Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 999

Chapter 999 Thea Is Injured

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 sto earn more." Alright, I'll give you another five hundred thousand. You'd better not leave any traces. Also, if you fail, don't implicatein 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 sfresh 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 sgood 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.]

He changed into black clothes, wore a ski mask to prevent his face from being captured, and switched on the signal jammer.

In the mansion, Allison's phone lost its signal. She knew that Jon was about to break in.

She stood behind the door, held her breath, and listened to any sounds from the living room.

Twenty minutes later, she heard a slight noise, though it was not loud enough to wake anyone up.

Jon successfully broke into the mansion, evaded the security cameras, and went up the second floor.

He had studied the video that Allison sent to him, and he was familiar with the place like the back of his hand. He went to the second-floor hall, then quickly sneaked into Old Master Crawford's study. He turned on his flashlight and noticed the inkwell on the desk.

He carefully wrapped up the inkwell with newspaper and bubble wrap before stuffing it into his bag. If he accidentally damaged it, its value would drop by half.

After taking all the antiques from the desk and the bookshelves, Jon smiled smugly. It was a beneficial transaction for him.

He would receive five hundred thousand dollars plus ten percent of the sales from the antiques. His backpack was already quite heavy, but he still looked around greedily.

There was a safe in the room, but it seemed quite high-tech, and he did not want to take the risk. He opened the door and prepared to leave when he bumped into Thea, who had woken up to get a glass of water.

Thea was half asleep, but she was shocked by the sudden intruder.

"Ahh!" She screamed.

Jon suffered a fright. Reflexively, he grabbed an antique vase and struck her forehead. Thea fell on the floor with a bang, though her scream had already woken up the people on the second floor.

Jon quickly ran away without caring if Thea lived or died.

'Oh no,' Allison thought when she heard that scream.

Her heart skipped a beat when she heard the crash and subsequent fall. Jon did not keep his promise!

She could tell that the voice belonged to a little girl, but she could not tell if the girl was Rainie or Thea.

She wanted to rush out of her bedroom to confirm the casualty, but she stopped herself when her hand touched the doorknob. She could not go out before the others did. It would be very suspicious.

The person to cout to the corridor first was Louis. He was instantly seized by fear when he saw her daughter lying in a pool of blood. "Thea!"

He called out, but Thea did not respond.

Louis ran over, carried Thea in his arms, firmly pressed on her forehead to stop the blood from flowing, and turned around to speak to Yuri. "Call the ambulance!"

Yuri was at a loss when she saw that. Louis's words made her cto her senses. She quickly ran back to the bedroom, picked up the phone, and dialed for an ambulance with trembling fingers.

The other people on the second floor gradually cout of their bedrooms, including Allison, who was pretending to be clueless.

"Oh, what happened?"

Allison's eyes flashed with fear when she saw the pool of blood, though no one noticed that because they were all focused on Thea.

Susan was kneeling on the floor while holding Thea's hand. "Thea, my Thea! What happened to you? Please don't frighten your Grandma!”

Thea was not responsive at all.

Luke took a roll of bandages from the first aid kit and handed it to Yuri." Hold her forehead. We can't wait for the ambulance. I'll drive Thea to the hospital."

Louis's hand could not stop the bleeding. He listened to Luke and carried his daughter downstairs while Thea tried to stop the bleeding with the bandages.
