Allison stood on the side of the road and waited for more than 20 minutes before she got a taxi.
After Allison and Sophian got into the car, Allison told the driver the destination and the taxi headed toward Luke's villa complex.
"Ms. Allison, are you sure that we'll be fine?" Sophian picked up her phone and looked for Luke's neighborhood.
It was a high-end community. No one could enter without the consent of the tenant.
Therefore, many celebrities and wealthy businessmen loved to live in the area as their privacy was guaranteed.
"What's wrong with me going to look for my son?" Allison said. The taxi seat was not comfortable, so she leaned against the seat
and closed her eyes. She was fuming on the inside.
Sophian kept quiet for the rest of the journey.
After half an hour, the taxi arrived at the gate of the community.
Allison paid and they got out of the car. They were stopped by the security guard before they could walk in. "No idlers are
allowed to enter."
"How do you know I'm not a tenant here?" Allison gnash her teeth with hatred as she looked at the woman walking in ahead. She
had wanted to follow her.
"You look nothing like a tenant here. Are you a reporter?" The security guard was alert. He closed the gate immediately.
"Have you ever seen a reporter like me?" Allison pointed to herself.
She was wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a mask. Her face was tightly covered for fear that the wrinkles on her face would be
seen.
Those who usually dressed as such were movie stars.
Nevertheless, the security guard stopped her as he did not think that she looked like one.
"Enough with the nonsense. If you're a tenant, swipe your card to enter. If you're not, leave."
Allison looked at the security guard blocking her who was built like a tank. She frowned and said, "Don't you act like a snob with
me. Listen carefully, my son is a tenant here. His name is Luke Crawford."
The security guard was familiar with Luke.
Throughout the past few years, many had pretended to be related to Luke. Luke was not the only victim. Many tried to
impersonate various stars and celebrities to get into the property.
The security guard would not be fooled as easily. He pointed to the pager next to him and said, "You said that you're Mr.
Crawford's family member right? You can call him and he'll open the gate for you if he allows you to come in."
"Why is it so troublesome? I've told you that I'm Luke's mother. You can just open the gate." Allison was carrying an LV bag. She
crossed her hands in front of her chest to show her dissatisfaction.
'Is he blind? I'm carrying such an expensive bag. How can he not believe that I'm Luke's mother?'
"This is the rule." The security guard gave her a contemptuous look. Usually, visitors would just press the call bell to reach out to
the respective resident. They would not waste their time going on and on while refusing to press the call bell.
"Also, there are a lot of people pretending to be Mr. Crawford's relatives and friends. How would I know if you're not one of
them?"
"You!" Allison bit her lip and walked over to the pager.
If she called Luke, there was a 100 percent chance that she would not be let inside.
Allison stomped her feet and was about to give up when she saw a familiar figure walking out.
"Aunt Neile?" She stopped the woman who was holding a vegetable basket and stepped forward to confirm if it was Aunt Neile.
Aunt Neile had worked in Crawford Manor as a maid for over a decade, so Allison recognized her.
"You're..." Allison's face was wrapped so tightly that Aunt Neile did not recognize her at first glance.
"I'm Madam Allison." Allison did not take off her mask, and her tone was a little arrogant.
Aunt Neile immediately recognized that the voice belonged to Luke's mother. She said in surprise, "Madam Allison, it's you. Why
are you here?"
"It's the New Year, so I'm here to visit Lanie and the others. After all, they're my grandchildren. I haven't seen them for some
time, so I miss them a lot. By the way, you have an access card, right? Let me in. I told the security guard that I'm Luke's mother
but he doesn't believe me." Allison saw hope and rolled her eyes at the security guard.
Aunt Neile was taken back. They had to swipe an access card to enter, but they did not need to swipe their cards to go out.
She had a card with her, and when she was about to take it out, she thought of what Luke said to Luca before she left the house.
Allison seemed to be plotting against Luke.
Fortunately, Luke was prepared, so she did not succeed. The two of them went out earlier to understand the matter better.
Aunt Neile also just saw a maid mention in their group chat that she no longer had to serve Madam Allison and could finally
return to work at Crawford Manor.
All in all, Aunt Neile believed that Allison wanted to go in to cause trouble for Luke.
It was easy to let her in, but it would be difficult to get her out. There might be a lot of trouble if she let her in...
Aunt Neile pretended to look around her body before saying, "Madam Allison, I forgot to bring the access card..."
Allison's smile disappeared as she took off her sunglasses. Her eyes, which looked like they were surrounded by ravines, stared
at Aunt Neile. "How could you've forgotten to bring the card?" "I changed into a fresh set of clothes and might've left the access
card at home. Madam Allison, you don't need the access card to leave the property. I really did forget to bring the card just now,"
Aunt Neile explained to her. She shivered from fright when she looked into Allison's eyes.
She finally understood why the maid who got to return to Crawford Manor was so happy. Allison was picky, and it would take a
long time for anyone to get used to a face like hers.
Aunt Neile averted her gaze and glanced at the security guard.
The security guard noticed and nodded slightly.
"Ring the bell and have Luke open the door. I want to go in," Allison ordered Aunt Neile.
Aunt Neile glanced at the time and said anxiously, "Oh no, Madam Allison, you can ring the bell if you want to visit Mr. Crawford.
But I have to rush to the market as there's no meat in the refrigerator at home. They'll run out of the good stuff if I'm late. Young
Master Tommy won't be happy about that. I have to go. Madam Allison, you're staying here for dinner, right? I'll buy more meat."
She quickly left after she finished her sentence.
Allison could not stop her. She looked at Aunt Neile as she walked off and turned to look at Sophian, who had a dull expression.
"Why didn't you stop her just now?"
"I..." Sophian hesitated to speak. She did not expect that the maid had respectfully greeted Allison but dared to disobey her...
After all, no one wanted to lose their job, but she did not expect Aunt Neile to disobey Allison without a second thought. She
walked off as though a wild beast was chasing her.
She did not know how to respond.
"Are you done sleepwalking?!" Allison was annoyed that Sophian was always slow. She thought that things might not end up as
such if she had moved faster.
She looked at the security guard and said, "Now do you believe I'm Luke's mother? Open the door for me."
"You'll need Mr. Crawford's approval to enter even if you're his mother." The security guard made a gesture toward the pager.
