"Uncle Luke's mother," Sue answered for Jason.
"Let's eat." Jason urged the children. It was best for the children not to be involved with adults' matters...
On the other hand.
Allison called Jason the moment she received his text.
The call could not get through, and she realized that she had been blocked again.
She threw the spoon on the table.
Sophian, who was sitting across from her, was startled. "Ms. Allison, what's wrong?"
"Jason blocked me!" Allison had a stern expression. She could not get over her being scammed and would not have a peaceful
sleep if she could not resolve it.
That was why she called Jason first thing in the morning.
After that, she waited for an answer.
She was not satisfied with Jason's answer, so she asked Sophian, "Where's the SIM card we bought earlier?"
"You said that the blocked number was useless, so I canceled the number and threw the SIM card away." Sophian took out a
napkin and wiped her mouth.
Allison reached out her hand and said, "Give me your phone. I'm going to ask him if he doesn't want his job anymore!"
Sophian handed Allison her phone.
Allison called Jason without a second thought.
The call rang twice before it was hung up.
"D*mn..." Allison gripped the phone tightly, and Sophian noticed the displeasure on her face.
Allison would always throw her phone when she was upset, so Sophian quickly said, "Ms. Allison, that's my phone. I don't have
the money to buy a new phone..."
Allison slammed the phone on the table.
Sophian took her phone in distress and checked it. Fortunately, she did not throw it on the floor, so her phone did not break.
Allison leaned back in her chair and folded her arms across her chest. "I'm pissed off!"
"Ms. Allison, you should have something to eat." Sophian coaxed her with a complicated mood.
Unexpectedly, even Luke's subordinates did not take Allison seriously.
If this continued, her remaining hundreds of dollars would be squandered in less than two days. At that time, they would have to
live like paupers.
She did not come back to A City with Allison to be poor.
"What did you make? It tastes horrible." Allison looked at the cereal on the table with disgust.
Sophian said in an aggrieved tone, "Ms. Allison, I have no money, so this is all I can afford..."
‘Allison only has a few hundred dollars left. What good food is she expecting to eat? She should count her blessings that we
have food on the table.’
"You don't have any money? That’s impossible. You worked in Korea for so many years! How could you not have saved a
penny?" Allison suspected that Sophian was just making an excuse by saying that she had no money.
"Ms. Allison, my salary is used for my surgeries. Didn't I tell you before? If a woman wants to have good skin, she must be willing
to spend money..." Sophian explained to her.
Even if she had money, she would not give all her money to Allison.
Although her son was rich, Luke did not share a good relationship with Allison.
"No, I have to find a way." Allison was anxious when she thought about the money she had left. She picked up his phone.
"Ms. Allison, what are you doing?" Sophian had a hunch that Allison was about to get into trouble when she saw her act.
"He doesn't want to answer my call, right? There’s someone that he’ll most definitely listen to. Pack up. I'll order a ride. Let’s
head out," Allison stood up.
Hearing that, Sophian immediately brought the bowl to her mouth and quickly finished the cereal.
She was not sure when Allison's farce would come to an end, and she did not want to starve herself.
Allison turned around and saw that Sophian was still eating, so she frowned and urged her, "Hurry up."
"I’m coming, Ms. Allison." Sophian took out a tissue, wiped her mouth, and followed behind Allison immediately.
They went to Crawford Manor.
Sophian felt like backing out when she thought of Susan. They stood outside the door of Crawford Manor, and Sophian asked,
"Ms. Allison, are we really going to go in?"
"Of course! He can only be contacted through his grandfather now." Allison took out the key and unlocked the door.
"If Old Master Crawford asks why you’re in a rush to contact Mr. Crawford..." Sophian asked cautiously. She was still worried that
Susan would tell everyone about how she tried to seduce Luke, so she wanted to stop Allison.
"I don't have money now. I can't live without it. What can't I say at this point?" Allison hurried to the main house.
Sophian bit the bullet and kept up, hoping not to bump into Susan.
She was worried that the Crawfords, known as one of the rich and famous families in A City, would exact retribution.
Allison walked into the living room and found that there was no one in the living room, not even the butler. She asked aloud,
"Where's everyone?"
The butler came out of the kitchen and greeted Allison respectfully, "Madam Allison, why are you here?"
"This is my home too. Why can't I be here?" Allison glared at the butler, her face full of resentment.
She thought that Old Master Crawford did not like her because the butler must have spoken ill of her to him.
"Nothing. Take a seat. I'll make you a cup of coffee." The butler did not forget that Allison did not like tea. She drank only coffee.
"No need. Is Dad in the bedroom?" Allison was not in the mood for coffee. She just wanted to get in touch with Luke through Old
Master Crawford.
"Old Master Crawford went to church early in the morning. He probably won't be back until noon," The butler replied.
"Why didn't you follow him to church?" Allison asked suspiciously. She also recalled that Old Master Crawford would go to
church for prayers around this time.
However, it did not seem right to her that Old Master Crawford went to the church without the butler.
"Madam Susan and Master Louis went with him, so Old Master Crawford didn't ask me to go along. I'm in charge of getting the
vegetarian meal ready at home," the butler replied.
Every New Year, Old Master Crawford would go to the church to worship. At the same time, the whole family would have to eat
vegetarian food for one day.
The butler was checking the ingredients in the kitchen just now to make sure that all the ingredients were vegetarian.
Allison nodded, still looking stern.
"Madam Allison, do you have anything urgent to talk to the old master about?” the butler asked cautiously.
Old Master Crawford had verbally told Allison not to come back, but she still did. He knew that something must have happened.
Otherwise, she would not brashly go against Old Master Crawford's orders like this.
"What does that have to do with you? I'm hungry, send some breakfast to my bedroom." Allison rolled her eyes. It was pointless
for her to do anything else since Old Master Crawford was not home.
She was facing Old Master Crawford, so she would not dare to call him and urge him to come back.
"Okay, Ma'am. However, today's breakfast may not be to your liking," the butler said. He had worked at the Crawford Manor for
so many years and knew everyone's food preferences.
"What's for breakfast?" Allison asked.
"Porridge oatmeal, plain croissant, and some muffins,” the butler replied. He knew that Allison would not enjoy any of these
options.
