Chapter 799 They Will Teach Him A Lesson!

While Allison fretted over what excuse she should give to ask for money from her son, she received an invitation to a video call on her phone.

She picked up her phone and saw that it was Maxine calling her. She instantly accepted the invitation and said exaggeratedly, "Are you already back home, Maxine? You're only gone for a few days, but I've already missed you!"

Maxine did not stay for too long in Crawford Manor, but she knew how to butter up to Allison. Somehow, she knew Allison's preferences, and Allison was perfectly satisfied by every lavish gift Maxine bought her.

Moreover, Maxine's father was a much more influential figure than Bianca's father. That was the main reason why Allison liked Maxine. Of course, Maxine was a sensible and obedient girl, unlike that ingrate Bianca, who would always go against her wishes.

Maxine's delicate and petite face appeared on Allison's phone screen.

She smiled sweetly as she greeted Allison, "I miss you too, Aunt Allison. I thought I could stay over for longer if I had been successfully accepted to Luke's company, but unfortunately... sigh. Never mind, I'll go and visit you whenever I'm free. How have you been?"

Allison wiped away an imaginary tear on her face and said with fake sorrow, "Sigh, things have been horrible here. You should have seen the news about T Corporation's accident, right? I've been physically and mentally exhausted because of that. Your cousin Luke is in the hospital because of the violent mob. Things are chaotic in the Crawford household. Sigh, we're so unlucky!" "What?" Maxine's voice became shrill all of a sudden. "Is Luke in the hospital? Is he injured badly?"

Allison tried to look sadder than before. "His injuries are serious. He broke several ribs, and there was a blood clot in his skull when he was struck by a thick steel pipe. He almost couldn't survive the operation... My son is truly blessed to be saved from the reaper, but he's still in pretty bad shape..."
