Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2855

Queenie sat on the sofa. Leia's handcuffed hands stung her eyes.

When Leia was still young, she personally taught her how to write the names of their family members. She even taught her how to play the piano and draw.

Queenie poured all her hopes and maternal love into her.

Everything Leia could do with her fine wrists was her pride.

Yet, when did that pride turn into what it was now?

Queenie's heart ached, and her eyes immediately turned red. "Oh, Leia."

As Leia looked at Queenie's expression of compassion, she felt a wave of disgust in her heart. How fake it was!

Was she pretending to put on a show in front of the police? Would it make Leia seem even more unforgivable?

Even though Leia felt a strong aversion deep down inside, she did not reveal her true feelings on her face. Her eyes welled up with tears as she said, "Mom, save me. I don't want to go to the police station."

Queenie's heart throbbed with pain. At that precise moment, she almost asked the police officers to let go of her daughter!

However, the recording Jack played for her yesterday, along with all the evidence presented...

Queenie suppressed the urge to do so. If she were to do that, she would ruin Jack’s plan and tarnish his reputation. She made the choice to prioritize her husband over her adopted daughter. "Leia, cooperate with the police investigation. They won't accuse any good person."

Francis heard what Queenie said and slightly nodded in agreement.

Queenie was right. They would not falsely accuse any good person, nor would they let any criminals go free.

Initially, the case involving the Norman family could have been closed with Matysh involved with a criminal syndicate, but so many other people were involved now. Hence, they had to take it seriously.

Leia bit her lip. Things had come this far, yet Queenie still refused to help her.

She thought about how Queenie had let these police officers in. Leia was even detained her for so many days, yet Queenie remained indifferent. Leia knew that Queenie's so-called maternal love was utterly fake!

Leia glared at Queenie with resentment. Then, she was escorted away from the Norman Residence by the police.

Queenie collapsed onto the sofa with a pale look on her face.

Did the glint in Leia's eyes reflect her hatred toward her?

...

On the other hand, Luca had already received a message from Luke and knew that Leia had been arrested by the police.

When she read the message, she could not help but sigh.

Although Leia was not well-regarded by Jack after she returned to the country this time, she could still live a comfortable life as the young lady of the Norman family.

However, her heart was restless, which led her to commit such an act.

What Mandy said in the recording could prove that they were related to the Norman family’s case this time.

Leia was going to prison.

Luca rubbed her throbbing forehead and flipped through the documents in front of her.

The phone she placed aside rang again. Luca looked at the unfamiliar caller ID, but she still answered the call. "Hello, who is this?"

"This is Officer Smith calling from the local police department of X City. May I speak with Ms. Craw?" A man's voice came from the other end of the line.

The local police department of X City?

Luca frowned, then recalled the incident involving Percy and the case's connection to X City. Then, she replied, "Yes, I’m Ms. Craw. What's the matter?"

The man glanced at the documents when he heard Luca speaking standard English, and he asked, "Do you know a foreigner named Amur? He claims to be your younger brother."

Luca’s heart tightened when she heard the police officer mention Amur’s name. Could it be that the truth was exposed and the police found out about Amur's involvement in Percy’s kidnapping case?

Everything was confiscated by the police.

Not only did Abel fail to get money from the Mallory family this time, but he also suffered a significant loss himself.

The two men captured by the police were ticking time bombs. They might reveal everything under police interrogation.

Luca estimated that it had something to do with those two men.

She picked up her phone and informed Luke about her intention to go to the police station in X City to bail out Amur.

Luke asked: [Is Warren taking you there?]

Luca replied: [Yes.] She did not have the energy to drive a few hours herself, and her driving skills were not good enough for long distances.

[Okay. Safe trip.] After Luke replied to her, he noticed the time and added: [If it’s too late, spend the night there before coming back. Don't rush back here.]

Even though he did not want Luca to be too far away from him, it was for her own good.

The round trip would take several hours, and if she tried to make it back on the same day, she would only arrive here before dawn.

[Okay.] Luca thought it was actually for the best. She looked at the man in the driver's seat. "Warren, do you have your ID with you?"

"Yes, Ms. Craw," answered Warren.

"I might need to spend a night in X City tonight. Let your family know about it when you’re free to call them later," said Luca. Then, she lowered her head to discuss work matters with Rhett.

It was Rhett who had been handling most of her work these days.

She had no other choice. With everything piling up, she did not have the extra time or energy to deal with the initial work of this project.

Fortunately, Rhett had been with her since he entered the company. He had gained experience in handling paperwork from the first project. Hence, it was not a difficult task for him.

"Alright, Ms. Craw,” replied Warren. It did not matter where he stayed. His family was not in A City, and he was single. Hence, he did not need to report to anyone even if he did not go home.
