Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3438

Although Luca did not know the exact value of the clothes, she was certain that anything Luke had specially sent over would not be cheap.

So, when she caught the sales associate’s skeptical glance, she felt a bit helpless but did not bother to explain.

The truth would speak for itself. Besides, she had no intention of justifying herself to a sales associate.

Hera, despite her love for luxury goods, did not actually know much about haute couture. So, when she noticed the sales associate still sizing up Luca, she immediately snapped, “What are you looking at?”

“N-Nothing.” The sales associate quickly averted her gaze and turned her full attention to Hera, smiling brightly. “Our esteemed guest, what can I help you find today?”

Hera thought for a moment before saying in a serious tone, “Show me your new handbags.”

The sales associate’s eyes lit up when she heard this. Anyone who could afford so much designer clothing had to have deep pockets. This meant a solid commission for her!

With that in mind, she eagerly led Hera farther into the boutique.

She offered Hera a cup of coffee and an imported fruit platter. Then, she worked with her colleagues to present the latest handbag collection.

Hera looked at several bags and loved every single one of them.

However, even though Abel had given her a black card without mentioning a spending limit, she dared not dare to swipe too much at once. Hence, she kept her excitement in check.

She had been around enough men to know they all had their own limits.

If she splurged too much at once and ran up a massive bill, Abel might not be happy. When men like him got unhappy, they always took it out on their women one way or another.

Hera was not afraid of the usual transactional nature of their relationship, but she was afraid of what he might do if he decided to be cruel. Weighing her options, she dared not to buy them all.

Surrounded by the enthusiastic sales associate, she ended up selecting two bags.

The sales associate, who had been expecting a big splurge, could not hide her disappointment. She thought Hera would buy at least a handful, but she only picked two.

That level of spending was not exactly impressive. Many of their regular clients could afford just as much.

Although the sales associate was disappointed, she did not let it show.

She remained professional, carefully wrapping up the two handbags before taking the black card and completing the transaction. She tried upselling Hera on a few of the latest seasonal pieces, but Hera declined them all.

It was not that she did not like them. She just did not dare spend too much and risk upsetting Abel.

Now, Luca had two more shopping bags in hand.

Hera exited the boutique and headed straight into a high-end beauty store.

Luca rolled her eyes but had no choice but to follow, still weighed down by shopping bags.

What she did not know was that Gordan, disguised and keeping a low profile, had been tailing them from a distance.

Seeing Luca burdened with all those bags, he frowned and snapped a photo of her from behind. He then sent it straight to Luke.

Unaware of this, Luca simply carried on. If she had known, she definitely would have stopped him.

After all, she had rarely ever carried someone else’s shopping bags in her entire life. Luke had always protected her so well. She had never needed to experience anything like this.

If Luke saw her being pushed around by Hera like this, he definitely would not be happy.

Sure enough, he was not. The moment Luke saw the message from Gordan, his eyes darkened dangerously like a brewing storm. The sudden shift in his mood startled Gale.

“Boss, what’s wrong?” asked Gale.

“Hera is messing with Luca,” replied Luke.

Gale nodded. He understood why Luke behaved like that. He was pissed because he felt bad for Luca.

Then, he thought about that woman, Hera. Was she not just digging her own grave at this point? Messing with their boss’ woman now? When the time came for them to step in, Luke definitely would not let her off easy.

Some people just did not know when to stop—not until they ran themselves straight into disaster.
