Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3423

The director let Pierre stir up trouble, calmly watching as the chaos unfolded until it got so out of hand that the police showed up.

The police checked Karen's medical records, confirmed that her mental state was problematic, and then reviewed the hospital’s policies. They verified that the person who admitted Karen was an immediate family member. Later, they told Pierre that this was a family matter they needed to resolve themselves as the hospital had not done anything wrong.

Then, the police left.

Pierre had no choice but to leave as well.

While the commotion unfolded at the hospital, things were not exactly peaceful on the Crawford family’s side either.

Allison had been staying at Luke’s villa.

However, Luke had not been home for several days. She tried asking Jason for information, but he just told her that Luke was away on a last-minute business trip abroad. At first, Allison believed him. After all, T Corporation had projects all over the world.

However, after waiting for over a month with no sign of him, she grew suspicious.

What kind of business trip lasted over a month?

Luke was not just an employee. He was the leader of the company! That was when Allison started to doubt the story.

She suspected that Luke had not gone on a business trip at all but was deliberately avoiding her and had moved somewhere else.

Nevertheless, she had no way to prove it since she could not leave the villa during the day.

As for Sophian, there was no way she could trust her to investigate Luke’s whereabouts.

Through her interactions with Sophian, Allison had come to realize that aside from being good at beauty treatments, she was clueless about everything else. Cooking? Cleaning? Forget it. She could barely handle those basics.

Now, the villa still looked somewhat presentable, but behind the scenes, it was a mess. It was far worse than when Allison first moved in.

If Sophian could not even handle housework, how could Allison expect her to go to T Corporation and find out where Luke was staying?

Sophian was simply that kind of person—low-level. Asking her to handle anything beyond her ability would only lead to embarrassment or even backfire.

Frustrated and out of options, Allison decided to wait until nightfall to visit Crawford Manor to see if Luke had taken Luca back there.

She brought Sophian along.

When the car arrived at Crawford Manor’s parking lot, Allison put on a scarf, hat, sunglasses, and mask before stepping out.

Sophian followed her, and as soon as she saw the grand building in front of them, she could not help but exclaim, “Wow, this place is so luxurious!”

A trace of disdain flashed across Allison’s eyes.

She was growing more and more annoyed by Sophian’s lack of sophistication.

This kind of person was not presentable at all, and bringing her anywhere was downright embarrassing.

Even though she was easy to manipulate, the thought of making her Luke's companion was simply out of the question. She was far from presentable.

“What did I tell you before?” Allison reminded her sharply.

Sophian belatedly realized she had once again shown the narrow-mindedness Allison often criticized her for. She forced an awkward smile and said in an ingratiating tone, “I’ll pay attention, Madam Allison.”

“If you want to become my son’s companion, you must have a broader perspective. If just this place alone leaves you in awe, how are you going to handle accompanying him to high-end events in the future? You’ll only embarrass my son and the Crawford family,” lectured Allison.

Ever since Luke left the villa, Luca had not returned either. Allison, still clinging to her role as the Crawford family’s matriarch, directed all her authority toward Sophian instead.

Fortunately, Sophian tolerated her condescension and obediently accepted her guidance.

“Yes, I understand.” As Sophian listened to Allison’s grand vision, she began to let her imagination run wild.

Sophian pictured herself dressed in custom-made designer gowns, with flawless makeup and dazzling jewelry, gracefully holding Luke’s arm at high-society events.

She imagined mingling with the elite, exchanging witty remarks, and charming everyone with her poise.

Her fantasy extended even further to marrying Luke, giving him a son and daughter, and growing old together.

She imagined herself becoming the respected and envied Mrs. Crawford…
