Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 1058

"Yes, Boss, understood," Jason replied quickly, relieved that his boss was not angry at him.

Luke frowned hard and did not say anything after that. His fingers tapped swiftly on the keyboard.

Jason glanced at the time and said, "Boss, we have a quarterly work meeting in ten minutes."

"Mm," Luke grunted his acknowledgment. The Middle Eastern military was not very cooperative, and they were not willing to divulge any more information on Robert's godson.

He was still communicating with them, hoping that they would tell him more.

After sending the email, Luke frowned and clasped his hands together, waiting for a reply.

Jason knew that he was still searching for Bianca and did not want to disturb him. He walked out of the office and closed the door gently behind him.

Meanwhile, two security guards brought Maxine out of T Corporation. Before she could straighten her clothes, she saw several news vans parked at the roadside.

The logos on the vehicles showed that they were from A City's most prominent media outlets.

Maxine frowned. She quickly went to her car in case they saw her, but she did not drive away. Instead, she looked out of the window and saw several reporters coming out of the vans and standing outside the entrance to T Corporation.

Her car window was open, and she could hear the reporters' conversation. They were there to look for Luke to find out more about Allison.

Maxine's hands gripped the steering wheel tightly. After Abel abducted Bianca, she dared not look for Luke in case he suspected her.

She would not have come to look for him if not that Allison asked her for help.

Seeing the security guards keeping the reporters out of the building, Maxine clenched her fists and slammed down on the steering wheel. She accidentally hit the horn, which attracted the attention of all the reporters.

Maxine quickly let go, fastened her seatbelt, and quickly drove away from the scene.

The reporters lingered at the entrance, hoping that they could catch a glimpse of Luke and obtain information from him.

Maxine wore her Bluetooth headset and gave Hera a call.

"Where are you?" Her sour mood was evident.

"I'm at the hospital. What's up?" Hera was not expecting Maxine to contact her after the deed was done.

Was Maxine going to give her more money? Hera was strapped for cash at the moment.

"Why are you at the hospital? Are you doing another cosmetic surgery procedure again?" Maxine asked. She could guess what Hera was doing.

"How did you know?" Hera was lying on the bed at the moment. She had just finished the consultation session, and the procedure would be done the next day.

With the money from the job, she could afford to stay in a private ward. It was much more comfortable than the three-bedder.

"I'll go and look for you." Maxine ended the call after saying that. She considered that Luke was Hera's senior in high school, so Hera should know some way to win Luke's heart.

Maxine entered Hera's ward twenty minutes later and sat on the couch without saying anything.

Hera sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at Maxine's dark expression and wondering if someone had offended her.

"So are you helping her to persuade Luke?" Hera finally understood why Maxine wanted to look for Luke.

"She's my distant aunt, and I'll need her help if I want to marry Luke in the future. That's why I thought…" Maxine was furious when she remembered the treatment she received at T Corporation. "If she goes to prison, that's one less person on my side!"

Capital Corp had never helped T Corporation in their times of need. Old Master Crawford might not have said anything, but she knew that he was not on her side. In the entire Crawford family, Allison was the only one who could help her.

That was why Maxine had thought of going to persuade Luke to help his mother.

She did not expect that Luke did not even want to see her.

Hera discreetly sized her up. Maxine had been staying abroad since she was young, so her appearance was influenced by European standards.

"When it comes to love and relationships, sometimes you have no one to rely on except yourself," Hera said.

Maxine glared at her. "What do you mean? Are you saying that I'm not capable enough?"

"I didn't mean that." Hera quickly shook her head. "You can tell that Luke's family doesn't have much influence on his decisions. Otherwise, he would not have been able to marry Bianca."

"So what about it? Bianca is going to die anyway." Maxine firmly believed that Abel would be done with Bianca in a few days. She had seen what that man could do.

Hera rested her chin on her hands. "Even if that's the case, it'll be hard for you to approach Luke…"

"That doesn't matter. One day, I'll be Mrs. Crawford!" Maxine's expression was close to maniacal. She believed that if she was persistent enough, she would eventually claim Luke's heart.
