Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 5

When Bianca next set foot in the busy A City once more, five years had passed.

She had been away for almost two thousand days and nights. It was not a very long time, but it was not nothing either.

Back then, she had been pushed about mercilessly by destiny. She had been completely powerless!

Now, she just wanted to use her own strength to take control of her life with her own hands.

It was morning.

“Bea, over here—” Nina wound down her car window and waved at Bianca, who was walking out of her suburb.

Time had passed. Five years later, the two of them were no longer clueless girls of eighteen or nineteen.

Bianca and Jean had returned to the country together yesterday, and Nina had been the one to pick them up from the airport.

That night, Jean had taken Bianca back to the Langdons’ place for dinner.

Mr. and Mrs. Langdon were more than happy with Bianca as their future daughter-in-law.

That morning, Jean had wanted to go to the interview at the company with Bianca, but something came up and he could not join her.

Bianca got into Nina’s car and sat in the passenger’s seat, wearing her seatbelt.

“Do you know what my mom said last night after you left with my brother?” Nina asked.

“What did she say?” Bianca was worried that Jean’s parents would not like her.

“My mom said, ‘Look at Bianca! She’s fair and beautiful, gentle and sweet. Now look at you! Why are you two different? You lay about at home, you’re rough like a man, and you swear like a sailor!” Nina could not help but touch her friend’s soft face as she said that, clicking her tongue. “The air out there sure is good for your skin.”

“As if! You’ve never left home before, so you don’t know how tough it is.” Bianca smacked her naughty hand away. “Focus on the road.”

The two of them chatted on the way.

It was more than forty minutes past eight when they reached T Corporation.

“I hope my brother isn’t late. The boss is a heartless tyrant, you know!” Nina muttered to herself as she lowered her head and hurried her brother on WeChat.

A heartless tyrant? Nina was making Bianca nervous now too.

She turned on her phone and went online, searching up information on the boss of T Corporation again. She was hoping that she might find something that could help her during the interview.

Most of the stuff she found online was nothing more than baseless rumors about the rich and famous.

The president of T Corporation, part of Crawford Industries, was a man called Luke Crawford. He was 29 years old this year, but no one knew if he was single or married. No members of the press had yet to find out anything about his private life all this time.

Actually, the Crawford name still held a little significance for Bianca.

However, those were just her innocent childish fantasies from her past. By now, she had long since buried those dreams in the deepest corner of her heart.

The news also reported that there was a huge incident five years ago when the two Crawford sons fought over the family business.

Louis Crawford, the legitimate heir that the outside world had acknowledged, was suddenly removed overnight.

On the other hand, Old Master Crawford suddenly adopted another unknown heir to the Crawford name, Luke Crawford, and the latter successfully took over the family business, eventually inheriting the dying Crawford Industries.

An unknown heir to the Crawford name…

The author of the article was subtly hinting that Luke Crawford was, to put it bluntly, an illegitimate son of the wealthy family.

Bianca looked at her phone thoughtfully.

…

The T Corporation tower was so tall that it immediately intimidated anyone the moment they stepped into it.

Jean was in a rush to get here. He had read up on the company’s history before, and when he saw how huge the building was now, he grew inevitably worried.

He did not want to embarrass himself in front of Bianca.
