Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle novel Chapter 3282

She rarely appeared in public with Luke before, so those romantic advances had not come her way just yet.

Back then, while she trusted Luke, she would also be quite concerned about such things.

She often felt that she was not good enough to be with him, which fueled her worries.

However, things were different now. Despite her unfortunate experience on the Island of Despair, she had grown a lot over the past three years.

It was not related to Abel. It was Shanks who had helped her become more capable.

Now, when these women approached her, she did not think much of it.

She knew they were not as capable as she was.

Luca still valued Luke, but she had become much more composed in the face of such provocations.

The bridesmaid was indeed surprised. She did not expect that the company was not Luke’s!

However, what was the big deal? Even if it was not Luke’s company, he was managing it, and she was working under him.

The bridesmaid sneered, “What’s the point of saying all this? I know the company reports to Mr. Crawford now, not Mrs. Crawford. And at least I’m working under Mr. Crawford. Can you say the same?”

Tommy frowned, clearly ready to defend Luca. He replied, “Ms. Luca works in Daddy’s branch office!”

The bridesmaid was taken aback for a moment.

She thought the kids looked familiar.

Now, she realized they were Luke’s kids!

She regretted her abruptness. Had she known these were Luke’s kids, she would never have spoken to Luca like that.

She would have at least tried to make a better impression in front of these three little ones!

Lanie added, “And the company profits from Ms. Luca’s research.”

Rainie nodded in agreement. “Yes!”

The three kids were united in their mission to protect their mother.

The bridesmaid was left speechless by the kids’ defense. Why were they so protective of Luca?

No wonder Luke was so good to her. Luca must have used his influence to win over these kids!

Lanie asked, “Ms. Luca is a research professor. Madam, may I know what position you hold at Brilliant?”

The bridesmaid’s face turned red with annoyance at being called 'Madam'.

However, since the question came from Luke’s son, she could not express her anger.

She was older than Lanie, so it was right for him to call her 'Madam'.

Still, she did not see why Luca, who was older than her, was called 'Miss' while she was called 'Madam'.

“Madam? What’s your position?” Lanie pressed, giving Luca a look.

Luca understood from her eldest son’s gaze that he wanted her to stay silent.

She was being protected by a child.

Luca was moved and decided to see how her kids would defend her, so she remained quiet.

The bridesmaid was stunned for a moment and replied, “I just graduated, so I’m working as an assistant to the general manager.”

“Oh, an assistant…” Lanie nodded and added, “There's not much room for promotion, then—at least not at Brilliant.”

“I’m still young. Give me a couple of years, and I’ll be at T Corporation's headquarters!” replied the bridesmaid. “I graduated from Columbia University, you know!”

Even though he usually remained silent, he was able to shut down this woman with his sharp words.

Luca was surprised. She never realized that Lanie, who usually kept to himself, was so sharp-tongued…

“You! You all!” The bridesmaid could no longer smile and maintain a friendly facade in front of the kids. After she glared at them, she said to Luca, “What’s so great about you? You’re just someone’s mistress! What’s there to show off?”

“Madam, but you don’t even have the chance to be a mistress. My dad doesn’t need anyone like you,” replied Lanie.

The bridesmaid was fuming. With a huff, she stood up and walked away while ignoring the curious looks from around her.

Tommy gave his brother a thumbs-up and continued eating.

Lanie looked at Luca and said, “Ms. Luca, I didn’t mean to be so harsh.”

“It’s okay,” replied Luca, recognizing that he had a good sense of when to hold back.

He would not be this confrontational with just anyone. The bridesmaid had been particularly provocative.

That was why Lanie could not help himself.

Normally, he would not speak up about things like this.

“Lanie, that was awesome!” said Rainie. She knew her brother was usually quiet, but when he did speak, it would be a sharp, lengthy rebuttal.

“Ms. Luca, please don’t tell Daddy. I’m afraid I’ll get in trouble,” said Lanie.

If it were not for that woman bothering their mom, he would not have bothered to speak up.

How could that woman brag about being better? Their mother was in a league of her own!

Any single one of her accomplishments could eclipse hers.
