Louis turned around when he was helping Susan up. He silently mouthed the word ‘sorry’ to Luke.Luke shook his head to tell him that he did not mind it.It was wrong to bring a stranger into the house. Even if Susan was deliberately finding an excuse to start the fight, he could not say that she was being unreasonable this time. Allison did not think twice before doing something, and it had made everyone unhappy.After Louis helped Susan and returned to her room, Mr. Griffin came forward and said, “Young Master Luke, Madam Allison is in her bedroom now.”“I know.” Luke headed in the direction of the stairs.Upstairs.When Lanie headed to Old Master Crawford’s study with Rainie and Tommy, they ran into Sophian."Miss, may I know who you are?" Lanie had a good memory. He remembered that no maid in Crawford Manor looked like her.“I’m a guest of the Crawford family. You’re…” Sophian looked at the three little children in front of her. They looked familiar, especially the two boy
“She has to go back. You can accompany her if you want. Perhaps you can ask the chauffeur to send you back when you need a facial treatment.” Luke insisted and left no room for negotiation.“No way. It’ll be so troublesome for me to go back and forth.” Allison immediately skipped Luke’s first suggestion and rejected the second one. “There are so many guest rooms in Crawford Manor. Why can’t you let Sophian stay here?”Luke’s voice was deep, and the expression on his face was as cold as ice. “Crawford Manor isn’t some kind of shelter. Not just anyone is allowed to come in here.”“What do you mean? Sophian is my personal nurse. She’s not a refugee.” Allison furrowed her brows and slammed the dressing table. “Bringing an unknown person into the house during the new year isn’t allowed. I’ve given you two options. You’d better consider them.” Luke stood up. He was not planning to let her continue with her nonsense. Allison leaped to her feet and said, "How dare you say my subordinate
“What news?” Allison picked up a bottle of cream and started applying it to her face in the mirror.Her skin was losing moisture several times faster than the average person, so she had to apply products like these from time to time.Skincare products like these were costly, yet she applied them generously.Sophian glanced at the maid.Allison got the hint and said to the maid, who was still tidying up, “I’d like to talk to her in private.”“Yes, Madam Allison.” The maid put down Allison’s clothes and walked out hurriedly before closing the door behind her.“My colleague said that the doctor who’s going to operate on you is Dr. Steve, but he returned to his home country a few days ago, so no one can get a hold of him. Thus, no one is aware of the surgery. Dr. Steve returned to the hospital today and my colleague found out that he’ll use new foreign technology to operate on your face. It’ll mainly be to remove the wrinkles on your skin and also to inject some stem cells for your s
“Alright.” Allison was already used to the skincare routine.Sophian placed cotton pads drenched in toner on Allison’s face before slowly asking, “So, Ms. Allison, does Luke have another woman now?”“The others think I don’t know about this, but I do. The fact that he has another woman now means that he and his dad share the same morals. No matter how deeply in love they were before, their true nature will be revealed in the end. Sophian, I brought you here to open a new door for you. It’s up to you to grasp it. You’re pretty, so if other women can approach him, you can too.”“I’ll try, Ms. Allison…” Sophian was outwardly calm, but she was shocked.She had never seen a mother encouraging a woman to seduce her son who was already married with children of his own…However, Allison’s words gave her a boost of confidence.At least when she tried to hook up with Luke, she would not have to worry about Allison being against it.…After Luke left Allison’s bedroom, he went to Old Mast
Luke knew that the old master was curious as to why he favored Luca.However, he still chose to hide it as the fewer people who knew about it, the better. Plus, Old Master Crawford would not be able to help Luca anyway.What happened in the future might only make him worry.Luke shook his head and said, “There are many things I can’t tell you in detail right now, but you’ll know later.”“It’s always this excuse. I feel like Luca isn’t just anyone. Perhaps it’s like what I guessed? Old Master Crawford continued to probe.“Grandpa, you just need to know that Luca won’t hurt you,” said Luke.“Will she hurt you, then?” Old Master Crawford asked him in reply.Luca had done many things to harm the interests of T Corporation, but Luke knew that she was forced to do so.She did not want to, but she was just being controlled.Luke said firmly, “She won’t hurt me.”Deep inside, she was still the same old Bianca.Luke could tell that every time Luca had done something wrong to T Corpor
Allison was not one to be trampled on just like that. She sat down on the chair and said to Susan, “This is my house. I can go wherever I want. Old Master Crawford is still here, yet you wish to dominate the manor yourself?”“The one who wants to take over the manor is you. You brought a stranger into the house and even appeared at the dinner table to disgust people.” Susan shook off Louis’ hand and let herself loose as Allison’s words had angered her.“If you think I’m disgusting, you can go back to your room to eat. Plus, Ms. Sophian is a guest I invited. Is this how you treat a guest?” Allison pulled Sophian’s hand, gesturing her to sit down.Sophian watched their family dispute and forced herself to sit down without saying a word.“My *ss! If anyone has to leave, it should be you. You’re just a mistress. You don’t belong in this family, so scram!” Susan was vicious. Her tone was harsh like she wanted to spit venom on Allison’s face.Every time she saw Allison, she would be rem
After Luke left the dining room, he did not see Old Master Crawford nor the kids, so he went up to the study.Sure enough, they were there.Tommy was telling jokes that were popular among children in an effort to make Old Master Crawford cheer up.Old Master Crawford was grim-faced. When he saw Luke walk in, he asked, “Are they done arguing?”“Not quite.” Luke shook his head as he was the one who forcibly put the war to rest.“So, they’re still arguing?” Old Master Crawford asked. Although he had already foreseen it happening, he was still upset that a nice New Year’s Eve dinner was ruined.“No, I’ll have someone book flight tickets to send her back to Korea tomorrow,” Luke said.Old Master Crawford shook his head. “Luke, you know that she won’t leave so quickly. Don’t waste your money. There’s no need to book the ticket.”It would not be easy for him to send Allison away if she did not want to leave.Luke frowned.It was easier to invite the devil in than to send it away. No
"Ms. Allison, aren't you worried?" Sophian noticed that Allison and Luke did not share a good relationship.Nevertheless, all of Allison's expenses were paid for by Luke.Although it was natural for a son to take care of his mother, Luke seemed to act like whoever was paying was the boss.On top of that, Luke did not care much about his mother."Do you think I've spent all these years having learned nothing? I'm Luke's mother. Although he said that, he won’t do anything to me. He told me not to come back, but I’m back anyway. If I'm not willing to leave, no one can shoo me away." Allison sat on the sofa with her legs folded together. She wanted to act like a lady.Seeing how confident she was, Sophian nodded and felt a little more relieved.She hoped that Allison would not be afraid of Luke's coercion as she claimed.After all, she did not want to return to Korea.She would wake up laughing every day if she could be Luke’s woman and live in such a big mansion.Allison touched
