Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

"Later, Mr. Crawford found out that Mr. Muller, the butler, had fallen downstairs and fainted. Since the danger outside had been resolved, he cto calldownstairs to check on Mr. Muller's condition," said Luca.

"I know smedical skills, but as soon as | found out that Mr. Muller had fallen, I told Mr. Crawford to call the ambulance. It was only then that | went downstairs to examine Mr. Muller." Luca explained in detail. All of this had been planned out with Luke.

Luke had tampered with the surveillance. Therefore, in the surveillance footage, her descent downstairs occurred after Luke made the emergency call.

The hospital would also have records, so Luca was not worried about any loopholes.

Perhaps due to the nature of the Island of Despair, Luke's and her extra vigilance left no room for anyone to exploit loopholes.

While Luke was about to make the emergency call, Luca had already worked out the timeline with Luke.

The police noted down and asked again, "Do you remember what tit was then?" Luca shook her head. "I don't remember. | was anxious when | found out Mr. Muller had fallen down. Plus, someone intruded into the house earlier. | was scared, so | didn't pay attention to the tat that moment.

"Besides, Mr. Crawford used his own phone to call both the police and the ambulance. So there's no record of the calls on my end." The police officers exchanged glances with each other.

Luca knew that it would seem suspicious if she claimed to remember.

Only claiming ignorance would seem reasonable. It would not sound like her words were made up.

Presumably, the police were asking such questions to tg the credibility of her statement.

However, they were all shrewd individuals and would not be easily tricked.

Luca's statement that she did not know invalidated all their previous preparations.

It was because she was upstairs when the event took place. She did not know what happened that night.

In the surveillance footage provided to them, Luca only cdown the stairs twice.

The first twas when she went downstairs in her pajamas.

The second time, she had changed her clothes upstairs before coming down again. Shortly after, the ambulance arrived.

That was why Luca could perfectly explain everything.

It was perfect. The police could not find any flaws in her statement.

"Officers, is there anything else you'd like to ask?" asked Luca.

Both police officers shook their heads, indicating they had no further questions.

"Alright, then please investigate this as soon as possible. Mr. Crawford is busy with work. He can't stay in X City for long. | chere this tjust to attend an event, and I'll definitely return with Mr. Crawford.

"If you have any more questions, you may contact the police in A City. I'll be sure to cooperate," added Luca.

"Okay. Thank you for your cooperation, Ms. Craw. Let's end it here. We'll leave now and won't disturb you anymore." The two police officers stood up and left.

Luca smiled as she saw them off. She then stood by the window.

From here, she could see Luke cooperating with the police in the yard. He was giving his statement.

Their minds were in sync. As she looked at him, Luke's eyes met hers. She smiled, waving her hand.

As Luke was still outside giving his statement, Luca did not step out. After waving to him, she sat down on the couch and turned on the living room TV.

The sound of the television show filled the room. She switched to the news channel, but before she could watch for long, her phone rang.

Luca glanced at the caller ID. It was a call from Abel.

She lowered the volof the TV and answered the call.

"Gerald toldeverything, Ivana. Are you planning to leave Luke?" Abel's voice cthrough the phone. It was sinister, like a demon emerging from hell.

Luca instinctively glanced outside. No one would be coming in, and it was only then did she respond, "What did he tell you? That | didn't help? | wasn't even aware of your plan last night.

"And while we were at the hospital, Gerald's subordinates were careless and got caught by Luke's men. What was | supposed to do? Speak up for them? If | did that, it would mean | didn't want to stay by Luke's side." Abel listened to Luca's words on the other end of the phone. He actually knew the truth.

Luca did not know their plans. There was no way she could speak up for someone whose story was full of loopholes as that would only raise Luke’s suspicion.

However, since Gerald had reported her to him, Abel could not help but try to cause Luca trouble.

His plans were not going smoothly, and he was eager to vent his frustration.

"You've got sserious sass!" exclaimed Abel.

Luca let out a chuckle. "What do you wantto do? Reveal my identity and leave? With all that's happening now, Luke is perceptive. If I'm not careful, I'll be exposed." "Do you think | don't know that? You're just hoping he finds out, aren't you?" Abel's tone remained chillingly dreadful.

"Yes, | do. | even want to tell him my true identity, but | can't. My daughter is still in your hands. | don't know what others might say, but every action | take serves my purpose.

"Gerald is just a pawn, and those two thieves from last night are insignificant to you. There's no need to vent your anger onjust because you didn't manage to find all the herbs. I've done my best." Luca saw through Abel and laid it all out on the table.

Abel clenched his teeth in hatred, wishing he could tear Luca into pieces! "Cto me!" "I can't cright now. There are police officers investigating what happened last night out there. Oh, by the way, the one causingtrouble is still your underling, Gerald.

"He reported to the police that it was Luke and | who injured the butler. Once this matter is dealt with, I'll be returning to A City with Luke, so | don't have tto go out," replied Luca, turning the tables on Gerald once again.

Abel's expression darkened completely. With a snap, he hung up the phone.

He stormed out of the hotel suite's bedroom.

Gerald stood in the living room, flanked by two burly men with ethnic facial features.

He was sandwiched between them, trembling with fear.

He cto report to Abel. Furthermore, in order to lessen the blfor his own failed mission, he shifted the majority of the responsibility onto Luca.

It was because she did not help him that the mission failed.

After Abel heard this, he did not immediately confront Luca. Instead, he gestured for the two burly men to keep an eye on Gerald while he looked at Gerald with an expression that was hard to read.

Gerald did not know how many minutes had passed until he saw Abel finally make a move. Abel simply left Gerald behind and walked into the bedroom.

After a while, he cout of the room again.

"Boss." Gerald met Abel's gaze while trembling in fear. He could not help but mutter to himself about how frightening that gaze was.

"I just called Ivana," said Abel.

Gerald responded and looked at Abel in confusion, wondering who Ivana was.

"It's Luca," clarified Abel.

"Oh, that woman will definitely claim she had nothing to do with it. Boss, you weren't at the hospital yesterday, so you didn't see how despicable she was!" Gerald hardly needed to think to know what Luca had said.
