Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 529

Chapter 529 The Man In Front of Him Is A Devil!

They were in utter disbelief when they found out that the man in the conference room was not Luke Crawford, the CEO of T Corporation, but Luke Crowford, the general manager of a medium-scale company.

‘How uncanny!

'How could two people look and sound so alike, and how could their names be so suspiciously similar?'

With the facts laid in front of them, they had no choice but to believe it.

Half an hour later, a group of police officers entered the conference room, bringing with them the disgraced Mr. Schmidt in handcuffs.

Peyton Schmidt was a man in his fifties. He still carried the demeanor of someone in a position of power for a long time, but his face was haggard, his eyes were lifeless, and his body was shriveled. It seemed that prison life took a toll on his physical and mental health.

"Look at that man, Peyton Schmidt. Is he the Luke Crawford whom you have dealings with?" The male officer asked sternly.

Peyton lifted his head weakly and started to carefully examine the handsome and cavalier man in front of him.

When Peyton looked at that face, his clouded eyes sparkled to life.

Scenes from the past flashed in his mind.

Over the years, he had accepted bribes from countless people.

He had lost count of the amount of ill-gotten gains he received.

He had used certain tactics to prevent himself from being exposed as well as implicate everyone who had bribed him.

Basically, he had secretly recorded every act of bribery.

He could not remember most of the people who had bribed him, except for Luke Crawford, who had left a lasting impression.

That was not only because Luke Crawford was the youngest person who had bribed him, but the young man also had an unforgettably handsome face.

Ten years ago, Peyton was the City Secretary of A City, and his future was bright.

A young and handsome man had come to look for him with a briefcase full of tea leaves.

The man was polite, intelligent, and eloquent. His goal was to acquire several plots of undeveloped land.

Being an experienced politician, Mr. Schmidt knew that the tea leaves were but a smokescreen.

He was even more surprised when he saw the neat stacks of banknotes under the tea leaves. That was five million dollars.

Peyton could only find it incredible!

He had asked the young man the purpose of acquiring those plots of land. Without skipping a beat, the young man said that he intended to go into the property business. He wanted to build high-class residential units and a large-scale commercial center.

Peyton had wondered if the young man was insane. It would be a waste of five million dollars to acquire those barren plots of land and develop them!

Those plots of land were very far away from the city center, and surrounding them was nothing but muddy marshland. How was he going to develop it into a commercial center?

Peyton had planned to build a wastewater treatment center there.

However, he was only in charge of receiving the bribes and changing the zoning.
