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

"Don't blame Luke for getting scammed. Luke didn't make you invest your money with dubious people." Old Master

Crawford felt repulsed by what she said.

Allison was startled. It felt like her throat was stuffed with a mouthful of phlegm that she could not cough out. It felt

uncomfortable.

She did not expect Old Master Crawford to speak up for Luke like that.

"I—"

"Although Luke and you don't have the best relationship, he has never skimmed on your daily expenses as well as

your treatment in South Korea. You had so much money to invest because Luke gave you that money. Don't blame

others for your stupidity," Old Master Crawford lectured Allison with a stern expression.

"Dad, I know that it's my fault..." Allison realized that blaming it on Luke would not work.

It would not work even if she wanted to shift some of the blame to Luke.

Old Master Crawford was too smart and partial to Luke for that.

"I won't help you." Old Master Crawford said. Luke did not short Allison on her food and clothing. He held no

responsibility for Allison's being scammed.

Allison could not help but feel resentment in her heart. ‘If it were not for him behaving like this every time, I

wouldn't have gone to jail!'

She believed that she would not have ended up where she was if it were not for him.

"Dad, I know what you mean. I just want you to help me get in touch with Luke," Allison said.

Old Master Crawford suddenly thought of a very serious issue. "Did you borrow money from others to invest in this

scam?"

"No, but I just received my living expenses two days before the New Year and now I have no money to get me

through this month..." Allison shook her head quickly. Her living expenses for one month were enough for her to

invest. There was no need for her to borrow money from others.

It was just that that month's living expenses were just paid out and there were more than 20 days until the next

month. In these 20 days, she had to go back to South Korea for treatment, so a few hundred dollars was not

enough to cover her airfare and living expenses.

"You know I won't give you any money," Old Master Crawford said indifferently. Although Allison was his daughter-in-

law, what she had done was outrageous. He disliked her more and more each day

"Dad, I didn't even think of asking you for money. I just want you to contact Luke for me. Otherwise..." Allison

hesitated, but her tone was a little threatening.

"Otherwise what?" Old Master Crawford knew that Luke had blocked Allison. He noticed her threat, and his cloudy

eyes narrowed slightly. He had not looked at others like this in a long time.

In the past, when he looked at others like this, that person would see the end of their business within two months.

Allison was terrified by his stare. She had no other choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Otherwise, I can only live

at home. I know you don't want to see me, and I also want to go back to Korea for treatment, but I have no money.

If you can't help me contact Luke, I can only stay here until next month before I can go back to Korea.”

Although Old Master Crawford did not like her living here, she did not have to worry about food if she stayed in

Crawford Manor. If she did not shop, she would not have to spend a penny.

Old Master Crawford's mood sank.

She sounded helpless, but it was clear that she had planned it out carefully. There would be no peace if Allison

stayed here for another month.

"Go back first. I'll contact Luke for you later," Old Master Crawford said. Although he did not enjoy being threatened

by Allison, he did not want there to be any drama at home.

She and Susan would not get tired even if they argued for a month.

"Dad, why don't you contact him now?" Allison would only feel relieved if Old Master Crawford called Luke in front of

her.

"It's lunchtime. Can't you let Luke eat in peace?" Old Master Crawford asked. She, the mother, did not know how to

take pity on her son, but he, the grandfather, would still make sure that his grandson was taken care of.

Allison pursed her lips and stood up.

When she got to the door, Old Master Crawford asked, "You brought that woman back, didn't you?"

"Yes, Dad. She's helping me with my skin. I can't live without her." Allison looked at him. She was worried that he

would bring up what happened on New Year's Eve.

"This woman is sneaky. Make sure you keep a close eye on her. Louis is at home, and I don't want to see that kind of

thing happen again." Old Master Crawford warned her.

Allison breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Old Master Crawford did not come after her even though he

knew what had happened. She quickly agreed. "Don't worry, she won't dare to."

"Go out. I'll call Luke when it's almost time." Old Master Crawford leaned on the executive chair and closed his eyes.

Allison hurriedly left.

As soon as the study door closed, Old Master Crawford opened his eyes and took out his phone.

He did not call Luke in front of Allison because he knew her temperament.

Allison was respectful toward him but had never been kind to Luke. She treated him as if Luke owed her.

As such, he deliberately made up an excuse and did not call Luke in front of her.

There were still a few days of holiday left for the New Year, but now that Allison made such a mess, Old Master

Crawford had no choice but to inform Luke. He could not afford to get involved as the head of the family.

Susan would call him out for being unfair if he got involved.

Old Master Crawford chose to text Luke all about Allison being scammed and expressed his stance.

He received a reply from Luke soon after. [Grandpa, I'll come back tomorrow to deal with it.]

Old Master Crawford put his phone down and sighed.

If it were not for the impending feud at home, he would want Luke to let Allison be.

'How can a mother drag her son down like this?'

Outside the study.

When Susan saw Allison come out, she stepped forward and gloated on purpose. "Why are you back?"

Allison rolled her eyes and ignored Susan.

She was well aware that she could not afford to annoy Old Master Crawford now or she would not even be able to

stay in Crawford Manor.

After all, Old Master Crawford has made it clear that he would not help her monetarily but would help her contact

Luke. If she got into a big fight with Susan, she may be kicked out of Crawford Manor again.

Old Master Crawford only helped her reach out to Luke because he did not want her to stay in Crawford Manor for

the long term.

Quarrels were inevitable as long as she and Susan lived under the same roof. Allison thought of that and forced

herself to ignore Susan's disgusting face.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the wrinkles on your face are so horrifying. I didn't expect that you'd dare to come back," Susan

mocked her viciously.

Allison went past her and continued to ignore her.

Susan followed behind Allison and continued to make fun of her, "I heard that you came back after causing trouble

outside. What are you thinking? All you do is cause trouble for your son all day."
