Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 791- Queenie Came to Visit
When Luke woke up again, he saw Bianca sitting next to him on the bed.
One of her hands was gently caressing his palm, while her chin rested on her other hand as she stared at him.
She was unbelievably beautiful under the warm sunlight. Her face was fair and soft, and her eyes were clear and animated.
Her eyelashes were thin and long. When she blinked, they flapped like two nimble butterflies.
However, there seemed to be an inexplicable melancholy in her gaze.
He could not help but frown. He did not wish to see her worry about something.
Bianca smiled gently when she saw that Luke was awake. ’ Are you hungry?
It's about to rain outside. What do you want to eat? I'll have it delivered."
Luke shook his head and patted his bed. "I'm not hungry. Come and lie down next to me, Bea."
Bianca let go of his hand and went to pour a glass of warm water for him." Your lips look dry. You should drink some water."
Luke took the glass and gently sipped the water. He looked at her, noticing that there was something not quite right with her expression.
Bianca chuckled when she saw that Luke was looking intently at her. "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
Her voice was very pleasant.
She was born and raised in the south, and so she had a peculiar drawl to her syllables, like water flowing in a brook in spring, or like a gentle breeze.
Luke thought that his wife was the most beautiful woman in the world. He took her hand and placed it on his chest.
Through the bandages, Bianca could feel the rhythmic beat of his heart.
Bianca was afraid that she might accidentally touch his wounds. She wanted to pull her hand back. "Your wounds..." "It's fine. Luke kissed her soft hair and spoke gently, "I might recover faster if you touch my wounds."
Bianca was amused by his childish actions, though she could not help but feel dejected when she was reminded of Mavis's brazen behavior earlier." You bring me nothing but trouble. You might be married with children, but women can't help but fall for you. What should I do about that?" "What are you thinking?" Luke gently flicked her forehead. "Why do you suddenly say that? Don't you trust me?"
Luke was sleeping earlier and did not know that Mavis came to visit.
Bianca quarreled with Mavis outside the ward.
The door to the ward did a good job of insulating sounds from the outside. That was why he did not know about the tensions that ran between the two women.
Bianca playfully pinched his arm and said angrily, "No, I trust you, but I hate those women who are as pesky as flies... Sigh, my husband is an extremely charming man, and that's why many women fall for him. If I'm angry because of such a petty matter, then I'd be living in jealousy for my whole life."
Luke looked at her in puzzlement. "What happened?" "It's nothing..."
Luke pinned her down on the bed in the middle of her sentence. "You shouldn't lie to me, my darling."
Bianca did not struggle in case she accidentally touched his wounds. She hugged her neck as she said coyly, "It's really nothing. My husband has a face that would make any woman fall for him. I'm afraid that some other seductress might steal his heart..."
She did not tell Luke that Mavis came earlier. He might have had no affection for that woman, but Mavis had been by his side for more than ten years, witnessing his growth from an unknown entrepreneur to the CEO of a multinational conglomerate. She probably occupied a unique position in his heart.
Luke was an intelligent man, and he should know that Mavis admired him. He might be pretending that he did not know about it because he did not want to ruin their working relationship. Bianca decided that she should help him solve that problem.
Luke was Bianca's wife now. Mavis had no right to covet him. i
Bianca felt relieved when she thought about that.
Luke was not sure how to react when he heard those words. "Silly girl!" 'She doesn't know how much I love her. Why is she always thinking of such nonsense?
'Is it because she doesn't feel secure with me?'
Queenie came to the VIP hospital ward at about five o'clock in the evening.
She handed an insulated container to Bianca. Her heart wrenched when she saw that her daughter seemed to be more and more haggard by the day, and her son-in-law lying on the hospital bed. "I made some food for you, Luke and Bea. You should eat some."
Bianca took the container and led her mother to sit down at a chair. "Why did you come over, Mom? Where's Dad?"
Queenie's gaze wavered slightly. "Your dad is... pulling some strings. The accident at The Galleria is too serious, and if it comes to it, we still have an escape route... Don't worry about the accident, Luke. You should rest well for now. There has to be a solution for this, no matter how difficult it might be."
Luke took a sip of the bone broth that Bianca brought to him in a bowl.
The broth tasted delicious, but Queenie's words left a bitter aftertaste in his mouth.
Mr. Jack Norman was known for his honesty and impartiality. He had always hated getting things done by relying on connections, but he had made an exception for what happened to T Corporation. He was moved, but at the same time, he felt guilty.
"Thank you, Mom... and Dad too."
Bianca felt uneasy about it too. His father had been an honest politician for all his life, and he was about to retire soon. She felt guilty that she let her parents worry about their problems, but she was helpless about it.
She finally realized that her parents were always there for her.
Queenie turned her head away and brushed away the tears at the corners of her eyes. She ladled a bowl of broth for Bianca. "You should have some broth too, my daughter. I know that you like bone broth, and that's why I made some for you and Luke. Let me know what you want to eat, and I'll cook it for you next time."
Bianca shook her head. "There are a lot of restaurants outside of the hospital, Mom. They’re not very far away, and I can buy food for myself and Luke from there. Luke will be discharged in a few days. You
shouldn't have troubled yourself." "You're my daughter, Bianca. I'd do anything for you."
Queenie watched them finish the food in the insulated container. "Your dad should be home soon. I'll have to go home and cook for him. We'll come over later in the night. Give me a call if you need anything." "Alright," Luke said, "Drive safe, Mom."
Queenie wiped her eyes again. "Sigh, alright. I'll tidy up the guest room too. When you're discharged, you should stay over in our house for a few days. I happen to be free, and Bea and I can take turns to take care of you." i
When Queenie arrived home, her husband was not back yet. She remembered that Leia had been cooped up in her room for the past few days, and she thought of asking her what she wanted for dinner.
She was about to knock on the door of her daughter's room when she vaguely heard the sound of a man coming from inside...
Queenie was stunned on the spot. The hand that was about to knock on the door froze in mid-air
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 792- Someone Is Outside the Door
Leia was half-naked on the bed with Wayne.
She was panting heavily after the vigorous session when Wayne abruptly covered her mouth. "Shh..." "What's wrong?" Leia glared at Wayne unhappily while her limber body crawled onto Wayne's chest.
"Someone's outside!"
Wayne was acutely aware of his surroundings, even when he was making out with a woman.
Leia broke out in a cold sweat, and she struggled to get up. "My mom must be back. Let go of me, you b*stard!"
Even though the door was locked and Queenie would not barge in, Leia was scared that someone might catch her in the act, and she was even more afraid that her parents found out that she was harboring a wanted criminal.
Instead of letting her go, Wayne cackled sinisterly.
His movements became even more vigorous. "I'm in the middle of something now. Even God will have to wait until I'm done!"
Leia could not believe what she heard. She thought that the man was insane. 1
Her sharp nails dug into Wayne's shoulders, but that only made him even more excited.
Wayne sealed Leia's lips and entered her oral cavity, stopping her from making a sound.
He was not going to be done so soon.
Leia was in utter panic.
She could not take it any longer. She tried to push him away while squeaking softly, "My mom is outside. I... can't let her know..."
Wayne's expression sank. His thick and bushy eyebrows furrowed unhappily, while his hand gripped her waist even more tightly, and he entered her more violently despite her objections.
Leia was losing her mind. That man could be so reckless when he was into it.
He might be shameless, but she wanted to maintain her reputation in the household. What should she do?
Outside the room, Queenie seemed to have heard some noise from inside. She thought that she heard a masculine voice, but the door was well- insulated, and she could not tell if she had misheard.
She began to knock on the door. "Are you in the room, Leia? What are you doing inside? I need to talk to you."
Leia was afraid that her mother might find out what was going on. She replied to her while panting, "Mom... ahh... I... I'm still... resting... I'll open... the door for you soon, alright?"
Queenie could not help but be suspicious. She continued asking, "Are you alone in the room, Leia? Why did I hear a male voice? Did you bring... a guest home?"
She knew that Leia was once obsessed with Luke Crawford, but that man had hurt her. Queenie sincerely hoped that Leia would find a man that truly loved her so that she could leave that relationship behind her.
Queenie would be happy for Leia if she brought a suitable significant other to meet her.
She and Jack were not conservative. They would be happy for their daughter as long as she believed that the man was truly meant for her.
Leia was scared out of her wits when she heard her mother's words.
Her mind snapped out of the euphoria. "N... No... Mom... I'm not feeling very well now... just... wait for a while, and I'll open the door..."
Queenie remained suspicious, but she did not say anything about it." Alright, you should rest if you're not feeling well. What do you want for dinner? I'll cook whatever you like." "Anything... will do... ahh... I like anything that you make..." Leia said hoarsely.
"Alright,” Queenie replied, then went downstairs.
Leia breathed a sigh of relief as she heard her mother's high heels go down the stairs.
Wayne, sprawled over Leia's body, moved even more vigorously. A long while later, he growled satisfactorily, and his sweaty body fell on Leia's body.
Leia frantically pushed his burly body away. "My mom is back, Wayne. She can't find out that you're here. Otherwise... otherwise, I'm finished! Stay here in the room, and I'll bring you something to eat. You should... rest first." "Mm," Wayne replied lazily with his eyes half-open. He closed his eyes and began to rest.
Leia's room was like paradise compared to when he was on the run. The woman would feed him good food, and he could make out with her whenever he wanted. He would not mind living there forever.
Leia put on her clothes as quickly as possible and tidied up the messy room.
She covered Wayne's body with a blanket, hastily smoothened her hair, and prepared to go downstairs.
The moment she opened the door, she saw Ms. Lang standing outside the room like a phantom. "Ms. Leia, Madam wants to know if you'd like some soup for dinner."
Her gaze inadvertently fell to the room's interior.
Leia had been very secretive lately. She never let the caretakers into her room, and she would sometimes bring her meals inside.
The most surprising thing was that her appetite had suddenly increased tremendously.
The amount of food she brought into her room every meal was enough to feed two adult men, but the plates were always licked clean every time. Ms. Lang was incredibly curious about what was going on. i
Leia nearly passed out because of Ms. Lang's sudden appearance at the door.
She tried to block the caretaker from looking inside, and her hands clutched the door tightly. "Ms. Lang, didn't I tell you before that you should knock on the door before you call me? Don't you know your manners? If this happens again, I'll get my mom to fire you!" She reprimanded coldly.
Even though the door was only slightly ajar, Ms. Lang could smell the hormones that wafted from the room.
She was already more than fifty years old. She obviously knew what was going on inside.
Leia might be trying to block her view, but she could tell that underneath the blanket on Leia's bed was... a man?
Ms. Lang was discreetly shocked.
Even so, her expression remained composed.
The caretaker's gaze wavered when Leia reprimanded her. "It's my fault, Ms. Leia. I'm sorry. I'll pay more attention next time so that I don't make this silly mistake again!" 'Should I tell Madam about what I saw?" She thought.
Leia grunted coldly, slammed the door shut, and went downstairs in quick, small steps.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 794- No One Can Harm His Family!
In the VIP hospital ward, Gale and Rain stood in front of the bed and looked at Luke with worry in their eyes.
They fell into the ocean at the same time, but fortunately, the two of them were saved by Percy Mallory.
They had been recuperating from their serious injuries.
Later, they were overjoyed to find out from Percy that their leader was still alive!
Luke was their savior. He had single-handedly destroyed Robert's hidden training base from within and led them out of the hellish Island of Despair. They were grateful that Luke had granted them a new lease of life, and they swore eternal loyalty to him.
Johann was performing a check-up on Luke's body. He was surprised when he analyzed the data. "I say, Bro, your regenerative powers are insane! A normal person would take at least a month to recover from broken ribs, but it's only been a week, and it would take someone else two weeks to reach where you are. Tsk, what a monster! You can be discharged today."
Luke did not reply to him.
He had his training on the Island of Despair to thank for his inhuman constitution.
He frequently got injured there, and he had secretly used his knowledge of herbology to treat his body using various medicinal herbs found on the island. That was why his constitution improved greatly.
Gale was delighted when he heard Johann's report. "Dr. Johann, are you saying that Boss's body is fine? That’s good news!"
Rain did not like to speak. She had a charming oval-shaped face, but her demeanor was as cold as ice.
Even though the other people knew her as an ice queen, she was visibly happy when she heard the news.
"Boss, Gale and I have disguised ourselves as police officers in charge of the investigation task force. We infiltrated the site of the accident to look for evidence, and we have made a discovery."
Rain handed Luke a stack of photos taken at the ruins of The Galleria as well as a report of the evidence.
Luke pressed his lips as he took those documents. He carefully read every page of the report.
Gale also said sternly, "Boss, we've found remnants of CK-20 explosives at ground zero. CK-20 is one of the latest inventions of the Island of Despair. Once detonated, it will react with all the oxygen over a widespread area. That'll deprive all the people in the affected area of oxygen.
"Many of the people who had lost their lives in the collapse died of suffocation and not of trauma. I'm wondering why there would be traces of CK-20 in A City when we have destroyed the entire stockpile of the explosive before we left the Island of Despair."
Luke's gaze narrowed when he heard what Gale said.
Kassy's beautiful yet sinister face surfaced in his mind again.
Somehow, Luke had a hunch that Kassy was still alive somewhere...
If Kassy were still alive, then she would attack his family.
Luke's gaze turned into ice when he thought of that possibility.
He would not let any harm come to Bianca!
He instantly gave his next order to Gale. "Cooperate with Percy Mallory and find out Kassy's whereabouts. Contact me the very instant you find anything. If she presents herself as a threat to my wife, kill her on the spot!"
Gale hesitated for a moment. "Boss, Kassy might be ruthless, but she saved your life after all..."
Other people might not know how life was on the Island of Despair, but Gale and Rain knew it very well.
Many people met an untimely end on that hellish island, where only the fittest survived. Their boss might be strong and capable, but he was the weakest when he first arrived there. Many people had bullied him, and he had nearly lost his life on multiple occasions.
Kassy had secretly protected him, and that was how he managed to survive and thrive in that environment.
Luke did not frown as he retorted, "She saved my life? Heh, she would’ve dispatched me if not that she had ulterior motives! Moreover, I’ve made them uncountable riches while I was on the island, and that should've paid back whatever debt of gratitude I owe them. I won't act on Kassy as long as she doesn't show up in front of me or attempt to harm my family, but if she insists on doing so, I wont show her any mercy!"
Gale and Rain had no words to reply to that.
Once their boss decided on something, no one could change his mind.
Just like Luke said, even though Kassy might have saved his life, the woman was cunning and ruthless. Many innocent lives had died because of her, and she was even crueler than Madame Rose. A menace like her was better off dead.
Johann knew how much Luke loved Bianca. He patted Luke's shoulder and said, "You dont have to worry too much, Bro. We'll act according to the situation. It's not that easy to break through the defenses of your mansion, and we have found solid evidence of their crimes. They'll eventually have to be brought to justice."
Luke's expression was sullen.
Johann did not know how cruel that woman could be. The security measures at his mansion were nothing to her.
He would have to use stronger protective measures for his family!
While they were talking, Jason barged in through the door, panting. "Mr. Crawford, the hospital is surrounded by police officers, a group of troublemakers, and many reporters!"
It had been a week since the tragedy of The Galleria, but T Corporation had not released any statements since the press conference.
Even though Bianca promised everyone a satisfactory explanation at the press conference, the investigation process faced many difficulties. The perpetrators managed to remove most of the evidence, and the document in Luke's hands was the first clue that the accident was man-made.
However, the families of the deceased grew impatient.
They bribed the reporters and besieged the hospital, intending to force an answer out of Luke Crawford today!
That was brazen instigation.
Luke stood up from the bed and glanced impassively at the commotion at the entrance.
The scene was crowded and chaotic. All he could see was a sea of heads.
There were police officers, a mob of troublemakers, and a crowd of onlookers...
The troublemakers waved blood-red banners filled with slanderous slogans.
However, Luke's gaze remained calm...
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 795- Don't Dodge the Question, Luke
The "answer" that they wanted was, of course, the amount of compensation that they would receive.
Even without the families of the deceased protesting, Luke would be granting them the maximum amount.
He might be the Cold-Faced Devil in the business world, but he was influenced by Bianca's kindness after spending a long time with her.
However, he was unhappy that those people had surrounded the hospital.
He wondered if they caused Bianca, who was back at home, any trouble.
Luke turned his ice-cold gaze at Jason. "Are they bothering Bianca?"
He did not mind being embroiled in controversy, but he hoped that the mob would not harass his wife and children.
Bianca had stayed in the hospital for the past few days to take care of him. She was at her physical limit, and Luke forced her to go home and rest.
Jason answered instantly, "Don’t worry, they're not going to find her at the mansion. The security measures are tight there, and there hasn't been any trouble." "Mm, that's good to know. I'll be discharged today. You can tell Bianca that she doesn't have to go to the company." "Understood."
After dealing with many miscellaneous matters, Luke left the hospital through a secret exit and managed to evade the troublemakers and the reporters.
It was almost midnight when he returned to the mansion.
The caretaker was surprised to see him back home. She escorted him to his room. "You're back, Sir! Madam has been talking about you. Have you had your dinner?"
The caretaker took his coat and diligently hung it at the coat rack.
Luke stepped into the room and asked, "I haven't. Is Bianca asleep?"
The caretaker replied, "Madam and the children went to bed after dinner. I'll go and heat the leftovers in the kitchen." "Mm," Luke's eyelids drooped as he took off his shirt. No one knew what he was thinking.
A while later, he stood up and went upstairs.
The caretaker glanced at Luke’s back while she heated the food in the kitchen and was reminded that Bianca seemed depressed in the past few days. She felt sorry for the couple that seemed to be always beset with ordeals, i
She knew that Luke and Bianca shared a loving relationship, but she also knew that many relationships would break down in times of crisis. Would this couple be able to weather through the storm?
Eventually, the caretaker shook her head, sighed, and went on with her work.
When Luke opened the door, he saw Bianca sleeping on their bed with the three children.
There were four visible mounds under the blanket, one big and three small.
Under the dim nightlight, Bianca's brows were tightly furrowed, but the twins and Tommy were sleeping soundly.
The faces of the three children were free of worry.
He stood at the door staring at the tranquil scene for a minute before walking inside and planted a heavy kiss on Bianca's fair forehead.
Bianca had not been sleeping well for the past few days. She was a light sleeper because of her nightmares.
Luke's actions woke her up from her dreams.
She opened her eyes groggily and mumbled indistinctly, "You're back, Luke?
"Mm," Luke replied gently. His heart was filled with tenderness as he looked at her innocent expression, and he gently bit her tender lips.
The gentle kiss turned Bianca's limbs into jello.
Her eyes suddenly opened wide. "Why are you out of the hospital, Luke? You haven't fully recovered yet, right? Why don't you stay there for a few more days? You didn't even tell me that you're discharged. I could've gone over and fetched you..."
She sounded like she was complaining as she sat up on the bed.
Her hair was disheveled. A few stray strands covered her clear eyes.
Luke straightened her hair and pecked her lips. "Those aren't serious injuries, and so they recover quite fast. Johann said that I can be discharged too. I don't like the smell of disinfectant in the hospital. Our home smells nicer."
The words "our home" brought warmth to Bianca's heart.
She was nonetheless worried when she thought about the injuries he sustained. "You'd better stay at home for the next few days and don't overwork yourself. I can share your workload. Remember, Luke Crawford, I am your wife and your comrade in battle. Don't bear all the responsibility yourself," Bianca said sternly.
That was the first time that Bianca had used that serious tone with him. It was also her first time emphasizing her identity to him.
Luke's gaze swept carefully over her defiant face, seeming in search of something as he looked at her stiffly straight body. No one knew what he was thinking.
Bianca was a stubborn one. She would not give up unless she received an affirmative answer from Luke.
She did not expect Luke to lean over and gently kiss her lips.
Bianca was somewhat frustrated that the man had always kissed her as a way to evade her questions.
She wanted to push him away, but his actions were so gentle. He held and kissed her as though she was an extremely rare treasure.
Bianca was beginning to waver, but she wanted to hear Luke make that promise. "Say it to me, Luke. I'm not going to let you get away with kissing this time!"
Luke smiled helplessly and patted her head indulgently. "Alright, I promise you. We shall be comrades in battle from now on. Are you happy now?"
Bianca smiled and nodded.
Meanwhile, in a luxurious five-star hotel.
White gauze curtains draped from the ceiling. Fragrant rose petals were scattered on the pure white bed sheets.
A naked couple was making out on the round water bed.
The extremely beautiful and voluptuous woman had distinctive Eastern European features. She was none other than Kassy, who had been in hiding.a
Under her was a handsome young man with sculpted facial features and a strong and lean body.
Upon closer inspection, he looked startlingly similar to Luke Crawford...
He should have been strong and resilient, but he seemed to be in his last throes. The women seemed to have sucked all vitality from his body, and his usually seductive eyes were hollow.
The woman was like a succubus with an unquenchable desire. He was almost dead from an entire night of making out!
The man's eyes glazed over and passed out.
"Useless piece of trash!" Kassy kicked the unconscious man onto the floor and cursed viciously.
As she glanced at the dying man on the floor, Luke's charming face surfaced in her mind once more...
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 796-How Dare You Threaten Me?
Kassy looked gloomily at the naked man who was unconscious on the floor.
'How useless!
'If that were Matthew, he would have given me the pleasure I desire!' The man's tempting body appeared in Kassy's mind.
She had done her best in protecting the man, but he had betrayed her!
Her beautiful face contorted viciously when she thought of that. Even the air around her seemed to have turned into ice.
She draped a silk negligee over her, barely covering her private parts. Then, she pressed a button and coldly ordered, "Come and take this useless piece of trash away!" "Yes, Ms. Kassy!"
Two tall and burly men in suits soon appeared in the room. They dragged the unconscious handsome man out of the room as though they were dragging a piece of roadkill.
They dared not look at Kassy's seductive, barely naked body.
Soon, the room resumed its silence. Only the dim night light cast an eerie glow in the room.
Kassy opened a drawer and took out a photo. On it was the face of a handsome man whom she so loved and hated.
After laying low for so long, her first deed after she arrived in A City was to deliver a surprise "present" for Luke. She wondered if he liked it.
She would deliver more and more presents to Luke in the coming days, including his so-called wife whom he was so obsessed about -- Bianca Rayne.
While Kassy was planning her next move, her phone started ringing.
The only people who knew her phone number were those that she trusted the most. She had an idea of who was calling her when she saw the string of unfamiliar numbers on the screen.
She answered the call and said coldly, "Hello?" "Long time no see, Kassy. How have you been?" Wayne's flippant voice was heard over the phone. "If my guess is correct, you should have just finished making out with some random guy. Am I right?"
Kassy grunted coldly, and the grip on her phone became tighter. "What do you want? Spit it out."
On the other side, Wayne lay comfortably on Leia's bed. He frowned unhappily and said brusquely, "Don't be like that. We're still partners, right? That's not how you should speak to a partner. I've heard that Luke Crawford destroyed your stepfather's base, and you're on the run. That's not a life you want to live, isn't it?"
Kassy could not help but chuckle. "Heh, do you think that you're in a better state? The entire A City, no, the entire country is hunting you down, and you can't even go back to your own home. You're in a far worse state than me, yet you have the guts to mock me. What a joke!"
Wayne was used to being flattered. He could not tolerate a woman criticizing her.
His tone of voice took a violent turn. "I'm going to let that slide because we're still partners and because I pity your current condition. Don't think that you're still Robert's beloved step-daughter; you're nothing but a dog on the run now! I might be wanted, but A City is Blatt family turf. It'll be very easy for me to kill you!"
Kassy thought of the Blatt family's massive influence and Wayne's cunning and ruthless methods. The man was an expert at killing someone when they least expected it.
She pondered her situation for a brief moment. It would be a bad idea to offend the man and be his victim.
With that thought in mind, she softened her tone. "I'm sorry, Wayne. I shouldn't have spoken so harshly to you. I haven't been in a good mood. Please forgive me, considering that we have been partners for so many years. Also, I'm the one who supplied the explosives to your subordinates to blow up The Galleria. I hope you don't cast me aside after I've served my purpose. Even if you don't like me, at least consider the fact that my stepfather has helped you so much over the years, hmm? If we work together, we can ruin T Corporation and turn A City upside down... isn't that what you want?"
Kassy's voice was gentle and coy, like a feather that tickled Wayne's heart. Her flattery made him feel good.
Wayne could not help but grin when he thought of the situation Luke was currently in.
However, he remained suspicious. "That's exactly what I want. I didn't expect the man to be so fragile! Kassy, are you sure that the explosives you supplied me won't leave any evidence?"
Kassy was so furious that she wanted to smash her phone at that instant, but she stopped herself. "Wayne, you were once an elite special forces soldier and the leader of an international mercenary group. You should be more experienced with explosives than me. You should know that CK-20 is extremely destructive, and its chemical components are extremely volatile. I can bet you that even the best explosives experts would find it hard to detect the slightest trace. Don't worry, they won't be able to find anything." "That better be the case. Otherwise, you should know what I can do to you!"
Wayne's threats continued to echo in Kassy's head after he hung up.
She gritted her teeth in anger.
'Wayne, that b*stard. He can't even fend for himself, yet he threatens me!
'We'll see what happens!'
Late at night, Luke continued to work hard in the study of the mansion.
The desk was piled high with documents, and his eyes were bloodshot from fatigue.
He had been very busy that day. The phone did not stop ringing since morning, and he had to answer every one of them because they contained top-secret information.
He was already hoarse from speaking, and he only managed to find some peace late at night.
He could not relax yet. Instead, he continued to read the documents that Jason brought him. Those required his personal attention.
T Corporation was currently in a crisis. Even though Bianca was assisting him, he still had to do the majority of the work. His leadership had brought T Corporation through many crises in many years.
His reputation in the business circles was starting to decline after the Greenview Regalia arson case and the collapse of The Galleria. That made him frustrated.
The door to the study suddenly opened. Luke thought that it was the caretaker.
He lifted his gaze unhappily and saw Bianca coming in, smiling while holding a hot drink...
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 797- The Culprits Will Soon Get What They Deserve!
Bianca gently called out to the man who was hard at work in the study." Luke."
Luke put away the document in his hand and looked up helplessly at her." It's already so late. Why aren't you sleeping yet?" He sounded as though he was reprimanding her.
Bianca gently blew on the hot drink in her hands, then handed the cup to Luke. "How can I sleep when you're still working? I've made some tangerine honey milk tea for you. Drink it while it's hot."
Luke took the cup of tea.
The golden color of the tea was beautiful. The tangerine pieces floating inside seemed tantalizing.
He took a few sips and was impressed. "Mmm, not bad. The sweet and sour taste makes it very appetizing. I'm lucky that my wife can make such delicious tea. Come over here. Your lips are so dry, and you should have some tea too." "I'm not thirsty. This tea is made just for you." Bianca was not in the mood to listen to his flowery words or drink tea.
So many things had happened recently, and that had exhausted her greatly.
Luke forcefully pulled her into his arms, let her sit on his lap, and fed her a few sips of tea.
Then, he pinched her skinny cheeks and looked at her dearly. "You've lost a lot of weight recently, silly girl. I like you better when your face is meatier."
Bianca rolled her eyes at him. "Meatier? You mean plumper! I think I prefer myself like this. Would you like me better if my face is as round as a pizza?"
Luke could not help but laugh. "Pizza? I don't really mind whatever shape your face might be, you're always the most beautiful woman to me." "You're such a charmer.” Bianca was originally not thirsty. Taking a few sips of the tea whetted her appetite, and she picked up the teacup and drank from it. i
She took several gulps before putting the teacup down. Only a third of the tea was left.
Luke gently tousled her hair seeing that she was happy. His eyes were brimming with love and care.
Bianca blushed when she saw that she had almost finished the tea in the cup.
She had made the tea for Luke, but she ended up drinking most of it.
She awkwardly patted her stomach and smiled apologetically to Luke. "I'll... I'll make another cup for you."
Luke held her hand and stopped her. "It's fine. I'm not thirsty, and I don't really want to drink tea so late at night. You should rest soon because you need to wake up early tomorrow. You shouldn't stay up so late, your body might not be able to take it."
Bianca hugged his waist and buried her head in his chest. "No, you have to rest too. Otherwise, I'll stay here and accompany you in the study. I mean it, " she said coyly.
Her gaze fell on the stacks of documents on the desk.
There were still so many documents to process. Luke would not be able to finish them tonight even if he were Superman.
Luke did not move. He remained seated on his chair as though he did not hear what she said, though he comforted her by gently patting her cheek." Be a good girl. I'll go and sleep after I'm done reading these documents.
It'll take me half an hour at most..."
Bianca shook her head stubbornly. "No! Go to the bedroom with me now and rest. Otherwise, I'll stay here too."
She knew that the man was only making an excuse when he said that it would only take half an hour.
If she did not force him to go and rest, he would be working overnight. It was fine if he did it on any other day, but he had just been discharged from the hospital, and he had not fully recovered. He should not overwork himself.
Luke was usually helpless against Bianca's coy demands, but today, he shook his head helplessly, disobeying her. One of his hands held Bianca, while the other hand tapped rapidly on the keyboard of his laptop.
Bianca poked his chest seeing that he was stubborn. "It's already two o'clock. The sun will come up soon if you're not going to rest." "Be a good girl and go to bed first. I'll be done soon." Luke picked up Bianca and placed her on the soft bed in the lounge that was attached to the study.
Right after Bianca was placed on the bed, she reached out and hugged
Luke's waist tightly as though she were an octopus. He could not leave.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she started to guilt-trip him. "Luke, please listen to me and take a rest. You're not going to finish that much work tonight, and your body hasn't recovered yet. Why are you pushing yourself so hard? Remember that you're not only T Corporation's CEO but also my husband and the children's father. Can't you rest early for us?" "... Alright." Luke's heart softened when he saw that she was about to cry.
He hesitated for a while, then lay down next to her, hugged her tight, and draped the blanket over the two of them.
As he hugged her fragrant body, Luke could feel his stress melt away and each of the cells in his body relax.
He kissed her forehead and whispered, "Let’s rest."
Bianca's forehead was damp from Luke's kiss.
She looked at his slightly haggard face. Reaching out to touch his chin, she felt the sharp prick of some hair of his beard.
Bianca pouted, yawned, and said casually, "Your beard has been growing very fast recently. I remember shaving it for you only a few days ago, but it's already so thick. You're a workaholic, and you don't know how to groom yourself when you're focused on work. You look like a hobo now. I wonder why so many women are charmed by your appearance."
Luke smiled. "I do have a very convincing face."
Bianca pouted. She remembered being charmed by Luke's handsome looks when she was younger and glared at him. "That's how you managed to deceive me for so many years. I wonder how many innocent young girls have you deceived with this face of yours?"
She was troubled by the number of females who accidentally fell in love with Luke. Ever since they started dating each other, she had been fending off all the women who tried to snatch Luke away from her."
Luke combed her hair with his fingers and smiled indulgently. "I've never used my face to deceive anyone except for you. If possible, I'd like to deceive you for the rest of your life so you'll stay by my
side forever." "Hmph, what flowery words!"
Bianca felt warmth in her heart even though she was not willing to listen to those words.
However, she frowned when she thought of their current situation. "The situation surrounding the Galleria collapse is worsening by the day, Luke. Our PR department almost can't handle it anymore. Have you thought up a solution?" "Mm, you don't have to worry about that. The problem will be solved soon, and the culprits will get what they deserve!"
Luke's voice was very soft, but his eyes flashed with a hawk-like ferocity in the dark...
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 798- She Needs To Get More Money From Her Son
Meanwhile, in another mansion.
A gentle breeze stirred the crystal bead curtains that made a stark contrast with the golden furnishings.
The entire interior was luxuriously furnished with crystal decorations, furniture with golden frames, and all sorts of classical flower arrangements.
The mansion was Allison's private property.
She had received a large sum of money and a percentage of T Corporation's shares from Luke's inheritance. Allison had complained to Bianca that her share of the inheritance was too little, and she had even brought some reporters to Old Master Crawford to raise a ruckus.
Bianca had mercilessly driven her out, and Old Master Crawford had reprimanded her severely. He even said to the reporters that he would take back all the inheritance given to her if she continued to cause trouble.
Allison was helpless, but she did not hold any actual executive power. She was no match for Bianca, and even Old Master Crawford could easily crush her even though he had already retired for many years. She could only take her "measly" share of the inheritance and shut up.
A portion of the inheritance was spent on the purchase of the mansion, and the renovation cost several million dollars. That was her immovable property.
As for the rest of the money, she spent it as she pleased.
That amount of money was enough to last an ordinary person several lifetimes.
For the spendthrift Allison who had no means of income, she had almost squandered away the entire inheritance in a short two years. She was an extremely vain person, and she only bought luxury-brand clothing and accessories because she wanted to maintain an image in front of her friends.
A large room in the mansion was converted into a fully-equipped beauty salon.
Allison lay on the facial bed, served by two young women. They were twins; the elder sister was named Elsa, and the younger sister was Elise.
Elsa was slightly taller and had a pair of animated eyes. She was currently massaging Allison's neck.
The shorter girl was Elise, the younger sister. She had made a pot of tea for Allison and was currently peeling a tangerine. Then, she brought a sweet piece of fruit to Allison's lips.
Allison had met the twin sisters in the beauty salon she frequented.
Their massage skills were excellent, and they knew how to make Allison happy with flattery. That was why Allison had hired them as her personal beauticians in her mansion and offered them a high salary.
Elsa pampered her every day, while Elsie also doubled as her personal cook. Allison thought that the money spent on hiring them was worth it.
"Madam, your skin is getting more and more tender under our treatment. You look even better than both of us. How blessed you are! Are you enjoying the massage so far?" Elsa flattered Allison discreetly while giving her a massage,
Allison's eyes were closed as she thoroughly enjoyed the sensation. ' Mm, not bad. I always loved your massage, Elsa." "Let me introduce you to a beauty treatment method, Madam. I'm sure that you'll like it." "Oh, is that so? What treatment is it?" Allison was curious. Elsa seemed to be coming up with new treatment methods every day, and Allison was more than willing to try them.
Elsa smiled sweetly. She picked up a pink unique-looking ultrasonic massager and put it on Allison's face. Then, she pushed a switch, and the massager gently massaged Allison's face.
While Elsa massaged her face, she introduced the apparatus to Allison." Madam, this is the newest The Zeus VI. Just like Zeus is the king of the gods, this is the king of all beauty equipment. This ultrasonic massager can remove dead skin cells and promote cell growth so that your skin will always be as smooth as a baby. Most importantly, it can remove crow's feet wrinkles... You can see for yourself in the mirror once I'm done."
Allison thoroughly indulged in the delicate treatment process, though she did not feel that the massager was any different from the other massagers she had tried before. However, Elsa's explanation made her anticipate the results of the treatment.
Half an hour later, Elsa finished the massage. She washed Allison's face and applied beauty essence, moisturizer, and facial cream before handing her a hand mirror. "Do you see the results of the massager, Madam? I think that your skin has become more tender than before!" She said with a smile.
Allison looked carefully at her face in the mirror. Indeed, her face seemed fairer than before, and the crow's feet wrinkles at the corners of her eyes seemed to have faded.
She touched her face and exclaimed in surprise, "Indeed, this massager is much better than all the others. This is a good recommendation, Elsa. Use this massager on my face every day. I'll double your bonus this month!"
The twins glanced at each other and smiled.
They thought that the old woman was an idiot. There was no such miraculous massager in the world!
Elsa had applied hormone essence to Allison's face while massaging it. The effects of the hormone essence were indeed tremendous, and it could shrink pores and smoothen one's skin. However, the
side effects were drastic. If she stopped using it, her face would wrinkle and fester.
"Thank you, Madam. I borrowed this massager from a friend of mine. She's an expert inventor from overseas, and the Zeus VI is her latest invention. It costs about 150,000 dollars. This is the only one available for now, and it'll be put up for auction tomorrow. I'll have to return this to her soon..."
Allison became frantic when she heard that. She wanted the amazing treatment to continue.
"Tell your friend that I'll buy the massager from her now," she said generously.
Elsa could not stop grinning. "That's very generous of you, Madam. I'll call my friend now and tell her about it."
The ultrasonic massager was a product of dubious origin that cost less than a thousand dollars, but they managed to fleece the wealthy woman for 150,000 dollars. They were overjoyed by their little scam.
It was Elise's turn to speak. She took out a thick stack of receipts and handed it to Allison. "These are the expenditure records for last month. Please take a look, Madam."
Allison browsed through the records. The food ingredients, household goods, and other miscellaneous expenses totaled up to about sixty thousand dollars.
She widened her eyes and furrowed her brows in suspicion. "Why is it so much? How could you spend almost thirty thousand dollars on food ingredients alone?”
When she lived in Crawford Manor, the living expenses for so many family members and caretakers were only about twenty thousand dollars.
Elise answered calmly, "I've done my purchases based on your specifications, Madam. You wanted the finest ingredients and the highest quality household goods. Every expense is recorded, and you can check them. I won't lie to you."
Allison browsed through the receipts and found no problem, though she was quite reluctant to part with the money.
The money in her account was decreasing rapidly. If she wanted to continue her lavish lifestyle, she would have to ask for money from her son
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 800- We'll Get Even With Them
Maxine went to the study and noticed that her usually stern father was busy at work.
Her mother was also there, preparing a pot of tea.
"Dad, Mom."
Maxine greeted them softly, took the teacup from her mother’s hands, and placed it on her father's desk.
She turned around to face her mother and spoke sweetly, "Your tea-making skills are getting better, Mom. I could smell the tea leaves at the door. No wonder Dad always likes the tea you make for him. Isn't that so, Dad?"
Irving's stern expression did not change, but the corners of his lips eased up a little. "Mm," he replied.
"You really know how to tease me, my dear daughter."
Verona could not help but smile genuinely. She had always loved her precious daughter. "What do you want for dinner today, Maxine? There's a newly-opened five-star hotel in town, and the signature chef is quite skilled. I'll bring you there tonight." "Never mind, Mom. The chef at home is quite skilled too. It's the same if we have dinner at home," Maxine said.
Verona insisted, "Won't you get bored of eating at home? That won't do... Maxine, what's wrong with your complexion? Are you feeling unwell?" "I'm fine, Mom. I'm probably still adjusting to the local climate, and I didn't really sleep that well last night. I just need to rest more today,” Maxine said with a slightly morose tone of voice.
Verona sighed as she looked at her daughter. "Sigh, I told you that you shouldn't be traveling so soon after you got back to the country, and I'll arrange for an internship for you in the capital, but you don't listen and insist on going to A City. Now, you've made the trip in vain. I say, Irving, that cousin of yours isn't very reliable. She knows that our daughter wants to work in her son's company, but she can't even pull the strings for us. They'll eventually have to rely on us for a favor, and that's when we'll get even with them!"
Verona got angrier and angrier as she said that, and her voice became shrill.
Maxine’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that.
Her mother sounded extremely aggrieved. Of course, a lot of Verona's sentiments toward T Corporation could be attributed to Maxine's incessant complaints and grumblings after she had returned from A City.
Maxine had added a lot of exaggerated details while airing her grievances about how she was unfairly treated.
It was her fault that her parents did not have a good impression of the Crawford family, but now...
"It's not like that, Mom. Actually, it's partly my fault that I couldn't get into T Corporation too. I thought I'd surely get in because I'm from an overseas university, but I might have overestimated myself...
"I'm still inexperienced when it comes to working, and I flunked the interview because I had been too arrogant. This has nothing to do with Luke; he's only following the rules of his company. It's rare to find such an impartial individual in the workplace, and I quite admire his character.
Also, Aunt Allison and her family were very nice to me while I was in A City
Maxine bit her lip and tried to improve Luke's image. Then, she went into the main topic.
"Dad, you should have seen the accident at T Corporation's The Galleria, right? The incident has affected the Crawford family negatively, and Aunt Allison cries every day because of the endless troubles. I feel so sorry for her. Can you... please help their family?"
She looked at her father expectantly. Verona might be authoritative, but Irving was the one who had the last say. If she could get her father to understand the Crawford family's predicament, it should not be too difficult for him to help them.
Irving grunted coldly, and his stern demeanor made him seem intimidating.
"You're doing them a favor when you want to work in their company, but they didn't even give you a chance. If they can be so heartless, then we won't help them either! The incident is none of our business. You'd better keep your distance from them, Maxine!"
Verona held her daughter's hand and said contemptuously, "Maxine, have you forgotten how you couldn’t stop crying when you first came back from A City? I've never allowed you to suffer the slightest grievance, but they refused to help you outright. I thought that we should draw the line with them right there, but now they're using you to get help from us. That's nothing but wishful thinking!"
Maxine was getting flustered. She hugged her mother's elbow and said to her coyly, "But Mom, Aunt Allison and her family were nice to me. It's my fault that I failed the interview at T Corporation, and you shouldn't blame it on them. If Dad can help the Crawford family, then I think he should..."
Verona looked at her daughter suspiciously. "Has something gotten to you? I thought you hated the Crawford family since you came back from A City, but why are you trying to speak up for them now? Tell me, did the Crawford family promise you something?"
Maxine shook her head guiltily. "N... no... Mom, I thought that since Dad and Aunt Allison are cousins, we should help them if we can..." "Alright, that's enough. From now on, I don't want to hear anyone
mention the Crawford family! If they sincerely want help from us, then they should come to us themselves instead of asking you to speak on their behalf.
They haven't asked us for help, so why are you so worried? You're not a young girl anymore, Maxine. Stop acting so childish."
Irving frowned as he looked at his daughter. He decided to investigate what happened to his daughter while she was in A City.
"Yes, Dad." Maxine lowered her head as she faced her visibly unhappy father. She knew when to stop asking.
She had tried her best to ask for help on behalf of her Aunt Allison, but her parents seemed to be heavily prejudiced against the Crawford family. She was helpless beyond that, and all she could do now was to pray that T Corporation could overcome the challenges on its own.
Maxine’s heart tingled with excitement when she thought of Luke's divinely handsome face. However, she felt a twinge of annoyance when she was reminded that the man was already married...
