Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1071- Where Is Bianca? Is She Dead?

The most amusing thing was that Brody was hugging another woman sleeping in bed when Wayne found him. Brody did not know what happened until the woman woke up and screamed until she lost her mind when she saw all the blood.

It had already been eight hours, and the doctors could not do anything.

News soon spread throughout A City, and Leia slowly lost interest in him after that. She did not mind marrying a eunuch, but she did not want to be marginalized in the Hilton household together with him.

Brody's father had many illicit relationships with women, and it was not surprising if he had other sons elsewhere. If he decided to select another son to inherit the family business, the family would have no reason to object. When that happened, Brody would not have any standing in the family.

Wayne did not leave behind any traces. The Hiltons did not know who did the job, and Tania was helpless about it.

"Don't say that, Wayne." Leia clung to him and unleashed her charm on him. "Grandma introduced Brody to me because she could not bear to see Dad and Mom play favorites. She doesn't want me to suffer here."

Wayne glared at her fiercely.

Leia was afraid, but she continued to speak to buy herself more time." Other than that, she's been very nice to me despite knowing that the Bianca b*tch is her biological granddaughter. If I follow you, I won't get to be by her side anymore, so I thought I'd spend one last birthday with her before leaving."

Wayne hugged her with one arm.

Leia was shocked. She thought that his hand was going to go around her neck...

"Please, Wayne?" She begged softly.

"I'll let you stay for a few more days, as long as you satisfy me today."

Wayne grinned evilly and pinched Leia's chin.

"Mm, you're so naughty, Wayne." Leia forced a smile on her face, though she was thoroughly appalled.

While Wayne went wild on her in that long night, Leia clenched her fists, thinking, 'He'll be dead soon...

'Soon...'

Hera went to the airport early the next morning.

When she saw Abel come out of the arrival gate, she smiled and waved her hand.

Abel came over and hugged her slender waist. "Long time no see, beautiful lady. Do you miss me?"

Hera blushed. She giggled and leaned onto him. "Of course I miss you. I think of you every day and every night."

Abel might be a foreign man, but any woman in A City would fall for his handsome looks.

"Good girl," Abel said as he pinched her chin.

The two people left the airport and took a cab to Maxine's hotel.

In the car, Hera asked him, "Why were you gone for so long?” "I was very busy. Why, are you sad?" Abel ignored the driver's curious gaze and continued to tease Hera.

"I wasn't sad, silly. I'm being annoyed to death," Hera grumbled. She did not say who or what was annoying her because the driver would overhear it.

Leia had been a pest to her. Hera could not live in peace because of Leia's incessant urgings.

"Oh? I'll have to compensate you forthat tonight." Abel sniffed her cheek.

The driver could only shake his head helplessly. 'Sigh, young people these days!' He thought.

Maxine had already informed the hotel staff of their arrival. When they reached the hotel, the staff brought them upstairs and pressed the doorbell.

Maxine opened the door and saw the two people outside. "Come in," she said.

Abel was mildly surprised when he saw Maxine's pure-looking face and wondered why her demeanor changed completely after only two months.

Hera took Abel's arm, and they went into the suite. She clicked her tongue when she saw the interior, thinking that Maxine must be loaded to stay long -term in such a lavish place.

"How did you come here?" Maxine asked Abel as she closed the door.

"I took a flight." Abel smiled. After leaving the Island of Despair, he disguised himself and took a plane from the Moscow airport.

Maxine was shocked. 'Aren't you worried that you might be discovered?" "Luke doesn't even know who abducted Bianca. Why should I be afraid?" Abel said. As far as everyone else was concerned, he was a law-abiding citizen of Moscow.

Maxine was not very happy when she heard him say that about the man she loved.

However, knowing what Abel could do, she knew better than to lose her temper in front of him. "You should have kept a lower profile. If the immigration police suspect you for the slightest bit, they’ll be able to track you down."

Abel seemed unperturbed. "As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest. I'm not going to be afraid. Isn't that so, beautiful lady?"

Hera smiled gently. "I trust in your abilities." "Good girl." Abel kissed her.

Hera's heart fluttered, and she leaned closer to him.

Maxine looked at the couple contemptuously.

Suddenly, she thought of Bianca. She narrowed her gaze and asked Abel." Where's Bianca? Is she dead?" "She's not dead yet," Abel answered truthfully. "I'll be letting her off too easily if she dies. And Luke, too."

Maxine became nervous. When she knew that Abel was taking his revenge on Luke, she had suggested he take his revenge on Bianca instead, so that Luke would live on in agony.

Contrary to what she expected, Abel did not kill Bianca but instead abducted her. Bianca's whereabouts were unknown... novelbin

"I want Bianca dead, Abel," Maxine said viciously. She did not spend so much money to keep Bianca alive.

"I don't want Bianca dead." Abel narrowed his gaze, and the smile disappeared from his face.

"But you promised me..." Maxine toned down her arrogance when she saw Abel's terrifying expression.

"I promised you to make Luke live in agony, and for that, I need Bianca," Abel said. "Ms. Douglas, when you asked me to change my target from Luke to Bianca, it's because you don't want Luke to die, right?"

Maxine and Hera exchanged glances. She could tell that the man was not an idiot, but even the woman next to him was also thinking of the same thing.

"Now that Luke is alone, you have a long time to seduce him. If you can't do that, it's because you're incapable. Don't tell me you're expecting a package deal?" Abel said mockingly.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1072- A Business Deal

Abel’s mocking comment made Maxine blush. She was used to being pampered, and other than Luke, no other man had ever treated her like that before.

That made her even angrier.

"Looks like you've been seduced by Bianca too," Maxine said coldly.

"Alright, that's enough. Aren't we on the same side? We shouldn't be quibbling." Hera stepped up to be the mediator when she saw that the atmosphere was becoming tense. It would be bad if Maxine made Abel angry before the deed was done.

Maxine grunted coldly, sat on the couch, and turned her head away.

Abel lit up a cigar and dragged from it. "You don't have to worry about Bianca. Now that she's with me, she'll be begging for me to kill her." "That better be the case." Maxine paused for a while and added, ’ Not only that, but I want her to give up entirely on Luke." "I think so too." Abel laughed brazenly as he leaned on the couch. The main objective of his visit was to ask Maxine for a favor.

"Help me get some photos," he said.

"What photos?" Maxine finally turned to look at him.

Abel grinned. "Photos of Luke with other women."

He wanted Bianca's love for Luke to die entirely, then be reborn from the ashes. If she had nothing but hatred for Luke, she would lose all hope of reuniting with him. Desperate women like that would be easily manipulated.

Maxine chuckled coldly. "You might as well find someone to edit those photos for you. Why did you have to come all the way here?" "That won't be convincing. This is the latest drug. If Luke takes it, he'll fall unconscious and be under your control." Abel took out a small vial from his pocket.

Maxine's eyes sparkled when she saw that.

Abel knew what she was thinking, so he reminded her, "He'll be unconscious, but he won't do anything else.”

Maxine was not embarrassed that Abel guessed her thoughts. She asked," Do you have any other drugs?" "Yes, but the side effects are serious. If you don't give Luke the correct dose, he might be impotent for the rest of his life." Abel took out a blue vial and flashed a sinister grin. Do you want this? If Luke is impotent, he won't have any other women." "No." Maxine refused instantly and rolled her eyes at him. She wanted to be physically intimate with Luke, but she would not want to permanently harm him. novelbin

Abel did not try to convince her. He stashed away the vial and took out a name card. "Once you get the photos, you can send them to my email." "Sure." Maxine narrowed her gaze as she looked at the white vial. With the drug, she could definitely take some nice photos.

She could not help but be happy when she realized that she was involved in Bianca's torment.

After that, Abel talked about the next topic. "Ms. Douglas, I have some business for you. I wonder if you'd be interested." "What business?" Maxine replied carelessly, her attention fully focused on the vial.

"These two drugs," Abel said while taking out the blue vial once more." These are the newest products from our lab. They'll bring huge profits if you manage to market them?"

Abel needed funds to redevelop the Island of Despair, so he asked Shanks to invent the drugs.

"Didn't you say that it'll cause permanent damage?" Maxine frowned. She had no intention of investing in it.

"As risky as it might be, there'll always be a market for it. You don't have to worry about that," Abel said. Lust was a major driver of human behavior.

He knew that people would buy the drug to satisfy their personal desires.

"I can't market this in the country. What kind of collaboration are you looking for?" Maxine became serious. She finally understood Abel's true purpose in meeting her.

"My lab has many other drugs that can cure various diseases, and they're much more effective than what you can find in the market now. As long as I receive funding, I can apply for patents, and there'll be plenty of chances for us to collaborate," Abel said. There was money to be made in both channels.

He could not market certain drugs openly, so he had to look for Maxine.

She was the perfect partner because both of them had dirt on each other.

Maxine sank into deep thought. Investing in a pharmaceutical startup required a lot of money, and she could not make that decision.

"Can you give me a few days to think about it?" She said.

"I can only give you one day. If you don't give me an answer, I'll just have to look for another partner." Abel did not give her too much time to consider." I'm very confident in my researcher, Ms. Douglas. I can say that any drug on the market now isn't as effective as what he's making." "Alright." Maxine saw that he was in a hurry to look for a partner. "Is there anything else?" "That's all." Abel could tell that she was hinting at him to leave. He hugged Hera and stood up. "You can contact me with your decision

before this time tomorrow." "Mm." Maxine planned to discuss it with her parents. To Capital Corp, the amount that Abel asked for was not a lot. However, it was a lot of money for her.

Abel brought Hera to the door. "Beautiful lady, how about we rent a room here?" "Sounds good. I'll be able to accompany you for the next few days." Hera was very excited. With him around, she would be able to enjoy the services of the six-star hotel for the next few days.

"Good. I like it when you are proactive." Abel hugged her waist. Before he left the room, he turned and spoke to the woman behind him. "Luke Crawford might like women with pure looks, but he is more fond of women who are self-reliant. Think about it, Ms. Douglas. Luke's attitude toward you might change if he finds out that you're not relying on your family's wealth."

Maxine looked at the couple contemptuously.

'Hera is really daring. Isn’t she afraid that she'll die in the hands of that man?'

After they left, Maxine kept the vials and took out her phone. She prepared to call her parents to discuss funding Abel's venture.

If something bad happened to the company in the future, they would only be losing money.

They were not responsible for the company's operations, so they would not be implicated.

If the company was a success, she would be swimming in riches. After all, hospitals were the most profitable ventures. So many people in the world fell sick every day, and everyone needed medicine to survive.

That made her even more determined to invest in Abel's venture. She dialed her father's phone number.

After leaving Maxine's room, Hera took Abel's money to book a presidential suite.

She came back up with the access cards and a smile on her face. Then, she held Abel's hand and waved the access cards. "We'll be staying next door."

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1073- Killing Wayne

Looking at Hera's face, Abel smiled but did not say anything. The couple went into the suite.

He would not refuse any woman who offered themselves to him. Moreover, Hera was quite bodacious.

An hour later.

Abel leaned on the headboard and smoked a cigar. Hera took his cigar, kissed his cheek intimately, and took a drag of the cigar. She instantly coughed out loud.

"Ugh. Why is this cigar so spicy?" She frowned and handed the cigar back to him.

Abel took the cigar, not feeling any pity for the woman. "It's spiked with something."

His cigars were too strong for ordinary people. Only one woman in the world could accept the cigar, and that woman was Kassy.

Indeed, no other woman compared to her.

"It's spiked? What did you put inside it?" Hera was shocked.

Abel smiled mockingly when he saw the change in her expression. "Don't worry, you'll be fine."

Hera breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that. She leaned on his chest again and looked up at his sculpted chin. "Where have you been? I can't even get through you on the phone. Don't you know how much I missed you?"

Abel enjoyed her gentle and cloying speech.

"I went back to where I came from, of course. I can't possibly hide Bianca in any random place," he said.

Luke was all-powerful in A City. When Abel decided not to kill Bianca, he did not linger in A City in case he was discovered.

Hera nodded and continued asking curiously, "So where are you from? I can go and look for you if I miss you." "Where I'm from..." Abel's gaze turned profound. Was she trying to pry information from him?

Too bad, no matter how beautiful or seductive she might be, he would not tell her about the Island of Despair.

Abel extinguished the cigar with his fingers and lifted Hera's chin. "Why do you want to know? Do you want to be my housewife?" "I'm only curious, silly." Hera could tell that Abel did not intend to tell her, and she was smart enough not to pry into his secrets. Instead, she changed the topic. "How long are you going to stay here?" "That will depend on Maxine Douglas," Abel said. In other words, if Maxine would agree to invest in his venture, he would go back immediately.

"If that's the case..." Hera thought of how Leia had pleaded to her, so she grabbed his chest. "Can you do me a favor?" "I'm always happy to serve a beautiful lady." Abel held her hands.

Hera told him about Wayne and Leia, then eagerly waited for an answer.

"Wayne Blatt?" Abel seemed to have remembered that name. He had agreed to dispatch that person, but he had to change his plans after he changed his decision on Bianca's fate.

"Yes. Leia has been bugging me. Why don't you help free her from that man's clutches?" Hera said.

"I can do that." Abel nodded. After all, he needed to find something to kill time while waiting for Maxine to get back to him.

"Yay!" Hera cheered. She wanted to take her phone to call Leia.

"Don’t call her yet. Spend your time with me instead." Abel took her hand.

Hera slumped coyly into his embrace. "Naughty you!" "Heh, so what if I'm naughty? I thought you liked that." Abel smiled seductively.

Leia received Hera's call that evening. After hearing that help would come soon, she breathed a sigh of relief and told Hera that Wayne would be coming to her house tonight.

"Leia, do you mean that you want him to kill Wayne in your house?" Hera asked.

Leia was stunned for a while. She did not know where Wayne was hiding, so the deed could only be done in the Norman residence.

"I don't have any other choice. If that man is in a rush to go away, my home will be the only option," she said decisively, not expecting that the police would suspect her if Wayne died in her house.

"Very well, you're very assertive. It looks like you're not worried that you might be implicated. I'll go and make arrangements," Hera said with a smile and ended the call.

Leia took a deep breath. Was she being assertive? She was forced to do so.

She would not have done that if Bianca, Wayne, Jack, and Queenie had not forced her to take such drastic actions.

At night, Abel infiltrated Leia's bedroom according to the map that Leia had given him.

He was very nimble, and he did not trigger any of the security measures. Leia was not afraid of the man in the mask. Instead, she felt quite confident when she faced him.

The man would be able to deal with Wayne!

"Where should I hide?" Abel asked her.

"Over there!" Leia pointed at the open closet. "Wayne will be coming later, and he'll definitely open the closet to see if I've packed my bags. You can kill him right then."

Abel looked at the spacious closet and frowned. "So you mean I should kill the first person who opens the closet?" "Don’t you have Wayne's photo? Make sure that it's him before you do anything drastic." Leia bit her lip. She did not want him to kill the wrong person.

"I've seen his photo alright, but I don't want to lose the advantage of surprise. If I give him any chance to react, both our lives will be in danger. Don't touch the closet if you don't want to die." As Abel said that, he went into the closet and closed the door.

Leia tried to stay calm as those words rang in her head. Everything would be over by tonight.

She opened the door and stepped out.

By ten o'clock, Leia was lingering outside her bedroom.

"Leia? Why are you standing there?" Queenie noticed her when she came upstairs.

"It's nothing. I thought I've forgotten something, so I'm trying to jog my memory," Leia said, feeling a little nervous when she saw her mother.

She hoped that Abel would not make too much noise.

"What did you forget?" Queenie looked at the closed bedroom door. Seeing Wayne coming out of the door had left an impression on her.

"It's nothing. Why aren't you sleeping yet, Mom?" Leia was afraid that Queenie would open the door. She put her hands on Queenie's shoulder and smiled.

"Your dad isn't back yet, and I can't sleep." Queenie sighed. Jack had been busy with official matters, and he would only return home close to midnight.

"You're not a child anymore, Mom. Don't tell me that you can only fall asleep if Dad is sleeping with you?" Leia took her hand and brought her to the master bedroom. "If you can't sleep, how about we chat for a while?" "Don’t you have something else to do?" Queenie asked as Leia led her to the master bedroom.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1074-It's Either Wayne Dies or She Dies "What else could be more important than spending time with my mother?" Leia smiled innocently.

Queenie felt relieved seeing her daughter like that. Ever since Leia lost her baby, she had been blaming them for not saving her child or her relationship with Brody.

She might still be holding that grudge if not for Brody’s accident.

After the incident, Queenie could sense that Leia was growing apart from her and her husband. She wanted to mend the relationship, but Leia did not give her the chance to do so.

It had been very long since Leia behaved so warmly toward her. Queenie thought that Leia had perhaps forgiven her.

"Good girl. Come sit beside me." Queenie smiled warmly and patted the space next to her.

Leia took off her slippers, reclined on the bed, and hugged Queenie's waist.

She could not help but think of what was going to happen in her bedroom.

Queenie felt Leia's presence beside her. She sighed when she thought of Bianca, who was still missing. "It would be so nice if your sister is still here."

She would want her daughters to be by each of her sides.

A hint of viciousness appeared in Leia's eyes when Bianca was mentioned, though she did not express it in her voice. "Mom, can you tell me a story?" "Story?" Queenie was surprised. "What story?" "You know, the stories you used to tell me when I was younger. I'd like to listen to them again." Leia lifted her head and looked at her innocently. "I was thinking that if I have a child, I'd read her bedtime stories like how you used to."

Queenie smiled gently and patted her head. "You're grown-up now, but you still want to be told bedtime stories. What do you want me to tell?" "Anything is fine, as long as you're the one telling it," Leia said while leaning close to her.

Queenie thought for a while and began to tell her a story.

Her voice was gentle and soft, but Leia was not paying attention. She tried to listen to any noise coming out of her bedroom.

However, the walls were too well-insulated, and she could only hear Queenie's voice. That made her even more worried.

If Abel failed to kill Wayne, Wayne would kill her.

There was no way to explain to Wayne why a man was lying in ambush in her closet, i

Either she or Wayne would die tonight!

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Abel waited quietly in the closet for Wayne to appear.

Suddenly, he heard a slight noise, but it was not the door opening. Abel was sure that it was not Leia or any of her family members.

It meant that the person was Wayne...

Abel clenched the dagger in his hands tightly. The footsteps outside were closer and closer, and a bloodthirsty grin appeared on his face.

At the moment Wayne opened the closet doors, Abel stabbed his body with a dagger. He was very familiar with human anatomy, so he knew where to stab to ensure certain death.

Abel's dagger plunged into Wayne's kidney and twisted.

"Who... are you?" Wayne looked at the dagger in his body in shock. Then, he turned his gaze toward Abel.

"Your killer." Abel did not give him the chance to recover. He pulled out the dagger and wanted to pierce his throat.

Wayne gritted his teeth and dodged the attack.

Blood kept pouring out from the hole in his body. If the wound was elsewhere, he might be able to fight back. However, his organs were injured, so he could only dodge.

Abel's next few attacks missed. "You're not bad, but you still have to die!" "Why... do you want to kill me?" Wayne's strength was rapidly draining away. He stumbled and fell on one knee.

Seeing that Wayne could not fight back, Abel laughed brazenly and pointed his dagger to Wayne's chin. He was quite impressed with Wayne's combat prowess, but he thought that Wayne was stupid to let down his guard because of a woman.

"It's not me. It's your woman." Abel covered his mouth and plunged the dagger into his neck.

The dagger severed Wayne's jugular vein. Blood splattered on Abel's body.

"Heh, what a fool." He took a napkin and wiped his blade clean.

Wayne fell to the floor. His body twitched for a while, and his eyes glazed over.

He was dead.

Seeing that his mission was complete, Abel whistled a happy tune. Indeed, the scent of warm blood from the jugular vein was the sweetest of all. He took the debit card that Leia had prepared for him and jumped from the balcony.

Wayne's blood was still flowing. Soon, it covered the entire floor.

Close to midnight, Leia's phone vibrated. Her heart skipped a beat, and she picked the phone up. It was a message from Hera.

After seeing the codeword, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The codeword meant that Wayne was dead...

Leia could not control the excitement in her heart, though she had to pretend that nothing happened.

Queenie looked at her suspiciously. "Leia?" "I'm feeling a little sleepy, Mom. You should rest too," Leia said with a smile.

Queenie nodded in agreement.

"The bed is already warm, Mom. You don't have to get up. I can go back by myself. Looks like Dad won't be coming home that early tonight, so you don't have to wait for him. Dad will feel sorry for you if you get eyebags." Leia did not know the condition of her bedroom, so she would rather Queenie not go with her.

"Sigh, you're so considerate. Alright then, sleep tight." Queenie lay on her bed.

Leia walked out of the room with a smile. Back at her bedroom, she took a deep breath before opening the door.

The fluorescent lamp was lit. Her heart fluttered when she saw the spreading pool of blood on the floor. The man lying there was Wayne!

He did not move at all. The blood was beginning to coagulate.

Leia took a deep breath and clenched her fists. The man who had tormented her was dead. After this, no one would be able to threaten her. Her life was beautiful again!

She let out a panicked cry. "Ah! Help!"

Then, she slumped on the floor and pretended to faint.

Queenie was startled by her daughter's cry for help. She instantly got out of her bed and ran toward Leia's bedroom. When she saw Leia slumped on the floor, she was scared out of her wits. "What happened, Leia?"

Leia could hear her mother calling her, but she did not open her eyes. It was the best option to pretend to be unconscious.

She could not hide the joy in her eyes, and she did not want other people to see it, so she might as well close them and pretend that she had fainted.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1075-Wayne Was Found Dead In Leia’s Bedroom

Queenie turned around and wanted to get her phone to dial for emergency services when she caught a glimpse of the pool of redness in Leia's room.

"Ahh!" She noticed the man lying in the middle of the pool. It was Wayne Blatt, the wanted criminal!

Queenie's face turned pale, and her heart started to pound faster. She could not catch her breath, and she fell on the floor and passed out.

Leia felt a thud next to her. She opened her eyes slightly and saw Queenie passed out next to her. 'Useless!' She thought.

She continued to lie on the floor. Her surroundings were totally quiet, and her nostrils were filled with the thick stench of blood. The blood belonged to Wayne. She would have gone into the room and felt the blood turn cold with her fingers if not that it would be hard to explain her actions later on.

Leia did not feel very comfortable, but she did not want to get up. Instead, she remained in that position and waited for her father to return.

Meanwhile, Abel evaded all the security cameras, left the Norman residence, and went into Hera's car.

"Ugh, why is there so much blood?" Hera asked. Her stomach began to churn when she smelled blood.

"I slit that man's throat," Abel said. There was still a glint of bloodthirstiness in his eyes.

Hera could not help but shudder when she heard that. 'You slit that guy's throat? How barbaric!' "Are you hurt?" She pretended to be concerned.

"That's not possible," Abel said while taking off his clothes. He had prepared another set of clothes because he knew that the encounter was going to be bloody.

Hera was quite surprised by Abel's ability to kill another person without getting injured.

She knew that Wayne was a special forces soldier who had injured several police officers while escaping.

However, Abel could kill him without getting hurt. As she started the car, she asked, "What are you going to do with those clothes?" "Find somewhere hidden and burn them." Abel was not going to leave any trace of his crime.

"Okay.” Hera knew where such a place was, so she drove there.

The next morning, Luke was woken up by a call from Percy.

"Serious news." "What is it?" Luke was worried that the news might concern Bianca.

Hearing Luke's anxious tone, Percy said, "Don't worry, it's not about your wife. It's Wayne Blatt."

He felt slightly relieved when he heard that it was not about Bianca. "What happened to Wayne?" novelbin

Wayne was being wanted throughout the country. They had suspected that Wayne was related to Bianca's disappearance, but they did not have any evidence.

"Wayne Blatt is dead. His body was found in the Norman residence. When Mr. Norman came home last night, he found his wife and daughter passed out on the floor, so he called the police. The body was found in a horrific state. The police haven't announced anything yet; they don't want to cause a panic," Percy said. He had just received the information too.

"Did Leia kill him?" Luke asked. He knew that Leia had a grudge against Wayne.

"What a creative guess. There's not a hint of blood on Leia's body. The entire bedroom floor is covered with blood, but there were none of her footsteps either. It meant that she wasn't in the room when Wayne died, and she passed out when she saw the body. The police are still investigating the reasons behind the murder, but I think that it's too suspicious," Percy said. He called Luke to tell him his suspicions.

"Indeed, it's suspicious." Luke stood up. "If Wayne is found dead in the

Norman residence and Leia isn't the killer, the killer must be someone else.

Who could they be, and why would they want to kill Wayne?" "I guess that they want to help Leia..." Percy guessed. "From the preliminary autopsy findings, the killer isn't a weak woman like Leia." "Well have to get to the bottom of this," Luke said decisively. He planned to go to the police station later.

"Sure. I knew you'd say that." Percy could guess that Luke would want to investigate the matter, so he had already made arrangements.

After the call, Luke went downstairs. Old Master Crawford and the children were already eating their breakfast at the dining table.

"You're awake." Old Master Crawford nodded at Luke. "Eat your breakfast.

You'll be very busy today." "You already know what happened at the Norman residence?" Luke asked.

"Mm. The police want to withhold the news, but they can't withhold it from me," Old Master Crawford said and took a sip of milk. "I heard about the news earlier. You should go over to the Norman residence and see if they need any help." "Mm." Luke nodded and sat down.

Lanie overheard the conversation and asked curiously, "Daddy, what happened at Grandpa's house?" "It's nothing. You should eat more." Luke placed a bread roll on Lanie's plate.

Lanie did not ask any more questions. He knew that it was a matter among the adults.

After breakfast, Luke sent the children to school, then went to the Norman residence.

Police officers were going in and out of the Norman residence. Jack was sitting on the couch with a solemn expression on his face.

The caretaker came and told him, "Mr. Crawford is here, Sir." "Ask him to come in," Jack lifted his head and said. He knew that Luke would be here. After all, Luke had suspected that Wayne had abducted Bianca.

Now that Wayne was dead, Bianca's abductor was unknown.

Luke came into the house and nodded at Jack. "Dad." "Mm." Luke stood up. The police were almost done with gathering evidence. He brought Luke upstairs and said, "You're quite well-informed." "You can't hide news this big for too long," Luke said. The police said that they withheld the news so that there would not be a panic, but actually, they were doing it to maintain Jack's reputation.

A wanted criminal was found dead in a high-ranking official's house. Before the official investigation results were out, the resulting gossip would be extremely disadvantageous for Jack.

"I know. I'm only hoping that they'll find out something soon." Jack sighed as he looked at the police officers walking to and fro. "The fact that Wayne Blatt is found dead in Leia's room is enough to spawn a thousand rumors."

He brought Luke to Leia's bedroom. The area was still off-limits. Standing beyond the cordon, Luke could see the dried patch of blood on the floor.

All of that blood belonged to Wayne Blatt.

Wayne died because someone slit his throat. When Jack called the police, there was barely any blood left in his body.

The stench of blood was still thick in the air. There were not many signs of battle in the room, but Luke could make several observations.

For example, the blood-stained photo album. Wayne must have toppled it after he was injured.

According to the police markers, the corpse was facing a wall. If Wayne was attacked from behind, blood would have splattered on the wall.

However, there was only one spot of blood on the wall. It must mean that the person who slit his throat must have been standing in front of him, and most of the blood splashed on that person's body.

Jack sighed when he looked at the mess in the room. His eyes were lifeless, as though he had aged ten years overnight.

"Did they bring Wayne's body away?" Luke asked.

"They did," Jack said worriedly. "His jugular vein was completely severed by a sharp blade."

That was the coroner's preliminary finding. When Jack saw Wayne’s body, he could even see the bones inside. It was a gut-wrenching sight.

Luke was not that interested in Wayne's death. He was so concerned because Wayne might have known something about Bianca's disappearance.

Now that Wayne was dead, Luke had no other leads.

His phone started ringing. He went to the balcony before answering it."

What is it?"

The call was from Percy. "I've found the man you want. My men have just tied him up. Where do you want me to deliver him?" "Your house," Luke said. Ever since he found out that Xavier had harassed Bianca the morning she went missing, they had been trying to find the man. Xavier had hidden himself well, and it took them so long to find him.

"I'll go over now." He left the balcony immediately.

Luke went to tell Jack. "You can call me if you need anything, Dad. I have to go now." "Alright then. I won't bother you." Jack waved his hand, indicating understanding.

As far as he knew, Luke was only a businessman, and he would not be of much help in these circumstances. He was afraid that his political enemies would take the opportunity to bring him down and bring trouble to his wife and daughter.

Meanwhile, Percy looked at Xavier, who was bundled up like a burrito. He smiled sinisterly and told the driver, "Back to the mansion." "Yes, Sir," the driver replied and started the car.

Xavier tried to struggle, but his entire body was tied up, and he found it hard to even wiggle his toes.

Sensing movement, Percy turned his head and glanced at him. He did not want to get himself involved, but his subordinates called him to tell him that they found Xavier at a ranch in the outskirts.

Without hesitating, he drove there to capture Xavier himself. As expected, he found Xavier there and tied him up.

Xavier glared at him and did not say anything.

He had been hiding at the ranch for the past few months. The only time he left the place was when he went to warn Bianca.

He did not want to flee abroad. He hid there so that he could dig up some dirt on Luke.

Unfortunately for him, he did not manage to prevent Bianca from being abducted, and his hiding spot was found. Even so, Xavier did not beg for mercy.

The car drove back to Percy's mansion.

After Percy got out of the car, he told his subordinates, "Bring him to the living room. We'll hand him to Luke when he comes." "Yes." Two burly men came over, picked Xavier up, and went to the living room.

Percy sauntered to the wine cellar and selected a few bottles of red wine from his collection. He would be bringing those to Nina's mansion later.

"Sir, Mr. Crawford is here," the butler said as he walked into the cellar.

"That's fast." Percy was still holding onto a bottle of wine, not expecting that Luke would arrive so quickly. He handed another bottle of red wine to the butler, "Open and decant this."

The butler took the bottle and went away.

Percy selected a few more bottles. He would bring them along with him.

Back in the living room, he saw Luke sitting opposite Xavier.

He went over and asked him, "Did you manage to find out anything?"

Luke stared intently at Xavier. He had been sitting there for five minutes, and Xavier did not say a word.

Seeing that no one said anything, Percy shrugged, sat down on the couch, crossed his legs, and stared at Xavier. He might be a captive now, but he was not going to divulge what he knew so easily.

The butler brought the decanter and several glasses to the living room." Your wine, Sir." "Mm." Percy poured two glasses of wine and handed one of them to Luke. He took the other one, leaned back on the couch, and looked at Xavier lazily.

Seeing that the two people were looking at him, Xavier closed his eyes to avert their gazes.

Luke chuckled and took out a stack of documents from his briefcase.

"You brought something? What is it?" Percy picked up the documents curiously and flipped through them. "I didn't expect you to do this. Not bad, Xavier, I can see that you've been a burden to your father."

Xavier opened his eyes. "Just kill me."

It was his misfortune to be captured.

"Look at this." Percy brought the document in front of Xavier and flipped to the first page.

Xavier's eyes widened when he saw the document. "How dare you do this, Luke Crawford!" "Where is Bianca?" Luke crossed his arms in front of him. His tone was low and sinister, like a devil.

Xavier clenched his fists and glared at Luke. "Relinquish those shares."

The document indicated that Luke was one percent away from holding a dominant stake in Tanner Corporation.

The purchases were done in secret. The Tanners were not aware of that.

Percy could not help but chuckle when he saw Xavier’s bloodshot eyes. He thought that Luke would not be able to make Xavier open his mouth so easily.

'How... boring.'

He took a sip of his wine and decided to let Luke do his thing.

"Tanner Corporation will be safe as long as I can find Bianca," Luke said gloomily. In other words, if Xavier did not cooperate with him, he would not hesitate to ruin the business.

Xavier's eyes were blood-red. He knew that Luke had been putting all his time and effort into searching for Bianca, but he did not expect that Luke had been trying to take over his family business at the same time.

He truly regretted offending Luke.

"I don't know where she is," Xavier said hoarsely. If Tanner Corporation fell, his livelihood would be gone.

Luke did not believe it. "You've been hiding in the ranch, and you only appeared on the day that Bianca went missing. Don't try my patience, Xavier Tanner. You might be tough, but the rest of your family isn't as tough as you."

The fear in Xavier's heart grew. He knew that Luke was capable of carrying out his threats.

If Luke did not spare Tanner Corporation, then Tanner Corporation would surely fall!

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1077-Make Me Breakfast Too

Xavier thought that he was quite pathetic.

However, that was all because of Bianca. He looked at the stack of documents in front of him and considered carefully. Finally, he decided to spill the truth. "I only know that someone wanted to harm Bianca that day, but I don't know who the culprit was." "Tell me everything that you know,’ Luke ordered. He had already dispatched his subordinates to the ranch, and he would soon find out if Xavier was lying.

"You can't imagine how powerful that person can be." Xavier glared at Luke with bloodshot eyes. "I've also been trying to search for Bianca ever since that day, but I've never managed to find her. Luke, if I can't find her, you won't be able to find her either."

Xavier was quite confident of his methods, but he had not been able to find anything ever since Bianca was abducted.

Luke narrowed his gaze and looked at Xavier.

Xavier was not afraid. "That's all I know. You must be sending your subordinates to the ranch now, and they will bring you all the information I have. You can continue the investigation if you have the ability."

TH get to the bottom of it, and I'll bring Bianca back. What did you tell her on that morning?" Luke asked.

"I knew that someone was going to harm her, so I went there to warn her. Unfortunately, Bianca is irredeemably silly. She knows that someone wants to harm her, yet she thinks that she can find out who that person is. What do you think happened then? If she could trust in you a little more, all this wouldn't have happened!" Xavier said.

He had been thinking of that ever since he started searching for Bianca.

If Bianca were a little more reliant on Luke, she would not have been abducted.

Luke narrowed his gaze as the anger in his heart grew.

Bianca knew that she was in danger, but she did not inform him. That had caused him much regret.

If he had stayed with her on that day, all of that would not have happened, and Bianca would still be with him.

Percy noticed the change in Luke's expression and said, "What do you want to do with him, Luke?" "Hand him to the police," Luke said.

"Understood." Seeing that Luke had gotten what he wanted from Xavier, Percy got his subordinates to bring Xavier to the police station.

After the bodyguards went away, the living room once again fell into silence.

Luke took his wine glass and downed its contents. novelbin

Percy shook his head. "What a waste of good wine."

Luke ignored his comment. He poured himself another glass and drained it.

Percy snatched the bottle. "Don't waste my fine wine. At least appreciate it a little."

Luke put his glass down and sat there.

"Stop blaming yourself for what happened to Bianca." Knowing what Luke was thinking, Percy put the bottle down and patted Luke's shoulder. "She wanted to thrive without always relying on you. You can't blame anyone if the accident happened."

Bianca came from a different background compared to Luke. It was not surprising that Bianca wanted to be self-reliant too.

Luke crossed his arms in front of him. His expression was gloomy.

Percy knew that there was no point in trying to convince him. Luke would have to walk out of his depression himself.

Half an hour later, Jason came in with a box. He placed the box on the coffee table and said, "Boss, this is what we found on the ranch."

Percy glanced at the documents that filled up half of the box. "That's all from Xavier?" "Yes. Most of it is related to Madam," Jason replied. He did not know which ones were useful, so he brought everything over.

Luke tipped the box over. Percy held his hand and said, "Let me help you." "No need." Luke refused and began to search the contents of the box.

Percy sighed and turned to look at Jason. "What else did you find?" "There were no other findings. Xavier had been focusing on his search for Madam," Jason said politely.

Percy wagged his hand in understanding.

Luke flipped through the documents. Xavier had conducted a thorough background investigation on Bianca and the people who were close to her.

However, the page on Bianca's abduction remained blank.

Disappointedly, Luke put the documents on the table.

Percy could not bear to see his friend like that. He placed the wine bottle on the table, stood up, and said, "Looks like I'll have to waste this bottle of wine on you."

Luke picked up the bottle. Instead of pouring the wine into the glass, he poured it into his mouth.

"Don't give up yet. We're still on the case, and we’ll find Bianca eventually," Percy said as he looked at his dejected friend.

Luke did not reply. He continued to drink the wine.

Percy turned around and said to the butler, "Look after him and make sure he doesn't drink too much. Get someone to drive him home too." "Yes," the butler replied and nodded.

Percy went back to the cellar to pick up the bag of wine bottles. Then, he drove to Nina's house.

Nina happened to wake up late today. She had just changed her clothes and was preparing to make breakfast before going to work.

Now that Bianca was missing, Nina and Sue were taking care of the company on her behalf.

She turned around when she heard the footsteps and was surprised to see Percy.

"Shouldn't you be at work?" "Shouldn't you be at work?" The two people said at the same time.

Nina was surprised again, though she was the first to answer. "I woke up late, and I'll be going to work soon."

Percy nodded and placed the bag on the table.

Nina was speechless when she saw the bottles of fine wine. He used to not share the wine that he brought over, but recently, he had been asking her to drink with him.

She did not have the right to refuse.

"Are you making breakfast?" Percy smelled the aroma from the kitchen while he put the bottles in the cabinet.

"Mm," Nina replied softly. She did not usually make breakfast because she did not want the smell of food to taint the house.

She only treated herself as a temporary lodger in the house.

"What are you making?" After keeping the bottles, Percy went to take a look at the stove. Water was boiling in a pot, and she was holding a basket of eggs.

"Eggs on toast." Nina lowered her head and put two eggs into the pot.

"Make some for me too," Percy said. It was the first time he saw Nina make something in the kitchen.

Nina was a little flustered. She did not prepare enough ingredients, and she planned to bring the rest of the toast to work so that she could eat it for lunch.

"What's wrong?" Percy was unhappy seeing that Nina stood there.

"I... I don't think you'll like it," Nina said.

I'm not picky," Percy replied and took the basket of eggs from her hands.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1078-Percy Was Acting More And More Abnormally

Nina was stunned when she saw that Percy had poured all the eggs into the pot. She stirred it with a ladle, covered the pot, and turned around to prepare the toast.

The toast she prepared previously was only enough for her.

Percy crossed his hands in front of his chest. The sight of her preparing breakfast while wearing an apron brought an unprecedented surge of warmth to his heart.

Nina was preparing the salad and picked up her pace when she noticed his scorching gaze. She asked, "Is there any news on Bea?"

Although she woke up late, she knew that Percy had gotten up and left after answering a call. She heard him mention Bianca and Xavier Tanner.

"No." Percy shook his head, and his gaze shifted to the bowl full of washed cherries.

He stretched out his hand, picked two, and plopped them into his mouth. The cherries were big and sweet. They were delicious.

Nina wanted to say something but hesitated.

When Percy noticed her expression, he raised her eyebrows and asked," What's wrong?" "Those are for Kari and Teri." Nina was a little puzzled as Percy did not usually enter the kitchen nor eat fruits. He was acting a little abnormally.

To be specific, Percy was acting more and more abnormally.

"Jason Doyle's daughters?" Although Percy was indifferent to these kinds of things, he had heard about the twins due to Jason's tormenting ex-wife who had done a lot of absurd things.

"Yeah, Kari and Teri were clamoring for cherries yesterday.’ The water in the pot was boiling. Nina took out two large plates and put them aside. She then picked up the ladle, lifted the lid, and scooped the eggs out.

"Are you still taking care of the kids?" Percy asked.

"Kari and Teri don't have to go to school for these two days, and the babysitter is occupied, so Sue had to bring them to work." Nina was not sure why she was explaining so much to Percy, but she still told him everything.

'Didn’t she say that she isn't a fan of kids? Why is she still helping Sue take care of them, then?' Percy thought to himself.

He asked, "I thought you don't like kids?’

Nina was not sure how to react.

She put the salad aside, chaotically toasted some more bread, and then put them on two separate plates.

Nina knew that Percy had a large appetite, so she deliberately put more slices of toast on his plate before she topped the salad off with her special sauce.

The recipe was shared with her by Anna.

Nina's heart sank when she thought of how Anna was in the hospital waiting for surgery. Anna had decided to undergo a liver transplant, but there was no suitable donor for her. Nina's were not a match,

so the only option was to wait for Sean to get out of prison before they could proceed with the transplant. 1

Sean had about half a year left to serve in prison, but after considering Anna's condition, the court reduced his sentence. Sean would be released in half a month.

When that time came, she was not sure whether she would be happy or sorrowful.

The breakfast prepared by Nina wafted with a tempting aroma that excited Percy. As he stared at the plates of breakfast on the kitchen island, all he could think of was when he could eat.

Nina took out a tray and wanted to put the plates on the tray before serving them.

Percy stepped forward and said, ‘Til do it.’

He picked up the two plates with both hands. Nina was worried that they were too hot to hold. She held the tray and suggested. "Let's place them here?" "No worries.” Percy walked out holding the plates without a bother in the world.

Nina placed the tray back, picked up some utensils, and headed out.

Percy was already sitting at the dining table. There were two steaming plates of eggs on toast on the table. There were blooming lilies in the vase on the table. The fragrance of the flowers and the aroma of the food stimulated her senses.

Nina sat on the chair and handed him a set of utensils.

Percy took it and ate the toast.

Listening to the clinking noise of the utensils colliding with the plate, Nina was not sure how to feel. 'Is there something wrong with me? Why does this make me feel wonderful?*

The other side.

The Island of Despair was tranquil. Bianca was lying on the bed, the silence making her feel extra lonely.

She glanced at the wall, and there were already many markings on it.

Every day, she would make a mark on the wall. Fearing that she would lose herself if she stayed here for too long, she started keeping a record of the days.

Everything was the same in the past few days. Her training was getting more intense while she was becoming more and more proficient.

Oddly enough, Abel had not made an appearance in the past few days.

Bianca rolled over and glanced at the clock. It was four o'clock in the morning, and she was having insomnia.

"Miss, are you awake?" Eler's voice came from behind her.

Bianca closed her eyes, not wanting to let Eler know that she was awake.

In the past month, she had never gotten a good night's sleep. Bianca would sleep for two or three hours at most before waking up from her dreams of Luke and the kids.

Bianca did not tell anyone about her pain and suffering. She knew that if she told someone about it, Shanks would find a way to help her.

However, she did not need help.

Bianca missed Luke and her kids, but she could not get out of her current situation, so she could only depend on her dreams to alleviate her lovesickness.

Although most of her dreams brought her pain, she was willing to endure it as those dreams helped her remember what Luke looked like.

Eler did not hear a reply from Bianca and thought that maybe she was overthinking. She then smiled and closed her eyes.

The next day.

Bianca and Eler went to the training ground together.

They then discovered that the trainer for the day was not a mercenary hired by Abel but Shanks.

"Mr. Shanks?" There was a hint of surprise in Eler's voice.

Shanks nodded and remained expressionless. Bianca glanced at Eler and thought that the blush on her cheeks was a little too obvious.

"Today, you’ll be attending my medical class." The tone of his voice was as cold as his expression.

Eler happily clasped her hands together and glanced at the instruments around them. These were commonly seen instruments in Shanks' laboratory. She did not see Amur so she asked, "Mr. Shanks, where's my brother?" "He’s in another training program," Shanks replied.

"Oh, okay. Mr. Shanks, we're ready." Eler's blue eyes were shining as she looked at him admiringly.

Bianca understood what this look meant. She shook her head and looked down at the instruments in front of her.

'We’re doing a medical class today?’

She did not know that Abel had prepared such a course for her. 'Is he not afraid that I'll learn how to poison him after this?'

Bianca was deep in her thoughts when she heard Shanks say, "Today, I'll teach you the basics of medicine. You're not allowed to use any leftover materials. I'll be checking everything after class."

Bianca snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the materials in front of her.

She was not familiar with any of them. Shanks glanced at her, picked up the materials, and started teaching, 1

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1079- Luke Does Not Seem To Miss You That Much

Bianca listened carefully to his every word, unwilling to miss out on anything.

She had a basic understanding of the drugs in front of her after Shanks' explanation. She was a little disappointed to find out that these drugs would not cause much harm to the human body.

After Shanks went through the basics, he went on to teach them how to operate the instruments without checking whether the two of them could keep up with his pace.

Bianca was introduced to these instruments when she was in school.

Compared to Eler, she was much more proficient. After Shanks assigned them a task, she mixed the materials and completed the purification process not long after.

Shanks sniffed her end product and said as he nodded in satisfaction, "Not too bad. You’re done for the day."

Bianca raised her eyebrows. Since she arrived on the Island of Despair, today was the first time she knew she could get out of class early.

However, she was happy to leave. She took off her gloves, turned around, and walked out.

"Miss..." Eler held the test tube and looked like she was about to burst into tears. She looked at Shanks imploringly. She was fine serving others, but this was torture for her!

Shanks said with a cold expression, "You can only leave when you're done." "Mr. Shanks, this is too difficult for me..." Eler felt helpless. She did not get to go to school much back when she was in the village. Her family was not well-to-do, so she had given up the opportunity to go to school to her younger siblings. This was her first time being exposed to instruments like these.

Shanks did not react to her pleas and continued staring at her coldly.

Eler sighed and had no choice but to continue with the task at hand. Her mind was all over the place and she almost knocked over the lamp.

Bianca walked out of the room and looked at the bright corridor. The incandescent lights were constantly shining, reminding her of daylight.

She laughed mockingly. 'No matter how bright the lights are, I’m still underground where there’s no such thing as day and night. When the lights are off, the only thing left is endless darkness.'

When she saw Abel approaching, Bianca's body stiffened and she subconsciously wanted to turn around.

"Stop." Abel smiled wickedly the moment he saw her. He sped up his pace and stopped in front of her.

Bianca kept quiet and stared at the evil man.

Abel lifted her chin and asked, "Why are you so free?" "Shanks allowed me to leave early," Bianca said.

Abel was in charge of planning her schedule, so he had a grasp of the classes she took every day.

He increased the strength of his grip. He squeezed her face and asked, "Do you miss Luke?"

Bianca froze. The emotions in her eyes betrayed her.

"You miss him a lot, don't you?" Abel grinned, let go of her, and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He looked down at her and said, "Luke doesn't seem to miss you all that much, though." "What do you mean?" Bianca asked warily. ‘Luke doesn't miss me? Did he go to see Luke? Does he know that I'm trapped here?’

Seeing the looming hopefulness in her eyes, Abel wanted nothing more but to shatter it.

"I heard that Luke has been intimate with a woman recently. If it's not because he's still legally married to you, they'd already be walking down the aisle," Abel said. Maxine had not taken action, so he had no photographic evidence yet.

However, he did not need photos to start a rumor. All he wanted was to trigger Bianca.

"That's ridiculous." Bianca lowered her gaze and did not react to what he said. That was because she knew Luke was not that kind of person.

Although a few months had passed, she was certain that he was still looking for her, so Abel's words held no credibility.

"You don’t believe me?" Abel raised his eyebrows. He did not expect that his words could affect their relationship in the first place.

"If there's nothing else you want to talk about, I’ll go back to my room first." Bianca turned around and walked to her room.

Abel looked at her as she walked away. She was like a noble swan, unaffected by his words.

He pursed his lips. His eyes were like poisonous snakes, evil and scheming. He was interested to see how long Bianca could keep up her proud and confident appearance.

The moment Bianca walked into her room, she fell limply on her bed as though all her strength had been sucked dry.

"Luke...”

She had gotten a scare when Abel mentioned Luke's name.

Luke was still not aware of his true identity. If Abel approached him, she was afraid that Luke would suffer...

Bianca picked up the small stone on the side and carved a line on the wall. Another day had passed in this hell hole...

She touched her bulging belly. Although she was imprisoned, her physical condition was decent and their child was slowly growing up in her belly day by day.

Bianca put the stone aside and whispered, "Baby, if something happens in the future, don’t blame me for the choices I have to make."

Eler was finally done with the experiment and returned to the room. She saw Bianca spacing off, so she stepped forward and asked, "Miss, are you okay?"

I’m okay." Bianca was deep in her thoughts thinking of Luke and came back to her senses.

She had been thinking about everything and anything, including the identity Abel would use to approach Luke to retaliate against him.

She was in despair knowing that no matter what Abel did, she would still be imprisoned, unable to help Luke.

"You don't look so good. If you're feeling uncomfortable, don’t force yourself," Eler said with care.

"Mm." Bianca nodded and replied, "I’m a little tired, I want to lie down for a while." "Okay, take some rest, there's still some time before the next meal." Eler glanced at the clock on the wall. The Island of Despair followed a militarized schedule, so everything was in accordance with the rules and regulations.

Even a pregnant woman like Bianca was not exempted from the schedule.

Eler tucked her in and said, "Miss, Mr. Shanks just said that because your belly is getting bigger and bigger, it'll be inconvenient for you to continue on with the training. Until you give birth, we'll only be going to medical classes." "That's great," Bianca said with her eyes closed.

She liked medical classes not because they were easy but because poison was the only method that did not leave a trace of blood when killing.

"I think it’s so difficult." Eler considered Bianca a friend and would sometimes rant to her. "I don’t understand those instruments. The lamp almost exploded just now..."

Bianca kept quiet.

Shanks' class was not the same as those that ordinary medical students attended. He was efficient in his teaching, quickly allowing her to learn what she wanted to learn.

Based on the current progress, she should be able to gain a lot of medical knowledge before giving birth.

Eler looked at her and said with envy, "Miss, I'm envious of you. It’s both our first time learning about this but you managed to finish Mr. Shanks' assignment so quickly. Unlike me, I feel stupid and ashamed." "Practice makes perfect." Bianca comforted her and made a mental note. Eler did not realize that whenever she mentioned Shanks, her tone conveyed a sense of admiration.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1080-Teenage Crush

Eler nodded and said shyly, "It was so scary just now. Fortunately, Mr.

Shanks was there to help..."

Bianca's expression was calm when Eler mentioned Shanks again.

She noticed how shy Eler would get whenever she mentioned Shanks. It was exactly how a 19-year- old girl would act when she had a crush on someone.

Eler noticed that Bianca was silent. The thoughts in her mind were overwhelming her, so she blushed and asked, "Miss, you're more knowledgeable than me. What kind of girls do you think Mr. Shanks likes?"

Bianca shook her head to indicate that she had no clue.

Abel had once mentioned that the reason why Shanks was helping him retaliate against Luke was that the love of his life died from the bombing of the Russian army.

From that, she could determine that Shanks was a loyal and affectionate man. No other woman could hope to have a happy ending falling in love with him.

"Sister!" Amur walked in, his expression instantly changing when he heard what Eler said.

Eler was taken aback as she did not expect that her secret would be overheard by someone else.

"Amur..." She was a little upset that Amur had heard it.

Their village was destroyed and their parents were killed. Amur hated everyone on the Island of Despair, including Shanks.

Amur's expression was sour, but he did not want to comment in front of Bianca. Hence, he said, "Sister, can I talk to you outside?"

Eler pursed her lips and looked reluctant.

She also hated the people from the Island of Despair, but Shanks was excluded. She fell for him because she believed that Shanks was a good person.

Bianca felt the tension and persuaded Eler. "Go. It's best that both of you clear things up."

Eler reluctantly walked out to avoid disturbing Bianca. Amur closed the door.

Seeing that her involvement was no longer required, Bianca lay on the bed and closed her eyes.

"You like Shanks?!" Amur's eyes were red as molten anger rolled through him. He asked directly without thinking whether it would hurt Eler’s feelings.

"Mr. Shanks is very nice." Eler retorted with a blushed face, her lips trembling slightly. She did not understand why he was so disgusted.

Shanks was different from the others on the Island of Despair.

"Sister, you can't fall for the men here. They're horrible people." Amur was overwhelmed by emotions and grabbed her shoulders.

Although he was thin and weak, he was still taller than her.

Eler looked up at her brother and said, "Amur, he’s different from others. Others hurt us, but Mr. Shanks would never. He treated you before... How can you forget the kindness he has shown you?" "Forget? Sister, you're the one who has forgotten!" Amur was irritable seeing that he could not persuade her to

change her mind. He turned around and kicked the wall a few times. Months of training had made Amur stronger. He could see cracks in the bricks.

"Amur, what are you doing?!" Eler immediately grabbed his arm. If Abel saw Amur acting like this, he would be locked up.

Amur's face was contorted with rage. He turned to look at Eler and said," Have you forgotten that our parents died because of the poisonous gas? Aside from Mr. Shanks, who else do you think has the capability to create that poisonous gas?"

When Abel led the mobsters to attack the village, he took away all the young laborers. Hethen ordered for the remaining middle-aged and elderly laborers to be locked in a house where poisonous gas was released.

Their parents were also inside that house...

Eler was taken back. She said, "Mr. Shanks' drugs are used to save people.

The poisonous gas may have been created by others..."

Amur was disappointed that Eler was obsessively siding with Shanks. "On the entire island, he is the only one with that ability." 'Others? Does she think that the blockheaded mercenaries have the ability to create poisonous gas?’ "That’s impossible..." Eler still refused to believe him.

"I created it." Out of the blue, Shanks' voice sounded.

Eler and Amur turned to look at him. Eler’s face was pale. She could not believe what she just heard. "Mr. Shanks, how could you?" "The poison gas you're talking about is indeed my creation. I prefer to study drugs that can kill compared to those that can save lives." Shanks' blue pupils were motionless and reminded Eler of a bottomless abyss. She was unsure whether what he said was the truth.

Eler took two steps back, her eyes filled with despair. She could not believe that she had fallen for a murderer.

Amur was shaking uncontrollably. His hands curled into fists, and he wanted to kill Shanks.

Bianca opened the door of the room and looked at Eler and Amur with a cold expression. When Amur was about to lose control, she said slowly," Eler, Amur, come in."

Amur was stunned. His mind was filled with thoughts of revenge, but Bianca’s words snapped him out of it.

Eler turned around, held Amur's hand, and rushed into the room.

After they walked in, Bianca nodded slightly and shut the door without bothering about Shanks.

Shanks looked at the brown iron door, then turned and walked toward the research lab.

In the room, Eler broke down. She squatted in a corner and silently cried while covering her face.

Bianca ignored her. Her gaze fell on Amur, who was still clenching his fists. She said, "Do you think you can beat Shanks up just after a few months of training?"

Amur's body shook, and he stood up straight in an instant. His clenched fists loosened and tightened again and again.

Bianca shook her head. Amur was blinded by hatred and could only think about the poisonous gas that killed his parents. He failed to see the bigger picture.

She said, "Amur, even without Shanks, your parents would've still died.

When Abel attacked your village, he had already planned to deal with those who stood in his way. Shanks is not the only one you should blame." As an outsider, she was well aware of Abel's wickedness. If Abel wanted to kill someone, he would do it no matter the cost-even if it meant risking his life.

Amur loosened his fists and stood there weakly. His head drooped, and he felt like a desperate loser.

He was burning with rage earlier and eager to avenge his parents, so he chose Shanks as his primary target.

One of the reasons was because Shanks was the creator of the poisonous gas. The other reason was that Shanks looked gentle and weak, so he thought that Shanks would not be able to fend for himself.

However, Bianca knew that one should never judge a book by its cover. Shanks may appear gentle, but if Bianca had not appeared just now, Amur might have already landed a punch and things would have taken a turn for the worse.

Maybe Shanks would have killed him, which would then drag Bianca and Eler down with him.

"Miss, I'm sorry." Amur apologized. Bianca's words made him realize that his enemy was Abel, while Shanks and the others were just his tools.

Even if the tools were dealt with, he may not be able to get the pleasure of revenge.

Bianca said, "I’m glad you’re seeing things clearly now. The training that you’re receiving during this period is not for you to exact your revenge now. You're not strong enough, and people who are not strong enough should not be thinking about revenge. It'll only lead to meaningless sacrifices.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1071- Where Is Bianca? Is She Dead?

The most amusing thing was that Brody was hugging another woman sleeping in bed when Wayne found him. Brody did not know what happened until the woman woke up and screamed until she lost her mind when she saw all the blood.

It had already been eight hours, and the doctors could not do anything.

News soon spread throughout A City, and Leia slowly lost interest in him after that. She did not mind marrying a eunuch, but she did not want to be marginalized in the Hilton household together with him.

Brody's father had many illicit relationships with women, and it was not surprising if he had other sons elsewhere. If he decided to select another son to inherit the family business, the family would have no reason to object. When that happened, Brody would not have any standing in the family.

Wayne did not leave behind any traces. The Hiltons did not know who did the job, and Tania was helpless about it.

"Don't say that, Wayne." Leia clung to him and unleashed her charm on him. "Grandma introduced Brody to me because she could not bear to see Dad and Mom play favorites. She doesn't want me to suffer here."

Wayne glared at her fiercely.

Leia was afraid, but she continued to speak to buy herself more time." Other than that, she's been very nice to me despite knowing that the Bianca b*tch is her biological granddaughter. If I follow you, I won't get to be by her side anymore, so I thought I'd spend one last birthday with her before leaving."

Wayne hugged her with one arm.

Leia was shocked. She thought that his hand was going to go around her neck...

"Please, Wayne?" She begged softly.

"I'll let you stay for a few more days, as long as you satisfy me today."

Wayne grinned evilly and pinched Leia's chin.

"Mm, you're so naughty, Wayne." Leia forced a smile on her face, though she was thoroughly appalled.

While Wayne went wild on her in that long night, Leia clenched her fists, thinking, 'He'll be dead soon...

'Soon...'

Hera went to the airport early the next morning.

When she saw Abel come out of the arrival gate, she smiled and waved her hand.

Abel came over and hugged her slender waist. "Long time no see, beautiful lady. Do you miss me?"

Hera blushed. She giggled and leaned onto him. "Of course I miss you. I think of you every day and every night."

Abel might be a foreign man, but any woman in A City would fall for his handsome looks.

"Good girl," Abel said as he pinched her chin.

The two people left the airport and took a cab to Maxine's hotel.

In the car, Hera asked him, "Why were you gone for so long?” "I was very busy. Why, are you sad?" Abel ignored the driver's curious gaze and continued to tease Hera.

"I wasn't sad, silly. I'm being annoyed to death," Hera grumbled. She did not say who or what was annoying her because the driver would overhear it.

Leia had been a pest to her. Hera could not live in peace because of Leia's incessant urgings.

"Oh? I'll have to compensate you forthat tonight." Abel sniffed her cheek.

The driver could only shake his head helplessly. 'Sigh, young people these days!' He thought.

Maxine had already informed the hotel staff of their arrival. When they reached the hotel, the staff brought them upstairs and pressed the doorbell.

Maxine opened the door and saw the two people outside. "Come in," she said.

Abel was mildly surprised when he saw Maxine's pure-looking face and wondered why her demeanor changed completely after only two months.

Hera took Abel's arm, and they went into the suite. She clicked her tongue when she saw the interior, thinking that Maxine must be loaded to stay long -term in such a lavish place.

"How did you come here?" Maxine asked Abel as she closed the door.

"I took a flight." Abel smiled. After leaving the Island of Despair, he disguised himself and took a plane from the Moscow airport.

Maxine was shocked. 'Aren't you worried that you might be discovered?" "Luke doesn't even know who abducted Bianca. Why should I be afraid?" Abel said. As far as everyone else was concerned, he was a law-abiding citizen of Moscow.

Maxine was not very happy when she heard him say that about the man she loved.

However, knowing what Abel could do, she knew better than to lose her temper in front of him. "You should have kept a lower profile. If the immigration police suspect you for the slightest bit, they’ll be able to track you down."

Abel seemed unperturbed. "As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest. I'm not going to be afraid. Isn't that so, beautiful lady?"

Hera smiled gently. "I trust in your abilities." "Good girl." Abel kissed her.

Hera's heart fluttered, and she leaned closer to him.

Maxine looked at the couple contemptuously.

Suddenly, she thought of Bianca. She narrowed her gaze and asked Abel." Where's Bianca? Is she dead?" "She's not dead yet," Abel answered truthfully. "I'll be letting her off too easily if she dies. And Luke, too."

Maxine became nervous. When she knew that Abel was taking his revenge on Luke, she had suggested he take his revenge on Bianca instead, so that Luke would live on in agony.

Contrary to what she expected, Abel did not kill Bianca but instead abducted her. Bianca's whereabouts were unknown... novelbin

"I want Bianca dead, Abel," Maxine said viciously. She did not spend so much money to keep Bianca alive.

"I don't want Bianca dead." Abel narrowed his gaze, and the smile disappeared from his face.

"But you promised me..." Maxine toned down her arrogance when she saw Abel's terrifying expression.

"I promised you to make Luke live in agony, and for that, I need Bianca," Abel said. "Ms. Douglas, when you asked me to change my target from Luke to Bianca, it's because you don't want Luke to die, right?"

Maxine and Hera exchanged glances. She could tell that the man was not an idiot, but even the woman next to him was also thinking of the same thing.

"Now that Luke is alone, you have a long time to seduce him. If you can't do that, it's because you're incapable. Don't tell me you're expecting a package deal?" Abel said mockingly.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1072- A Business Deal

Abel’s mocking comment made Maxine blush. She was used to being pampered, and other than Luke, no other man had ever treated her like that before.

That made her even angrier.

"Looks like you've been seduced by Bianca too," Maxine said coldly.

"Alright, that's enough. Aren't we on the same side? We shouldn't be quibbling." Hera stepped up to be the mediator when she saw that the atmosphere was becoming tense. It would be bad if Maxine made Abel angry before the deed was done.

Maxine grunted coldly, sat on the couch, and turned her head away.

Abel lit up a cigar and dragged from it. "You don't have to worry about Bianca. Now that she's with me, she'll be begging for me to kill her." "That better be the case." Maxine paused for a while and added, ’ Not only that, but I want her to give up entirely on Luke." "I think so too." Abel laughed brazenly as he leaned on the couch. The main objective of his visit was to ask Maxine for a favor.

"Help me get some photos," he said.

"What photos?" Maxine finally turned to look at him.

Abel grinned. "Photos of Luke with other women."

He wanted Bianca's love for Luke to die entirely, then be reborn from the ashes. If she had nothing but hatred for Luke, she would lose all hope of reuniting with him. Desperate women like that would be easily manipulated.

Maxine chuckled coldly. "You might as well find someone to edit those photos for you. Why did you have to come all the way here?" "That won't be convincing. This is the latest drug. If Luke takes it, he'll fall unconscious and be under your control." Abel took out a small vial from his pocket.

Maxine's eyes sparkled when she saw that.

Abel knew what she was thinking, so he reminded her, "He'll be unconscious, but he won't do anything else.”

Maxine was not embarrassed that Abel guessed her thoughts. She asked," Do you have any other drugs?" "Yes, but the side effects are serious. If you don't give Luke the correct dose, he might be impotent for the rest of his life." Abel took out a blue vial and flashed a sinister grin. Do you want this? If Luke is impotent, he won't have any other women." "No." Maxine refused instantly and rolled her eyes at him. She wanted to be physically intimate with Luke, but she would not want to permanently harm him. novelbin

Abel did not try to convince her. He stashed away the vial and took out a name card. "Once you get the photos, you can send them to my email." "Sure." Maxine narrowed her gaze as she looked at the white vial. With the drug, she could definitely take some nice photos.

She could not help but be happy when she realized that she was involved in Bianca's torment.

After that, Abel talked about the next topic. "Ms. Douglas, I have some business for you. I wonder if you'd be interested." "What business?" Maxine replied carelessly, her attention fully focused on the vial.

"These two drugs," Abel said while taking out the blue vial once more." These are the newest products from our lab. They'll bring huge profits if you manage to market them?"

Abel needed funds to redevelop the Island of Despair, so he asked Shanks to invent the drugs.

"Didn't you say that it'll cause permanent damage?" Maxine frowned. She had no intention of investing in it.

"As risky as it might be, there'll always be a market for it. You don't have to worry about that," Abel said. Lust was a major driver of human behavior.

He knew that people would buy the drug to satisfy their personal desires.

"I can't market this in the country. What kind of collaboration are you looking for?" Maxine became serious. She finally understood Abel's true purpose in meeting her.

"My lab has many other drugs that can cure various diseases, and they're much more effective than what you can find in the market now. As long as I receive funding, I can apply for patents, and there'll be plenty of chances for us to collaborate," Abel said. There was money to be made in both channels.

He could not market certain drugs openly, so he had to look for Maxine.

She was the perfect partner because both of them had dirt on each other.

Maxine sank into deep thought. Investing in a pharmaceutical startup required a lot of money, and she could not make that decision.

"Can you give me a few days to think about it?" She said.

"I can only give you one day. If you don't give me an answer, I'll just have to look for another partner." Abel did not give her too much time to consider." I'm very confident in my researcher, Ms. Douglas. I can say that any drug on the market now isn't as effective as what he's making." "Alright." Maxine saw that he was in a hurry to look for a partner. "Is there anything else?" "That's all." Abel could tell that she was hinting at him to leave. He hugged Hera and stood up. "You can contact me with your decision

before this time tomorrow." "Mm." Maxine planned to discuss it with her parents. To Capital Corp, the amount that Abel asked for was not a lot. However, it was a lot of money for her.

Abel brought Hera to the door. "Beautiful lady, how about we rent a room here?" "Sounds good. I'll be able to accompany you for the next few days." Hera was very excited. With him around, she would be able to enjoy the services of the six-star hotel for the next few days.

"Good. I like it when you are proactive." Abel hugged her waist. Before he left the room, he turned and spoke to the woman behind him. "Luke Crawford might like women with pure looks, but he is more fond of women who are self-reliant. Think about it, Ms. Douglas. Luke's attitude toward you might change if he finds out that you're not relying on your family's wealth."

Maxine looked at the couple contemptuously.

'Hera is really daring. Isn’t she afraid that she'll die in the hands of that man?'

After they left, Maxine kept the vials and took out her phone. She prepared to call her parents to discuss funding Abel's venture.

If something bad happened to the company in the future, they would only be losing money.

They were not responsible for the company's operations, so they would not be implicated.

If the company was a success, she would be swimming in riches. After all, hospitals were the most profitable ventures. So many people in the world fell sick every day, and everyone needed medicine to survive.

That made her even more determined to invest in Abel's venture. She dialed her father's phone number.

After leaving Maxine's room, Hera took Abel's money to book a presidential suite.

She came back up with the access cards and a smile on her face. Then, she held Abel's hand and waved the access cards. "We'll be staying next door."

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1073- Killing Wayne

Looking at Hera's face, Abel smiled but did not say anything. The couple went into the suite.

He would not refuse any woman who offered themselves to him. Moreover, Hera was quite bodacious.

An hour later.

Abel leaned on the headboard and smoked a cigar. Hera took his cigar, kissed his cheek intimately, and took a drag of the cigar. She instantly coughed out loud.

"Ugh. Why is this cigar so spicy?" She frowned and handed the cigar back to him.

Abel took the cigar, not feeling any pity for the woman. "It's spiked with something."

His cigars were too strong for ordinary people. Only one woman in the world could accept the cigar, and that woman was Kassy.

Indeed, no other woman compared to her.

"It's spiked? What did you put inside it?" Hera was shocked.

Abel smiled mockingly when he saw the change in her expression. "Don't worry, you'll be fine."

Hera breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that. She leaned on his chest again and looked up at his sculpted chin. "Where have you been? I can't even get through you on the phone. Don't you know how much I missed you?"

Abel enjoyed her gentle and cloying speech.

"I went back to where I came from, of course. I can't possibly hide Bianca in any random place," he said.

Luke was all-powerful in A City. When Abel decided not to kill Bianca, he did not linger in A City in case he was discovered.

Hera nodded and continued asking curiously, "So where are you from? I can go and look for you if I miss you." "Where I'm from..." Abel's gaze turned profound. Was she trying to pry information from him?

Too bad, no matter how beautiful or seductive she might be, he would not tell her about the Island of Despair.

Abel extinguished the cigar with his fingers and lifted Hera's chin. "Why do you want to know? Do you want to be my housewife?" "I'm only curious, silly." Hera could tell that Abel did not intend to tell her, and she was smart enough not to pry into his secrets. Instead, she changed the topic. "How long are you going to stay here?" "That will depend on Maxine Douglas," Abel said. In other words, if Maxine would agree to invest in his venture, he would go back immediately.

"If that's the case..." Hera thought of how Leia had pleaded to her, so she grabbed his chest. "Can you do me a favor?" "I'm always happy to serve a beautiful lady." Abel held her hands.

Hera told him about Wayne and Leia, then eagerly waited for an answer.

"Wayne Blatt?" Abel seemed to have remembered that name. He had agreed to dispatch that person, but he had to change his plans after he changed his decision on Bianca's fate.

"Yes. Leia has been bugging me. Why don't you help free her from that man's clutches?" Hera said.

"I can do that." Abel nodded. After all, he needed to find something to kill time while waiting for Maxine to get back to him.

"Yay!" Hera cheered. She wanted to take her phone to call Leia.

"Don’t call her yet. Spend your time with me instead." Abel took her hand.

Hera slumped coyly into his embrace. "Naughty you!" "Heh, so what if I'm naughty? I thought you liked that." Abel smiled seductively.

Leia received Hera's call that evening. After hearing that help would come soon, she breathed a sigh of relief and told Hera that Wayne would be coming to her house tonight.

"Leia, do you mean that you want him to kill Wayne in your house?" Hera asked.

Leia was stunned for a while. She did not know where Wayne was hiding, so the deed could only be done in the Norman residence.

"I don't have any other choice. If that man is in a rush to go away, my home will be the only option," she said decisively, not expecting that the police would suspect her if Wayne died in her house.

"Very well, you're very assertive. It looks like you're not worried that you might be implicated. I'll go and make arrangements," Hera said with a smile and ended the call.

Leia took a deep breath. Was she being assertive? She was forced to do so.

She would not have done that if Bianca, Wayne, Jack, and Queenie had not forced her to take such drastic actions.

At night, Abel infiltrated Leia's bedroom according to the map that Leia had given him.

He was very nimble, and he did not trigger any of the security measures. Leia was not afraid of the man in the mask. Instead, she felt quite confident when she faced him.

The man would be able to deal with Wayne!

"Where should I hide?" Abel asked her.

"Over there!" Leia pointed at the open closet. "Wayne will be coming later, and he'll definitely open the closet to see if I've packed my bags. You can kill him right then."

Abel looked at the spacious closet and frowned. "So you mean I should kill the first person who opens the closet?" "Don’t you have Wayne's photo? Make sure that it's him before you do anything drastic." Leia bit her lip. She did not want him to kill the wrong person.

"I've seen his photo alright, but I don't want to lose the advantage of surprise. If I give him any chance to react, both our lives will be in danger. Don't touch the closet if you don't want to die." As Abel said that, he went into the closet and closed the door.

Leia tried to stay calm as those words rang in her head. Everything would be over by tonight.

She opened the door and stepped out.

By ten o'clock, Leia was lingering outside her bedroom.

"Leia? Why are you standing there?" Queenie noticed her when she came upstairs.

"It's nothing. I thought I've forgotten something, so I'm trying to jog my memory," Leia said, feeling a little nervous when she saw her mother.

She hoped that Abel would not make too much noise.

"What did you forget?" Queenie looked at the closed bedroom door. Seeing Wayne coming out of the door had left an impression on her.

"It's nothing. Why aren't you sleeping yet, Mom?" Leia was afraid that Queenie would open the door. She put her hands on Queenie's shoulder and smiled.

"Your dad isn't back yet, and I can't sleep." Queenie sighed. Jack had been busy with official matters, and he would only return home close to midnight.

"You're not a child anymore, Mom. Don't tell me that you can only fall asleep if Dad is sleeping with you?" Leia took her hand and brought her to the master bedroom. "If you can't sleep, how about we chat for a while?" "Don’t you have something else to do?" Queenie asked as Leia led her to the master bedroom.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1074-It's Either Wayne Dies or She Dies "What else could be more important than spending time with my mother?" Leia smiled innocently.

Queenie felt relieved seeing her daughter like that. Ever since Leia lost her baby, she had been blaming them for not saving her child or her relationship with Brody.

She might still be holding that grudge if not for Brody’s accident.

After the incident, Queenie could sense that Leia was growing apart from her and her husband. She wanted to mend the relationship, but Leia did not give her the chance to do so.

It had been very long since Leia behaved so warmly toward her. Queenie thought that Leia had perhaps forgiven her.

"Good girl. Come sit beside me." Queenie smiled warmly and patted the space next to her.

Leia took off her slippers, reclined on the bed, and hugged Queenie's waist.

She could not help but think of what was going to happen in her bedroom.

Queenie felt Leia's presence beside her. She sighed when she thought of Bianca, who was still missing. "It would be so nice if your sister is still here."

She would want her daughters to be by each of her sides.

A hint of viciousness appeared in Leia's eyes when Bianca was mentioned, though she did not express it in her voice. "Mom, can you tell me a story?" "Story?" Queenie was surprised. "What story?" "You know, the stories you used to tell me when I was younger. I'd like to listen to them again." Leia lifted her head and looked at her innocently. "I was thinking that if I have a child, I'd read her bedtime stories like how you used to."

Queenie smiled gently and patted her head. "You're grown-up now, but you still want to be told bedtime stories. What do you want me to tell?" "Anything is fine, as long as you're the one telling it," Leia said while leaning close to her.

Queenie thought for a while and began to tell her a story.

Her voice was gentle and soft, but Leia was not paying attention. She tried to listen to any noise coming out of her bedroom.

However, the walls were too well-insulated, and she could only hear Queenie's voice. That made her even more worried.

If Abel failed to kill Wayne, Wayne would kill her.

There was no way to explain to Wayne why a man was lying in ambush in her closet, i

Either she or Wayne would die tonight!

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Abel waited quietly in the closet for Wayne to appear.

Suddenly, he heard a slight noise, but it was not the door opening. Abel was sure that it was not Leia or any of her family members.

It meant that the person was Wayne...

Abel clenched the dagger in his hands tightly. The footsteps outside were closer and closer, and a bloodthirsty grin appeared on his face.

At the moment Wayne opened the closet doors, Abel stabbed his body with a dagger. He was very familiar with human anatomy, so he knew where to stab to ensure certain death.

Abel's dagger plunged into Wayne's kidney and twisted.

"Who... are you?" Wayne looked at the dagger in his body in shock. Then, he turned his gaze toward Abel.

"Your killer." Abel did not give him the chance to recover. He pulled out the dagger and wanted to pierce his throat.

Wayne gritted his teeth and dodged the attack.

Blood kept pouring out from the hole in his body. If the wound was elsewhere, he might be able to fight back. However, his organs were injured, so he could only dodge.

Abel's next few attacks missed. "You're not bad, but you still have to die!" "Why... do you want to kill me?" Wayne's strength was rapidly draining away. He stumbled and fell on one knee.

Seeing that Wayne could not fight back, Abel laughed brazenly and pointed his dagger to Wayne's chin. He was quite impressed with Wayne's combat prowess, but he thought that Wayne was stupid to let down his guard because of a woman.

"It's not me. It's your woman." Abel covered his mouth and plunged the dagger into his neck.

The dagger severed Wayne's jugular vein. Blood splattered on Abel's body.

"Heh, what a fool." He took a napkin and wiped his blade clean.

Wayne fell to the floor. His body twitched for a while, and his eyes glazed over.

He was dead.

Seeing that his mission was complete, Abel whistled a happy tune. Indeed, the scent of warm blood from the jugular vein was the sweetest of all. He took the debit card that Leia had prepared for him and jumped from the balcony.

Wayne's blood was still flowing. Soon, it covered the entire floor.

Close to midnight, Leia's phone vibrated. Her heart skipped a beat, and she picked the phone up. It was a message from Hera.

After seeing the codeword, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The codeword meant that Wayne was dead...

Leia could not control the excitement in her heart, though she had to pretend that nothing happened.

Queenie looked at her suspiciously. "Leia?" "I'm feeling a little sleepy, Mom. You should rest too," Leia said with a smile.

Queenie nodded in agreement.

"The bed is already warm, Mom. You don't have to get up. I can go back by myself. Looks like Dad won't be coming home that early tonight, so you don't have to wait for him. Dad will feel sorry for you if you get eyebags." Leia did not know the condition of her bedroom, so she would rather Queenie not go with her.

"Sigh, you're so considerate. Alright then, sleep tight." Queenie lay on her bed.

Leia walked out of the room with a smile. Back at her bedroom, she took a deep breath before opening the door.

The fluorescent lamp was lit. Her heart fluttered when she saw the spreading pool of blood on the floor. The man lying there was Wayne!

He did not move at all. The blood was beginning to coagulate.

Leia took a deep breath and clenched her fists. The man who had tormented her was dead. After this, no one would be able to threaten her. Her life was beautiful again!

She let out a panicked cry. "Ah! Help!"

Then, she slumped on the floor and pretended to faint.

Queenie was startled by her daughter's cry for help. She instantly got out of her bed and ran toward Leia's bedroom. When she saw Leia slumped on the floor, she was scared out of her wits. "What happened, Leia?"

Leia could hear her mother calling her, but she did not open her eyes. It was the best option to pretend to be unconscious.

She could not hide the joy in her eyes, and she did not want other people to see it, so she might as well close them and pretend that she had fainted.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1075-Wayne Was Found Dead In Leia’s Bedroom

Queenie turned around and wanted to get her phone to dial for emergency services when she caught a glimpse of the pool of redness in Leia's room.

"Ahh!" She noticed the man lying in the middle of the pool. It was Wayne Blatt, the wanted criminal!

Queenie's face turned pale, and her heart started to pound faster. She could not catch her breath, and she fell on the floor and passed out.

Leia felt a thud next to her. She opened her eyes slightly and saw Queenie passed out next to her. 'Useless!' She thought.

She continued to lie on the floor. Her surroundings were totally quiet, and her nostrils were filled with the thick stench of blood. The blood belonged to Wayne. She would have gone into the room and felt the blood turn cold with her fingers if not that it would be hard to explain her actions later on.

Leia did not feel very comfortable, but she did not want to get up. Instead, she remained in that position and waited for her father to return.

Meanwhile, Abel evaded all the security cameras, left the Norman residence, and went into Hera's car.

"Ugh, why is there so much blood?" Hera asked. Her stomach began to churn when she smelled blood.

"I slit that man's throat," Abel said. There was still a glint of bloodthirstiness in his eyes.

Hera could not help but shudder when she heard that. 'You slit that guy's throat? How barbaric!' "Are you hurt?" She pretended to be concerned.

"That's not possible," Abel said while taking off his clothes. He had prepared another set of clothes because he knew that the encounter was going to be bloody.

Hera was quite surprised by Abel's ability to kill another person without getting injured.

She knew that Wayne was a special forces soldier who had injured several police officers while escaping.

However, Abel could kill him without getting hurt. As she started the car, she asked, "What are you going to do with those clothes?" "Find somewhere hidden and burn them." Abel was not going to leave any trace of his crime.

"Okay.” Hera knew where such a place was, so she drove there.

The next morning, Luke was woken up by a call from Percy.

"Serious news." "What is it?" Luke was worried that the news might concern Bianca.

Hearing Luke's anxious tone, Percy said, "Don't worry, it's not about your wife. It's Wayne Blatt."

He felt slightly relieved when he heard that it was not about Bianca. "What happened to Wayne?" novelbin

Wayne was being wanted throughout the country. They had suspected that Wayne was related to Bianca's disappearance, but they did not have any evidence.

"Wayne Blatt is dead. His body was found in the Norman residence. When Mr. Norman came home last night, he found his wife and daughter passed out on the floor, so he called the police. The body was found in a horrific state. The police haven't announced anything yet; they don't want to cause a panic," Percy said. He had just received the information too.

"Did Leia kill him?" Luke asked. He knew that Leia had a grudge against Wayne.

"What a creative guess. There's not a hint of blood on Leia's body. The entire bedroom floor is covered with blood, but there were none of her footsteps either. It meant that she wasn't in the room when Wayne died, and she passed out when she saw the body. The police are still investigating the reasons behind the murder, but I think that it's too suspicious," Percy said. He called Luke to tell him his suspicions.

"Indeed, it's suspicious." Luke stood up. "If Wayne is found dead in the

Norman residence and Leia isn't the killer, the killer must be someone else.

Who could they be, and why would they want to kill Wayne?" "I guess that they want to help Leia..." Percy guessed. "From the preliminary autopsy findings, the killer isn't a weak woman like Leia." "Well have to get to the bottom of this," Luke said decisively. He planned to go to the police station later.

"Sure. I knew you'd say that." Percy could guess that Luke would want to investigate the matter, so he had already made arrangements.

After the call, Luke went downstairs. Old Master Crawford and the children were already eating their breakfast at the dining table.

"You're awake." Old Master Crawford nodded at Luke. "Eat your breakfast.

You'll be very busy today." "You already know what happened at the Norman residence?" Luke asked.

"Mm. The police want to withhold the news, but they can't withhold it from me," Old Master Crawford said and took a sip of milk. "I heard about the news earlier. You should go over to the Norman residence and see if they need any help." "Mm." Luke nodded and sat down.

Lanie overheard the conversation and asked curiously, "Daddy, what happened at Grandpa's house?" "It's nothing. You should eat more." Luke placed a bread roll on Lanie's plate.

Lanie did not ask any more questions. He knew that it was a matter among the adults.

After breakfast, Luke sent the children to school, then went to the Norman residence.

Police officers were going in and out of the Norman residence. Jack was sitting on the couch with a solemn expression on his face.

The caretaker came and told him, "Mr. Crawford is here, Sir." "Ask him to come in," Jack lifted his head and said. He knew that Luke would be here. After all, Luke had suspected that Wayne had abducted Bianca.

Now that Wayne was dead, Bianca's abductor was unknown.

Luke came into the house and nodded at Jack. "Dad." "Mm." Luke stood up. The police were almost done with gathering evidence. He brought Luke upstairs and said, "You're quite well-informed." "You can't hide news this big for too long," Luke said. The police said that they withheld the news so that there would not be a panic, but actually, they were doing it to maintain Jack's reputation.

A wanted criminal was found dead in a high-ranking official's house. Before the official investigation results were out, the resulting gossip would be extremely disadvantageous for Jack.

"I know. I'm only hoping that they'll find out something soon." Jack sighed as he looked at the police officers walking to and fro. "The fact that Wayne Blatt is found dead in Leia's room is enough to spawn a thousand rumors."

He brought Luke to Leia's bedroom. The area was still off-limits. Standing beyond the cordon, Luke could see the dried patch of blood on the floor.

All of that blood belonged to Wayne Blatt.

Wayne died because someone slit his throat. When Jack called the police, there was barely any blood left in his body.

The stench of blood was still thick in the air. There were not many signs of battle in the room, but Luke could make several observations.

For example, the blood-stained photo album. Wayne must have toppled it after he was injured.

According to the police markers, the corpse was facing a wall. If Wayne was attacked from behind, blood would have splattered on the wall.

However, there was only one spot of blood on the wall. It must mean that the person who slit his throat must have been standing in front of him, and most of the blood splashed on that person's body.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1076-Xavier Was Found

Jack sighed when he looked at the mess in the room. His eyes were lifeless, as though he had aged ten years overnight.

"Did they bring Wayne's body away?" Luke asked.

"They did," Jack said worriedly. "His jugular vein was completely severed by a sharp blade."

That was the coroner's preliminary finding. When Jack saw Wayne’s body, he could even see the bones inside. It was a gut-wrenching sight.

Luke was not that interested in Wayne's death. He was so concerned because Wayne might have known something about Bianca's disappearance.

Now that Wayne was dead, Luke had no other leads.

His phone started ringing. He went to the balcony before answering it."

What is it?"

The call was from Percy. "I've found the man you want. My men have just tied him up. Where do you want me to deliver him?" "Your house," Luke said. Ever since he found out that Xavier had harassed Bianca the morning she went missing, they had been trying to find the man. Xavier had hidden himself well, and it took them so long to find him.

"I'll go over now." He left the balcony immediately.

Luke went to tell Jack. "You can call me if you need anything, Dad. I have to go now." "Alright then. I won't bother you." Jack waved his hand, indicating understanding.

As far as he knew, Luke was only a businessman, and he would not be of much help in these circumstances. He was afraid that his political enemies would take the opportunity to bring him down and bring trouble to his wife and daughter.

Meanwhile, Percy looked at Xavier, who was bundled up like a burrito. He smiled sinisterly and told the driver, "Back to the mansion." "Yes, Sir," the driver replied and started the car.

Xavier tried to struggle, but his entire body was tied up, and he found it hard to even wiggle his toes.

Sensing movement, Percy turned his head and glanced at him. He did not want to get himself involved, but his subordinates called him to tell him that they found Xavier at a ranch in the outskirts.

Without hesitating, he drove there to capture Xavier himself. As expected, he found Xavier there and tied him up.

Xavier glared at him and did not say anything.

He had been hiding at the ranch for the past few months. The only time he left the place was when he went to warn Bianca.

He did not want to flee abroad. He hid there so that he could dig up some dirt on Luke.

Unfortunately for him, he did not manage to prevent Bianca from being abducted, and his hiding spot was found. Even so, Xavier did not beg for mercy.

The car drove back to Percy's mansion.

After Percy got out of the car, he told his subordinates, "Bring him to the living room. We'll hand him to Luke when he comes." "Yes." Two burly men came over, picked Xavier up, and went to the living room.

Percy sauntered to the wine cellar and selected a few bottles of red wine from his collection. He would be bringing those to Nina's mansion later.

"Sir, Mr. Crawford is here," the butler said as he walked into the cellar.

"That's fast." Percy was still holding onto a bottle of wine, not expecting that Luke would arrive so quickly. He handed another bottle of red wine to the butler, "Open and decant this."

The butler took the bottle and went away.

Percy selected a few more bottles. He would bring them along with him.

Back in the living room, he saw Luke sitting opposite Xavier.

He went over and asked him, "Did you manage to find out anything?"

Luke stared intently at Xavier. He had been sitting there for five minutes, and Xavier did not say a word.

Seeing that no one said anything, Percy shrugged, sat down on the couch, crossed his legs, and stared at Xavier. He might be a captive now, but he was not going to divulge what he knew so easily.

The butler brought the decanter and several glasses to the living room." Your wine, Sir." "Mm." Percy poured two glasses of wine and handed one of them to Luke. He took the other one, leaned back on the couch, and looked at Xavier lazily.

Seeing that the two people were looking at him, Xavier closed his eyes to avert their gazes.

Luke chuckled and took out a stack of documents from his briefcase.

"You brought something? What is it?" Percy picked up the documents curiously and flipped through them. "I didn't expect you to do this. Not bad, Xavier, I can see that you've been a burden to your father."

Xavier opened his eyes. "Just kill me."

It was his misfortune to be captured.

"Look at this." Percy brought the document in front of Xavier and flipped to the first page.

Xavier's eyes widened when he saw the document. "How dare you do this, Luke Crawford!" "Where is Bianca?" Luke crossed his arms in front of him. His tone was low and sinister, like a devil.

Xavier clenched his fists and glared at Luke. "Relinquish those shares."

The document indicated that Luke was one percent away from holding a dominant stake in Tanner Corporation.

The purchases were done in secret. The Tanners were not aware of that.

Percy could not help but chuckle when he saw Xavier’s bloodshot eyes. He thought that Luke would not be able to make Xavier open his mouth so easily.

'How... boring.'

He took a sip of his wine and decided to let Luke do his thing.

"Tanner Corporation will be safe as long as I can find Bianca," Luke said gloomily. In other words, if Xavier did not cooperate with him, he would not hesitate to ruin the business.

Xavier's eyes were blood-red. He knew that Luke had been putting all his time and effort into searching for Bianca, but he did not expect that Luke had been trying to take over his family business at the same time.

He truly regretted offending Luke.

"I don't know where she is," Xavier said hoarsely. If Tanner Corporation fell, his livelihood would be gone.

Luke did not believe it. "You've been hiding in the ranch, and you only appeared on the day that Bianca went missing. Don't try my patience, Xavier Tanner. You might be tough, but the rest of your family isn't as tough as you."

The fear in Xavier's heart grew. He knew that Luke was capable of carrying out his threats.

If Luke did not spare Tanner Corporation, then Tanner Corporation would surely fall!

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1077-Make Me Breakfast Too

Xavier thought that he was quite pathetic.

However, that was all because of Bianca. He looked at the stack of documents in front of him and considered carefully. Finally, he decided to spill the truth. "I only know that someone wanted to harm Bianca that day, but I don't know who the culprit was." "Tell me everything that you know,’ Luke ordered. He had already dispatched his subordinates to the ranch, and he would soon find out if Xavier was lying.

"You can't imagine how powerful that person can be." Xavier glared at Luke with bloodshot eyes. "I've also been trying to search for Bianca ever since that day, but I've never managed to find her. Luke, if I can't find her, you won't be able to find her either."

Xavier was quite confident of his methods, but he had not been able to find anything ever since Bianca was abducted.

Luke narrowed his gaze and looked at Xavier.

Xavier was not afraid. "That's all I know. You must be sending your subordinates to the ranch now, and they will bring you all the information I have. You can continue the investigation if you have the ability."

TH get to the bottom of it, and I'll bring Bianca back. What did you tell her on that morning?" Luke asked.

"I knew that someone was going to harm her, so I went there to warn her. Unfortunately, Bianca is irredeemably silly. She knows that someone wants to harm her, yet she thinks that she can find out who that person is. What do you think happened then? If she could trust in you a little more, all this wouldn't have happened!" Xavier said.

He had been thinking of that ever since he started searching for Bianca.

If Bianca were a little more reliant on Luke, she would not have been abducted.

Luke narrowed his gaze as the anger in his heart grew.

Bianca knew that she was in danger, but she did not inform him. That had caused him much regret.

If he had stayed with her on that day, all of that would not have happened, and Bianca would still be with him.

Percy noticed the change in Luke's expression and said, "What do you want to do with him, Luke?" "Hand him to the police," Luke said.

"Understood." Seeing that Luke had gotten what he wanted from Xavier, Percy got his subordinates to bring Xavier to the police station.

After the bodyguards went away, the living room once again fell into silence.

Luke took his wine glass and downed its contents. novelbin

Percy shook his head. "What a waste of good wine."

Luke ignored his comment. He poured himself another glass and drained it.

Percy snatched the bottle. "Don't waste my fine wine. At least appreciate it a little."

Luke put his glass down and sat there.

"Stop blaming yourself for what happened to Bianca." Knowing what Luke was thinking, Percy put the bottle down and patted Luke's shoulder. "She wanted to thrive without always relying on you. You can't blame anyone if the accident happened."

Bianca came from a different background compared to Luke. It was not surprising that Bianca wanted to be self-reliant too.

Luke crossed his arms in front of him. His expression was gloomy.

Percy knew that there was no point in trying to convince him. Luke would have to walk out of his depression himself.

Half an hour later, Jason came in with a box. He placed the box on the coffee table and said, "Boss, this is what we found on the ranch."

Percy glanced at the documents that filled up half of the box. "That's all from Xavier?" "Yes. Most of it is related to Madam," Jason replied. He did not know which ones were useful, so he brought everything over.

Luke tipped the box over. Percy held his hand and said, "Let me help you." "No need." Luke refused and began to search the contents of the box.

Percy sighed and turned to look at Jason. "What else did you find?" "There were no other findings. Xavier had been focusing on his search for Madam," Jason said politely.

Percy wagged his hand in understanding.

Luke flipped through the documents. Xavier had conducted a thorough background investigation on Bianca and the people who were close to her.

However, the page on Bianca's abduction remained blank.

Disappointedly, Luke put the documents on the table.

Percy could not bear to see his friend like that. He placed the wine bottle on the table, stood up, and said, "Looks like I'll have to waste this bottle of wine on you."

Luke picked up the bottle. Instead of pouring the wine into the glass, he poured it into his mouth.

"Don't give up yet. We're still on the case, and we’ll find Bianca eventually," Percy said as he looked at his dejected friend.

Luke did not reply. He continued to drink the wine.

Percy turned around and said to the butler, "Look after him and make sure he doesn't drink too much. Get someone to drive him home too." "Yes," the butler replied and nodded.

Percy went back to the cellar to pick up the bag of wine bottles. Then, he drove to Nina's house.

Nina happened to wake up late today. She had just changed her clothes and was preparing to make breakfast before going to work.

Now that Bianca was missing, Nina and Sue were taking care of the company on her behalf.

She turned around when she heard the footsteps and was surprised to see Percy.

"Shouldn't you be at work?" "Shouldn't you be at work?" The two people said at the same time.

Nina was surprised again, though she was the first to answer. "I woke up late, and I'll be going to work soon."

Percy nodded and placed the bag on the table.

Nina was speechless when she saw the bottles of fine wine. He used to not share the wine that he brought over, but recently, he had been asking her to drink with him.

She did not have the right to refuse.

"Are you making breakfast?" Percy smelled the aroma from the kitchen while he put the bottles in the cabinet.

"Mm," Nina replied softly. She did not usually make breakfast because she did not want the smell of food to taint the house.

She only treated herself as a temporary lodger in the house.

"What are you making?" After keeping the bottles, Percy went to take a look at the stove. Water was boiling in a pot, and she was holding a basket of eggs.

"Eggs on toast." Nina lowered her head and put two eggs into the pot.

"Make some for me too," Percy said. It was the first time he saw Nina make something in the kitchen.

Nina was a little flustered. She did not prepare enough ingredients, and she planned to bring the rest of the toast to work so that she could eat it for lunch.

"What's wrong?" Percy was unhappy seeing that Nina stood there.

"I... I don't think you'll like it," Nina said.

I'm not picky," Percy replied and took the basket of eggs from her hands.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1078-Percy Was Acting More And More Abnormally

Nina was stunned when she saw that Percy had poured all the eggs into the pot. She stirred it with a ladle, covered the pot, and turned around to prepare the toast.

The toast she prepared previously was only enough for her.

Percy crossed his hands in front of his chest. The sight of her preparing breakfast while wearing an apron brought an unprecedented surge of warmth to his heart.

Nina was preparing the salad and picked up her pace when she noticed his scorching gaze. She asked, "Is there any news on Bea?"

Although she woke up late, she knew that Percy had gotten up and left after answering a call. She heard him mention Bianca and Xavier Tanner.

"No." Percy shook his head, and his gaze shifted to the bowl full of washed cherries.

He stretched out his hand, picked two, and plopped them into his mouth. The cherries were big and sweet. They were delicious.

Nina wanted to say something but hesitated.

When Percy noticed her expression, he raised her eyebrows and asked," What's wrong?" "Those are for Kari and Teri." Nina was a little puzzled as Percy did not usually enter the kitchen nor eat fruits. He was acting a little abnormally.

To be specific, Percy was acting more and more abnormally.

"Jason Doyle's daughters?" Although Percy was indifferent to these kinds of things, he had heard about the twins due to Jason's tormenting ex-wife who had done a lot of absurd things.

"Yeah, Kari and Teri were clamoring for cherries yesterday.’ The water in the pot was boiling. Nina took out two large plates and put them aside. She then picked up the ladle, lifted the lid, and scooped the eggs out.

"Are you still taking care of the kids?" Percy asked.

"Kari and Teri don't have to go to school for these two days, and the babysitter is occupied, so Sue had to bring them to work." Nina was not sure why she was explaining so much to Percy, but she still told him everything.

'Didn’t she say that she isn't a fan of kids? Why is she still helping Sue take care of them, then?' Percy thought to himself.

He asked, "I thought you don't like kids?’

Nina was not sure how to react.

She put the salad aside, chaotically toasted some more bread, and then put them on two separate plates.

Nina knew that Percy had a large appetite, so she deliberately put more slices of toast on his plate before she topped the salad off with her special sauce.

The recipe was shared with her by Anna.

Nina's heart sank when she thought of how Anna was in the hospital waiting for surgery. Anna had decided to undergo a liver transplant, but there was no suitable donor for her. Nina's were not a match,

so the only option was to wait for Sean to get out of prison before they could proceed with the transplant. 1

Sean had about half a year left to serve in prison, but after considering Anna's condition, the court reduced his sentence. Sean would be released in half a month.

When that time came, she was not sure whether she would be happy or sorrowful.

The breakfast prepared by Nina wafted with a tempting aroma that excited Percy. As he stared at the plates of breakfast on the kitchen island, all he could think of was when he could eat.

Nina took out a tray and wanted to put the plates on the tray before serving them.

Percy stepped forward and said, ‘Til do it.’

He picked up the two plates with both hands. Nina was worried that they were too hot to hold. She held the tray and suggested. "Let's place them here?" "No worries.” Percy walked out holding the plates without a bother in the world.

Nina placed the tray back, picked up some utensils, and headed out.

Percy was already sitting at the dining table. There were two steaming plates of eggs on toast on the table. There were blooming lilies in the vase on the table. The fragrance of the flowers and the aroma of the food stimulated her senses.

Nina sat on the chair and handed him a set of utensils.

Percy took it and ate the toast.

Listening to the clinking noise of the utensils colliding with the plate, Nina was not sure how to feel. 'Is there something wrong with me? Why does this make me feel wonderful?*

The other side.

The Island of Despair was tranquil. Bianca was lying on the bed, the silence making her feel extra lonely.

She glanced at the wall, and there were already many markings on it.

Every day, she would make a mark on the wall. Fearing that she would lose herself if she stayed here for too long, she started keeping a record of the days.

Everything was the same in the past few days. Her training was getting more intense while she was becoming more and more proficient.

Oddly enough, Abel had not made an appearance in the past few days.

Bianca rolled over and glanced at the clock. It was four o'clock in the morning, and she was having insomnia.

"Miss, are you awake?" Eler's voice came from behind her.

Bianca closed her eyes, not wanting to let Eler know that she was awake.

In the past month, she had never gotten a good night's sleep. Bianca would sleep for two or three hours at most before waking up from her dreams of Luke and the kids.

Bianca did not tell anyone about her pain and suffering. She knew that if she told someone about it, Shanks would find a way to help her.

However, she did not need help.

Bianca missed Luke and her kids, but she could not get out of her current situation, so she could only depend on her dreams to alleviate her lovesickness.

Although most of her dreams brought her pain, she was willing to endure it as those dreams helped her remember what Luke looked like.

Eler did not hear a reply from Bianca and thought that maybe she was overthinking. She then smiled and closed her eyes.

The next day.

Bianca and Eler went to the training ground together.

They then discovered that the trainer for the day was not a mercenary hired by Abel but Shanks.

"Mr. Shanks?" There was a hint of surprise in Eler's voice.

Shanks nodded and remained expressionless. Bianca glanced at Eler and thought that the blush on her cheeks was a little too obvious.

"Today, you’ll be attending my medical class." The tone of his voice was as cold as his expression.

Eler happily clasped her hands together and glanced at the instruments around them. These were commonly seen instruments in Shanks' laboratory. She did not see Amur so she asked, "Mr. Shanks, where's my brother?" "He’s in another training program," Shanks replied.

"Oh, okay. Mr. Shanks, we're ready." Eler's blue eyes were shining as she looked at him admiringly.

Bianca understood what this look meant. She shook her head and looked down at the instruments in front of her.

'We’re doing a medical class today?’

She did not know that Abel had prepared such a course for her. 'Is he not afraid that I'll learn how to poison him after this?'

Bianca was deep in her thoughts when she heard Shanks say, "Today, I'll teach you the basics of medicine. You're not allowed to use any leftover materials. I'll be checking everything after class."

Bianca snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the materials in front of her.

She was not familiar with any of them. Shanks glanced at her, picked up the materials, and started teaching, 1

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1079- Luke Does Not Seem To Miss You That Much

Bianca listened carefully to his every word, unwilling to miss out on anything.

She had a basic understanding of the drugs in front of her after Shanks' explanation. She was a little disappointed to find out that these drugs would not cause much harm to the human body.

After Shanks went through the basics, he went on to teach them how to operate the instruments without checking whether the two of them could keep up with his pace.

Bianca was introduced to these instruments when she was in school.

Compared to Eler, she was much more proficient. After Shanks assigned them a task, she mixed the materials and completed the purification process not long after.

Shanks sniffed her end product and said as he nodded in satisfaction, "Not too bad. You’re done for the day."

Bianca raised her eyebrows. Since she arrived on the Island of Despair, today was the first time she knew she could get out of class early.

However, she was happy to leave. She took off her gloves, turned around, and walked out.

"Miss..." Eler held the test tube and looked like she was about to burst into tears. She looked at Shanks imploringly. She was fine serving others, but this was torture for her!

Shanks said with a cold expression, "You can only leave when you're done." "Mr. Shanks, this is too difficult for me..." Eler felt helpless. She did not get to go to school much back when she was in the village. Her family was not well-to-do, so she had given up the opportunity to go to school to her younger siblings. This was her first time being exposed to instruments like these.

Shanks did not react to her pleas and continued staring at her coldly.

Eler sighed and had no choice but to continue with the task at hand. Her mind was all over the place and she almost knocked over the lamp.

Bianca walked out of the room and looked at the bright corridor. The incandescent lights were constantly shining, reminding her of daylight.

She laughed mockingly. 'No matter how bright the lights are, I’m still underground where there’s no such thing as day and night. When the lights are off, the only thing left is endless darkness.'

When she saw Abel approaching, Bianca's body stiffened and she subconsciously wanted to turn around.

"Stop." Abel smiled wickedly the moment he saw her. He sped up his pace and stopped in front of her.

Bianca kept quiet and stared at the evil man.

Abel lifted her chin and asked, "Why are you so free?" "Shanks allowed me to leave early," Bianca said.

Abel was in charge of planning her schedule, so he had a grasp of the classes she took every day.

He increased the strength of his grip. He squeezed her face and asked, "Do you miss Luke?"

Bianca froze. The emotions in her eyes betrayed her.

"You miss him a lot, don't you?" Abel grinned, let go of her, and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He looked down at her and said, "Luke doesn't seem to miss you all that much, though." "What do you mean?" Bianca asked warily. ‘Luke doesn't miss me? Did he go to see Luke? Does he know that I'm trapped here?’

Seeing the looming hopefulness in her eyes, Abel wanted nothing more but to shatter it.

"I heard that Luke has been intimate with a woman recently. If it's not because he's still legally married to you, they'd already be walking down the aisle," Abel said. Maxine had not taken action, so he had no photographic evidence yet.

However, he did not need photos to start a rumor. All he wanted was to trigger Bianca.

"That's ridiculous." Bianca lowered her gaze and did not react to what he said. That was because she knew Luke was not that kind of person.

Although a few months had passed, she was certain that he was still looking for her, so Abel's words held no credibility.

"You don’t believe me?" Abel raised his eyebrows. He did not expect that his words could affect their relationship in the first place.

"If there's nothing else you want to talk about, I’ll go back to my room first." Bianca turned around and walked to her room.

Abel looked at her as she walked away. She was like a noble swan, unaffected by his words.

He pursed his lips. His eyes were like poisonous snakes, evil and scheming. He was interested to see how long Bianca could keep up her proud and confident appearance.

The moment Bianca walked into her room, she fell limply on her bed as though all her strength had been sucked dry.

"Luke...”

She had gotten a scare when Abel mentioned Luke's name.

Luke was still not aware of his true identity. If Abel approached him, she was afraid that Luke would suffer...

Bianca picked up the small stone on the side and carved a line on the wall. Another day had passed in this hell hole...

She touched her bulging belly. Although she was imprisoned, her physical condition was decent and their child was slowly growing up in her belly day by day.

Bianca put the stone aside and whispered, "Baby, if something happens in the future, don’t blame me for the choices I have to make."

Eler was finally done with the experiment and returned to the room. She saw Bianca spacing off, so she stepped forward and asked, "Miss, are you okay?"

I’m okay." Bianca was deep in her thoughts thinking of Luke and came back to her senses.

She had been thinking about everything and anything, including the identity Abel would use to approach Luke to retaliate against him.

She was in despair knowing that no matter what Abel did, she would still be imprisoned, unable to help Luke.

"You don't look so good. If you're feeling uncomfortable, don’t force yourself," Eler said with care.

"Mm." Bianca nodded and replied, "I’m a little tired, I want to lie down for a while." "Okay, take some rest, there's still some time before the next meal." Eler glanced at the clock on the wall. The Island of Despair followed a militarized schedule, so everything was in accordance with the rules and regulations.

Even a pregnant woman like Bianca was not exempted from the schedule.

Eler tucked her in and said, "Miss, Mr. Shanks just said that because your belly is getting bigger and bigger, it'll be inconvenient for you to continue on with the training. Until you give birth, we'll only be going to medical classes." "That's great," Bianca said with her eyes closed.

She liked medical classes not because they were easy but because poison was the only method that did not leave a trace of blood when killing.

"I think it’s so difficult." Eler considered Bianca a friend and would sometimes rant to her. "I don’t understand those instruments. The lamp almost exploded just now..."

Bianca kept quiet.

Shanks' class was not the same as those that ordinary medical students attended. He was efficient in his teaching, quickly allowing her to learn what she wanted to learn.

Based on the current progress, she should be able to gain a lot of medical knowledge before giving birth.

Eler looked at her and said with envy, "Miss, I'm envious of you. It’s both our first time learning about this but you managed to finish Mr. Shanks' assignment so quickly. Unlike me, I feel stupid and ashamed." "Practice makes perfect." Bianca comforted her and made a mental note. Eler did not realize that whenever she mentioned Shanks, her tone conveyed a sense of admiration.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 1080-Teenage Crush

Eler nodded and said shyly, "It was so scary just now. Fortunately, Mr.

Shanks was there to help..."

Bianca's expression was calm when Eler mentioned Shanks again.

She noticed how shy Eler would get whenever she mentioned Shanks. It was exactly how a 19-year- old girl would act when she had a crush on someone.

Eler noticed that Bianca was silent. The thoughts in her mind were overwhelming her, so she blushed and asked, "Miss, you're more knowledgeable than me. What kind of girls do you think Mr. Shanks likes?"

Bianca shook her head to indicate that she had no clue.

Abel had once mentioned that the reason why Shanks was helping him retaliate against Luke was that the love of his life died from the bombing of the Russian army.

From that, she could determine that Shanks was a loyal and affectionate man. No other woman could hope to have a happy ending falling in love with him.

"Sister!" Amur walked in, his expression instantly changing when he heard what Eler said.

Eler was taken aback as she did not expect that her secret would be overheard by someone else.

"Amur..." She was a little upset that Amur had heard it.

Their village was destroyed and their parents were killed. Amur hated everyone on the Island of Despair, including Shanks.

Amur's expression was sour, but he did not want to comment in front of Bianca. Hence, he said, "Sister, can I talk to you outside?"

Eler pursed her lips and looked reluctant.

She also hated the people from the Island of Despair, but Shanks was excluded. She fell for him because she believed that Shanks was a good person.

Bianca felt the tension and persuaded Eler. "Go. It's best that both of you clear things up."

Eler reluctantly walked out to avoid disturbing Bianca. Amur closed the door.

Seeing that her involvement was no longer required, Bianca lay on the bed and closed her eyes.

"You like Shanks?!" Amur's eyes were red as molten anger rolled through him. He asked directly without thinking whether it would hurt Eler’s feelings.

"Mr. Shanks is very nice." Eler retorted with a blushed face, her lips trembling slightly. She did not understand why he was so disgusted.

Shanks was different from the others on the Island of Despair.

"Sister, you can't fall for the men here. They're horrible people." Amur was overwhelmed by emotions and grabbed her shoulders.

Although he was thin and weak, he was still taller than her.

Eler looked up at her brother and said, "Amur, he’s different from others. Others hurt us, but Mr. Shanks would never. He treated you before... How can you forget the kindness he has shown you?" "Forget? Sister, you're the one who has forgotten!" Amur was irritable seeing that he could not persuade her to

change her mind. He turned around and kicked the wall a few times. Months of training had made Amur stronger. He could see cracks in the bricks.

"Amur, what are you doing?!" Eler immediately grabbed his arm. If Abel saw Amur acting like this, he would be locked up.

Amur's face was contorted with rage. He turned to look at Eler and said," Have you forgotten that our parents died because of the poisonous gas? Aside from Mr. Shanks, who else do you think has the capability to create that poisonous gas?"

When Abel led the mobsters to attack the village, he took away all the young laborers. Hethen ordered for the remaining middle-aged and elderly laborers to be locked in a house where poisonous gas was released.

Their parents were also inside that house...

Eler was taken back. She said, "Mr. Shanks' drugs are used to save people.

The poisonous gas may have been created by others..."

Amur was disappointed that Eler was obsessively siding with Shanks. "On the entire island, he is the only one with that ability." 'Others? Does she think that the blockheaded mercenaries have the ability to create poisonous gas?’ "That’s impossible..." Eler still refused to believe him.

"I created it." Out of the blue, Shanks' voice sounded.

Eler and Amur turned to look at him. Eler’s face was pale. She could not believe what she just heard. "Mr. Shanks, how could you?" "The poison gas you're talking about is indeed my creation. I prefer to study drugs that can kill compared to those that can save lives." Shanks' blue pupils were motionless and reminded Eler of a bottomless abyss. She was unsure whether what he said was the truth.

Eler took two steps back, her eyes filled with despair. She could not believe that she had fallen for a murderer.

Amur was shaking uncontrollably. His hands curled into fists, and he wanted to kill Shanks.

Bianca opened the door of the room and looked at Eler and Amur with a cold expression. When Amur was about to lose control, she said slowly," Eler, Amur, come in."

Amur was stunned. His mind was filled with thoughts of revenge, but Bianca’s words snapped him out of it.

Eler turned around, held Amur's hand, and rushed into the room.

After they walked in, Bianca nodded slightly and shut the door without bothering about Shanks.

Shanks looked at the brown iron door, then turned and walked toward the research lab.

In the room, Eler broke down. She squatted in a corner and silently cried while covering her face.

Bianca ignored her. Her gaze fell on Amur, who was still clenching his fists. She said, "Do you think you can beat Shanks up just after a few months of training?"

Amur's body shook, and he stood up straight in an instant. His clenched fists loosened and tightened again and again.

Bianca shook her head. Amur was blinded by hatred and could only think about the poisonous gas that killed his parents. He failed to see the bigger picture.

She said, "Amur, even without Shanks, your parents would've still died.

When Abel attacked your village, he had already planned to deal with those who stood in his way. Shanks is not the only one you should blame." As an outsider, she was well aware of Abel's wickedness. If Abel wanted to kill someone, he would do it no matter the cost-even if it meant risking his life.

Amur loosened his fists and stood there weakly. His head drooped, and he felt like a desperate loser.

He was burning with rage earlier and eager to avenge his parents, so he chose Shanks as his primary target.

One of the reasons was because Shanks was the creator of the poisonous gas. The other reason was that Shanks looked gentle and weak, so he thought that Shanks would not be able to fend for himself.

However, Bianca knew that one should never judge a book by its cover. Shanks may appear gentle, but if Bianca had not appeared just now, Amur might have already landed a punch and things would have taken a turn for the worse.

Maybe Shanks would have killed him, which would then drag Bianca and Eler down with him.

"Miss, I'm sorry." Amur apologized. Bianca's words made him realize that his enemy was Abel, while Shanks and the others were just his tools.

Even if the tools were dealt with, he may not be able to get the pleasure of revenge.

Bianca said, "I’m glad you’re seeing things clearly now. The training that you’re receiving during this period is not for you to exact your revenge now. You're not strong enough, and people who are not strong enough should not be thinking about revenge. It'll only lead to meaningless sacrifices.

Take a breather and think about you and Eler. Amur, you have a long way to go. You need to get stronger."
