Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3220

“But I don't want them to get married just like that," Karen muttered those words as she clenched her teeth. “Father, you must have a way to handle this.”

“What can I do? It's your child. If you can't manage your own child, how do you expect an old man like me to help? How ridiculous you are!” Old Master Mallory's words made Karen's face flush with embarrassment and anger.

The truth was, neither of them had a solution.

After watching Old Master Mallory leave, Karen slammed the door shut.

She immediately called one of her subordinates. “How's the situation coming along?”

“Ma'am, it's proving difficult to kidnap Luca," reported the person on the other end. “Our guys found out that Luca has a driver driving her to and from work every day, and the driver is one of Luke’s men. He’s a real tough guy. Plus, Luca herself isn’t easy to mess with. She knows how to throw a punch too.” The man had done his homework.

Since this matter involved Luke, they had to proceed with caution.

“What's the point of having you around if you can't handle this?” Karen frowned, clearly displeased. “If she were an ordinary person, I wouldn't need you for this task.”

“Sorry, ma'am.” The person on the other end fell silent.

“I don't want to hear excuses. Right now, pronto, ASAP! I want you to arrange for Luca's kidnapping. If you can't do it, find an organization that can!” Karen's tone was harsh.

Pierre was running out of patience. Karen was afraid that he might make things worse if he acted recklessly.

“Yes, ma'am!” replied the man. He understood the urgency and knew they would be in serious trouble if they did not handle this properly.

After the meeting with her research team, Luca rubbed her constantly twitching eyelid.

She had a bad premonition.

“Dr. Craw, are you okay?” asked Rhett when he noticed her rubbing her eyes incessantly.

“My eyelid won't stop twitching.” Luca blinked her eyes, trying to alleviate the discomfort.

She could not shake the feeling that something was wrong.

“You're probably just exhausted,” replied Rhett. He noticed that her eyes were red from rubbing. “Why don't you go back to your office and rest for a bit?”

“Alright,” Luca agreed, feeling fatigued. The morning's experiments had been intense, and the whole team had been busy with them before the meeting.

Her eyes had already started feeling uncomfortable during the meeting at the start of the day. She went back to her office and found her eye drops. After two drops to her right eye, she blinked a few times.

Just as she was about to rest, her phone that was left on the table rang.

Luca picked her phone up and realized it was Queenie who was calling.

She massaged her temples before answering, “Good afternoon, Mrs. Norman.”

They had agreed that until her identity was fully restored, she would call Queenie 'Mrs. Norman' to avoid raising suspicions.

Due to the unusual circumstances, she had no choice but to do so.

“Luca, have you had lunch yet?” Queenie's voice was soft but tinged with sadness.

Luca glanced at the clock and saw it was just noon. She did not answer Queenie's question but instead asked, “Mrs. Norman, did something happen?”

“Leia was sentenced this morning.” Queenie's voice was filled with sorrow. Despite all the wrongs Leia had done and the heartbreaks she had caused, Queenie had raised her for over 20 years. Seeing her go down the wrong path and end up getting sentenced was heartbreaking.

“Sentenced?” Luca had been so busy lately that she only briefly checked on Matysh’s case yesterday and did not realize today was Leia's sentencing.
