Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2956

Rhett often heard other assistants complaining about their professors. They were always saying they were understaffed and the company would not allocate more research positions.

On the contrary, Luca never uttered a word of complaint. It seemed like her research was able to proceed smoothly no matter how many researchers the company assigned to her.

After all, having worked on two research projects together, Rhett had not seen Luca face any difficulties yet.

He said these words as a piece of advice for Mo Stone. Perhaps the chances of her becoming a professor’s assistant would be higher if she chose a different research professor.

His good intentions, however, were misunderstood by Mo Stone.

She forced a faint smile and said nothing more. Then, she returned to her seat.

Choose a different professor? That had never crossed her mind!

Luca had always been her choice. If she could become Luca's assistant, she could learn and gain more.

Mo Stone thought Rhett's advice stemmed from his concern about her presence in Luca's group possibly affecting his position.

In an instant, Mo Stone labeled Rhett as a competitor.

Rhett was unaware of all of this. He diligently absorbed knowledge from the book.

Mo Stone glanced at Rhett's studious appearance and secretly cursed him for being insincere.

They were both rookies, so why was he pretending to be a scholar?

Meanwhile, Luca was still contemplating the events unfolding around her in the office. She felt complicated and uncomfortable. There was also Karen, who was feeling just as miserable.

Karen sat in a private booth in a cafe. She picked up the spoon and stirred her coffee with a gloomy expression on her face.

It was the finest Blue Mountain coffee, but she had no appetite for it. Her face wore a grim look. Myra and Margaret, who were sitting across her, dared not to make a sound.

Just as they were secretly pleased with themselves for causing significant trouble for Luke, they did not expect the spotlight to turn on Karen.

Now, the entire A City was talking about Karen's 'scandalous past'.

Being the subject of such talk did not make Karen happy at all.

At the same time, Margaret and Myra were worried that if Luke retaliated against Karen in the same way they did, would they be next?

However, after some consideration, they realized they did not have any scandals. Their notoriety was nowhere near as high as Karen's. It put their minds at ease, and they invited Karen out for coffee to relax.

They also wanted to learn about the events of those years from Karen while maintaining their relationship and picking up more juicy gossip.

While they did not express it openly, they were secretly curious about Karen’s affairs back then.

"Madam Mallory, what should we do now?" Myra asked when Karen remained silent for a while.

They were not as famous as Karen. Even if Luke decided to thrust them into the gossip news, it would not be a big deal. However, given that he was already taking revenge on Karen, there was a possibility that they might be his next targets.

Hence, they needed to stick together.

If one of them was targeted, at least there would be two others to help out.

Karen raised her gaze coldly. She looked calm on the outside, but she was secretly itching to light a cigarette.

"I never expected Luke to be so ruthless," said Margaret. She could not help but defend Karen.

The ones who contacted the reporter were the two of them, but Luke retaliated against Karen, who was behind this. It seemed like Luke had a handle on their moves all along. Otherwise, how could he have precisely targeted Karen on the second day the scandal was exposed?

This was just too ruthless.
