"You!" Allison was not so stupid as to ring the inte and inform Luke that she was at the door.


    The security guard noticed her sharp gaze and wondered.


    ‘Mr. Crawford’s so outstanding, but why does his mother look so old?’


    Allison snorted coldly and put on her sunsses.


    Sophian''s lips were pale from being in the cold, so she said softly, "Ms. Allison, I''m afraid we won''t be


    able to get in today. Why don''t we go back? You haven''t had lunch yet."


    Allison crossed her hands in front of her chest.


    ‘When have I been so embarrassed?! If I leave now, the security guard will look down on me!’


    She insisted on getting her way. "Didn''t she go get groceries? I''ll wait for her toe back. I don''t


    believe that she won''te back."


    The security guard could not help but chuckle when he heard what she said.


    Allison heard him and turned to stare at the security guard with an arrogant expression. "What are you


    laughing at?"


    "Nothing." The security guard did not say anything more.


    Their property had a total of four entrance from the south, east, and northwest, plus two exits in the


    underground parking lot.


    If Aunt Neile wanted to hide from Allison, she could go in from another entrance and would not have to


    run into Allison at all.


    Seeing that Allison insisted on waiting, Sophian wanted to remind her that properties as such would


    have more than one entrance.


    However, Allison’s attitude was firm as she stood waiting. If Sophian said something, Allison might


    reprimand her.


    Sophian pulled her cor up as the weather in A City was cold that day...

    ...


    Aunt Neile hurried away, nced back, and made sure that Allison was not following her before she


    took out her phone and called Luke.


    "Mr. Crawford, I bumped into Madam Allison at the gate of themunity just now. She wanted to


    come in to look for you but she didn''t have an ess card, so she was stopped by security. I didn''t give


    her ess either," Aunt Neile said.


    "I see." Luke was not too surprised. He already knew that Allison would be visiting sooner orter.


    "Mr. Crawford, I think Madam Allison is still waiting at the entrance. Do you want to inform the


    management office?" Aunt Neile asked.


    Allison was like a crocodile that would not let go of her prey. She was iparable to ordinary people.


    "I know what to do. Enter through another entrance when youe backter," Luke said. The kids


    want to eat fruits, but the fruits at home had all been juiced by Luca. They forgot to get some fresh


    ones, so Aunt Neile went to get groceries.


    "Okay, got it, Mr. Crawford." Aunt Neile responded.


    After he hung up the call, Luca asked, "Ms. Tanner is at the gate?"


    "Yeah, she''s likely still there now." Luke picked up thendline, called the management office, and


    exined the situation to them. He made it clear that he did not want any visitors.


    Luca frowned as she listened to Luke''s instructions to the property''s management office.


    Even if they did not allow Allison in, it would still be vexing to leave her at the gate as she was bound to


    make a fuss.


    Moreover, there was no rest for those who worked in the media. There were always reporters waiting at


    the entrance of high-endmunities as such where celebrities came and went.


    It would not look good for Luke if Allison made a fuss and was photographed by reporters.


    Luca could not help but worry.


    After Luke finished instructing the management office on the next steps, he put down the phone and


    noticed that Luca was frowning. He said, "I''ll take care of this."


    "Mr. Crawford, I don''t think you should fight her head-on. Ms. Tanner has nothing. She might fight like


    Kilkenny cats," Luca said to him.


    Luke shook his head and affirmed to her, "She won''t."


    Luca frowned and wondered why Luke would say that.


    "Her living expenses are still funded by me. She''s free to continue making a scene if she doesn''t want


    any more money from me," Luke said. He believed that it would be her loss even if he backed off from


    the fight.


    Luca nodded in acknowledgment when she realized that Luke had notpletely cut off Allison.


    If she were Allison, she would opt to keep a low profile so she could enjoy the rest of her life...


    She was worried that Allison would not think the same.


    "I think you should talk to Ms. Tanner. Otherwise, she might make a big fuss at the entrance and


    embarrass the Crawfords. Old Master Crawford won''t be happy about that," Luca said.


    Allison became Madam Crawford by scheming her way through. Although she did a lot of bad things,


    she managed to avoid a lot of punishment by virtue of her wisdom.


    However, in the past few years, she seemed to have lost it. She no longer worked smart and did things


    that hurt her interests.


    Luca was worried that if no one talked to Allison, she might do something that would hurt Luke and


    herself.


    "Let''s see how it goes tomorrow," Luke said as he amplified the volume of the TV.


    After lunch, the children went back to their respective bedrooms, so he and Luca sat on the sofa in the


    living room and watched a movie together. He intended to enjoy the rare alone time between the two.


    He did not expect that Allison woulde to ruin it.


    “Mm." Luca nodded. Luke knew Allison better than she did, so she did not continue the topic.


    Allison stood at the gate and waited for more than an hour, but Aunt Neile did not return.


    Her legs became sore and she stomped her feet. She muttered, "Why hasn''t shee back yet?"


    "Ms. Allison, there might be more than one entrance..." Sophian could not stand the cold. She said


    directly at the risk of being scolded.


    "Of course, I know that! But she can''t possibly know that much..." Allison frowned. Luke was not the


    type to share everything.


    Aunt Neile was just a maid, after all.


    Allison believed that she could not possibly know so many things, which was why she insisted on


    waiting for Aunt Neile toe back.


    "Ms. Allison, she may have gone in from another entrance. She''s a professional maid. How could she


    have made such a low-level mistake of forgetting to bring the ess card?" Sophian said. She would


    not apany Allison to wait in vain if she did not still need her.


    They had been waiting forever for Aunt Neile in the cold.


    The security guard on the side chimed in, "Ma''am, you should leave. The property manager just


    informed me that Mr. Crawford has told the management office that he won''t be epting any visitors.


    Even if you press the pager now, he has turned his off and won''t be able to receive your message."


    "What?!" Allison could not believe it, so she stepped forward and pressed the number corresponding to


    Luke''s vi.


    It was a busy tone.


    Aunt Neile must have informed him. Otherwise, he would not have known that she was waiting at the


    entrance.


    The security guard said, "Look, I didn''t lie to you. If you still want to go in, all you can do is call him and


    ask him to let you in."


    Allison did not need to call Luke to know that he must have blocked her.


    "What a scoundrel!" Allison could not help but shout, "I gave birth to him for nothing! I shouldn''t have


    brought him back from the orphanage in the first ce!"


    She was so angry that she did not care that the security guard was next to her.


    Sophian hurriedly grabbed her hand and said softly, "Ms. Allison, let''s figure out another way. We


    should keep the drama within the family. Let''s go back first."
