Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 523

Chapter 523 Queenie Was Angry, Frustrated, and Distressed

Like a proud princess, Leia held Luke's elbow and walked along the soft red carpet into the hall.

All the guests were gathered there.

Luke smiled elegantly and nodded at the people who greeted him.

He pressed his lips in response to the congratulatory messages, but there was a hint of mockery in his smile.

Countless cameras captured the loving scene, bearing witness to the union of the two influential families.

The Crawford and Norman families sat at separate tables. Every one of them was joyous.

Old Master Crawford, dressed in a navy blue suit, seemed to be in good spirits. The joy on his face was evident. 1

Originally, he had thought that his grandson would not proceed with the engagement after negotiations failed. That had made him unreasonably angry.

He was a control freak. He even thought of resorting to underhanded means so that his grandson would comply. 1

To him, a union of the Crawford and Norman families could only bring them benefits. He would not allow Luke to give up the opportunity for another woman.

He had even hired someone to take him by force, but before that person could make a move, Luke had returned to Crawford Manor, said that he had thought it through, decided that monetary benefits were more important than love, and would proceed with the engagement.

Old Master Crawford was overjoyed.

The only unhappy person in the hall was Queenie.

She stared at the impeccably dressed Luke and was deep in thought.

Dressed in formal clothes, Luke was more handsome and mature than usual. No one in the hall looked as noble as he.

However, Queenie had an ominous feeling that made her feel uneasy.

Leia, her daughter, was holding that man's elbow. Her eyes exuded pure bliss, and one could easily see that she was irredeemably in love.

Luke was the opposite. He should be happy at his engagement ceremony, but he seemed indifferent. There was not a single hint of a smile on his face. 1

The man’s heart did not belong to her daughter at all.

However, Leia was obsessed with that man and would not listen to reason.

Queenie sighed. As Leia's mother, all she hoped was that Luke would not make her daughter sad. She would support her daughter so that Leia could have a place in the Crawford household.

Luke and Leia stepped up to the circular stage in the middle of the hall.

The stage was decorated with bouquets of flowers. A golden microphone was placed in the middle.

The emcee was a famous personality in A City.

His congratulatory words and witty quips earned him thunderous applause.

The emcee handed the microphone to Luke.

Luke stepped away from Leia and stood in the center of the stage.

Camera flashes illuminated the man's handsome features.

At that moment, Leia was very nervous.
