Chapter 801 She Wanted To See What Allison Intended To Do
Luke went to the company early that morning, while the driver picked up the three children and sentthem to Crawford Manor because Old Master Crawford missed them. The people who remained in themansion were Bianca, Old Master Rayne, and Wanda who came to visit.
Johann had suggested a naturopathic treatment program for Old Master Rayne. The old man wasalready quite elderly, and his symptoms were chronic.
Today, Bianca and Wanda were in the kitchen preparing a herbal remedy for Old Master Rayne.
The thick smell of medicinal herbs wafted in the kitchen. They had to reduce the tonic three times in thepot, and they were only boiling it for the second time. Bianca thought that the smell alone was bitter.
"Aunt Wanda, the tonic smells so pungent and bitter. Can Grandpa's stomach take it?" Bianca furrowedher brows. She could not imagine how her grandfather took the tonic every day.
Wanda smiled when she saw how worried her niece was. "Don't worry, sometimes herbal remedies canbe more effective than medicine. Look at my breast cancer. Dr. Lake said that there was no other wayother than to remove my breasts by surgery, and she estimated that I only had six months to live... Ididn't have the courage to have them removed, so I tried naturopathic treatments instead. I can't saythat the tumor is totally gone, but at least the treatment managed to stop it from spreading. That's all Ican ask for..."
Bianca looked at her aunt carefully. Indeed, there was more color to her face compared to before, andshe seemed to be in good spirits. Bianca remembered how her aunt used to be withered and gaunt, butnow she seemed slightly plumper.
However, Bianca remained worried. "You'll still have to take good care of yourself, Aunt Wanda. Nowthat your condition is improving, you shouldn't overwork yourself. Maybe you should rest at homeinstead of working. You can't put a price on your health."
Wanda was even more of a workaholic compared to Bianca. While she was in Japan, she was the vicepresident of a major corporation. After she returned to the country, she started several companies anddid not give herself any free time.
Naturally, her sickness was exacerbated by her stress from work and her lifestyle.
She shifted her priorities after she was diagnosed with cancer. "I know my condition the best, Bea, andI've thought about a lot of things since I was diagnosed. You don't have to worry too much about me.I've already sold off all my companies except for one, and I've been delegating most of the duties to themanagers. Nowadays, I try to enjoy life as much as possible, and I'll travel to different cities andcountries every month. I'd bring your Grandpa along with me if not that his physical condition doesn'tallow him to travel."
Bianca watched over the pot while replying to her aunt, "Grandpa gets homesick easily, Aunt Wanda.He doesn't want it even when I bring him to the park. I don't think he'd travel with you even if his healthwere better, but it's the thought that counts. Taking care of your health is more important than anythingelse. I've been very busy lately, and I can't get away from work. Otherwise, I'd join you in your travelsaround the world too."
Wanda furrowed her brows when she was reminded of T Corporation's recent troubles. "How are youand Luke going to deal with the tragedy of The Galleria, Bea? I don’t believe that it's an accident, andsomeone must be behind it. There's no reason why the shopping mall would suddenly collapse,especially not when there aren't any earthquakes or natural disasters. If you need me to help withanything, don't hesitate to tell me." "Thank you, Aunt Wanda. Indeed, it's not an accident. Someone'strying to sabotage us."
Bianca's gaze became icy when she thought of that cold-blooded person who would kill so manyinnocent people in an attempt to harm T Corporation's reputation. "You don't have to worry about us.Luke is in the midst of finding evidence, and the masterminds behind the tragedy will be exposed soon.We can't reveal anything for now, in case the culprits catch wind of it. Once we are ready to tell thetruth, we will have a satisfactory explanation for the families of the deceased!"novelbin
Wanda felt slightly relieved.
She had been in Japan for a long time, and all her resources and connections were there. She feltguilty that there was not much she could do to help her niece, but knowing that they had already foundthe culprits made her feel better.
She knew that Luke was an outstanding individual and believed that he would be able to overcome thechallenge. Her niece Bianca had suffered for most of her life, and Wanda would not want someone toruin Bianca's hard-earned bliss.
While they were chatting in the kitchen, they heard a commotion from outside. Soon, a security guardcame running toward the kitchen while shouting from afar.
"Mrs... Mrs. Crawford..."
Bianca wiped her hands and went out of the kitchen. ‘What's wrong, Steve?"
The security guard panted while he wiped the sweat off his face. "Madam... Madam Crawford is outsideand wants to come in. We told her that she couldn't come in, but she sat on the ground and caused acommotion. She insists on meeting her son, and we can’t stop her. We dare not lay a finger on herbecause she's Mr. Crawford's mother. What should we do?"
Bianca glanced at the security feed of the entrance. Indeed, Allison was sitting on the ground andflailing her arms and legs.
She was punching and kicking the security guards around her, very much unlike how a woman of herstatus should behave. My son owns this mansion. Why can't I go in?" She yelled, "How dare you stopme, you peasants? I'll get my son to fire every one of you!"
Bianca knew that Allison was a nuisance. If she did not allow her to come in, that woman might sitthere for the rest of the day.
Helplessly, she waved at the security guard. "Let her in!"
She was curious to find out what Allison intended to do.
If that woman were here to cause trouble, Bianca would make sure that she would regret it.
After the security guards let Allison in, she looked around at the beautiful scenery in the garden,admiring that the caretakers had kept the place well- maintained. Then, she clutched her handbag andwalked into the house...
