Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3125

"We can't interfere with other people's business. Let's focus on our work," said Luca as she tucked away her phone and continued with her experiment.

At present, everything Luke did was to vent her frustrations.

She could not retaliate against Karen. It was not because she lacked the ability. It was just that once she took action, it could potentially have significant repercussions.

Luke's actions, on the other hand, could mitigate those repercussions and avoid conflict between the Crawford and Mallory families.

Luca thought that she indeed had the capability, but her abilities still did not match Luke's.

She did not necessarily have to surpass Luke, but sometimes, she needed various abilities to protect herself and her children while supporting Luke.

…

After Abel got off the plane at A City International Airport, he walked out of the airport and directly got into the car that had been arranged for him.

After the driver greeted him, he took him to the hotel.

All of this was arranged by Abel himself. After checking into the presidential suite of the hotel, he sat on the couch and puffed on a cigar. He recalled the events of the past few days.

The industry networking event in X City seemed to have yielded some results, but not significant ones.

After all, three types of herbs were still missing.

Moreover, although those two Caucasians claimed that Luke's car trunk was empty, Abel suspected that Luca might have done something behind his back.

However, he lacked evidence.

Even though Luca was his subordinate, suspecting someone of betrayal required evidence in the Island of Despair.

Abel had none at the moment. He could discipline Luca, but if news of such a thing spread back to the Island of Despair, it would cause panic and dissatisfaction among the people.

Abel was controlling those people with drugs, but they still had independent thoughts and emotions. Even under the drug's control, they still had their own thoughts and feelings of discontent.

Therefore, he could not act recklessly, lest they rebel against him.

Abel was well aware that even with drug control, Shanks could help others.

Furthermore, there were other capable individuals in this world besides Shanks. If they could find another doctor and pharmacist, replicating the antidote would be an easy task if the samples were given to them.

Hence, besides drug control, he also relied on winning people over with virtue.

His adoptive father used to do this. Without relying on various drugs, he still managed to control the Island of Despair well.

Even though he was later eliminated by Luke and others, Abel still respected Robert. The former Island of Despair was still his proudest achievement.

However, it no longer existed.

The doorbell of the suite rang.

Abel extinguished his cigar lazily and got up to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a figure dashed into his arms. The person even tiptoed to plant a kiss on his face. "Mr. Abel, I missed you so much.”

Abel looked down at the woman nestled in his arms. His eyes were still cold and indifferent, unlike the woman's warmth.

"What's wrong? Don't you miss me? If you don't miss me, why did you ask me to come over?" Hera also noticed the gloominess in the man's eyes. There was not even a hint of happiness.

She knew well what Abel thought of her.

Still, she was simply hoping for some generosity from him, which was why she dropped everything and came over as soon as he called.
