Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1798

Luca picked up the glass and took a sip of the juice, ignoring her sarcasm.

"The police didn't arrest me, so what’s there for them to do to me? I just cooperated to help with the investigation. There’s no evidence to point out that I hurt anyone." She smiled and thought of how this woman's mouth had once spat out extremely vicious words to Nina. She was thinking about how she could get even with Madam Mallory.

"There were surveillance cameras that captured what you did. How dare you say that there’s no evidence? If you didn’t touch him, my son wouldn't be lying in the hospital now!" Madam Mallory was raving mad that the police released Luca, saying that there was no direct evidence to link her to Pierre’s injuries. The hospital could not issue an injury report either because they found nothing. They could not take action on Luca.

"I barely grazed him. Mrs. Mallory, I’m nothing but a weak woman. How could I cause your son to lie in the hospital?" Luca raised her hand deliberately. Although she had been doing experiments, the skin on her hand was delicate and she had long fingers. It did not look like a hand that could beat up a man.

Madam Mallory wanted to tear off her sharp mouth. She asked, "What did you do to Pierre?!"

"I didn’t do anything." Seeing how mad Karen was getting, Luca held the juice in her hand so she could not splash it on her.

"Don't act dumb in front of me. If you didn't do anything, how did Pierre get knocked to the ground just like that?" Madam Mallory narrowed her eyes. If Luca refused to tell her what had happened, the doctor would not be able to find the root cause. Taking painkillers five to six times a day would not lead to Pierre getting any better.

"There are many people who fake accidents in this world. Maybe Young Master Pierre wanted to stage an accident involving me?" Luca drank her juice leisurely. In the past, she would not be bothered to waste time on people like Madam Mallory.

However, she did not want to go back to the empty villa, so she was there to waste time with Madam Mallory.

Madam Mallory did not care about her image at that moment and scolded, "Who do you think you are? Why would Pierre waste any time staging an accident involving you?!"

"Yeah, you're right. I'm nothing. However, Young Master Pierre still wanted to kidnap me. How did a kidnapper escape the punishment of the law?" Luca deliberately mentioned the kidnapping incident.

"Who are you calling a kidnapper?!" Madam Mallory slammed her hands on the table and stood up. "Stop spewing nonsense! The police have no evidence to prove it!"

"Aren't you spewing nonsense as well? Since you and I are talking nonsense, there’s no need to continue the discussion." Luca stood up and saw the waiter bring the lemonade. She took out two hundred dollars from her pocket and said, "Can I get the bill? Don't worry about the change."

The waiter was not sure how to react, so he put the lemonade on the table, looked at the money, and then at the two people.

The two of them did not look like ordinary women. However, the situation felt awkward as though they were about to break out in a fight.

Luca looked at the woman whose face had turned blue with anger and smiled. When she was about to leave, she received a call from Luke.

She stepped aside, worried that she would be splashed when she was not paying attention.

She answered the call, and Luke's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Aren't you home yet? You’re still working at Watson Biopharmaceuticals?"

"Mm, I'm still out. Aren't you and the children staying at Old Master Crawford’s place?" Luca was a little surprised that they were not spending the night at Crawford Manor.

"It's too noisy over there. It's not suitable for the kids to rest there," Luke said. Susan and Allison quarreled as soon as they met. Even when Old Master Crawford was around, they would still be cynical and sarcastic with each other. It was not good for the children, so he left with them after dinner. They did not expect Luca to still be out.

"Where are you?" Luke asked.

"I'll be back in a little while. I still have some stuff to deal with now." Luca looked at Madam Mallory and knew that their conversation was over. However, Madam Mallory was still standing there, seemingly insistent on figuring out what was going on with Pierre.

"What do you have to deal with?" Luke frowned and looked out the window. The temperature at night was lower than that during the day. It was cooling down even further. He wondered if she was staying warm.
