Mr. Peralta fell silent with embarrassment.

The two of them had strong auras. It was not his place to say a word.

Pierre walked into the lounge and ordered Mr. Peralta, “Go to my wine cabinet and bring a bottle of red wine here.”

Abel replied as soon as Pierre said, "Red wine won’t be enough. The alcohol content isn't high enough, Mr. Mallory."

Pierre frowned. Was this guy trying to make him drunk early in the morning?

However, Pierre had heard that Abel was Russian. Thus, he turned around and ordered Mr. Peralta, “Get a bottle of Martell cognac for me.”

“Yes, sir,” replied Mr. Peralta. He closed the door and went to prepare the liquor for them.

Pierre sat down on the sofa opposite Abel with a cold and haughty look on his face. “Mr. Abel, what can I do for you this time?”

The way Pierre talked to him was considered polite. Although he had no idea about this man’s identity and background, he must be capable enough since he was able to steal T Corporation’s bidding document

    Mrs. Laurel smiled and shook her head. “Of course not. Ms. Luca was the one who made the coffee. It’s good, right? I watched her make the coffee in the kitchen this morning. She was a professional.”“It’s good, but we’ve completed our work today. I’ll have a glass of juice too, just like Tina,” said Jason. That explained why the coffee had a rich taste and aroma. It was Luca who made the coffee.“Alright. Just a moment.” Mrs. Laurel turned around and returned to the kitchen to prepare juice for them. Tina sat on the sofa and asked Jason, “Mr. Doyle, should we ask Dr. Craw to come down?”She reckoned that Luca must be upstairs.“Dr. Craw must be busy now. Why don’t you go and ask her?” Jason could not be bothered, and he thought if Luca was still in love with Luke, she must be feeling bad after everything she did.“What if she’s in the midst of something?” Tina shook her head, afraid that she would disturb Luca.“Then just sit here quietly,” said Jason. He picked up the phone an

    Luca tore the report apart and closed her eyes with her hand on her forehead to calm herself down.There was not much time left. The inflammation of the wound was getting serious day after day. It would leave an ugly tunneling wound on her waist if it took any longer for her to look for the cure.However, she refused to ask for Abel’s help even if it would leave a scar on her.This man only knew how to make terms when talking with others. He would probably assign Luca on another mission if she went to look for him. Luca had already placed Luke and her in a difficult position. She had no idea what Luke and T Corporation would have to face next if Abel forced her to do something else. That was why she could only depend on herself. Luca pulled herself together. She picked up her phone, trying to find whether there were any laboratories available for rent in A City. She needed a laboratory with advanced facilities. There was indeed one once she searched the internet. Luca gave

  • Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle   Chapter 1963 Would Not Need His Help

    Luke thought the only explanation that made sense was Luca's experiment must be kept secret. The research she had been working on now was probably related to what was manipulating her.Luke tapped his index finger on the armrest of the wheelchair. He looked like he was deep in thought. Mrs. Laurel returned to the kitchen and continued her work without disturbing him. At night.Luca did not continue with her research as her equipment was not good enough. That was why she went downstairs to have dinner when Mrs. Laurel informed her that dinner was ready.Luke would certainly ask Mrs. Laurel to bring her dinner upstairs if Luca did not go downstairs to have dinner. Luca did not want to be given special treatment.Neither of them spoke a word when they were having dinner. Luca’s phone suddenly rang. She glanced at it, and after making sure that it was Amur who was calling her, she unconsciously turned to look in the direction where Luke was sitting. She said in a soft voice

    “Okay, I got this. Don’t worry.” Mrs. Laurel agreed to help her to take care of Luke. Looking after Luke was one of her duties too, and that was why she readily agreed with it.Luca was assured knowing that Mrs. Laurel would be taking care of Luke. Mrs. Laurel was better at taking care of someone, but Luke insisted on asking Luca to take care of him…Luca pushed Luke back to his bedroom after he finished bathing himself. Then, she helped him to dry his hair and took out a set of clean pajamas for him. She did not say a word the whole time. Luke did not say anything either. The two of them did not feel awkward despite the silence. Luca put the pajamas on the bed and left the room. She had finally completed her task to take care of Luke today.Mrs. Laurel had gotten off work at this hour. Luca left a pot of warm water in the living room. Only then did she make her way up the stairs. She received a message from Amur when she was back in her bedroom: [I’ve talked to the lab

  • Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle   Chapter 1965 What Was Luke Up To?

    Luca showed no surprise. Amur asked, “Was it someone Luke sent?” “Yes,” replied Luca. Luke would only send his men to track someone down for a purpose, and he would have made a move if it was someone else. As it was her, the person Luke sent merely waited until she got into the building before leaving. “How dare he ask someone to follow you?!” Amur frowned with disgust. Luke’s behavior was as annoying as Enoch’s when he was pestering Luca back then. “It’s okay.” Luca let out a sigh. Luke only wanted to know where she was.All this time, she had been observing. She realized that Luke was unable to forget Bianca, but he was interested in her at the same time.Otherwise, he would not have done this, which made him seem to be possessive over her. Still, could a man be in love with two women at the same time?“If he could send someone to follow you this time, he’ll do something even worse to you next time. Are you really letting him do this?” Amur asked. He wanted to know what L

    “They’re concerned about their interests. I’m working on another project now. If this project succeeds, they’ll still be able to keep their interests even if the investigation is still going on in Watson Biopharmaceuticals. That’s why I’m not in a hurry.” Luke knew it well. What mattered to them the most was not Dr. Albus’ research being stolen. It was what would happen next and if they could get any benefits from it. Louis understood it well. The investors were all like that. They were only concerned about their long-term interests.Louis let out a sigh of relief when he knew Luke had already settled everything. It was just that he did not announce it to the public. He was planning to leave the businesses in his workshop to another partner at first. Then, he would come over to help Luke to get through this crisis and put his work off until later. However, he had underestimated his elder brother’s capability. He did not expect the problems to be solved already…“Brother, can yo

  • Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle   Chapter 1967 Having Luca By His Side Was Enough For Him

    Louis was still worried even though Luke said so. He felt guilty looking at how relieved Luke was. Although the Crawford family had been training Luke to become the successor of the company since he was young, things were a lot easier for Louis. Luke was always studying when Louis was having fun or busy studying. Things were a lot easier for Louis, only because Luke had taken the wheel in front of him. That was why his childhood was a lot happier than Luke’s.Even though there was only one successor, they were in the same family. Hence, other siblings in the family would have to help their family business in times of need even if they did not take over the company. There were barely any exceptions.However, he was the exception.Louis was able to live an easy life because of Luke. Luke even supported him when he decided to venture out.If it had not been for Luke, Louis would have continued to work in T Corporation, doing something he was not interested in. Luke was surro

    The maid left work after waiting for him to finish his bath.Luke continued to sit in front of the office table and was settling his documents. The maid’s room was not closed because he wanted to hear even the smallest sound from outside. However, Luca never came back…Only when it was one in the morning did he hear some noises from outside. It was the sound of a door opening and closing…Even though it was intentionally done so that there would not be much noise, Luke still heard it. ‘Luca only came back now…’Luke had a dark expression but did not go out. 'Is she that busy?'Hearing the sound in the living room made Luke place his documents down. He sat there, not moving an inch.Luca switched on the lights in the living room and noticed that the lights in the maid’s room were still on…She frowned. She could see that the lights were on because he did not close the door. However, Luke usually closed the door.Luca changed her shoes and thought for a moment but did not c

    The volunteer did not mind. As long as it meant he could recover, he was willing to endure any pain. “It's okay. I can handle it.”Luca nodded.The door to the vehicle opened, and a man stepped inside. Due to the lack of sterilization, he did not dare approach the inner part of the vehicle. Instead, he placed several bottles of saline on the outside.“This is the saline that Mr. Shanks prepared. He asked you to inject it when you can,” the man relayed Shanks' message.“Got it.” Luca reached out to take the bottles. After thoroughly disinfecting them, she brought them inside.It was more complicated than being in a hospital.Since the volunteer's body was still weak. They had to maintain as sterile an environment as possible.However, it still fell short of the ICU's standard.Luca stayed with the volunteer until evening. Gerald stood outside the medical vehicle and called, “Ms. Craw, it's time for dinner.”Luca took off her protective gear and stepped outside.“Ms. Craw, di

    “Don’t worry, it won’t affect you in the slightest,” said Abel.The villa was bought under Shanks’ name.So while it appeared to be the Island of Despair’s property, it was, in fact, Shanks’ personal asset.Abel shot a glance at his subordinates, who stood beside him. Without hesitation, they grabbed the doctor and hauled him away.As Hera watched the scene unfold, she felt a sudden pang of unease. She was well aware of Abel's methods. Punishment was never off the table. However, seeing the way things were unfolding, Hera could not shake the feeling that Abel might actually take the doctor’s life.Still, they were in A City, a country with strict laws. Would Abel really go that far?As Abel turned to leave, Hera said almost nervously, “Darling…”“I have some matters to take care of. Be good and stay here. Don’t wander around, okay?” Abel’s mood was apparently lifted by the successful surgery. His voice was unexpectedly gentle.Hera’s unease only deepened. She grabbed the slee

    All three of them stepped out of the vehicle.Hera realized that the surgery might already be over and could not wait to hear the results.Abel, equally eager, immediately asked as soon as he saw them, “Is the surgery finished?”“Yes, the surgery was successful. The transplant was completed, and all the nerves we could connect have been repaired. Now, it’s up to the follow-up treatment,” answered Shanks.The doctor who had been kicked out earlier stared in disbelief.They actually succeeded in the transplant? How was that even possible?“Great, fantastic!” Abel let out a sigh of relief before bursting into laughter.What had seemed impossible in modern medicine had achieved a different outcome in Shanks’ hands.Unlike others who might celebrate the medical breakthrough, Abel’s joy came from a more personal place—Kassy would soon return to his side. His delight was unmistakable.“T-This can’t be!” muttered the dismissed doctor, who was still in shock. “A surgery this revoluti

  • Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle   Chapter 3401 What Kind Of People Are They

    After returning to her room, Luca told Luke about the surgery that day.She explained that she had not been able to participate in the operation and was uncertain if Abel would prevent her from being involved in the future. If she was not allowed to take part, she might lose her excuse to stay here. Also, she would not be able to help with what was to come.Luke replied to her message quickly, assuring her that everything was already planned out and she did not need to worry.Luca frowned slightly as she read his message. She wanted to ask about his plan but hesitated for a moment and decided against it. Knowing too much about Luke's men might backfire.Luca deleted their chat history but soon received another message from him.He told her that T Corporation had successfully won the bid and that he had already found someone to replace Lucius’ role.Luca let out a sigh of relief. Finding a replacement for Lucius meant that he was out of danger for now. The worry that had been we

    However, Abel was not fooled by her words.He asked again, “Who are you looking for?”“Oh, I'm looking for Gerald. I've noticed that most people are here, but Gerald is missing, so I was just curious,” Hera replied honestly, knowing that Abel was naturally suspicious.“I’m starting to feel like you’ve become quite close with Gerald recently,” Abel asked suspiciously.Hera froze for a moment, then laughed and explained, “I often ask him to help with little things. He might not have many qualities, but he’s pretty diligent.”Abel did not respond right away, as though he was considering her words carefully.Hera lowered her voice and teased, “What's the matter? Are you jealous?”Before he could answer, she quickly added, “You’re so outstanding. How could I ever be interested in some ordinary man?”As soon as she said that, a flicker of unease crossed her mind.Abel was far superior to Lucius in looks and wealth. However, she seemed to be more drawn to Lucius.Despite her actions

    For Shanks, no matter how skilled the two ophthalmologists were, they could not compare to Luca. The key was their smooth coordination. They were used to working together. If it were other doctors, they would probably start asking questions once they entered the operating room, making it impossible for Shanks to focus and perform the surgery calmly.Shanks believed this was a groundbreaking procedure, not just another teaching surgery for ophthalmologists.Abel understood Shanks’ concerns, but he still insisted, “They’re not just any doctors. They’ve signed agreements, and they won’t interrupt you with questions during the surgery. They’ll cooperate fully.”As Luca listened to Abel, she realized what he was really worried about. Besides the risk of the surgery failing, he was not confident in her.This surgery was important, and Abel was worried she might sabotage it in the operating room.Shanks furrowed his brows and looked at Luca.Luca gave him a faint smile. Whether or not

    As Gerald shook his head furiously, it was not difficult for Luca to figure out what was going on.She glanced at Hera's irritation and figured it all stemmed from Luke being reassigned. Not being able to see him was clearly driving her to act like this.Luca secretly let out a sigh. They said women were the cause of trouble, but honestly, men could just be the same.Even with Luke disguised as an ordinary man, his cold and commanding air still captivated Hera.She glanced at the bowl nearby. The food Gerald brought Hera was barely touched.It seemed like she was so consumed with thoughts of Luke that she had lost her appetite...Luca’s expression remained unchanged. She was long accustomed to keeping her emotions in check around others.“Ms. Sanchez, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not close with Mr. Lucius, so I don’t have his contact information.” Luca kept her face impassive.“You’re lying!” Hera narrowed her eyes suspiciously. “You’re so close to him. How could you not have it?”

    As soon as Luca returned to her bedroom after dinner, she received a video call request from the kids.It had been a long time since she last saw them. When she saw the call request, she locked the door, put on her headphones, and immediately answered.“Ms. Luca!” As soon as the call connected, the faces of all three kids appeared on the phone screen.“Sweethearts!” Luca blew them a kiss.“Ms. Luca, we miss you so much!” Tommy was the first to express how much they missed Luca.Luca's heart stirred with waves of longing when she heard them. She had been so busy recently, hoping to finish everything here quickly so that she and Luke could reunite with the kids. That was why she had not contacted them much.Plus, with Old Master Crawford taking care of them, she felt at ease.Now that Luca saw the faces of the three kids, her longing for them instantly surged and overwhelmed her.Her eyes reddened. “I miss you all so much too.”Rainie, always the thoughtful one, noticed her em

    The men in the room were wincing in pain, but when they heard Gerald’s words, they were so furious they almost wanted to lash out at him. However, all their strength had been sapped by the excruciating pain, so they could only groan helplessly.As Shanks made his way upstairs, he paused halfway up the staircase and asked, “Is Luca cooking?”Gerald glanced at the kitchen and replied, “Yes, Mr. Shanks. It’s their fault. Ms. Craw was delayed in making dinner because of them.”Shanks' expression remained unchanged as he simply said, “Let me know when it's ready.”“Yes,” answered Gerald.After Shanks went upstairs, Gerald hesitated for a moment but decided to help the men to their feet, placing them one by one on the couch or chairs. As they slouched, groaning in pain, Gerald shook his head. “Do you guys now understand what happens when you mess with the wrong woman, especially Ms. Craw?”One of the men winced and asked, “Why did she have to be so brutal when throwing down?”“She
