Sure enough, Allison frowned as she was repulsed. "It's so plain. Others might think that we can't afford to eat
meat."
"Madam Allison, we only have vegetarian food at home today. This is all we have," the butler whispered. He could
not do anything even though Allison was dissatisfied.
There were other ingredients in the refrigerator, but Old Master Crawford made it clear that they all had to eat
vegetarian food today. He could not make an exception for her as Old Master Crawford would be furious when he
found out.
The Crawfords could eat meat, just not at Crawford Manor.
Allison could not help but mutter, "I chose a bad time to come back."
"Madam Allison, do you still want to eat breakfast?" the butler asked. He did not give her other choices. She could
either choose to eat or not.
"Of course! I'm starving. Bring it to my room," Allison said.
"Okay, Madam Allison." The butler looked at Sophian. He had to treat her like a guest even though what she did had
spread throughout Crawford Manor. Old Master Crawford had heard about it as well. "Ms.
Thomas, do you want breakfast?"
Sophian regretted finishing the rest of the cereal. She would not have done that if she knew that Allison would head
back to Crawford Manor.
After all, the food prepared by Crawford Manor's cook was quite different from that of cereal.
"No, thank you. I've already eaten." Sophian tried to be as polite as possible. Although she knew that her reputation
here could not be worse, she still had to maintain her image.
"Okay." The butler turned around and walked into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Allison.
Allison took off her scarf, glanced at Sophian, and said, "Come on. Let's go upstairs."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Okay, Ms. Allison." Sophian followed her upstairs.
When they arrived on the second floor, Allison walked to her bedroom.
There was no change in her bedroom. It was the same as when she left. It seemed that no one had cleaned it
since...
Nevertheless, it did not make a difference. Crawford Manor was spotless, so there would not be much dust even if
the room was not cleaned for a few days.
"Ms. Allison, are we going to spend the night here?" Sophian asked. She could not help but feel a little excited and
got some ideas when she thought of spending another night at Crawford Manor.
"We're leaving right after the goal is achieved. I don't know if that b*tch Susan cursed my room when I was away. I
can't sleep well if I stay here tonight," Allison said. She did not plan to fight for anything. After all, the important
guests had already visited over the last few days.
Crawford Manor would be quiet for the next few days. If she stayed, all she could do was fight with Susan, which
she could not be bothered to do at that moment.
She did not want to risk angering Old Master Crawford any more than she already had.
"Okay. I'm just worried that your body will be overwhelmed by running around too much." Sophian's eyes flashed
with disappointment when she found out that she could not spend the night at Crawford Manor...
She had uploaded the photos she took last time on social media.
Those photos made her popular among her circle of friends. Many expressed their envy and asked her if she had
met a rich man.
Sophian thought that if she could stay there for another night, she would be able to take a lot of photos and
continue to show off on social media.
Allison knew what she had in mind and said, "Why? You want to stay here?"
"Ms. Allison, I didn't..." Sophian shook her head.
"If it wasn't for my son, Luke, this family wouldn't have reserved a bedroom for me. Your guest room was cleaned
up long ago. The rest of the Crawford don't welcome you. If you don't believe it, wait and see." Allison sat on the
couch. She crossed her legs gracefully.
She sat like a lady, but her hideous face was not at all ladylike.
"Ms. Allison, it was just a casual question," Sophian explained immediately. She was frustrated at herself for not
hiding her intentions well enough that Allison took notice.
Allison smiled, and the folds on her face crumpled together.
The butler brought Allison breakfast and a cup of coffee for Sophian. After he put it down, he did not say anything
and was about to leave.
Allison said, "Let me know when Dad comes back later."
"Okay, Madam Allison," the butler responded and turned around to leave.
Allison gestured for Sophian to close the bedroom door. After doing that, Sophian sat across from her.
"Ms. Allison, are you just going to wait here?" Sophian took a sip of her coffee. Although she could not judge the
quality of the coffee beans, she thought that the coffee that she was served was the best that she had ever had.
"What else can I do?" Allison picked up a plain croissant and took a bite. Although it did not taste like meat, it was
much better than cereal.
"Won't it be boring for you? If only I brought over some skincare products, then I could do a facial for you to pass
the time," Sophian said.
Allison yawned and said, "It's boring, but for now, I don't have the headspace to think about getting a facial. I'll be
taking a nap after breakfast. Stay right here and don't make any noises that'll disturb me."
She was worried that Sophian would wander around and cause more trouble for her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAllison's only way out was Old Master Crawford. She did not want to cause any trouble.
"Ms. Allison, can't I walk around?" Sophian felt that Allison was trying to keep her captive. She was a little unhappy
but did not dare to show it.
"It's not the time to complicate things. Didn't you wake up early today? Why don't you sleep for a bit more? You're
petite, so you'll fit on the sofa perfectly," Allison said. She took a sip of coffee and wiped her mouth before she
stood up and walked to the bed.
Sophian watched Allison lay down and tuck herself in before she glanced at the leftover breakfast on the coffee
table.
She sighed helplessly and cleaned up the table before she brought it outside the door. She then closed the door.
Since Allison said so, she did not dare to walk around the house and could only sit on the sofa to play with her
phone.
Since she could not make a sound and she did not bring headphones, Sophian could only read a to kill time.
Old Master Crawford and the others returned to Crawford Manor at noon.
When the butler saw Old Master Crawford, he stepped forward to support him.
Old Master Crawford changed his shoes and asked, "Is lunch ready?"
"It's ready, but Old Master Crawford, Madam Allison is back. She said that she has something urgent to talk to you
about," the butler said.
"She's back? What for?" Allison had called him to complain about Luke, but he ignored what she said after he
learned more about the situation. He was annoyed that his daughter-in-law had come back.
Susan heard Allison's name mentioned and eavesdropped on their conversation.
"She didn't tell me anything. She just said that she has something important to talk to you about. Do you want me
to tell her to come downstairs now?" the butler asked.
"She's upstairs now?" Old Master Crawford asked.
"Yes, she said to let her know immediately when you're back," the butler nodded and repeated what Allison said.
