Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle Chapter 1689 Luca, Come In
Luca smiled as she shook her head. It seemed like she had been receiving too much special treatment from Luke. She was getting more and more discontented. It was not like she was related to him. Why should he wait for her?Luca carried the two folders and switched off the lights when she walked out of the office. After she turned around and glanced at the dark office, she closed the door and headed to the elevator. Luke was waiting for the elevator. Luca pondered over it. No one would use the executive elevator, so the elevator should be on this floor. Why was he not in the elevator yet?Luca looked at the man's figure as her heart raced uncontrollably. She pulled her gaze away and headed to the elevator for employees. Luke saw her coming over her and pressed the elevator button.The doors slowly opened. Luca, who had her back facing him, heard the sound too. She did not turn around. Luke walked into the elevator and looked at Luca, who was still waiting for the elevator.

“It’s alright. Let me take the maid’s room,” said Luke. He unbuttoned the two buttons on his shirt, pulled off his tie, and headed to the maid’s room.It seemed like he was looking for clothes to change into. Luca felt helpless when he rejected her offer. She had no choice but to take off the coat. Something came into her mind, and she habitually reached her hand into the coat's pocket to check if anything was in it. It was a habit of hers. Sometimes, Luke used to put little things in his coat. For example, a lighter or some other things. Hence, she made it a habit to check his pockets before she put them in the washing machine so that the things would not get ruined after soaking in water. Luke held another clean shirt and walked out of the room. He happened to see what she was doing. Their eyes met. Luca was afraid that he might misunderstand her, so she explained immediately, “Mr. Crawford, I just wanted to check if there was anything in your pocket. If there was nothing in
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle Chapter 1691 It’s Getting Too Much
Luca listened to Luke's simple explanation, but she had a feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed. A ten percent drop in the stock price… The wealth of Johnston Corporation had disappeared into thin air after a second in the market. Percy must have something to do with this. After all, he was not an obedient person. However, he obeyed the Mallory family’s elders to be together with the daughter of the Johnston family. He must be up to something.Luca had a suspicion that Johnston Corporation's share prices would not only drop by ten percent. They would probably continue to fall today and tomorrow. "What's on your mind?" Luke looked at how serious Luca was and deliberately interrupted her by asking a question.Luca snapped back to her senses and said, “If the Johnston family gets into trouble, will the Mallory family sever their ties with them immediately?” “The marriage of convenience between the Mallory and Johnston families is for the sake of their benefits. B
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle Chapter 1692 The Johnston Family Shouldn't Have Messed With You
“It’s hard to eliminate the Johnston family not because of their family business or deep pockets. It’s because of their family history and political background in A City. Besides, no matter how abundant their capital is, it’ll only lead to a downfall under the guidance of the person in charge now. Their company has low liquidity. A 20 percent drop means that they’ve lost quite a large amount of money. They won’t be able to take it for much longer.” Luke analyzed."Indeed." Percy nodded and changed to another sitting position. He leaned on the couch comfortably. "Now, all we have to do is to wait for them to seek Old Master Mallory's help. Judging from his character, I'll be able to take action soon." “It’s easy for you to get rid of the Johnston family due to the current situation. But getting Nina back will be hard.” Luke reminded him.Everything that Percy did was never for the sake of the Mallory family; it was for him and Nina.However, he chose not to tell anyone and did ever

Mr. Bennet made a guess. "They probably can't reach Master Percy, so that's why they came here."Old Master Mallory frowned and said, “What troubles are they bringing here? How am I supposed to help them solve the problem? What can I do for them? Well, I guess Percy must have slipped away.”Old Master Mallory did not stand up for them when the Johnston family first got into trouble. It was because he thought the Johnston family would be capable enough to survive the crisis this time, but he did not expect that they would come looking for him the next day. It seemed like what Percy said about the Johnston family was true. They were not as powerful as they expected. Mr. Bennet saw that the old master was getting impatient and asked, “Old Master Mallory, should we let them in?”“They’re already at the entrance. How can I not let them in? Just let them in,” said Old Master Mallory.Mr. Bennet went to open the door and led the Johnston family to the garden.The people who came toda
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle Chapter 1694 Looking For Percy
Old Master Mallory could not help but laugh when he looked at how desperate they were to use the Mallory family’s name to solve their current crisis. He took a sip of the tea and let out a sigh. He remained silent for a long time. Madison and her father exchanged looks at each other. She then said in a sweet voice, "Grandpa, I really like Percy very much. So, I'm asking for your permission to let us get married earlier. After the wedding, I'll try my best to become a good wife for Percy. I’ll help Mallory Corporation penetrate the global market.”Old Master Mallory placed his teacup back on the saucer. He understood how desperate they were.If it were the Johnston family in the old days, then he would certainly agree to it on behalf of Percy, but things were different now. He put on a serious expression and looked at the father and daughter. He said, "I don't think it's the right time now. It'd be better if the Johnston family can focus on solving the problem at hand. After that, w
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle Chapter 1695 Avoiding Any Unnecessary Misunderstandings
Luca did not think that the cleaning lady had any intention of buying spoiled ingredients to deceive her. The cleaning lady nodded while she listened to her. She could not help but secretly exclaim how considerate Luca was.After all, she would have to buy many ingredients to make hotpot. If she came here to buy the ingredients alone, it would be a problem for her to carry everything back to the apartment although it was not far away from here. The cleaning lady pushed the trolley and asked, “Ms. Craw, how many people are you inviting over to have hotpot?”“It’s just me,” said Luca. “Huh?” The cleaning lady thought she heard it wrongly.Luca knew why she was surprised, so she explained, "I'm suddenly craving for it, but I don't like the commercial flavor of hotpot sold outside. So, I plan to cook it at home." "Okay." The cleaning lady nodded. She had no idea what the young people today had in their minds. Luca walked in front while the cleaning lady pushed the trolley behi

It was noontime. Luca finally finished translating the contents of one of the folders. She glanced at the time. It was almost time to prepare the hotpot. She walked out of the bedroom. Nina was sitting on the couch watching TV. She was afraid that she would disturb Luca, so she had turned the TV volume down to the point where she could barely hear anything. “Are you done?” Nina smiled when she saw Luca walk out of the room.“I’ve just finished part of my work. I’m going to prepare the hotpot now,” replied Luca. Then, she headed to the kitchen.Making a hotpot was not as complicated as making proper meals. She only had to season the soup base and clean the ingredients. That was all she had to do.Nina followed her into the kitchen. “Let me help you.”“It’s alright. Just wait for the food,” Luca said as she opened the fridge and took the ingredients out.“You’re already treating me to hotpot. How could I just eat without helping? But I’m pretty bad at cooking too. Don’t expect m

“As long as he stays out of your sight, I won’t make a move,” said Ray.If Gordan were not one of Luke’s pals, he would have been long gone.Anyone who dared to mess with someone Ray cherished would not be let off easily. The only reason Gordan was still breathing was thanks to Luke.“Alright, Ray. Just let it go. I’ve moved on and started a new life. Plus, I’m studying at Capital University. We have mutual friends, so running into him is inevitable. If that happens, we’ll just be strangers. There’s no need to step in for me or act impulsively.” Just as Vivian finished speaking, the doorbell rang.“Is it the clothes delivery?” asked Ray.“No, while you were talking with Mr. Crawford, I asked someone to buy some medicinal cream. The ones here work better than the ones in Russia. A little massage with it should help you heal faster,” Vivian said, grabbing a mask and hat before heading to the door.“Miss, is the boss alright?” asked one of Ray’s subordinates.“He’s fine. Did you ge

When Ray heard that there was a 90% chance of success, he could not help but ask, “Can you walk me through your plan?”“The prison where Kassy is being held actually has an underground passage. I’ve already spoken with the prison officials, and we can use that passage to transport her out. It connects to the sewage system, which leads directly to another detention facility. "The only catch is that this facility’s underground pipes don’t connect to the outside world, so the remaining 10% risk lies in moving Kassy onto the main road and securing her at the new location.“This whole operation can be done without anyone noticing, which is why I’m confident it’ll work.” As Luke explained, he pulled out a detailed map of the sewer system. “Here’s the layout I had someone retrieve. This is the starting point, and this is the destination. If we take this route, we can move Kassy without alerting Abel’s people.”Abel’s men were keeping a constant watch outside the prison now. That was prec
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle Chapter 3465 Luke Sees Right Through His Little Act
Luke had no idea what kind of mindset the person who poisoned Vivian had. However, he found Gordan’s current behavior quite intriguing.“Luke, what’s with that look?” Gordan felt uneasy under his gaze.“You seem pretty concerned about Vivian,” Luke leaned back on the couch and said thoughtfully.Gordan froze for a moment before laughing it off. “What? No way! Why would I care about her? Come on, Luke, don’t say stuff like that. If she hears it, she might start getting ideas.”Luke could not be bothered to expose his act and got straight to the point. “Why are you here?”“Speaking of that, I almost got sidetracked by that woman.” Gordan quickly pulled out his phone, grimacing. “Man, Ray really didn’t hold back. I need to get some treatment for these bruises later.”Luke took the phone and tried to unlock it. It needed a passcode. He handed it back. “Unlock it.”“All set, boss.” Gordan unlocked the phone and went back to pressing an ice pack against his face.Luke scanned the scr

It was the sound of a body slamming onto the ground.Gordan’s furious curses rang out. “Damn it! You're really going all out, huh? Do you think I'm scared of you?”Another loud thud followed.Vivian frowned. What the hell were they doing? Were they really going to fight until one of them won?Both of them were skilled fighters. If they kept this up, neither would walk away unscathed.“Enough!” shouted Vivian.The two men locked in the fight froze for a moment.“Vivian, stay out of this. I’m beating him to a pulp today,” growled Ray, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He was not in great shape, but neither was Gordan.“Ray, I don’t want to see him,” said Vivian. She did not want Ray fighting him. It was not to protect Gordan but because she did not want Ray getting hurt.Also, she definitely did not want Gordan to see her like this. She could already picture his smug face, his sarcastic remarks and his gloating.“Fine. If you don’t want to see him, I’ll just beat

After returning to the hotel from the hospital, Vivian felt much better.To her, the fact that Ray had taken her to the hospital meant there was hope for the future, which lifted her spirits. She picked up an apple from the fruit platter the hotel had provided and took a bite.“Ray, this apple is really good. Want to try one?” asked Vivian.Ray shook his head. “You go ahead. By the way, can I take a look at the luggage you brought from Russia?”Vivian nodded. “I only hung up my clothes. Everything else is still in the suitcase. You can just take the things out.”Ray walked into the bedroom, pulled out her suitcase, and opened it. Inside were just books and a few other small items, nothing unusual.“You didn't bring any food with you?” asked Ray.“I haven’t really been in the mood, but the food here is way better than Russian food, so I didn't feel the need to bring anything.” Vivian’s tone was lighthearted now that she was in a better mood.“That's true.” Ray agreed, then asked

Ray's tone turned serious. “Alright, I'll make the arrangements immediately. Dr. Craw, once the toxicology report is out, we’ll still need your help.”“For toxicology cases like this, I recommend combining both modern medicine and traditional herbal medicine. Don’t worry, if I can help, I definitely will,” Luca assured him.“Alright, thank you.” Ray expressed his gratitude and ended the call before updating Luke on the situation.Luke reassured him, saying, “If Vivian was really poisoned, don’t worry. Previously, Luca discovered that her biological mother had been poisoned with a slow-acting toxin. She prescribed herbal medicine and used purely traditional herbal medicine to detoxify her. It didn’t take long for all the toxins to be expelled, and her health fully recovered. So, rest assured. If it’s something she can fix, she’ll do everything she can.“Besides, once we identify the exact problem, the doctors will be able to step in and help, right?”“Yes. Thank you both in advance

Gerald walked over. “Ms. Sanchez, what's wrong?”He was eager to get back upstairs and stash his cigarettes before someone noticed and took them.Hera yanked open his bag, glanced at the cigarette brand, and scoffed. “I thought it was some expensive brand. But it's just this? And you’re acting all deferential to her over this?”Gerald was rendered speechless. “I knew Ms. Craw was going out, so I asked her to bring these back for me. This is the brand I’m used to. Maybe it’s not expensive to you, but for me, it’s what I can afford.”Realizing she had misspoken, Hera felt a bit awkward. She quickly changed the topic. “Still, is a pack of cigarettes really worth you being so grateful to Luca? How much could it have cost?”“It’s not about the money,” replied Gerald. “It's just a nice surprise. I never expected to get anything out of helping Ms. Craw, and this kind of unexpected gift has nothing to do with the price. Besides, I'm not being overly grateful. I'm just happy.”He was ba

Luca’s lips were already swollen and flushed from Luke's kisses.That deep shade of red, reflected in Luke’s eyes, was utterly captivating. It tugged at his nerves, stirring an uncontrollable desire within him.At that moment, he had only one thought, and it was to completely lose himself in her.…The two of them stepped out of the bedroom.Vivian quickly turned her back and greeted Luke when he saw him coming out, “Hello, Mr. Crawford.”“Vivian, don’t worry. Everything will get better,” replied Luke.Vivian simply hummed in response.Ray gave them a grateful nod as Luke took Luca’s hand and led her away.It was only after hearing the door close that Vivian finally turned back around.Ray glanced at her and said, “Vivian, they’re your friends. You don’t have to act this way around them. They won’t judge you.”“I know they won’t…” Vivian let out a soft sigh. “I just feel like I look terrifying right now. I didn’t want to scare them, so I avoided facing them directly. But it’

“I once treated someone who had been slowly poisoned over a long period of time. Their pulse was similar to Vivian’s. Given that your family has good genetics, yet Vivian is different from the rest of you, and her skin improved after leaving her original environment, all of this confirms my suspicion.“Could it be that someone in your family has been poisoning Vivian? That would explain why her skin ended up like this.”“If she really has been poisoned, then would staying away from that environment or identifying the person responsible help her get better?” asked Ray.Luca shook her head.“The poison I’ve encountered before was a slow-acting toxin that kept the victim’s skin dark. I don’t know exactly what it was, but long-term exposure to any poison has an effect on the body. It's just a suspicion now. I need to consult someone I know. And honestly, I can’t be sure what’s really causing Vivian’s condition.“Is her skin deteriorating so quickly because she was poisoned once more a
