"Hmph, how could Madam have such strength? If you keep talking nonsense, I'm going to tear your arm off," warned the man as
he cracked his own knuckles.
Silas shivered again, not daring to say another word. However, deep in his heart, he could not help but criticize them claiming
that Karen had no such strength. It was only because they had not experienced it themselves.
Karen had some serious strength behind her slaps!
At Crawford Manor, Luke and his family of five planned to leave after having lunch with Old Master Crawford.
When they were about to leave, they ran into Susan, who was returning to Crawford Manor.
When Susan saw Luke and the others, she instantly remembered the humiliation she endured at Luke's house on Friday
evening.
She could not help but say enigmatically, "I was wondering why you were sorting out the herbs. It turns out you're here to please
the old master. Are the herbs a gift for the old master?"
Luke frowned, while Luca stared at her. Just as he was about to speak, Mr. Griffin answered on behalf of her.
"Ms. Craw brought some herbs over for Old Master Crawford to nurture his health," replied Mr. Griffin, his tone tinged with
admiration.
Even though Luca's gesture was to please the old master, it was much better than others who tried to gain favor by sending
expensive antiques or supplements. The herbs were beneficial for the old master's health if they were used correctly.
This kind of gesture was much more effective in winning the old master's favor compared to those who tried to please him with
expensive antiques or supplements.
This behavior, in the butler's eyes, was commendable.
"Old Master Crawford accepted them?" Susan saw Luke holding hands with Luca and remembered her earlier attempt to warn
him about his behavior. Instead of being grateful, he continued to stay close to this woman.
They said a woman's charms would bring disaster. Susan secretly thought that Luke would eventually be taken down by a
woman like Luca.
However, Susan felt that it did not matter even if Luke was harmed by a woman like Luca as long as it did not affect the Crawford
family. There was still Louis, after all.
When Louis became the pillar of the Crawford family, he would have to come back and take over the company.
"He accepted them. Old Master Crawford is very satisfied with Ms. Craw's thoughtfulness," replied Mr. Griffin. Even though Luca
was a stranger, she wanted the old master to be healthy and live a long life.
Regardless of whether this stranger did it to please Luke or not, her intention was ultimately good and indeed beneficial to the
old master.
However, a certain someone had been the Crawford family's daughter-in-law for decades, yet she tried to put the old master's
health at risk.
Susan managed to smooth things over with an excuse that time, and Old Master Crawford even spent some effort to suppress
the news. The incident left a deep impression in both the old master's and the butler's minds.
No matter what Susan did, they became cautious whenever they thought about the incident. Even the supplements she bought
back were untouched by the old master.
No matter how good they were, he would not touch them, and he would not give them away either, fearing that they might harm
someone. Usually, the supplements would be discreetly disposed of when there was a chance to do so.
"Oh, they're just some herbs and Old Master Crawford is already satisfied? Don't blame me for saying this, but you need to be
careful with those herbs. You never know if some ill-intentioned person is trying to take advantage and put the old master's
health at risk."
Susan spoke enigmatically as she looked at Luca with a sly gaze.
Even with Luke present, she did not hesitate to confront Luca.
After all, in her eyes, she was an elder. Whatever she said seemed to carry a bit of weight.
At least that was how Susan perceived it.
Luca's fingers tightened. When Susan made those remarks, she had the urge to retaliate. However, saying those things in front
of the butler would only put Luke in a difficult position.
Not to mention that regardless of whether the butler knew her true identity was Bianca or not, she had no grounds to argue with
her.
Mr. Griffin frowned and secretly thought that Susan's words were really unpleasant.
"Madam Crawford, Old Master Crawford's health has indeed improved a lot after Ms. Craw's treatment. That's why he trusts her
for his care." Mr. Griffin spoke up for Luca. "Whether the herbs work or not, the old master will find out in his daily trials."
"Trials?" Susan deliberately used an exaggerated tone. "You're actually treating the old master's body as an experimental tool?"
Mr. Griffin was startled for a moment. He did not expect her to misinterpret his meaning like that.
Before Mr. Griffin went to bed last night, he had already checked the herbs Luca sent and consulted a trustworthy naturopathic
doctor. It was confirmed that these herbs were safe to consume together with attention to the proper dosage.
Mr. Griffin had shown the corresponding dosage to the naturopathic doctor, who confirmed it was safe. Moreover, the
combination of these herbs was beneficial for the body, especially for middle-aged and elderly people.
At the same time, the naturopathic doctor was amazed by the recipe Mr. Griffin had sent, stating that this kind of herbal cuisine
combination was even more effective.
He even asked for all the recipes, claiming that they would be beneficial for the overall health of most middle-aged and elderly
patients.
That was why Mr. Griffin had complete confidence in the herbs and recipes sent by Luca.
"I believe in Luca's capabilities. What's wrong with that?" In the midst of the silence, the voice of Old Master Crawford rang out.
Old Master Crawford spoke energetically as he strolled toward them with his cane. He looked at Susan with a displeased
expression.
"Father... You can't just randomly take the medicine given by strangers. I'm doing this for your own good," said Susan as she
threw Luca a jealous look.
As the person targeted, Luca remained calm with a peaceful expression.
Did she think there were many people defending her? Was that why she was so calm?
Susan became even more infuriated when she saw that Luke and Luca were holding each other's hands.
"Hmph, for my good? If I shouldn't take herbal medicine from strangers, then should I take the ones you give me? Would taking
the herbal medicine you give me make me healthy? Do they have miraculous effects?" questioned Old Master Crawford.
He would recall that incident every time Susan brought up the topic of herbal medicine.
If it were not for Luca, he might still be consuming those excessively blood-boosting medicines.
His health would have only gotten worse if he had not rested well.
Susan intended to say yes, but recalling the scheme she plotted back then, she had no choice but to awkwardly mumble,
"Father, that's not what I meant."
"What brings you back here today?” Old Master Crawford did not want to continue discussing the herbs with her to avoid any
chance of getting upset.
He could not help but feel annoyed at the thought of his daughter-in-law treating him this way.
"Isn't today the weekend? I came back just to visit you. I didn't expect Luke to bring a stranger with him," grumbled Susan.
In spoken and unspoken words, she was blaming Luke for bringing a stranger home and insinuating the potential impact it could
have on the Crawford family. "There are so many valuable things in the house. It's not a good idea to bring anyone in."
"Oh? Going by your logic, maybe you shouldn't come back either. Leave, then. With so many valuable things at home, you'll be
implicated too if something goes missing."
Old Master Crawford, sensing her knack for finding faults, decided to go along with her words and asked her to leave.
Susan widened her eyes. This was not the result she wanted!
"Father, I'm not an outsider."
"Yes, you're Louis' mother, but you don't live in Crawford Manor anymore. Don't come back unless necessary." Old Master
Crawford continued to drive her away. Then, he instructed the maid nearby, "Give it to Luke."
