Allison understood what the police officer meant.


    It was unlikely that she could im her money back. Even though she was lucky enough to im it, no


    one knew when it would happen.


    Besides, the longer it took, the lower the chances of iming it back.


    “Then what can I do now?" Allison asked. She could not wait to urge the police officer in front of her to


    investigate the case now.


    "Ms. Tanner, you should go home and wait for our call," said the police officer. Allison had signed and


    pressed her fingerprint on the document. That was all she had to do.


    Now, she had to wait for the police to further investigate it.


    "Okay..." Allison was unhappy. However, it was useless even if she urged the police to look into her


    case.


    Besides, Luke had already told her that he would not help her.


    After Allison left the police station, she got into the Crawford family''s car and returned to Crawford


    Manor.


    It was almost midnight. Sophian was still up. She was waiting for Allison toe back.


    Allison pushed the door open and walked into her bedroom. She frowned when she saw that Sophian


    was still there. Then, she asked, "Why are you not in bed at this hour?"


    "Ms. Allison, my colleague who''s working at the hospital called me just now." replied Allison. She had to


    inform Allison as soon as possible. Otherwise, she might get scolded for not telling her earlier.


    "The look on your face. Is it about the surgeon?" Allison had a bad feeling. She took off her mask and


    threw it into the trash bin.


    "Yes, Ms. Allison. The surgeon said he''ll only be working at the hospital for 10 days instead of half a


    month. That means if you don''t go back to Seoul this week, you''ll have to wait until he finishes his


    refresher course," said Sophian. It was too sudden, but it might be a good thing.


    "That soon?" Allison frowned. The police had only arrested the swindler. They would need some time to


    make him talk, and they needed time for investigation too. She could not wait until the police got her


    money back.


    There was only one way that would work now.


    Allison had to go for surgery. She had been receiving treatment for so long, and there was only one


    surgeon who said that her face could recover through surgery. She had to seize the chance this time.


    "It''s not up to us to decide the surgeon''s schedule. Ms. Allison, the police have arrested the swindler.


    You should''ve imed your money, right?" Sophian could see something was wrong from the look on


    Allison''s face, but she knowingly asked.


    “No. The police said that he refuses to say anything.” Allison frowned. She only had 10 days. Even if


    she could go for the surgery now, she could not return to Seoul.


    Her credit card... She had already maxed it out. There was no way she could travel there.


    Besides, even if she had her credit card with her, the credit limit would not be enough to pay for the


    surgery fees.


    Allison turned to look at the property deed on the coffee table. The papers had been crumpled into a


    ball by her.


    She had topromise. Only then she could get the money.


    Sophian looked in the direction where Allison was staring and saw the property deed.


    "Go to sleep. Come along with me to see him tomorrow." Allison did not mention who that person was,


    but Sophian knew who she was talking about.


    "Okay, Ms. Allison." Sophian nodded and left Allison''s bedroom.


    The following day.


    Luca got out of bed and prepared breakfast for Luke and the kids with Aunt Neile.


    After breakfast, Luke said to Aunt Neile, "Prepare a pot of warm tea and some refreshments."


    "Okay, Mr. Crawford. How many people will there be?" Aunt Neile asked.


    Luke pondered for a moment and replied, "Four."


    "Mr. Crawford, are there guestsingter?" Luca could not help but ask in surprise. If guests were


    coming, Luca had to know who they were. She had to avoid them if she needed to.


    "Yes. You know them too," answered Luke. He had already informed Mr. Zac and asked the notary to


    do some extra work for him today.


    Allison would beingter.


    Since Luke said Luca knew them too, she thought there was no need for her to avoid them either.


    She turned to look at Luke and wondered if it was Allison.


    Luke did not talk much about what happened to Allison yesterday. Luca did not ask him either.


    Half an hourter, Mr. Zac and the notary arrived at the vi.


    Luca stood in the living room. She understood what was going on when she saw Mr. Zac arrive. It was


    someone she was familiar with, indeed. After she greeted Mr. Zac, she walked into the kitchen,


    nning to serve the tea and refreshments to the guests.


    Aunt Neile heard the noisesing from the living room and asked in a low voice, "Ms. Craw, who''s


    coming today?"


    Luca remembered that Aunt Neile had never met Mr. Zac before, so she replied, "He''s Mr. Zac. He


    brought someone along with him, but I have no idea who he is." "Oh, awyer. Why did Mr. Crawford


    ask thewyer toe over?" Aunt Neile got even more curious. People like them seldom showed up


    in the vi.

    "I''m not sure..." Luca shook her head, picked up the tray with the teapot and cups, and walked out of


    the kitchen.


    Aunt Neile picked up the tray filled with refreshments and quickly followed Luca.


    "Please have some tea." Luca gently ced the tray on the coffee table. Then, she ced two clean


    cups in front of the two of them and filled their cups with tea.


    "Ms. Craw, it''s okay. We can do it ourselves," Mr. Zac immediately spoke. How could he ask Luke''s


    woman to serve them?


    He would not have the guts to do so!


    Luca put down the teapot, smiled at them, and said, "Mr. Crawford is upstairs. One moment, please."


    "Ms. Craw, we came here to help Mr. Crawford deals with some matters. Don''t mind us," Mr. Zac


    immediately said.


    "Okay. I''m going upstairs first." Luca smiled. It would be inappropriate for her to entertain Luke''s


    guests. It would be better for her to head upstairs and continue with her research.


    Luca came upstairs and ran into Luke. Then, she said, "Mr. Crawford, Mr. Zac is here. He brought


    someone along with him."


    "That''s the notary public from the Department of State," said Luke.


    "Department of State?" Luca was surprised.


    "I have a property deed to be notarized. That''s why I requested the notary to work today," exined


    Luke.


    "I see. I''ll leave you to it first. I''m going to do some experiments." Luca smiled. The property deed might


    have something to do with Allison.


    However, Luca did not give a second thought to the details.


    Downstairs.


    After the notary waited until Aunt Neile returned to the kitchen, he could no longer stand it and asked


    Mr. Zac, "Mr. Zac, who''s Ms. Craw? She doesn''t look like a maid to me."


    "Of course not. But it''d be better if you stop minding Mr. Crawford''s business," Mr. Zac reminded the


    notary with a stern voice.


    If they were too concerned with Luke''s affairs, they would eventuallye to a bad end.


    Hence, even if they saw Luca and Luca staying in the same room or living together, rumors would not


    spread.


    They were not reporters, and they knew what they should say and what they should not do. That was


    why they did not tell anyone about what they saw today.


    It was the same for the employees in T Corporation. No one had spread the gossip that Luca had gone


    on a business trip with Luke to Russiast time.


    Therefore, hardly anyone knew something was going on between Luke and Luca.
