Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 735

Wayne grunted nonchalantly. "Don't you have anything else to do lately, Vince? You rarely meddle in my business."

He was not the pushover third son that he used to be.

As lowly as he was in the past, he was now on top of the chain of command.

The populous Blatt family had a massive family business with more than a century of history. Naturally, a family like that would place importance on the preservation of their main bloodline. They were a weak and unremarkable branch and had been bullied and oppressed by the main family.

All three brothers were competitive and ambitious. They were not going to yield to others so easily.

The three brothers joined forces and, in the short span of a few years, eliminated the other branches of the family one by one.

Victor Blatt, the eldest brother, was successful in the military circles. Vincent, the second brother, was an influential figure in the business circles. Wayne, the youngest brother, wielded considerable influence in the underworld. That was how they achieved their current position.

Vincent grabbed Wayne's shirt collar, and a hint of anger flashed on his usually gentle face. "I'm not in the mood for joking, Wayne. Tell me honestly. Are you involved in Luke Crawford's accident? Are you behind the recent flight accident?"

Noticing that his elder brother was truly angry, Wayne toned down his brazen attitude. He brushed his brother's hands away and said impatiently, "So what if I'm involved in it? I've never liked that Crawford guy anyway. Moreover, he's your business rival, and T Corporation has been snatching your clients over the years. Don't you hate him? Shouldn't you be happy that I got rid of him for you? Also, don't think that I don't know you've been trying to court that man's beautiful wife. She's already used goods with three children. Why do you even bother with her? You can get any woman you want with your status and wealth."

"You don't have the right to meddle in my business! If Luke Crawford were so easily eliminated, why would he reappear in A City two years later as though nothing happened? I've gone head to head with Luke Crawford before, and he's a formidable opponent. Even I have to admit defeat when I go up against him. What makes you think that you can kill him? You idiot!"

Vincent kicked at Wayne's knee, but the latter dodged the attack nimbly and said cruelly, "He's not as mystifying as you say he is, Vince. I blew his brains out with a bullet! I don't know how he survived it, but he won't be as lucky next time. If one bullet didn't work, a few more bullets ought to do the trick. I'll make sure that he's dead this time…"

Vince, who was usually composed, was angered once again. "You insufferable idiot! You'd better not let Luke Crawford find any of your dirt. Otherwise, the Blatt family will never know another day of peace!"

Wayne sat on the couch and placed his legs on the coffee table. "Don't worry, Vince. I know how to clean up after myself, and no one will ever find incriminating evidence of what I've done. I won't bring any trouble to the family, Vince. We've grown up together. Don't you know what I'm capable of doing?"

Vincent glanced at him and smiled ambiguously. "Do you think that you're the one who cleans up the mess after your antics? I'm the one who has to deal with the fallout! You're almost thirty years old, and it's about time that you stop fooling around and find a proper woman to marry.

"Also, you'd better distance yourself from the adoptive daughter of the Normans as soon as you can. She might seem obedient and pliable, but she's more dangerous than you think. Otherwise, she'll be the cause of your downfall one day! You'd better go and hide in Victor's barracks or somewhere overseas for a while. Come back when it's safer."

However, Wayne frowned impatiently in response to his elder brother's advice. "Mind your own business, Vince. I'm only messing with that Norman woman, and I've never thought of marrying her. I was a soldier for eight years, and I'm already bored with military life. I won't ever return to the barracks.

"I don't mind going overseas, but it won't be any time soon because I have some unfinished business here. Don't worry, Vince, Luke Crawford won't find out that it's me. I've always kept my trail clean, and even if he does, I believe that Vic and you will take care of him for me."
