Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1396

From the tone of his voice, Luca could tell that Abel was up to some mischief.

Calmly, she told Abel about how she had moved to T Corporation, and Luke had installed a surveillance camera in her office to monitor her.

Abel laughed brazenly when he heard that.

Luca did not say anything. Luke was already wary of the influence of the Island of Despair on his life, yet Abel did not seem worried at all.

Abel finally stopped laughing half a minute later. "It seems that Luke is more and more interested in you." His tone was shilling.

Luca's heart skipped a beat as though Abel's words were a stark reminder of her situation.

Luke had never stopped suspecting her identity ever since she returned to A City. His latest act of installing a surveillance camera in her office showed that he was suspicious of Luca's involvement in the incident of the impostor Bianca.

Luca wanted to keep a low profile to avoid suspicion, but she could not bear to see Queenie suffer. What she did to save Queenie probably made Luke suspect her even more.

Everything that Luca did after that probably increased Luke's suspicion toward her. Eventually, it led to him ordering her to move to T Corporation and installing a surveillance camera in her office.

She could not tell if what Abel said were true, but she knew that Luke was both caring for her and suspecting her.

Luca did not say anything, though Abel could tell that Luca was in agony.

Knowing that those were her feelings and that the person Luke had been searching for was right in front of him, Abel found some relief to his anxiety.

His plan was so close to success. He would be able to avenge his beloved Kassy.

"Ivana, I want you to continue to investigate Bianca's whereabouts. Also, cooperate with Luke and give him everything he wants. It would be best if you could make him fall in love with you," Abel said. He was eager to see what would happen when Luke fell in love with her.

He ended the call right after that. The following scenes had played out in his mind.

Luca gripped the phone tightly with a vacant expression on her face.

She thought that Abel would use her to steal company secrets and bring down T Corporation. She did not expect Abel's plan to turn out to be like that.

Luke would fall in love with her, but he would not be able to obtain her. In fact, he would not be able to obtain either woman…

Luca closed her eyes in despair. She did not feel relieved even though she knew Abel's endgame. Instead, she realized that she had been walking along an irredeemable path.

Would she and Luke be able to escape from this abyss?

…

Luke and Tommy returned to Crawford Manor. Shortly after Luke parked his car, he received a call from Gale. "She's not going to make it, Boss. Rain is trying her best to resuscitate her."

Rain was helpless against the effects of the poison. With the sedatives, she might be able to let her live for a few more days. Even so, the sedative could not stop the impostor's seizures.

"I'll go over now." Luke used one hand to unfasten Tommy's seatbelt and opened the door. He put the phone away and said, "Tommy, I have some urgent business at the company. You can go into the house yourself."

Tommy nodded and hopped off the car. He asked, "Daddy, will you come home tonight?"
