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

Chapter 807 If the Crawfords and Douglases Are United By Marriage...

Luke's mind was occupied by other troubles. He could not be bothered to wonder what was going on between the

two of them.

He nodded at the two women, then went to the balcony and lit a cigarette.

"Mr. Crawford, I've already put the contracts you asked for on your desk. If there's nothing else, I'll be back to my

office," Tina said politely.

"Mm," Luke replied nonchalantly. Tina shot a warning glance at Mavis before turning around and leaving.

After that, only Luke and Mavis were left in the office.

Luke was standing at the balcony. One of his hands rested on the railing while the other held a cigarette.

His silhouette was sharp against the bright blue sky. He looked like he was the ruler of the entire concrete jungle

under his feet.

He stood there without saying a word, emanating the bearing of an overlord.

Mavis greedily locked her eyes on his handsome face.

That man made all other men feel inferior. He was elegant, noble, and gentlemanly, but his character was assertive

and dominating.

She had worked for him for more than ten years, but she had never known his true character.

She did not know what he wanted.

The man seemed to hide all his emotions in front of other people. Of course, he had his tender moments too, but

those were not for her but for a woman she hated and envied.

Mavis's mind wandered to the bathroom. The only thing she could think of was Luke, naked and in that woman's

embrace.

She could not help but blush when she saw him standing right in front of her, but at the same time, she felt an

inexplicable sense of euphoria rising in her heart.

Luke frowned slightly when he noticed that Mavis was staring at her without saying a word. "Is there anything, Ms.

Laviere?" 1

Mavis came to her senses when she heard his ice-cold voice.

She coughed to hide her embarrassment. "Mr. Crawford, many clients have distanced themselves from us because

of the incident at The Galleria, and Blatt Corporation has won most of them over. If this goes on, I think..."

Luke raised a hand to stop her from talking. "I've already mentioned in the meeting earlier that we don't need

opportunistic clients like those. When they eventually come back to us, we won't conduct business with them either.

Have you completed the task that I assigned to you?" "Mm. Our informer in Blatt Corporation said that he went to

Country R to negotiate airspace privileges." "Oh?" Luke blew a smoke ring, chuckled coldly, and went back to his

seat. ” Looks like they're really taking us head-on." "Mr. Crawford, if they manage to take away our airspace

privileges, the consequences would be unimaginable..."

Luke flicked his cigarette and smiled mockingly. "Vincent's appetite is getting bigger, heh. Too bad for him, despite

his many years of experience in the field, he doesn't realize the bigger threat behind him..."

When Mavis heard that, she knew that her boss must have laid a trap for Blatt Corporation.

The man was unpredictable as always. She was quite eager to see what would happen to Blatt Corporation.

Crawford Manor.

After dinner, Old Master Crawford sat in the living room and enjoyed some tea. His once-handsome face did not

seem senile or forlorn despite his old age. Instead, he seemed more stern and authoritative.

He was visibly nervous.

The veteran businessman was unsettled by the accidents that beset T Corporation. However, he was already

retired, and he did not have any influence in the business circle now.

Susan sat on his right. She seemed to be at ease.

She sipped her tea daintily while clutching a rosary in her other hand. She seemed to be unperturbed by mortal

worries.

Allison sat on Old Master Crawford's left.

She did not stop complaining about her son. "Dad, why don't you give Luke a call and scold him? I'm his mother,

and look at how he treats me. I'm literally penniless now. When I asked him to give me some money for an

emergency, he only transferred three million dollars... that's not even enough for me to eat! I know that T

Corporation is facing a crisis now, but that's no reason to mistreat me, right?"

Old Master Crawford slammed the teacup heavily on the table. "Three million dollars is a fortune for a normal

family. You know that T Corporation is facing a crisis; you don't give him any help, but instead trouble him with your

petty demands. How dare you complain about him to me? Why does Luke have a mother like you? Are you satisfied

only when T Corporation folds? If Luke goes bankrupt, you won't even have three million dollars! You ought to learn

from Susan, Allison..."

Allison was instantly furious, though she dared not throw her tantrums in front of Old Master Crawford.

She could only sheepishly shut her mouth. However, she soon thought of something and ventured, "I'm equally as

worried as you about T Corporation, Dad, but it's not like there's no solution. Do you remember Maxine from the

capital? She's the youngest daughter of my cousin. My cousin Irving is an influential politician in the capital. If he

gives the word, it'll be too easy to solve T Corporation's problems."

Old Master Crawford pressed his lips together. "Do you mean Irving Douglas? Our families rarely interact. You might

be his cousin, but I've never seen him help you or the Crawford family before."

He was referring to the time when Allison had inserted herself in Zachary's marriage, Susan hired some people to

teach her a lesson and drive her out of A City. That time, Allison was penniless and helpless. Irving did not save her

back then, so why would they save the Crawfords now?

Allison narrowed her gaze. "I can see that Maxine is interested in Luke. Say, if we get Luke to marry Maxine,

wouldn’t the Douglas family help us then?"

Susan chuckled audibly, thinking that Allison was as shameless as she could get. How could she find a mistress for

her own son and ruin their happy marriage?
