Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2319

Half an hour later, Susan had already made her selections for which photos she wanted to refine.

Excluding the family photo, every other photo was of herself.

The photographer could not help but complain internally. He had taken photos of so many guests and business big shots, yet Susan only chose the photos she was in.

After her selection, the photographer kept his computer and stood up. “Madam Crawford, now that the photos have already been selected, I should be able to finish editing and refining them within a week. We can decide on a date then for you to come and take a look at the photos. I’ll further refine them if need be.”

“Alright. There’s no rush. Just make sure that the photos look great in the end,” Susan replied.

“Of course. I’ll make sure to further heighten your looks.” The photographer knew what Susan wanted to hear, so he promised her as he walked down the stairs.

“That will be best.” Susan was very pleased with his business attitude and stood to walk him downstairs.

Then, she had the butler send him out when they arrived on the first floor.

Old Master Crawford was currently having tea on the sofa when he asked, “Have you chosen the photos already?”

“I have, Father. They should be edited within a week. If they look alright, we should be able to update the family photo before the new year.” Susan turned to look at the family photo on the wall and smiled ambiguously.

It would be nice to change the family photo since the new one did not have Allison on it.

She had dressed elegantly for her birthday yesterday and looked perfect as the madam of the house.

“Alright. I’ll leave it to you to make sure that the photo’s changed before the new year,” Old Master Crawford said.

Susan’s heart soar. Old Master Crawford was the one who suggested updating the family photo. This meant that he no longer cared about Allison anymore.

This was the best outcome since it meant that there would only be one madam of the Crawford family.

…

The Island of Despair.

Abel pushed opened the door and walked into Shanks’ lab with his phone in hand. “Is my cigar done?”

“Left cabinet, second drawer, first compartment.” Shanks was currently preparing medicine and did not look up at Abel.

Abel found two boxes of modified cigars and sat in front of Shanks pleasedly. “Aren’t you bored studying medicine here all day? You won’t even help me teach or train those people either.”

“Those people are hopeless. There’s no point in training them,” Shanks replied without looking up.

Abel took his phone and tapped on the image he received. “As far as you’re concerned, she’s the only person who has any degree of talent.”

Shanks knew who Abel was talking about. Luca was indeed the most hardworking woman he met.

She did not have much talent for medicine, but she was smart and willing to work hard, so she learned quickly.

Shanks frowned and opposed immediately. “No.”

“Why not?” Abel did not like his plans being opposed. He slapped the desk in anger.

“Don’t tell me you’re pitying Ivana. You can’t possibly have fallen for her during those three years together, have you? And even if you have, so what? All she thinks about is that man. You’d better act quickly if you really want her. Destroy Luke so she no longer finds him outstanding. Once she no longer thinks about him, then only will you have any semblance of a chance.”

“You think you much. My issue is that your recruits have yet to find the ingredients I want. If you call Ivana back now, who’s going to distinguish the real ones from the fakes?” Shanks asked.

“Hmph. If we find out that they’re all fake when they get back, then they’ll just have to go out and look again,” Abel replied without a care.

“Are you sure? The outside world already knows that the Island of Despair’s forces is bouncing back. Everyone is looking for us. If you keep sending people out, they’ll manage to trace us in no time. I’d like to remind you as well that the Russian air force frequently circles above our island because of this,” Shanks tells him.

The outside world was growing nervous now that they could confirm the existence of the Island of Despair.

Some forces were even trying to locate the island as well.

However, no one seemed to have guessed that they were just underground. In fact, in an attempt to avoid being detected or traced by all sorts of instruments, they were also using various anti-detection and anti-tracking instruments of their own underground.

“Hmph.” Abel had to admit that Shanks made a point.

Not to mention that the medicine Shanks was currently studying was going to be very useful for the Island of Despair, so Abel needed his help.

“Fine. I'll let Ivana spend another year with her dearest husband, then.” Abel agreed to it.
