Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1738

Listening to Luca's analysis, Percy frowned even more.

Whenever Jean faced him, he was always submissive. It was the same when he saw him that day.

If they did not employ special means, it was difficult to find out more.

However, Jean was Nina's brother. He did not want to use those special methods to extract a confession from Jean if it was not necessary. If he did so, it might alert Pierre.

"Jean acted normal. There was nothing out of the usual," Percy said.

Luca shook her head and replied, "You can't get information from him through normal means. Why don't I give it a try?"

She was in a hurry to find Nina, so she offered to help.

She had an organization behind her, but to be on the safe side, she could not make use of those resources. As such, she could only help through these means.

"No." Luke objected without a second thought. He knew that Jean had bad intentions toward Luca.

If she took the initiative to approach Jean to investigate this matter, she would be sending herself into the tiger's mouth.

Although Jean was a coward and Luke was confident that he could protect Luca, Luke was unhappy when he thought of how she may be taken advantage of by such a man.

After what had happened, she still had not learned her lesson. She had been in danger several times because of Jean, yet she still dared to...

Luca was surprised to hear Luke's objection.

She did not understand why he would object.

"Mr. Crawford?" Luca called out to him. There were doubts in her eyes.

Luke realized that his reaction was a little big. He unconsciously changed his posture and explained, "Jean is not a good person. It's too dangerous for you to approach him."

"I can protect myself. The most important thing right now is rescuing Nina. Mr. Crawford, don't worry. I’ll do what I can and not push it." Luca listened to his worries, her heart was touched and at a loss.

‘Under what circumstances would a person like Luke, who isn’t emotional, express his concern so strongly?’

She did not dare to think further.

Seeing that she insisted and considering that this matter had nothing much to do with him, he knew he could not stop her. Hence, he reminded her. "Jean is interested in you. Luca, if you insist on getting close to him to investigate this matter, it'll be just like sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth."

"I've thought about this. I believe in my ability. Jean won't get what he wants so easily. At the same time, since Jean is interested in me, I can get more out of him if I go, no?" Luca said. If she approached him, maybe she could tear down Jean's walls and find out about Nina's whereabouts.

"Jean doesn't necessarily know where Nina is." Luke reminded her. He thought that it was too big of a risk.

If Jean was not fooled by her and told Pierre about it, he was worried that Pierre would work with Jean to deal with Luca.

"We have to do something, no?" Luca had already made the decision. No matter what Luke said, she would not change her mind.

Seeing this, Luke went silent.

Percy knew what Luca meant to Luke. Even if he thought Luca's proposal was feasible, he still left the decision in Luke's hands.

Seeing that he gave in, Luca nodded in agreement and responded, "Okay."

With Luke’s and Percy's people protecting her, Jean would not be able to have things his way no matter how cunning he was.

Luke was still mad because of the danger she opted to put herself in, so he said, "Let's go. Let's grab lunch."

Luca noticed that it was already halfway through their lunch break. They did not notice how much time had passed as they were engulfed in the planning. She nodded.

The two walked out of the office one after the other. Percy walked over after he had made the necessary plans. He saw them leaving the office and said, "I assume neither of you had lunch? Let's go. It’s my treat."

Luca had to follow them.

They did not go very far. They chose to eat at a restaurant near T Corporation.

When the food arrived, Luca noticed that Percy was drinking coffee by himself and had no intentions of eating. She understood why Percy did not have the appetite. After all, Nina was still missing.

However, he should not starve, so she said, "Mr. Mallory, have a bite?"

Percy looked at the dishes in front of him. His worries did not diminish the slightest. He said, "If Nina is kidnapped, she wouldn’t eat or drink."

Nina was a tough cookie. When they had a difference in opinion and he pissed her off, she would refuse to eat or drink.

She could starve for several meals. There was once when she fainted after not eating for a few days. When the family doctor came to give her a nutritional injection, he even scolded her.

If Pierre kidnapped her, she would replicate this method to hurt herself and make him compromise so she could escape.
