Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2343

Luca knew that Luke had managed the situation well.

He did a wonderful job. Dexter could not do anything to the Norman family even if he was eyeing their fortune.

Luke dealt with the situation in a way that would not affect Jack's work, nor would it affect Queenie. Luca opened her lips slightly and could not help but praise him, "You did a great job."

Luke could not help but smile when he heard her praise.

He closed the page and put his phone on the wireless charging stand on the bedside table. "It's getting late. Let's go to bed."

"Okay." Luca was sleepy too.

Whenever it was at this hour, she would feel sleepy if Luke was by her side.

Luca lay down and Luke lay beside her, hugging her tightly.

After they turned off the lights, there was only the sound of them breathing in the bedroom.

Gradually, Luca fell asleep while being hugged by Luke. She had a pretty good dream.

...

Late at night.

The streets of A City were no longer lively because of the blizzard.

In the alley of a bar street, Jean Langdon was beaten and kicked by several big men who stank of alcohol. He curled up beside the garbage dump, hugged his head, and begged, "Boss, please, stop hitting me. I'm going to die."

The gangster standing behind took a puff of his cigarette and said fiercely, "If you don't pay us back, we’ll beat you up every day. Hit him until he pays back the money!"

"Boss, please spare me! I have the money to pay you back," Jean pleaded. His face and body were already bruised all over.

However, no matter how loud his pleas were, they did not arouse the sympathy of passersby.

They were in a hurry because they did not want to get involved.

"If you have money, pay us back!" The lead gangster saw him being beaten but felt that it was not enough, so he stepped forward and kicked him.

"Ah!" Jean cried out in pain. "Boss, if you kill me, no one will pay you back."

"Since you don't have any money anyway, you can be a punching bag for my associates. Hit him hard. If you encounter someone who doesn't pay back the money in the future, this is how you can teach them a lesson!" The gangster did not take pity on him. He was not worried that his associates would kill Jean.

It was fair to ask for repayment when money was borrowed.

"Stop hitting me, please. I'll give you the money tomorrow afternoon," Jean pleaded. He had no money because Marie Rayne had taken everything from him.

After he finished the 500 dollars Percy gave him, he could only borrow money from others.

However, the money he borrowed was all gone in a blink of an eye because of gambling.

"You’re taking so long to return the 3,000 dollars. Can I trust you?" The gangster threw his cigarette on the ground and stepped on it.

Jean watched and feared that the man’s foot was about to step on his head at any moment.

"I don't have any money, but my sister has. You should know that my sister is engaged to Percy Mallory!" Jean held his head, begged for mercy, and explained.

He had bruises all over his head and could taste blood in his mouth.

"Your sister?" The gangster frowned.

The associate knew about Jean's background and said, "Boss, his sister was in the news a while ago. She’s indeed Percy's fiance."

"Percy Mallory? Oh, I remember. That woman is his sister?" The gangster realized the connection.

"Yeah, it's his sister."

"They had made such a scene, yet Percy still chose to be with his sister?" The gangster narrowed his eyes. He was in disbelief.

"They’re still together. They have no intention of breaking up. I’ll be able to return the money to you in half a day." Jean said quickly.

The gangster looked at his associate.
