Ch. 301..310
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 301-Luke Could Instantly Guess the Reason
CEO's office, T Corporation.
"Mr. Crawford, I cannot be Ms. Rayne's defense lawyer in her divorce case.
I'm sorry." Walter stood in front of Luke’s desk. His face was scrunched up.
He was wracked with guilt for having declined Luke's request. After all, he enjoyed his current fame because of Luke.
Walter carefully glanced at Luke.
Luke was sitting casually on his chair. The sunlight that shone into the office from the floor-to-ceiling window highlighted his sculpted features.
He took a puff from a cigarette. Amid the swirling clouds of smoke, his slightly furrowed brows indicated his displeasure.
"Reason?" Luke flicked his cigarette. His harsh face showed no emotion.
"Shandra is back." Walter's expression was unreadable. "I've owed her too much. She even… removed her womb because of me. I didn't know that I'd caused her so much damage. I've always wanted to repay the debt, but she never lets me. She's too prideful to ask for anything from me, except this time…" "Shandra Cullen is Xavier's defense lawyer?" Luke instantly got to the point.
"Yes." Walter clenched his right fist tightly.
Luke knew about what happened between Walter and Shandra.
Shandra was a prideful individual. She was an outstanding layer, and she had made a name for herself for her penchant for engaging in quibble. novelbin
However, Shandra was never particular about her cases. She accepted any case for the right price, even if her client was a notorious criminal. That was why she had a mixed reputation among lawyers.
Walter continued, "Mr. Crawford, I have already contacted Mr. Irving Scott of Viva Law Firm. He usually handled international cases and is renowned inside and outside of the country. I know him quite well, and he has agreed to take over Ms. Rayne's divorce case. This is his information."
Walter handed a folder containing information about Irving Scott to Luke.
Luke did not read it immediately. He furrowed his brows, seeming to ponder about something.
"Alright then. Mr. Scott shall handle the divorce case," he said.
Walter breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Luke's next words made Walter nervous again. "You should find some closure between you and Shandra. You might accept her demands this time, but what about next time, or after that? The rules of this world are harsh. No one would unconditionally comply with her, unlike you."
Walter was on his way out of the office. He paused in his footsteps for a brief moment, let out a sigh, and went out through the door.
Leia was having dinner with her parents when she received the call from the detective agency.
She glanced nervously at her parents, saw that they were having small talk with each other, and went to the balcony before she answered the call.
Queenie handed a chicken wing to Jack while she noticed her daughter was acting secretively. "I say, Jack, do you see that? Our daughter has her little secrets now. She must be answering a call from her crush." "Leia isn't young anymore," Jack replied, "She should be already finding a partner in marriage and leave the entertainment industry as soon as possible. A woman should stay at home and take care of the children.
Jack was a chauvinist. He could not understand the mind of a woman. To him, he pursued whatever he liked without beating around the bush.
That was how he had courted Queenie.
Their relationship bloomed without any incident. In fact, their courtship did not last for long before they married.
Queenie was intelligent, considerate, and gentle. It was Jack's ideal personality, and he had devoted everything to her.
He might be an important politician, but he was also loving toward his wife.
Queenie did not fully agree with what Jack said. If not for him, she would have fulfilled her dreams by venturing into the entertainment industry.
However, she did not offer a retort. Instead, she said, "You've seen our daughter's crush before, and I've also seen his photo on the magazines she bought. He looks handsome in the photos. How does he look like in real life? He should be an outstanding individual for being able to manage a multinational corporation."
Queenie was worried that Luke in the magazine might look different in real life.
After all, it was not surprising if the photos were edited.
Jack seemed visibly excited when Luke was mentioned. "Doni worry about that. Luke is indeed as handsome as our Leia is pretty. The only thing is that he has two five-year-old children…" "The children won't be an obstacle if he has an eye for our Leia. In fact, the children might become a catalyst to deepen their affection toward each other. Leia is a gentle girl, and I believe she should adore children. If she can't take care of them, she can send the children here. I'm very willing to take care of them for her."
Queenie suffered heavy bleeding when she was in labor. Not only had she lost her child in her womb, but it had also caused her to be infertile. That had always been a psychological burden to her.
No one knew how eager she was to bear a child. Every time she walked on the street, she would have the urge to hug every cute child she saw.
While they chatted, Leia ended the call and returned from the balcony.
After greeting her parents, she was in a rush to head out. “I have some business outside. Enjoy your dinner. You don't have to wait for me."
She put on her coat and was about to open the door.
Jack was unhappy. "It's already so late. Who are you meeting?"
He was a strict father. He would not interfere in his daughter's personal life if she stayed out late at work. However, she was at home, he did not like her going out at night. That was improper!
Leia was anxious, but she patiently explained to her father. "My agent called me earlier, saying that there's a problem with the . I'll be back in an hour."
Jack did not say anything, but he frowned harder.
He looked down on people in the entertainment industry, thinking that it was beneath his status. For a conservative family like the Normans, he did not wish for his daughter to show her face in public. He thought it would be better if his daughter got a job as an office worker instead of an actress. However, his wife had supported his daughter's career choice, and he had no say in it.
Queenie stopped Leia, carefully wrapped a scarf around her neck, and gently told her to come back soon…
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 302- Queenie's Birth Daughter Is Still Alive!
Leia was disguised in a thick woolen cap, a wide scarf, a mask, and a pair of sunglasses. No one could tell that the woman dressed up in bulky clothes was the slender and beautiful female celebrity on television.
She went into a private room. A man in his thirties with high cheekbones was already waiting for her inside.
He had a full beard on his face, and though he might seem hostile, one could tell that he was not a bad guy from the sparkle in his eyes.
Leia sat down on a chair and asked, "Did you find anything? Are there any updates?"
She had been extremely worried over the past few days. What if her adopted mother's birth daughter appeared out of nowhere and took over her position in the Norman family?
The bearded man pushed a stack of documents in front of her. "We've found something. There are records from the hospital when your mother was giving birth, as well as the name lists and current statuses of the doctors and nurses that were working during the delivery. Your mother's birth daughter… is still alive." i
That final sentence was like a thunderbolt out of the blue that split Leia into two!
Her hands that were holding the document started trembling. ’What… what did you say? My mother's birth daughter is still alive? Where is she?’
Leia's bloodshot eyes were filled with viciousness, which shocked the bearded man.
Leia was startled when she saw how shocked the bearded man was. She calmed down and said, "My adopted parents have missed their daughter for very long. They'll be very happy if they find out that their birth daughter is still alive. Please find my sister for me, and let me know as soon as you find her. I wonder how much she has suffered over these years. If we can find her, we can make it up to her…"
The bearded man seemed to be moved by her speech, but he did not say anything.
His earnest flashed eyes flashed with cunning, and he said, "Do you know how hard it is to investigate something from more than twenty years ago, Ms. Norman? My agency has expended a lot of time, money, and energy to find the information that you're reading now. We don't have any news about your sister yet, but we should be able to find her whereabouts if you could…"
The bearded man rubbed the thumb and index finger of his right hand back and forth.
Leia knew what the man was trying to imply. "Don't worry. If you can find my adopted parents' birth daughter, you will be very handsomely rewarded."
Everyone knew that celebrities in the entertainment industry made a lot of money. Even an endorsement deal could earn them far more money than a normal person would make in their entire life. novelbin
Leia was not the most famous celebrity, but she had an influential father, and she had made a lot of money from various film shoots and endorsement deals.
Leia took out her phone and transferred a sum of money to the bearded man.
The bearded man smiled. "You're very generous, Ms. Norman. Your sister would be very happy if she knew that she has a sister as kind as you."
Leia smiled but did not say anything.
Her parents' birth daughter had disappeared for so many years. Why would she suddenly appear? She could not let that woman appear in front of her parents' eyes, much less snatch her position in the family away!
Bianca, Lanie, and Rainie nestled on the couch, looking through the photo prints from the theme park excursion.
The two children were more excited than Bianca. As they looked through the album, they picked out each other's funny faces captured on film.
Rainie pointed at one of the photos featuring Lanie and said to Bianca,"
Look at Big Bro's ugly face here, Mommy. He's surrounded by so many little girls, but he's not smiling at all! See, isn't he ugly?"
Bianca glanced at the photo and chuckled.
Her son was surrounded by a crowd of cute little girls. They were tugging his shirt, and some were even reaching out for his hands. Lanie seemed to be disgusted by their presence and wanted to push them away. That was when the photo was taken.
The camera had perfectly captured the sneer on his face.
Bianca was slightly worried. If her son was already so attractive when he was so young, would he be constantly swamped by women when he was older?
She was worried that her son might be too handsome!
Lanie was not happy when his mother and sister were laughing at him. He skimmed through the album and found several photos of Rainie. One was of her sobbing because she was afraid of heights,
another was when she was pulling a funny face, and another was when she pouted…
"Look, Mommy! Rainie is so ugly in these photos!" He started to make fun of his sister with his childish voice. "She's already five years old, but she's still afraid of heights! Looks, she's pulling an ugly face here…" "Hmph! I might be ugly, but you're my brother, and so you're ugly too!" Rainie pulled her cheeks and stuck out her tongue.
Bianca felt a different sort of bliss when she observed her children's interactions.
She thought that Luke, Lanie, and Rainie were extremely good-looking in those photos, no matter from which angle they were taken.
Luke was reading a financial magazine at the side. When he saw that Bianca was thinking about something, he put away the magazine and asked her gently, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
Bianca brought the photo album to him. "These are the photos that we took at the theme park."
Luke took the album and browsed through a few pages. In those photos, he saw Bianca and the two children smiling like blooming flowers, and his gaze turned gentle. "Mm, very beautiful."
Her presence completed the family. The children were happy and lively because of her.
"Luke, I'd like to… ask you something." Bianca's expression suddenly turned serious.
"Say it." Luke put away the financial magazine in his hand when he saw that Bianca was in a rare serious mood.
"I want to ask you, can you explain the lace panties in your car? And… when I called you while you were away, a woman answered the call." Bianca finally asked the questions that she had kept for so long.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 303-Daddy, Why Are You Eating Mommy's Mouth?
Luke did not know how to answer those questions.
Since when was there a pair of lace panties in his car? novelbin
Luke wracked his mind, but he could not think of anything.
Had was a clean freak, so no stray article of clothing should have appeared in his car. Moreover, not many women traveled in his car. He could only think of his mother, Bianca, and Rainie.
Rainie was still a child, and she would not be wearing lace panties.
Bianca could see that he was confused. "I found it under a car seat in the black Bentley when I was looking for Rainie's English textbook… it was a pair of black lace panties."
Bianca stood up, went to the room, and retrieved the evidence.
The existence of the black lace panties had always been a thorn on Bianca's side.
If she did not ask him, she would always be suspicious of him.
Luke remained confused. "Aren't those panties yours? Did you buy them and leave them in the car?" "Would I have asked you the question if the panties are mine?" Bianca asked.
Luke sank deep in thought.
Bianca continued, ’Also, when you were in Western Europe dealing with the Regal PR crisis, I called you that night, but a woman answered the call. She said that you were taking a shower and asked me who I was…"
Luke furrowed his brows slightly.
Suddenly, he remembered that Mavis had asked him to stop at a convenience store on the way back from the dinner. She rushed inside and bought some toiletries. Did she stuff the lace panties under the seat after that?
When he thought of that possibility, his dark irises flashed with a shocking coldness.
If that were the case, then Ms. Laviere would have disappointed him.
Not only that, no one should have touched his phone or answered calls on his behalf without his permission.
While he was in Western Europe, only Ms. Laviere had entered his room. However, the position of his phone and the call records did not indicate that anyone had picked up his phone.
Luke could tell from Bianca's eyes that she was not lying. He also believed that Bianca would not joke about such a serious matter. If either one of the two incidents happened, it might only be an accident. However, if both incidents happened not too far apart from each other, there was reasonable ground for suspicion. Someone must be behind them.
To Luke, Ms. Laviere was a workaholic. She was focused on her work, and even though many outstanding men tried to court her, she had rejected all their advances.
Luke did not think that Mavis would be interested in a man that did not show any interest in her.
After all, he did not show any interest in anything other than work or Bianca.
If Mavis was indeed the person behind both incidents, what was her motivation for doing so?
Of course, if that were part of Mavis's schemes, Luke would be sending her overseas for a long time.
Luke hugged Bianca's waist while she was not paying attention and pulled her into his arms.
Bianca felt uneasy when she did not know the truth yet. She was just about to protest, but her eyes met with Luke's profound gaze…
"What… are you doing? The children are here."
Luke's lips were pressed on Bianca's sensitive earlobes, which made her tremble uncontrollably.
She stole a glance at Lanie and Rainie. The children were focused on building a castle with building blocks and did not pay attention to what was happening between their parents. However, she remained embarrassed.
"Don’t be like that, Luke…" Bianca spoke, but her voice was low and hoarse.
Luke pinched her chin harder and looked at her as though he was going to draw her into his eyes. "Do you trust me, Bianca? I really have no idea that those things happened, but I'll investigate it thoroughly and give you a satisfactory answer. You should know that I don't need much from you other than your truth. Do you understand?"
Bianca stared at Luke's earnest, sparkling eyes.
The tenderness in his eyes was like a pool of water. She could not help but soften her attitude.
Was that love?
She loved Luke. When she was with him, she hoped that she could be a sloth, so that she could cling onto Luke at all times. However, if she lost her identity in the pursuit of love, she would only become a burden.
She tried to change herself so that she did not have to cling to Luke too much.
She took a deep breath and looked into Luke's eyes. "I trust you. I don't regret the things I've done with you, including what we're doing now. However, I only hope that we can support each other. I won't hurt you, and I expect that you don't hurt me as well. It'll be hard for us to forgive each other."
Luke pressed his lips tightly together when he heard those words.
Those words shocked him. He finally understood that a woman's heart was frail and delicate, no matter how strong a front she might put up.
Bianca would not forgive him if he betrayed her.
Luke gently grasped Bianca's fair wrist and squeezed it. He caressed her soft hair and said only one word, ’ Alright."
That was a promise to Bianca and himself.
Bianca might not know that Luke had considered herself to be the only woman in her life since he was a younger and more cynical person.
His fingers gently lifted her petite chin, and he lowered her head to kiss her cherry lips. He nibbled her neck, which caused her to shudder.
Luke wanted to kiss her even harder.
Bianca was almost lost in the intimacy. Inadvertently, she noticed two pairs of curious eyes staring at them. She was shocked and hastily shoved Luke away!
'Oh my god… we forgot that the children are here…'
Bianca's fair face blushed red instantly.
"Daddy, why are you eating Mommy's lips? Does she have candy in her mouth? Can we taste it too?" Lanie ran up next to his mother and looked at her lips, wondering what the candy in her mouth would taste like. i 'Why was Daddy licking and sucking Mommy's lips?
'Is Mommy hiding delicious candy in her mouth, and Daddy is sneakily eating it without letting me and Rainie know?
'Doesn't Daddy hate sweets? That candy must be delicious!'
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 304-Who Knows What Luke Is Thinking?
Lanie got excited when he thought about that possibility.
He might be a boy, but like Rainie, he loved sweet stuff. Mommy's lips looked really sweet, and Daddy seemed to be enjoying them. He wanted to taste if the candy in Mommy's mouth was delicious.
Lanie was a smart boy, but he was too young to know what kissing was. The only explanation he could come up with was that Daddy was eating candy from Mommy’s mouth.
"I want to eat the candy in your mouth too, Mommy. What flavor is it?" Rainie also skipped next to Bianca and stared at her lips.
"N… No, we're not eating candy." Bianca was embarrassed. She did not know how to explain it to her children.
She glared at Luke, who responded with a helpless expression.
When they were in the mood, they would not notice that their children were there!
It was not the first time that the children had interrupted their intimate moments. It was a drag having to make sure that the children were not looking before they made out.
That made Luke decide that two children were enough.
Any more of those precocious brats would be a hassle.
Lanie and Rainie stared curiously at their parents, wondering if their words were to be believed.
Bianca crouched on the floor, brought her eyes to the children's level, and tried to explain to them. "Just now, Daddy was kissing Mommy, just like how I always kiss your cheeks. It's an expression of love, and
it shows that Daddy loves Mommy very much. Do you understand?"
Lanie and Rainie were precocious. Lanie's big eyes rolled around, and he soon understood what Mommy was saying.
The way Daddy kissed Mommy was different from how Mommy kissed them. However, he was nonetheless happy that Daddy loved Mommy in a different way.
"So that's how you show your love, Mommy? When we grow older, can Big Bro and I kiss like that?" Rainie asked innocently.
"Only Daddies and Mommies can…’ Bianca replied.
Luke's expression sank. He picked up Rainie like picking up a kitten and brought her to the bedroom. "You haven't finished your homework today, right? Be a good girl and stay in your room to finish your homework. Otherwise, there'll be no dinner for you tonight."
Rainie wriggled in Luke's hand. "Hmph! You only know how to threaten me like that!"
She nonetheless relented and obediently did her homework.
After all, she loved eating, and nothing could come in between her and food.
Lanie pulled a long face. He snuggled on Bianca's lap and looked at Luke unhappily.
When Luke turned around, he hugged Bianca even more tightly.
"What are you doing, Lanie Crawford?" Luke looked at the little boy in confusion.
Lanie looked at Luke with some hostility in his eyes. "Don't kiss Mommy anymore!" "Why?" Luke was curious.
Lanie glared at him angrily. "Look! Mommy's lips are all swollen now. It must be very painful.'
When he saw Daddy kissing Mommy earlier, he did not notice that Mommy's lips were swollen. novelbin
Even if Daddy loved Mommy, he should not have made her lips swollen!
Luke glanced at Bianca's swollen and supple lips, then at Lanie. "It doesn't hurt. Your Mommy likes it that way."
Bianca ignored Luke's teasing and hugged Lanie more tightly. She silently swore that she would keep the kids away when they made out.
Lanie stomped his foot when he saw that Mommy did not reply. "You're lying, Daddy! Shame on you for lying to children! Mommy is sad; she doesn't like you treating her so violently!’
Luke rolled his eyes at his son, but when his gaze floated over to Bianca, he looked at her charmingly. "Do you think that Mommy is sad? The more Daddy treats Mommy that way, the more I love her."
Lanie thought that Daddy’s gaze was detestable, as though he was interrogating him.
The little boy took a deep breath and hugged Lanie's neck with his meaty arms. "I'll protect you, Mommy. Bad Daddy won't be so rude to you anymore. Your lips are swollen, and it must hurt when you eat. How do you reduce the swelling?" i "My lips don't hurt, Lanie. Daddy isn't bullying Mommy. You have to trust Daddy that he loves Mommy as much as you do." Bianca felt warmth in her heart when she saw that the little boy cared so much for her.
The two caring and intelligent children were her most treasured gifts from heaven.
Lanie seemed visibly relieved, but his face was still scrunched up. "Daddy, I'll forgive you this time because Mommy said so. I won't go so easy on you next time."
Luke glanced at the little boy impassively, i
He turned to look at Bianca, and his gaze turned as gentle as a spring breeze.
Lanie felt a lot better when he saw that. Then, he ran into the bedroom.
Daddy seemed to have a lot to tell Mommy, so he would not disturb them.
He went into the bedroom to do his homework with his sister.
Daniel sat in the CEO's office, listening to the reports from his subordinates.
He was extremely tired and stressed.
"Mr. Tanner, our contracts have all been outbid by T Corporation, and no one is willing to work with our company. If this goes on, the financial situation of the company will be worrying." Manager A reported to Daniel while wiping away cold sweat on his forehead.
"One of our major shipments is detained at the customs, Mr. Tanner. I've contacted the authorities, but they said that there's some problem with the formalities. A substantial portion of our liquid funds are stuck in that shipment, and the banks are refusing to grant us any loans. We don't have any other sources of income. Look here…" Manager B sighed.
Manager C said helplessly, "The stock markets have been unstable lately, and our share prices have bottomed out. The shareholders are complaining, but T Corporation has been buying every single share out there… Mr. Crawford of T Corporation is your nephew, Mr. Tanner. Is there some misunderstanding between you two? Otherwise, why would T Corporation be attacking us lately?"
Daniel's expression seemed extremely unpleasant.
How would he know what his crazy nephew was thinking?
Luke had always ignored Tanner Corporation, so why would he suddenly act upon them? Was he forcing his uncle into a dead end?
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 305-Ruthless Annihilation!
Hilton Hotel.
He knew from his sister Allison that his nephew Luke was in a business meeting at the hotel and rushed there instantly.
He waited patiently until the meeting was over and instantly saw Luke in his business suit walking out of the hotel escorted by a group of elites.
Every one of those people was outstanding, but Luke's dominating presence and impeccable face made him stand out from the crowd.
"Luke," Daniel called out to him.
Luke noticed his uncle and waved at the elites.
The other people knew that it was their time to disperse. Only Luke and Daniel were left in the lobby.
"Is there something, Uncle Daniel?" Luke asked, even though he knew why his uncle was there.
"Can you tell me where I have offended you, Luke? Are you planning to ruin my company? What can I do to make you spare Tanner Corporation?' Daniel spoke humbly to Luke so that he could save his life's work.
In only a few days, Daniel's elderly countenance became more haggard than ever.
His company was facing a life-and-death crisis. He would bow to his junior if that was what it took to save his company. However, he could not understand why T Corporation would be attacking his company.
Luke smirked. "You shouldn't be looking for me today, Uncle Daniel. If you want to know the reason why, you should ask that precious son of yours."
If Xavier signed the divorce agreement and promised that he would not bother Bianca anymore, he might have forgiven Tanner Corporation because they were family.
He would have annihilated Tanner Corporation if not that Daniel was his uncle.
Xavier had overstepped his boundaries this time, and Luke acted at the fastest speed to cripple Tanner Corporation.
Daniel nearly popped a vein when he heard that his son was the cause." Xavier? What did that good- for-nothing scoundrel do this time?"
His son had always caused him anxiety.
"Xavier hired someone to spread false information on the internet and had severely damaged mine and Bianca's reputation. More than that, he had involved Lanie and Rainie in it. The children are still young, and they are innocent. If you don't want Xavier to make any more mistakes, I would advise that you discipline him before I do that myself."
Daniel felt burned out by the information he received from Luke.
It was his son again.
He leaned against a Roman column and barely managed to stay upright." You're attacking Tanner Corporation because of Bianca Rayne?"
Luke nodded.
"How can you treat your uncle like that, Luke? Why would you attack your relative just because of an outsider?" Daniel was in disbelief.
Daniel had always been impressed by Luke's outstanding capabilities.
However, why would the usually reasonable Luke be so stubborn about a woman?
More than that, why would he attack his uncle's company just because of a woman?
Daniel did not expect that his junior had defeated his decades of experience running a business.
It had been almost thirty years since he started Tanner Corporation. How could it be crippled by Luke, the rising star of the business world, in a matter of days?
"I'll give you twenty-four hours, Uncle Daniel. You might be able to save your company if Xavier signs the divorce agreement. Otherwise, you can't blame me for being ruthless." After saying that, Luke walked around Xavier and went away, i
With trembling hands, Daniel made a phone call to Allison.
Old Master Crawford went to play chess with his friends, Susan went to visit her parents, and Louis was having fun somewhere. Only Allison, her son, and a middle-aged female caretaker remained in Crawford Manor, i
Allison was sitting on an antique rosewood stool. Her expression was extremely unpleasant.
In front of her was a cup of tea, and opposite the coffee table sat Luke.
"Mother." Luke knew that his mother had summoned him back home to reprimand him. He ignored her ghastly expression.
Allison was almost losing her temper. "Don't call me Mother. I don't have an ingrate for a son! Daniel is your uncle. Why would you attack his company?" "Uncle Daniel's management style is old-fashioned, and he has made many bad decisions. He is stubborn and doesn't listen to his subordinates.
Tanner Corporation has been losing money, and its internal accounts are a mess. Even if I don't do anything to them, they won't last for a few more years…" Luke said calmly. novelbin
Allison was furious. "I don't want to hear all that. In any case, I don't want you laying a finger on your uncle's company!"
Allison did not quite understand what her son was talking about, but she was quite protective of her brother, though it was more because of her selfishness.
She was born and raised in a small family that was neither rich nor influential. Using her seductive looks and relying on Zachary Crawford, she found her position among society’s elite and brought prosperity to the Tanner family.
It was only when Allison entered the upper echelons of society that she found out that most socialite wives came from wealthy families. With the support from their families, they did not get bullied by their in-laws.
Tanner Corporation thrived with her help, but it was a small fry compared to truly wealthy corporations. Susan had always looked down upon the Tanners.
If Tanner Corporation fell to ruin because of her son, Allison would lose her support. Susan would have even more reason to deride and mock her.
Allison slammed the table hard with her palm when she thought of that. "It doesn't matter! I don't allow you to run rampant over Tanner Corporation!"
Luke did not even blink, which intensified Allison's anger.
Just when Allison was about to go on another tirade, a sweet feminine voice was heard from outside. "I'm here to visit you, Aunt Allison."
Luke's expression turned cold when he heard that voice.
Allison's eyes sparkled. "Is it you, Leia? Come in quickly!" She said excitedly.
Leia walked in through the door.
She was dressed in a white fur jacket and wore light make-up, knowing that Allison preferred women who did not wear heavy make-up. If one did not look at her face closely, they would think that she did not put on any makeup at all.
'Hmm… Leia is pretty and considerate. She also has a good upbringing…’
Allison was more and more satisfied when she looked at the perfect candidate for her daughter-in-law…
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 306-In An Act of Impulse, She Kissed Him
Leia's mannerisms were elegant. Each of her movements exuded charm." Long time no see, Aunt Allison."
She said gingerly when she saw that Luke was also there. "You're here too,
Mr. Crawford…"
Luke nodded at her as a courtesy.
Allison stood up and greeted her warmly. "Make yourself at home, Leia. You're not at work now, so why are you calling him Mr. Crawford? You can call him Luke." "That's not very appropriate, right?" Leia was talking to Allison, but her shy gaze drifted to Luke. novelbin
Allison held Leia's slender hand and said excitedly, "It's just a name. I don't think he's so petty that he wouldn't want someone else to call him by his first name! I was wondering why haven't you come to visit me for more than a week, and now you're here."
Luke subconsciously frowned.
He did not know that Leia had become so close with his mother.
Leia's impeccable face blushed when she heard Allison's words. "I'm here to deliver you a present, Aunt Allison. Do you remember the ruby tiara that we saw at the jeweler's the last time we went shopping, and it was out of stock? I was there two days ago, and they've brought in some new designs. I saw one that was similar to the one that you like, and so I bought it for you."
Leia took out an intricate wooden box and handed it to Allison.
Allison opened it and saw that it was the exact ruby tiara that she wanted!
The tiara had a flower-and-leaf motif and was adorned with pearls and rhinestones. Every gem was sparkling and clear while the pearls were gleaming. It looked extravagant but not tacky.
Allison adored the tiara.
She might not be too well-versed with manners and etiquette, but she knew how to dress up. If she did not open her mouth, she would pass for a noble socialite.
She stroked the tiara and said emotionally, "You're so considerate, Leia. I'd die happy if Luke were half as considerate as you."
Leia smiled sweetly. 'I'm sure that Luke loves you very much, Aunt Allison. He's probably busy with his work, and he doesn't have that much time to accompany you."
Allison felt relieved when she heard that.
She wore the tiara on her immaculately permed hair and asked Leia, "How do I look, Leia?”
Allison was currently wearing a dark-blue handmade gown at that moment. She might be in her fifties, but her entire get-up made her look classic and noble. One could see how beautiful she was in her younger days.
"The tiara looks very good on you, Aunt Allison. Your gown looks fabulous too…" Leia praised.
Allison could not stop grinning. "You have a silver tongue, Leia. I'd be overjoyed if I have a daughter like you. Luke bought this gown for my birthday a few months ago." "Luke has good taste, Aunt Allison," Leia continued to heap on the flattery." I wouldn't have been able to pick a gown that would match your personality.
"If you like it, I'll get Luke to buy another gown for you," Allison said.
Leia shyly lowered her head and said nothing.
Allison did not stop dressing down Luke. "I'd rather give birth to a daughter. See how considerate Leia can be? She remembers what I like and came here to give it to me. What can you do other than make me angry?'
Luke did not reply. He leaned back on the couch and silently watched the financial news on the television.
While Leia chatted with Allison, her eyes occasionally stole glances at Luke. The infatuation in her eyes was evident.
Allison knew what the young woman was thinking, and she did not call her out. They continued chatting for a long time.
Seeing that it was getting late, Leia got up and excused herself.
It was drizzling outside, and the north wind was blowing. Stepping out of the warm house, Leia was suddenly plunged into a bone-chilling cold. Allison wanted Leia to stay the night, but Leia knew that her father would not be happy if she did not return.
Allison tried to create an opportunity for her son. "I won't be at ease if Leia has to go home in such terrible weather. Why don’t you send her home?"
The weather might be cold, but the city remained bustling. Many cars traveled on the expressway, though the traffic was slightly lighter than before.
Crawford Manor was at the east of the city. It was about an hour's drive away from Leia's house.
Leia was very excited as she sat in the heated luxury car.
She looked at the noble gentleman at the wheel and said softly, "Thank you for sending me home." "Don't mention it," Luke said impassively.
His expression darkened when he saw the heavy traffic in front of him.
'What's wrong with everyone? Why is everyone out on the road despite the terrible weather?'
At that moment, he wished that he was hugging Bianca in his arms in her apartment. It was only with her that he would shed all pretenses and be his true self…
The two people did not speak much on the journey.
Leia tried to find a conversation topic, but Luke was not interested in engaging. She eventually kept quiet and silently took in the man's cool scent.
Just when she was lost in thought, thinking about how she should get closer to him, the car suddenly stopped.
"We're here." Luke parked the car in front of the Norman family mansion.
Leia was brought out of her fantasies. She looked at the front gate of her house, then at Luke's handsome profile. Suddenly, she leaned close and kissed his cheek, then ran out of the car while blushing…
Luke was stunned. He did not expect that Leia would do that. Instead of counting his lucky stars, he took out a clean handkerchief and wiped his cheek repeatedly with disgust.
Then, he tossed the handkerchief into the trash can!
The silver car sped away like a violent wave and disappeared into the dark night…
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 307-Luke Is Ruthless When He’s Angry!
Late at night. novelbin
Xavier called Pierre and asked him, ‘You've released Nina?" "My brother called to tell me to let her go, and I can’t disobey him. Don't worry, I've already taken her nude photos. Just let me know if you need any help," Pierre said lazily.
"Whatever. We'll talk later.’ Xavier hung up the call unhappily.
Nina was an important pawn in his plan. He could use her to threaten Bianca. Now that he had lost a pawn, his power over Bianca decreased.
Luke was closing in on his family business as though he wanted to raze Tanner Corporation to the ground. That had troubled him greatly.
He had ended the call when his phone suddenly rang again.
He frowned hard when he saw the call notification. It was from his father. There could be no good news.
Xavier did not want to pick up the call, but the phone continued to ring.
With no other choice, he braced himself and answered the call. "Hello, Dad
"How many problems must you bring me, you scoundrel?’ Daniel's angry voice could be heard over the phone. ‘Don't you know what you have done? How dare you oppose Luke? You ought to know that he's ruthless when it comes to business!" "Why are you always scolding me, Dad? He's the one at fault,’ Xavier retorted impatiently.
Daniel felt his chest tighten when he heard Xavier’s retort. "I was wondering why the company is under attack later. I went to meet Luke and he told me that it's because of that Bianca woman. Cant you be a little more considerate to me, Xavier? Why must you fight with Luke over that woman?” "That's not entirely correct, Dad. I'm not fighting with him over that woman.
He's trying to snatch her away from me. My marriage with Bianca is entirely legal and protected by law. Luke is the one who is trying to separate us. You should know who is right and who is wrong." Xavier was indignant.
"Can you stop opposing him, my son? You're not his match. Listen to your dad and divorce Bianca. You're still young, and you can find a better woman. If Luke wants that woman, let him have it."
Daniel sighed. "Do you really want to see the company that I've built up over the past three decades fall into ruin?’
Daniel sat on the couch as he talked to Xavier. He seemed older by ten years.
Lacey also sighed.
The atmosphere in the cavernous mansion was lifeless.
Daniel looked at his son's portrait that hung on the wall. He had been handsome since he was young, and even though he could be naughty, he nevertheless listened to his father. Now that the boy had grown up and had a mind of his own, Daniel could not control him.
Xavier's stubborn and arrogant attitude would eventually lead him to his downfall.
"You don't have to worry about me, Dad. I'll handle it. I'll also save the company. So that's it for now. I'm busy. Bye." Xavier immediately hung up.
Daniel was so angry that he nearly had a heart attack.
He channeled his anger to Lacey. "Look at how you've brought up your son! I've cleaned up his mess so many times since he was young. Because of him, the company is on the verge of ruin. If you hadn't spoiled him, he wouldn't have become like this!"
Lacey was exasperated when she saw that Daniel was blaming her for everything. She pointed at Daniel and cursed, "Do you have a heart, Daniel Tanner? I'm the one who spoiled our child. So you're innocent then? If not that…"
Her tirade was full of accusations against her husband.
Lacey behaved like a shrew, insulting Daniel and flinging things at him. In his frustration, Daniel left the house and slammed the door, leaving Lacey sitting on the floor and crying…
The caretaker gingerly stepped forward and helped her up.
At the same time, a man in his late twenties with an unshaven face nimbly inputted several commands on his computer and deftly surfed the periphery of the Internet.
"This is strange. Where have all my posts gone?" He mumbled to himself.
He tried to search for the posts that he had made for his client but could not find anything, whether he tried searching for the topic or any keywords. His connection was either interrupted, or a notification appeared, saying that his content was blocked for legal reasons.
The unshaven man's name was Gus Chalmers. He was a full-time writer on the Internet, and he had been hired by Xavier to write those posts.
He had studied programming in college, and he considered himself a hacker. Gus would sometimes infiltrate the internal network of a police station. He had never been caught.
That was why Xavier could trust him to carry out his request.
However, Gus had realized that all the posts he made for his client had disappeared. It was the first time that he felt anxious.
His heart was thumping hard, and he had an ominous premonition…
Gus was not a superstitious person. He opened his notepad and prepared to copy and paste what he wrote on Xeddit once more. However, he realized that he could not post it, even with his custom backdoor programs.
Gus started to sweat. 'What's going on?' He thought.
At that time, he received a call from Xavier.
"What's wrong with you? Why have all the posts disappeared?" Xavier was exasperated. "You told me that you're a hacker as well as a writer, and that's why I gave you the job. All your posts have disappeared in a few days. You disappoint me, Gus!‘
Gus's face turned pale.
He did not know why that had happened. The matter was out of his control.
"Don’t worry, Bro. I'll think of something…”
While he was speaking, his room door was kicked open, which almost caused Gus to fall from his chair!
"Who are you? What do you want? Is this a robbery?" He could only stare wide-eyed as several men and women in police uniforms barge into his room and point at him with handguns.
"Freeze, police!"
Gus lifted his hands high. He almost wet his pants.
One of the male police officers produced his police ID and said coldly," You are suspected of committing cybercrime. Please come with us!"
Beep… beep… beep…
On Xavier's side, his phone call with Gus was suddenly cut off. He could only hear the busy tone.
His heart sank and his eyes flashed with a sinister light. He stubbed out the cigarette that had nearly scorched his fingers.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 308-Singling Out Bianca
When Bianca went to work on Monday, she realized that her colleagues were looking at her in a variety of expressions, including sympathy, pity, disdain, and glee. Some people were whispering behind her back, but only Sue was the one who cared for her.
Sue could not take it anymore. She pulled Bianca to a corner and asked her about the post on Xeddit.
"Bianca, I've read the post, and I think that it's a false rumor. I know your character, and I don't think the woman in the post is you. Don't worry about it. You only have to focus on your work."
Bianca was moved.
She had a colleague who believed in her when everyone else was doubtful.
She said that she was fine and asked Sue about Nina.
"Nina was in low spirits. Her illness seemed to be quite serious, and she didn't talk much," Sue answered, not quite sure what was going on.
Nina used to be a positive and energetic young woman. No matter how sick she was, she had never been so lifeless.
Bianca felt guilty when she heard Sue's description. "It's all my fault…"
Sue did not know how Nina's condition was related to Bianca.
She jokingly tapped Bianca's shoulder and said, "What do you mean? We all get sick at some point. Her sickness has nothing to do with you. She'll be fine after a few days' rest. Don't worry, her mother is taking care of her at home."
"Have you completed the design, Bianca?" The department lead walked into the office when Bianca was lost in thought.
She was dressed in a dark-colored woolen jacket with a V-neck. Her pale cleavage was vaguely visible underneath.
As she walked, her breasts jiggled up and down, which made for an eyecatching scene.
"What design?" Bianca was confused.
Sue tried to speak up for her. "So many things happened to Bianca lately. She's just returned from her leave. Can you give her two more days?" "You're really not qualified to be an employee of T Corporation, Bianca!" The department lead said unhappily. "Do you think that your family owns the company, that you can come and go whenever you want? You might have taken a leave of absence, but I've sent all your tasks to your work email. Didn't you have time to check it?"
Bianca did not reply. She knew that she had neglected her duties.
Indeed, she had not been checking her work email for the past few days. She did not expect that the department lead would assign tasks to her because she was on leave.
However, Bianca was not one to shirk off responsibilities. "I'm sorry, Madam," she said, "I didn't check my mailbox, and so I didn't see the tasks you've assigned me." "You're not dedicated to your job, Bianca," the department lead scolded loudly, "Don't you know that you should at least check your mailbox even if you're not in the office? As a designer, how could you ignore your mailbox for days?" "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I promise that this won't happen again." Bianca kept on apologizing.
"What's the point of apologizing? You'll have to submit the design by tomorrow. The client has already asked for it several times. If we delay the submission because of your personal reasons, you'll have to bear all the responsibility," the department lead said disdainfully.
"Alright. I'll get to it now." Bianca understood that the department lead was making life difficult for her.
It was indeed her fault for not checking her mailbox when she had the time.
She took it as a lesson and reminded herself that she would not make the same mistake again.
Bianca opened her mailbox. Indeed, the department lead had sent her an email two days ago.
According to the company rules, an employee need not perform any work- related tasks while they were on leave, but the department lead was deliberately finding fault with Bianca. She had received some benefits from Mavis and was encouraged to make Bianca quit.
Adding on to the fact that the department lead was not fond of Bianca, she was all too eager to play the role of the villain.
Sue stole a glance at the contents of Bianca's mailbox.
She noticed the name of the client and instantly frowned. "Bianca, why did the department lead assign such a difficult task to a new employee like you? There are so many experienced designers in the company." "Is there a problem with the design?" Bianca asked curiously.
"The problem isn't with the design but with the client. Six famous designers in our company produced more than a dozen drafts for them, but not only had they rejected everything, but they also said that our designs are worthless… I handed in two drafts as well, but they're both rejected. I'm not sure what kind of design the client wants, but I don't think they ought to be nitpicking so much. Think about it, even the most famous designer in the company got rejected, and you're just a rookie…" Sue said indignantly.
Bianca did not say anything. She was lost in thought.
If the department lead assigned the task to her, she would do her best no matter how difficult it might be.
"Pretty ladies! Anyone here willing to make me a cup of coffee?" An attractive masculine voice was heard from outside. A moment later, the handsome Louis walked in through the door.
When the department lead saw him, she puffed up her chest and blushed." Good morning, Vice President Crawford. I'll get the coffee for you."
Louis Crawford might be the vice president of T Corporation, but he had nothing except for a title and seldom appeared in the company. Even so, many female employees of T Corporation admired him, not only because he had a substantial stake in the company because he was from the novelbin
Crawford family, but also because he had a charming appearance and a silvertongue.
Luke Crawford was too distant and aloof. The female employees would rather fantasize about getting married to Louis.
Either way, one would still become a Mrs. Crawford.
One of such female employees was the lead of the design department.
Bianca shot a quick glance at Louis, then returned to perusing the design brief.
As much as she tried to diminish her presence, Louis immediately picked out Bianca. "The pretty lady in the yellow coat over there, can you make a cup of coffee for me? I've heard from my elder brother that you make good coffee."
The only woman with a yellow coat in the office was Bianca.
Bianca lifted her head. She felt helpless when she looked at Louis, who pretended not to recognize her.
Meanwhile, the department lead had the urge to disfigure Bianca's pretty face!
'This is ridiculous! She's new in the company, but she has gotten the CEO’s attention. Now, even the vice president wants her to make him coffee!'
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 309-Sending Shockwaves Across A City!
Soon, Bianca made a cup of coffee and served it to Louis. "This is the coffee that you requested, Vice President Crawford."
She returned to her desk and continued working seriously.
Louis took a few sips. Indeed, the coffee was fragrant and at the right temperature.
It was different from how other people made it. novelbin
Louis gestured a thumbs-up at Bianca and asked curiously, "Your skills are pretty good. Have you been a barista before?"
His appreciation toward Bianca was genuine. Not only was she beautiful and amiable, but she could also make the most delicious cup of coffee.
"For a while, yes," Bianca answered as her eyes were transfixed on the computer screen.
That was when she went overseas after giving birth to two children. Back then, she had to work part- time at a cafe to make a living even though she was suffering from depression. Before she knew it, it had already been five years.
Louis nodded and rubbed his chin as though thinking of something. "Do you know how to cook then?"
He wanted to get to know Bianca more so that he could help his elder brother.
Bianca was busy with work. She glanced at Louis and wondered if the vice president had nothing better to do than chat with her when everyone else was neck-deep with tasks.
He might be able to slack off because he was the vice president, but Bianca was only a lowly employee!
The department lead interjected, "Young women nowadays are so pampered, Vice President Crawford. Bianca wouldn't know how to cook, but my father is a chef in a restaurant, and I have been learning from him since I was young. I…"
When she was bragging to Louis about her culinary skills, the man was standing behind Bianca, watching her sketch a design instead of listening to her.
The department lead's face contorted out of anger.
The other female colleagues covered their mouths and giggled when they saw how the department lead could not gain the vice president's favor. That made the department lead feel more humiliated than ever.
She glared angrily at those female colleagues, turned around, and walked back to her office on her high heels.
Louis observed Bianca, who was thoroughly focused on her work.
The woman had a gentle face, but her jawline was taut when she was serious, which made her look more mature and attractive. However, he frowned when he saw what Bianca was doing on her computer.
"Good morning, Mr. Crawford!" Suddenly, Sue stood up and said loudly, which attracted the attention of everyone in the design department.
They saw Luke walk through the door.
The man was dressed in a black business suit which perfectly outlined his sculpted body. However, he seemed more inhospitable than usual and caused the employees around him to shudder.
Everyone greeted him, and Luke nodded slightly as a response.
"Make me a cup of coffee, Bianca."
He was unhappy when he noticed that Louis was bent over behind Bianca's back. After making that request, he told his younger brother to meet him in the CEO's office on the top floor, then turned around and went to his elevator.
Was the boss there to specifically ask for coffee or to look for his younger brother?
Either reason was ridiculous!
"Wait for me, Brother! Why are you so cold? No wonder everyone calls you the Cold-Faced Devil!" Louis shouted as he chased Luke from behind.
The employees were quite impressed by how Louis had called Luke by that nickname.
In the CEO's office, Louis sat on the couch and said with a wide grin on his face, "That prospective wife of yours isn't too bad, Brother. She can even make good coffee too. I'd consider making up to her if not that she's already yours."
Luke's expression remained cold. "If you can still be flirting around in the design department, you look like you have too much free time. Never mind, we need someone in East Africa to negotiate the contract. You can go there the day after tomorrow."
Louis wailed. "You can't do that to me, Brother! You know that I have no talent in business, so why are you sending me to that desolate place to negotiate a contract? What if I mess up?" "If you mess up,
then don't come back. You can learn a lot from the branch headquarters there." "…“ Louis was speechless.
'He must not be my elder brother. If he's my elder brother, he wouldn't have dispatched me there.'
While they were chatting, Bianca was far away, making a cup of coffee for the boss.
When she entered the CEO’s office, she heard Louis say, "Brother, she makes good coffee. Can I get her to make me a cup of coffee every day?" "Make your own coffee. Bianca only makes coffee for me." Luke did not want Bianca to make coffee with another man, even if that man might be his younger brother.
"Say, aren't you a little too possessive of your future wife?" Louis flashed a cheeky smile on his handsome face.
"Shut up!" Luke interjected.
"Here's the coffee you requested, Mr. Crawford."
Bianca placed the cup on the table and was about to leave when she heard Luke's distant yet caring voice, "Are you used to working here yet?"
"I'll manage. I'll try my best to catch up with my colleagues," Bianca said seriously.
"Mm. Go and do your work then."
Luke's cold expression seemed to have warmed up by several degrees as he watched Bianca leave the office. Louis was quite surprised.
'My elder brother can be a robot when it comes to work. Looks like he's gaining some humanity when Bianca is around.'
However, Louis resumed his serious expression when he thought of the contents of Bianca's task. "Brother, Bianca is still a design assistant, but I saw that the department lead gave her an important task. Can a new employee like her handle that? I'm sure that the department lead is deliberately making her life difficult."
Louis might be a playboy, but he had a sharp eye for reading expressions, especially from females.
He nearly wanted to throw up when he saw how the department lead was trying to gain his attention.
He might have bothered to entertain that woman for a while, if not that Old Master Crawford was keeping a close eye on him.
"Bianca is a new recruit. If she wants to make her mark, then she'll have to show what she can do. She is talented and diligent, but she is too sensitive and self-conscious. She'll need to experience some hardship. Moreover, if she can't handle such a minor task, then she won't be of much use as an employee. Even if I can harbor her for now, she won't enjoy it in the design department," Luke explained.
He hoped that Bianca could grow and thrive in the design department…
At the same time, an article personally written by Eugene Hawking, CEO of JK Media, sent shockwaves throughout A City!
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 310-Is That Idiot In the Article Really Luke?
"How Envious! After Ten Years of Courting His Sweetheart, Luke Crawford of T Corporation Claims A Beautiful Woman and Two Cute Twins!" The title of the article from JK Media was incredibly eye- catching.
The contents of the article were incredibly cliched. However, Eugene had a gift for writing, and the subject was Luke Crawford of T Corporation. The article created shockwaves once it was published in newspapers and magazines!
The article was roughly like this: About ten years ago, Luke Crawford went to a school in a small town because of his ill health. There, he met with Bianca Rayne and fell in love at first sight.
The two young lovebirds dated each other in school and shared many good times together. Later, Luke was forced to return to A City because he had to take over the family business. However, he promised Bianca that he would take her as his wife.
Many years later, Luke had grown into a handsome man, and Bianca had become a beautiful lady. When they eventually met again, a real-life Cinderella story ensued. The couple rekindled their love once again, and they cohabitated for a period.
Unfortunately, Luke's family disapproved of the relationship because of Bianca's lowly status. Luke's mother opposed them the most and had even arranged a marriage for him while he was not at home. Together with a young woman from a wealthy family, they had forced Bianca to flee from A City.
When Bianca was leaving, she had given a call to Luke, who had just landed at the airport. He instantly rushed back, but unfortunately, he met with a car accident. Luke lost his memory because of that and forgot everything about the woman he had sworn to protect with his life.
A few months later, when they met again, Luke did not recognize Bianca. Bianca sank into despair, but she realized that she was pregnant. To show her love for Luke, she gave birth to twins and planned to raise them herself despite condemnation from the public.
However, when the Crawford family realized that Bianca had given birth to Luke's children, they mercilessly snatched them away and drove Bianca out of the country, in fear that Luke might regain his memory when he saw her and the twins, 1
Eugene described how Bianca had suffered while she was alone overseas, like how he would write the tragic backstory of the female lead in a romance novel.
Meanwhile, Luke might have lost the memory from the car accident, but he vaguely remembered a female figure. Eugene explained that it was why Luke did not have any desire for any other woman after that.
Five years later, the couple reunited once more.
They had spent so long apart, but unfortunately, fate was not so kind to them…
Eugene had narrated the real-life Cinderella story as vividly as he could. The twists and turns in the couple's relationship were as cliched and moving as they could be.
The article not only appeared in the magazines and newspapers under JK Media but was also copied and shared in all major Internet outlets.
Attached to the article was a "family photo" of Luke, Bianca, and the kids at the theme park, as well as a video clip of the two angelic children calling out for their Daddy and Mommy.
It was a touching scene.
The article from JK Media had garnered a lot of sympathy for Luke and Bianca's relationship.
JK Media was renowned for its unbiased and authoritative reporting. The article read like something from a tabloid.
However, that did not diminish the people's trust in JK Media.
Rather than believing a Xeddit post from an anonymous source, they would rather believe an article from a reputable media company.
Instantly, public opinion turned to support Luke and Bianca.
Everyone who read the article was moved by Luke and Bianca's unwavering loyalty to each other.
They understood: The mother of those two cute children is Bianca!
That was why Luke had never been seen with another woman. He had loved the same woman over ten years and did not even forget about her when he lost his memory! How touching!
No wonder the children did not have a mother. Luke's family had separated their parents.
Now that the family of four had reunited, it was going to be a happy ending
All the newspapers and magazines under JK Media sold out that day.
However, Luke resentfully gritted his teeth when he read the article.
'Is that idiot man in the article really me?
'What nonsense is Eugene writing? It's totally different from the information I gave him. Did he make up most of the plot? Does he have a death wish?'
Luke gave a call to Eugene. "What did you write? That's not what I gave you.
Eugene laughed. "So what do you think about my writing skills? I told you that I'd write a masterpiece that will move everyone who reads it, and it turns out that it is indeed the case. I say, Mr. Crawford, the things you write aren't going to convince anyone. It reads like a boring financial report. You should learn from me next time."
Luke was not sure how he could get across to Eugene. novelbin
However, he understood that JK Media was an authoritative source of information. The article might be cliched, but it nonetheless could restore Bianca's reputation. He was willing to play the idiot for that.
"Whatever it is, thanks anyway. What do you want?" Luke asked.
Eugene did not hold back. "The piece of land to the west of the holiday resort in Southern A City." "The piece of land is worth billions and has a lot of potential. As long as it is developed properly, it will attract a lot of investors. Its future value is more than ten times what it's worth now. I didn't expect that you have an eye for that as well," Luke said gloomily.
He had been keeping an eye on that piece of land. In fact, he was sure to win the bid.
Eugene's hearty laughter carried a hint of cunning. "We're all businessmen.
You should know that there's nothing more important to us than profits." "Sure. It's yours. Thanks for helping." Luke agreed to it readily, even though he was quite reluctant.
Luke had promised Eugene that he could ask for anything he wanted. He was not going to go back on his words.
"That's why I like doing business with you! However, Xavier isn't divorced from Bianca yet. Aren't you worried that Xavier might do something drastic when you force him into a corner?" Eugene asked curiously.
I've made arrangements forthat," Luke replied.
He had tasked Jason to run some errands for him earlier. Jason should be almost returning.
Jason had always been dependable. With him around, Xavier would…
At that time, Jason knocked on the door and entered the office.
