Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1083

Luke stared daggers at her as soon as she said that.

Maxine paused and kept the rest of what she wanted to say to herself. His gaze was spine-chilling. It reminded her of a demon from hell that was capable of silently killing anyone.

She felt scared, but she had no regrets.

The night before, she found the opportunity to spike Luke's wine with the drug that Shanks gave her. Things went well. After he drank it, he passed out.

Maxine then sent him to the hotel, took the photo that Abel requested, and kept a copy for herself.

She deliberately did it so that Luke would get the wrong impression. However, she did not expect that when he woke up the next day, he did not react and even treated her as though she was invisible.

Maxine was beyond furious, so she came to Old Master Crawford in hopes that he would be on her side.

Susan was just enjoying the drama. When she saw that Maxine was so scared that she immediately kept quiet after being stared at by Luke, Susan said mockingly, "Luke, how could you do something like this? As part of the Crawford family, I need to say something. We’re still unsure if Bianca is alive yet you did such a thing to this poor girl. What are you going to do?"

"Mom!" Louis tugged at her sleeve.

Susan did not want Luke to marry Maxine. However, when she was presented with such a good opportunity to ridicule Luke, she naturally would not let it go.

She glared at her son, shook him off, and said, "You can consider getting married, but seeing that we have yet to hear anything about Bianca, you won’t be able to get a divorce just yet. If you can’t get divorced, it won’t be an easy task handling the Douglas family."

"Are you done talking?!" Old Master Crawford said and felt disgusted with Susan from the bottom of his heart.

Susan picked on her nails as she said, "I'm just laying out the facts. Luke's mother is in jail. As his elder, I have the responsibility to give him advice! Else, our family might be the center of gossip!"

"Shut up!" Old Master Crawford could not stand it any longer and yelled at Susan.

"Maxine, what do you want? I’ll redress the balance for you!" He looked at the crying woman.

Although he was not a fan of Maxine, he knew that Luke was in the wrong this time. On top of that, the Douglas family was powerful. Old Master Crawford had to be fair and just to avoid conflict from happening.

Maxine looked at Luke timidly and deliberately acted like she was at a loss.

"Luke, don't deny that we—"

"It’s my body, I would know if I had done it." Luke finished speaking and stood up. "Miss Douglas, if you insist that we slept together, please show some evidence."

"Isn’t that photo enough?" Maxine blushed and stood her ground. That photo was enough to prove that they were together that night. She had even put in the effort to leave some love marks.

"All it proves is that we shared a bed," Luke said in disgust. He was certain that he had not done anything that night.

"You..." Maxine did not expect him to say that.

"You wouldn't be able to take a photo if I were conscious." Luke remembered that he had passed out after drinking just a glass of wine.

He could hold his liquor fairly well, so the only explanation was that Maxine had spiked the wine.

"You weren’t sober, that's why you thought that I was Bianca and did those things. Luke, I don't need you to take responsibility, but it’s not fair that you’re blaming everything on me. You’re hurting me." Maxine acted like a victim.
