Allison caught the disapproval in Old Master Crawford's gaze and could not help but snap at Sophian, “What are you talking about? What does this have to do with you?”
Sophian met her gaze and suddenly realized that the best thing to do now was to stay quiet and lower her presence.
In an instant, she regretted her impulsive words.
She was so eager to leave a good impression on Old Master Crawford, but instead, she had made things worse.
Now, all she could do was apologize. She pressed her lips together and bowed sincerely to Old Master Crawford, saying, “Sorry, Old Master Crawford, I couldn't hold back.”
Old Master Crawford, with his strong mental fortitude, did not get angry at the gesture.
“You really…” Allison was speechless. What was she even doing? Why was everything Sophian did so laughable?!
She turned to Old Master Crawford and said, “Father, this woman hasn't seen much of the world. Please don't blame her.”
Old Master Crawford ignored Allison’s comment and stared at Sophian before asking, “What were you going to say?”
Sophian, initially surprised, then felt a surge of joy. “Old Master Crawford, you want me to speak?”
Just as Allison was about to scold her, Old Master Crawford replied, “Yes. What’s on your mind?”
Sophian cleared her throat. Her voice trembled with excitement as she said, “I believe the role of a mother is crucial to a child's growth. The three kids may seem fine at the moment, but as time passes, they'll surely long for a mother's love. I think the kids still need a complete family.
"Besides, it's not good to keep bothering you with the kids. You've worked hard all your life, and you should enjoy your retirement. You shouldn't have to worry about the kids all the time. Don't you think I'm right?”
Allison placed her hand over her forehead.
What nonsense was Sophian even saying?
The old master told her to speak, and she actually did!
She had no sense of timing at all!
Old Master Crawford’s smile faded as he nodded. “Yes, what you said makes sense.”
Sophian was even more thrilled, taking a small step forward, eager to recommend herself for the role of the kids' guardian. Just then, Old Master Crawford murmured, “It’s about time Bianca’s study abroad is over. After all this time, it’s time for her to come back and take on the responsibility of raising the kids.”
Allison was stunned.
Have Bianca come back.
Remembering all her past conflicts with Bianca, Allison would definitely oppose it!!
Bianca was a real pain.
She had taken her son and her place in the Crawford family. If she returned now, who knew what trouble she would cause?
Allison heard that Bianca was previously sold to someplace, and her mental state deteriorated after being kidnapped.
Having her live with a mentally unstable daughter-in-law? It would be better if they just killed her!
“Father, I don’t think that’s a good idea,” Allison said to Old Master Crawford, glaring at Sophian at the same time.
Even though Sophian could not feel her piercing glare behind the sunglasses, she shivered.
She had no idea that her words would make Old Master Crawford seriously consider bringing Bianca, the original wife, back into the family!
Had she known this would happen, Sophian would not have said a word.
She hated the Rayne family, and even more so, she hated Jack and Queenie. Bianca was not just a Rayne. She was their daughter!
Every time Allison saw Bianca, it reminded her of her painful past.
She had barely escaped that past, so how could she let it come up now?
Old Master Crawford slammed the lid of the cup down with force when he heard that. The sharp sound echoed in the room, causing both Allison and Sophian to flinch.
Sophian took a small step back, afraid that Old Master Crawford’s actions would accidentally hit her.
She thought the small movement would go unnoticed, but both Old Master Crawford and Mr. Griffin saw it clearly.
Old Master Crawford’s eyes turned sharp. The patience he had shown while dealing with Allison seemed to have reached its limit.
“Do you really not know why the kids are at Crawford Manor?” asked Old Master Crawford.
Allison froze for a moment before answering, “Isn’t it because that woman, Luca, doesn’t like the three children? She’s been whispering things to Luke, and that’s why he sent them back to Crawford Manor.”
As she spoke, Allison felt like she needed to say more, so she took a shot at Luca again.
"You gotta get Luke to kick her to the curb and bring in a woman who actually cares about the kids.”
Old Master Crawford was so amused by Allison’s words that he slammed the cup down on the table.
Fortunately, he had seen many storms in his time, especially with the constant power struggles between women after Zachary and Allison got together.
After more than 30 years, he had become numb to it. Otherwise, he would have been so enraged by Allison's words that he might have had a stroke.
