Chapter 597 There Is No Use Objecting

Allison was unhappy when she thought of the possibility that her son had registered his marriage

with Bianca without informing Old Master Crawford.

However, she felt slightly more relieved when she remembered that Old Master Crawford had kept

Luke's driver's license in a secure place.

Old Master Crawford had been prejudiced against Bianca ever since she rejected Luke's proposal.

He would not allow his grandson to marry Bianca!

Luke walked with Bianca over to the couch and sat down. "Grandfather," he greeted Old Master

Crawford.

"Mm," Old Master Crawford replied. The harsh lines on his face became gentle when he glanced at

Bianca's bulging stomach. "The stomach is already so big. Did the doctor say when's the expected

date of delivery?"

Luke held Bianca's hand and said gently, "The expected delivery date is October 26th."

"That's coming soon. Don't let her go to work, and get her to stay at home and rest. She shouldn't

overwork herself; there's not much money to be made anyway!" Old Master Crawford said coldly.

However, Bianca could hear his concern in his tone of voice.

"Thank you for your concern, Old Master Crawford. I'll rest at home when it's closer to the delivery

date. It's not tiring to go to the office, and Luke isn't assigning a lot of work to me anyway. I can still

take it.”

Allison grunted unhappily. "How pretentious!"

Susan daintily picked up a teacup while looking at Allison mockingly. "Even if she's pretentious,

she’s still working hard and not relying on men, unlike some women who insist on being another

man's mistress and destroying a harmonious family. Those women are worse than leeches...”

Allison glared at Susan. "Who are you talking about, Susan? Do you think that I'm deaf? Who can

you blame if you can't retain a man's heart? Let me warn you, you'd better watch your words! Look

at Susan, Father. She's picking on me!"

She began to complain to Old Master Crawford.

Luke's brows were tightly furrowed as he sat on the couch.

Bianca's palm rested on the back of his hand. Her gentle touch made him feel better.

His head was slightly lowered, and he looked at the scenery outside the window as he held Bianca's

hand.

The two women's quarrel gave Old Master Crawford a headache. He stuck his pipe into his mouth

and dragged it hard.

He rubbed his aching forehead and said, "That's enough from you two. The children are at home!"

Allison did not give up. "You saw it yourself, Father. Susan is the one who's always picking on me.

Shouldn't I defend myself? I know that you favor Susan, but the way you play favorites is too

blatant! You don't know how much I've suffered in the household ever since Zach left us. Without

Luke, I don't know how badly I'd be bullied...”

Old Master Crawford's hands were trembling because of anger. "How dare you say that! What do

you mean when you say that you've been suffering? Did we starve you, or are you short of spending

money? You've been living the high life in the Crawford family for all these years. Are you still not

satisfied? If you hadn't inserted yourself between Zach and Susan back then, why would they argue?

Would Zach have gotten himself in a car crash? Can't you just bear with Susan?"

Allison was furious at Old Master Crawford's obvious partiality!

Before she could throw another tantrum, she heard Old Master Crawford reprimand Susan. "Stop

bringing up the past when it's not important anymore... The children are already adults, and it's time

that Louis finds a life partner. At your age, you should have been a grandmother. Why are you still

hung up over certain things? Those who have passed away won't come back. What's the point of

bickering?"

"It's not that I want to bicker, Father, but whenever I see Allison's face, I think of those filthy deeds

she did with Zachary! I can't accept that her child is older than Louis by two years! If I hadn't

convinced my parents to bail out Crawford Industries, the Crawford family would have gone

bankrupt! Louis is already 28 years old, but he's being neglected in the company. I can't bear to see

that happen to my son..."

Susan was plotting something!

She hoped that Old Master Crawford still felt guilty toward her, and she could ask for some tangible

benefits for Louis.

Old Master Crawford would be sympathetic toward her son. If he would pass away and control of T

Corporation was still in Allison and her son's hands, Susan and Louis would definitely be forced out

of the family!

Allison gloated as she pointed a finger at Susan. "What does your son know other than flirting with

women? You can give him a gold mine, and he'll squander it all away. Don't tell me that you want to

leave the company in his hands! You're the one who gave birth to a useless child, and you only have

yourself to blame!"

Susan was about to retort when Luke spoke to Old Master Crawford, "Grandfather, Louis is learning

how to manage a business now. He is smart, and he is improving very quickly. Now, he is working in

the sales department. When it's time, I'll let him manage the entire sales department.”

Old Master Crawford nodded, satisfied. "Mm. The two of you are brothers, and you should love and

respect each other. That boy Louis is a playful one, and you, as his elder brother, should take care of

him."

"Yes, Grandfather."

The sales department was arguably the most important in every company. Old Master Crawford

could see that Luke thought highly of Louis.

Old Master Crawford's greatest wish was to see his two grandsons growing the company together.

He had given up hope that his two daughters-in-law would live in peace, so he chose to ignore their

constant quibbling.

Susan was satisfied after hearing Luke's words.

Allison was not familiar with business management and decided not to raise a fuss.

However, she almost got a heart attack when she heard what Luke said next. "Grandfather, Mother, I

want to inform you that I have already registered my marriage with Bianca. After she delivers the

baby, we shall have a grand wedding ceremony.”

"What? My son, did you... you really register your marriage with that seductress?" Allison bounced

from the couch, and her eyes were almost spitting fire. "That's impossible. Where did you get your

driver's license?"

Luke draped his arm over Bianca's shoulder and regarded his mother coldly. "That's none of your

business, Mother. Bianca is now your daughter-in-law, and there is no use objecting.”

Old Master Crawford glanced at Bianca's bulging stomach. He frowned and sighed, but at times he

seemed relieved. No one knew what he was thinking...
