Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1086

"What are you doing?" Verona did not understand why her husband was apologizing.

To her, it was not a serious matter. If Luke really pursued the matter, the worst-case scenario would be to go to court. They most definitely could afford to hire a famous lawyer.

"Shut up!" Irving felt ashamed. Originally, he thought it would be great to build a relationship with the Crawford family, but he did not expect that this was all plotted by his own daughter from beginning to end. As her father, he ended up being used by her!

Verona wanted to express her dissatisfaction, but seeing that Irving’s expression had turned ugly, she held herself back. She glared at Luke, stood up, and took Maxine's hand. "Let's go."

"Mom..." Maxine did not want to leave, but she had no choice considering how awkward the situation was.

"Haven’t you embarrassed us enough?" Irving also wanted to leave. He had lost all his dignity and stared at her fiercely.

‘Spiking someone’s drink and taking an indecent photo just to slander them?! What kind of women would do such things?! How shameful!’

Moreover, if Luke was not exaggerating, the drug's origin was unknown.

After being glared at, Maxine stood up reluctantly. Her tears were still falling and she looked pitiful, but she could not gain any sympathy points from Luke. The hard work she had put in over the past few months was in vain. She felt somewhat hesitant to accept this.

Verona took her daughter away. Irving apologized to Luke again and then left with his wife and daughter.

When they got to the entrance, Luke slowly said, "Miss Douglas, you should think about how to explain where the drug came from. The police have deployed a team to look into this drug and are preparing to make it a high-priority investigation."

He did not experience any side effects from this drug, but it was a new type of drug and since the police knew about it, it was impossible for them to ignore it.

Maxine felt as though a thunderbolt had struck her head. If the police investigated this and found that she was involved, she would be in deep trouble.

Even though she was unwilling, Maxine immediately hurried to leave.

Seeing that the farce was finally over, Old Master Crawford breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at his grandson. He ranted, "Why didn't you bring this report out sooner?"

"The report came out yesterday," Luke said.

Old Master Crawford asked curiously, "What you said is true?"

"Yeah." Luke picked Blanche up, put him on the floor, and touched his head. He said, "I told you that there’s nothing to worry about, right?"

Blanche was relieved to know that his dad had not wronged Mommy. He nodded and said with a thumbs up, "You’re awesome!"

Luke touched his head. ‘If I’m awesome, Maxine wouldn’t have been able to take advantage of me.’

He stood up, took his son's hand, and said, "Let's go. You need to do your homework."

"Okay, Daddy." Blanche nodded obediently as the duo went upstairs together.

Old Master Crawford was still sitting on the sofa, staring at the black folder.

‘Maxine is just a woman, and the Douglas family are also proper businesspeople. I have never heard about them getting involved in the underworld. How did she get this kind of drug?’
