Allison became nervous, seeing that Luke did not say anything. She had already maxed out her credit card, and she would be blacklisted if she did not repay the debt.
One of her friends was the wife of a banker. Everyone would know if she got blacklisted.
"Can you bear to see your mother starve?" Allison began to cry again. Her red and puffy eyes looked more realistic than ever. Rather than trying to evoke pity from her son, those were tears of desperation.
Luke stood there with his hands in his pockets and looked at his mother coldly.
Allison was used to Luke's cold treatment, but she was losing her temper.
No matter how useless she might be, she was nonetheless his mother!
Allison did not want to throw tantrums because she wanted money. All she could do was cry and evoke pity.
Luke was getting impatient with his mother's waterworks. Through the entirety of Riley's incident, his mother had never even given him a phone call.
Now that the matter was settled, he saw her in Crawford Manor. She said that she missed him, but she actually missed his money.
"How much do you want?" Luke said coldly.
Allison instantly stopped crying. She wanted to ask for a big figure, but she remembered that Luke had only given her three million dollars when she asked for thirty million.
At that time, T Corporation was facing a financial crisis, and he did not have much cash. Now that the situation was different, she expected that she could ask for more. "Mm, how about five million?" She said as she splayed a hand.
Luke frowned even harder.
Allison explained sheepishly when she saw that, "I have some credit card debt to pay. Also, I'll have to pay maintenance fees for the mansion and the caretakers' salary…"
"Mother, do you think that the Crawford family prints money?" Luke thought that his mother was getting greedier than ever. She had easily squandered three million. Even if he gave her the full five million, it would not take long for her to spend it all.
For an ordinary A City citizen, five million dollars was enough to last a lifetime.
Allison's eyes were bloodshot, and she pretended that she was losing her temper. "I've suffered so much when giving birth to you, and I've waited for you to become a successful man. I'm not asking too much for you other than money. Now that T Corporation has solved its financial crisis, you should have a lot of cash on hand…"
Luke's expression was as dark as ink. He took out his phone and transferred one million dollars to Allison's account.
Allison was delighted when she received the transfer notification. When she looked at the amount on her phone, she exclaimed in surprise, "What? Only one million?"
Luke was already walking out of the study.
Allison quickly followed behind him. "You can't treat me like this, my son. That won't last two weeks."
The three million dollars that he gave her vanished in the blink of an eye. What was she going to do with only one million dollars?
Her exquisite meals, her beauty essence, and the maintenance of all the beauty treatment machines needed money!
"One million dollars is more than enough. You'll also be receiving dividends from your T Corporation shares next month. That'll be enough for a few months," Luke said as he opened the door.
He did not mind supporting his mother in her old age, but that did not mean that she could be wasteful.
"We're not even halfway through the month yet, and the dividends will only be paid at the end of next month. One million isn't going to be enough. How about two million? Can you give me two million?" She followed closely behind him, hoping that he would give her more money.
Luke ignored her and left the room.
Allison stood at the door. She did not chase after him. It would be embarrassing for her to do so.
Susan was downstairs waiting to watch the drama.
