Chapter 1025 Didn't Want To Doubt Her
Bianca watched Luke drive away and closed the door of the villa.
She had a hunch that the truth behind the break-in of Crawford Manor would soon be revealed.
"Mommy?" Tommy woke up in her arms.
Seeing that Tommy had woken up, Bianca put him on the ground and touched his little head as shesaid, "You're up? Do you want to have some fruit?" "Yeah!" Tommy looked around and did not seeLuke, so he asked, "Where's Daddy?" "He has something to attend to and has to go back to thecompany." Bianca took his hand and walked into the living room.
When he heard that, Tommy became nervous and asked, "Will Daddy be busy tomorrow?"
Bianca took out an apple from the refrigerator. She smiled and promised Tommy. "Don't worry, nomatter how busy we are tomorrow, we're taking you to the amusement park.”
Tommy clapped his hands happily. He stood by the side while waiting for Bianca to peel and cut theapples into slices. He picked up a slice and said as he ate, "Thank you, Mommy."
Seeing Tommy's lively and cute appearance, Bianca felt grateful that Tommy had not left his bedroomin the middle of the night on the day of the incident.
She sat on the sofa and felt a sense of warmth as she looked at Tommy eating an apple. Suddenly, herphone rang.
Bianca glanced at it and saw that it was a string of unfamiliar numbers.
She answered the call. Hello, who's calling?" "Sister, this is Leia!" Leia's voice came from the other endof the phone.novelbin
Bianca was stunned that Leia was calling her.
Leia was smart and did not use her phone to make this call because she was worried that Biancawould not answer it if she saw her name. Instead, she used Brody's phone "Leia..." Bianca asked in acalm tone, "What's the matter?"
Leia would never reach out if she did not need something. Even if she needed something, it would takea lot for her to reach out to Bianca.
Leia said straightforwardly, "Sister, can you accompany me to try on wedding dresses on Monday?""Monday?" Bianca frowned. She did not expect that Leia would actually want her to get involved. Leiadid not seem like the forgiving kind.
"Yes, Monday. I can't deal with the weekend crowd, so I plan to go on Monday, but all of my friendshave to work. Bea, please go with me and share your opinions. You’ve been married before so you'dknow what kind of wedding dress is the most comfortable to wear. I have faith in you." Leia did not giveher a chance to refuse and blurted everything out in one breath. "So, it's decided. Monday, MishalBridal Shop. I'll see you there."
Before Bianca could reply, the call was cut off.
She massaged her forehead and sighed.
"Mommy, what happened? Are you feeling unwell?" Tommy leaned against her when he saw her reactas such and asked with concern.
Bianca shook her head and handed him a slice of apple as she said, "I'm okay. Here, have anotherslice of apple."
Tommy took it and continued to eat.
The other side.
Luke drove to T Corporation. It was a weekend, so there were no other employees there except thesecurity guards.
Gordan was sitting on the sofa in the lobby of the company with his legs crossed. He was waiting forLuke. When he saw Luke walking over, Gordan stood up and said, "Ugh. You asked me to come overas soon as possible, but you're late! What did you find out?" "Let's talk upstairs." Luke walked to theexclusive elevator and pressed the button.
Although there was no one in the lobby, there were security guards patrolling the building all the time.Before they could confirm the details of what had happened, he did not want others to be involved.
Gordan stood up, yawned, and followed him.
In the office.
Gordan sat on the sofa and sighed, "You sure know how to enjoy life. This leather sofa that’s importedfrom Italy is so comfortable." "When this is done and dusted, I'll get you one." Luke turned on thecomputer.
Gordan gave a thumbs up and replied, "What a great friend! I'll make sure I cover all grounds with thisinvestigation. I won't accuse a good person, but I won't let a bad person go!" "Let's talk business." Lukesat on the executive chair and looked at his friend. "I went to her mansion today." "What did you find?"
Gordan became more alert. He was sure that Luke summoned him over because he had discoveredsomething.
"There's only one suspicious place-the study of the mansion, which contains a safe imported fromGermany. It's the latest product," Luke said.
Gordan raised his eyebrows. He knew about safes like that. These high- tech products werechallenging to even world-renowned thieves, who would not be able to crack the safes before the alarmwent off.
The price of a product like this matched its top-notch quality.
Gordan rubbed his hands and said, "Even if I sneak in, I won't be able to crack the code. Can't I getexplosives to blow up the safe?"
Luke looked at him with a cold expression.
Gordan trembled and realized that he was being silly. He said cheekily, "Of course not. I'll continue tofigure out how to get her dashcam footage."
Luke nodded and said, "Have you thought about how we're going to find the thief?" "The lost antiqueshave not appeared on the black market. If... If this matter has something to do with your mother and wewant to find the thief, I'm afraid you'll have to start with the cash that she took. We need to get ourhands on her dashcam, but it’s a bit difficult considering that she doesn't go out,” Gordan frowned andsaid.
He had never seen a rich lady staying at home all day long.
Luke was typing on the keyboard, writing some emails. Hearing the distress in Gordan’s voice, Lukesaid, "You can figure it out yourself." "You're making me jump through hoops for this leather sofa. She's
your mother, do you have any ideas? I would prefer it if I didn’t have to sneak it. The security system inher villa is quite good, I can't do it without backup," Gordan said with his legs crossed in front of him.
Luke said, "You're just lazy."
It was not impossible for Gordan to sneak in, but he had to put in more effort.
If he were a thief, he would probably have done a much better job than the one who broke intoCrawford Manor.
"You don't have to be so blunt. She's your mother, I’m sure you can find a way to get her out of thehouse." Gordan urged Luke. As long as he could get his hands on the dashcam, it was just a matter oftime before the truth would come to light.
"Okay, I’ll think of a way," Luke said and then picked up his phone to call the workshop.
He mentioned his name and said that Allison's car needed maintenance.
He requested for them to bring the car away for maintenance.
He was the one who bought Allison's car so it was under his name. He also covered the insurance andeverything else. As soon as Luke said that, the staff from the workshop went to take care of the matter.
Gordan watched him hang up the phone and clapped his hands. "That's smart! Why didn't you sharethis good idea earlier on?"
Luke turned around and looked at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. He could see theentire A City from here.
"I didn't want to doubt her." His voice was indifferent. If he had not seen the safe, he would not be doingthis.
Allison was his biological mother. If she really did such a thing, he would not be able to understandwhy.
