Female Novel
Chapter 2431
Allison stood on the side of the road and waited for more than 20 minutes before she got a taxi.
After Allison and Sophian got into the car, Allison told the driver the destination and the taxi headedtoward Luke's villa complex.
"Ms. Allison, are you sure that we'll be fine?" Sophian picked up her phone and looked for Luke'sneighborhood.
It was a high-end community. No one could enter without the consent of the tenant.
Therefore, many celebrities and wealthy businessmen loved to live in the area as their privacy wasguaranteed.
"What's wrong with me going to look for my son?" Allison said. The taxi seat was not comfortable, soshe leaned against the seat and closed her eyes. She was fuming on the inside.
Sophian kept quiet for the rest of the journey.
After half an hour, the taxi arrived at the gate of the community.
Allison paid and they got out of the car. They were stopped by the security guard before they couldwalk in. "No idlers are allowed to enter."
"How do you know I'm not a tenant here?" Allison gnash her teeth with hatred as she looked at thewoman walking in ahead. She had wanted to follow her.
"You look nothing like a tenant here. Are you a reporter?" The security guard was alert. He closed thegate immediately.
"Have you ever seen a reporter like me?" Allison pointed to herself.novelbin
She was wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a mask. Her face was tightly covered for fear that the wrinkleson her face would be seen.
Those who usually dressed as such were movie stars.
Nevertheless, the security guard stopped her as he did not think that she looked like one.
"Enough with the nonsense. If you're a tenant, swipe your card to enter. If you're not, leave."
Allison looked at the security guard blocking her who was built like a tank. She frowned and said, "Don'tyou act like a snob with me. Listen carefully, my son is a tenant here. His name is Luke Crawford."
The security guard was familiar with Luke.
Throughout the past few years, many had pretended to be related to Luke. Luke was not the onlyvictim. Many tried to impersonate various stars and celebrities to get into the property.
The security guard would not be fooled as easily. He pointed to the pager next to him and said, "Yousaid that you're Mr. Crawford's family member right? You can call him and he'll open the gate for you ifhe allows you to come in."
"Why is it so troublesome? I've told you that I'm Luke's mother. You can just open the gate." Allison wascarrying an LV bag. She crossed her hands in front of her chest to show her dissatisfaction.
'Is he blind? I'm carrying such an expensive bag. How can he not believe that I'm Luke's mother?'
"This is the rule." The security guard gave her a contemptuous look. Usually, visitors would just pressthe call bell to reach out to the respective resident. They would not waste their time going on and onwhile refusing to press the call bell.
"Also, there are a lot of people pretending to be Mr. Crawford's relatives and friends. How would I knowif you're not one of them?"
"You!" Allison bit her lip and walked over to the pager.
If she called Luke, there was a 100 percent chance that she would not be let inside.
Allison stomped her feet and was about to give up when she saw a familiar figure walking out.
"Aunt Neile?" She stopped the woman who was holding a vegetable basket and stepped forward toconfirm if it was Aunt Neile.
Aunt Neile had worked in Crawford Manor as a maid for over a decade, so Allison recognized her.
"You're..." Allison's face was wrapped so tightly that Aunt Neile did not recognize her at first glance.
"I'm Madam Allison." Allison did not take off her mask, and her tone was a little arrogant.
Aunt Neile immediately recognized that the voice belonged to Luke's mother. She said in surprise,"Madam Allison, it's you. Why are you here?"
"It's the New Year, so I'm here to visit Lanie and the others. After all, they're my grandchildren. I haven'tseen them for some time, so I miss them a lot. By the way, you have an access card, right? Let me in. Itold the security guard that I'm Luke's mother but he doesn't believe me." Allison saw hope and rolledher eyes at the security guard.
Aunt Neile was taken back. They had to swipe an access card to enter, but they did not need to swipetheir cards to go out.
She had a card with her, and when she was about to take it out, she thought of what Luke said to Lucabefore she left the house.
Allison seemed to be plotting against Luke.
Fortunately, Luke was prepared, so she did not succeed. The two of them went out earlier tounderstand the matter better.
Aunt Neile also just saw a maid mention in their group chat that she no longer had to serve MadamAllison and could finally return to work at Crawford Manor.
All in all, Aunt Neile believed that Allison wanted to go in to cause trouble for Luke.
It was easy to let her in, but it would be difficult to get her out. There might be a lot of trouble if she lether in...
Aunt Neile pretended to look around her body before saying, "Madam Allison, I forgot to bring theaccess card..."
Allison's smile disappeared as she took off her sunglasses. Her eyes, which looked like they weresurrounded by ravines, stared at Aunt Neile. "How could you've forgotten to bring the card?" "I changedinto a fresh set of clothes and might've left the access card at home. Madam Allison, you don't need theaccess card to leave the property. I really did forget to bring the card just now," Aunt Neile explained toher. She shivered from fright when she looked into Allison's eyes.
She finally understood why the maid who got to return to Crawford Manor was so happy. Allison waspicky, and it would take a long time for anyone to get used to a face like hers.
Aunt Neile averted her gaze and glanced at the security guard.
The security guard noticed and nodded slightly.
"Ring the bell and have Luke open the door. I want to go in," Allison ordered Aunt Neile.
Aunt Neile glanced at the time and said anxiously, "Oh no, Madam Allison, you can ring the bell if youwant to visit Mr. Crawford. But I have to rush to the market as there's no meat in the refrigerator athome. They'll run out of the good stuff if I'm late. Young Master Tommy won't be happy about that. Ihave to go. Madam Allison, you're staying here for dinner, right? I'll buy more meat."
She quickly left after she finished her sentence.
Allison could not stop her. She looked at Aunt Neile as she walked off and turned to look at Sophian,who had a dull expression. "Why didn't you stop her just now?"
"I..." Sophian hesitated to speak. She did not expect that the maid had respectfully greeted Allison butdared to disobey her...
After all, no one wanted to lose their job, but she did not expect Aunt Neile to disobey Allison without asecond thought. She walked off as though a wild beast was chasing her.
She did not know how to respond.
"Are you done sleepwalking?!" Allison was annoyed that Sophian was always slow. She thought thatthings might not end up as such if she had moved faster.
She looked at the security guard and said, "Now do you believe I'm Luke's mother? Open the door forme."
"You'll need Mr. Crawford's approval to enter even if you're his mother." The security guard made agesture toward the pager.
