After all these years in the Crawford family, Susan had become quite skilled at wearing such a mask. She added, "Didn't something unpleasant happen today? I thought I'd come back to keep you company."

Old Master Crawford could not be bothered to expose her. Her hurried return clearly indicated that she had learned about Luke's return from someone's lips.

Otherwise, it would not have been such a coincidence.

"What's there to chat about? Let's eat first." The old master's tone was not good. He initially planned to discuss the company's development with Luke again but did not expect her to return. Her arrival had interrupted their conversation.

Old Master Crawford hated being disturbed by unrelated people and matters when he was in a business discussion—unless it was an extremely urgent matter.

Otherwise, no matter who disrupted him, the result would be the same.

Susan opened her mouth, but Mr. Griffin's voice sounded. "Old Master Crawford, Madam, Master Luke, dinner is ready."

Susan's face immediately darkened, annoyed that her words were interrupted before she could speak. She glared at Mr. Griffin.

Mr. Griffin had long grown accustomed to Susan's habit of giving him stern looks. He kept his smile on his face, unaffected by her warning gaze.

"Let's have dinner first," said Old Master Crawford, understanding that Susan did not have a proper reason for her return.

Luke remained silent and followed Old Master Crawford to the dining room.

Susan watched the two of them as they walked away. She stopped Mr. Griffin. "There's something I'd like to ask."

Mr. Griffin halted and watched the two of them for several seconds from behind before turning to Susan. His head was slightly lowered. "Madam, how can I help you?"

"Were the old master and Luke in the study just now?" asked Susan. Even though she had already inquired with the maid, she wanted to confirm with the butler.

Mr. Griffin nodded. "Yes, Old Master Crawford and Master Luke were in the study discussing matters."
