Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1015

Vivian, standing behind the door, felt dejected when she heard Gordan's room door close.

She hoped that Gordan would care for her, even just a little bit…

There were no sounds beyond the door. The sound insulation between the rooms of the presidential suite was great. She could not hear what was happening in the other room.

…

By the next day, the news that Luke had enlisted Gordan's help had spread in the Crawford family.

Allison also knew about it.

She did not know who Gordan was, but she knew that he was a very capable investigator!

Gordan was a notorious figure in the international scene. If he helped Luke, he would bring unwanted trouble for her!

Also, she was running out of money. She hoped that the incident would soon blow over so that she could sell those antiques.

The more she thought about it, the more flustered she got. She drove to Bianca's office to find her.

The front desk assistant instantly gave Bianca a call on the internal line when she saw the arrogant and noble lady. "Ms. Rayne, there's a woman who wants to see you. She says that she is your mother-in-law."

'Allison Tanner?'

Bianca was surprised. Why would she look for her at her office?

"Bring her in." She said. Then, she stood outside her office to wait for her.

Allison was not satisfied that Bianca did not come and escort her in. She thought that Bianca was rude as she followed the assistant. While she walked, she looked around her and thought that Bianca's company was so much smaller than T Corporation.

She had been wondering if Bianca was capable of starting her own company, but it turned out that Bianca was only embarrassing herself.

When Allison saw Bianca standing there, she spoke imperiously like a queen, "Why didn't you come and meet me at the entrance?"

"This way please, Madam," Bianca said. She was quite calm when facing Allison's arrogance.

Allison grunted coldly and went into Bianca's office.

Bianca asked the assistant to bring a cup of coffee, then closed the door.

When Allison heard the door close, she instantly interrogated Bianca, "How could you be so silly?"

Bianca was confused. She looked at her and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Allison stared daggers at her. "I'm talking about the break-in at Crawford Manor! How could you ask that kind of person to help with the investigation?"

Bianca was silent. Apparently, Allison knew that Gordan was involved.

The people of the Crawford family should know Gordan's capabilities. He was the one who had helped Luke in the corruption case. She did not understand why Allison had such a strong reaction.

"Are you mute?" Allison was furious seeing that Bianca did not say anything.

Allison was shocked by Luke's sudden appearance and glared at Bianca. "Did you just tattle on me?"

Bianca massaged her temples. "Madam, this place is a half-hour car ride from T Corporation."

She could not predict the future, so she would not have been able to inform Luke half an hour ago. Moreover, Luke did not tell her that he was coming.

Allison stood there in confusion. She had to retract her hand when faced with her son's cold glare.

"Why did you come?" Bianca asked Luke.

Luke did not answer but instead went next to her and faced his mother. "I've heard what you said earlier. You're not satisfied with Gordan's character, and you think that I've made the wrong decision in involving him."

"In any case, he's not a good person…" Allison's fury receded when she looked at him.

She went to Bianca's company to look for her so she did not have to face Luke, but she could not manage to avoid him anyway.

"He saved me, so I have no reason to doubt his allegiance. If you have some other means of investigating the incident, I won't stop you, but don't disrupt what I'm doing." Luke did not give his mother any opportunity to retort.

He was telling her to mind her own business.

"I'm your mother!" Allison reminded her. She was not comfortable with what Luke had told her.

"Familial relations don't matter in an incident as serious as this. Is there anything else you want to say, Madam Tanner?" Luke would usually call her "Mother," but he had changed to another appellation.

He was quite unhappy with Allison's behavior. He was tasked with the investigation, yet Allison had deliberately avoided him and came to look for Bianca. He could tell that she was purposely finding fault.
