Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2777

"Okay, I'll send someone over to support you." Percy decided immediately.

He had been thinking about what Gordan said to him all night.

He was worried that Pierre might not return even after he gave them the money. However, he was left with no other choice at that time.

He could not find where Pierre was. Hence, he had no choice but to accept the conditions of the Island of Despair, even if they might kill Pierre after getting the money.

Handing off the ransom was risky.

Still, he did not tell Old Master Mallory about it.

Old Master Mallory was not particularly rational at the moment. If he said such things impulsively, others might misunderstand that he had no intention to save Pierre.

However, Gordan gave him another choice now.

Even though it was risky, it could ensure that Pierre would come out alive.

Luke saw the look on Percy’s face and reminded him, "There are risks in this operation. You still have to prepare the cash, and it has to be more than before. You can use the ransom to save him if the mission fails."

Luke only said so as he had considered all the situations.

If Gordan's mission failed and he failed to rescue Pierre, Percy could still negotiate with them using the ransom.

However, after this operation, Percy would have to pay more ransom to make sure they agreed to release Pierre.

"I'll prepare another ten million dollars," said Percy.

He agreed with what Luke said.

Gordan, who was on the other end of the phone, protested, "Hey, hey, hey. I’m a professional and a capable rescuer. Have more faith in me. I can definitely save Pierre."

He could not guarantee that Pierre would be rescued completely unscathed, but at least he could make sure that he was alive…

However, the two people on the other end of the line seemed to have little confidence in him. They were already getting ready for plan B.

It was a great insult to him!

"Okay," replied Luke as he thought it was enough.

Luke asked Percy to prepare plan B to get ready for the worst-case scenario.

In fact, he still had confidence in Gordan. He also had a few subordinates who would be going with him. Therefore, there should be no problem.

However, nothing was set in stone.

What if…

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't ignore me. Go find someone else if you don’t trust me. I quit!" Gordan did not really mean it. He was just complaining about being ignored and expressing his dissatisfaction.

He considered himself a protagonist of this operation, after all.

Luke spoke to the person on the other end of the line, "There’ll be a video conference tonight to discuss the details of the rescue operation. Get a plan ready before nightfall."

After that, he hung up the call.

As Leroy listened to the busy tone coming from the phone, he could not help but chuckle.

"It looks like Boss just hung up on you, huh?"

"Nonsense! He accidentally pressed the button. I'm the core figure now. He wouldn't hang up on me," Gordan rolled his eyes, denying that he had been hung up on.

It was too embarrassing to admit it.

When Luke was kidnapped by Island of Despair back then, Gordan personally investigated it along with the men from the Lacroix family, the Holston family, and Mallory family.

However, they still did not know who took Luke and where he was taken.

They could only continue their search while hoping that the kidnappers would call.

In the end, they found nothing, and no kidnappers called. Gordan was once deeply consumed by self-blame.

If it were not for him messing with Vivian in order to complete his mission and getting trapped by Ray, he would not have had to ask Luke for help. Luke would not have gotten himself into trouble either.

Gordan blamed himself. He was regretful, but he just could not find Luke no matter what.

Luke eventually escaped from Island of Despair and let them know of its existence.

"Let's not talk about the past." Luke was not keen on bringing up his time on Island of Despair.

After all, if it were not for that incident, Luca would not have suffered so much and been kidnapped by the organization. She had her appearance changed and was forced to do things she did not want to do as a result.

What happened in the past was still very much relevant in the present.

It pained Luke deeply at the thought of what Luca had gone through.

If only his desire for revenge was not that strong and if only he did not team up with Percy and the others to destroy the previous Island of Despair… Perhaps Luca would still be Bianca today.

Even though there would still be trouble coming their way, Luca would not have to end up in such a state...

Gordan fell silent at the thought of everything that had happened. He seemed to have touched on the topic that Luke was least willing to talk about.

Luca falling into the hands of the Island of Despair was ultimately Luke’s biggest regret.
