Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 998

Bianca fantasized about the carefree lifestyle after she and Luke retired.

Their hair would have been graying, and they would be living a relaxing life with their children and grandchildren without the troubles from work.

As the sky continued to darken, the family walked back to the mansion.

Old Master Crawford was sipping tea in the living room and watching financial news on the television. Susan and Allison had already retired to their bedrooms because they were not interested in that.

Louis and his family were not in the house. They were at a dinner banquet.

Only Old Master Crawford was in the spacious living room. Bianca looked at Luke and said, "I'll go and help Lanie and Rainie with their homework."

"Mm." Luke nodded and let go of her hand. He went to the couch and prepared to spend some time with his grandfather. "Grandfather."

"How was the walk?" Old Master Crawford turned his head and glanced at Bianca and the three children.

Bianca smiled gently and replied, "I'll go and help the children with their homework."

"Go then." Old Master Crawford nodded and turned his head back to look at the television screen. He had retired from T Corporation, but he kept a close eye on economic trends.

Luke saw that his teacup was already empty. He helped refill his grandfather's cup.

The newscaster was reporting on national tax reforms and analyzing the impact the changes would have on various industries.

"What do you think?" Old Master Crawford asked. Before Luke moved out, they would watch the news together and discuss the various topics.

"The impact won't be too big," Luke said impassively as he listened to the report.

The tax reforms were targeted toward small and medium businesses. The impact on a multinational company like T Corporation was negligible.

Old Master Crawford seemed satisfied with the answer. Evidently, he had come to the same conclusion. "Not bad. Do you know about the changes already?"

"Mm." Not only did Luke know about it, but he had also studied it thoroughly.

"Not bad. What else is the government up to these days?" Old Master Crawford asked.

"I've heard that they're preparing to rezone a piece of land in the east of the city for commercial use." Luke folded his long legs, made himself comfortable, and continued to analyze the situation for his grandfather. "The eastern side is quite close to the main city, and that area is currently undergoing rapid development. It will be very profitable if we can develop the area."

"Mm. If T Corporation manages to acquire the developmental rights, our profits in the next few years will increase greatly. However, you'll have to pay attention to our liquid assets. Don't overspend it on investments," Old Master Crawford said and drained his teacup.

"I know." Luke refilled his cup again. They chatted for a long time.

Ten o'clock was Old Master Crawford's bedtime. He stopped talking and went upstairs to read.

After Old Master Crawford left, Luke remained sitting on the couch and drank tea.

Allison came down the stairs. She frowned when she saw Luke sitting there. The living room would have been vacant if Luke had not come back.

She smiled and walked over. "Why aren't you resting yet, Luke?"

"It's still early." Luke was watching the news on foreign stock markets. He had just sent Thea's measurements to the ballet dressmaker.

"Look at you. You must've gotten those eyebags from the business trip. That's enough financial news for the day. You should go upstairs and rest." Allison pretended to be concerned about him.

With Luke in the living room, she could not record the locations of the security cameras and install the signal jammer.

The caretakers were usually in the living room during the day, so she could not do that. That was why she waited until nighttime.
