"Susan, you're not any better, you biddy." Allison would not back off as she took the candle handed over by the butler.
"You..." Susan was about to make a scene when Old Master Crawford scolded angrily, "Was yesterday not enough? Do you
want to argue in front of the ancestors today too?"
Allison looked at Susan provocatively.
Susan clenched her fists and wished she could slap Allison in front of the ancestors' and Zachary's tablets.
After Allison placed the candle in front of the ancestors' tablet, she put the remaining candles in front of Zachary's tablet.
The people around her were watching, so she wiped away her crocodile tears and said, "Zachary, how have you been?"
Susan frowned.
Zachary had been gone for so many years. She did not understand why Allison chose to put on a show now.
'No one will believe you. Stop humiliating yourself.
When Allison saw that no one intended to talk to her, she continued her performance and lay on the table before she started
crying. "You left such a mess for me. I've been having a hard time all these years. I had to raise Luke and face all kinds of
pressure. Sigh, I wish you had taken me with you when you left."
Old Master Crawford saw Allison crying to Zachary with tears and snot on her face. He asked sternly, "Do you feel that you've
been wronged during your time at the Crawfords? Did we starve you or something?"
Allison was startled and stopped crying. "Dad..."
"Over the years, you've always gotten everything that Susan would get. Luke has been treating you well. But you did so many
things to harm our family. Others might think that you're an enemy of the Crawfords instead of my daughter-in-law! Do you think
that the Crawfords have anything to do with what you've become?!" Old Master Crawford continued to ask, and his expression
was ugly.
He had always treated them as equals, but Allison seemed to believe that he was biased and mean. Old Master Crawford could
not believe that she chose such a day to complain to Zachary.
Old Master Crawford felt like his tolerance of her in the past all went down the dumps.
Allison realized that she went too far. Although she was annoyed with Old Master Crawford, he was now acting up in front of
everyone. She quickly explained, "Dad, I don't mean that. I just don't feel like this family wants me. I'm being challenged for
everything that I do. I'm so sad..."
She was hinting that it was Susan who made her life difficult.
Old Master Crawford snorted coldly. "Go back to your villa if you feel uncomfortable. Don't disrupt the peace of the ancestors.
Butler, get the chauffeur to take her back to the villa after breakfast."
Allison was stunned. She did not expect that her little speech had turned into a self-defeating act.
She hurriedly shook her head and said, "Dad, I don't want to go back. I'll stay here to serve you and honor you this new year.
Don't send me back."
"I don't want you here." Old Master Crawford was not soft-hearted at all. In the past, he tolerated all kinds of things because of
Luke. However, he did not hold back now that she had said such things in front of the whole family.
Luke understood why Old Master Crawford did so.
"Butler, let the chauffeur know and have him wait at the door."
"Yes, Old Master Crawford." The butler walked out of the ancestral hall to make the necessary arrangements.
"Dad..." Allison wanted to chase after him but was frightened by the look in Old Master Crawford's eyes, so she stopped abruptly.
She knew that if she said anything more, she would be thrown out of the Crawford family by Old Master Crawford.
If that happened, she would have nothing.
Allison did not think that things would turn out this way. She just wanted to let Old Master Crawford know that she had been
leading a hard life and have him give her some slack.
She looked at Luke and said, "Luke, help me."
Luke looked cold. She glanced at Sophian and said indifferently, "Grandpa is right. You should go back to the villa."
"Luke, I'm your mother. Why are you saying that?!" Allison was raving mad. She did not dare to disobey Old Master Crawford,
but she still dared to say such things to Luke while taking advantage of their relationship.
Luke walked out.
Her presence would only stir up disputes. Since Old Master Crawford had ordered her to go back to the villa, he was more than
happy to go along with it.
"Luke!" Allison stamped her feet anxiously and stepped forward to stop him. "You're my son! You should side with me. How dare
you go against me in front of everyone?!"
Luke walked around her without stopping.
"You..."
Allison wanted to start swearing at Luke when she heard Susan say, "Why? Do you want to continue acting like a shrew here for
the new year?"
Allison stared at the woman who was not far away. 'If she wasn't around, I wouldn't be shamed like this!
It's all her fault!”
"What are you so proud of? Sooner or later, you'll be kicked out of Crawford Manor like me!" she cursed Susan.
"I'm not as brainless as you. You never learned your lesson and continued to work with outsiders to harm the Crawfords. Look,
even your son is not on your side now." Susan deliberately glanced at Luke. She was overjoyed.
"I'll tear your mouth apart if you keep talking nonsense!" Allison gritted her teeth and was about to launch her attack.
Sophian stopped her right away. Allison was kicked out of the Crawford Manor, but she was not being chased back to Korea.
However, if Allison kept on making a fuss, she might be sent to a plane heading to Korea right away. "Ms. Allison, don't be
angry."
Allison stared at Sophian, who held her back. "Let go."
Sophian was worried that Allison would displace her anger at her, so she bit her lip, struggled for a few seconds, and eventually
let go.
Susan laughed and said arrogantly, "Allison, who do you think you are? Look at the kind of person you've brought to our house.
You even got a woman like her to seduce your son. How entertaining. Is Luke really your biological son? How could a mother
defraud her son like that?"
Allison was confused. 'What does she mean? Seduce and defraud Luke?'
She did not understand the nonsense that Susan was spewing.
Sophian heard Susan, and her expression instantly changed. She knew that Susan had found out that Yuri had bumped into her
last night, so she hurriedly took Allison's hand and said, "Ms. Allison, stop wasting your time. If this goes any further, we might
not be able to deal with the consequences."
Allison pulled out her hand and asked with a frown, "Susan, what did you say?"
"Oh? Didn't you ask this woman to wear sexy lingerie and stand at the door of Luke's bedroom?" Susan raised her eyebrows.
She noticed Sophian's expression and guessed that Sophian did everything herself.
It could be possible that Allison knew nothing.
However, Sophian was brought into the house by Allison. Even if she did not know anything about it, she had to bear the
responsibility.
Allison could not believe what she heard. She stared at Sophian with wide eyes and uttered, "You did... what?!"
