Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 808

Chapter 808 Bianca Was The Apple Of His Eye

Susan continued to drink her tea, but in her heart, she despised Allison even more than before.

This woman really did not have the slightest bit of shame. Not only did she becZachary Crawford's mistress, but she also encouraged Old Master Crawford to remove her son's original spouse so that other more powerful women could take the top spot. She did whatever it took to achieve her goal.

At this time, she was somewhat sympathetic to Bianca.

Although Susan and Bianca did not see each other often, she had been maintaining a hostile attitude toward Bianca as she was Allison's daughter- in-law. She had done unforgivable things to Bianca out of the hatred in her heart.

There was no denying that Bianca was definitely a gentle and virtuous wife.

She and Luke Crawford were the epitof a 'loving' couple. She fought alongside him in the business scene while also being independent and strong enough that Luke's accident two years ago did not affect her one bit. She still lived elegantly. She was definitely Susan's most ideal daughter- in-law candidate.

However, it was a pity the woman was not blessed with good luck. She was unfortunate to have Allison, a muddled, mean, and selfish woman, as her mother-in-law. She worked herself to the bone for the Crawford family and even gave birth to their children, but the moment the Crawford family faced a major crisis, she was still not saved from being renounced by the family.

This was the sad reality of being the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family.

In the evening, after Old Master Crawford had his dinner, he went to the garden outside the courtyard for a walk with his cane. He was accompanied by the maid. After digesting his food, he then returned to

the living room and sat down on the couch.

While digesting, he had been thinking about the words of his youngest daughter-in-law, Allison.

If the girl from the Douglas family, Maxine, was really interested in Luke, then it might be a good thing if he could facilitate their marriage. After all, the Douglas family was much more influential than the Normans in the capital. 1

If the Douglas family could intervene in the collapse of The Galleria, then the matter would be solved. He would definitely get twice the results with half the effort.

In contrast, Jack Norman was merely the secretary of the provincial party in A City, while Irving was the first in command in the capital. It was quite obvious who the bigger fish was.

Moreover, T Corporation had been in trouble for so long but Jack Norman and his wife had not really helped out Luke much, if at all. What was the use of such in-laws?

Bianca had been a part of the Crawford family for so many years. Her hard work and contribution to the Crawford family, as well as her loyalty to Luke, were completely ignored by Master Crawford.

Although he was 120 percent satisfied with his granddaughter-in-law, deep inside, Old Master Crawford was still a shrewd old businessman who placed his self-interest above all else.

When faced with major decisions to be made, he would not be as impulsive and emotional as young people. He would only make choices that were in his best interest.

The old man also thought that no matter what, Bianca had given birth to three smart and intelligent children for the Crawford family. Even if she and Luke got a divorce, the Crawford family would definitely not treat her poorly. When it ctto give her alimony, she would surely be given enough to last her for a lifetof luxury.

After having that thought, he suddenly becmore determined with his choice.

Not long after, the middle-aged butler hurriedly cin. "Old Master, the young master called. In the study."

Old Master Crawford replied with a hum and handed his tea to the maid at the side.

The maid took the teacup and gently set it down on the coffee table. She then helped the old man walk toward the study.

The study was on the first floor. It was a video call hooked up to the internet.

A black microphone was attached to the screen.

Luke's figure was shown on the screen. The video was crisp and clear.

There was a thick stack of documents and folders on his desk. He was in the middle of a busy day.

Old Master Crawford did not wait for his grandson to speak first. He immediately asked, "Luke, how’s it going with the company's matters? Why did you delay handling them for so long? You do realize that the longer you wait, the greater the impact will be on T Corporation? You've always been a wise child. After being in the business for so many years, surely you must know how to handle this sort of incident? But this time... you've really letdown!"

Despite being faced with the painful accusations and questioning tone from his grandfather, Luke responded coldly, "Grandpa, you’ve retired. You don't have to care too much about these matters anymore. Just enjoy your golden years and lethandle this. I have my way of doing things, and I'm sure it won't be long before I give you a satisfactory answer."

Noticing his grandson's lack of interest in talking about business matters, Old Master Crawford knew he was being obstinate. He could only change the topic to personal matters. "Luke, what do you think of

this girl, Maxine Douglas?"

Luke's eyebrows knitted together as he nonchalantly replied, "I'm not familiar with her, and for women I'm not familiar with, I don't have any interest in knowing them."

However, Old Master Crawford was interested. He grinned and said, "My boy Luke, Maxine call the way from the capital to intern in your company. She’s a famous foreign university student. She comes from a good family, and she’s a very capable person. The girl is talented and beautiful. All she wants is to just intern in your company for a short while, so why aren't you even interested in her in the slightest? Just let her intern in your company, I think she’s quite good." "Why does it matter to me? There are tons of students coming back from overseas who’ve applied to our company. All of them have PhDs at the very least. She simply does not meet the recruitment qualifications that we set..."

He had a very vague impression of a woman called Maxine. He could not even remember what she looked like.

The only woman he remembered well was his wife.

Although Bianca was stubborn, defiant, and sometimes at odds with him, she was the only love of his life.

Old Master Crawford saw that his grandson did not seem to be the least bit interested in Maxine. He trembled and beca little anxious. "Luke, the collapse of The Galleria must be resolved within a week, or I’ll never forgive you! Do you realize that as you delay taking any action during this period of time, T Corporation's stock will continue taking a nosedive? We’ll soon be at risk of liquidation! You should know better than anyone else the crisis we’re facing right now. I can see that this girl is interested in you. I’ve discussed it with your mother. If you just divorce Bianca and marry Irving Douglas’ daughter, then the company will definitely be saved..."

Luke's eyes instantly becice-cold before Old Master Crawford could finish his words.

He simply no longer wanted to listen to his grandfather's ramblings and ended the video call.

The next second, the screen turned gray.

Old Master Crawford called again, but the screen showed that the call could not be connected. He was so angry that he almost jumped in a fit of rage.

On the other side, Luke unplugged his microphone. Thud. It fell heavily on the desk. His face was cold and stern.

The reason why he was working with such trepidation and dedication was that he did not want to be like his father, Zachary Crawford. His father's every action had been dictated by his grandfather, who had a strong desire to control everything.

Luke would never in his life use his marriage to a woman to save the company!

Bianca was the apple of his eye. He swore he would do anything to protect her!
