Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle



Chapter 3465 Luke Sees Right Through His Little Act

Luke had no idea what kind of mindset the person who poisoned Vivian had. However, he found Gordan's current behavior quite intriguing.

"Luke, what's with that look?" Gordan felt uneasy under his gaze.

"You seem pretty concerned about Vivian," Luke leaned back on the couch and said thoughtfully.

Gordan froze for a moment before laughing it off. "What? No way! Why would I care about her? Come on, Luke, don't say stuff like that. If she hears it, she might start getting ideas."

Luke could not be bothered to expose his act and got straight to the point. "Why are you here?"

"Speaking of that, I almost got sidetracked by that woman." Gordan quickly pulled out his phone, grimacing. "Man, Ray really didn't hold back. I need to get some treatment for these bruises later."

Luke took the phone and tried to unlock it. It needed a passcode. He handed it back. "Unlock it."

"All set, boss." Gordan unlocked the phone and went back to pressing an ice pack against his face.

Luke scanned the screen. His lips tightened into a thin line, and his expression was cold. On the phone was intel about the Island of Despair.

Luke stood up immediately. "I need to check the suite next door."

"Boss, are you going to avenge me?" Gordan was so touched he almost cried.

Luke reminded him, "Didn't you throw a few punches yourself?"

Gordan was rendered speechless. Before barging in, he had indeed thrown plenty of

punches. However, after that, his mind went blank, and he stopped.

Luke added mercilessly, "From what I saw, Ray took quite a beating too. Let's just leave it at that."

"Boss, I went through all this trouble to deliver this intel to you and even got beaten up. And this is how you treat me?" Gordan whined, feeling utterly betrayed.

"Why did Gale send you?" Luke suddenly asked as his sharp eyes locked on him.

Gordan suddenly felt exposed as though all his secrets had been laid bare. He forced a laugh and explained, "Obviously because that brat, Gale, was too busy, so he sent me instead."

"Are you sure it wasn't your own idea?" Luke's gaze was calm. It was as though he was telling him that he already knew the truth.

"Of course not! I just felt bad for the guy since he was swamped, so I did him a favor," Gordan said, bracing himself.

Luke's expression showed pure disbelief. Seeing how miserable he looked, he said, "You just wanted to come check on Vivian. Getting beaten up was your own fault."

Gordan frowned, accidentally tugging on the wound on his face.

"Luke, that's not true at all," denied Gordan.

"Enough. Just stay here and wait. Once Ray and I figure something out, you can go get your bruises treated." Luke did not look back as he left the room.

Gordan let out a dramatic wail. He was absolutely miserable!

It felt like he had been completely abandoned.

The real issue was that Luke saw right through his little act.

Gordan, on the other hand, was puzzled. He just wanted to know what illness Vivian had. Why was everyone looking at him like that?

Besides, he and Vivian were divorced. At most, they were just familiar strangers. It was not like they had some deep-seated grudge. Was he not even allowed to be curious about her condition?

At the thought of this, Gordan felt wronged and wanted to complain to Gale. However, just as he reached for his phone, he suddenly remembered that Luke had taken it. With nothing else to do, he simply lay down, stretched out, and accepted his fate.

After Luke left the suite, he knocked on the door next door.

Ray opened it.

Luke glanced at Ray's bruised face. It was not as bad as Gordan's, but it was not great either.

Luke asked with concern, "You okay?"

"I'm fine," replied Ray.

"There's something I need to discuss with you," said Luke.

Ray stepped aside to let him in. "Come in."

Luke nodded and walked inside.

Ray, still fuming at the thought of Gordan, scoffed. "That bastard's in your suite?"

"Yeah, icing his face," Luke replied helplessly. Those two could not meet without fighting, and there was just no stopping them.

"Serves him right." Ray's expression was gloomy, then he turned to look at Vivian.

She was holding an ice pack, having just helped Ray ice his injuries.

When she saw Luke enter, she did not panic and run back to her room, but there was a dazed look on her face.noveldrama

"Mr. Crawford." Vivian's eyes were red. She had been crying earlier because of Gordan's sudden intrusion.

"You..." Luke felt that Gordan had really gone too far.

Even if he was worried about Vivian, there were better ways to handle things. Barging in like that only made everything worse for everyone.

"I'm fine." Vivian sniffled and then turned to Ray. "Come here. Let me finish icing your

injuries."

Ray shook his head. "Vivian, go back to your room first. We have things to discuss."

Vivian knew Ray and Luke were involved in some serious business together, so she nodded obediently and went back to the bedroom.

"Sorry about that. Gordan was looking for me. He thought I was here with you," Luke apologized for Gordan's reckless behavior.

"This isn't your fault. No need to make excuses for him," replied Ray.

Luke decided to let the matter drop. He took out Gordan's phone and handed over the intel Gale had gathered. "Gale dug this up. He was worried about surveillance, so he delivered it in person. Take a look."

Ray skimmed the files, the corners of his mouth twitching. "He's losing patience." "Yeah. He's getting anxious. We need to be ready for battle at any moment," replied Luke. Ray had come to X City, but Luke had already stationed people in Russia to keep an eye on things. Marcos was also prepared on that end. Still, Luke could not shake his unease.

He just hoped Vivian's toxicology report would go smoothly and that Luca could help nurse her back to health. Once that was settled, Ray could return to Russia to take charge.

The moment the Island of Despair made a move, they needed to be ready to strike back immediately.

"Coincidentally, I also have some intel to show you," Ray said as he picked up his laptop and pulled up messages from his subordinates for Luke to see.

Luke scanned the information and nodded. "With this, we can predict when Abel plans to make his move. I have an idea." His gaze darkened. It was a risky plan, but it also had its

advantages.

"What is it?" asked Ray.

"I want to have Kassy secretly transferred," replied Luke.

"That's too risky," Ray objected. "Kassy is currently locked up in the country's highest- security prison. If Abel and his people find out you're moving her, they might attempt an

ambush."

"Exactly. That's why I want to plan this with extreme precision. Moving Kassy could actually work to our advantage. Think about it, if we relocate her, we can reduce the manpower stationed at the prison. When Abel arrives to break her out, he'll find nothing but an empty cell. Not only will he fail to retrieve Kassy, but we'll also have more resources to focus on taking down the Island of Despair."

Ray had to admit the logic made sense.

Nevertheless, it was still an incredibly dangerous move.

Ray lowered his voice and asked, "Can you guarantee this will go off without a hitch?"

"There's no such thing as a 100% guarantee, but I'm 90% sure we can pull it off." Luke's eyes were filled with determination.
