Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2477

“No,” replied Luke.

The kids were smart. The old master asked to head to the study once they arrived at Crawford Manor. Hence, it was no surprise to know that it had something to do with Allison.

“Daddy, what kind of trouble has Grandma gotten herself into?” Tommy tilted his head and asked.

Luke fell silent.

Tommy added, “Got it. Kids shouldn’t be meddling in the adult’s affairs.”

Luke’s phone rang. He put on the wireless earphones and answered the call, “Who is this?”

“Good evening, Mr. Crawford. We’re calling from the Federal Trade Commission. You filed a police report this afternoon claiming that a swindler has scammed your mother’s money by asking her to make some investments. Is it true?” A man’s voice came from the other end of the line.

“Yes.” Luke raised his brows. They were calling at this hour. Did they manage to arrest the swindler?

“According to the lead you’ve provided us, we’ve already arrested the person at the station. Can you please head to the police station to make a statement and claim your losses back now?” the police officer asked.

“I wasn’t the one who got cheated. I don’t know the details of the situation. You can call the one whose money got cheated.” Luke was not planning to go to the police station. He would not be able to tell them anything even if he went there.

After all, he had only briefly explained to them how she got cheated. The main point was that Allison provided some information about the swindler to the police officer on the other end of the line.

“Is your mother Ms. Allison Tanner?” The police officer confirmed with him.

“Yes.”

"There's one more thing we have to tell you. Although you want to claim back the money, we've looked into the suspect's bank account. There isn't much money in it, so we speculate that he has already transferred the money somewhere else. But it's hard to tell where he transferred the money to and how many people are involved in this. We need you to be prepared for this," added the police officer.

What the police said was what Luke had already expected, so he replied, “I got it. Please contact her. I’m not going to follow up on this case.”

“Okay, Mr. Crawford.” The police officer felt strange when Luke talked to him in such an indifferent voice. He thought that if it was some ordinary person whose money got scammed, he would have been anxious about it.

Luke took off the earphones after the call ended. Tommy sat in the backseat and sighed, “Grandma never fails to startle the police.”

“Have you ever seen it happen?” Lanie questioned.

Ever since Lanie could remember things, the troubles Allison got herself into would always startle the police officers. They had to come as it was within their scope of work.

However, the Crawford family held on to their principle that they should not wash their dirty linens in public. They solved the problems themselves…

Luke did not say anything. The kids had good memories, and they could remember everything they experienced when they were young back then.

There was nothing he could do even if he spoke up for Allison.

Besides, Luke was not planning to speak for her either.

They arrived at the villa and noticed that there was no one in the living room.

Tommy turned to look at Luke and asked, “Daddy, where’s Ms. Luca?”

"She's probably in bed now." Luke glanced at the time. It was late. Luca should be on the second floor. He carried the toolbox, headed to the stairs, and reminded the kids, "It's getting late. Get yourselves washed up and get ready to go to bed."

“Daddy, can I sleep after I finish my calligraphy homework?” Tommy asked,

“It’s up to you.” Luke and the three kids made their way up the stairs.
