Chapter 2428

Luke looked indifferently at Allison. There was no trace of affection. It was as if he was looking at astranger.

He knew that Allison said that to wash her hands off the matter.

However, she brought Sophian back, and she would not dare to do anything without Allison'spermission.

"Since you say that, you're telling me that she did it of her own volition?" Luke gave Allison anotherchance to admit to what she did although he knew that she would never.

"I didn't do it. I thought you were just drunk last night." Allison crossed her hands in front of her chest totry to make herself look more assertive.

Luke's gaze turned cold, and he did not bother to look at Sophian. "Gale."

"Boss, what do you need?" Gale stepped forward and knew that he was about to be given instructions.

He knew that Luke would not have brought him along for no reason.

"Send her to the police station," Luke said.

Allison frowned. ‘Why is he involving the police?'

Sophian was taken aback. She staggered and uttered, "Mr. Crawford, I drugged you, but you didn't loseanything. Why do you want to send me to the police station?"

Allison was a little flustered and stood in front of Sophian. If Luke sent Sophian to the police station,she might be dragged through the mud. "What are you doing? She gave you some drugs and you want

to send her to the police station? What are you going to tell the police? Sophian didn't do anything toyou."

"Possession of drugs. The police will detain and investigate you for it," Luke said. His right hand stillheld Luca's tightly.

"Luke, are you crazy? It's not a big deal. The drug can be found in any bar. The police won't bebothered even if you go to them," Allison said. She knew that he was using Sophian to make a point,but she still opted to protect Sophian.

"The police will find out if it's illegal. My blood sample is still in the hospital." Luke threatened.

He had to teach Allison a lesson so that she would stop causing trouble. He wanted to start the newyear peacefully before sending her back to Korea.

"Mr. Crawford, please don't involve the police. I promise you that the drug you consumed yesterdayisn't illegal. It won't have any side effects. I'm sorry, please give me a chance. I won't bother you everagain." Sophian was at a loss. She was worried sick that Luke would really send her to the policestation.

If she had a criminal record, her visa to South Korea may not be approved.

She did not succeed in hooking up with Luke, so she had to go back and work to pay back the moneyshe owed for the plastic surgery she did.

"Take her." Luke ignored her plea for mercy and gave Gale an order.

Gale responded and stepped forward.

Allison glared at Gale viciously, the folds on her face deepening. "Who dares to take her away in frontof me?"

"You're protecting her?" Luke stared at Allison.

She must be guilty if she insisted on siding with an outsider.

He remembered that Allison had never protected him for as long as he could remember. Luke could nothelp but feel amused when he saw how she acted.

"I brought her from South Korea so, of course, I have to protect her. She's a poor girl who finally visitedher hometown for the new year. How could you send her to the police station? The drug isn't illegal,and you look perfectly fine. Since she apologized, let it go," Allison said. She was scared that shewould be dragged into the mire if she did not help Sophian.

"Are you sure you want to protect her?" Luke asked once more as a warning.

"Yes, it was just a spiked drink. It can't kill anyone." Allison crossed her hands in disdain.

Luca could not believe what he just heard.

Allison wanted to let the matter slide just because Luke looked fine? He was her son! How could shedefend a random stranger who hurt him?

With a mother like Allison, it was no wonder why Luke acted so cold.

"I hope you won't regret siding with her." Luke looked at her coldly with a hint of warning in his eyes.

"Gale, let's go."

"Boss, you no longer want to send her to the police station?" Gale wanted the drama to go on.

"Who would dare?!" Allison stared at Gale.

Gale shrugged indifferently. He did not care. He simply turned around and walked behind Luke.

Sophian took a step forward from behind Allison, her resentful eyes watching Luke leave.

'The woman beside him is gorgeous, but I'm not too bad myself... Men usually wouldn't mind havingmany women around them. Why did Luke reject me? Doesn't he like how I look?'

Sophian was cursing at Luca in her heart.

After Luke and Luca left, Allison breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the mask liquid spilled on thefloor. It was slightly dried due to the room temperature. "Hurry up and clean up the floor!"

"Ms. Allison..." Sophian teared up because she was scared and unwilling.

"Why do you look like that? You're alright. You don't have to worry that someone will send you to thepolice station," Allison said. She felt suppressed by Luke's aura just now and needed to sit down totake a breather.

"Ms. Allison, thank you." Sophian walked over to her and massaged her neck.

"I wouldn't have helped you if I weren't worried that you'd drag me through the mud if you were sent tothe police station. This didn't work out because of your hesitation." Allison complained about Sophianfor the same few things.

Sophian was dissatisfied. She felt as though she was not the one to blame.

She would never have done such a thing if it were not for Allison's encouragement. Even if she helpedhim upstairs, the driver would still find Luke and take him away.

From the very beginning, Luke had his guard up. They would never have succeeded.

Nevertheless, Allison blamed it all on her...

"Why are you so quiet? Are you angry?" Allison raised her head slightly and tried to look at Sophian'sexpression.

‘Let's see if she dares to get angry at me!'

Luke's expression when he left was ugly. As his mother, she knew that there would be more to this.

Allison was not sure what else he would do.

However, at least Sophian did not have to go to the police station.novelbin

"No, Ms. Allison. Thank you for keeping me. Mr. Crawford is fuming at us. Why don't we go back toKorea first?" Sophian was nervous when she thought of how Luke had looked at her before he left.

He might not let go of the matter easily.

Sophian was worried that Luke would take revenge on her, so she wanted to go back to Korea.

‘A busy man like Luke wouldn't travel all the way to Korea to mess with me... right?'
