Chapter 2470
"She'll agree to it," Luke assured the old master.
Luke came up with a plan after he received the old master's message. He immediately carried it out.
He found someone to appraise the value of the villa. Besides, the price he offered was currently thehighest.
Allison would agree to it as long as the price was reasonable, and she could get the money right away.
Besides, it was just that the ownership rights of the villa were under a different name. If Allison wouldlike to stay there, Luke would still allow her to.
Old Master Crawford knew Luke had already made preparations in advance before he came back herewhen he saw how confident Luke was. He nodded and said, "Luke, you've worked hard these days.Thank you."
"It's nothing, Grandpa. Please excuse me. I'm off to draw the design." Luke rose to his feet. He hadreplied to the village chief when he was on his way back here. The village chief was satisfied with theexterior design of the building.
"Is it the ancestral hall's design?" Old Master Crawford asked.
"Yes."
"The overall designs look great. The village chief showed me your designs. Luke, thank you for yourhard work," said Old Master Crawford. Assigning Luke the job was more reassuring than giving it toany other architect.
Luke turned around, looked at Old Master Crawford, and replied, "It's my duty."
Although the old master had moved to A City for a few decades now, he was born in X City. He missedhis hometown.
The old master would grab the opportunity to return to X City when he was young back then. Now, hewas old and he would feel uncomfortable sitting in the car for too long. Besides, his health conditionwould not allow him to travel by air. Otherwise, he would love to go back there.
After Luke left the study, Old Master Crawford grabbed the walking stick and stood up. He called out toMr. Griffin, who was outside the door, "Are you out there?"
Mr. Griffin immediately pushed the door open and walked in, "Old Master Crawford, are you going torest?"
It was already lunch hour. Old Master Crawford nodded and replied, "Yes. I'm getting old. I'll feel tired ifI don't take a rest. Help me back to my bedroom."
“Okay, Old Master Crawford." Mr. Griffin came forward and helped him.
Old Master Crawford reminded him at the thought of Luke. "Luke must have set off early in themorning. He probably hasn't eaten anything yet. Ask Mrs. Nancy to prepare Luke's favoriterefreshments and send them to his study. Otherwise, he'll forget to eat when he's busy drawing thedesigns."
"Okay. That's very attentive of you, Old Master Crawford." Mr. Griffin could not help but exclaim. Then,he helped the old master back to his bedroom.
Old Master Crawford sat by the bed and sighed, "Luke's father passed away too early, and his motheronly sees him as a tool. What a poor little kid he'll be if I don't love him."
Although Luke had never felt sorry for himself, the old master knew he was just being stubborn.
If it were someone with a fragile heart, they might not be able to handle the pressure.
The tougher Luke was, the more it proved that he had the bloodline of the Crawford family.
One who had the bloodline of the Crawford family would never give up easily.
"Old Master Crawford, take a rest first. I'm going to the kitchen to inform them." Mr. Griffn agreed withwhat the old master said. Old Master Crawford had kept Luke by his side over the years.
Although the old master was strict with him, he doted on Luke too.
"Okay. I'm taking a nap. Wake me up an hour later. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep at night." OldMaster Crawford yawned.
Mr. Griffin helped the old master to lay down on the bed and said, "Old Master Crawford, haven't youbeen having better sleep at night after taking the medicine prescribed by Ms. Craw?"
"Just in case." Old Master Crawford covered himself under the blanket and closed his eyes.
Mr. Griffin walked out of his bedroom quietly and closed the door behind him. Then, he headeddownstairs and asked Mrs. Nancy prepares some refreshments for Luke and the kids.
On the other hand.
Allison returned to her bedroom angrily with the property deed in her hands.
Sophian immediately kept her phone and stood up when she saw Allison coming back. Then, she said,"Ms. Allison, how is..."
Before Sophian could finish her sentence, she realized something was wrong with Allison's expression.She immediately stopped talking.novelbin
It seemed like Luke did not give her what she wanted.
"This is driving me crazy!" Allison threw the agreement on the sofa.
Sophian picked it up with confusion. She immediately understood what happened when she saw that itwas a property deed. "Mr. Crawford wants your villa?"
"Yes. He told me that he found an appraiser to appraise the villa. He said he can give me the money,but it's the money to purchase the villa. How did I fail myself and give birth to such an unfilial son?!"Allison was so furious that the veins on her face could pop out of her wrinkled face anytime soon.
Sophian roughly read through the property deed. Luke had written the property price in an eyecatchingmanner.
Even though Sophian had no idea how much the villa cost, the price would be high in A City where aninch of land was worth an inch of gold.
Allison continued to vent her anger, "It wasn't easy for me to raise him for so many years. I only wantedto ask for an advance for my living expenses next month, but he told me that the money couldn't beclaimed even if I called the police. He set his eyes on my property instead. No way. I can't let him getwhat he wants. It's too much!"
Sophian shot a glance at the terms. Even though it was a property deed, Allison was given the right tolive in the villa. She reminded, "Ms. Allison, it states that you're given the right to live in the villa in thiscontract, which means even if you're not the owner of the property, you have the right to live there inthe future. You can live there for the rest of your life. Even if Mr. Crawford transfers the ownership ofthe property to someone else, you can live there and no one can kick you out."
Sophian could not help but wonder. Allison and Luke were mother and son, and Luke would nottransfer the ownership of the property to someone else either. Was it not the same no matter who hadownership of the villa?
Besides, Allison could get a huge amount of money. It was considered a good deal. There was nothingto lose out on.
“So? He's been working for such a long time, but he wants my property now. Does that make anysense?” Allison widened her bloodshot eyes.
Sophian was surprised to see how insane Allison had become. She asked obsequiously, “If you refuseto agree to it, how are you going to return to Seoul? I asked the hospital just now. The surgeon will onlywork in the hospital for half a month. Then, he'll continue with his business and head to New York tofurther his studies.”
Allison frowned when she heard the surgeon would only be working in the hospital for half a month.She said, "I'll either borrow some money from others or sell the property to someone else. I'm not goingto let Luke take advantage of me."
Sophian was rendered speechless. Was this even considered Luke exploiting her?
“Ms. Allison, are you sure you'll be able to get a better price?" Sophian asked.
"I don't even know how much it is!" said Allison. “But I'm calling the property agent now to see howmuch is the property's value."
Sophian handed her the property deed and said, “This is the price Mr. Crawford offered."
Allison glanced at the price. It was double the price when she first bought the villa back then.
The price might be tempting for ordinary people, but the property was a villa. It was normal for a villa'svalue to increase after a few years. Allison thought the price could go higher. Hence, she said, "I'mgoing to ask the property agent."
