The notary immediately understood what was going on once he heard that. He nodded and stopped


    gossiping about Luke.


    After all, he had met people like Luke before. Who would truly live like a saint?


    The notary smiled and forgot about it at the thought of this.


    He was instructed by his superior to deal with some matters. All he had to do was get his job done.


    There was no need for him to lose his job for gossip.


    "I''m sorry to have kept you waiting." Luke''s voice rang in their ears.


    Mr. Zac stood up and looked at the stairs. He smiled and replied, "Happy New Year, Mr. Crawford."


    "Mr. Crawford, Happy New Year," the notary immediately greeted him too.


    "Happy New Year. Do you mind waiting for a while?" Luke asked. He called Mr. Griffin before he


    headed downstairs. Luke had instructed Mr. Griffinst night. He wanted him to report Allison''s


    whereabouts to him.


    Allison woke up one and a half an hour ago, and she left Crawford Manor an hour ago.


    Only after Allison left the house did Luke inform Mr. Zac toe here with the notary.


    Luke did not expect them to arrive here earlier.


    "It''s okay. We''re avable today. Right, James?" Mr. Zac turned to look at the notary.


    "Yeah, right." James secretly mumbled to himself that it was not up to him to decide whether or not he


    had to work today. He had no choice but to wait.


    "Here. Have some tea." Luke entertained them.


    15 minutester, the doorbell rang.


    Aunt Neile went to answer the door. When she realized it was Allison who was outside the


    neighborhood''s entrance, she immediately informed Luke, "Mr. Crawford, it''s Madam Allison."


    "Yeah. I asked the property manager to let her in," said Luke. He asked the management to remove


    Allison''s name from the cklist. That way, he would be able to know she was here.


    "Then..." Aunt Neile heard Luca mention that Allison had gotten herself into some trouble. That was


    why they ended the vacation and came back earlier.


    Besides, thewyer and notary were here too. It seemed like they were here to deal with Allison''s affair.


    "Let her in," said Luke.


    “Okay, Mr. Crawford." Aunt Neile quickly went to open the door.


    Luke said, "She hasn''t been to this neighborhood yet. Lead the way."


    "I got it, Mr. Crawford." Aunt Neile took her coat out of the cab and walked out of the house.


    Mr. Zac did not say anything. He roughly knew what was going on when he heard what Luke said.


    As awyer, he had seen too many disputes between wealthy families. Hence, he knew it would be a


    wise choice to keep quiet when encountering such situations.


    15 minutester, Aunt Neile led Allison and Sophian to the vi.


    "Madam, Mr. Crawford is right in there. Please go in," Aunt Neile said respectfully.


    Allison scorned with disdain and walked into the living room right away.


    An ominous cloud shadowed her eyes when she saw that Mr. Zac was here too. She realized that Luke


    already knew that she woulde.


    Otherwise, Mr. Zac would not be here.


    Mr. Zac stood up and greeted Allison politely, "Ms. Tanner, Happy New Year."


    "How long have you been here?" Allison gave a rude reply. After all, he was just someone who served


    the Crawford family.


    She was one of the Crawford family. That was why she did not have to show any respect to him.

    "I just arrived not long ago." Mr. Zac smiled. Allison had always behaved that way. She was the most


    disrespectful one to him in the Crawford family. Mr. Zac had gotten used to it. After all, it was the


    privilege of being wealthy. That was how society worked.


    Even though Luke was the one who paid for his legal fees and the way he treated Mr. Zac was not as


    arrogant as Allison, the woman in front of him was Luke''s mother. Mr. Zac had no choice but to put up


    with Allison''s temper.


    After all, bing Luke''swyer would mean gaining more resources in A City.


    "Sit down." The look on Luke''s face was icy-cold. He shot a nce at Allison, and he could not be


    bothered to look at Sophian, who stood behind Allison.


    Allison sneered again and sat in an armchair.


    Sophian remained rooted in the spot, looking anxious.


    Allison looked up and said, "Sophian, take a seat."


    "Okay, Ms. Allison." Sophian sat on another armchair, carefully looking around the living room in the


    vi.


    The interior here waspletely different from Crawford Manor. Although it was simple, it gave people


    the impression that the renovation cost a lot of money.


    It was the favorite interior style of the upper ss these days.


    Sophian could not help but imagine how lucky she would be if she became thedy of the house.


    All of them were seated. Luke did not say a word, and Allison did not say anything either. There was an


    awkward silence in the air. James nudged Mr. Zac, who sat beside him, with his elbow.


    Mr. Zac bit the bullet and broke the silence in the living room. He said, "Mr. Crawford, Ms. Tanner, aren''t


    the both of you going to proceed with the transfer of the ownership of the property?"


    "Yes," replied Luke. That was all he said.


    Allison sat there, on pins and needles. She was worried that Luke would take advantage of her and


    seize the chance to reduce the price.


    Since Luke was expecting her today, that would mean the police had already informed him that they


    had arrested the suspect.


    Otherwise, Luke would not have seen thising. Thewyer even arrived earlier than her.


    Allison took the property deed out and said in a cold voice, "I can sign the deed, but you have to


    transfer me the money right away."


    "Two hours is needed to transfer such a huge amount of money," said Luke.


    "Fine." Allison sneered. Then, she signed her name on the property deed.


    Mr. Zac quickly handed her the ink pad and said, "Ms. Tanner, please affix your thumbprint on it too."


    Allison heard him and pressed her thumb on the document.


    Luke signed his name on top of the signature line on the document and did the same, leaving his


    thumbprint on it.


    Mr. Zac kept the two documents and let James handle the rest.


    Allison turned to look at Luke and said, "Transfer the money to me now."


    Luke picked up his phone, looked down at it, and worked on it. Atst, he handed Allison his phone to


    show her the transfer receipt. "Done."


    After Allison made sure the amount was correct, she mocked, "Never have I ever thought that my son,


    who lives in such a big vi, would do whatever it takes to own my property. The more capable he is,


    the more cunning he bes. I finally realized that."


    Mr. Zac felt awkward when he heard Allison mocking Luke. She deliberately said that in front of Luke


    and the others.


    However, they should not be listening to such things!


    Mr. Zac asked James, "Is everythingplete?"


    "Yes. We''ll have to wait for everyone in the department to get back to work, then we can proceed with


    the transfer of the ownership." James nodded. He had recorded a video of them signing the document


    with a camera just now.


    There was no way Allison could deny it after she received the money.


    "Okay." Mr. Zac and James stood up at the same time. Then, he said to Luke, "Mr. Crawford, we shall


    leave first. We might need you to head to the Department of Housing when we process the document.


    Then, we''ll inform you to get the certificate of title after going through all the procedures."
