Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 1056

Chapter 1056 Luke Had Lost Bianca

"What do you mean by that? I think dealing with it according to the standard procedure will be for the best. At least, no one will talk crap about it." Susan had been standing at the stairs for quite stime. She had overheard the conversation between the three people. She could not help but interrupt when she heard her son saying that.

"Mom..." Louis turned around to look. 'Why did she cdownstairs?'

After the previous incident, Thea grew paranoid and could no longer sleep on her own. She had to cling to Susan or Yuri before she could fall asleep. Tonight, it was supposed to be Susan's turn to accompany Thea to sleep.

"You shut your mouth!" Susan looked at him, disgruntled. If she had not heard Louis speaking up for Allison herself, she would not believe that her son would side with that woman.

Louis obediently kept quiet, afraid she might cause havoc if she got mad.

Susan walked over with wobbly steps. She had been feeling like she was on cloud nine when she learned that Allison was locked up by the police. It was almost like she had a permanent smile on her face. After coaxing Thea to sleep, she started paying attention to the situation downstairs.

She was worried that Luke would talk the old man into letting Allison off the hook. Hence, she deliberately headed downstairs, just so that Old Master Crawford would not listen to Luke.

Never would she expect that it was her son who was siding Allison, and the person who insisted to have her locked up was Luke.

Susan elegantly sat on the sofa and glanced at Louis. Clearing her throat, she said, "Dad, I'm Thea's grandmother and she was a victim of this incident. I have the right to speak my mind, right?"

She knew that the old man despised women who were ill-mannered.

Earlier, she had no choice but to interfere. Now, she needed to seek the old man’s approval to talk, or else, she would be viewed as being impolite.

"Don't go rubbing salt in wounds," Old Master Crawford said with a deep tone. Even though Susan had not said her piece, he knew what she was

about to say.

Susan had no choice but to keep quiet. She had a dark expression on her face and kept inwardly cursing about this injustice. 'Even now, he’s still thinking of protecting a woman like Allison.’

Louis advised, "Mom, you should head upstairs first. If Thea sees that you're not by her side later, she'll be scared." "Why don't you take a proper look and see who was the one who brought all this harm upon Thea? Her father is clueless and doesn’t know how to protect her. In that case, I, her grandmother, have to protect her!" Susan nagged and shifted her gaze to look at Luke.

She had always held a grudge against the Crawford family and Allison. God knew how she wished for all of them to be imprisoned. She even wished that they would spend the rest of their lives in prison without the chance to ever walk free again. That was the only way she would be the true madam of the Crawford family.

Luke's phone vibrated. He clicked into the message and saw that it was news from Gale.

"Grandpa, just let the authorities handle this incident." Once again, Luke expressed his opinion and determination.

Susan smirked when she heard it and was very satisfied with his answer.

"She's your biological mother," Louis could not help but say.

"I'll help hire a lawyer for her if I have to. I'll take good care of the Crawford family's reputation." Luke headed upstairs without turning around. This was his way of carrying out his responsibility as a son.

Old Master Crawford snorted. He knew his grandson's attitude very well. He would not change his mind after having decided. He did not say another word and headed back to his bedroom with his cane.

Susan leaned against the sofa and looked at Louis. She recalled the things he just said and could not help but nag. "Louis, what the hell are you thinking? How dare you say you want to let that woman off the hook?" "Mom, this is a disgraceful thing for the family." Louis did not approve of the way his mother wanted to do things.

"Allison should receive her punishment for the wrong deeds she did. It has nothing to do with whether it’ll disgrace the family. Back then, your dad didn't even consider whether it would be a disgrace to the family when he decided to be with this woman." Susan still bore this grudge till now. It was because she gave birth to her son much later that Allison gained that opportunity.

Louis felt that he could not outwit his mother and showed a cold expression. "I'll head upstairs to have a look at Thea." "Thea is sleeping soundly after taking her medication." Susan also got up and headed upstairs.

She was mean to Allison not just because of the grudge she held but also to help Louis gain more opportunities.

If she could make Old Master Crawford feel utterly disappointed in Luke, Louis would be able to gain more. However, her son was not bothered by any of this. Hence, she had to be the one to make the effort.

It was as if Louis did not hear what she just said. He headed straight into Thea's bedroom. He saw her quietly sleeping and sat at the side of the bed, tucking in her blanket.

Susan walked into the room and softly chased him out. "If you have the tto be here, go spend it with Yuri. Thea is already a big girl now. You guys should plan to have a second child."

This was not the first tshe was bringing this up. Louis was well aware of why his mother wanted him to have a second child. It was so that he would gain more benefits.

He was not at all interested in that. He was satisfied having only Thea. Hence, he got up and ignored Susan's pestering.

After exiting Thea's room, he walked toward the balcony and coincidentally bumped into Luke.

"Hey." Louis walked over to him and did not bring Allison up. He asked," Have you gotten any clues about Bianca's whereabouts?"

He knew that Luke had made up an excuse to go look for Bianca. The atmosphere earlier was too tense and he did not have the chance to ask about it.

"No." Luke looked into the night sky. Gale called earlier, claiming that he had news about Robert's foster son. He said that the latter was shot to death in the Middle East one year ago after being deemed as a rebel.

There was no corpse, no tomb, and only a recording in the military's documents.

The only clue in regards to the Island of Despair was a dead end.

"I can help," said Louis seriously. They were both siblings, so it was only reasonable to help each other out.

Luke glanced at him, and his almond eyes did not show much warmth.

Louis sighed. 'In this world, perhaps only Bianca can give my brother the warmth he needs.'

He dared not think what would happen to his brother if something misfortunate were to happen to Bianca.

"No need for that. You should focus on your work," said Luke. He did not allow Louis to help him.

There were enough people helping him and enough men were looking for Bianca. It was just that Bianca seemed to have poofed into thin air and vanished.

"Luke..." Louis seemed to have more to say.

In this family, everyone always had ulterior motives for each other. Bianca was an exception as she treated everyone sincerely. With those who disliked her, she would not intentionally get close to them nor try to get on that person’s good side. She would always keep an appropriate distance, which made one feel comfortable.

Louis did not wish to lose such a nice sister-in-law. Hence, he wanted to help.

Luke raised his hand and cut him short. "There’s a package in the study. It's a gift from Bea to Thea. Remember to take it later."

He was being firm, which made Louis sigh. He felt that he should not mention it anymore. He just said, "I'll take good care of Lanie, Rainie, and

Tommy." "Thank you." Luke tapped his shoulder and spun around to leave.

Louis walked into the study. The package was left in the middle of the office desk. He picked it up and opened it.

It was a set of ballet attire and the size was perfect for Thea.

He saw the logo of the attire and noticed it was from the sbrand as the one Rainie wore. He hugged the attire in his arms and had mixed feelings deep within him.

"Sister-in-law, you must return safely..." Louis said softly.
