"Susan, you're not any better, you biddy." Allison would not back off as she took the candle handed over by the butler."You..." Susan was about to make a scene when Old Master Crawford scolded angrily, "Was yesterday not enough? Do you want to argue in front of the ancestors today too?"Allison looked at Susan provocatively.Susan clenched her fists and wished she could slap Allison in front of the ancestors’ and Zachary's tablets.After Allison placed the candle in front of the ancestors’ tablet, she put the remaining candles in front of Zachary's tablet.The people around her were watching, so she wiped away her crocodile tears and said, "Zachary, how have you been?"Susan frowned.Zachary had been gone for so many years. She did not understand why Allison chose to put on a show now. ‘No one will believe you. Stop humiliating yourself. When Allison saw that no one intended to talk to her, she continued her performance and lay on the table before she started crying. "You l
Sophian looked anxious and awkward. She opened her mouth to explain. "Ms. Allison, didn’t you—"Allison looked stern and scolded her coldly, "I didn't tell you to seduce Luke!"Sophian was interrupted and dared not speak again.She felt wronged!After all, Allison had hinted at her to take her chance.Although she did not think it through, she took the initiative to show Luke that she was interested. She thought that it was what Allison hinted for her to do!How could she be Luke's woman if she did not take action?Susan was enjoying the show. She said, "Allison, stop acting innocent. If you hadn’t agreed to it, how could the person you brought here dare to do this? If Old Master Crawford finds out, I wonder what he’ll think of you?"Old Master Crawford had always been strict with Luke, including the matters of his private life.He did not allow the successor he had cultivated to have a bad lifestyle. If Old Master Crawford found out that Allison allowed Sophian to go to Luke’
Louis nodded. It was fine as long as Old Master Crawford came back on the second day of the new year.After all, many would be visiting. All of them wanted to build a good relationship to obtain corresponding benefits in T Corporation.Since Luke was not at Crawford Manor, Old Master Crawford had to be there.After about five minutes, Old Master Crawford walked slowly to the living room with the help of his cane. The butler stood beside him and carried a travel bag containing Old Master Crawford's clothes and other personal items."Did you pack everything?" Luke asked the butler.The butler nodded and replied, "Yes, I got everything.""I don’t need a lot of things. After all, I’m only spending a night there. I’ll be back the next day. Nothing to worry about," Old Master Crawford said. He did not think that they needed to prepare everything."Great-grandpa, let's go." Rainie stepped forward and grabbed Old Master Crawford's free hand."Okay, let's go." Old Master Crawford smiled
Sophian noticed her acting odd and asked curiously, "Ms. Allison, what happened?"Allison ignored her, turned around, stopped the chauffeur who was about to leave, and said, "I want to go back to Crawford Manor. Take me back.""Madam Allison, I'm sorry. Old Master Crawford said that you have to stay here for now. I need to make a move now." The driver stuck his head out of the car and told her. The road ahead was blocked, so he backed up and left.Allison watched the car leave and stomped. "I'm pissed off!""Ms. Allison, don't be angry..." Sophian hurriedly soothed her temper.Allison glared at her. ‘If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have been kicked out of Crawford Manor in such an embarrassing manner!’She finally got the opportunity to go back, but she only stayed for a night before she was shooed back. Allison looked at the villa in front of her. She used to think that it was luxurious, but now, she thought it looked like a dumpster.She pressed her thumb against the finge
Sophian did not dare to speak when she saw that Allison was frowning.10 minutes later, the maid brought the instant pot pie and put it on the coffee table. "Madam Allison, breakfast is ready."Allison looked at the ready-to-eat pot pie in front of her. She frowned and said, "Is this the pot pie you bought at the supermarket? I want to eat fresh ones made by you."The maid felt cornered and replied, "Madam Allison, we have no ingredients in the villa to make pot pies. If you want to eat fresh ones, I’d need to go to the supermarket to buy ingredients.""Why didn't you prepare for anything?!" Allison scolded her. She was dissatisfied with the maid's efficiency."Madam Allison, I thought that you would be spending the new year at Crawford Manor, so I didn't prepare much. If you’re not satisfied with what we have, I’ll go to the supermarket to buy groceries now," the maid said quickly. She was scared of Allison's reprimand and her horrifying face.Her face was terrifying. It had wri
Sophian was surprised when she heard how Allison described Bianca.Sophian had always thought that successful men like Luke preferred sexy and alluring women. She did not expect he would like women who were pure and innocent.She lowered her head and looked at her body figure. There was no way her curvy figure could look innocent. She could only change her makeup style to make her look that way.“I got it,” replied Sophian.Allison raised her brows, looked at her, and asked, “Although Bianca looks innocent, her tricks aren’t innocent at all. She found ways to get closer to Luke and gave birth to two children. Only then was she acknowledged as his wife. So, let me tell you, he might not like pure and innocent women. It’s just that her tricks happened to work on him.” Sophian wanted to tell her that being good at wheedling was considered amazing too as long as she could attract Luke.However, Sophian dared not to say such things in front of Allison when she had shown so much hatre
"Sit down. Let me get it for you," replied Luca. She did not put the snacks she made this morning at the usual spot where the children took their snacks.Tommy nodded. He returned to the living room and sat on the sofa.Rainie lifted her hand, tapped on Tommy's nose with her fingers, and laughed at him, "Tommy, you're a greedy little boy."“I’m not. Ms. Luca makes good and tasty snacks.” Tommy stuck out his tongue.“That’s true. Ms. Luca makes the best snacks.” Rainie nodded and agreed with him. She could not blame Tommy for being greedy. Their mother was too good at making their snacks.Tommy nodded and replied, “Great-grandpa loves them too.”“Tommy, I don’t like to eat snacks.” Old Master Crawford shook his head and explained.“But Great-grandpa, I heard you telling Mr. Griffin that you like eating Ms. Luca’s homemade food. That’s why you came here to have a taste of Ms. Luca’s homemade food.” Tommy tilted his head. He had heard what the old master told Mr. Griffin when they
Old Master Crawford put down the vegetable juice and turned to look at the TV. It was replaying the New Year Gala from last night, so he asked, “Isn’t this last night’s New Year Gala?”Luca nodded. She smiled and explained, “I fell asleep when I was watching it last night. I didn’t manage to finish the show. I turned on the TV and watched the replay when I was bored just now.” “The New Year Gala last night was interesting,” Old Master Crawford said. Then, he picked up another snack. It was not a cookie this time but Luca’s homemade nougat.Although it was a nougat, Luca had used a sugar substitute and sugar-free marshmallows. “Yes. It was awesome. Ms. Luca, how could you have fallen asleep?” Tommy grinned and looked at Luca, waiting for her reply.Luca was rendered speechless. There was no way she could tell him that she fell asleep while watching the show because it was too quiet.“It was probably because I did some exercise, so I was tired.” Luca found an excuse to brush him
