"My choices have always been rational. As for the Norman family and other matters, I'm confident I can handle them well. Regarding the company and my personal matters, you don't need to worry about them," said Luke as he rose to his feet.

He did not explicitly ask her to leave, but every sentence he uttered hinted at her departure.

"Hmph, you don't know what's good for you." Susan gave a cold snort and left.

"Madam Crawford, my maid has finished her shift. Could you please help close the door when you leave?" Luca could not help but say.

When her mind was in turmoil, Susan showed up in front of her.

By not completely shutting her down, it was already a kind gesture for the Crawford family's sake.

Besides, considering her current personality, if the other person was not a member of Luke's family, she might have just walked away without wasting half a minute on their nonsense.

Susan cast a malicious glance back. She watched both of them stand up, shoulder to shoulder.

In terms of height and appearance, they were a good match.

However, what did it matter?

Luke had Bianca. It seemed like Luca's fate had already been written. She was destined to become a weeping loser.

Susan's figure disappeared in the foyer, and Luca's smile slowly faded as she turned to look at Luke. "Did you hear everything?"

"Yes." Luke nodded.

"Why were you hiding behind the stairs?" Luca could not help but wonder as she walked into the kitchen. She had been chatting with Susan for quite some time, and she was thirsty.

"She initially came looking for you. If I hadn't hidden behind the stairs, she wouldn't have had the chance to finish her speech. She'd come bother you again tomorrow. It's better to give her a chance to say everything at once," replied Luke as he followed her into the kitchen.

He knew what Susan was up to, but no matter how foolish she might be, she would not betray the interests of the Crawford family. Therefore, he did not intend to pay her any attention.

However, he did not expect her to have the audacity to come looking for Luca after what happened at Crawford Manor.
