The following day.

Susan yawned while making her way down the stairs. She could not sleep after waking up in the middle of the night. The heat in her body went away not long ago. She wanted to rest more but did not feel like sleeping anymore, so she thought of getting up and keeping an eye on Luke and Luca.

"Good morning, Madam Crawford." Mr. Griffin noticed how pale Susan was, and he understood why she was looking pale.

Susan must have had a hard time trying to fall asleep last night. After all, she took the medicine that the old master had asked someone to prescribe. Even though she was a middle-aged woman, it was hard to resist the effects of the medicine.

"Is breakfast ready?" Susan asked.

"Mrs. Nancy is still on it," Mr. Griffin lowered his head and answered.

Susan complained, "She's still making breakfast? What's wrong with her working efficiency?"

Mr. Griffin glanced at the time, lowered his head, and replied respectfully, "Madam Crawford, Mrs. Nancy didn't know you'd be waking up this early today."

He did not tell her that it was still early in the morning. If Susan heard him saying this, she would point at him and say that it was just an excuse to slack off.

Susan sneered. There was only Mr. Griffin and her in the living room. It looked like the other maids had not come to work yet.

She had indeed woken up early today, but she would not allow that to be a

reason. She said, "Ask Mrs. Nancy to speed up and prepare breakfast earlier next time."

"Yes," replied Mr. Griffin. Although he agreed with her, he was not planning to listen to her instructions.

The time to prepare breakfast in Crawford Manor was usually based on Old Master Crawford's routine. He was normally the earliest to wake up, after all. Breakfast would be served just in time after the old master woke up. This was to ensure the breakfast was freshly made and would not go cold.

Susan had no choice but to sit on the sofa while waiting for breakfast to be served. When Mr. Griffin was about to do his work, he heard Susan ask him, "Did anything happen in Crawford Manor last night?"

"What do you mean?" Mr. Griffin paused and turned around to face her respectfully.
