Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1021-- Partners In Crime
Crawford Mansion was in chaos.
Since the thief had yet to be caught, Susan clamored in front of Old Master Crawford every day to complain about Luke. She said that Luke was not taking it seriously and he only cared about his own happiness, not caring about Thea's injury at all.
Old Master Crawford was upset by her never-ending rambling, so he summoned the family and invited them to the mansion for dinner.
Luke went back with Bianca and the kids. They walked into the living room and noticed Susan, who was alone in the living room.
Bianca sighed and prepared herself for another storm.
"Lanie, Rainie, go upstairs to do your homework. If there's something that you don't understand, make a note of it and I'll come up to help you with it later." Bianca handed the school bags to the twins. There were certain matters that she did not want to involve the kids in.
Blanche and Rainie nodded and carried their school bags upstairs.
Tommy eagerly called out to Susan, "Grandma Susan!"
Susan responded with a stern expression and looked at Luke closely.
Their family was so harmonious that it made her jealous. Everyone was under the same roof on the day of the incident but Thea was the one who got hurt.
Although Thea's condition had stabilized and she was getting better day by day, Susan could not find peace until the thief had been found.
"Luke, when did your level of efficiency become so bad?" Susan went straight into questioning him, ignoring the presence of the children.
Luke's expression remained neutral as he said to Bianca, "My love, please take Tommy upstairs."
He was more than willing to deal with matters as such alone. He did not need Bianca to be by his side.
Bianca was aware of his intentions and did not want to add to his stress. She said to Tommy, "Tommy, let’s go upstairs to watch cartoons, okay?"
Tommy wanted to say that there was also a TV downstairs and they could watch cartoons here, but upon seeing Susan's gloomy expression, he nodded and followed Bianca upstairs.
After Bianca and the kids went upstairs, Luke sat opposite Susan and said," Susan, the matter is under investigation." "Have you been procrastinating? It’s been so long since the break-in and Thea has been suffering in the hospital yet you haven't found anything useful. Are you trying to drag it out? Could it be that you’re in cahoots with the thief?" Susan was filled with wrath and started making wild guesses because she had not heard anything from him.
Luke's expression turned gloomy in an instant.
"If you have doubts about my ability, you can wait for the police to finish their investigation. I’m running a separate investigation alongside the police. Both sides are working on it at the same time," he explained as patiently as he could.
Susan was triggered by his response and pointed at him while shouting," You're finally willing to tell the truth! You're deliberately dragging out the investigation to buy time for the thief! Are you happy that
Thea is hurt? You and the thief are partners in crime!"
Her tone changed from questioning to affirmative.
Luke was running out of patience and did not care about what she thought. When he stood up and wanted to leave, Old Master Crawford came downstairs.
He had overheard the entire conversation. Old Master Crawford was exasperated that Susan said such things. She was acting like a child rather than a respectful adult. He scolded her with a sullen expression, "What nonsense are you talking about?" "Dad, did you hear what he said just now? He told me to wait for the police! This is your 'good' grandson, the one you have high hopes for! If the police are useful, why do we need him to investigate the matter?!" Susan was
arrogant and unreasonable. All she wanted was for Luke to fall from grace in front of Old Master Crawford.
Old Master Crawford had heard what Luke just said as well. Although Luke had not shown Susan any respect, it was not as bad as she made it out to be. He stared at Susan and said, "Are you done causing trouble?"
Susan thought that she finally had something on Luke and refused to let go of it. "Dad, I'm not trying to cause trouble. Maybe... he worked with outsiders to steal your antiques. Crawford Manor had a break- in the same day he came back. How could there be such a coincidence?"
It was a coincidence, and thankfully, Old Master Crawford was not swayed by her. He knocked on the floor with his cane and shouted, "Shut up!"
Susan felt wronged. Old Master Crawford was partial to Luke no matter what.
"Why would Luke steal things from the manor? Do you think that he needs the money? The cash that he has on him now is more than what you have in your bank account. Thea is Louis’ child and Luke loves Louis. Do you think he would do anything to harm Leia?" Old Master Crawford was annoyed with Susan. 1
Susan was a troublemaker. She would pick a fight whenever she saw Allison or Luke.
Old Master Crawford was so tired that he had even considered dividing the family properties after the matter was over.
Susan wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and went on to talk about Thea. "Dad, Thea is still in the hospital. I can't bear to watch her suffer. She's a sweet child and might have to live the rest of her life with a scar on her head. How can I feel at ease when the thief is still out there?" "The police are not able to find him either.' Although Old Master Crawford felt bad for Thea, he was well aware of the situation. If the police could not find anything, Luke would need some time to investigate the matter thoroughly.
"Someone who dares to steal from Crawford Manor won't be someone simple. Give it some time, and I don't ever want to hear you spewing nonsense again. Luke will get to the bottom of it." Old Master Crawford warned her in case she went on rambling.
Seeing that the thief had yet been caught, the Crawford family was the center of attention in A City. No one felt safe with the thief still out there.
Susan was aggrieved. Luke had given her hope when he asked someone to assist in the investigation. However, she had waited for so long and the case was still open. Hence, she lost her patience and thought he had no intention of helping.
"Luke, what’s the status of the investigation?" Old Master Crawford stopped looking at her and turned his focus to Luke instead.
"It’s still under investigation." Luke did not share any details of the investigation. There were a lot of people in the Crawford family and if something was revealed prematurely, it may affect the investigation.
Old Master Crawford stopped pushing him when he heard his response.
Luke said, "Grandpa, I'm going upstairs. The children are doing their homework." "Go. Feel free to spend the night here after dinner so that the children won't be tired from running around," Old Master Crawford said.
"Okay." Luke nodded and went upstairs.
Bianca was helping Rainie with her homework. When Luke walked in, she looked up and smiled as she asked, "Are you okay?" "I’m fine." Luke sat next to her, picked up Blanche's workbook, and reviewed it.
"Daddy, Mommy had already checked it," Blanche put down the textbooks in his hand and said.
"Did you get any questions wrong?" Luke asked. Lanie and Rainie both went to elite schools that were much more difficult than ordinary schools.
"Of course not! Rainie, on the other hand, is struggling," Blanche said as he looked helplessly at Rainie, who was frowning beside him. She had not been attentive in class recently and did not understand a lot of the questions.

The next day, which happened to be Saturday, Bianca went to pick up a fancy fruit basket. After returning to the manor, she set off to Allison's residence with Luke.
In the car, Tommy muttered, "Daddy, Mommy, you promised to take me to the amusement park. Why are we going to Grandma's house?"
The plan to take the kids to the amusement park was put on hold for a while because of Luke and Bianca's busy schedules.
Fortunately, Tommy was an understanding and considerate child. He was just a little emotional because he had been waiting for so long.
Bianca and Luke looked at each other and discussed in a low voice, "Are you going to work tomorrow?" "No," Luke replied.
"Should we go to the amusement park tomorrow?" Bianca discussed it with him.
"Sounds good." Luke agreed. It was worth taking a day off to spend it with his family.
Bianca looked at Tommy, who was puffing out his cheeks. He was grumpy from being woken up earlier and at them for not keeping their promise. She smiled and coaxed him, saying, "Tommy, let's go tomorrow, okay?" "Mommy, really? You're not lying to me?" Tommy opened his eyes and grinned. It was easy to coax kids out of their bad moods.
"I'm not lying. We’ll go to the amusement park tomorrow," Bianca said.
Although it was not the best timing, Luke and Bianca did not want their children to wait too long.
As parents, they had to lead by example.
Tommy clapped his hands happily and said, "You're the best parents ever!"
Bianca turned her head and glanced at the side of the road. They were five minutes away from the mansion where Allison lived.
"When you see Grandma later, please greet her and don’t touch anything, okay?" Bianca told the child.
Allison displayed obsessive-compulsive traits and was very sensitive about others touching her belongings without her permission.
"We will, Mom." Blanche and Rainie agreed to her request.
After the car arrived in front of Allison’s mansion, Luke got out of the car and pressed the doorbell.
It was Elsa who answered the door. Her heart was beating like a drum when she saw Luke standing at the entrance. "Mr. Crawford, are you here to see Madam Allison?" "Yes, is she here?" Luke took a step back and looked at Elsa with a calm expression.
He was a little surprised that Allison would hire such a young woman to serve her. She had always been reluctant to admit the fact that she was getting old, so the people she hired were all middle-aged people as they made her seem younger in contrast.
"Yes, she’s here. Come in!" Elsa looked at Luke fanatically and thought that he looked much more handsome in real life!
She opened the gate so that his car could get in.
Luke sat in the driver’s seat, drove into the mansion, and stopped in the parking lot.
Bianca helped the kids out of the car. Only then did Elsa realize that Luke's wife had come along with him.
Elsa felt jealous when she saw Bianca’s delicate and elegant features.' This woman is living a good life. She's good-looking and married such an astonishing man.' "Sir, Madam, Madam Allison is having breakfast now. Please follow me." Elsa put away her emotions, took the gifts they were holding, and walked in front to lead the way.
Tommy hopped around while holding Bianca's hand. When he saw more of the luxurious mansion, he said, "Mommy, Grandma lives in such a big mansion by herself. Isn’t she afraid?" "Shhh." Bianca made a gesture to Tommy to signal him to keep quiet.
This was her first time in Allison's mansion, which was larger and more luxurious than the one where the family lived.
When everyone thought that Luke had an accident, Allison took the money that Luke allocated for her and bought this mansion. Bianca also heard rumors that Allison went into a bidding war for this mansion and ended up spending a lot of money.
Bianca knew that it was not her place to say anything. After all, the money did belong to Allison.
Tommy took the hint and stopped talking.
Elsa walked into the dining room, smiled, and said, "Madam, your son and daughter-in-law have come to visit you."
Allison panicked the instant she heard that Luke and Bianca were here. She asked, "Why are they here?"
Elsa saw her panicked look and was confused. She replied, "They're in the living room now. Madam, your grandchildren are so beautiful."
She was telling the truth. She rarely saw children as adorable.
Allison was upset and overwhelmed with guilt. When Luke visited in the past without prompt, she used to be overjoyed. However, considering that there were a lot of antiques hidden in her mansion at that moment, she wanted the family to stay as far away as possible.
She waved her hand and said, "Put these away." "Yes, Madam." Elsa immediately put away the plates on the table.
Allison walked to the living room and looked at Luke and Bianca with a blank expression. Her tone was sharp as she said, "Aren't you busy? Why are you free to drop by today?"
Bianca explained with a smile, "Mother-in-law, Luke bought you a fruit basket. It has your favorite cherries." "I don’t need it." Allison was still expressionless, but she was extremely flustered on the inside. She was forcing herself to hold her cool.
Bianca was surprised at this change in attitude from Allison.
Rainie and Blanche looked at each other. They said sweetly, "Grandma, we missed you so much."
While Allison looked at the children's cute faces, she was still thinking about the antiques. Although they were locked in a safe and Luke was probably not aware of it, she just could not calm herself down. Hence, she covered her forehead with her hand and pretended to be sick. "I’m not feeling well today. If you have nothing else to talk about, please leave."
Seeing that Allison was not willing to back down, Bianca looked at Luke helplessly. This was possibly the angriest Bianca had ever seen her.
She had put in the effort to get Luke to come over and make peace, but Allison's attitude was so...
Luke put his hands in his pockets and looked at Allison who was acting abnormally. He asked, "You took the box that Dad left, right?" "Yes," Allison replied subconsciously.
When Zachary Crawford left, he had left a box for Luke. There was nothing valuable in it. There were just some of his personal items inside.
When Allison moved out of Crawford Manor, she had taken the box with her.
"I want to have it," Luke said.
Allison was a little impatient and replied, "It's in the study. There's nothing in that box, why do you want to take it?" "He left it for me." Luke headed straight upstairs.
Allison realized that the safe was in the study when Luke was already walking up the stairs. She stomped her feet and was angry at herself for forgetting such an important thing.
"Wait here, I’ll get it for you." She hurried to catch up with Luke.
Luke did not stop when he heard what Allison said and continued to move forward.
Allison followed along and they both went upstairs.
Bianca and the three children stood there waiting.
Rainie looked up at her mother and asked, "Mom, why does Grandma look nervous?"

Allison followed along and they both went upstairs.
Bianca and the three children stood there waiting.
Rainie looked up at her mother and asked, "Mom, why does Grandma look nervous?"
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1027-Protector Of His Family
Simon could not keep his eyes off Rainie. Luke said in a cold tone, "I’m not responsible if you get lost." "Uncle Luke, I'll follow you closely and make sure I don't get lost." Simon gave a thumbs up.
There were many people around. Tommy was small and might get separated if they did not pay close attention. Hence, Luke picked up Tommy. As for Simon, Luke was not interested in babysitting other people's children.
When Luke would not grant him permission, Simon looked at Bianca with pursed lips. "Aunt Bianca, my life is so miserable. Since getting a younger sister, my dad doesn't care about me anymore. I'm a poor orphan."
The three bodyguards broke out in a cold sweat when they heard what their young master said. If his father heard this, they would be punished.
Seeing Simon acting sad, Bianca softened up and said, "Okay, but don't run around. You have to be obedient." "Okay, Aunt Bianca. I'll listen to every word you say. I’ll protect Rainie!" As soon as he got permission from Bianca, Simon smiled, patted his chest, and promised.
Blanche despised him and thought that Simon was a good-for-nothing who acted pitifully and pretended to be miserable to make his mother sympathize with him.
"Mommy, Daddy, I want to ride the Ferris wheel." Tommy ignored their conversation and pointed to the Ferris wheel not far away. To him, having fun was the most important thing.
Bianca touched the child's head. "Okay.”
The group of them walked to the Ferris wheel. Simon being a part of their group meant that they were given priority to get on the Ferris wheel.novelbin
They did not have to line up and went on almost all the rides.
After playing for the entire day, they found a restaurant and sat down.
Bianca breathed a sigh of relief. She could not keep up with her children. Their energy was never- ending, and they did not feel tired after walking around the entire amusement park.
She ordered juice for the four children and a cup of coffee for Luke. She sat down and said, "I’m glad we had the bodyguards with us today. Else, I wouldn't have known what to do."
Luke put his phone back in his pocket, his expression looking solemn.
Bianca noticed it and knew instinctively that something had happened. She put her hand on the back of his hand and asked, "What's the matter?" "Gordan found the address," Luke said sternly.
"Do you want to go now?" Bianca's heart tightened. When she looked at him, she knew that something bad was about to happen.
"I want to spend time with the kids today," Luke said as he put his arm around her.
Blanche listened to the conversation between the two. As the eldest among his siblings, he said sensibly, "Daddy, Mommy, we had a great time today and there are no suitable rides left for us. Why don’t we go home?"
Luke and Bianca looked at them.
Rainie also chimed in, "Yes, I’m so tired. Let's go home."
Tommy looked at his brother and sister. He had enough fun and agreed with them. ‘Go home! Go home!"
Seeing that the children had the same thoughts, Bianca looked at Luke and said, "The kids and I will take a taxi home. You can take the car."
Gordan was in a hurry, but Luke decided to let them drive the car back. "I'll take a taxi, and you drive them back." "Okay." Bianca nodded.
Luke looked at the bodyguard at the side and said, "Send this kid back, and tell your boss to take care of his son on his own."
The bodyguard nodded and left with Simon.
As he walked away, Simon kept turning his head to look at Rainie. He said," Rainie, see you in school!" "Hmph." Blanche snorted coldly. He knew that Simon just wanted to take advantage of his sister.
Bianca and the children said goodbye to Luke at the entrance of the amusement park. Then, she drove them back.
Blanche sat in the passenger seat. He thought about it for a while and asked, "Mommy, is Daddy going to settle the issue of the break-in at Crawford Manor?"
Bianca told him the truth, "Yes, the bad guys will be caught soon."
There was a look of concern in Blanche's eyes. "Mommy, ask Daddy to be careful." "Your dad will take care of himself, don't worry. He won't get hurt. He’ll protect all of you," Bianca said. Luke was the protector of their family and he always ensured their safety.
"Yeah." Blanche nodded and looked out the car window.
The other side of town.
Luke took a taxi and arrived at the address given by Gordan.
Gordan complained as Luke walked over. "What took you so long?" "Stop talking nonsense. Where?" Luke said with a stern expression.
"We have to find it. This is where the car stopped last." Gordan put out his cigarette. "Based on the timestamp, she was here for a full half an hour." "The alleys don’t have any surveillance cameras," Luke said. The car would not stop here for no reason. It must be because it could not get in.
"Let’s go in and have a look," Gordan said, "Leave this to me."
The two of them walked into a narrow alley one after the other and looked at the dilapidated buildings around them. It was an area for those with lower socioeconomic status.
Several women heard the footsteps and walked out. The moment they saw
Luke and Gordon, their eyes lit up as they shouted, "Handsome! Do you want to come in for tea?"
Luke frowned as he could tell that these women were involved in shady business. If they dared to approach him, they would die the next second.
Gordan understood his friend's temperament. However, these women were their source of information and they could not afford to offend them.
"Let me talk to them," he said hurriedly and stepped forward while holding a stack of cash in his hand. "Beauties, I have some questions for you.”
The women's eyes brightened when they saw the cash in his hand. "Ask us anything! We’ll tell you everything we know."
Gordan held up his fingers and motioned to them to be quieter.
They stood in the corner, and five minutes later, Gordan passed the banknotes in his hands to the women.
"There’s an update." He smiled and walked to Luke. "This is a red-light district. Most of them are h*okers. A man named Jon lives at the end of the street."
Luke could smell tacky perfume on him and retreated in disgust. "Lead the way." "Your obsessive- compulsion is acting up again. It's terrible." Gordan deliberately took a step closer and waved to the women. "Beauties, thank you for your time." "Handsome, you're welcome." The women laughed. "Come and visit if you have the time."
Gordan continued walking while talking, "From what I heard, Jon was locked up twice for theft but he didn't steal much so he wasn't behind bars for long. They haven't seen him in a while and are not sure if he's in jail."
Luke put his hands in his pockets and looked cool.
Gordan continued, "Do you think that a thief like him has the ability to steal from Crawford Manor?" "Someone helped him." Luke reminded him.
"Yes." Gordan stopped in front of a room and said, "I think we’re here." "Knock on the door." Luke did not intend to lay a finger on the mossy door. The expression on his face was one of extreme disgust.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1028- I Didn't Mean It
Gordan looked around and knocked on the door, which caused the caked dust on the door to fall off. His hands were covered with dust.
"Looks like there's no one inside," he said as he dusted his hands. He did not know how long it had been since the door was last cleaned. Even though he was not a clean freak, he was reluctant to touch it.
Luke glanced around at the dilapidated houses. "Ask around. I'll make a trip to the police station." "Leave this to me." Gordan gestured an "OK" and promised that he would complete the mission. He would go around and collect information about Jon.
At ten o'clock, after Bianca coaxed Tommy to sleep, she went to the living room and made herself a cup of tea.
Ever since they left the amusement park, she had not received any news from Luke.
She did not disturb him because she knew that he was busy investigating.
She sat on a cushion, turned on her laptop, and began to design.
At eleven o'clock, she could hear a car stopping outside. Bianca stood up, but she had been sitting in the position for too long, so she could only support herself with the couch while she waited for the blood to flow into her legs.
Luke came into the house and noticed that Bianca was standing next to the couch while bent over. He walked over quickly and he sounded concerned. "What's wrong, Bea? Are you feeling unwell?"
Bianca looked at him and smiled helplessly. "My leg fell asleep."
Luke glanced at the laptop on the coffee table and could tell that she had been working in the living room. "You should work in the study next time," he reprimanded her.
Bianca clung to his arm. "I wanted to wait for you to come home, but I was too engrossed in my work, so I didn't pay attention to how I was sitting..." "Sit down. Let me massage it." Luke took her hand and sat her down on the couch. novelbin
Bianca rested her legs on the couch. His warm palms gently laid on them, brought them onto his lap, and began to massage them.
He could feel the smooth and fair skin in his palms, which made him give extra care while massaging.
His movements were gentle, and the strength was just right. As the numb sensation dissipated, Bianca could not help but moan comfortably.
Luke looked at her face. He could never resist her adorable sounds.
"I didn't mean to do it." Bianca covered her face in embarrassment when she realized that the sound was quite misleading.
Luke shook his head and continued to massage her legs.
After a while, Bianca could feel that her legs had returned to normal. She laid her hands on his and said, "I'm fine now. Are you hungry? I've prepared supper for you."
Luke had stayed in the police station for the entire afternoon to find more information about that man named Jon.
That name was too common, and the police officers had to look through all the profiles named Jon one by one.
"I'm hungry." Luke kissed her lips. He had not had his dinner yet.
"I'll go heat it up. You can eat soon." Bianca put on her slippers and headed to the kitchen.
Luke leaned on the couch and looked at her design. Several parts were undone, so he took the laptop and finished it for her.
When Bianca came out with the supper, she saw that he was messing with something on her laptop. "What are you doing?" "I've found some data mistakes on your design. I'm correcting them for you.
" Luke did not raise his head. He was calculating something.
Bianca placed the food on the coffee table and said, "It's already late. You should eat something, but not too much. Otherwise, you might find it hard to fall asleep later." "Mm." Luke appreciated her care. After changing the last data field, he put the laptop down. The hot food on the coffee table whetted his appetite. He picked up a bowl and ate some soup.
Bianca sat next to him. She took her laptop and noticed that the problematic data fields had been corrected.
She saved the project, turned off the laptop, and looked at him obsessively.
After Luke ate, Bianca was not in a rush to clean up. She looked at him and said, "You must be tired." "I'm not." He shook his head and told her his findings.
Bianca sighed after hearing that. The more he investigated, the more that Allison seemed suspicious.
She stacked up the bowls and plates. At the kitchen, uke pinned her waist to the kitchen counter and breathed over her. It was an intimate scene.
Bianca lifted her head and was dazzled by the bright fluorescent light on the ceiling. "It's already very late. You should take a shower and sleep." "I've neglected you recently, Bea. I'll accompany you tonight." Luke hugged her waist. After the intimate massage, Luke wanted more.
Bianca gently pushed him away by his chest and shook her head. "Nah, I have something going on tomorrow."
Luke continued to rub her waist as though massaging it. The pulses aroused her sensations in each of her cells. "What is it?" "Leia wants me to go to the bridal boutique with her," Bianca said helplessly.
"Don't go," Luke said without hesitation when he heard that name.
Leia brought nothing but trouble. It was best to stay away from her.
Bianca looked at her. "I couldn't decline. I'll go and meet her, then find some excuse to leave."
She and Leia were Queenie's daughters. If she did not go, Queenie might think that she was not a good elder sister to Leia.
"What a troublesome woman," Luke cursed. Before Bianca reunited with Queenie, Luke should have been more ruthless and made Leia disappear from the country.
His mercy in the past had led to trouble now.
Bianca smiled. "Don't worry, what could possibly happen?"
Luke lifted her up, which made her squeal in surprise and wrap her arms tightly around his neck.
"I'm worried. Bring a few bodyguards," he said as he walked toward the stairs.
"That'll be too flashy..." Bianca frowned and looked into his eyes. It took Leia a lot to make the marriage with Brody happen. She would not do anything to ruin it.
"Nothing good can possibly happen when she's involved," Luke spoke disdainfully as he walked up the stairs.
I'll let Sean follow me, alright?" Bianca wanted to keep a low profile.
Luke knew what she was thinking and smiled. "That'll depend on your performance tonight." "Mm, I really have to go though." Bianca slumped on his shoulder. "How about tomorrow night?" "I'm aroused now." Luke kicked open the door, stepped inside, and closed it. He placed her on the bed and leaned close to her. "You're not the one trying out the gowns tomorrow, Bea. It'll be fine."
Bianca opened her mouth but said nothing.
"You're not going to refuse, right?" Luke said.
"It's already so late..." Bianca said helplessly. She would not have asked him for the massage if she knew that the massage would arouse him.
Luke reached out, turned off the bed light, and hugged her. "It's late indeed.
Let's sleep."

"Where are you now?" After the call was answered, Bianca returned to her car, closed the door, and locked it. Xavier's words earlier had unnerved her. She was worried that someone might jump out of the bushes and harm her.
Sean replied, "I'm on the way to the bridal boutique now, Madam. I'll be there in ten minutes." "Bring a few more bodyguards there," Bianca said. According to Xavier, someone must be ambushing her at the bridal boutique.
If she went there prepared, she might be able to find out who was behind that, and she might be able to set up precautions.
Even if she evaded danger today, she would have to live uneasily in the future.
Sean was surprised. He instantly sounded worried. "Did something happen, Madam?" "It's nothing. Just do as I say." Bianca fastened her seatbelt and prepared to leave.
"Understood. Should I tell Boss?" Sean asked. From Bianca's stern tone, he could sense that something would happen.
Bianca remembered that Luke was busy with the investigation and the upcoming annual shareholders' meeting. She did not want to bother him, not to mention that Xavier might be trying to deceive her. 1 "Don't let him know. I'll go to the bridal boutique now." Bianca started the car.
"Alright, Madam."
After the call, Sean instantly contacted several bodyguards and told them that they needed to be at the destination in half an hour.
Ten minutes later, while Bianca was still driving, Leia called her again.
She answered the call impassively. "I'm driving." "Where are you? I'm going to try on the gowns soon." Leia glanced at the bridal boutique. Brody had booked the entire boutique, so there was no one else other than her and the sales clerks.
She felt uneasy when it was almost the appointed time and Bianca was not there.
"You can go and try it yourself first. I'm still driving," Bianca replied coldly. If what Xavier said was true, the ploy might be related to Leia.
She was bitterly disappointed. She had never done anything to Leia, but Leia had tried to harm her repeatedly.
Bianca's grip on the steering wheel became tighter when she thought of that.
Leia cursed under her breath when she heard the busy tone from her phone. She looked to her left and right but did not see Hera's men.
"Is she pranking me?" She dialed Hera's number. If she missed the opportunity, it would be very hard for her to ask Bianca out again.
Hera answered the call quickly.
"Where are your men?" Leia asked nervously. She spoke very softly because she did not want anyone to hear her.
Hera sounded much calmer. "Why are you worried? They're already there." "I don't see anyone." Leia looked around.
"They won't be professionals if you can spot them," Hera said derisively, wondering why that malicious woman would be so restless despite committing so many evil deeds. "You'd better behave normally and don't give away anything. Bianca will definitely die. If you don't want any trouble, you'd better pretend that you don't know anything."
Leia took a deep breath after Hera's reminder. After she calmed down, she said, "I know. When your men come in, don't hurt me." "Don't worry. Just hide in a corner. No one will hurt you," Hera said impatiently and ended the call.
Leia's hand that was holding the phone was shaking.
Seeing that Leia's face was pale and she was flustered, the sales clerk brought her a glass of warm water. "Are you alright, Ms. Norman?" She asked.
"I'm fine." Leia put her phone into her handbag and looked around the bridal boutique, trying to find a safe spot when Hera's men would come in.
The sales clerk handed the glass to her. "You look pale, Ms. Norman. Do you want to sit down and rest for a while? I'll bring you some catalogs."
Leia held the glass. The water warmed her icy palms.
Half an hour later, Bianca arrived at the bridal boutique. She found a roadside parking spot and parked her car.
She did not immediately get out of the car but instead called Sean. Soon, Sean came with three bodyguards and surrounded her car.
Bianca opened the car door, stepped out, and closed the car door in one fluid motion.
She looked around. The four people that were surrounding her were very eye-catching. Everyone that walked past her looked at her.
"What are you looking at, Madam?" Sean was nervous. From Bianca's expression, he could tell that something bad was about to happen.
Bianca shook her head. "Let's go in." "Yes." Seeing that his employer did not say anything, He raised his guard. The four men stood on both sides and escorted her in.
The bodyguards were former soldiers. They were there to ensure Bianca's safety.
The staff of the bridal boutique was shocked by that formation. It took them a while before they reacted. "Good morning, Madam. A guest has booked the entire boutique today." "I'm Leia Norman's elder sister. Is she here yet?" Bianca asked.
"Oh, this way, please." The sales clerk led her away. Leia had already told them that her elder sister would be coming, so the sales clerk did not suspect anything.
Bianca followed the sales clerk while Sean walked in front of her cautiously, in case the sales clerk wanted to harm her.
When Leia heard the footsteps, she hurriedly stood up. Her bulging stomach made it hard for her to move, and she could only push herself up with the couch. When she turned around and looked at Bianca, she was stunned.
Why was she surrounded by so many men? They all looked like bodyguards. novelbin
Bianca had never brought bodyguards along with her, but now there were four. Was she suspecting something?
Leia felt uneasy and walked over. "You're here, Bianca."
Bianca noticed the stack of catalogs next to the couch and skipped the pleasantries. "Have you tried anything yet?" "Not yet, Bianca. I was waiting for you to help me choose." Leia took her hand and led her to the couch.
Bianca could smell the pungent perfume from Leia's body. She looked at Leia's high heels. Leia was still so vain even though she was heavily pregnant; she did not care that it would be dangerous for her baby.
"You should pick something that doesn't put too much pressure on your stomach," Bianca said.
Leia smiled sweetly. "You're right, Bianca. There are so many designs though, please help me choose one. Ever since I've gotten pregnant, I feel that my eyesight is getting worse. You're a designer, and you should have an aesthetic eye."
