Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2153

"Alright, let's order." Nina handed the other menu to Sue, while she shared a menu with Luca.

After ordering, they discussed the current affairs in A City.

Luca did not say anything as she did not know much about what was going on in A City, so she just listened to them talk.

They were exposed to much more things than she was.

Luca was always in the laboratory working on the research. She practically had no chance of coming in contact with the outside world.

However, Nina and Sue were different.

They were still the backbone of Brilliant Architectural Design LLC. They were in charge of the decisionmaking for basically all the matters at the company. It was only when it came to a particularly important decision that they would leave it up to Luke.

Sue and Nina talked for some time before noticing that Luca had not spoken at all, so Sue apologized, "Sorry about that, Luca."

"Why apologize? The things you're talking about are quite interesting," Luca said with a smile. They were talking about matters concerning the upper-class circle of A City. She even heard several familiar names.

After hearing their conversation, she could not help but sigh at the things all these people had done over the years.

Sure enough, where there were people, there would not be peace.

"I'm afraid you'll be bored. Besides, you don't know these people," said Sue as she picked up a cup of water to feed Kari.

"I actually know a couple of names, like the one you just mentioned, Brody. His family, the Hilton family, seems to be in international trade. I've heard of a Hilton family in Russia and the heir's name is Brody. Could it be the same Brody?" asked Luca. Saying that the Hilton family was doing business abroad would not arouse the two's suspicion.

Nina nodded and said, "It should be the same person."

"If that's the case, the Hilton family used to have several businesses in Russia. I never thought that they would turn out this way..."

After listening to their conversation, it seemed like the Hilton family was not holding up well.

Their foreign businesses had nearly all been shut down, leaving them with only some domestic estates. It seemed like they ended up in this situation because of Brody's poor management, but of course, there were other reasons.

“Ever since Grandma Hilton passed away, most of the Hilton family's businesses fell into the hands of Brody. Unfortunately, he lost almost all of the Hilton family's estates," said Sue as she knew more about this because of Jason.

"The one with the most business acumen in the Hilton family was Grandma Hilton, but Brody dated Leia and a series of unfortunate events happened after that, so Grandma Hilton got so angry that she got a stroke and passed away a few years later. Nobody watched over Brody, so he let himself go. He got together with another female celebrity after breaking up with Leia, but she did not seem to have good intentions as she kept depleting the Hilton family's wealth," Nina explained to Luca.

Luca shook her head helplessly after hearing that.

Combining all of their estates, the Hilton family used to be on par with the Crawford family.

It was just that the Hilton family's estates were all abroad, so the people here always felt that they were no match for the Crawford family.

Unexpectedly, Brody still did not grow up after losing Leia and went on to find a female celebrity instead.

Not to mention, the celebrity and Leia even knew each other.

Well, birds of a feather flock together.

"You don't know?" Sue was a little taken aback as she thought that she was still working beside Luke.

"Of course, I wouldn't know. T Corporation's Russian translator was on maternity leave the last time and they didn't want to hire fresh graduates as they would be troublesome and won't be able to catch up with the progress of the project's bidding document. They didn't have anyone else, which was why they had me replace the position. Now that the project is theirs, I've returned to the laboratory to conduct my experiments. That's my job," Luca told them.

"I see. It's all Jason's fault. He's always talking about how capable you are all the time. I almost forgot that you're a research professor, not a translator." Sue helplessly slapped her forehead.

"Luca is capable of a lot of things, including cleaning up the trouble that Jean caused. If it weren't for her, he would be in prison right now," said Nina.

Luca chuckled out of embarrassment after hearing Nina praise her.

In the middle of their conversation, the meal they ordered was already brought to the table by the waiter.

The three adults and two kids ate with relish.

After their meal, they thought about visiting Sue's place, but Nina received a call.

"Hello, who is this?" asked Nina.

It was unknown what the caller on the other end had said, but Nina's expression got gloomier.

Luca noticed and gestured for Sue to stop talking for a while.

Then, they heard Nina say, "Alright, got it. I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused. I'll go over there right now."
