Allison handed the phone to Sophian after she unlocked it.
Sophian took it and dialed the maid's number.
The call did not get through...
Sophian felt awkward and handed the phone back to Allison.
"What's wrong?" Allison frowned when she saw Sophian's expression.
"Ms. Allison, your number seems to have been blocked too,” Sophian said cautiously. The phone in her hand was like
a hot potato. Allison did not take it, so she put it on the sofa.
"I got blocked too? How is that possible?!" Allison could not believe it. She wiped her hands on a tissue, picked up
her phone, and called the maid.
She finally believed that she was blocked when she heard a mechanical female voice.
Sophian did not speak. She was waiting for Allison's next order.
Allison called the butler.
The butler did not block her number, so he answered. "Madam Allison, good afternoon."
"What happened to the maid you sent over? Did she block me? Does she not want her job anymore?" Allison was
frustrated.
"Master Luke asked the maid to go back to Crawford Manor. She won't be going to your villa anymore from now
on." When the butler explained the situation to her, he made it clear that it was Luke's decision.
He did not have the power to make decisions as such, so he did not attempt to hide that Luke was the one who did
it.
Allison looked at Sophian awkwardly.
"How could he do this to me? Wasn't that maid assigned to me?" she shouted. She knew that her life would be a
mess if she was without a maid.
"You'd better ask Master Luke about this. We're only acting as per his instructions." The butler was distressed by her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyelling and pulled the phone away from his ear.
Allison knew why Luke did that. It was because she was protecting Sophian at all costs.
However, how could a son punish his mother?!
Allison acted like a shrew. She was no longer the elegant lady she pretended to be. "I don't care! I'm Madam
Crawford, the daughter-in-law of Old Master Crawford. You have to arrange a maid for me." "Master Luke said that
if you need a maid, you can hire one yourself. The maids from Crawford Manor are no longer available to you," the
butler said.
Allison clenched her fist and nearly threw her phone when she heard the butler relay Luke's words.
Her chest rose and fell. She was breathing hard to manage her emotions. "Do you think I won't go to Old Master
Crawford?"
The butler knew she would say that, so he added, "Master Luke also said that if you come back to Crawford Manor,
he'll go to Old Master Crawford and tell him everything that you and Ms. Thomas did. The police will be notified to
arrest her as well... He has evidence in his hand."
Sophian heard that and turned pale in an instant.
Luke did not want to let her go!
"How dare he?!" Allison got even angrier, but the feeling of powerlessness in her heart was growing.
She knew Luke's temperament. There was nothing he was afraid of.
If Old Master Crawford knew she had let a woman seduce Luke, he would flip on the spot.
"Madam Allison, don't try to mess with Master Luke. I'm sorry, but Old Master Crawford is asking for me. I have to
hang up now." The butler hung up Allison's call without hesitation.
He had fully relayed Luke's message. If he did not hang up, he would have to endure Allison's wrath.
The butler was not willing to bear that since he did not cause the ordeal.
Allison wanted to smash things in anger.
Sophian quickly grabbed her hand when she saw that Allison was about to throw her phone. "Ms.
Allison, don't be angry. It'll be difficult to get a new phone if you break it now."
Many shopping malls were closed for the New Year, including mobile phone stores.
They would then have to buy it online, and since the courier service was also on holiday, they would have to wait
quite a while for the delivery to arrive.
Allison slammed her phone on the coffee table and shouted, "How dare he..."
"Ms. Allison, calm down." Sophian pursed her lips. She was unsure of what to say.
She did not dare to speak on behalf of Luke nor claim that she was innocent. After all, Allison would find some way
to blame her anyway.
Sophian put her hands on her shoulders and wanted to give her a massage to soothe her.
Allison shrugged and shook her hands off.
Sophian did not dare to let out a breath. She looked at Allison with her teary eyes and said, "Ms. Allison, are you
hungry? I'll cook for you."
"I'm so angry that I feel full now!" Allison stood up, her face contorting with rage.
Sophian did not dare to say another word.
Allison paced around in anger and shouted, "He asked me to hire a maid myself?! Where can I get a maid now?
He's making it impossible for me to live in A City!"
Sophian still did not dare to say anything. If it were someone else, they would still be able to live without a maid.
However, it might not be the case for Allison.
She was used to being pampered. Even in Korea, Allison had hired a senior nurse who could speak her language
even when she had Sophian and the translator taking turns to take care of her.
She did not know how to do anything. When she wanted to eat a piece of fruit, she had to ask others to wash it
before she would eat it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAllison did not even know how to peel fruits.
"Are you dumb? Why are you keeping quiet?" Allison put her hands on her hips. Her face was flushed because she
was angry.
"Ms. Allison, you have me," Sophian said.
"No, I can't let this go." Allison paced back and forth before she picked up the phone and called Lliam.
The call could not get through. It was still the cold female voice that greeted her.
"Damn it." Allison did not call again because it was pointless. She knew that Lliam had blocked her.
Sophian was about to speak when Allison said, "Come on, put on your coat. Let's get a taxi."
"Ms. Allison, where are we going?" Sophian picked up the new coat hanging at the entrance and handed it to
Allison.
After Allison put on her coat, she said, "We're going to find Luke."
She would not be so stupid as to go to Old Master Crawford, so she could only go to Luke.
She already knew where Luke lived.
"Ms. Allison, Mr. Crawford just left not long ago. Are you sure you want to look for him now?" Sophian grimaced.
She was reluctant to go.
She was screwed if Luke continued to throw his temper and blame her.
"Why? What are you afraid of when I'm here next to you? Put on your coat," Allison said. She felt fortunate that she
had a backup plan.
After Luke transferred her the living expenses for that month, she transferred them to a private account that Luke
did not know about.
She had money temporarily, and it was money that Luke could not touch.
Sophian had no choice but to slowly put on her coat.
Even so, it did not stop Allison's determination to find Luke.
The two left the villa and walked for a while before they got to the main road.
It was New Year, and they were in the residential area. Everyone had a car, so there were no taxis passing by.
