Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 254

Jack placed his wine glass on the table when he heard Luke's words.

His face was slightly red from the alcohol. "Don't worry, Luke. I'll get my men on the case. You'll receive the approval tomorrow. Remember, take good care of my daughter."

The more Jack looked at Luke, the more satisfied he was. From their conversation, he could understand that Luke was a shrewd and assertive man and would be the perfect son-in-law.

Jack had addressed him as "Mr. Crawford" earlier, but it was now "Luke."

Everyone who heard that knew that Jack was trying to play matchmaker.

Those people looked enviously at Luke. In a mere few sentences, Luke had won the rights to develop the seaside resort worth tens of billions of dollars.

However, they knew that they were no match for Luke's handsome looks and sharp business acumen.

Even though they might be envious, they knew that Luke deserved it.

"Congratulations, Mr. Crawford! With this development project in your bag, T Corporation will be pushed to greater heights," a balding middle-aged man praised him.

"Mr. Crawford, you are a rare business prodigy. You've led your company to record profits. I admit that I'm no match for you!" Another pot-bellied man in a business suit also said.

Luke flashed an ambiguous smile and raised his glass toward Jack. "Thank you for your approval, Mr. Norman. I will make sure that the seaside resort can bring the most benefit to the city."

Of course, he did not mention anything about taking care of Leia.

He knew that the dinner would be one that was fraught with lies.

However, he was surprised that Jack seemed to be trying to match Leia with him.

After all, he never had any interaction with Leia. All he knew about her was her name and how she could not be any more popular despite the resources poured into publicity efforts.

The only woman whom he loved was Bianca Rayne. He had never been interested in any other woman, much less a pretentious one like Leia Norman.

Running his company for many years had honed his perception. He could tell from the first glance at Leia's eyes that she was oozing with ambition.

He was not going to let her close to him. If anything, he would want to keep her away as far as possible.

However, Leia did not know what Luke was thinking. She was very happy at the moment.

Love and tenderness brimmed from her eyes as her eyes were transfixed on Luke.

Now that Luke had given her the assurance, her chances of scoring the spokesperson role were almost one hundred percent.

She knew that Luke only agreed to it because of her father, but what about it? If she could interact more often with Luke, she was confident that she would eventually win his heart.

Late at night.

Bianca put the two children to bed. She curled up on the couch in the living room, reading a book.

The dim yellow light illuminated Bianca's gentle and beautiful face. It was a tranquil scene.

Currently, she was lost in the pages of the book.

It was a story of love and lust, and sin and redemption. The male and female lead characters were siblings of different mothers.

"This is not a love story, but a story about love." That was how Bonnie, the female lead character, had opened the book.

Lewis, the male lead character, was deeply in love with Bonnie. However, they were forced to separate under the pressure of morality and public opinion.
