Susan let out a sigh of relief as a surge of anger boiled inside her. She could not help but lash out at Louis, "Are you crazy? Have you been bewitched by Luke?"

"Mom!" Yuri's headache worsened. Louis was still annoyed, but he refrained from causing a scene for Thea's sake.

If Susan continued to stir things up like this, Yuri knew he would not be able to suppress the urge to go mad.

Louis glared at Susan with a darkened expression.

It gave Susan the creeps. She even had a feeling that she would be taken to see Old Master Crawford right away if she did not calm things down.

"Hmph," Susan snorted coldly. Then, she turned around and headed to her bedroom.

The door was slammed shut with a loud bang.

Yuri heaved a sigh, knowing what had really happened just now. It was Susan's fault, but Louis had chosen to confront her on this special day. It was a bad idea to do so.

Even though they were not holding a big party, the guests who would be coming today were either their relatives or close friends...

"Mom shouldn't have done that. But she's just unhappy about Luke. Besides, she was forced to leave Crawford Manor, and she's upset about it. Let's just let things slide. Your grandfather won't be pleased if you make a fuss about it," Yuri whispered to him, trying to calm him down.

Old Master Crawford came across Louis' mind.

Not only did he have to protect Thea's image, but he also had to save Old Master Crawford's face.

If they argued about this in front of the old master and made people laugh at them, it would only tarnish the family's reputation.

He was too angry to consider this just now.
