Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 999

"That's not what you originally told me, Madam." Jon thought that it was very troublesome. Allison had told him that he could dispatch anyone that tried to stop him, and that would have been a much easier job.

"What do you want then?" Allison was getting annoyed. If things went her way, she would not have wanted Luke to stay in the mansion for the night.

Other than Luke and her three grandchildren, she did not care if anyone else in Crawford Manow lived or died.

Jon saw the antiques in the study and thought that Allison had paid him too little. It was the right opportunity to ask for more. "It'll be easier if you pay up," he said.

"How much?" Allison had expected him to say that. However, she had no other choice.

"Five hundred thousand," Jon said.

"That's daylight robbery!" Allison was reluctant to part with that much money. After all, that was ten days' worth of living expenses.

"Those antiques are worth a lot of money, even in the black market. The more I take, the more you'll earn, isn't it?" Jon tried to persuade her.

Allison thought that it made sense. She had to give some to earn more. "Alright, I'll give you another five hundred thousand. You'd better not leave any traces. Also, if you fail, don't implicate me in this."

"I won't fail, don't worry," Jon promised.

Allison could not sleep because of the anger and anxiety. Thinking that Louis and his family had not returned yet, she kept the pair of glasses in her handbag, then took the glass of water and sat down at the second-floor hall.

She would definitely see them return.

Louis, his wife, and his daughter only returned at midnight. He noticed Allison sitting on the second-floor hall and asked her, "It's already so late, Aunt Allison. Why aren't you in bed yet?"

Allison was ready to fall asleep. She did not want to go back to her room before she saw them return.

She flashed a rare smile at Louis and said, "I haven't been sleeping in this bed for a long while, so I'm not used to it. I'm out here to get some fresh air."

Louis did not suspect anything, though he found it curious that Allison was in a good mood even though she could not sleep.

"Oh, so that's the case. Sleeping late isn't good for your health, and you should lie on your bed even if you can't sleep. We'll be heading to our bedroom," he said.

"Go then. I'm falling asleep already. I'll be sleeping soon." Allison stood up and headed back to her room before they did.

Yuri thought that something was amiss when she saw that. "Don't you think that she's acting weirdly?" She said to Louis.

Even though Louis declared that he had no intention of taking over T Corporation, Allison remained hostile toward him and his family.

Yuri thought that it was strange that Allison was smiling at Louis as though smiling at her son.

Louis thought it was strange too, but he did not think too much about it. He looked at Thea sleeping in his arms and said, "It's weird indeed. Maybe she heard some good news."

Yuri was puzzled. Allison would not smile at them even if they gave her ten million dollars.

She seemed to be hiding something behind that kind smile.

"Let's go to bed." Louis was getting worn out after carrying Thea for so long. They went back to their bedroom.

Three o'clock in the morning.

Allison woke up, took out her phone, and sent a message to Jon. [You may begin.]

Jon replied, [Roger that.]
