a beet. Was she really his mother? How could she say such harsh words?


    It was as though she had been possessed by some evil spirit and had be apletely different


    person.


    Previously, Susan used to speak sharply to others, but her harshness was mainly directed at Allison


    and Luke.


    Now, Susan''s unkindness wasing at Louis at full throttle. No matter how patient Louis was, there


    was no way he could endure this kind of taunting.


    "Mother!" Yuri felt ufortable as well when she heard such things. After all, Louis was her husband.


    She could not stand by and let her husband be insulted.


    However, the one criticizing Louis happened to be Susan. There was nothing much she could say. She


    had the highest seniority here.


    Yuri had no choice but to say, "T Corporation isn''t going anywhere. Since Louis still wants to continue


    managing hispany, just let him do it. When thepany reaches a higher level, he can let go of it


    and go back to work at T Corporation."


    She was not necessarily suggesting that Louis should do that, but she had to calm Susan down.


    Otherwise, Susan might continue to say harsh things, leading to another family feud.


    Having been Louis'' confidant for so many years, Yuri knew the signs of his anger. If she did not


    intervene here, a major family battle would erupt.


    "Wait for him? How long should we wait? By then, all the resources will probably be taken by Luke


    Crawford. Louis will just be ackey if he goes back!" Susan growled.


    "I''m not going back! I want to run my ownpany. You can either take it or leave it!" Louis dered.


    He no longer wanted to change his clothes and went straight downstairs.


    Instead of enduring Susan''s anger here, it was better to return to hispany.


    He could stay at the Dunn''s family ce with Yuri. Otherwise, he could just stay in a hotel. That would


    still be better than being at home.


    Susan watched as Louis left, standing there with her hands on her hips. She yelled at him from behind,


    "Fine! Go and run yourpany. Leave here. When you''re gone, I''ll pretend I never had a son like you!


    Get lost!"


    "Oh, Mother, why are you saying such nonsense? Louis is still your son.” Yuri became anxious. She


    could not pull Louis back now. If the mother and son continued their conversation, it would only make


    things worse.


    She was in a tight spot.


    People said that daughters-inw and mothers-inw could not get along well, but now it was clear that


    even sons and their mothers could not get along. As a daughter-inw, Yuri had no solution to this


    problem.


    If Susan had been arguing with Louis because of her, it might have been easier to resolve.


    In this case, it was a dispute between mother and son about Louis''pany. Neither of them was


    willing to back down. This made the situation moreplicated.


    "That useless thing! If he''s not willing to work at T Corporation, I''ll pretend I never had him as a son!"


    Susan''s face turned bright red with anger as her chest heaved. It seemed like she could not catch her


    breath.


    "Ah, Mother, please calm down. I''ll talk to Louis. Mothers and sons shouldn''t bear grudges," replied


    Yuri. She did not want to stay and be the target of Susan''s rant. She quickly went downstairs.


    When she saw the maid who stood downstairs, she said, "Take good care of Madam Crawford."


    "Yes." Even though the housemaid was standing downstairs, she had overheard their entire


    conversation.


    After Yuri left, she shook her head helplessly and thought that Master Louis was in a tough spot. Even


    though Old Master Crawford supported his career, Susan refused to ept it.


    She often believed that the old master''s support was to prevent Louis frompeting with Luke. That


    way, the brothers could get along peacefully, and Luke''s position would be safe at the same time.


    Susan thought the old master was showing a bias in Luke''s favor.


    However, the maid believed that Old Master Crawford genuinely doted on Louis and supported him in


    pursuing the career he desired.


    She had worked in the Crawford family for many years. She knew how aimless Louis was before he got


    married, even back when he was employed at T Corporation.


    If he had been at any otherpany, he would have been fired long ago.


    After he got married and started his favorite career, his aimlessness slowly faded. He became


    dedicated to his chosen field, unlike before.


    The maid believed that Susan should be happy because Louis was improving, after all.


    However, Susan was in strong disagreement and not even pleased...


    The maid could not get it.
