Luke frowned when his mother was mentioned. “Did the lawyer say anything?” He asked.

Ever since Allison was sent to prison for stealing the antiques, Luke had always wanted to visit her, but she had always refused to meet him.

He had never gotten to meet his mother for the past three years. He stopped trying and hired a lawyer to take care of her.

Old Master Crawford wanted to say something but stopped himself. Eventually, he said, “I’m not sure how to tell you. The lawyer has arranged everything. You should go there and see what’s going on.”

“Mm, I know,” Luke said. “I’ll go tomorrow.”

When Tommy heard that, he said, “Daddy, I want to visit Grandma too.”

Luke could tell from his grandfather’s expression that the meeting with Allison tomorrow was most likely not going to end well. He said, “No, you have to go to school tomorrow.”

“But I miss Grandma. Please let me go with you, Daddy,” Tommy said coyly. Even though Bianca was his favorite person, Allison had pampered him too.

That was why Tommy liked Allison.

“No, children shouldn’t go to those places.” Luke found an excuse to refuse.

“Alright then…” Tommy said disappointedly.

When Luke saw that, he said, “You’ll be able to meet Grandma again in a few months.”

Usually, a person convicted of theft would receive a prison sentence of fewer than three years. Allison’s case involved an extraordinarily large sum of money, so she received a sentence of more than three years with the possibility of parole.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and Allison was about to be released soon. If she only wanted to meet now, Luke could tell that she was up to no good.

The lawyer had told him before that Allison’s behavior in prison was poor. That was why she was not paroled.
