Luke listened to her exnation and asked the question that Allison was most concerned about, “Can


    her skin be cured?”


    Luca stayed silent for a while and told him the worst-case scenario, “Even if we find out what the


    chemical substance is, the condition of her face may not be reversed. It’s been too long. All I can do is


    guarantee that the skin on her face will no longer deteriorate. It would be very difficult for it to return to


    its original appearance.”


    Luke nodded and understood the logic behind her statement.


    If Allison had not been stubborn and insisted on standing against Luke, her situation would not have


    progressed to where it was now.


    “Mr. Crawford, the other skincare products used by Ms. Tanner are all well-known brands except for


    this serum… I think someone deliberately harmed your mother,” Luca said.


    Luke nodded. During that time, his attention was on Bianca and T Corporation. He did not know much


    about Allison’s situation, but if someone had deliberately plotted against her, he would be able to


    investigate it even though three years had passed.


    Luca was puzzled seeing him nodding without saying anything else.


    She wanted to remind Luke about the two sisters who had served Allison before.


    However, she was Luca, not Bianca. Hence, it was not her ce to say anything.


    Luke noticed that she seemed hesitant to speak and asked, “Do you have anything else to add?”


    “No, Mr. Crawford. I’ll report to you when I find out more about the chemical substance. I’m going to


    head back to my office now.” Luca picked up the documents and stood up.


    Luke did not say anything. After he reacted with a hum, he continued to look at his documents.


    When Luca walked to the entrance of the office, she heard him say, “This is not that urgent, so don’t


    stay upte because of it.”


    She did not look back but touched her face.


    After pulling an all-nighter, her skin condition must be very bad, not to mention the dark circles under


    her eyes.


    ‘Would Luke think that I rushed this to please him?’


    Luca did not dare to think too much and hurriedly left with the files. She ran into Jason in the corridor.


    “Dr. Craw, are you done?” he asked with a smile.


    Luca nodded and replied, “It was a simple update with Mr. Crawford on the analysis done yesterday.”


    “Simple?” Jason looked at the dark circles under her eyes and said, “Dr. Craw, the dark circles under


    your eyes from staying up all night is obvious. If the task is urgent, Mr. Crawford will tell you. If he didn’t


    say anything, you don’t have to work overtime for it. “


    Luca smiled and replied, “I know.”


    All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    “Madam’s situation…” Jason checked in on Allison. Considering that she was about to be released


    from prison, if her condition did not get better, Luke may never hear the end of it.


    “Terrible.” Luca was honest.


    When Jason heard her reply, he sighed and shook his head. “That’s it, the Crawford family will never


    have peace.”


    Luca knew what he meant.


    As the mistress of Luke’s father, Allison had always lived the life of a socialite. Her favorite pastime was


    competing with Susan Armstrong. Now that her face had be as such, she would be ridiculed and


    the two would get into a catfight upon her return to Crawford Manor. In that situation, Luke would be


    caught in the middle.


    “Mr. Doyle, I’m going downstairs first,” Luca said.


    Jason nodded. He realized that he should not have discussed Luke’s family affairs in front of her, so he


    said, “Dr. Craw, don’t take what I said just now to heart.”


    “I understand.” Luca knew what he meant.


    In the afternoon, Rhett went to Luca with some updates.


    Luca looked at the chemicalposition report and frowned. The materials used to synthesize the


    chemical substance were very cheap. It was nothing close to being high-ss.


    However, such an inexpensive chemical substance could neutralize the alcohol, bleach, and


    fluorescent agent in the serum.


    That was why when consumers used the product on their faces, they would not feel ufortable and


    the effect was immediate.


    Moreover, this chemical substance wasparable to a drug. It was just as addictive as many


    psychotropic drugs.


    To be precise, the skin would be dependent on this chemical substance. Once the consumer


    stopped using it, the skin would be dehydrated, the fatyer and the epidermisyer would separate,


    and there would be a strong reaction. Eventually, the consumer’s skin would end up like Allison’s skin.


    The point was that it was irreversible.


    Even if consumers used the serum again, the fatyer would no longer plump up and be able to


    support the skin.


    “Sure enough, it’s irreversible.” Luca sighed helplessly after she read the report.


    “Dr. Craw, there are not many chemical factories using this chemical substance. Cosmetics


    manufacturers would not dare to use it because once it’s detected, they would be fined. What beauty


    product did you find this substance in?” Rhett asked.


    “It’s a product that has no name, no address, and no production and sanitation license code,” Luca


    said. Proper cosmetics research and developmentpanies would not dare use such things but there


    were always unscrupulous businesses that used the substance to obtain huge profits.


    They would put it into production but products as such were not generally marketed and sold in the


    market. Looking at the exquisite packaging, their target market should be socialites.


    The two girls who served Allison before were probably one of the sales personnel.


    Luca did not know how many people were using this unregistered skincare product. She filed a report


    and sent it to Luke’s mailbox. She then sent another copy to Johann.


    After a while, Johann called her.


    “Dr. Craw, I didn’t expect you to find out about the matter so quickly. The blood analysis report just


    came out.”


    Luca listened to his words and asked in a neutral tone, “I’m guessing there weren’t any problems


    highlighted in your report, right?”


    It was difficult for that chemical substance to prate the blood vessels, but if the product was used


    for a long time, it would still affect the blood to some extent.


    Although Allison’s face was in a terrible condition, the skin on her body was still normal. Hence, Luca


    assumed that she had not used the serum for a long time, which was why it only affected her face. The


    substance had yet to enter Allison’s bloodstream, so it did not affect other parts of her body.


    “How did you know? That’s amazing.” Johann praised her. The woman on the other end of the phone


    was indeed different from other women.


    He had previously envied Luke for having a good wife like Bianca, and now he envied Luke for having


    such a smart and capable subordinate.


    “The skin on Ms. Tanner’s body isn’t affected, nor is her body function, so my guess is that she didn’t


    use the serum for a long time. It has not caused systemic damage,” Luca exined her thought


    process.


    “It’s a pity. There’s no systemic damage but the damage on the face is irreparable.” Johann sighed. He


    was familiar with this substance. Once used, the skin would be like an addicted individual who could


    never give up on the chemical substance.


    Luca lowered her gaze. She was sure that Allison would cause trouble.


    Whenever she made a fuss, Luke would never be at peace…


    If Allison were not Luke’s mother, she would not stay up all night running analysis. It was unfortunate


    that the results of this analysis would not help Allison’s condition.
