Chapter 947 Allison Only Brought Trouble for Luke
Everyone in A City knew about Allison's extravagant lifestyle. Old Master
Crawford was not close to other wealthy ladies, but he had heard rumors.
The Crawford family might be wealthy, but all that wealth had to come from somewhere.
Old Master Crawford had worked hard since he was young and had amassed a lot of wealth.
People from his generation were very thrifty, and they would save every cent whenever possible. Evenuntil today, Old Master Crawford would not waste any money.
His clothes were expensive, but they lasted for a long time.
He always believed that clothes made the man, which was why he did not spare any expense on hisclothes.
What Allison had been doing was the exact opposite of Old Master Crawford's principles.
Allison might have moved out of Crawford Manor, and her personal life was no one else's business, butall her money came from the Crawford family!
Susan looked at Allison smugly while waiting for Old Master Crawford to continue speaking.
"If you don't like the food here, you can go back to your mansion and eat there." Old Master Crawford'svoice was resonant and authoritative.
His discontent toward Allison grew every day.
Even though Allison was his daughter-in-law, she seemed to have forgotten all manners ever since shemoved out. She never visited him, and he would only see her if Luke was there.
That was the least harmless thing Allison had done. What was worse was that her excessive lifestyleand her arrogant manner had tarnished the reputation of the Crawford family.
As Luke's mother, Allison only brought endless trouble for him!
Old Master Crawford would have disowned Allison, if not that she was the one who raised Luke.
Allison was furious, though she could sense the change in Old Master Crawford's emotions.
She had rarely visited his father-in-law because she was busy with her beauty routines. Why would OldMaster Crawford treat her so badly?
Allison wondered if Susan had told Old Master Crawford something.
Thanks to Luke, Old Master Crawford had given preferential treatment to Allison. After all, Luke wasthe capable and talented one, while Louis was a playboy with no skills!
Allison regretted moving out of Crawford Manor, but she had no reason to move back either.
She lived a carefree life in her mansion, free from Old Master Crawford's influence!
After Old Master Crawford said his piece, she had nothing else to say and could only eat the rest of hermeal in embarrassment.
Luke said nothing and picked up a piece of roast chicken for Bianca.
Allison's expression turned unpleasant instantly. She put down her cutlery and said, "Pick a piece ofegg for me, Luke."
Luke glanced coldly at her and reminded her, "The egg is right in front of you." "Pfft!" Susan could nothelp but chuckle audibly.
Allison's expression sank. She did not raise Luke to have him embarrass her in front of other people!
She lost her temper, slammed the cutlery on the table once more, and stood up. The chair screechedas it scraped the floor.
"I'm done eating. Clean up my plate," she said.
"Yes," the cook said and took her plate.
Allison shot a hostile glare at Susan and Bianca, then left the dining hall.
Bianca was quite bemused by it all. She rubbed her nose, picked some food for Tommy, then continuedeating her meal.
Allison waited in the living room for the rest of the family to finish their lunch.
She stood up when she saw Luke come out. "Go to the study, Luke. I have something to discuss withyou."
Luke frowned but did not say anything.
Allison stomped his foot. "Why are you still standing there? Go upstairs."
She thought that she could command respect because she was Luke's mother, but Luke remainedstanding on the spot. "We can talk here if you have anything to say."
Allison shot a glance at Susan, who was coming out of the living room. She took a deep breath andcalmed down. "There are outsiders here. Let's go upstairs and talk."
Bianca listened to their conversation and tugged Luke's shirt sleeve." Maybe she has somethingimportant to tell you. Why don't you go upstairs? It won't take long, right?"
Bianca did not want to see Allison and Luke become enemies. After all, she was one of the reasonswhy their relationship soured.
Luke listened to Bianca and went upstairs.
Before Allison went upstairs, she glared coldly at Bianca.
She was not grateful that Bianca had helped her. Instead, she was angry that Luke obeyed Biancainstead of her.
She felt that her son did not belong to her anymore.
That feeling of loss made her miserable.
Allison swore to herself that she would wrest control of Luke once more. She would only get to livecomfortably if Luke obeyed her.
When they were in the study, Allison closed the door behind her and locked it.
"What do you want to say?" Luke asked her.
Tears instantly gushed from Allison's eyes. "I'm your mother, Luke. How can you be so cold to me?"
Luke did not feel anything as he watched the tears fall from her face.
Since young, he had seen Allison cry in front of him because she wanted more riches, just so that shecould flaunt them in front of Susan or her friends.
She would never cry because of Luke's behavior.
Allison cried for a full minute. She thought that Luke would give her a word of comfort, but Luke lookedat her coldly without saying anything.
She could not cry anymore because of the awkwardness, so she took a napkin and carefully wiped hereyes.
"You're already grown up and have your own family. I shouldn't interfere in your matters, but I'mdisappointed in your nonchalance. I've given birth to you and raised you, but you didn't even greet meand had even humiliated me in front of others. How did we become like this, Luke?"
Luke became impatient in the face of Allison's questions. "Is that all you have to say, Mother?"
Allison was shocked.
That speech did not move him at all...
"If there's nothing else, I'll be playing chess with Grandfather," Luke said as he walked toward the door.
Allison decided not to stall him with relationship matters. "There's another thing. I've almost run out ofmoney. Give me some money," she said.novelbin
Luke turned around and looked at her with a profound gaze. 'So that's the reason why she's here.'
Allison could not tell what her son was thinking. She could only explain herself, "You see, it's been quitea while since you gave me that three million dollars. It's not easy for me to live alone, and I have a lot ofexpenses. That's why I'm running out of money."
Luke frowned. Spending one million in a month was already very excessive.
Bianca had been keeping track of their expenses. The family of five spent about a hundred thousanddollars every month.
Allison, on the other hand, spent three million dollars in the blink of an eye. She was the mostexcessive of all.
