Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1011-To Bring Down Bianca

Meanwhile, Leia stepped out of the elevator and turned around to urge Charmaine. "You're so slow. Walk faster."

Charmaine gritted her teeth. She would not have carried Leia's bags if not that Leia had paid for her shopping. Those bags were very heavy.

"You're walking too fast," she could not help but grumble.

Leia stopped walking and waited for her. ’Why are you slower than a pregnant woman? Stop fooling around, Charmaine!"

Td like to see if you can walk as fast when you're carrying ten shopping bags!' Charmaine thought.

When Charmaine got closer, Leia started walking again. "I'll be going to the hotel for a tasting session with Brody. Do you want to come?"

"Sure," Charmaine replied. She was not going to let go of a chance to eat delicious food, and she was also quite

curious about Leia's fiance. If she got to know him better, he might introduce her to a wealthy man.

Leia and Charmaine found their car in the parking lot. When Leia was about to get into her car, a woman suddenly stopped her.

"Why are you?" Leia held her bulging stomach. The sudden appearance of that stranger had given her a shock. She patted her chest as she regarded the woman in front of her.

The woman had the face of an Internet celebrity. Her features were delicate, but a discerning eye could tell that she had performed plastic surgery. Her clothes were considered high-class.

That person was none other than Hera Sanchez. "Are you Leia Norman?" She asked.

"Can I help you?" Leia thought that the woman was her fan. She might have retired from the entertainment industry, but she had her supporters.

"I've something to ask of you. Follow me." Hera glanced at the photo in her hand. The woman in front of her was plumper than her face in the photo because she was pregnant, but Hera was sure that she was indeed Leia.

"Are you crazy? Why would I follow you just because you told me to? Get lost." Leia did not show any courtesy toward the woman. From that woman's behavior, she could tell that the woman was not her fan.

Hera showed no intention of going away. She blocked Leia from stepping closer to her car and said, "We'll only need ten minutes of your time, Ms. Norman. If you don't follow us, we'll have to use force."

Leia noticed that the woman had mentioned "we," so she looked around. She noticed two burly men standing not far away, and she could guess that they were the same gang as the woman.

She instantly trembled in fear. "Who... who are you?"

Hera wanted to laugh when she saw Leia's sudden change in attitude. "You're Bianca Rayne's younger sister, right?"

"Yes, but I'm not very close to her!" Leia said. There were no other people around to hear it, so she did not mind saying that.

If they were looking for trouble with Bianca, they should not have looked for her.

Hera nodded. That was what she wanted to hear. "I was expecting you to say that."

She glanced at Charmaine at the side, who was also trembling in fear. "Do you want to talk here, or shall we go over there?"

Leia was afraid. "I can talk to you, but please don't hurt me."

"Of course, we won't hurt you," Hera said.

Leia saw that she was not a bad person, so she followed her.

Charmaine breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they were not here to find trouble with them. She tried to eavesdrop on their conversation, but they were too far away.

A while later, Leia returned, smiling. Hera and the two men had already left.

Charmaine pretended to be worried while asking, "Did they hurt you?"

"No, it's all a misunderstanding." Leia waved at Hera as though they were very close friends.

Hera was secretly shocked. Why would they seem so close only after a few minutes?

Knowing Leia's arrogant character, Charmaine knew that she would not be so close to a stranger if she did not have something to gain from their relationship.

"Um... what did she say to you? How could it be a misunderstanding?" Charmaine tried to find out more.

"Charmaine, isn't there enough gossip for you in the entertainment industry?" Leia opened the car door and sat inside. "Let's go. We're running late.'

Brody's family ran a business, and because of their influence, he was not fond of people being late.

Charmaine decided to keep those questions for another time. She put the shopping bags in the boot, then sat in the side passenger seat.

She could not help but be more and more curious when she saw the smile on Leia's face. What could they have talked about in those few short minutes?

"I'm not looking for gossip, Leia. I'm worried about you. They don't look like good people," she said.

Leia could not be bothered to reply. It did not matter to her if those people were good or not. Anyone who wanted to harm Bianca was good in her books.

Hera had offered Leia cooperation.

Leia hated Bianca, but she did not want to attract too much trouble at this critical juncture, so she did not accept the proposal.

However, Hera told her that she did not have to do much, only provide Bianca's location whenever she was asked.

Leia thought about it. The other party was not asking for money or effort, and she could see that Bianca was harmed just by providing information, so she agreed to it.

After the tasting session at the hotel, Leia returned home.

She came in through the door while carrying multiple shopping bags. When she saw Queenie knitting a sweater on the couch, she greeted her, "Mom."

Queenie lifted her head and saw that Leia had gone shopping again. She could not help but reprimand her, "Why did you buy so many things, Leia? Have you forgotten what I told you?"

Leia was annoyed. Naturally, Queenie had been telling her the virtues of frugality and diligence.

If she wanted to be frugal, she would not have married Brody!

Why would any woman want to marry Brody, if not for his riches?

Leia did not show her displeasure on her face. She sat down next to Queenie and said coyly, "It's all for the wedding, Mom. You don't have to keep nagging at me. You should also know that I have a lot to prepare for the wedding, and I don't even have time for myself."

Queenie shook her head helplessly. Leia had been going out shopping on the pretense of preparing for her wedding, but Queenie did not do anything to stop her.

She had been Leia's mother for many years, and she knew what her attitude was like.

"Don't be like that, Mom. When I was out shopping earlier, I saw a very nice handbag." Leia rummaged through the pile of handbags.

"Leia, didn't you already buy the handbag for your wedding?" Queenie remembered that Leia had bought a Gucci handbag two days ago. She said she wanted to use it to hold her personal belongings during the ceremony.

"What are you thinking, Mom? I bought this for you," Leia pretended to sound angry.

She found the handbag and handed it over like a treasure." What do you think? This is the latest design."

Queenie took a look at the handbag. It was indeed quite nice, but it was more suitable for someone of a younger age. novelbin

She tried not to be too critical about it. "It's nice, but it's more suitable for young women like you. You should save it for yourself; I'm not short of handbags anyway."

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1012-Children Are Angels

Leia grumbled under her breath when Queenie rejected her offer.

The handbag was not meant for Queenie anyway. If she did not want it, Leia would keep it for herself. She put the handbag back into the shopping bag and said, "Can I discuss something with you, Mom?"

Queenie picked up the knitting needles and looked at her." What is it?"

"The wedding date is getting close, and we're still overwhelmed with work. I was thinking of getting Bianca to help me with the gown fitting and the guest list," Leia said.

To help Hera, Leia had to lure Bianca out somehow. However, it would be suspicious if she asked Bianca to meet her without any reason.

Asking her to help out at the wedding was the best excuse.

Queenie stopped knitting. They were indeed quite overwhelmed with the preparations. She had started knitting the sweater before she met the Hilton family, and she was not done with it yet.

She would not have the free time to pick up her knitting needles if Leia had not gone to the hotel for the tasting.

She would be happy if Bianca could help out, but she also knew that Bianca had to take care of her own family and career. "Your elder sister must be very busy. We'd better not bother her," she said.

Leia was not going to let go of the opportunity that easily. She held Queenie's arm and said coyly, "But she's my elder sister, Mom. Let's just ask her. We'll think of something else if she's really too busy."

Queenie frowned. She used to think that her daughter was adorable whenever she behaved like that.

Now that her daughter was pregnant, Queenie felt somehow annoyed when she heard what her daughter said. Even though Leia was about to be married, she still thought that the world revolved around her.

Seeing that her mother did not speak, Leia said coyly, "Mom ... Bianca isn't busy at all."

Knowing that she was not close to Bianca, Leia needed her mother's help. Bianca would not necessarily agree if Leia had asked her.

Before Queenie could say anything, Jack came in through the front door.

"Why are you back, jack?" Queenie put her knitting needles down and stood up. Jack would not usually come home during lunch hour.

She poured a cup of tea for him.

Jack took off his coat, gulped down the tea, and said, "Do you know? Something happened to the Crawfords."

"What is it?" Queenie was instantly worried that something

bad might have happened to Bianca.

"I heard that a thief broke into Crawford Manor the day before yesterday, and Louis Crawford's daughter was injured." Jack immediately went home after he knew about it. "Let's pack up. We'll go to the hospital."

Queenie kneaded her hands and said, "That's so serious. Why didn't Bea say anything?"

Louis and Luke might not be born of the same mother, they were nonetheless related by blood, and as Bianca's parents, they had the obligation to visit the young girl in the hospital.

"Bianca doesn’t even care about that. Why would she tell you?" Leia stood up and propped her back.

Jack frowned and looked at her daughter. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

He thought that Leia should have known better. If Old Master Crawford heard that, he would misunderstand.

"I'm not talking nonsense. I saw her walking around in a shopping mall with another woman today. If she still has the mood to go shopping after the incident happened, I don't think she cares at all." Leia would not let go of any chance to slander Bianca in front of her parents.

Shopping? Queenie was confused. It was a workday, so why would Bianca be out shopping?

Jack glared at Leia. If she did not watch her mouth after marrying into the Hilton household, she would eventually learn her lesson the hard way.

However, Jack had to get back to work after the lunch hour. He did not have the time to discipline Leia. After Queenie changed her clothes, they left the house.

Glaring at her parents' backs, Leia's gaze became gloomy.

Meanwhile, while Bianca and Vivian were having lunch together, Bianca received a call from her company, saying that she had to go back and handle some matters.

Vivian said that she had nothing to do at the hotel, so she wanted to go along with Bianca.

Bianca took the opportunity to invite Vivian to her house for dinner.

Vivian hesitated.

Bianca knew why she was hesitating. "Gordan will be coming to my house for dinner too. Wouldn't you want to come along?" She said.

"Thank you for your invitation." Vivian smiled when she heard that Gordan would be going too. She nodded and accepted Bianca's invitation.

Bianca first went to the school to pick up Rainie and Lanie.

"They're my elder children. They're twins," Bianca introduced the children to Vivian. "Lanie, Rainie, this is Aunt Vivian. She is from Moscow."

Lanie and Rainie greeted Vivian in Russian.

Vivian was delighted to see the angelic faces of the two children. "I've heard that your children are very goodlooking. Indeed, they're like angels."

Bianca smiled. "I think that your future children will be goodlooking too."

She did not know why Vivian looked so different from her younger brother, but she could tell that their family had good genes.

"You flatter me, Sis." Vivian touched her own face.

"Trust me. All children are angels." Bianca was genuinely thinking so; she was not joking or flattering her.

Vivian agreed with what she said. She felt inexplicably happy looking at the two children sitting quietly in the back seat.

She really loved children.

However, the children in Moscow did not like her. Even if she wanted to play with them, they were not willing to get close to her because of her face.

They said that if they took her snacks, they would become as ugly as her.

Those children had angelic faces, but their hearts were a different thing.

Bianca's twins and Tommy were well-behaved, and they were not afraid of her.

Rainie looked at Vivian and smiled. "Aunt Vivian, do you want some milk?"

Bianca kept a few bottles of milk in the car's fridge for her children's convenience. Rainie took a bottle and handed it to Vivian.

Vivian smiled. "Thank you, Rainie."

Rainie looked at Vivian's facial features intently. Her features were not perfect, but she looked beautiful when she smiled. "You look nice when you smile, Aunt Vivian," she said.

Vivian was shocked. Other than her younger brother Ray, no one else would praise her looks.

She touched her lips while her cheeks slowly turned red. Ray had also said that she was beautiful whenever she flashed a genuine smile. She thought that Ray was only trying to make her feel good.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1013-How Did Mommy Lie to You?

Rainie nodded her head earnestly. "You look nice, Aunt Vivian. Mommy said that we shouldn’t lie, so I'm not lying to you. Isn't that so, Lanie?"

Lanie was not as talkative as his sister, though he nodded and said, "Mm."

Vivian's smile became wider as she said to Bianca. "I love your children, Sis."

They were true angels.

"Tommy knew that you're in A City since yesterday. He's been saying that he wants to meet you," Bianca said. Her children seem to be very friendly toward Vivian.

"I miss him too," Vivian said with a smile. Her heart felt warm as she took the milk bottle in her hands.

Bianca drove the car back to the mansion. She did not see Luke's car in the garage and knew that he was not back yet. As she unfastened her seatbelt, she gave him a call.

The call was answered after two rings. "Bea." Luke's resonant voice came in through the phone.

"Are you still in the company?" Bianca asked.

"I'm on my way back," Luke said. "There's a bit of traffic, so I'll be delayed."

"Alright." Bianca glanced at Vivian and saw that she was staring at herself. She continued asking, "Will Gordan be joining us for dinner today?"

"Mm." After Luke gave his reply, Bianca could hear Gordan's voice over the phone. "I miss your cooking, Sis. Remember to cook something delicious."

He sounded cheerful, very much unlike the anger he had displayed over the phone the night before.

Luke glared at him. "My wife is not your cook."

Then, he said to Bianca, "Don't mind him, Bea. Please ask the caretaker to cook more food today."

"Okay," Bianca said with a smile. After the call ended, she told Vivian, "Don't worry, Gordan is also on his way here."

"Thank you, Sis." Vivian nodded and smiled happily.

To her, Gordan was the perfect man. She had always thought that her ideal place was next to Gordan.

"I don't really know what Gordan likes to eat. Would you want to help me in the kitchen?" Bianca asked.

She understood what Vivian was thinking. She would be happy to cook for the man of her dreams, even if it might be tiring.

Vivian nodded. "It'll be my pleasure."

She would do anything for Gordan.

Tommy was sitting on the couch playing with toys. When he saw Vivian, he pounced on her. "Aunt Vivian! Huggy!"

Vivian bent down and carried Tommy in her arms. "I haven't seen you in a while, Tommy. You've grown taller."

Tommy reached around and hugged her neck. "I miss you so much, Aunt Vivian. Do you miss me too?"

"I miss you. I think about you every day." Vivian tapped his cute little nose. She was happy to see him.

Tommy blinked excitedly and said, "If you miss me, did you bring me presents?"

Bianca shook her head helplessly when she heard her son asking for presents directly. If Luke heard that, he would scold the little boy.

Vivian felt a little awkward. She had bought some presents for Tommy at the Moscow airport, but she did not bring them along with her because she was not expecting to visit Bianca's house.

Tommy seemed disappointed. "You didn't?"

"She did buy you presents, but they're with Uncle Gordan," Bianca said.

Tommy looked at his mother. "Mommy, why would Aunt Vivian's presents be with Uncle Gordan?"

"Aunt Vivian is Uncle Gordan's fiancee, which means that they're a family. It's not surprising if her belongings are with him," Bianca said with a smile.

"Yay! I'll wait for Uncle Gordan to come then!" Tommy clapped her hands excitedly.

"Alright, you'd better get on the floor. Aunt Vivian needs to help me in the kitchen," Bianca said while picking up Tommy, who was clinging onto Vivian like a koala. "Go and play. Daddy and Uncle Gordan will be here soon."

"Okay, Mommy!"

Vivian was overjoyed seeing Tommy's happy expression.

She stole a few more glances at the boy as she walked toward the kitchen. She felt envious of Bianca.

Bianca had a loving husband and a happy family. Was she rewarded for something good she had done?

Luke's car came in through the driveway when the two women were busy in the kitchen.

Gordan admired the mansion and exclaimed, "The surroundings are not bad. Do you have an extra room?"

He wanted to move in so that he did not have to face Vivian in the hotel.

"Yes, but don't think about it." Luke parked next to Bianca's car and candidly dashed his hopes.

"Why? I'm not going to steal anything from your house. Why won't you let me stay here?" Gordan was getting frustrated. Luke had never pried into his personal life.

However, he was somehow trying to match him with Vivian.

"You'll be a bad influence on my children, and their studies will be affected. Most importantly, you'll intrude upon my personal life with my wife," Luke said as he stepped out of

the car. novelbin

Gordan followed suit. "You already have three little third wheels in your house. Why would you care about one more big one?"

"I mind it because you're the 'big one.'" Luke stepped into the house. When Tommy saw the men, he ran over and hugged Gordan's leg. "Uncle Gordan!"

Gordan smiled and picked him up into his arms. He looked at Luke provocatively. "Looks like your son likes me more than you."

Luke could tell what Tommy was thinking. He did not say anything, instead, he put his briefcase aside. "Is that so?"

Gordan pinched Tommy's meaty little face. "Tommy, tell your Daddy if you like me more than him."

Tommy saw that Gordan did not bring anything when he came in. He did not answer Gordan's question but instead asked, "Where's your bag, Uncle Gordan?"

"What bag?" Gordan was confused by his non sequitur.

"The bag to put the presents in." Seeing that Gordan did not bring any presents for him, Tommy struggled to pull himself free from Gordan's arms.

It was then that Gordan realized that Tommy was asking for a present from him.

He did not bring any...

He did not prepare anything because he was in a hurry to leave Moscow.

"Um, Tommy..." Gordan placed Tommy on the floor, crouched down, and looked into his eyes. "What do you want?"

"If you didn't bring anything, then forget it." Tommy pretended to look disappointed and looked at Luke. "Daddy, Mommy lied to me."

Luke looked at the little boy. "How did Mommy lie to you?"

"Mommy said that Aunt Vivian's presents are with Uncle Gordan, but Uncle Gordan didn't bring anything!" Tommy complained with his arms akimbo.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1014- He Was Waiting for Her

"Vivian?" Gordan instantly frowned when he heard that name. "Why can't she leave me alone?"

Bianca and Vivian were bringing dinner out of the kitchen when they heard what Gordan said.

Vivian's smile froze on her face. She knew that Gordan did not like her, but her heart ached when she had to hear him say that.

She seemed dejected as she placed the dishes on the table.

Bianca looked at the two and sighed. "Gordan, I've invited Vivian here for dinner."

Gordan might not be happy, but he dared not offend Bianca. After all, she was the woman he respected the most.

He looked at the dishes that Vivian brought out and said mockingly, "Can that be eaten? Did you drug the food?"

Vivian shook her head and explained, "I didn't."

Ray had drugged Gordan in Moscow because he wanted to help his elder sister hasten her relationship with Gordan.

Even after Gordan was drugged, he locked himself in the room. From then on, he thought that Vivian had drugged him.

Vivian tried to explain her innocence to him, but it was no use. Now that he mentioned it, it made her feel terrible.

"I was the cook for all the dishes, Gordan. Vivian was only helping. Don't be so paranoid, Gordan." Bianca looked at the two people and hoped that she could ease the tension.

She did not expect that reaction from Gordan when he found out that Vivian was in the kitchen.

"I didn't even touch the finished dish. You... don't have to worry," Vivian said. She did not want Bianca's efforts to be wasted.

Gordan felt even more annoyed looking at her.

Tommy ran over and tugged Gordan's pants. “Uncle Gordan, I don't want you to be so nasty to Aunt Vivian."

Gordan was speechless. Why did that child like Vivian when she was so ugly?

He thought that it was quite embarrassing to be reprimanded by a child.

Luke did not speak up for Gordan. Instead, he said, "Don't just stand there. Let's eat."

Tommy let go of Gordan's pants and ran upstairs. "1'11 get Lanie and Rainie down for dinner!"

Bianca nodded. "I'll bring the rest of the dishes out of the kitchen."

Vivian felt a little awkward. "I'll help," she said.

The awkwardness did not go away at the dining table. The people ate their meals in total silence.

Lanie and Rainie could sense the tension. They quickly finished their food and said that they had to go upstairs to finish their homework.

Only Tommy was eating happily.

Bianca took a napkin and wiped off a bit of mashed potato on his chin. "You should eat slower. It's better for your digestion."

"Okay, Mommy." Tommy flashed a bright smile at Bianca and continued eating.

After dinner, Gordan immediately went to Luke's study. He said he wanted to continue the investigation.

Vivian helped Bianca clean up and said that she wanted to leave first.

"Aren't you waiting for Gordan?" Bianca asked.

"No. I'm feeling a little tired, and I want to go back and rest. I think he'll be here for quite some time," Vivian said. She was already satisfied that she got to eat dinner with Gordan.

Bianca could see that she was indeed tired. She took out several shopping bags from the car boot. Those were all Vivian's purchases.

"I'll get you a cab," she said.

"Thank you, Sis." Vivian was touched.

She booked a cab for Vivian and told the driver Vivian's destination. After watching the car leave, Bianca returned to the house.

Gordan happened to be coming down the stairs. He did not see Vivian in the living room. He sneaked into the kitchen to

take a peek and did not see her there either.

He saw Bianca coming in through the door. "Where's she?" He asked with a smile.

Bianca was quite angry about Gordan's behavior earlier. " Who?" She pretended not to know who Gordan was referring to.

"Ms. Plain-Face." Gordan could tell that Bianca was not in a good mood. novelbin

"Do you mean Vivian? She went back to the hotel first because she didn't want to disturb you," Bianca replied brusquely. If Gordan were not Luke's good friend and was not here to help them, she would have rolled her eyes at him instead.

Gordan frowned. Vivian was not familiar with A City. How did she leave?

He wanted to ask that, but soon realized that Bianca might have helped her book a cab and told the driver the destination. He felt a little more at ease after that.

He went into the kitchen, poured himself a glass of water, and took a sip. Then, he realized that something was not right. Why was he worried about Vivian?

Even if she lost her way and could not speak English well, who would bother taking advantage of her?

Bianca was in the living room playing with Tommy. She did not know what Gordan was thinking in the kitchen.

Gordan left at about eleven o'clock.

After coaxing her children to sleep, she returned to her bedroom. Luke was leaning on the headboard reading some documents.

"Are you still busy?" She lifted the blanket, sat down next to Luke, and glanced at the document curiously. It was related to the upcoming T Corporation shareholders' meeting.

She remembered that she had T Corporation shares too, which meant that she would have to attend the meeting.

She felt quite troubled when she remembered that such meetings were full of quibbles and arguments.

She had taken the reins of T Corporation when Luke had gone missing, and she had chaired the annual shareholders' meeting. Old Master Crawford had never shown up, so she had to face the shareholders' questions herself.

She had used her dividends to appease the shareholders that wanted to topple her, which meant that Luke got to keep his position when he got back.

"I was just browsing because I was free." Luke closed the folder and hugged her. He was reading the documents because he was waiting for her.

Bianca leaned on his chest. She could tell the implications in his words.

"Did Gordan find anything?" She asked.

"No leads yet," Luke replied to her while smoothening the pillows. The culprit had not left many clues to begin with, so the investigation process was quite difficult.

"It's already late. Shall we rest?" He draped his arm over her shoulder.

Bianca blushed a little. She nodded, slowly laid down, and their fingers intertwined.

Meanwhile, Gordan had returned to the hotel. He stood outside the door of his suite, thought for a while, and went into his room.

On his way back, he had the impulse to book a four-star hotel and stay there for the rest of his trip. Even so, he managed to overcome that impulse.

Vivian immediately stood up and placed her ear next to her room door when she heard the door open. She had been waiting for Gordan's return.

Gordan glanced at Vivian's room, then looked away coldly, went back to his room, and closed the door.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1015- Finding Fault with Her

Vivian, standing behind the door, felt dejected when she heard Gordan's room door close.

She hoped that Gordan would care for her, even just a little bit...

There were no sounds beyond the door. The sound insulation between the rooms of the presidential suite was great. She could not hear what was happening in the other room.

By the next day, the news that Luke had enlisted Gordan's help had spread in the Crawford family.

Allison also knew about it.

She did not know who Gordan was, but she knew that he was a very capable investigator!

Gordan was a notorious figure in the international scene. If he helped Luke, he would bring unwanted trouble for her!

Also, she was running out of money. She hoped that the incident would soon blow over so that she could sell those antiques.

The more she thought about it, the more flustered she got. She drove to Bianca's office to find her.

The front desk assistant instantly gave Bianca a call on the internal line when she saw the arrogant and noble lady. Ms. Rayne, there's a woman who wants to see you. She says that she is your mother-in- law."

'Allison Tanner?'

Bianca was surprised. Why would she look for her at her office?

"Bring her in." She said. Then, she stood outside her office to wait for her.

Allison was not satisfied that Bianca did not come and escort her in. She thought that Bianca was rude as she followed the assistant. While she walked, she looked around her and thought that Bianca's company was so much smaller than T Corporation.

She had been wondering if Bianca was capable of starting her own company, but it turned out that Bianca was only embarrassing herself.

When Allison saw Bianca standing there, she spoke imperiously like a queen, "Why didn't you come and meet me at the entrance?"

"This way please, Madam,' Bianca said. She was quite calm when facing Allison's arrogance.

Allison grunted coldly and went into Bianca's office.

Bianca asked the assistant to bring a cup of coffee, then closed the door.

When Allison heard the door close, she instantly interrogated Bianca, "How could you be so silly?"

Bianca was confused. She looked at her and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Allison stared daggers at her. "I'm talking about the break-in at Crawford Manor! How could you ask that kind of person to help with the investigation?"

Bianca was silent. Apparently, Allison knew that Gordan was involved.

The people of the Crawford family should know Gordan's capabilities. He was the one who had helped Luke in the corruption case. She did not understand why Allison had such a strong reaction.

"Are you mute?” Allison was furious seeing that Bianca did not say anything.

"Gordan is a professional investigator, Madam. Why can't we ask him?" Bianca did not understand. She was impassive toward Allison's fury.

"You're asking a thief to catch a thief. Don't you think that it's ridiculous?" Allison said matter-of-factly. To her, Gordan's identity was a stain on his character.

She thought that it was a joke to ask a thief to investigate another thief.

Bianca remained calm in the face of Allison's savagery." Gordan is not a thief, Madam. His investigative abilities are quite outstanding."

"He's still a liar and a scammer. So what if he is capable? What if he finds out who the thief is and splits the loot with

the thief? How would Luke explain that to Old Master Crawford?" Allison said.

Bianca was getting a headache from her twisted logic. "It was Luke's decision to involve Gordan."

"Is Luke as silly as you too? You're his wife, and you know that it's the wrong decision. Why didn't you object to it?" Allison continued to argue using her own logic, not caring what Bianca thought.

Bianca was frustrated. She had never thought that it was the wrong decision.

"I think Luke made the right decision, Madam. Luke could have investigated the incident himself, but he's busy with T Corporation work, especially with the shareholders' meeting coming soon. He would not be able to make any progress with the investigation, and Grandfather would blame him for that," she insisted.

"Gordan might have had a criminal past, butthat is also his strength. He is an outstanding investigator, and he will be able to get to the bottom of it. Moreover, he is blood brothers with Luke. He wouldn't betray Luke for his personal gain."

Allison was livid after hearing that. "Are you purposely opposing me? You'll do what I tell you to do. Stop giving me excuses! If I say that Gordan isn't suitable, then he's not suitable!"

Allison was speaking very loudly, and the office was not well- insulated in the first place. Luke, who had just arrived at the

company, heard the conversation clearly.

He opened the door to the office and saw that Allison was raising her hand at Bianca.

"What are you doing, Mother?" He asked.

Allison was shocked by Luke's sudden appearance and glared at Bianca. "Did you just tattle on me?"

Bianca massaged her temples. "Madam, this place is a half- hour car ride from T Corporation."

She could not predict the future, so she would not have been able to inform Luke half an hour ago. Moreover, Luke did not tell her that he was coming.

Allison stood there in confusion. She had to retract her hand when faced with her son's cold glare.

"Why did you come?" Bianca asked Luke.

Luke did not answer but instead went next to her and faced his mother. "I've heard what you said earlier. You're not satisfied with Gordan's character, and you think that I've made the wrong decision in involving him."

"In any case, he’s not a good person..." Allison's fury receded when she looked at him.

She went to Bianca's company to look for her so she did not have to face Luke, but she could not manage to avoid him anyway.

"He saved me, so I have no reason to doubt his allegiance. If you have some other means of investigating the incident, I

won't stop you, but don't disrupt what I'm doing." Luke did not give his mother any opportunity to retort.

He was telling her to mind her own business.

"I'm your mother!" Allison reminded her. She was not comfortable with what Luke had told her.

"Familial relations don't matter in an incident as serious as this. Is there anything else you want to say, Madam Tanner?" Luke would usually call her "Mother," but he had changed to another appellation.

He was quite unhappy with Allison's behavior. He was tasked with the investigation, yet Allison had deliberately avoided him and came to look for Bianca. He could tell that she was purposely finding fault.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1016-He Only Wanted to See Her "You..." Allison's face changed several shades of red because of her anger. She glared at her son, and the signs of old age appeared on her face.

Deep wrinkles appeared on her face, and she seemed to have aged several decades instantly.

That shocked Bianca. It was the second time she had seen Allison's skin change so drastically, but Allison seemed oblivious to it.

Luke was Allison's son, but ever since he reunited with Bianca, he did not ensure that her whims were satisfied, and sometimes he had even sided with Bianca to bully her.

Allison felt more and more like an outsider and a burden, and her hatred toward Bianca grew.

She thought that it was the wrong decision to leave her with Kevin Rayne. She should have tossed the baby Bianca into the sea! That would have saved her a lot of trouble in the future.

The atmosphere in the office was tense. Neither the mother nor the son was willing to back down.

However, Luke was a more composed person than Allison, and Allison found herself increasingly flustered.

He did not close the door after he entered the office, and Sue had been pacing outside to see what was going on inside. They said that one should not air their dirty laundry in public, but everyone in the company had already found out that Luke Crawford was not on good terms with his mother.

Bianca was getting worried that the situation might continue to escalate. She held Luke's hand gently and tried to defuse the situation. "Did you come here for something, Luke?"

She tried to change the topic to stop the fight from continuing.

Luke looked away from Allison and handed Bianca an envelope.

That was when Bianca noticed that Luke had been holding an envelope all this while. She opened it and saw the invitation letter to the T Corporation annual shareholders' meeting.

Allison could tell that it was an invitation letter too.

He could have given it to Bianca while they were at home, but he had deliberately come over to Bianca's office to deliver it. Did he not have a lot of work? What was the meaning of this?

Allison became angrier when she thought of that. Not caring that people were gossiping outside, she continued to reprimand Luke, "You've been bewitched by that woman, Luke. You disappoint me!"

Then, she stormed out of the office.

Her high heels landed heavily on the floor as though she wanted to leave holes.

Sue was shocked by Allison's gloomy demeanor. It was scary to see that the noble woman seemed to age by decades in an instant.

After Allison left, Bianca sighed. "Luke..."

She did not say what she wanted to say. After all, the problem was between the mother and son, and she could offer no solution.

Luke gently caressed her cheeks and closed the door.

Tm here because I miss you," he said. Jason had delivered the invitation letters ready to be sent out to Luke's office earlier.

When Luke saw the name "Bianca Rayne," he instantly put aside his work on hand and drove over just to see her.

Bianca was moved. She hugged him tightly. "I'm so glad that you're here, Luke."

Luke would always appear whenever she was in trouble. It was the same this time.

Luke carefully inspected Bianca's face for any signs of injury. "Did she hurt you?" He asked.

"No." Bianca shook her head. He had arrived just when Allison wanted to slap her.

"Why do you think your mother is so against Gordan investigating the incident?" She asked.

Luke's gaze turned gloomy. He already had his doubts, and those doubts intensified when he saw his mother acting so strangely.

Why was she against Gordan investigating the incident? It was because Gordan was very capable.

"Are you suspecting that she's behind this?" Bianca felt a little uneasy when she saw him like that.

They were husband and wife, and they could usually tell what each other was thinking. However, Bianca was not willing to suspect Allison's involvement.

Luke was not willing to suspect his own mother too. However, her behavior was too suspicious.

He held Bianca's hand and kissed it. "Let's not be bothered about it.

Gordan will handle it."

Bianca nodded. Even though he said so, her unease only grew.

If Allison was indeed behind the incident, how would Luke be able to face Louis?

"I'll be going off. Let's eat at the Westin tonight. I've already reserved a private room." Seeing Bianca's worries, Luke massaged her.

"Alright. You've been very busy, so let me bring the children over," Bianca said.

Luke gazed at her gently. He would not want to leave if he was not so busy.

Bianca watched Luke leave the office. She thought that he would be going to look for Gordan.

Allison might be his birth mother, but they were not on good terms with each other. Things would be a lot more complicated if Allison was truly involved in the break-in.

"Sigh," Bianca sighed.

Sue came into the office and asked her out of concern, "Are you okay,

Bianca? Just now..."

She paused. Even when the door was closed, she could clearly hear the conversation inside the office. She was quite shocked to find out that the seemingly noble Allison was such a shrew.

"It's nothing, Sue. Let's get back to work." Bianca forced a smile on her face, though she could not hide her worry.

Sue was not going to pry into Bianca's family matters. She comforted herself by thinking that she was lucky that she did not have in-laws, put the cup of coffee on the table, and left the office while closing the door behind her.

Bianca sat in her chair, staring at the computer screen in a daze.

She remembered that in the security footage, Allison had appeared in the living room before and after the incident.

The technicians of the security company had conjectured that the signal jammer was installed on the first floor. Come to think of it, Allison could have been the one who installed and removed the signal jammer.

Bianca shook her head when she thought about that, trying to banish that thought.

Even so, she could not stop the seed of suspicion from taking root.

After work, Bianca brought the children to the Westin Hotel and met Jack and Queenie there.

"Dad, Mom! What a coincidence," she greeted her parents.

"Good evening, Grandpa, Grandma," the three children greeted them too.

"Good evening." Queenie's gaze turned gentle when she saw her precious grandchildren. "I haven't seen you for a long time. Come and let me take a good look at you."

The three children came near to her. "Grandpa, Grandma, I've grown taller recently," Tommy said.

Jack patted his head and picked him up. ‘Yes, my precious Tommy has grown taller."

Bianca could see that her parents were a lot happier when the children were around and thought that she would bring the children to visit them more often. "Are you here for dinner too?" She asked.

"Yes. Your mother said that she misses the French cuisine here, so I brought her here," Jack said as he cast a loving gaze at his wife.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1018-She Could Not Say No

Queenie put her hand gently on the back of Leia's hand and said softly," Leia."

Leia snapped out of it. Dark thoughts filled her head the moment she saw Luke. If Queenie did not call out to her, she might still be staring.

"Mom, what's the matter?" She deliberately acted as though she was aggrieved to gain pity from Queenie.

Queenie asked, "Aren't you supposed to be on your way to look for the wedding planner to go through the itinerary with Brody? Did you get into a fight?" "It's nothing. We just had a mild disagreement about the wedding." Leia wiped the corner of her eyes and pretended to tear up.

Queenie sighed. Leia was pregnant but Brody left her downtown because of a small fight. It was clear to Queenie that Brody was not a dependable man. "Why didn’t you try to talk things through? It won't do your marriage any good if you get into a fight every time there's a disagreement. Look at your sister and brother-in-law! They always talk their way through issues. I don’t remember the last time they fought."

Bianca and Luke rarely fought. When Tommy heard his grandmother boasting about his parents, he smiled and said, "Lanie said that Daddy and Mommy are soul mates who never fight."

Bianca was overjoyed to hear what Tommy said. She had a big smile on her face as she reached out to touch his head.

Leia endured the fury in her heart, pursed her mouth, and said, "My relationship with Brody is wonderful but the preparation time for the wedding is too short. I’m under a lot of pressure, so I couldn't

hold my temper when we got into a disagreement. Mom, you know me, this isn't the real me. If it weren't for my pregnancy and the pressure of planning the wedding, I wouldn't have acted like that..."

As she said that, she pushed out her belly to highlight that she was still a pregnant woman.

Queenie sighed to express her helplessness.

There was only so much she could do.

Leia wiped her tears and said, "Even now, I don't have a flower girl, I haven't tried on the wedding dress, and I'm working on the guest list and invitations at the same time. There's so much to do!"

Queenie looked at her with distress, held her hand, and tried to coax her." Okay, don't cry. It's not great for the child if you cry." "Mom..." Seeing Queenie's reaction, Leia seized the opportunity and grabbed her chest to act weak. "Mom, can you ask Bianca to help me? I don’t know if it's because I'm pregnant but I feel out of breath when I get overwhelmed."

Bianca was stunned when she heard her name being mentioned. 'Leia is asking me to help?’

Bianca was well aware of how much Leia hated her so it did not make sense that she would ask her for help.

Queenie did not expect it as well and shook her head. "Bea has a lot of things on her plate recently. Leia, what about your friends? They can help too."

When Leia saw that Queenie was being so upfront, she replied, "They're all in showbiz and are busier than me. What's Bea doing? Is it because of the break-in? Bea, since you're not the one who's investigating the matter, you should be free, right?"

Bianca met Leia's gaze and sighed in her heart. Leia was so spoiled by Queenie that she did not know how to be a decent human being.

"When I have the time, I'll help." She skillfully phrased her sentence in a hypothetical manner. After all, they were family and it would not be nice to turn her down directly.

Bianca thought to herself that Leia would not be so stupid to ask her for help as her presence might make things worse.

After she said that, Luke squeezed her hand to show that he was disagreeing with her decision.

Bianca smiled bitterly in her heart as she knew that she had no choice. She could not turn down her sister's request in front of their parents.

Leia smiled sweetly when she heard Bianca's reply. She said, "Thank you, Sister."

Her gaze fell on Rainie and Blanche. The children would not be allowed to live when Bianca was dealt with. Leia continued and said, "Bea, I still need flower children and I think that Rainie and Blanche are the best people for the job. They’re so cute and will be even more adorable when they wear a suit and a dress. The twins may also bring me luck. Maybe my second pregnancy with Brody will be twins."

Blanche was repulsed as he looked at Leia's 'innocent' gaze. Neither he nor his sister liked Leia.

Blanche was not afraid that he would be reprimanded for being impolite and turned Leia down before the adults could speak. "Aunt Leia, Rainie and I are too old to be your flower children. On top of that, as my dad always says that we should focus on our studies and lead by example for our younger brother."

They were indeed a little old to be flower children, but Leia insisted and said, "That’s okay. Both of you are cute and beautiful. All you have to do is go shopping for clothes and rehearse the day before the actual day. It's not a big deal. Blanche, I trust that you won't turn down your aunt?" "Aunt Leia, we’re not interested in being your flower children. You should look for other children. Lanie, Tommy, and I will attend the ceremony as guests." Rainie made their stance clear and made sure Tommy would be protected from her as well.

They had never been a fan of Leia and did not want to be her flower children.

Leia's smile froze. She did not expect that the kids would be more difficult to deal with than their mother.

Her grandson had politely refused but Queenie was worried that Leia would keep on demanding, so she stepped in and said, "My friend has two grandchildren who are at the appropriate age. Leia, why not have them be your flower children?"

Since Queenie had already offered, Leia knew that there was nothing she could do about it. 'As long as I get Bianca, the three of them will be orphans who won't know what's coming for them!'

The private room was no longer harmonious because of Leia's presence.

After they were done with the meal, Luke got the bill and left with his wife and daughter after using work as an excuse.

Blanche apologized when they got in the car. “Daddy, Mommy, I'm sorry."

Bianca turned back to look at her son and wondered why he was suddenly apologizing. She asked him, "Lanie, what's the matter?" "Lanie and I don’t want to be Aunt Leia's flower children and turned her down before you and Daddy could say anything," Rainie explained.

Bianca smiled. She knew that her children disliked Leia. She would never force them to do things they did not want to.

"You've grown up and are allowed to have your own opinions. You don't need to apologize." Bianca was pleased that they could think for themselves but still considered her and Luke's feelings.

"Thank you, Mommy and Daddy." Blanche thanked them. His parents' understanding made him feel less guilty.

Luke also chimed in, "You did the right thing just now."

As he said that, he glanced at Bianca. Bianca knew what he was thinking about.

Bianca smiled helplessly and knew that she should not have agreed to Leia. However, she had made a promise. Her only option was to bite the bullet. 3

Others might not think too much about it if a kid refused an adult’s request.

However, Leia was her sister in name. If she refused, Leia would use it against her the next time.

Old Master Crawford had told her that everything she did was a representation of Luke, so she needed to evaluate all her decisions carefully.

The Hiltons were well-known in A City. Leia had used the wedding as an excuse to make a demand so Bianca could not say no

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1019-He Had To Die

Late at night.

After Jack and Queenie went to bed, the Norman Residence was in complete silence.

Leia pressed her face on the door of the master bedroom, and after confirming that there was no sound inside, she tiptoed back into her bedroom. After closing the door, she turned on the lights. She was instantly caught off guard by the sudden appearance of a man!

"Ah-" As soon as she wanted to say something, her mouth was covered by Wayne. A familiar sense of fear invaded her heart.

Wayne pushed her against the door, smiled evilly, and warned her. "Don't yell. If you yell, this knife will slice through your neck in an instant!"

Leia's eyes widened and she felt the pain from being slammed onto the wall. She nodded and shook her hands to gesture that she would not scream.

Wayne glanced at Leia's bulging belly. After letting go of her, he grabbed her slightly chubby face and asked, "Is the child mine?" "No, it's not yours!" Leia denied as the fear in her heart slowly took over her body. 'Didn't he escape abroad? Why is he back in A City?’ novelbin

He would kill her if he knew that she was marrying Brody while pregnant with his child!

She had no option but to lie to him.

Wayne squinted his eyes and an evil smile flashed across his face as he said, "The child isn’t mine?"

Leia nodded. Although she was doing her best to be brave, her body could not stop shaking when she saw the sharp knife.

Wayne played with the penknife in his hand and moved it to her belly. "If it's not mine, I'll dig it out!" "Wayne, please don't!" Leia immediately covered her belly. She knew that he was a lunatic who would do as he said. She protected her belly and tried to squeeze a smile. "Wayne, I was only joking with you."

Wayne’s knife left her belly and he waved it in front of her eyes while saying, "Is the child mine or the bastard’s?!" "It's yours! I was just joking... Wayne, you're going to be a father!" Leia trembled as she looked at the penknife. She was afraid that it would land on her stomach.

Wayne chuckled and raised her chin with the tip of the knife. "Leia, I hate it when people lie to me." "It's your child. I have a report. It's really..." Leia pointed to the bedside table and looked down. "It's in the drawer."

Wayne put away the knife but did not open the drawer to get the report. Instead, he picked up the invitation card on the side table and asked," What's this?"

Leia saw that he was holding a sample of the invitation card and was frightened out of her wits. "Wayne..." "You're marrying another man while pregnant with my child?" Wayne was beyond furious and tore the invitation in his hand to pieces.

As soon as he returned to A City, he heard that Leia was pregnant and getting married to one of the Hiltons, who were involved in international trade.

Blazing hot anger had surged uncontrollably in his gut upon hearing the news and he sneaked into the Norman Residence the same night.

After the last incident, the security measures of Norman Residence had been upgraded. However, it was nothing to him. After all, he had been trained in special forces.

"Wayne, you fled! You can't expect me to be a single mother. You don't know the kind of people my parents are!" Leia cried and said while acting pitiful.

"You’re not allowed to marry another man. Both you and the child are mine. " Wayne warned her while holding the knife.

"You weren't there at the time. This child belongs to you and I couldn't bear to abort it, so this was the only way I could think of." Leia kept her failed attempted abortion to herself.

Her life would be hundreds of times better if it were not for the baby. She hated the child and Wayne, so she was more than happy to get rid of them.

"Hmph, I'll kill your parents and that man right now!" Wayne said arrogantly. He already had the blood of a few lives on his hands. He surely did not mind killing a few more.

"Wayne, don't do this!" Although Leia hated the Normans, they could not die just yet. If Wayne killed Brody, her great life would come to an end.

"Why? You can’t let go of them?" Wayne squinted, the murderous intent in his eyes clear and obvious.

"No, I don’t care about them. Wayne, you're still a fugitive and you need money, right?" Leia was racking her brain to find a reason to change his mind. "I’m not marrying that man because I love him. What I love is his family's fortune. Wayne, if I marry him, you'll have a worry-free life with all the money that I'll be getting!" "I’ll make money if I need money. You don't need to sell yourself to make money for me! I promise you a good life if you choose to leave with me," Wayne said irritably. He was insulted that she thought he could not support her and their child.

"Wayne, it's alright if I suffer a little, but I'll never allow our child to suffer. Wait until I get the money and I'll leave with you, how about that? Else, you can kill him, but only after I get his money. Then, our family can run away and start a life of our own!" Leia stroked her belly and approached him." Wayne, I know you can make money, but you’re not alone now. Our baby and I can't bear to see you working so hard for us. It’ll only be a while more.

Wayne squinted and thought about what she said.

Based on the wedding customs of A City, after the two took wedding photos and booked the venue, the man would give the woman betrothal gifts. Leia and Brody were already preparing invitations and were not far from taking their wedding photos.

He said, "Okay, I’ll give you some time. Lie down."

Leia understood what he wanted and gritted her teeth. It had taken a lot for her to heal from the trauma that Wayne left her with. She knew that her body would not be able to take it. She begged for mercy, saying, "Wayne, the doctor said no." "You’re far along so I’m sure it’ll be fine. I'll just be careful!" Wayne had not been intimate with anyone for a long time because he had been on the run.

"The doctor said that my body is weak, and my pregnancy is still unstable. Wayne, you don't want the baby to be in danger, do you?" Leia persuaded him.

The child was somewhat Wayne’s soft spot, so he cursed, "F*ck! How disappointing!" "Wayne, we have our lives ahead of us." Leia lightly put her hand on his shoulder, enduring the disgust she felt. She asked, "Where are you staying now?"

Wayne looked at her with caution and replied, "Why are you asking?"

Leia was flustered. She intended to get his address and then have the police catch Wayne.

However, after she thought about it, she realized Wayne would only drag her down with him if he fell into the hands of the police. Only dead men told no tales.

"I care about you... I'm asking so that I know how to reach out to you when I get the money!" Leia said.

Wayne squeezed her face and smirked. "Don't try anything. You don't need to contact me, I’ll contact you when the time comes. Leia, I’ve been paying attention to you. Don't waste your time thinking of tricks."

Leia's heartbeat sped up. 'He has been keeping watch?!’

Wayne was a terrible man whose existence shrouded her life in misery.

She would not allow him to push her around like this. There was no other way. Wayne Blatt had to die!
