Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2093

After all, Old Master Crawford did not know that Luca’s true identity was Bianca.

Despite her having given birth to three children for the Crawford family, if she did anything to harm the Crawford family or something that would affect the interests of T Corporation, Old Master Crawford would never forgive her if he found out about her real identity.

Old Master Crawford required his granddaughter-in-law to be an obedient woman. Even though Luca was forced to do these things, the old master’s mind was old-fashioned. Luca might leave a bad impression on him.

Luke chose not to tell the old master to protect Luca.

Besides, only Percy and Jason knew about this. They would never tell anyone about it.

Pierre would not have known that it was Luca who stole the bidding document. Otherwise, he would have come looking for Luca when the matter came to light. He would tell Luca everything he knew and threaten her to make her listen to him.

They were all in Russia at the same time. Gale and Rain had never seen Luca and Pierre talk to each other. That was why Luke was pretty sure that Pierre had no idea about it.

Old Master Crawford frowned when he heard that. He did not ask who the culprit was. Instead, he asked, “Have you found out who it was?”

“Yes.” Luke sipped his tea. “Pierre Mallory. He participated in the bidding too. The bidding document that he used was the fake bidding document that I prepared.”

"That bastard?" Old Master Crawford did not like Pierre, the youngest member of the Mallory family, because of the mess he caused the last time. Old Master Crawford almost fought with Old Master Mallory because of this.

“I gave Marcos the information he wanted on the condition that he made public the bidding documents from all participating companies during the meeting. The bidding document that Pierre submitted was the fake document that I prepared. Other than the company’s name and some other contents, he didn’t change any word in it,” said Luke. Then, he handed the documents to Old Master Crawford.

Old Master Crawford picked up his reading glasses beside him. He glanced at the contents of the bidding document after putting on his glasses. “Is this a fake bidding document?”

“Yes.” Luke nodded.

“It’s quite something. I suppose the one you submitted must’ve been of higher quality. Preparing two bidding documents at the same time… Your hard work paid off.” Old Master Crawford took his glasses off and looked at his grandson proudly.

He knew that others were eyeing the project, but Luke had done a good job of planning ahead.

The point was, Pierre's actions did not put his efforts in vain.

“Yes.” Luke nodded. He was also surprised that it was Pierre who bought the bidding document.

An arrogant person like him had spent money to use T Corporation’s bidding document but he accidentally got exposed. He must be really mad now.

“Grandpa, I came here to ask for your help,” said Luke.

Old Master Crawford was delighted to hear that. He stroked his beard and said, “Sure. I didn’t expect I could be of help at this age. Tell me, what do I have to do?”

“Percy is keeping Pierre under control now, and he’s going to leave Pierre to Old Master Mallory tomorrow. Pierre will have to confess everything that he’s done. The Crawford family and the Mallory family have shared a good relationship for ages. As the younger generation, there are certain things that I can’t intervene with. I’d like you to step forward and seek justice,” said Luke. What happened this time was the same as the previous matter. Old Master Mallory would be harsh on him if Luke intervened with it.

That was why Luke wanted Old Master Crawford to come forward.

“Again. I’ll head to the Mallory family’s manor tomorrow. But you must send me the information. He may not believe it,” reminded Old Master Crawford. After all, Luke had never disclosed the bidding document before.

Luke took a sip of his cup of tea.

Old Master Crawford looked at him and said, “I heard that you went to Russia for a business trip together with Luca.”

“Yes, Grandpa.” Luke knew what he wanted to ask, and he answered honestly.

“Then, is there anything going on between the two of you?” Old Master Crawford asked in a low voice. After they had finished talking about work, he was curious about Luke's personal life now.

“It’s still the same,” replied Luke. He wanted to close the distance between him and Luca too, but it was not the time to do so yet. He had to find out who was the mastermind of the Island of Despair. Only then would he be able to confess to Luca about everything.

"Why is it still the same? It was a good chance for you. Isn't there any chemistry between you and her?" Old Master Crawford was dissatisfied.

Luke shook his head.

“Y-You’ve let me down. You were in a different country alone with her. And you had so much time with just you and her. How could you not have taken the shot?” Old Master Crawford would love to see what was in Luke’s mind. How could he not feel anxious about this?

Luke narrowed his eyes. He was able to get the point in every word the old master said to him.

"Grandpa, how would you know whether I was alone with Luca?" he asked.

“Cough, cough…” Old Master Crawford cleared his throat and rolled his eyes. He picked up his cup of tea and pretended like he wanted to drink some tea.
