Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1068

Socialite B rubbed his chin. After his friend's reminder, he realized that the woman looked quite familiar. "That's true. Her side profile does indeed look like that woman. Which family is she from?"

When he said that, Maxine happened to turn around and look at them.

Socialite A shook his head. "I don't know, but the similarities end there. The front profile isn't that similar."

"Yeah, that's right. Let's go in." Socialite B nodded, and the two men went inside.

Each guest was assigned a seat, which was written on the invitation card.

Maxine glanced at her table number on the invitation card and walked into the hall confidently. Tonight, she would successfully captivate Luke.

The Douglases were not very influential in A City, but they were quite famous in the entire country, so her table was at the front.

After Maxine sat down on her appointed seat, she glanced at the tag on the seat next to her. The seat belonged to the Crawford family.

'It's Luke!'

Maxine could not hold back her excitement. She did not expect to be so lucky to sit next to Luke.

She was served a glass of red wine. She took a sip to calm herself down.

The guests continued to enter the hall. Many people looked at Maxine in her seat and realized that she was from the Douglas family.

They knew who the Douglases were, even though they did not have any businesses in A City.

The socialites who were talking about Maxine earlier also noticed her. "So that's her."

"I've heard that Capital Corp is one of the biggest companies in the country. They're related to the Crawfords too." Socialite B was very well-informed.

"How are they related?" The other people did not understand.

"They're relatives. I've heard that Mr. Crawford's mother has blood relations with the Douglases," Socialite B said.

Everyone fell silent when Allison was mentioned. The newspapers had reported extensively on how Luke had sent his own mother to jail.

However, no one dared to say that Luke did the wrong thing. After all, the evidence was undeniable.

"So that's the case…" Socialite A said, "but I wouldn't have expected that they're related. I haven't heard Capital Corp helping T Corporation in any of the crises they faced. Apparently, Mr. Crawford had gotten Ms. Douglas arrested too."

"Who knows? No one from the Douglases seems to care that Allison Tanner is in jail now. I guess we shouldn't probe into their family matters. I still wonder who could have abducted Mr. Crawford's wife though, the police haven't managed to find anything," Socialite B said and sighed.

"Mr. Crawford is here." Socialite A patted his friend's shoulder.

Everyone knew that two things were taboo to Luke Crawford. The first was Bianca Rayne, his missing wife, and the second was his children.

Earlier, Rainie's classmate had made fun of her because her mother had gone missing. When Luke knew about it, he instantly took action on that child's parents.

Their family business was declared bankrupt two days later.

After that, no one dared to mention Bianca's name in front of him in case they offended him.

Luke walked toward his appointed seat. Maxine had been listening to the conversations around her. When she heard someone say that Luke was coming, she turned her head to him and smiled gently.

Luke stopped walking when he saw Maxine. Three seconds later, he continued walking.
