Chapter 625 Telling Queeniethe Entire Truth


    In the private room of a restaurant.


    The guests guzzled bottles upon bottles of alcohol. They had to hide their true feelings and maintain


    smiles on their faces even though the bitter taste lingered in their mouths.


    Luke was drinking with Mr. Norman and his men. He had drunk a lot of alcohol.


    He had a high tolerance for alcohol. Though he managed to decline most of the offers to drink, there


    were too many people toasting him.


    Everyone at the table was an influential politician or government official. Luke dared not decline too


    many of their toasts.


    He felt a little tipsy, though his mind was still sound. "There''s something that I''d like to ask, Mr. Norman.


    T Corporation has always obeyed thew, and we only start a project only after we obtain the requisite


    permits. We have checked every document, permit, and schedule at least three times, and we have not


    found any problems. I would like to know if thepany has done something wrong to deserve the


    stop-work order."


    He poured a ss of alcohol for Jack. '' Please let me know if there''s something I can work on."


    The handsome man seemed drunk, but his gaze remained stubbornly sharp, as though he was


    determined to find out the truth.


    Jack did not drink that ss of alcohol, neither did he answer Luke''s question. Instead, he gazed


    profoundly at Luke. "Let''s not talk about business today, Luke. How about we chat about our personal


    lives?"


    Luke knew very well that Mr. Norman was not one to engage in small talk. Neither was he.


    For people like them, time was money.


    However, Luke considered Mr. Norman''s status and agreed to his suggestion.


    He lifted his ss and clinked it with Mr. Norman''s ss. "Alright, let''s not talk about business today.


    Bottoms up, Mr. Norman."


    Half an hourter.


    Without talking about business, Luke managed to find out the reason why Jack Norman had tried to trip


    up T Corporation.


    Mr. and Mrs. Norman had found out that his mother had swapped their baby, and they were using this


    opportunity to threaten Allison to tell them the truth about the incident.


    Luke knew that Mr. and Mrs. Norman were honest and considerate people who would not resort to


    threats. However, they had abandoned their principles just so that they could reunite with their birth


    daughter. It seemed that they were desperate.


    However, he hesitated to tell them the truth.


    Personally, he did not want to see Bianca reunite with the Norman family. On the other hand, he could


    see that the couple seemed to be obsessed with finding their birth daughter. He could also see that Mr.


    Norman''s hair was turning white from worry, and he did not know if not telling them the truth was the


    right thing to do.


    Now that he knew Mr. Norman’s intentions, it would be a lot easier to deal with it.


    Allison went to T Corporation for an "investigation." What she found was exactly like what Jason had


    told her.


    Thepany was in a financial crisis because of the stop-work order.


    She became very nervous.


    She did not want to see her son''spany in financial trouble.


    All those years of living luxuriously had made her a spendthrift. She did not want to return to a life of


    poverty.


    After her investigation, she walked out of T Corporation, clutching her brand new handbag.


    She was about to make a call to her son when an eye-catching car stopped in front of the building.


    A bodyguard dressed in ck opened the car door, and Luke stepped out of the car.


    "Luke!" Allison called out her son''s name agitatedly.


    Luke frowned imperceptibly when he saw her mother appear at T Corporation. "Why are you here,


    Mother?"


    Allison was instantly unhappy. "You are my son. What''s wrong with meing here and visiting you?"


    She could smell the alcohol in Luke''s breath. Instead of feeling sorry for him, she started to reprimand


    him. "Why are you drinking during the day? Don''t you know that alcohol is bad for your health? Don''t


    tell me that you''re not worried at all about yourpany?"


    Luke nced at his mother impatiently. He did not respond to his mother. Instead, he rubbed his


    temples and stepped away toward the revolving doorat the entrance.


    Allison felt hurt when she saw how her son had disrespected her in public." You child..."


    Luke continued walking away while Allison chased him from behind. "Wait for me, my son."


    The two people were mother and son, but they were as distant as strangers.


    Allison continued to ramble as she followed behind Luke. "I''m asking you a question, my son. Why


    aren''t you answering? Would the stop-work order affect the operations of T Corporation? Mr. Doyle


    said that thepany can''t even afford to give me ten million dors. Don''t tell me that it''s real? Is the


    company going bankrupt? Say something..."


    She was still talking when they arrived at the CEO''s office.


    Luke could not take it anymore. He got someone to write a check often million dors and stuffed it in


    his mother''s hands. "Don''t worry about thepany, Mother. I''ll handle it. Here''s ten million dors for


    you.”


    Allison did not show any joy when she took the check. Instead, she was worried.


    "Is the financial crisis very serious, my son?" She asked with great difficulty.


    Luke lowered his gaze and replied not very truthfully, "It is quite serious, and I''m not sure when the


    company will get out of this rut. I have to work, Mother. You can leave if there''s nothing else."


    He could not wait for his mother to leave.

    It was the first time that Allison did not want to take the money. "Luke... if it''s that serious, then maybe...


    you should keep the money?" She said hesitantly.


    Allison looked at her son hard at work. She noticed that beard stubble was growing on Luke''s chin, and


    eye bags were forming around his animated eyes. There was a hint of lethargy in his eyes.


    She felt sad and helpless.


    All this time, she had asked for many things from her son based on the fact that she gave birth to him.


    She had never given anything back.


    She decided that she would tell Queenie the truth.


    After all, the truth could not possibly be hidden forever.


    So what if Queenie knew about it?


    She did not care if the Normans would ept Bianca, but she could not let T Corporation get in trouble


    because of her!
