Chapter 264 It Was Painful, But It Cleared Her Mind...
Jason dropped the children at school, then drove toward the company.
Bianca sat in the back seat. The window was open, and she allowed the cold, piercing wind to blow onher face.
The wind cut her delicate skin like a knife. It was painful, but it allowed her mind to be clear.
Jason glanced at her and said, "The weather is cold today, Ms. Rayne. Mr.
Crawford will blame me if you catch a cold."
Bianca shook her head but did not reply to him. She closed her eyes.
Jason was curious when he saw how languid Bianca looked. Did she have a fight with the boss?
He did not think so.
After being his boss's assistant for so many years, he knew how important Bianca was to Luke.
Luke loved her more than anything else in the world. Why would he fight with her?
Meanwhile, in a shopping mall.
Allison was dressed in a luxurious white fur coat and held two bulging shopping bags in her hand. Shewas at the checkout counter with two of her rich lady friends.
The shopping bags were filled with luxury items.
Allison's favorite hobby, other than spa makeovers, was shopping. She found that nothing was moreenjoyable in life than having money to spend.
She had enough of being poor.
Using her beautiful face and underhanded tactics, she had successfully lured in Luke's father. Then,using her son as a threat, she became the lawfully wedded wife of Zachary Crawford and enjoyed thehigh life that came with the status.
So what if she was a despicable mistress?
So what if Zachary's previous wife was still around?
What was most important was that she found a position in the Crawford family!
Not only had she defeated Susan Armstrong, but her son was also in total control of T Corporation.She was set for the rest of her life.
Now that Kevin Rayne was dead, the only blemish in her life was gone. Allison thought that whatevershe did in her life was totally worth it.
Unexpectedly, when she swiped her credit card, the sales clerk told her, ’ I'm sorry, Madam, but youhave reached your credit limit. Do you have another card?"
Allison slammed the credit card on the table, which frightened the sales clerk. "Don't you know who Iam? How can my card reach the credit limit?'
Indeed, Luke had set a credit limit on his mother’s credit card so that she did not overspend.
After all, money did not grow on trees.
Every month, she received ten million dollars from the company's finance department. Once she usedit up, that was it.
Allison was vain, and she spent her money recklessly. She reached her credit limit especially early thismonth.
Mrs. Willow next to Allison also spoke up. "You'd better not be mistaken. I'll let you know that his son isvery rich. You can't afford to offend Mrs. Crawford!"
On the other side was Mrs. Mallory, looking at the sales clerk with disdain.' You're just a wage-earner.How dare you talk back to Mrs. Crawford? Do you still want your job?'
The sales clerk felt miserable. She was only telling the truth, so how did that become talking back?
With no other choice, the sales clerk showed them the screen on which the list of items and the creditlimit notification was displayed. "I'm not mistaken, Madam. You've exceeded your credit limit. The totalof the items is $1,049,000, and the reminder says that you don't have enough on your credit card."
Allison scowled. She immediately gave Jason a call, telling him to contact the finance department toincrease her credit limit.
'I can certainly do that, Madam, but I'll have to ask for approval from Mr. Crawford first," Jason replied.
'You're useless!" She yelled through the phone.
She gave a call to Luke, but his phone was switched off!
Meanwhile, Leia was in her disguise and was strolling around in the shopping mall with her agent whenshe saw Allison at the checkout counter.
Naturally, Leia had investigated the family situation of the man she was infatuated with. She recognizedwho Allison was.
Allison was already more than half a century old, but her face was well- maintained.
The fur coat that she wore gave her an air of nobility.
However, Leia could tell from Allison's speech and mannerisms that she was nothing more than aphilistine.
She was not a true socialite, like her adopted mother Queenie.
However, she knew how to take advantage of people like Allison. They were easy to flatter and easierto manipulate.
Leia would have despised a woman like Allison, but Allison was Luke's mother. That was why Leiaapproached her.
"Let me pay for this, madam." Leia placed her golden credit card on the counter.
She turned and smiled at Allison while introducing herself. "Nice to meet you, Madam. You're Luke'smother, right? I'm Leia Norman, one of Luke's friends and a spokesperson for one of the perfumebrands of his company."
Allison could not help but size up Leia.
Leia had thin eyebrows and big eyes. She did not look like she underwent plastic surgery like othercelebrities. Her facial features were petite and delicate, and she had a sweet smile.
Mrs. Willow leaned toward Allison's ear and whispered. "Leia Norman is a popular celebrity. I've heardthat her father is Jack Norman, the Provincial Committee Secretary."
Mrs. Willow's husband often had secret rendezvouses with third-rate celebrities, and Mrs. Willowherself was not a stranger to the happenings in the entertainment industry. She knew about LeiaNorman, a second-rate actress that only became popular because of her background.
When Allison heard what Mrs. Willow told her, she instantly smiled. "I thought that you're a beautifulwoman on TV, but I didn't expect that you look better in real life. You shouldn't pay for me. I'll get Luketo transfer the money to you when I get back!" "Don't mention it, Madam, it's nothing much," Leiareplied.
"Oh, you're too kind." Allison held Leia's hand and did not let go. "It's more than a million dollars. It's nota small sum." 'It's fine.” Leia flashed a sweet smile. "This is my first time meeting you. Consider it as apresent."
Allison continued to decline Leia's offer a few times but eventually accepted it.
Allison laughed happily and asked, "You're so pretty, Leia. You should already have a boyfriend, right?"
Leia sheepishly lowered her head. "You must be joking, Madam. I've been focused on my work for thepast few years, and I don't have time for a relationship." "You have so many good qualities, but youdon't have a boyfriend? Oh my god! Why don't you be my daughter-in-law?'' Allison said in jest.
"You don't say, Allison. Leia is so beautiful, and her family is of matching status. I think she'll be a goodmatch for Luke," Mrs. Willow interjected appropriately.
'Too bad my son is too young. Otherwise, I'd love to have a daughter-in-law like Leia...’ Mrs. Mallorysaid.
Mrs. Willow and Mrs. Mallory showered praise upon Leia. They did not want to offend the daughter ofthe Provincial Committee Secretary!
The two wealthy ladies knew how to flatter someone. Leia smiled brightly when she heard that.
She blushed when she heard that she was a perfect match with Luke.
Allison grinned from ear to ear.
If she could get her son to marry the daughter of the Provincial Committee Secretary, her position in theCrawford family would be elevated to another level.
On the other hand, it meant that Susan's position would be lower. With the Norman family's help, herson's business would grow larger. That was a total win for her.
Allison could tell from Leia's mannerisms that she had a good upbringing, unlike Bianca.
The more she looked at Leia, the more she wished that Leia was her daughter-in-law.
She wondered if Leia would be able to lure his son away from that seductress Bianca.novelbin
'If you're free, you can come over to my house and visit me anytime. I'm so bored at home,’ Allisonventured.
Leia nodded. "Of course, don't worry."
As Allison walked away with her two rich lady friends, a cunning smile rose on Leia’s face...
Allison was Luke's birth mother. She was easily satisfied by material things.
With Allison's support and her own unique charm, she believed that she would eventually win Luke'sheart!
