Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Chapter 191 Luke Crawford Is Going Against Social Norms!

Allison did not like Bianca. She hated her ever since she knew that Bianca was a Rayne and was Kevin

Rayne’s daughter.

Any other woman could marry Luke and be her daughter-in-law, but absolutely not Bianca!

She had concealed her true sentiments about Bianca out of consideration of her son's feelings and the

family's harmony. Instead, she plotted covertly to keep her away.

She felt a little guilty looking at how angry her son had become, but at the same time felt that she did

not need to keep up with the act.

She would openly and brazenly keep that woman away from him!

Even if she would burn bridges with Luke, they were nevertheless mother and son. That was a

relationship that no one could write off for the rest of their lives.

"You want an explanation? About what? About how I've gone with that scumbag Kevin Rayne after I

was dumped by your father?" Allison confessed, considering her son's intelligent and relentless

temperament.

As expected, Luke looked extremely shocked.

Allison scrunched up her face and started crying. "I didn't want anyone to know about that

unmentionable past. When he was alive, your father was domineering and merciless. He won't forgive

me if he knew that I went with that scumbag Kevin Rayne, and he won't accept you as his son either!

I've hidden that secret from everyone for more than twenty years!

"Now, even though your father is gone, I still wished you hadn't known about that contemptible episode.

That's why I tried everything to stop you from being in contact with Bianca. I thought that you weren't

serious with her, and if that were the case, you should have left her as soon as you can.

I don't want you to end up like your mother, forced into a dead end by a Rayne..."

As she spoke, she went over to the vanity and opened a safe.

Inside was a stack of receipts. All the jewelry and other expensive things were gone.

"Look at these!’ She handed the stack of receipts to her son.

Luke looked at them. They were receipts of jewelry sold for money.

Like most other women, Allison loved jewelry.

Over the years, Luke had attended many charity events with jewelry put on auction. However, there

were no females in the household other than his mother and his very young daughter.

He would not hesitate to bid on the items and pass them to his mother since he knew that she loved

jewelry.

He was surprised that all that jewelry had been turned into money.

Logically, his mother should not have been short on spending money.

However, according to the Crawford family tradition, all expenditures were recorded and tracked.

It was a habit passed down from Old Master Crawford's father. Whenever someone in the family spent

money, it would be recorded down, so that no one would use the family money for illicit means.

Now that the expensive jewelry had turned into money, where did the money go?

Allison sighed when her eyes met with her son's interrogative gaze. "Kevin Rayne is ill, and he needs a

lot of money for treatment. It was the same time when I forced Bianca Rayne to leave you.

"She knows about my sordid past with her father, and she tries to give me trouble whenever she

could...

"From then on, the father and daughter blackmailed me countless times, i

"Now that all my jewelry is gone and I don't have any more money to give them... that was what you

heard earlier. It doesn't matter if it was a coincidence or a well-devised plot, I'm confessing to you...

"Any mother in this world would not want her son to be involved with that sort of woman. She's not

meant for you! I was forced to lie to her, that she

was my daughter, just so that she could leave you. I wanted to prove to her that I would provide her

everything as her mother, and she can ask for money from me whenever she wants, as long as she

leaves my son alone!

"I didn't expect her to reveal the secret between us. I think she knows that I don't have any more

money for her, and so she wants to take revenge on me! Only when she managed to break you away

from me, she would be able to seduce you. She wants you to stand on her side to oppose your birth

mother!"

The gears in Allison's brain whirred at record speeds as she spoke.

Anything to irredeemably ruin the reputation of Bianca and her sickly father!

As Luke listened to all that, he was not swayed by his mother's hysteria. Instead, he was indescribably

angry.

'Why does Mother insist on not speaking the truth?'

Luke knew whom he should trust. Before he left the scene, he looked at his mother and said to her,

"Bianca isn't plotting anything, but she's not an idiot either. Many women want money from me, but she

isn't one of them. I've never doubted my ability to judge a person's character, and I’ve always known

that there's more to you than meets the eye."

Allison's heart sunk into despair when her eyes met with her son's icy gaze and she listened to those

words.

Her son did not believe him, no matter how hard she tried to convince him! He only trusted that

seductress!

Luke paused for two seconds and continued, "If a son is unwilling to even trust his mother, perhaps the

mother ought to reflect upon her actions.

Maybe she has meddled too much."

The caretakers went downstairs. They knew that they should not eavesdrop on the conversations

among their masters.

It was best not to get involved at all!

Luke walked down the stairs. The caretakers cleaning downstairs paused their chores and greeted him

"Sir" or "Young Master."

Luke's brows were raised dangerously. As he walked across the yard, he looked like a bad-tempered

noble from a period drama.

"Luke, what's going on so early in the morning..."

Old Master Crawford noticed his grandson leaving the manor. He wanted to speak to him, but Luke did

not even turn around. Instead, he got into his car, floored the gas pedal, and sped away.

Without her son's trust, Allison had to rely on other forces to stop Bianca from entering the Crawford

household.

Now, only Old Master Crawford was the only one who could control her son!

"Shouldn't you do something about this, Father? It'll be a disaster!" Allison cried dejectedly as she

walked down the stairs.

Old Master Crawford was surprised.

Allison told him about what happened earlier that morning. "If the Tanners know that Luke made out

with their son's wife, I can't predict what they'll do! Indeed, Xavier has snatched Bianca away from

Luke, but their marriage is legally protected. Father, are you going to allow your grandson to ruin the

family's reputation?"

When Old Master Crawford heard that, his chest immediately tightened, and he could not breathe.

Allison quickly stepped up to steady Old Master Crawford while yelling at a caretaker near the door.

"Quick, call Young Master Luke! Tell him that his grandfather is suffering a heart attack!"
