Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3256

When Marcos personally called his name, Ethan snorted coldly, pretending as though he did not hear it.

Marcos did not mind.

This was A City, not Russia. Matysh would not be getting out easily.

Luke suddenly burst into laughter when he saw how arrogant Ethan was.

Ethan heard him and turned his head to look at him.

Luca turned around and asked, “Is there something you need?”

Ethan felt like the three of them were targeting him, so he irritably turned his head away.

Luke continued, “No matter how many times Matysh appeals, the original verdict will likely be upheld. His case is extremely severe, and the public's reaction has been quite bad.

"A City won’t care about his influence in Russia. Everything will be judged based on the severity of his crimes here in A City, according to the law.”

Luca, worried that Ethan might not fully understand, clarified, “To put it simply, no matter how many appeals he makes, it won’t make a difference.”

Ethan’s expression darkened.

He would be returning to Russia with Marcos this time.

He intended to seek out experts and relevant connections in Russia to see if he could help Matysh.

What they were saying felt like a prophecy, reminding him that no matter what he did, it would be futile.

Matysh was destined to serve his sentence in A City.

After dinner, Marcos personally escorted them downstairs.

This time, Ethan did not follow because their discussion at the table made him realize that appealing on Matysh’s behalf would be ineffective.

Plus, with the appeal deadline looming, he needed to contact Russia immediately.

Marcos stood in the elevator with the two and suddenly pulled out a jewelry box from his pocket.

“Ms. Craw, as a token of gratitude for the hospitality Mr. Crawford and you have shown during this time, I’ve prepared a gift for you. I hope you accept it,” said Marcos.

“Oh, thank you.” Luca graciously accepted the box. Although it looked like it might contain a ring, the fact that Marcos was presenting it meant there was likely something significant inside.

She accepted it gracefully, and Luke did not say anything.

After leaving the hotel, Luca opened the jewelry box.

When she saw the note inside, she smiled and showed it to Luke before reading it aloud: “Hello, Ms. Craw. Here lies the ring my parents used in their wedding. After she left the family, the ring came into my possession.

"Now, I’d appreciate it if you could help return this ring to its rightful owner. I believe my mother misses it dearly as it holds great significance for her.”

“I knew it,” added Luca. When she saw the jewelry box, she had guessed that Marcos wanted her to help return it to Sarah.

Sure enough, that was the case.

“Give it to Ms. Poplar after they’ve returned to Russia,” said Luke.

“Yes, that’s what I was thinking.” Luca nodded. Even though there was no one visibly following them now, it was hard to say if there were any of Ethan’s people lurking around.

She remained cautious even though they were heading back.

Luca looked at the ruby ring in the jewelry box. Even after more than 20 years, the ruby was still stunning, shimmering faintly under the dim streetlights.

It was a beautiful gem.

Luca commented, “The ring has been well-maintained.”
