Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 520

Chapter 520 Luke's Handsome Face Blushed Suspiciously

Old Master Crawford nearly choked when he heard what Luke said!

Why did that ingrate not think of how to mend the broken relationship between the Crawford and Norman families, but instead wanted to call off the marriage? That was totally different from what Old Master Crawford had in mind, and that had made him angry.

"Luke, since you were young, I've taught you that you should be a man of your word, and you should be responsible for the promises you make. What do you have to say about your actions? Do you want to be known as an unfaithful man? Do you wish for the Crawford name to be the subject of ridicule? You'll have to marry Leia Norman no matter what!" Veins bulged on Old Master Crawford's face because of his anger. His tone of voice was menacing.

To be frank, Old Master Crawford did not care whether his grandson was unfaithful.

What was more important to him was the financial benefits of the union with the Norman family!

"Grandfather, I will only marry Bianca Rayne and no one else. The engagement with Leia Norman is nothing but an expedient move, and there is no need for that now." Luke lit up a cigarette in front of his grandfather. His nonchalance was infuriating.

"It's your business if you don't care about your reputation, but the Crawford family cannot afford to lose this reputation! All the major newspapers have published the news about your marriage, and countless reporters will come to witness your engagement ceremony tomorrow. If you don't proceed with the engagement, both the Crawford and Norman families will be the laughing stock of the city! Not only will you ruin an innocent girl's life, but you'll also destabilize the stock prices of our family business. Don't you even care about that?" Old Master Crawford tried to talk some sense into his grandson.

However, Luke had already made up his mind, and he was not going to change his decision.

Instead, he said something that made his grandfather's blood boil. "You're already in your golden years, Grandfather. You should enjoy your days instead of meddling in trivial affairs. You shouldn't be emotionally agitated. That will affect your health." "You... you ingrate!' Old Master Crawford was trembling with anger.

He waved his walking stick and was about to strike Luke when Allison quickly stopped him.

"Please don't be angry, Father. You should watch your health. How can you speak like that to your grandfather, Luke? What if your grandfather falls ill? Why would you go against your grandfather's wishes because of that outsider Bianca Rayne? Do you intend to make enemies with the rest of your family?" Allison raised her voice as she reprimanded Luke, trying to make herself sound as sad as possible.

"I am not going to marry Leia Norman. I remember saying that more than once!" Luke said impatiently.

Old Master Crawford took a deep breath.

"What will you do so that you can follow through with the marriage with that Leia girl?" Knowing his grandson's stubbornness, he compromised a little.

Luke frowned.

Knowing that threats would not work, was his grandfather negotiating with him?

However, he did not have the patience to negotiate. "You cannot trade my marriage with any number of terms and conditions. You should give up."

Old Master Crawford continued to persuade him. "You're a smart boy, Luke. You should know better than me about the significance of Leia's background. Her father is gaining political clout, and her mother's business can put up a fight with T Corporation. There will be nothing but benefits if you marry her. Are you not satisfied?" i

Norman Corporation might not be as big as T Corporation, but under Queenie's leadership, it wielded a significant amount of influence on the local economy. Naturally, the heir to the business would be Leia.

Old Master Crawford could tell that Leia might be bright, but she did not have any business sense. With only superficial talents, how was she able to inherit Queenie's legacy?

If the Crawford and Norman families were united by marriage, Luke would eventually take over Norman Corporation.

When the two corporations merged, T Corporation would be elevated to another level.

Old Master Crawford was a veteran businessman, and to him, profits always came first!

Jack was very well-connected and influential in the political scene. With his protection, there was no limit to T Corporation's future.

'There will be a fierce battle tomorrow!'

He went upstairs. In the bedroom, he saw Bianca and the children laughing while reading the top page of a thick stack of documents.

Bianca was not looking at him with her usual admiration and love. Luke was quite confused.

When his gaze fell on the stack of "documents," a blush appeared on his usually impassive face.

It was not a "document." Instead, it was a six-hundred-word essay that he wrote when he was in the sixth grade. Its title was "My Happy Family."

Luke remembered that he came from a broken family, and his mother had dumped him at the orphanage. His family was not happy at all, which was why he handed in this: I do not have a happy family.

Naturally, he received a failing grade for the essay.

The stack of paper also included homework from the other subjects. His grades were horrible.

His mother Allison had greatly affected his childhood behavior. Since young, he knew that his mother had intruded upon another marriage, and the other kids had called him the b*stard child of a mistress. That was a traumatizing experience.

He hated his studies, and he hated school. He had never gotten a passing grade in his exams. That was evidence of his unmentionable past, but somehow, his woman and children had gotten hold of it.

Luke's handsome face was in an uncanny shade of red.

He wished that he could toss the stack of paper into a bonfire. Now that his children had found out about that, how would he remain dignified in front of them?
