Female Novel
Chapter 1771
At that moment, the two acted like shrews who were fighting in the market square.
When Allison saw Luke, she knew that her support had arrived. Before Susan could say anything, shecried out, "Luke, I don't feel welcomed in this house! I don't want to live anymore!"
Luca listened as Allison cried about her misery. It was made clear that she wanted Luke to step in.
Nevertheless, Luke was the kind of person who sided with reason. He did not side her blindly. Instead,he asked, "What happened? Your quarrel is scaring Thea."
Thea planted her bum on the floor all of a sudden. Thea covered her face and cried so hard as if shewas going to be out of breath at any moment. Luca could not bear to leave her as such, so she walkedover, took her hand, and comforted her softly. "It's okay. Everything is okay. Don't cry."
Thea continued crying although she was being comforted.
Susan noticed it and pulled Thea to her side. She scolded Allison dismissively, "If you don't want to live,I'm all for it. Why are you still here to hinder the earth's rotation? Do you think your son will back you upnow that he's here?"
Seeing that Susan was unwilling to back down, Allison decided to change her tactics and pretended tobe vulnerable. She said, "Luke, look, this house is no longer my home. She speaks ill of me to anyonewho's willing to listen to her. She's trying to force me to leave. Please take me away from this horribleplace. I don't want to live here anymore."
Susan snorted coldly and replied, "It's best if you're willing to move out so you won't scare my babyThea anymore. Why are you still going around scaring people with that ugly face of yours? Are youtrying to scare my baby granddaughter to death? Sure enough, ugly people will do all kinds of weirdthings to get attention."
"You... How dare you?!" Allison was hit on her sore spot and was ready to fight Susan. However, assoon as she took a step forward, the maid who held her was frightened and held onto her even harder.
"Enough!" Luke frowned. He was extremely annoyed by what was happening.
Crawford Manor was peaceful for several years because of Allison's imprisonment. It had not beenlong since she got out of prison but she and Susan had started arguing again.
Their quarrels annoyed everyone. The only ones unaffected were the two parties involved.
Luca sighed helplessly as she watched the drama unfold.
Allison raised his hand and pointed at Susan. "Luke, she called me ugly. She even told the maid to tellher granddaughter. I can't let go of this!"
Luke knew how vicious Susan's words were, but it was not his place to say anything. Although she wasin the wrong, she was still Louis' mother and his elder.
"Okay, stop arguing," he scolded them with a cold tone, "I brought Dr. Craw here. She's going to do acheck-up on your skin. Do you want to consult with her?"
Allison touched her face subconsciously. There were endless wrinkles. She had applied the herbalconcoction for so long but her skin did not seem to get any better. However, it also did not get worse.She quickly said, "Yes, I want to consult with her!"
"Go upstairs, then," Luke said. The quarrel could only be settled by getting Allison upstairs.
Allison stared at Susan fiercely. Susan was uncomfortable looking at her terrifying face paired with herpiercing gaze.
"What are you looking at?! You'll never have skin as smooth as mine," Susan sarcastically said. Shehad always been pissed about Zachary being on Allison's side in the past because of her inability tohave children and her age. She felt that it was also because she was not as good-looking as Allison.However, she could finally stand proud now that Allison's face ended up as such.
The tables had turned and it was Allison's turn to be the unlucky one.
Susan felt at ease. She would be more at ease if Allison left Crawford Manor.
"I'll cut you after I see the doctor!" Allison said viciously as she turned around and went upstairs.
Luke gave Luca a look.
Luca nodded and was about to follow her upstairs.
Susan said sarcastically, "I don't know why you're wasting your time since the plastic surgeons havealready said that your face can't be restored. Isn't it a waste of resources for you to see the doctor? Ifyou have the time, why not go to the suburbs and choose a nice cemetery plot? You might be able toget a spot with nice scenery. Maybe that'll make you want to die faster."
Allison exploded. She turned around and glared at Susan viciously. "What did you say? I'll tear you topieces if you continue talking!"
"I'm only telling the truth. Why? Luke, doesn't your mother allow others to tell the truth? Although shemet the plastic surgeon in prison, she can't hide the results of her diagnosis from others. Does shethink that no one knows about her rotten face just because she hasn't gone outside since her releasefrom prison? Allison, everyone in the world knows that your face is ruined and can't be cured!” Susancontinued to trigger Allison seeing that her reaction was so strong.
"I'll kill you!" Allison knew that if anyone out there knew about her situation, half of the reason wasSusan.
Family matters should be kept within the household, but Susan told everyone about her condition. Itwas clear that Allison wanted her to become a joke in the public eye.
Luca stood at the head of the stairs, blocking Allison's way. She said with a serious expression, "Ms.Tanner, I'm in a hurry. If you don't think you need a consultation today, I'll head off now."
When Allison heard that, she had to calm herself down. The concoction that Luca gave her was themost effective out of everything she had ever received from the doctors. She only had Luca to rely on.
"I'll deal with you later! Bitch!"
After she shouted that, she headed upstairs.
Luca breathed a sigh of relief. It was obvious that Susan wanted to pick a fight. She continued to triggerAllison even after she had backed down. If it were not for her quick thinking, they might have gotteninto a fistfight.
If Old Master Crawford knew that they got into a fight, he would be furious.
To Old Master Crawford, what he cared about the most was family harmony. However, Susan andAllison were always like two opposite threads. They would never be on the same end.
Luca glanced at Luke and followed Allison upstairs.
At that moment, Louis had also hurried back. When he saw his frightened daughter who was stillcrying, he snatched the child from Susan's arms.
"Mom, why are you arguing with Allison again?!" Louis could not do anything about their incompatibility.novelbin
"From your tone of voice, you seem to think that I was the one who picked a fight? Are you my son orher son? Why do you keep siding with her?" Susan looked at him, dissatisfied.
Louis took out a tissue and wiped her daughter's tears. "I'm not siding with her. I just think that thesefights are pointless. All they do is make everyone in the house feel uneasy."
"It's not my fault. She knows she's so ugly yet still walks around the house! Do you see Thea's tears?It's because of her horrid appearance." Susan looked at Luke as if she was in the right. "Luke, moveher out of here. If you don't, it'll cause me and Thea to have a heart attack sooner or later."
