Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Chapter 193 Finally, She Arrives At the Small Town
Old Master Crawford lay on the bed with his eyes closed, listening to the conversation between his daughter-in-law and his
grandson.
In that half a minute, Allison had found an excuse to shift the blame to Susan.
"I've never known that you've suspected me so much... I would tell you if you asked, but you've never asked!"
Allison revealed a pained look, as though she struggled to recall her insufferable past. She started sobbing again, soaking the
napkin with her tears. "I was forced out of A City when I had to leave your birth father.
What else could I do when you were so young? I could only hide in the remotest towns. Susan Armstrong was relentless. She
and her minions could find me no matter where I went!
"Back then, Susan was childless. You should know how much importance a woman married into a wealthy family places on
providing an heir, and you too, Old Master Crawford! And I had to give birth to a boy!
"I don't know if Susan knew that I had given birth to a boy, so I had to hand you to an orphanage to protect you. At least you'll
receive good care over there. It's better than running and hiding in constant fear... I didn't know if I'd live or die!"
Old Master Crawford frowned when he listened to Allison's barbed words.
His biggest misfortunes were his two daughters-in-law, Susan Armstrong and Allison Tanner.
Susan was born and raised in a wealthy family whose status matched the Crawfords.
However, it was exactly because of Susan's noble and strict upbringing that caused her marriage to fail.
Of course, the main culprits were her husband, who did not know how to appreciate his wife, and the mistress, who seduced a
woman's husband.
Compared to prim and well-mannered Susan, Allison was much more vivacious. Susan could have never learned how to flirt with
a man like how Allison did.
Susan had looked down upon such behavior!

Old Master Crawford wondered since when Susan had stopped being sensible and became an unreasonable shrew.
Perhaps it was since she found out that her husband harbored a mistress and seldom returned home. She did not enjoy the
warmth from family and marriage, and she had to suffer both mental and physical abuse from her husband.
The shameless and despicable mistress had utterly defeated the legally wedded wife, who did not know any underhanded
tactics.
The Armstrong family fell into ruin and could not support Susan, which caused the mistress to be even more brazen. Old Master
Crawford might have stood behind Susan, but no matter what he did, he could not help her win back her husband's heart.
It was as though Susan found comfort in her madness.
Old Master Crawford always knew which of his daughters-in-law had a magnanimous exterior but a wicked heart, and which one
had a venomous exterior but a kind heart.
Naturally, Old master Crawford did not believe what Allison said.
He knew that Allison sent her son to an orphanage not to protect him.
Instead, she did not want him to be a burden when seducing Zachary!
Old Master Crawford opened his eyes and looked at his grandson at the door with an unfocused gaze.
"Luke, come here and listen to your grandfather..."
Allison paused her sobbing for a few seconds. She wanted to hear how Old Master Crawford would resolve the incident. She
hoped that her act would gain her some sympathy from the patriarch.
Luke was worried about Bianca, but he also did not wish to see his grandfather's life in danger.
Old Master Crawford gathered his strength as he watched his grandson walk toward the bed. He furrowed his brows and said, "If
you tarnish the reputation of the Crawford family, I wouldn't be able to rest in peace..."
"It's not as serious as you think, Grandfather. You should rest and recuperate," Luke said calmly as he tucked his grandfather in
the blanket.
Old Master Crawford was fond of his eldest grandson, who spoke confidently and never disappointed anyone.

As long as his eldest grandson gave the word, the matter would be handled to his satisfaction.
He had to admit that he was starting to nag. "I've always recognized that Bianca is my daughter-in-law. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have
rushed to the Tanners and demanded them to hand her over when I knew that she was to be married to Xavier..."
Luke nodded. From that incident, he could tell that his grandfather was satisfied with Bianca.
He had never doubted that.
Old Master Crawford continued, "However, Bianca is that Tanner kid's lawfully wedded wife. Their marriage is protected under
the law! I'm telling you this because I'm afraid that you might act out of impulse and make a grave mistake!"
"I wont. I know what to do." Luke stood next to the bed dressed neatly in a business suit, which comforted Old Master Crawford a
lot.
Allison could hear that the conversation was not progressing the way she wanted, so she immediately interjected. "Do you still
believe his words, Father? This morning, Luke... woke up on Bianca's bed! In other words, he was sleeping with someone else's
wife!"
Luke cast a sullen glance on his mother.
Allison ignored it. "If you allow him to do so, how different would he be from what I did with his father back then? Zachary and I
have admitted to our mistakes, Father, and Zachary has regretted his actions. All I hope for is for Zachary to be able to rest in
peace..."
Old Master Crawford closed his eyes. After a long time, he sighed. "Listen to your grandfather, Luke. As long as Bianca remains
married to that Tanner kid, you should hold fast to your principles. We cannot be the subject of ridicule..."
"Do you still agree that Luke should go with Bianca, Father?" Allison frowned and looked at the stubborn Old Master Crawford.
On the high-speed rail to the small town.
It was not the peak season, and not many travelers were present on the train. Bianca sat in the cabin and looked at the half-
drawn picture on the computer screen.
The other members of her team had gone to the small town by car.

They did not ask her to go along with them. Perhaps they knew that she would be traveling with the boss.
Luke did not appear at the promised time, so she went ahead by herself.
As the train neared the small town, Bianca lifted her eyes from the computer screen and took a few more glances at her
hometown.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Bianca arrived at the small town with a silver two-foot-tall suitcase in tow.
"Hey, Bianca!" A colleague from the HR department had been waiting for her at the station.
As she walked toward Bianca, she said, "I tried calling your phone but couldn't get through."
"Oh? Let me see." Bianca took out her phone from her handbag and noticed that her phone had somehow shut down on its own.
The colleague brought Bianca to a two-story building and handed her a key. "You'll have to stay here for a while. This is the best
place the company can afford to rent. Keep your key safe. Now that I've settled you down, I'll have to rush back to the company.
If you need anything or have any questions, don't hesitate to call me..."
