Chapter 799 They Will Teach Him A Lesson!


    While Allison fretted over what excuse she should give to ask for money from her son, she received an


    invitation to a video call on her phone.


    She picked up her phone and saw that it was Maxine calling her. She instantly epted the invitation


    and said exaggeratedly, "Are you already back home, Maxine? You''re only gone for a few days, but I''ve


    already missed you!"


    Maxine did not stay for too long in Crawford Manor, but she knew how to butter up to Allison.


    Somehow, she knew Allison''s preferences, and Allison was perfectly satisfied by everyvish gift


    Maxine bought her.


    Moreover, Maxine''s father was a much more influential figure than Bianca''s father. That was the main


    reason why Allison liked Maxine. Of course, Maxine was a sensible and obedient girl, unlike that


    ingrate Bianca, who would always go against her wishes.


    Maxine''s delicate and petite face appeared on Allison''s phone screen.


    She smiled sweetly as she greeted Allison, "I miss you too, Aunt Allison. I thought I could stay over for


    longer if I had been sessfully epted to Luke''spany, but unfortunately... sigh. Never mind, I''ll


    go and visit you whenever I''m free. How have you been?"


    Allison wiped away an imaginary tear on her face and said with fake sorrow, "Sigh, things have been


    horrible here. You should have seen the news about T Corporation''s ident, right? I''ve been


    physically and mentally exhausted because of that. Your cousin Luke is in the hospital because of the


    violent mob. Things are chaotic in the Crawford household. Sigh, we''re so unlucky!" "What?" Maxine''s


    voice became shrill all of a sudden. "Is Luke in the hospital? Is he injured badly?"


    Allison tried to look sadder than before. "His injuries are serious. He broke several ribs, and there was


    a blood clot in his skull when he was struck by a thick steel pipe. He almost couldn''t survive the


    operation... My son is truly blessed to be saved from the reaper, but he''s still in pretty bad shape..."


    Maxine’s face turned pale all of a sudden. "How could that happen?


    Shouldn''t he have bodyguards protecting him? How could he be so heavily injured?"


    Allison noticed the worry in Maxine''s eyes and remembered how Maxine blushed when she first saw


    Luke. "Maxine, I''d... I''d rather not trouble you, but I don''t have any other choice," she took the


    opportunity to say, "The ident at The Galleria is too serious, and marypensation won''t


    please everyone! If T Corporation can''t ovee this obstacle, we''ll be bankrupt soon...


    "Maxine, do you think you can help me ask your father for a favor? Luke will need his help to solve this


    problem. If you can help us, then I''ll forever be in debt to you, and Luke will appreciate your help too.


    You''ll be the savior of our family!"


    Maxine saw that Allison kept on wiping tears from her eyes and looked at her pleadingly. "Don''t worry,


    Aunt Allison," she tried tofort her, "I''ll let Dad know about this and convince him to help you. Can


    you give me some time?"


    Allison nodded hurriedly and sighed with relief. "Alright, I''m relieved when you say that. We''re relying


    on you now, Maxine..." "Don''t say that, Aunt Allison. We''re rtives, and we should help each other in


    times of need. How about this..."


    Maxine chatted with Allison for another ten minutes before hanging up. She remained unsettled for a


    long time.


    Meanwhile, back in the beauty salon, Allison held two split chili peppers in her left hand and gestured a


    thumbs-up at Elise. The sorrow that she disyed during the video call could not be seen on her face


    now.


    She was very satisfied with Elise''s idea. Elise knew that Allison needed to cry, so she handed her the


    chili peppers to smear on her eyes.


    In the capital, Maxine''s unease grew after she ended the call. She did not know if her father would help


    Luke, considering that she hadined to her parents about Luke''s harshness ever since she got


    home.


    Irving Dous and Verona Smythe, Maxine''s parents, were happy that their daughter was back in the


    capital.


    The elderly couple had two sons and a daughter. Both of their sons were outstanding politicians, but


    the youngest daughter whom they conceived at an old age had been pampered since she was a girl.


    Even so, Irving and Verona were strict parents, and they did not spoil Maxine.


    Maxine was sent to a boarding school overseas when she was young so that she could learn how to be


    independent.


    Of course, her mother could not bear to see her precious daughter leave. The parents had quarreled


    for a long time because of that, but Irving insisted on his decision despite Verona''s threats.


    Maxine only returned to the country after she was soon to graduate from university.


    Verona was ted that her beloved daughter had finally returned. She thought that Maxine would


    spend some more time with her, but Maxine said that she had to hand in an internship report before


    she could graduate, and she insisted on doing her internship at T Corporation in A City.


    Naturally, Verona was unwilling to see her daughter leave again.


    There were plenty of famous corporations in the capital, and Verona could have found a cushy position


    for her daughter by utilizing her connections. Maxine could have led an easy life.


    T Corporation might be one of the top hundred corporations in the world, but A City was far away from


    the capital, and their influence did not reach there.


    Moreover, the Dous family did not have a cordial rtionship with the Crawford family. Allison and


    Irving might be cousins, but Verona did not like that stupid and materialistic woman.

    Fortunately, Allison''s son was a natural-born leader who turned a smallpany on the brink of


    bankruptcy into one of the biggest corporations in the country. Ever since then, the two families shared


    a flimsy rtionship. Maxine''s parents had tried to talk her out of it, but Maxine seemed to be obsessed


    with the idea of working in T Corporation. She said that working in T Corporation had been her dream


    even before she returned to the country. Her parents had no choice but to let her go.


    They expected that an overseas graduate like her would easily score a spot in thepany, but she


    failed her interview.


    Maxine was happy before she departed for A City, but she was dejected when she returned to the


    capital. Her parents found out that Luke was the one who did not want their daughter to work in his


    company, and their dissatisfaction toward Luke grew.


    They did not understand why Luke would not do that favor for their daughter but instead had humiliated


    her.


    They thought that the young man had been arrogant. Soon, they would teach him a lesson for


    offending their daughter!
