"Don't blame Luke for getting scammed. Luke didn't make you invest your money with dubious people." Old Master Crawford felt repulsed by what she said.
Allison was startled. It felt like her throat was stuffed with a mouthful of phlegm that she could not cough out. It felt uncomfortable.
She did not expect Old Master Crawford to speak up for Luke like that.
"I—"
"Although Luke and you don’t have the best relationship, he has never skimmed on your daily expenses as well as your treatment in South Korea. You had so much money to invest because Luke gave you that money. Don’t blame others for your stupidity," Old Master Crawford lectured Allison with a stern expression.
"Dad, I know that it’s my fault..." Allison realized that blaming it on Luke would not work.
It would not work even if she wanted to shift some of the blame to Luke.
Old Master Crawford was too smart and partial to Luke for that.
"I won't help you." Old Master Crawford said. Luke did not short Allison on her food and clothing. He held no responsibility for Allison's being scammed.
Allison could not help but feel resentment in her heart. ‘If it were not for him behaving like this every time, I wouldn’t have gone to jail!’
She believed that she would not have ended up where she was if it were not for him.
"Dad, I know what you mean. I just want you to help me get in touch with Luke," Allison said.
Old Master Crawford suddenly thought of a very serious issue. "Did you borrow money from others to invest in this scam?"
"No, but I just received my living expenses two days before the New Year and now I have no money to get me through this month..." Allison shook her head quickly. Her living expenses for one month were enough for her to invest. There was no need for her to borrow money from others.
It was just that that month's living expenses were just paid out and there were more than 20 days until the next month. In these 20 days, she had to go back to South Korea for treatment, so a few hundred dollars was not enough to cover her airfare and living expenses.
"You know I won't give you any money," Old Master Crawford said indifferently. Although Allison was his daughter-in-law, what she had done was outrageous. He disliked her more and more each day
"Dad, I didn't even think of asking you for money. I just want you to contact Luke for me. Otherwise..." Allison hesitated, but her tone was a little threatening.
"Otherwise what?" Old Master Crawford knew that Luke had blocked Allison. He noticed her threat, and his cloudy eyes narrowed slightly. He had not looked at others like this in a long time.
In the past, when he looked at others like this, that person would see the end of their business within two months.
Allison was terrified by his stare. She had no other choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Otherwise, I can only live at home. I know you don't want to see me, and I also want to go back to Korea for treatment, but I have no money. If you can't help me contact Luke, I can only stay here until next month before I can go back to Korea.”
Although Old Master Crawford did not like her living here, she did not have to worry about food if she stayed in Crawford Manor. If she did not shop, she would not have to spend a penny.
Old Master Crawford's mood sank.
She sounded helpless, but it was clear that she had planned it out carefully. There would be no peace if Allison stayed here for another month.
"Go back first. I'll contact Luke for you later," Old Master Crawford said. Although he did not enjoy being threatened by Allison, he did not want there to be any drama at home.
She and Susan would not get tired even if they argued for a month.
"Dad, why don't you contact him now?" Allison would only feel relieved if Old Master Crawford called Luke in front of her.
"It's lunchtime. Can't you let Luke eat in peace?" Old Master Crawford asked. She, the mother, did not know how to take pity on her son, but he, the grandfather, would still make sure that his grandson was taken care of.
