Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3431 Go Far Down The Path Of Self-destruction

"Alright. Ouch, it hurts when you flick me, Lanie!" Tommy pouted.

"Don't cry. You were just saying you'd protect your sister, and now, you're crying? What's going on?" Lanie rubbed Tommy's forehead. "Alright, I've rubbed it. Stop crying."

"Heh, Lanie, you're the best to me!" Tommy immediately beamed with happiness.

"The whole grandma situation is over. From now on, let's just behave ourselves and wait for Daddy and Ms. Luca to come back," Lanie told his younger siblings.

Even though their parents were not around, he had taken on the responsibility of being the elder brother. Despite being the same age as Rainie, he was much more mature.

"Yes, I'll listen to Great-Grandpa and you, Lanie!" Tommy nodded eagerly.

After Jason hung up on Allison, he let out a deep sigh.

Sue walked over with a plate of fruits and placed it beside him. "What's with that look? Have some fruits."

Jason picked up a toothpick, speared a piece of fruit, and brought it to her mouth.

Sue opened her mouth and ate the fruit, then urged, "Stop just feeding me. You eat too."

"Okay." Having been by Luke's side for so many years, Jason had dealt with countless tricky situations. However, Allison's issues were the one thing that always gave him a headache.

Although a hundred thousand dollars was not a lot compared to Luke's net worth and it would make Luke appear a little stingy if news got out, it was actually plenty for someone like Allison.

The problem was that Allison was always stirring up trouble. Luke was basically punishing her with that amount.

Jason understood her temperament well. If she was given too much, she would probably create even more problems.

All in all, a hundred thousand dollars might be a little for Allison, but it was enough for her to live. "What happened?" asked Sue, noticing his downcast expression. "Did your boss scold you?"

"His mother scolded me." Jason then explained everything about Allison to her.

"What?! A hundred thousand dollars isn't enough for her?" Sue was speechless.

"We're a family of four, and even including our parents' expenses, we don't spend anywhere near a hundred thousand dollars a month. How much can she possibly need if she's just on her own?"

"Exactly! This is also the boss' way of making sure she doesn't cause any more trouble. He has given her enough to live on, and since he's busy and can't keep an eye on her, this is his way of preventing her from making more drama. But she's not satisfied." Jason was rendered speechless too.

"Well, it's enough. Anyway, this is your boss' plan. Don't overthink it and just focus on doing the tasks he gave you," Sue said optimistically.

She did not press further on what Lake was busy with and started sharing what happened at the company today. Jason listened while replying to Luke's messages.

When he heard about Karen causing a scene, his brows furrowed together. "Why do I feel like Madam Mallory is a lot like Madam Allison's?"

"Who knows... But the worst thing Madam Allison has done so far is disfigure herself and steal from her own family. She hasn't gone as far down the path of self-destruction as Madam Mallory has," replied Sue, having analyzed what both Karen and Allison had done.

The two situations were completely different in nature.

"Yes, it's much easier to just lock her up in a mental institution," Jason agreed.

Currently, it was a critical time for Luke, and this matter required Percy's involvement. Therefore, Percy could not be distracted by other trivial matters.

Locking Karen up in a mental institution would make things simpler for Percy, allowing him to focus without needing to keep an eye on Karen. This way, he could also allocate more resources and manpower to the task at hand.

"Well, I still need to inform the boss about this," added Jason, dialing Luke's number again.

When Luke learned of Karen's hostage situation with Nina, his brows furrowed together.

Fortunately, Nina was unharmed. Otherwise, he might have had to deploy more people to manage things with Percy.

It was not that he did not care about Percy's situation, but the Island of Despair's matter was the top priority at the moment.

Luke hung up the phone and received a text from Luca.

[Abel has returned to the base.]

Luke's heart tightened as he replied: [Be careful.]

Abel's return to the base seemed like a signal.

A signal that preparations were underway...

Luca: [He asked me to go over. I'll check out the situation on his end first.]

Luke put down his phone. "Abel has returned to the base."

"The battle is about to begin." Gordan, hearing this, could not help but say something dramatic. He felt oddly pumped up.

Gale rolled his eyes at him. "What's with your teenage angst? Can you drop it already?"

"Heh, I just haven't had any action for a while, so I'm excited. Plus, after Luca's treatment, I'm almost fully recovered. Now, it's time for those losers to see the might of my sharpshooting skills," replied Gordan as he made a shooting gesture.

"You make it sound so easy, but who was the one crying for his mom during the treatment?" teased Gale.

"I don't know what you're talking about. It wasn't me," Gordan quickly denied it.

"Let's wait and see. Luca is on his way to meet Abel. We'll know soon enough if he's making a move," replied Luke. "Alright, we'll wait for Luca's news." Gordon whistled.

After Gerald informed Luca to come downstairs, she appeared soon after.

Abel was sitting on the couch, holding a cigar in one hand and embracing Hera with the other.noveldrama

Hera was nestled in his arms, looking demure and full of charm. Her smile and expression were captivating, drawing the attention of everyone in the room.

The men from the gulp of Despair, who were standing in the living room, saw Hera and could not help but swallow.

However, they did not dare stare for too long. They were afraid that Abel would notice and punish them for lingering

Hence, the men in the living room pretended to casually glance at her while secretly admiring her beauty.

Hera was not offended by the attention.

After all, whether it was one man or many, they were all looking at her. It did not make much difference to her. However, when these men saw Luca, their expressions instantly turned serious. They lowered their heads and remained silent like kids caught doing something wrong. It was almost as though they had been subdued by Luca.

Still, why?

Clearly, Hera was far more enchanting than Luca, yet the moment she stepped into the room, these men all bowed their heads in submission.

Luca stood to the side, greeting Abel in a cool, indifferent tone. "Good evening, Mr. Abel."

While everyone else called him "boss", she alone referred to him as "Mr. Abel". Hera could not help but wonder why Luca had such a special way of addressing him, and why this moody, unpredictable man did not seem to mind. Her gaze turned to Abel at the thought of this. As expected, he was not angry.

In fact, the corners of his lips curled into a smile as though something good had just happened. "You're grinning like you just hit the jackpot. Did something good happen?" Hera asked sweetly. Abel fixed his gaze on her, then nodded. "Yes, something good did happen."
