Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2021

However, would Luca want to return to the hotel?

The person who was manipulating Luca behind her would have heard about the news that T Corporation had gotten the project successfully. That person would still go after T Corporation and him. Therefore, they should have something up his sleeve.

Luke thought that Luca would still be the one to implement that person’s next move.

That was why Luca was not allowed to be out of his sight.

Ray noticed that Luke's gaze was on Luca. He turned to look at her and said, "It's dangerous to drive in a snowstorm. No subway route can bring you back to the hotel either. Why don't you spend the night here?"

Luca put down her cutleries, lifted her head, and noticed that Luke and the others were looking at her. They were waiting for her reply…

“Mr. Crawford, I’ll leave the decision up to you,” Luca said in a soft voice, telling them that she was fine with the arrangement.

Luke nodded. It seemed like Luca had not received any orders. Luke turned to look at Ray and said, “We’ll have to spend the night here, then. I’m sorry for bothering you.”

Vivian replied immediately, “Brother Luke, what are you saying? You’re not bothering us at all. I’ll ask the maids to get three rooms ready for the three of you.”

At night.

Luca sat on the sofa in the room, staring at the heavy snow outside the window with a depressed expression on her face.

The weather forecast was right. It was snowing heavily.

If it snowed all night, the snow would be as high as their knee the next day when they woke up.

Vivian went to tidy up the guest rooms after dinner. Luca was not in the mood to join the other activities. She found an excuse and told them that she was tired so she could hide in the room.

She sat there for almost an hour.

Luca only wanted to be alone now without thinking about Luke and Abel’s matter.

Her phone suddenly rang.

Luca was startled. She slightly jumped and looked at her phone that was left aside. The screen lit up, and a string of numbers was calling her.

There was no way she could escape what ought to come.

Luca let out a sigh. She answered the call after it rang five times.

“Are you pulling my leg?” Abel’s sinister voice came from the other end of the line.

Luca could imagine the ferocious look on his face even though she could not see him. She knew exactly why he called without asking him. He came to ask about T Corporation’s matters.

“I didn’t.” Luca sounded calm. She was not in a hurry to explain herself.

“The bidding document T Corporation submitted is different from the one you gave me. Now, Luke won the bid with another bidding document and got the project. Ivana, tell me, were you fooling me?” Abel refused to believe what she said.

Abel was not concerned about the bidding results in the first place. After all, he assumed that Luke would lose the right to get the project. However, things were out of his expectation.

T Corporation was awarded the contract!

Abel was stunned when he saw the news on M Group's official website. He realized he had been played by Luca.

"The bidding document I gave to you was the one I stole from the safe box. Besides, I participated in the translation of the bidding document. The contents are the same as the contents of the document I gave you. I didn't know he prepared two bidding documents to set me up.” Luca looked down. She was secretly praising Luke for doing a great job. Luke had won this silent battle impressively.

Abel’s voice was full of disbelief as he asked, “Do you think I’ll believe your nonsense?”

“I wouldn’t do anything to betray you for Nyla’s sake.” Luca took a deep breath. It would be difficult for him to believe her right now.

However, she had no choice but to make him believe it.

Abel was reminded of her daughter. Nyla was indeed in his hands. Luca would not dare to do anything to him.

“Are you serious? You’re not in cahoots with Luke?”
