Chapter 193 Finally, She Arrives At the Small Town

Old Master Crawford lay on the bed with his eyes closed, listening to the conversation between his daughter-in-law and his grandson.

In that half a minute, Allison had found an excuse to shift the blame to Susan.

"I've never known that you've suspected me so much... I would tell you if you asked, but you've never asked!"

Allison revealed a pained look, as though she struggled to recall her insufferable past. She started sobbing again, soaking the napkin with her tears. "I was forced out of A City when I had to leave your birth father.

What else could I do when you were so young? I could only hide in the remotest towns. Susan Armstrong was relentless. She and her minions could find me no matter where I went!

"Back then, Susan was childless. You should know how much importance a woman married into a wealthy family places on providing an heir, and you too, Old Master Crawford! And I had to give birth to a boy!

"I don't know if Susan knew that I had given birth to a boy, so I had to hand you to an orphanage to protect you. At least you'll receive good care over there. It's better than running and hiding in constant fear... I didn't know if I'd live or die!"

Old Master Crawford frowned when he listened to Allison's barbed words.

His biggest misfortunes were his two daughters-in-law, Susan Armstrong and Allison Tanner.

Susan was born and raised in a wealthy family whose status matched the Crawfords.

However, it was exactly because of Susan's noble and strict upbringing that caused her marriage to fail.

Of course, the main culprits were her husband, who did not know how to appreciate his wife, and the mistress, who seduced a woman's husband.

Compared to prim and well-mannered Susan, Allison was much more vivacious. Susan could have never learned how to flirt with a man like how Allison did.
