Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3465

Luke had no idea what kind of mindset the person who poisoned Vivian had. However, he found Gordan’s current behavior quite intriguing.

“Luke, what’s with that look?” Gordan felt uneasy under his gaze.

“You seem pretty concerned about Vivian,” Luke leaned back on the couch and said thoughtfully.

Gordan froze for a moment before laughing it off. “What? No way! Why would I care about her? Come on, Luke, don’t say stuff like that. If she hears it, she might start getting ideas.”

Luke could not be bothered to expose his act and got straight to the point. “Why are you here?”

“Speaking of that, I almost got sidetracked by that woman.” Gordan quickly pulled out his phone, grimacing. “Man, Ray really didn’t hold back. I need to get some treatment for these bruises later.”

Luke took the phone and tried to unlock it. It needed a passcode. He handed it back. “Unlock it.”

“All set, boss.” Gordan unlocked the phone and went back to pressing an ice pack against his face.

Luke scanned the screen. His lips tightened into a thin line, and his expression was cold. On the phone was intel about the Island of Despair.

Luke stood up immediately. “I need to check the suite next door.”

“Boss, are you going to avenge me?” Gordan was so touched he almost cried.

Luke reminded him, “Didn’t you throw a few punches yourself?”

Gordan was rendered speechless. Before barging in, he had indeed thrown plenty of punches. However, after that, his mind went blank, and he stopped.

Luke added mercilessly, “From what I saw, Ray took quite a beating too. Let’s just leave it at that.”

“Boss, I went through all this trouble to deliver this intel to you and even got beaten up. And this is how you treat me?” Gordan whined, feeling utterly betrayed.

“Why did Gale send you?” Luke suddenly asked as his sharp eyes locked on him.

Gordan suddenly felt exposed as though all his secrets had been laid bare. He forced a laugh and explained, “Obviously because that brat, Gale, was too busy, so he sent me instead.”

“Are you sure it wasn’t your own idea?” Luke’s gaze was calm. It was as though he was telling him that he already knew the truth.

“Of course not! I just felt bad for the guy since he was swamped, so I did him a favor,” Gordan said, bracing himself.

Luke’s expression showed pure disbelief. Seeing how miserable he looked, he said, “You just wanted to come check on Vivian. Getting beaten up was your own fault.”

Gordan frowned, accidentally tugging on the wound on his face.

“Luke, that’s not true at all,” denied Gordan.

“Enough. Just stay here and wait. Once Ray and I figure something out, you can go get your bruises treated.” Luke did not look back as he left the room.

Gordan let out a dramatic wail. He was absolutely miserable!

It felt like he had been completely abandoned.

The real issue was that Luke saw right through his little act.

Gordan, on the other hand, was puzzled. He just wanted to know what illness Vivian had. Why was everyone looking at him like that?

Besides, he and Vivian were divorced. At most, they were just familiar strangers. It was not like they had some deep-seated grudge. Was he not even allowed to be curious about her condition?

At the thought of this, Gordan felt wronged and wanted to complain to Gale. However, just as he reached for his phone, he suddenly remembered that Luke had taken it. With nothing else to do, he simply lay down, stretched out, and accepted his fate.

After Luke left the suite, he knocked on the door next door.

Ray opened it.

Luke glanced at Ray’s bruised face. It was not as bad as Gordan’s, but it was not great either.
