Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle Chapter 2311
Vixen
Luke's expression darkened when he saw how unwelcoming Susan was.
It was not that Susan disliked Luca as a person but rather showed hostility because he was close with Luca.
As such, Luke refused to let this matter be.
He was about to say something when Louis took the envelope from Luca and placed it with the rest of the gifts. “Thank you, Dr.
Craw. Follow me."
"Alright." Luca smiled at Louis with gratitude. She would surely garner the curious gazes of everyone should she hold the red
packet for too long.
The man had helped her out of the awkward situation.
"Let's go, Brother." Louis knew that Luke would not stand at the door to welcome other guests, so he showed his brother inside.
"Alright." Luke nodded.
Louis greeted Aunt Neile as well and brought everyone into the banquet hall.
Susan watched them leave and cursed softy, "Vixen."
Yuri heard what Susan called Luca clearly but chose to ignore it.
Susan then turned to Yuri. "Keep a close watch on your husband, lest that vixen manages to steal his heart too."
"Yes, Mother," Yuri acknowledged superficially but paid her no mind. After all, Luca's target was Luke and not Louis, who had
decided to open his own small workshop when he could have taken advantage of his family background.
Louis brought Luca to a table and said, "This is your seat, Dr. Craw. Nina will sit with you when she arrives shortly."
"Alright, thank you." Luca sat down elegantly.

Louis then turned to Luke. "Grandfather's waiting for you at the main table, Brother. He said to go over once you're here."
"Alright," Luke replied without averting his gaze from Luca.
Their close distance gathered the curious and guessing gazes of many people around them.
"Go, Mr. Crawford," Luca said. She knew that if Luke stayed any longer, they would only attract even more gazes.
"Are you alright sitting here alone?" Luke asked. They had arrived rather early, so the table was still empty.
"I'll be alright." Luca shook her head to appease him.
Hence, Luke took Rainie's hand and walked over to the main table.
Luca looked around. When she looked up, she realized that there were much fewer people looking at her now.
Still, that did not mean people would stop talking about her.
It was very likely that the crowd would manage to find out about her background information in a moment.
Luca felt lightheaded. She had set off and arrived at the hotel with Luke, so she had already predicted such turns of events.
Not that it made being stared at and guessed about any more comfortable.
Luca picked up her phone. If she could not face the gazes, then the alternative would be to escape. She scrolled through social
media to ignore the questioning gazes around her.
Luke brought Rainie over to Old Master Crawford's side. "Grandfather, you were looking for me?"
"Hello, Great-grandfather," Rainie greeted Old Master Crawford with Luke.
"Oh my, let me take a look! Whose little princess is this, hmm?" Old Master Crawford put down the teacup and looked at Rainie.
He was elated by what he saw.
"The Crawfords' little princess!" Rainie smiled sweetly and responded according to the cue.
"Oh, it's my little princess! No wonder she's so pretty, hmm?" Old Master Crawford did not hold back as he praised Rainie.
However, his praises stirred jealousy within Thea.

None of the elderly had praised her like this when she arrived, yet Rainie easily gathered the praises of their great-grandfather. It
was unfair.
Thea was also wearing an expensive little dress with a small tiara. She was just as pretty as Rainie.
Despite her indignance, Thea did not dare to do anything in front of the elderly.
Rainie smiled and leaned against Old Master Crawford. "Great-grandfather, did you know Ms. Luca was the one who did my
hair? It looks nice, right? It's just like her hairstyle!"
"No wonder you're even prettier than you used to be! Luca did it for you, hmm? Where is she, by the way?" Old Master Crawford
looked up at Luke and asked.
"Over there," Luke pointed in a direction.
Old Master Crawford narrowed his eyes slightly. "Why isn't she sitting with us?"
"There's no space," Luke replied. A table had 10 seats, and there were nine of them and one butler. "She's sitting there with
Nina."
"I see. Still, Luca should've come to say hi." Despite his words, Old Master Crawford showed no displeasure on his face.
"Luca prefers to keep a low profile. She'll come and say hi after dinner," Luke said as he sat on his chair. Not seeing his two
sons, he asked, "Where's Lanie and Tommy?"
"There's a children's playground in the banquet hall, so they're there playing. Don't worry, the butler's there with them," Old
Master Crawford replied. Boys tended to have more energy to burn, so when he saw how the two boys wanted to play, Old
Master Crawford had the butler bring them to the playground.
Luke nodded.
"Oh, right. I heard there's good news with Watson recently?" Old Master Crawford asked.
"Yeah. It's Luca's research. Clinical data for phase three is out and results are better than predicted. We should be able to apply
for a patent and have it in the market after the new year," Luke replied. This meant that Watson Pharmaceuticals was formally
about to make gains.

"Luca's a smart girl," Old Master Crawford praised.
Luke nodded in agreement.
She had always been this smart. As long as she put her mind to it, she would give it her all and never give up until she achieved
her goal.
This was something that persisted from when she was still Bianca.
Over at Luca's table.
Percy sent Nina to her respective table and turned to Luca. "Dr. Craw, I'll be leaving Nina in your care for now."
"Don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one will get to bully her." Luca smiled and put her phone back in her purse. With Nina here,
she no longer needed to busy herself with her phone.
"Oh my God, stop. Go back to your seat already." Nina pushed Percy away. She had already gained the attention of a lot of
people by coming with Percy.
She was unused to being stared at by so many people. It reminded her of a wedding ceremony in the church.
If she truly got married, she would openly accept those gazes on herself. However, she was not getting married now and the
questioning gazes thrown at her made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Alright. Look for me if anything happens," Percy said.
"Don't worry about me. I have Luca here." Nina then wrapped her arm around Luca's.
Percy shook his head with a smile and left.
Nina let out a sigh of relief. "He's finally gone."
"What's this? Do you dislike Mr. Mallory?" Luca teased her.
"What? No, of course not. But didn't you see the looks everyone was giving me? Everyone's been looking at me from the
moment I walked in. It's like they're pointing guns at me. All that staring is giving me goosebumps," Nina complained.
