Chapter 998 Installing the Signal Jammer


    Bianca fantasized about the carefree lifestyle after she and Luke retired.


    Their hair would have been graying, and they would be living a rxing life with their children and


    grandchildren without the troubles from work.


    As the sky continued to darken, the family walked back to the mansion.


    Old Master Crawford was sipping tea in the living room and watching financial news on the television.


    Susan and Allison had already retired to their bedrooms because they were not interested in that.


    Louis and his family were not in the house. They were at a dinner banquet.

    Only Old Master Crawford was in the spacious living room. Bianca looked at Luke and said, "I''ll go and


    help Lanie and Rainie with their homework." "Mm." Luke nodded and let go of her hand. He went to the


    couch and prepared to spend some time with his grandfather. "Grandfather." "How was the walk?" Old


    Master Crawford turned his head and nced at Bianca and the three children.


    Bianca smiled gently and replied, "I''ll go and help the children with their homework." "Go then." Old


    Master Crawford nodded and turned his head back to look at the television screen. He had retired from


    T Corporation, but he kept a close eye on economic trends.


    Luke saw that his teacup was already empty. He helped refill his grandfather''s cup.


    The newscaster was reporting on national tax reforms and analyzing the impact the changes would


    have on various industries.


    "What do you think?" Old Master Crawford asked. Before Luke moved out, they would watch the news


    together and discuss the various topics.


    "The impact won''t be too big," Luke said impassively as he listened to the report.


    The tax reforms were targeted toward small and medium businesses. The impact on a multinational


    company like T Corporation was negligible.


    Old Master Crawford seemed satisfied with the answer. Evidently, he hade to the same


    conclusion. "Not bad. Do you know about the changes already?" "Mm." Not only did Luke know about


    it, but he had also studied it thoroughly.


    "Not bad. What else is the government up to these days?" Old Master Crawford asked.


    "I''ve heard that they''re preparing to rezone a piece ofnd in the east of the city formercial use."


    Luke folded his long legs, made himselffortable, and continued to analyze the situation for his


    grandfather." The eastern side is quite close to the main city, and that area is currently undergoing


    rapid development. It will be very profitable if we can develop the area." "Mm. If T Corporation


    manages to acquire the developmental rights, our profits in the next few years will increase greatly.


    However, you''ll have to pay attention to our liquid assets. Don''t overspend it on investments," Old


    Master Crawford said and drained his teacup.


    "I know." Luke refilled his cup again. They chatted for a long time.


    Ten o''clock was Old Master Crawford''s bedtime. He stopped talking and went upstairs to read.


    After Old Master Crawford left, Luke remained sitting on the couch and drank tea.


    Allison came down the stairs. She frowned when she saw Luke sitting there. The living room would


    have been vacant if Luke had note back.


    She smiled and walked over. "Why aren''t you resting yet, Luke?" "It''s still early." Luke was watching the


    news on foreign stock markets. He had just sent Thea''s measurements to the ballet dressmaker.


    "Look at you. You must''ve gotten those eyebags from the business trip.


    That''s enough financial news for the day. You should go upstairs and rest."


    Allison pretended to be concerned about him.


    With Luke in the living room, she could not record the locations of the security cameras and install the


    signal jammer.


    The caretakers were usually in the living room during the day, so she could not do that. That was why


    she waited until nighttime.


    She had to give Jon the quantity and locations of the security cameras. After all, the signal jammer


    might not be totally efficient.


    The high-tech surveince system in Crawford Manor was updated once every half a year. She wanted


    to be absolutely sure that the heist was sessful.


    Luke turned off his phone. He wanted to analyze the stock market in peace, but Allison was talking


    non-stop into his ear. He stood up and headed toward the stairs.


    "Luke." Allison suddenly thought of something.


    "Hm?" Luke turned his head over. He seemed impassive.


    Allison was not too pleased about that. Luke had been treating her coldly ever since he got together


    with that woman.


    "Are Louis and the rest back yet?" She asked. She knew that Louis brought his wife and daughter out,


    but she did not know if they were back yet. She was not going to knock on their door to find out.


    "Not yet. Why do you ask?” Luke was getting suspicious. His mother was never concerned about Louis


    and his family.


    "Nothing, just asking," Allison said with a smile, though she was getting nervous.


    That made Luke even more suspicious.


    Allison exined, "I''m nning to turn off the lights. I won''t do that if they''re not back yet."


    Luke nodded and went upstairs.


    After seeing Luke disappear past the corner, She took out the signal jammer and ced it under the


    coffee table.


    It was her first time doing something like that, and she was afraid that she would be discovered.


    After activating the signal jammer, Allison took out a pair of sses.


    Jon managed to find her a pair of special sses. He thought that Allison would attract suspicion if she


    recorded the cameras with her phone.


    Allison lifted her head and spun slowly, pretending to look at the furniture.


    Then, she took out her phone and asked Jon. [Did you receive the video?] [Yes.] Jon replied very


    quickly. He had been hiding in the bushes outside of Crawford Manor.


    Allison went to the kitchen to pour herself a ss of water, then went up the stairs. Her head remained


    tilted upward throughout so that she could capture the locations of the cameras clearly.


    Once on the second floor, she did not immediately return to her room. Instead, she lingered around the


    lobby before going into the study.


    Old Master Crawford ced a lot of his antiques in the study. She pretended to be looking for a book,


    but she was transmitting the situation in the study to Jon.


    After looking around once, Allison picked up a random book from the shelves nervously and left the


    room.


    Back in the bedroom, she took off her sses and gave Jon a call. "Have you seen the route clearly?"


    "Yes, Madam." Jon had saved the video into his tablet and had been reying it.


    His methods were high-tech, unlike regr thieves. That was why Allison hired him.


    "Stick to the original n then. Take whatever you can, but don''t leave any trace. Also, don''t hurt


    anyone," Allison added.


    "I can''t hurt anyone?" Jon frowned. If he were discovered, it would be difficult for him to escape.


    "Yes. My son and grandchildren suddenly came back today. You don''t know who they are, so you''d


    better not hurt anyone," Allison said. If Luke and the children did note back, she would have asked


    him to injure anyone who stood in his way.
