Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3430 Both Lanie And I Will Protect You

"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."

Jason was not intimidated by her words. Instead, he calmly replied, "You can try, but just think about the consequences of trying to shake up the interests of so many people, including the Crawford family's interests. You can figure it out for yourself."

Then, Jason hung up the phone.

Allison was on the brink of losing her mind. Luke had hung up on her, and now, Jason had hung up on her as well. "How dare he hang up on me?! Who gave him the courage? He's just some damn employee!" Allison did not care whether she was still in Crawford Manor. She started throwing a tantrum right then and there.

Sophian stepped back in fear, then tried to comfort her in a gentle voice, "Madam Allison, please don't be angry. You can tell him to punish that person when Mr. Crawford comes back."

Allison took off her sunglasses. Her wrinkled eyes, under the dim light of the garden, looked particularly eerie and frightening.

Sophian almost thought she saw a ghost!

Her heart was pounding wildly in her chest.

"Punish him? Those were Luke's words. How should I punish him?" Allison's voice became sharp. Just as she finished speaking, her phone buzzed with a message notification.

Jason had sent a screenshot of his chat with Luke. She held the phone screen up to Sophian's face. "See this? This is what he allowed! Who am I supposed to turn to for help? Why am I so miserable? It's like having a useless son. I'm being bullied by everyone!"

As Allison spoke, her eyes grew red.

Sophian's heart raced even faster.

The dim garden lights, combined with the stark white glow of the phone screen, cast eerie shadows across Allison's face, making her look like a vengeful ghost.

Sophian steeled herself to keep from screaming or running away. She comforted Allison, saying, "Madam Allison, please don't think too much. When Mr. Crawford comes back, you can talk to him. And you shouldn't cry. Tears are salty, and that's bad for your skin."

At the mention of her skin, Allison tilted her head back to force the tears back. Her skin could not handle even the slightest irritation right now.

Sophian watched her and glanced briefly at her chest. If Allison had not been disfigured, this movement would have seemed like pure melancholy. However, given that she was disfigured, it only intensified the horror.

Allison forced herself not to cry. It took her a long moment to suppress the urge to cry before she reluctantly left with Sophian. She was unwilling and resentful.

Inside Crawford Manor, Rainie heard the scream from the garden. Remembering Allison's face, she could not help but shudder.

"Don't be scared." Lanie, who had been watching the situation in the garden, turned to his younger sister after he saw Allison leave in her car. "Grandma's gone. Don't be afraid."

"Lanie, am I too cowardly?" Rainie's eyes glistened with unshed tears, looking pitiful.noveldrama

If Luca had seen her like this, she would have been heartbroken.

"No, you're not. Grandma is just too terrifying, and that's why you're scared. But she's gone now, and she won't be back for a long time. Don't worry. We won't see her again." Lanie's cool demeanor softened as he comforted Rainie. He turned into a warm and caring older brother.

Tommy walked in and added, "Lanie's right. Don't worry, Rainie. Both Lanie and I will protect you! And Grandma's gone. She didn't get the upper hand this time, and she won't be coming back for a while. Even if she does, she won't gain anything from coming here anyway."

Lanie listened to Tommy. Smiling, he reached up to lightly flick his forehead. "That's not how you say it. And where did you learn that from?"

"Great-Grandpa has been really into martial arts novels lately, so I read a few too." Tommy rubbed his head and asked, "Lanie, then when should I use that phrase?"

"That phrase isn't something kids should say!" Lanie, acting like a little adult, lectured his younger brother." From now on, don't say things like that. If Daddy or Great-Grandpa hears it, they'll definitely scold you!"
