Luca furrowed her brows as she was not the only one who was not willing to go. Gale refused to go as well.
“Mr. Crawford, if all of us go, what about the children at home?" she asked. There would be many guests at Crawford Manor as it
was the new year, so Luke would not send the kids there.
He had a hard time convincing those people not to visit his place, so he would not send the children back there to suffer.
"Don't worry, Aunt Neile will come over to work later," said Luke.
"Aunt Neile? Isn't she coming back to work next week?" Luca was surprised.
"Her son and daughter-in-law took their children on a trip but she didn't go as she was tired, so she said she can come work
anytime," said Luke. He had arranged for Aunt Neile to come back to work this morning.
Either way, he would still have to make a trip to Allison's place.
"In that case..." Luca knew that she had no more excuses to stay at home.
The children had someone to watch over them, and no one could change Luke's mind once he had made up his mind.
However, Luke was bringing her to face Allison.
Luca sighed internally.
Half an hour later, Aunt Neile showed up at the mansion on time.
The three children were taken by surprise, and they went up to her to wish her a happy new year while Aunt Neile smiled from
ear to ear.
Luca had put on her coat and was looking at Aunt Neile in the living room. She did not know how long it would take for Luke to
settle everything, so she informed her, "Aunt Neile, there are still some leftover groceries in the fridge, so you don't need to go to
the supermarket."
"Okay, Ms. Craw. Don't worry. You can go get your things done," Aunt Neile nodded and said cheerfully.
Luca nodded and left with Luke.
Gale sat in the driver's seat and was in charge of driving. She and Luke sat in the backseat.
"Let's go," said Luke. He still insisted on going to Allison's place even though he knew that both of them were unwilling to go.
"Okay, Boss." Gale nodded and drove off.
Luca looked at the scenery outside the car window and felt a little anxious.
In a way, him taking her to see Allison was the same as announcing their relationship...
If Abel knew about it, he might speed up his plan.
Abel had failed to take Luke down twice. What would he do next?
Luca could not help but worry.
“What are you thinking?" Luke noticed her silence and frown, which meant that something was off.
“Nothing. I'm just a little confused as to why Ms. Tanner would do that.." Luca gave an excuse.
Luke did not say anything as what Allison did was indeed outrageous, but she did it to help him.
Even so, he had no intention of letting her off the hook.
If he did not teach her a lesson right now, she would just be more brazen with her tactics in the future.
Adults were like children. They had to be educated and punished when they did something wrong.
It was just that the punishment for adults would be way crueler.
After a while, the car arrived at the gate of the mansion.
After Gale parked the car, he entered the password on the door, but it showed that it was the wrong password.
Gale walked to the car window and said to Luke, "Boss, I can't open the door. The password is wrong."
Luke pushed the door open and got out. He entered the password once more with a frown.
The password he entered was incorrect too.
"Boss, maybe they changed the password," said Gale. Perhaps Allison was afraid that Luke would come to look for her, so she
changed the password.
"Yeah," said Luke before he opened the fingerprint lock on the side.
Allison was guilty, which was why she was afraid that he would show up at the door and cause her trouble. However, what she
did not know was that after she went to jail, the mansion fell into his hands. At that time, he registered his fingerprint on the lock
for convenience's sake.
As long as Allison did not erase it, he would be able to enter.
Sure enough, as soon as it scanned his fingerprint, an unlocking sound was heard and the door opened.
Gale gasped, "Boss, I didn't know you still had something up your sleeve."
"This was originally a fingerprint lock," Luke said blandly. After Allison was sent to prison, he had someone change the lock to
prevent those messy friends of Allison's from living there.
When changing the locks, Jason had reminded him to register his fingerprint at the mansion.
He never thought that it would come in handy now.
Gale gave him a big thumbs up before pushing the door open. "Boss, this way."
Luke turned around to look at Luca.
When she saw the door open, she got out of the car.
"Come on." Luke walked over and held her hand before walking into the mansion together.
Gale locked the car and followed behind them. He looked at them and thought that if not for the fact that they were trying to get
back at Allison right now, it seemed like they were really in love.
He shook his head in disbelief as he had somehow become the third wheel once again.
In the living room.
Allison was drinking the beautifying tea that Sophian had made her.
The maid hurriedly came and reported, “Madam Allison, Master Luke is here."
“What?" Allison put down her teacup in panic and looked toward the door, but Luke was not there. “Where is he now?"
“The alarm just rang, so they should be in the garden right now," said the maid. She did not follow up on yesterday's events. All
she knew was that Allison hastily had her change the lock password.
“Didn't I change the password? How does he know the new password? Did you open the door for him or tell him the password?"
Allison questioned.
She changed the password to keep Luke from taking his revenge on her.
The maid shook her head repeatedly. “I didn't, Madam Allison. Young Master Luke didn't even ring the doorbell. If the alarm
hadn't shown that someone had come in, I wouldn't have known."
Allison grew suspicious. “If he doesn't know the password and you didn't open the door for him, how did he get in?"
“Madam Allison, I have no idea..." The maid grew panicky from her questions. She wanted to know how Luke got in too.
Allison would certainly not have told him the new password, and Sophian would not be that foolish.
If he came with a locksmith, then the alarm would not show that someone had come in. It would send a police report instead.
Sophian came downstairs with the mask she prepared and said in a hurry, “Ms. Allison, I've just mixed a hydrating mask. Do you
want to try it?"
Allison looked gloomy. She looked at Sophian who was still in high spirits and said, “Try what? Luke is here."
“Lu—Mr. Crawford is here?" The smile on Sophian's face faded as she took a step back.
According to their agreement yesterday, if Luke were to come and stir up trouble, she would take all the blame.
Sophian was panicking.
“Ms. Allison, you can't let him in." She immediately pleaded with Allison for help.
