“Good evening, Madam Allison.” Jason quickly answered the phone.
Allison wasted no time and demanded, “Why did you only send me such a small amount of money?”
“It’s Mr. Crawford’s decision,” replied Jason, “If you suspect I’m withholding anything, you may ask him directly…”
He reckoned that Allison might not be able to get in touch with Luke, so he added, “Or I could show you the chat records.”
By now, Allison could not really doubt him anymore.
However, with frustration in her voice, Allison asked, “Why is it so little? How am I supposed to live in A City on this?”
“Mr. Crawford said that you have no extra expenses. You’re not shopping, so a hundred thousand dollars should be enough,” Jason relayed Luke’s words.
A hundred thousand dollars was an amount that the average working family could not even earn in a month.
Allison could not go out shopping right now, and she was not making any other extra purchases while staying at home every day. Why would it not be enough?
Sophian, who overheard the conversation, could not help but shake her head.
A hundred thousand dollars?
Before hearing the actual amount, she thought it was only five thousand dollars based on Allison’s reaction!
Even though A City was an international metropolis, the cost of living was not as high as people might imagine. Aside from being a little picky about food, Allison did not really have any other expenses. It should be enough.
“It’s not enough. Send me another hundred thousand dollars. My skin is in bad shape, and I need a lot of skincare products. That’s a big expense. Tell him I need 200 thousand dollars for pocket money.” Allison actually thought even 200 thousand dollars would not be enough.
Since Luke only gave her a hundred thousand, she calculated that she could reasonably ask for another hundred thousand dollars.
If it was more than that, he might refuse.
Allison expected Jason to contact Luke on her behalf, but to her surprise, he insisted, “Madam Allison, Mr. Crawford said a hundred thousand dollars is the maximum. He also asked that you try to make it last. He might have to stay abroad for months handling work matters. While he’s not in A City, you’ll have to figure it out yourself if you run out of money. Also, he asked me to pass on a message.”
Jason relayed Luke’s message, “If you keep calling him, he’ll block your number and ask you not to disturb his work.”
Allison was so enraged by Jason’s words that her blood nearly boiled over!
Yet this was exactly what Luke had asked him to say.
“Fine, then you can tell him that if something happens on my end and he doesn’t care about me, don’t blame me for not holding back and exposing him to others!” Fuming with anger, Allison felt a twisted urge to drag Luke down with her in destruction.
Sophian’s heart skipped a beat in fear.
Allison had long struggled with skin issues, so her mental state was likely worse than most people’s.
She was afraid that Allison might do something to damage Luke’s reputation.
Jason’s tone immediately turned dark when he heard this. “Madam Allison, if you insist on doing this, the consequences might not be something you can handle.”
“Is this a threat?” Allison narrowed her eyes, her face full of displeasure. “The one thing I hate most in life is being threatened. If you’re really trying to threaten me, then think carefully about how this will end.”
