Chapter 1058 Robert''s Godson


    "Yes, Boss, understood," Jason replied quickly, relieved that his boss was not angry at him.


    Luke frowned hard and did not say anything after that. His fingers tapped swiftly on the keyboard.


    Jason nced at the time and said, "Boss, we have a quarterly work meeting in ten minutes." "Mm,"


    Luke grunted his acknowledgment. The Middle Eastern military was not very cooperative, and they


    were not willing to divulge any more information on Robert''s godson.


    He was stillmunicating with them, hoping that they would tell him more.


    After sending the email, Luke frowned and sped his hands together, waiting for a reply.


    Jason knew that he was still searching for Bianca and did not want to disturb him. He walked out of the


    office and closed the door gently behind him.


    Meanwhile, two security guards brought Maxine out of T Corporation.


    Before she could straighten her clothes, she saw several news vans parked at the roadside.


    The logos on the vehicles showed that they were from A City’s most prominent media outlets.


    Maxine frowned. She quickly went to her car in case they saw her, but she did not drive away. Instead,


    she looked out of the window and saw several reportersing out of the vans and standing outside


    the entrance to T Corporation.


    Her car window was open, and she could hear the reporters'' conversation.


    They were there to look for Luke to find out more about Allison.


    Maxine''s hands gripped the steering wheel tightly. After Abel abducted Bianca, she dared not look for


    Luke in case he suspected her.


    She would not havee to look for him if not that Allison asked her for help.


    Seeing the security guards keeping the reporters out of the building, Maxine clenched her fists and


    mmed down on the steering wheel. She identally hit the horn, which attracted the attention of all


    the reporters.


    Maxine quickly let go, fastened her seatbelt, and quickly drove away from the scene.


    The reporters lingered at the entrance, hoping that they could catch a glimpse of Luke and obtain


    information from him.


    Maxine wore her Bluetooth headset and gave Hera a call.


    "Where are you?" Her sour mood was evident.


    "I''m at the hospital. What''s up?" Hera was not expecting Maxine to contact her after the deed was


    done.


    Was Maxine going to give her more money? Hera was strapped for cash at the moment.


    "Why are you at the hospital? Are you doing another cosmetic surgery procedure again?" Maxine


    asked. She could guess what Hera was doing.


    "How did you know?" Hera was lying on the bed at the moment. She had just finished the consultation


    session, and the procedure would be done the next day.


    With the money from the job, she could afford to stay in a private ward. It was much morefortable


    than the three-bedder.


    "I’ll go and look for you." Maxine ended the call after saying that. She considered that Luke was Hera''s


    senior in high school, so Hera should know some way to win Luke''s heart.


    Maxine entered Hera''s ward twenty minutester and sat on the couch without saying anything.


    Hera sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at Maxine''s dark expression and wondering if someone had


    offended her.


    "What’s wrong, Ms. Dous? Are you in a bad mood?” Hera asked.


    "I went to look for Luke today," Maxine said. She did not tell Hera what happened to her at T


    Corporation.


    Hera frowned. She got off the bed, put on her slippers, and poured a ss of warm water for Maxine.


    "Didn''t you say that you weren''t going to look for him?"


    When she received the call from Abel saying that the deed was done, Maxine had told her toy low for


    a while in case Luke suspected anything.


    Why would Maxine look for Luke mere days after the incident?


    "It''s because of his mother!" Maxine pushed all the me to Allison, forgetting that Maxine had gone to


    look for Luke on her own ord after Allison asked her for help.


    "His mother?" Hera was confused. "What did his mother do?"


    Maxine rolled her eyes huffily. "Is cosmetic surgery the only thing you have in your mind, Hera


    Sanchez? Or have you been living under a rock?"


    Hera was unhappy that Maxine was deriding her, though she did not show it on her face because she


    still wanted to get money from Maxine. She took out her phone and said, "You should know that I''ve


    been busy recently. After dealing with Bianca, Leia is now looking for me. What a drag.


    Leia had asked Hera to help her kill Wayne, but Hera did not know Abel’s whereabouts.


    She had been stalling for time while looking for another solution.


    Hera opened the browser. Before she could type Luke''s name in the search bar, she saw thetest


    headlines.


    She quickly browsed through the news and found out that Allison had been arrested for being an


    aplice in a major theft. "Isn''t she Luke''s mother? Why did she steal from her family?" She


    eximed.

    Maxine had also thought of the same question when she first found out about the news.


    "So are you helping her to persuade Luke?" Hera finally understood why Maxine wanted to look for


    Luke.


    "She''s my distant aunt, and I''ll need her help if I want to marry Luke in the future. That''s why I


    thought..." Maxine was furious when she remembered the treatment she received at T Corporation. If


    she goes to prison, that''s one less person on my side!"


    Capital Corp had never helped T Corporation in their times of need. Old Master Crawford might not


    have said anything, but she knew that he was not on her side. In the entire Crawford family, Allison was


    the only one who could help her.


    That was why Maxine had thought of going to persuade Luke to help his mother.


    She did not expect that Luke did not even want to see her.


    Hera discreetly sized her up. Maxine had been staying abroad since she was young, so her


    appearance was influenced by European standards.


    "When ites to love and rtionships, sometimes you have no one to rely on except yourself," Hera


    said.


    Maxine red at her. "What do you mean? Are you saying that I''m not capable enough?" "I didn''t mean


    that." Hera quickly shook her head. "You can tell that Luke''s family doesn''t have much influence on his


    decisions. Otherwise, he would not have been able to marry Bianca." "So what about it? Bianca is


    going to die anyway." Maxine firmly believed that Abel would be done with Bianca in a few days. She


    had seen what that man could do.


    Hera rested her chin on her hands. "Even if that''s the case, it''ll be hard for you to approach Luke..."


    "That doesn''t matter. One day, I''ll be Mrs. Crawford!" Maxine''s expression was close to maniacal. She


    believed that if she was persistent enough, she would eventually im Luke''s heart.
