Chapter 1499

Allison’s pulse was steady, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

Luca stared at the peeling skin on Allison’s face and asked, “Have you taken any special medication orused any uncommon products before you arrived at the prison?”

Allison smiled contemptuously and said, “I only take big-brand health supplements. Are theseconsidered special medications?”

“Can you tell me what you consumed?” Luca guessed that her condition had something to do with herlifestyle before she went to jail.

“There’s no problem when others take it, so why would it be a problem when I take it? All of theskincare products and cosmetics that I use are branded. You can’t afford them.” Allison did not forget toshow off as she spoke.

Luca reacted neither haughtily nor humbly. She did not humor Allison but instead asked, “Can you tellme the brands that you use? Also, does this only affect your face?”

Allison frowned and replied, “Yes, it only affects my face. It was three years ago, so I don’t rememberthe details. I don’t remember anything. I’m not allowed to use those things here. I think my skin is usedto the good stuff so when I came to prison, my skin didn’t adapt to my surroundings. Maybe that’s whyit became like this.”

One’s skin would get worse if it did not get the nutrients it deserved, but it would not deteriorate to thestate that Allison was in.

Luca noticed that she was extremely uncooperative. She exchanged a look with Johann and said, “Ifound nothing.”

“Okay.” Johann nodded in response.

Since Allison was on the topic, she asked, “By the way, if my skin turned into this because I was notallowed to use skincare products, can I sue the prison?”

The lawyer was dumbfounded when he heard what she said.

‘Sue the prison? Because the prison didn’t allow her to use skincare products?’

This was the first time he had heard of something so ridiculous.

“Ms. Tanner, calm down. Aren’t the doctors treating you now?” The lawyer answered her with a smileon his face.

“Hmph, if my skin became the way it is now because of this, I’ll take these people to court!” Allisonwould not back down.

She was not worried that she would offend the prison guards by saying such things.

When Johann saw that they had done everything they were supposed to do, he whispered in thelawyer’s ear.

The lawyer nodded, looked at Allison, and asked, “Ms. Tanner, that’s it for today. You still have a fewminutes left. Do you want to see Mr. Crawford?”

“No, my relationship with him was done the moment he sent me to jail!” Allison said in a vicious tone.

Luca listened to her ruthless words. Although Luke had done something to hurt her, he was in the right.

For three years, Allison had refused to forgive Luke. Luca felt sorry for the man waiting outside.

Allison had been in jail for three years without realizing that she had done something wrong…

The lawyer listened to her and could not help but sigh in his heart. Luke’s mother thought of herself assomething. She was being punished by law for her wrongdoing yet she shifted all the blame on Lukeusing the excuse of him being unfilial.

Even so, she was still shameless enough to ask Luke to get a doctor to treat her…

After they were done talking, Allison was taken back to her cell by the guards. Luca and Johann walkedout together.

Luke stood outside the door and asked, “What’s going on?”

“I drew her blood. We’ll know more after the blood test. I want to make it clear that the blood test is onlyone of the steps. If we’re lucky, we’ll find something, but if we’re not, we may not find anything,” Johannsaid.

Luca reminded him, “Remember to do the toxicology test. However, I think this may not have to do withpoison.”

“Tell me more?” Johann looked at her.

“If she was poisoned, it would’ve affected her whole body and not just her face. Ms. Tanner is fineeverywhere else except for her face. Her skin is rough and sallow but she’s not sick,” Luca explainedher thoughts.

“Yes, it doesn’t look like it’s poisoning. If it was because of drugs, the affected areas would be morethan just the face.” Johann agreed with her.

Luca looked at Luke and said, “Mr. Crawford, did Ms. Tanner live with you before this?”

“No, she had her own villa.” Luke shook his head.

“Has her items been cleared from her villa?” Luca asked.

“No, there are servants who clean the place regularly, but I told them to keep everything,” Luke said.Although Allison previously stayed in a villa that was not under his name and it was currentlyunoccupied, he still kept the villa squeaky clean.

“I want to go take a look and see if I can find anything,” Luca said. If her belongings had not beencleaned up and if Luca was lucky, she might be able to find the skincare products that Allison usedbefore.

“I’ll take you there now.” Luke agreed.

Johann carried the box and said, “Okay, go ahead. I’ll take the blood sample and go run some tests.”novelbin

“Mm.” They walked out of the prison together and then got into their respective cars.

Luke drove back to the city center, bringing Luca to the villa where Allison lived.

Luca sighed in her heart when she looked at the villa in front of her.

When Luke disappeared, Allison was afraid that she would be left out of the will, so she cut ties with thefamily and took a sum of money from Luke’s account. She then bought the villa and enjoyed her lifehere alone.

Unexpectedly, she plotted against Old Master Crawford to maintain her luxurious lifestyle.

Luca did not expect her to be so bold.

After Luke parked the car, he opened the code-locked door and pushed it open to let Luca in.

Luca walked in. There was no dust because there were people who would come to clean the placeeven after Allison was sent to jail.

After Luca looked at the furniture that was covered with a layer of cloth, she looked at Luke and asked,“Can I go upstairs and have a look?”

“Do as you please,” Luke said.

After Allison bought the villa, Luca had visited the place. She knew that Allison made one of the roomsinto a beauty salon, and that room was on the second floor.

There were various beauty tools, skincare products, and cosmetic products in the beauty room. Shewanted to check it out to see if she could find something.

When he saw her go upstairs, Luke followed along.

Luca arrived at the second floor, looked at the furniture that was still covered with white cloth, andwalked to the beauty room.

Luke followed behind her, watching closely.

Luca walked into the corridor. Instead of walking into the master bedroom, she pushed open the door ofthe room opposite the master bedroom.

It was Allison’s private beauty salon.

Luke frowned. ‘She didn’t walk into the master bedroom because she already knows that those beautyproducts are not in the master bedroom?’
