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

"Yes, sir," nodded Mr. Griffin. He then walked to the video doorbell camera, and opened the door for the two men waiting outside
the door.
As Old Master Bourne's chauffeur drove into the Crawford family's parking lot, Luca prepared to get into her car.
Luca shot a glance at the driving vehicle, and knew immediately who Old Master Bourne was.
Although his descendants hardly had any connections with Luke, they were an old friend of the Crawford family. She cooperated
with Old Master Bourne's company on two projects when Luke was kidnapped by the Island of Despair back then.
Their cooperation went smoothly.
However, rumor has it that Old Master Bourne's descendants were not as adept at managing business. That was why Old
Master Bourne was still dealing with some of the important tasks in the company even at his age.
It was Old Master Bourne who dealt with her when they were discussed their cooperation.
Luca remembered her first impression of Old Master Bourne. He was a man who always kept a straight face, but his gaze was
always sharp. Despite his age, every decision he made in investments and projects was always right on the money.
He barely made any losses. It was almost impossible to profit off him when he was involved.
Luca withdrew her gaze, got into her car, and left.
As Old Master Bourne got out of the car, he turned and looked in the direction of Luca.
Lonnie followed suit. As he followed Old Master Bourne's gaze, he asked curiously, "Old Master Bourne, do you know that
woman?"
Old Master Bourne gave him a disdainful look and sized him up.
Lonnie was puzzled. He turned to look in the direction of Luca's car. That woman was beautiful, but should he know her?
"How could you not know her?" Old Master Bourne took the walking cane his chauffeur handed to him. Although he was still
managing the company, he was aging and needed the cane to help him to walk steadily.
"Who is she?" Lonnie had no recollection of her.

Old Master Bourne shook his head and answered when Lonnie persisted to just stare at him, “She's the one your unreliable wife
injured!”
"She's Luke's..." Lonnie trailed off before promptly shutting his mouth, realizing they were at the Crawford manor.
Not long after they left Louis' house and returned home, Margaret came back home too.
Margaret explained to him in detail about what happened. Her voice was full of hatred, and she emphasized that the woman was
Luke's mistress.
Margaret despised women who were involved in extramarital affairs. That was why she could not control herself.
The woman who left a moment ago was the one whom Margaret injured, so she must be Luke's woman.
"Yes." Old Master Bourne knew what Lonnie wanted to say. He nodded and walked toward the house.
He was always kept informed as he was still active in the business world.
He immediately knew who Luca was with just a mere glance at her face.
Lonnie immediately caught up with him. "Old Master Bourne, that woman actually entered the Crawford manor. Is it because Old
Master Crawford learned about my wife's incident? Is that why he asked that woman to come here to teach her a lesson?"
Lonnie had such speculations only because he saw the newspaper article today.
The fact that Margaret was taken to custody for assaulting someone had caused a huge sensation in the media. There were
pictures of her being taken away by the police from her home. It was simply disgraceful.
"Do you think that woman looked like she was being lectured just now?" asked Old Master Bourne coldly.
Lonnie's foolishness disgusted him.
Lonnie was like his sons and grandsons. They were dull-witted.
He had no idea how someone like Lonnie managed to grow his company.
If it were not for his capable wife, he would not have helped Lonnie out.
Lonnie smiled awkwardly.

Luca's expression was calm and it did not seem like she had been lectured when she left.
"Old Master Crawford has always known about that woman's existence. If he didn't agree with Luke's relationship with her, he
would have separated them a long time ago. He wouldn't have waited until now," Old Master Bourne reminded him. "If you'd like
to cooperate with T Corporation and work together with Luke, how can you possibly convince them to work with you if you don't
do a background check?"
"You're right, Old Master Bourne." agreed Lonnie awkwardly. If it were not for the unfortunate situation, he would not have asked
for his cousin's help.
After he told his cousin about his situation, she asked Old Master Bourne for help without a second thought.
Old Master Bourne agreed to help as a favor to his cousin.
However, he did not expect Lonnie to be such a fool.
Old Master Bourne scoffed at him. "Indeed, it's different when you have different parents. You should learn from your cousin."
The cousin he was referring to was his daughter-in-law who married into the Bourne family.
Even though his sons were not capable, his daughters-in-law all had a good head on their shoulders.
Especially Lonnie's cousin.
However, his daughter-in-law was not a descendent of the Bourne family. That was why Old Master Bourne kept his place as the
head of the company. He was reluctant to hand the company over to his daughter-in-law to manage.
After all, there was a chance that the fruits of years of his hard work could be swallowed up by an outsider if it was handed over
to someone with a different family name.
Lonnie took a deep breath as he listened to Old Master Bourne's taunts. He reminded himself to be patient.
He needed Old Master Bourne's help now.
Lonnie forced a smile and followed Old Master Bourne into the house. Then, he saw Old Master Crawford sitting on the sofa,
waiting for them.

"Crawford, it's been a while since we last met. You still look so energetic. Do you have any secrets to keeping yourself healthy
that you haven't shared with your old friend?" Old Master Bourne did not go straight to the point, he started off with small talk
first.
"Bourne, is there a better way to improve your health other than maintaining a healthy diet and getting enough rest? Besides,
you look like you're in a pretty good state too," replied Old Master Crawford. He exchanged pleasantries with Old Master Bourne
when he noticed that he had yet to reveal his purpose of coming here. Then, he turned to look at Lonnie, and he asked, "Who is
this?"
"Oh, he's a younger member of the family. Lonnie, say hello to Old Master Crawford,” Old Master Bourne said with a smile on his
face.
Lonnie immediately bowed to Old Master Crawford, "Nice to meet you, Old Master Crawford. I'm Lonnie Jackman."
"Ah, Lonnie Jackman. Sounds familiar to me. The Jackman Corporation?" asked Old Master Crawford pointedly.
"Yes, I'm in charge of Jackman Corporation," replied Lonnie. He was surprised that Old Master Crawford knew about it, given
that he had retired from the business world many years ago.
Luke was in control of the company now, and yet Old Master Crawford still knew about him!
"Young people nowadays are really outstanding. Bourne, Mr. Jackman, please take a seat," Old Master Crawford pointed
towards the sofa beside him.
"Thank you," Old Master Bourne smiled and sat down. "Crawford, I just realized it's been a long time since we last played chess
together. That's why I came over today unannounced. Apologies for my manners. Do you happen to have time today?”
"How could I have any plans when I'm just a retired old man? You came at the right time. I just brewed some tea with the new tea
leaves harvested this year in F Province. They're really fresh. The tea house there delivered them to me right after they finished
making them. Try this," Old Master Crawford signaled to Mr. Griffin.
The pot of tea was originally meant for him and Luca to enjoy together.
However, before they could have a good chat, Old Master Bourne and Lonnie came to visit. The tea could only be served to
them now.

Mr. Griffin followed Old Master Crawford's instructions. He bent down and poured a cup of tea for Old Master Bourne and Lonnie.
"Enjoy the tea, sir.”
