Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 351-Paying Special Attention to Bianca
Louis wanted to cry. He seemed to have dug a hole for himself.
He thought that his future sister-in-law was a docile sheep, but she was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing.
"I thought I knew you well, Sis. How can you be like that?" Louis said resentfully.
"It seems like you don't have enough to do here,” Luke said coldly as he walked toward the CEO's office. "If there's nothing else for you to do here, you can head over to South Africa now. I'll get Mr. Doyle to buy the fastest ticket there!" "Ah, Brother, must you drive me away so mercilessly? There aren't that many kind and honest younger brothers in the world like me! I admire you, Brother…"
Bianca was speechless.
It was the first time that she had seen a childish exchange between the two men.
Louis shot a resentful glance at Louis, then returned to his office. 2
He had to continue his boring work so that his elder brother would not transfer him to South Africa.
Bianca returned to the design department.
Some colleagues glanced at her as soon as she appeared in the office.
Some nosy ones started whispering to each other while staring at her. They did not do so loudly in case she overheard what they said.
The boss might not have married her yet, but her status was plain for all to see.
Her colleagues might not be happy about Bianca, but being experienced wage-earners, they knew better than to say anything in front of her.
Bella, the department lead, was the most aggrieved. 1
During the designers' meeting, Bianca's stellar performance was a stark contrast to her embarrassing reply. She nearly became the subject of ridicule in the department.
She could not bear to see a new employee be better than her.
She knew that Bianca was the boss's woman, but she wanted to get back at her somehow.
To Bella, only the beautiful, talented, and diligent Mavis could be a match for the boss. 1
Moreover, Mavis had worked for the boss for so many years. Their solid relationship could not have been broken by the unremarkable Bianca.
Bella felt that Luke's love for Bianca was temporary. After Luke got bored of her, he would be able to choose wisely between Bianca and Mavis.
Bella thought that Luke could be rational and intelligent when it came to love, unlike other men who thought with the organ between their legs.
There was nothing remarkable about Bianca other than her beautiful face.
Women like her were a dime a dozen. How could she compare to the smart and inventive Mavis?
Bella was Mavis's minion. If Mavis became Mrs. Crawford, then her future career would be smooth sailing.
Right after Bianca sat at her desk, Bella came over to her and criticized loudly, "Do you think that T Corporation is your home, Bianca? I've warned you not to take any more days off, but you've ignored
my warning! Look at your attendance records this month. You've been absent for half of the days. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because the boss is your boyfriend!"
The other colleagues could be heard gasping.
They did not know whether Bella was brave or stupid.
Bianca was the boss's woman, and Bella had openly criticized her. Was Bella not afraid that Bianca would tattle on her and get herself fired?
Bianca was not bothered by Bella's criticism and her colleague's gossip. She did what she felt was right.
She looked straight into Bella's eyes and said calmly, "Ms. Sloan, there is no rule in T Corporation that states that employees cannot take days off, nor is there a rule restricting the length of each leave. Even when I'm on leave, I fulfill all my tasks. I've completed all the work you sent to me through my mailbox, and I've sent it back to your mailbox."
Now that she had decided to be together with Luke, she knew that rumors about her would spread in the company. How was she going to stand next to him if she was not strong enough to endure that pressure?
Bella was at a loss for words against Bianca's retort.
Bianca turned on her computer and started working. Bella's face was ashen; her anger did not achieve its intended effect.
Sue covered her mouth and giggled when she saw that.
Bella grunted coldly, shot a glare at Sue, then walked back to her desk on her high heels.
She quickly sent a message to Mavis, who was still in Western Europe. If Mavis did not come back soon, Bianca would replace her position as Luke's sweetheart.
If she lost her support in the company, she was afraid that Bianca might take revenge on her!
Meanwhile, Bianca, Sue, and Tom were seated together, discussing the collaboration project with Vivi Group.
Bianca was perusing the information in her hands.
She knew that many colleagues in the design department would not be happy when Luke tasked her, a new employee, to lead such a major project. Some of the veteran employees did not even get the chance.
She had only joined the company for a few months, and she had not done anything remarkable yet. Anyone would be jealous of her luck.
No one could object to Luke's decisions, and Bianca did not want to decline the offer. Perhaps it was a good thing to be put under pressure; the results might not be as bad as she expected!
Bianca understood that very well. She wanted to work extra hard so that she could change other people's opinions of her.
The collaboration project with Vivi Group was a major one. Bianca believed that it would greatly affect her future career.
She knew the magnitude of the project from the information in the documents and her discussions with Sue and Tom.
T Corporation and Vivi Group had bought a piece of prime land in downtown A City. The two companies wanted to develop the plot with the fastest speed, building commercial stores, hotels, a
shopping mall, luxury serviced apartments, and even a high-class gated community.
Bianca was shocked.
Only Luke would have the financial resources to buy such an expensive piece of land in the big city and revamp it!
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 352-Nice to Meet You, My Name Is Bianca
When Bianca was reading the documents, the department lead brought several people into the office.
"Let me introduce everyone. This is the design manager from Vivi Group and the core design team."
Bianca observed them carefully.
The female design manager was in her late thirties, while the others were a lot younger.
"Nice to meet you. I am Sue Carter, the design team lead from T Corporation. It’s a pleasure to be working with you," Sue said with a smile as she stretched out her right hand.
"Yanis Fuller," The female design manager said briskly and lightly shook Sue's hand.
Tom also shook hands with Yanis and introduced himself.
When it was Bianca's turn, she stretched out her right hand and said, "I am Bianca Rayne. Nice to meet you."
Unexpectedly, Yanis glanced at Bianca coldly and did not shake her hand.
Bella was feeling rather smug about it.
Earlier, when she had the opportunity, she had slandered Bianca in front of Yanis. She said that Bianca had gotten into the design department because of her relationship with Luke, the CEO, and that she was a talentless bimbo.
Bella knew that Yanis was an honest woman who hated useless people who got to where they were because of their relations.
After her slander, Ms. Fuller would not treat Bianca kindly, and Bianca would be the subject of ridicule.
Bianca did not know that her department lead had been talking behind her back. She felt a little dejected by Yanis's treatment, and the smile on her face stiffened.
She looked at Sue helplessly.
Sue looked at Bianca encouragingly and helped her alleviate the situation." Ms. Fuller, Bianca might be new to the design department, but she's very talented. Earlier, we had a difficult client who rejected all the designs from the other designers, but he accepted Bianca's design and praised it endlessly. I believe that she will be a great addition to the team."
Yanis did not say anything. She shot a glance at Bianca and said, "Let's go into the conference room for a meeting."
The designers from T Corporation and Vivi Group went into the conference room on a higher floor.
On the way, Yanis did not say a word to Bianca.
Even the other designers from Vivi Group were being distant to her. Bianca was helpless; all she could do was to play along.
She felt uneasy as the people from Vivi Group judged her silently.
The assistant design manager from Vivi Group was a man named Gerald Murphy. He seemed to be about thirty years old. He looked quite stylish, and he smiled like a gentleman.
One of the designers was a beautiful lady named Michelle Boyd.
Michelle had an attractive face and a curvaceous figure. She was young and charming.
There was another young man named Macauley Jones. He was the leader of Design Team Two.
He looked quite handsome but shy, and he did not look like a man of many words. He gave people the impression of a refined gentleman.
Bianca remembered their names well. After all, she had to work with them.
Of course, while Bianca observed the people from Vivi Group, they were observing her as well.
The designers from Vivi Group had met Sue and Tom before and have collaborated more than once. They did not have any doubts about Sue's capabilities, but they were surprised that T Corporation included a new employee in their team.
The woman named Bianca Rayne seemed very young, as though she had just graduated from college. Would she be able to handle such a major project?
They also heard that Bianca was employed because of her relations, and that had made them treat her with disdain.
The meeting lasted for more than an hour.
After that, Yanis handed a thick stack of documents to Bianca. "These are all the relevant documents for this project. I hope that you can memorize everything in the next few days, and well officially go into the details of the project the day after tomorrow. Do you have any more questions?" "No.’ Bianca frowned when she took the two-pound stack of documents.
She knew that Ms. Fuller was being deliberately harsh on her.
Of course, as a new employee, she was not in the position to talk back.
In the CEO's office.
Luke lifted his head from two laptop screens. The past quarter profits of T Corporation had increased by several times.
His seductive lips curled up into a satisfied smile when he saw Bianca's new designs.
Jason was slightly worried when he saw Luke's smile. "Mr. Crawford, you've made Bianca a public target by tasking her with such an important project. Moreover, Ms. Fuller from Vivi Group is known to be a perfectionist when it comes to designs. Would Ms. Rayne be able to handle the pressure?’
Everyone knew that Yanis Fuller from Vivi Group was an outstanding designer. She was even better than Mavis Laviere of T Corporation.
However, her desire for perfection had made her overly critical and gave her a bad temper. She was an intimidating workaholic.
It was said that she often scolded her designers harshly.
Normal people would not be able to handle her bad temper, not to mention the sensitive Ms. Rayne.
Luke glanced at his wristwatch and saw that it was time to go off work.
He smiled at Jason profoundly. "Bianca is a talented designer, but she is too sensitive and diffident. I believe that she will learn a lot under Ms. Fuller's guidance."
When the meeting was dismissed, Bianca took the documents and prepared to bring them home.
She received a call from Luke. "After you pack up, well go to Blue Honors for dinner." "Let's bring Lanie and Rainie along. It's been a while since we've had dinner with the children." Bianca thought that a family should eat together.
Luke did not want the two children to disturb his time with Bianca. They would get in his way.
However, he imagined her hopeful gaze and compromised. "Alright. We'll pick them up after work, then well go to Blue Honors."
After hanging up, Bianca saw that it was almost six o'clock and quickly gave the two children a call.
"Hello, Mommy…" Rainie was the one who answered the call.
"Baby, have you and Big Bro had dinner?" "Not yet. Aunt Jemma is making dinner. Big Bro and I will eat together with Great-Grandpa and Grandma…" "Don't eat dinner at home. Daddy and Mommy will come later to pick up the two of you, and we'll eat out." "Yay! Big Bro, Mommy says that she'll be picking us up for dinner. Come back soon, Mommy!" Rainie said sweetly.
Bianca ended the call, though a blissful smile lingered on her face.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 353-The Man She Loves IsOutstanding!
When Bianca was imagining her children's smiling faces, Sue abruptly patted her shoulder.
"Hey, look at the silly grin on your face. Were you talking to the boss earlier? You should've seen how gentle your smile was. I'm so jealous!"
Bianca knew that Sue was almost thirty years old but remained single. She guessed that Sue must have experienced some trauma in her previous relationship.
Many men tried to court her, but she rejected all their advances.
Sue was an intelligent and capable individual. Bianca did not know that
Sue had an ulterior motive when she tried to be friends with her.
However, when Sue got to know more about Bianca, she found out that Bianca was full of personal charm and design talent. Eventually, they became true friends.
"It's not him. I was on the phone with Lanie and Rainie earlier."
Bianca had always had a good impression of the carefree Sue. Not only Sue had a good personality, but she had also helped Bianca when she was in a pinch. Bianca was grateful to Sue for that. novelbin
She remembered that she had been marginalized when she first entered the company, and she had no friends other than Nina. Sue was the one who had made friends with her, and that had made her life in the office more tolerable.
Sue and Bianca chatted happily as they walked outward.
When they turned a corner, they bumped into Gerard Murphy and Michelle Boyd.
Gerard was dressed impeccably as usual, like a gentleman.
Michelle, on the other hand, had messy hair. Her cheeks were blushing red, and her lips were slightly swollen.
Michelle was shocked when she saw Bianca and Sue appear in front of her.
Sue flashed a superficial smile, greeted the two, and pulled Bianca away.
She thought that it was best to keep her mouth shut.
Bianca did not know what was going on. She was pulled by Sue toward the elevator.
After the other two people disappeared from view, Bianca could not help but ask, "I didn't greet them, Sue. I wonder if they would think that I'm rude."
Sue rolled her eyes and whispered into Bianca's ear. "Don't be bothered about them. Something is going on between Gerard and Michelle. When I was in the washroom, I happened to see Gerard pinning Michelle on the washstand. Tsk tsk, Michelle's underwear was already on her knees. You should know that Gerard is a married man with children…" "Huh? He's having an extramarital affair? What a scumbag." Bianca's eyes opened wide with shock.
Sue nodded. "You're still too naive. We're in a big company, so naturally, there will be a lot of scandals. It's not something that you or I can manage. Why else would you think that Michelle can become a department lead when she's so young? She’s an ambitious woman, and she is willing to pawn herself to her superior so that she could climb higher in her career. You shouldn't be too close to Michelle. Don't get yourself involved." "Mm, I know. Thank you for your reminder, Sue." Bianca nodded.
With her busy schedule, she never had the time to care about gossip.
Moreover, she had always kept to herself. All she wanted was to do her job the best she could. Other people's personal lives were none of her business.
After picking up the two children, Luke drove the family of four to Blue Honors.
Blue Honors was one of Mallory Corporation's properties and a famous landmark in A City. It was a place for relaxation, entertainment, and fine dining.
It had a uniquely exquisite exterior and interior. Luke had a hand in the design of the building.
Blue Honors was in the prime commercial area of the city. Three of its four sides faced a lake, and the walls were made of bluestone and adorned with glass. One could see the beautiful lake scenery from almost any window.
It was cold outside, but the plants thrived in Blue Honors.
All the furnishings in the private rooms were hand-carved from native hardwood, blending modernity and antiquity. That had given Blue Honors an exquisite artistic touch.
Bianca, while holding the children's hands, said to Luke, "I've heard that Blue Honors is a famous landmark in A City, and that you're part of the design team. This place is amazing, and you're outstanding."
Bianca, as a student of architectural design, had heard of Blue Honors before, but she had only been able to regard it from afar.
Not only were the prices in Blue Honors very expensive, but only people with certain social status could enter. A poor peasant like her had no chance of stepping inside.
The intricate exterior had already impressed Bianca, not to mention the interior design!
She was proud that the designer had become her significant other. That way, she could share his glory.
"Mommy, Daddy has always been amazing! It's just that he's always too busy to have dinner with us or keep us company," Lanie mumbled as he held onto Bianca's hand.
"Sometimes, Big Bro and I want to have dinner with Daddy, but he would always say impatiently that we're not little kids anymore, and we have to learn to eat on our own. Hmph… it's only after Mommy is here that Daddy would spend more time with us…" Rainie pouted unhappily.
Bianca crouched and hugged them. Her gaze was on the same level as the children's, and her voice was gentle. "Daddy is at fault for neglecting the two of you, but it's also tough for him to support the family. He's working hard every day so that the two of you can live comfortably. You should empathize with your Daddy, alright?" "Mm, we understand." The two children nodded their heads.
Luke's gaze became gentle when he saw how Bianca explained to the children.
The sight of Bianca comforted him more than the sight of any other woman. Her sweet smile, gentle demeanor, and pure bearing made her look like a delicately carved jade sculpture.
That was why Bianca had been in his heart after so many years.
Meanwhile, Melissa walked toward them while holding Xavier's arm.
Behind them was a group of young men and women.
Xavier was shocked when he saw Bianca. Instinctively, he wanted to push Melissa away…
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 354-Where Did Lanie Learn That?
Melissa instantly noticed Bianca.
She held onto Xavier's arm tightly and grunted audibly. "Why do I see that woman everywhere? How unlucky!"
Not only had she failed to frame Bianca in the luxury fashion store, but she had also lost a diamond necklace worth almost a million dollars. She was scolded when she got home, and her elder brother had docked her allowance.
Melissa had been troubled by that incident.
Of course, Bianca was not too happy when she saw the capricious and unreasonable Melissa.
She was about to hold the children's hands and turn in the other direction when Lanie suddenly looked at the woman and blinked. There was a mischievous glimmer in his eyes.
He tugged the hem of Bianca's shirt and said childishly, "Mommy, I've seen that woman before…"
Bianca looked at Lanie curiously. She did not understand how the little boy would recognize Melissa.
"Where have you seen her, Lanie?" Bianca asked.
Melissa was also surprised.
She looked at Lanie and racked her brain, but she could not remember where she had seen the cute little boy.
"Mommy, do you remember the picture book that Daddy got for me for my birthday? She's the ugly witch in the fairy tale!"
Lanie then turned to look at Melissa. "You look like the ugly witch in my picture book. I would've asked for your autograph, but I don't like that character at all!"
The people around him burst into laughter.
The little boy was so cute and adorable, but why were his words so relentless?
Bianca realized that Lanie was only making fun of Melissa.
Melissa was not very beautiful, but she was not ugly either. It was very different from the witch in Lanie's picture book.
'Did Lanie get his sharp tongue from Luke?*
Bianca shot a glance at Luke. At the same time, Luke looked at her and shrugged as though saying that he had nothing to do with it.
Luke knew that he did not have a great personality, but even he did not speak so harshly. Perhaps Lanie's genes had mutated on his own.
Melissa might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but she also realized that Lanie was insulting her. Her face turned red with anger, and she pointed at Lanie and yelled, "Who taught you to speak like that, you unmannered brat? You need to be spanked!"
In her anger, Melissa seemed to have forgotten who Luke was. She wanted to step forward and teach Lanie a lesson, but Xavier held her back tightly!
The young woman was too capricious. She did not understand how terrifying Luke could be.
If she laid a finger on Luke's son, he was sure that the news of Melissa's family's bankruptcy would appear on the papers tomorrow. Even his family might be affected.
Luke glared at Melissa. There was a hint of killing intent in his cold gaze!
The host of the clubhouse had just arrived. Before he could speak a word to Mr. Crawford, he had witnessed that comedic scene.
'That woman has a death wish!
'How dare she insult Mr. Crawford's son in public, like a mad dog?' "Don't hold me back, Xavier. That woman stole my diamond necklace. Give it back to me!" Melissa ignored the tense atmosphere and yelled at Bianca with a vicious expression on her face.
"Excuse me, Miss, I would advise you to leave if you are not feeling well.
Not only have you insulted my guests, but you are accusing my guest of stealing your diamond necklace. Do you have any evidence of that?" The host said sternly with his eyes narrowed dangerously.
"Who do you think you are? Stay out of this! It's none of your business!" Melissa was intimidated by the host's dangerous aura, but her anger had overridden her reason.
Her elder brother and Xavier had warned her not to cross Luke, but she had been spoiled since she was young and did not respect anyone.
She was used to getting whatever she wanted when she was overseas. Of course, she would have already forgotten their warnings.
Xavier dragged Melissa's collar and warned her sternly once more. "Stop embarrassing me, Melissa! Do you have a death wish?"
Melissa thought that Xavier was holding her back because he still loved Bianca.
In Xavier's vice-like grip, she could not move a muscle.
Her gaze met with Bianca's eyes. When she saw that the woman was looking at her contemptuously and that her cousin seemed to be looking at Bianca with pity, her anger rose to new heights!
No wonder her cousin Xavier treated her so mercilessly. It was because of that woman.
That realization was like a sharp sword that had pierced Marie's heart. 4
Her chest heaved as she gasped for air, then she growled at Xavier. "Aren't we family, Xavier? Why aren't you on my side? Bianca is the one who stole my diamond necklace, and that guy is an accomplice. And that brat too, they're all bad people…"
Luke's brows were furrowed tightly. The killing intent in his eyes intensified.
He looked at Melissa as though she was already a dead person!
"Get lost! You don't know anything at all!" Xavier shoved Melissa away and roared at her.
His tantrum caught the attention of everyone at the venue.
Melissa’s face turned pale.
It was her birthday today. She managed to convince her cousin to celebrate her birthday with her, but he had humiliated her in front of all the guests and friends.
Even Melissa's friends behind her were whispering with each other…
"It's my birthday today, Xavier. How can you treat me like that? Bianca is a shameless thief! That necklace cost 900,000 dollars. You saw the receipt. It's not a small sum… That day, that woman stole
my necklace while I was changing. You were there too, Yancy, isn't it?" Melissa’s face was grotesquely contorted.
She glared hatefully at Bianca, as though she wanted to pour all the filth on her.
Yancy, Melissa's tall and muscular friend, stood out from the crowd and said that Melissa was not lying.
The surrounding guests were whispering among each other and pointing at Bianca…
Just when Bianca wanted to say something, the sound of a crisp slap shocked everyone.
"That's enough, Melissa Lerche! Bianca is the last person to be a thief!" Xavier glared at Melissa in frustration.
He knew Bianca's character very well.
Bianca was a person with very strong self-esteem. She would not lower herself to steal someone else's property!
Melissa covered her cheek and looked at Xavier in disbelief. "You slapped me because of that thief, Xavier? Because of that despicable witch?"
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 355-Sorry for the Disturbance, Sis
The host of the clubhouse glared at Melissa coldly. His tone of voice was like Arctic ice. "Miss, we do not tolerate such behavior here. This is a high- end place, and we do not welcome any guests who do not behave themselves. No one can insult any of my honored guests. You keep saying that my guest is a thief, but what you have lost is only a 900,000 dollar item. Anything of Mr. Crawford's presents to his woman would have cost at least millions. Would she be bothered about your diamond necklace? What nonsense!"
The other guests in the clubhouse exclaimed in surprise.
Indeed, Luke Crawford was richer than some countries. Any of his woman's accessories would have cost millions. Would she be bothered about stealing a 900,000-dollar necklace?
The woman had been yelling that Mr. Crawford's woman was a thief, but she did not have any evidence.
She must have lost her mind for accusing Mr. Crawford's woman in public.
Melissa had been slapped first by Xavier, then by Luke. She was like a trapped beast, ignoring the fact the people around her were important figures in A City.
All her manners were gone at that instant.
She gritted her teeth audibly, as though she wanted to tear Bianca and her family into shreds.
Meanwhile, Percy walked over while being escorted by a small group of people.
The man was dressed in a plain white button-down shirt, but his appearance was dazzling.
The top two buttons of his shirt were undone, which revealed his snow- white skin and sculpted collarbones.
His subordinates had already told him what happened. He gently tugged his tie.
People who knew him knew that he was getting impatient.
The soft light illuminated half of his handsome face. The other half was shrouded in shadows, which gave him a sinister aura. His subordinates around him were already drenched in cold sweat.
The host of the clubhouse quickly went up to him. "You don't have to come down yourself, Mr. Mallory. I'll handle it."
Percy said nothing.
In his hand was a lit menthol cigarette.
The rising smoke added to the feminine charm of his face.
He was undeniably beautiful, but at the same time eerie and cold.
The host stammered because of Percy's oppressive aura.
"Manager Claude,’ Percy interjected the host with his clear voice. "How long have you been working in Blue Honors?"
Manager Claude paused and sheepishly lowered his head. "Half… half a year."
Suddenly, Percy laughed out loud. His laughing face was beautiful, but it sent chills down everyone’s spines.
"Very well. You've been working here for half a year, but you can't handle something minor like this. I think it's time that you retire!" The man's mocking laughter caused Manager Claude's knees to go weak.
"Mr. Crawford is my honored guest. You should know what will happen if you show the slightest neglect."
Percy walked in front of Luke, and they exchanged glances. Then, he nodded at Bianca as a sign of greeting. novelbin
When he turned to look at Melissa, he took a drag of his cigarette and said impassively, "Who let this dog into Blue Honors? Why hasn't anyone driven her out yet?"
At first, Melissa was charmed by the man's hauntingly beautiful looks.
However, Percy's harsh words were like a bucket of cold water over her head and snapped her back to her senses.
'How dare this man say that I'm a dog! How arrogant!'
In her single-minded anger, Melissa did not notice that the other people were looking at Percy with fear.
She laughed out of anger and did not relent. "Do you have any manners? You say that I'm a dog, but you're lesser than a dog! I'm here to spend money, and the customer is always right. What right do you have to drive me away? Sure, I'll leave, but I want a full refund!"
Everyone was shocked. They could feel a chill in their hearts.
'Is this woman fearless, or is she just irredeemably stupid?'
In A City, Percy was more feared than the devil.
It was no exaggeration to say that anyone he wanted dead would not live to see the morning sun!
Xavier was almost losing it. Nothing good would happen whenever he went out with that stupid cousin of his.
He swore that he would not bring her out again, no matter what his parents told him.
Just as Melissa finished speaking, a dagger with a paper-thin blade sliced obliquely past the right side of her head…
As the dagger brushed past her scalp, it cut away her short hair.
What was left on her scalp was the white-colored skin. It was cleaner than using an electric shaver.
Her hair fell into a messy pile on the floor!
'What amazing skill!' Bianca thought.
How skillful was Percy to shave off the hair in one stroke without hurting the scalp?
Lanie and Rainie looked at Percy with the utmost admiration.
'Uncle Percy is so cool!' They were thoroughly enthralled.
Melissa was dumbfounded.
She stared blankly at her hair on the floor, then touched the right side of her head. When she felt her skin, she shrieked in fear.
Then, she started crying uglily. "Ah! My hair! Why is it all gone…"
Xavier had never felt so embarrassed in his life.
He dragged the bawling Melissa away. Together with her friends who were there to celebrate her birthday party, they left the scene.
After they were gone, Percy gave the order to his subordinates. "Blacklist that woman. I don't want to see something similar happen again!" "Yes, Mr. Mallory!’ All the employees of Blue Honors answered tremblingly.
"Sorry for the disturbance. Sis. This is an accident, and I promise this will not happen again. Everything is on the house today. I hope you and Luke will enjoy yourselves here." Percy flashed a gentle smile at Bianca.
He was no longer the vicious man with incredible dagger skills but a polite gentleman.
"It's fine. I still have to thank you for your help," Bianca replied courteously.
Luke glanced impatiently at the people around him. He did not want anyone else to take the opportunity to make acquaintances with him.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Luke brought Bianca and the twins into a private room.
Bianca sighed as she looked at Luke's back. They were there to have dinner, but they could not shake off the drama…
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 356-Shock and Disbelief!
In the private room, a purebred Persian cat was sleeping lazily on the snow- white fur carpet.
The Persian cat's long fur blended perfectly with the carpet…
Bianca did not notice it. She nearly stepped on the cat's tail with her high heels, which caused the sleeping cat to suddenly pounce.
As it pounced, it bared its teeth and hissed at Bianca, which gave her a huge shock!
She instinctively took a step backward, and she lost balance. If not that Luke supported her in time, she would have fallen on the floor!
"Are you OK?" Luke held Bianca in her arms while staring daggers at the " perpetrator."
The Persian cat was not intimidated by the man's imposing aura.
It shook its fur and started at the family of four with its sky-blue eyes. It looked like an arrogant but graceful noblewoman.
Rainie could not help but fall in love with that cute and furry creature.
She excitedly crouched down and stared at the cat while petting its soft fur. "Wow, Mommy, this cat is so pretty!"
The Persian cat purred as though it enjoyed the attention.
"That's a Persian cat, Rainie. I've seen it in picture books! It's so cute!" Lanie also fell in love with the cat. He quickly ran over and touched its head.
Old Master Crawford was not fond of animals, so pets were forbidden in Crawford Manor. Lanie and Rainie were only children, and they were naturally attracted to the cute animal. They started playing with it and did not want to leave.
Bianca was helpless when she looked at the two children and the cat.
She wanted to step forward to get the children, but her left ankle emanated a searing pain which almost caused her to lose her balance.
Luke's gaze fell on her left ankle when he heard her hiss in pain.
"Don't move!"
Luke helped Bianca to a nearby stool, took off her high heel and stocking, then carefully examined her delicate ankle. He furrowed his brows when he saw that it was slightly red and swollen. When he gently massaged it, Bianca gasped in pain.
"Don't worry, it's just a superficial injury," Luke comforted her.
"Mm." "Daddy, Mommy, can we bring this cat home? I love it so much!" Lanie ran in front of Bianca and Luke and asked seriously.
He was a boy, but he loved the cat more than Rainie. Seeing that the cat owner was not around, he thought of bringing it home to become his pet.
"You can't do that," Bianca spoke before Luke opened his mouth. ’This cat belongs to someone else. If we take it home without saying anything, their owner will be very sad when they can't find it. Also, taking things without permission is theft. That's not only immoral but also illegal. Lanie, if you and Rainie like cats, Daddy and I will buy one for you." "But Great-Grandpa doesn't allow pets in the house." Lanie seemed disappointed.
"Don't worry. If Great-Grandpa doesn't like pets, we'll keep it in another house." Bianca winked and patted Lanie's head.
"Yay! Mommy is the best!"
He was ecstatic when he heard that they could have their own cat.
He ran to his sister and tugged her arm. "Rainie! Mommy said that we can have our own cat. Are you happy?"
Rainie kissed the cat in her arms and glanced at Lanie. "I’m happy, but I really want to bring this one home…"
Just as she finished speaking, the cat in her arms suddenly pounced and landed in a young woman's arms!
The woman was in her early twenties, and she was dressed in a waitress's uniform. She looked quite beautiful with her long and curly eyelashes and her big and animated eyes.
However, she seemed quite shy.
"I'm sorry to have disturbed you, honored guests. The cat belongs to me. I thought I'd already locked it in its cage, but it somehow escaped. I apologize and hope that you will forgive me… Madam, I… I can pay any medical fees for your sprained ankle…’
The young woman looked apprehensively at Bianca as she looked at Bianca's swollen ankle.
She seemed to be fearful of the man.
She did not dare to look at Luke in the eye. Instead, she looked at Bianca and the two children while gently pressing her lips together.
That young woman was a waitress, and all the guests there were socialites. Some guests like to order the workers around because of their status, as though the workers were their servants.
Some guests had eccentric personalities and had made her life difficult.
The young woman was prepared that Luke and Bianca were such people.
"You shouldn't apologize. I'm the one who should say sorry. I didn't notice your cat and nearly stepped on its tail. I'm the one who's at fault," Bianca said gently.
Bianca thought that the young woman seemed familiar at first glance, especially those beautiful eyes. She could not remember where she had seen them before.
The young woman did not expect that the woman with a refreshing smile was so kind. She smiled gratefully at Bianca.
That had left a good impression on Bianca.
The young woman might be wearing a waitress's uniform, but that could not conceal her unique demeanor.
"Can I play with your cat for a little longer, Miss? I'll return it before we leave.' Lanie and Rainie lifted their heads and stared at the Persian cat in the young woman's arms.
The cat's owner hesitated for a moment, but seeing how cute and innocent the children were, she handed the cat to them.
The two children happily took the car. Then, the cat's owner turned to speak to Bianca. "Madam, when you are about to leave, you can send the cat over to the service department office. Just say that it's for Scarlett Quincy…" 2
Bianca looked at the two cat-crazy children and smiled at Scarlett as a sign of gratitude. 'Thank you, Ms. Quincy. Sorry for the trouble. I'll make sure that the children take good care of the cat, and they'll return it to you before we leave."
Not far away, Leia was hidden behind a thick patch of trees. When she saw the young woman in the waitress's uniform, her eyes widened in incredulity.
'Scarlett Quincy?'
Leia started trembling when she heard that name.
'Scarlett Quincy… why is she here?*
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 357-The Truth Behind the Adoption!
Leia knew from Allison that Luke was having dinner at Blue Honors. She dressed up and wanted to surprise him with her appearance.
She did not expect that Bianca was together with him.
'What's so good about Bianca that he loved him so much?’ i
What made Leia even more disconcerted was that she had met Scarlett Quincy, a girl from the same orphanage.
Leia closed her eyes, trying hard not to think of those detestable memories.
Unfortunately, scenes from the past replayed in her mind like a movie.
When they were taken in by the orphanage at the same time, Leia was six years old, while Scarlett was five.
Back then, Leia was emaciated, and she did not speak much. She looked as though she came out of a refugee camp. Meanwhile, Scarlett was dressed in a puffy princess dress and wearing a tiara. She was as beautiful as an angel. novelbin
Scarlett had a good temperament, and she knew how to sing, dance, and tell stories. Every child in the orphanage, no matter girl or boy, liked her and constantly surrounded her.
Meanwhile, no one ignored the timidly and shy Leia.
Leia could not understand why Scarlett would end up in an orphanage. She should have belonged in a wealthy family, where she would be showered by love and adoration.
All she knew was that she wanted people to pay attention to her instead of Scarlett!
The six-year-old Leia looked like she was good friends with Scarlett, but she had framed Scarlett in secret: Stealing, pranking, putting bugs in the other children's beds, setting fire to public property…
She had blamed Scarlett for all those misdeeds.
Eventually, she replaced Scarlett as the most adored child in the orphanage.
Meanwhile, Scarlett was branded as a "thief" and a "problem child,’ and everyone hated her. Scarlett spent her next five years in emotional violence.
One day, Jack Norman and his wife came to the orphanage to adopt a child.
Leia knew that her opportunity to change her life had come. She had to grasp that opportunity so that she could escape the orphanage.
After living there for many years, she knew that the orphanage was nothing but a charitable front with terrible living conditions. Not only did she not have a full meal, but certain good-looking children would disappear every year to be replaced by more children. That had made her wary.
Leia did not understand at first what was going on. However, she accidentally eavesdropped on the conversation between the warden and some strangers and found out about their underhanded dealings.
The orphanage was a charity in disguise. Actually, they were grooming girls as child brides.
Once the girls come of age, they would sell them to those bad guys.
From the conversation, Leia found out that they would groom her until she was eighteen years old, directly sell her to a wealthy man, and earn a fortune from there.
As for herself, the warden said that she would be sold in one or two years to a disabled tycoon who had a penchant for young girls…
Leia broke out in cold sweat when she heard that. She could not imagine her fate if she were to fall into that tycoon's hands.
Looking at the other innocent children and Scarlett's angelic face, Leia mocked them for being naive. They did not know what would happen to them.
That was when Leia started to plan her escape.
The opportunity finally came.
All the children were so excited that they could not sleep when they heard that Secretary Norman was coming to the orphanage to adopt one of them. They all dressed up and hoped that they would be the chosen one.
Leia was not afraid of anyone else other than Scarlett, who was prettier than her.
She might have ruined Scarlett's reputation, but she was worried that the Normans might judge them by their appearances and pick Scarlett. She was not going to let that happen!
The night before the Normans came, Leia sneaked a strong laxative into Scarlett's dinner. Scarlett suffered from serious diarrhea that night.
The next morning, Scarlett did not have the energy to get out of bed and missed the chance to be chosen by the Normans.
Without the biggest threat in her way, Leia won the hearts of the Normans with her beautiful appearance and intelligent brain. She was brought back to the Norman family house and lived the life of a princess.
The orphanage continued to exist, and she would tremble in fear every time it was mentioned. She did not expose the orphanage's misdeeds; that was none of her business anymore.
Now, she was a Norman.
At first, she was very cautious with how she acted. She did not want her adoptive parents to hate her and send her away.
However, she realized that Queenie, her adoptive mother, was sincerely kind to her. Jack, her adoptive father, also treated her like his birth daughter.
As she eased into her role as Jack and Queenie's daughter, so did her temperament change…
A few years later, Leia got the news that the orphanage had been shut down by the police, the warden and a VIP were arrested, and all the children were transferred to another orphanage.
She had been paying attention to Scarlett in secret. After all, Scarlett was her greatest rival.
Later, she found out that Scarlett had left the orphanage and furthered her studies while working. Her quality of life outside of the orphanage was not much different from when she was inside.
That was no comparison to Leia’s pampered life in the Norman household.
Scarlett became more beautiful, and Leia considered herself lucky. If she had not deployed underhanded means so that the Normans selected her, the child to be chosen would most likely be Scarlett.
No one knew that Leia had always wanted to ruin Scarlett's impeccable face.
Much later, when Scarlett was seventeen years old, she went missing…
Leia had heard that someone had violated Scarlett, which caused her to become pregnant.
For a while, she was happy about the news.
Why would Scarlett suddenly appear in Blue Honors in a waitress's uniform, and why would she be speaking to Bianca, that despicable woman?
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 358-That's Exactly What I'm Looking For!
Leia's hand clenched onto the handbag tightly as she stared at the scene.
Even though it was as if a stormy sea was rumbling in her heart, she still had to put on a look on her face to show and pretend that there was nothing wrong.
"Scarlett Quincy, room number three.’ Suddenly, a woman who looked like the maitre d'hotel called Scarlett in a hurry.
"Got it, I'll be there soon! Excuse me, miss, I have something else to attend to.” Scarlett smiled apologetically at Bianca.
Bianca smiled and nodded, motioning her to go ahead.
After Scarlett left, Luke thoughtfully picked up Bianca bridal style and walked into the private room.
When Leia saw how thoughtful Luke was when taking care of Bianca in front of her, she was deeply hurt.
'Bianca Rayne?!
'Bianca Rayne??!
'She’s nothing but a plain old Jane! Why should Luke treat her any differently?'
Leia thought about all the things she had done for Luke, how much she had devoted herself to him, but he had never treated her that tenderly before. ‘ That’s so unfair!’
When Leia saw how harmonious the family of four looked, she could not help but feel intensely jealous.
Bianca could stand beside Luke publicly, enjoying his tenderness and thoughtfulness, while she could only stand in the far corner by herself. It was totally unfair!
At that moment, Leia's heart was full of jealousy and hatred.
She felt that now she was Luke's woman, in any case, she must marry that excellent man. Even if she could not win him over, she must at least get her hands on him physically!
Leia's gaze fell on the back view of the warm family, and her facial expression distorted hideously.
She would never give up so easily!
As Leia looked at the noble-looking Persian cat in Rainie's arms, a cold sneer appeared on her face…
Leia put on her sunglasses and wrapped herself tightly with a wide scarf.
After that, she went to the bathroom.
After she confirmed that there was no one inside, she quietly made a call before going out.
The name of each private room in Blue Honors was very poetic, such as Delicate Boudoir, Azure Cloud Room, Intoxicated Dark Lane, House Overlooking The Sea, and so on.
Each of the rooms had been decorated uniquely.
The room that Bianca and her family of three entered was named Clear Ethereal Stream. The room was the VIP room in Blue Honors and was a sort of duplex structure. It had a huge space, and all its furnishings and decorations made visitors feel as if they were brought back to nature. It felt as if they were really in the great outdoors.
In the Clear Ethereal Stream room, a huge pistacia weinmannifolia that looked nearly 100 years old had luscious flowers and leaves that grew past the walls of the entire room.
Beneath the flowering trees was a gurgling and flowing stream of spring water.
Among the pebbles and algae that spread across the room, when they listened carefully, they could even hear rustling sounds of pine trees in the wind that sounded like waves.
There were also old corals, antique silverware, and other ornaments that hung around the room. When a person entered the room, their gaze was met with stunning views all around them.
Bianca marveled at the clever layout that was presented. It was no wonder the price tag here was sky- high. Such an environment could not be found at other decent establishments.
"The interior here is really good." Bianca was impressed and expressed at the table again.
The layout there was so gorgeous that even the floor of their room was made of a special transparent glass material that allowed them to clearly see the fishes swimming in the water.
"If you like, we can come here more often in the future," Luke said dotingly.
He had been to places like this hundreds of times, not to mention his collaboration in the layout and design here. Naturally, he was not as amazed as Bianca.
Even so, as long as Bianca liked it, he was happy.
The bright and happy smile on Bianca's face was the best gift she could ever give him.
The two little kiddos sat upright at the dining table.
Luke had taught them well, and their table manners were perfect and impeccable.
The lazy Persian cat laid in Rainie's arms like a sloth.
It was curled up in the little girl's arms and laid motionlessly as it let Rainie gently caress its white shiny fur obediently.
The handsome waiter in blue uniform and white gloves served the dishes one by one. The dishes included Alba White Truffle, Almas Caviar, Crolla's Royale pizza, Seafood Treasure Pot Curry, and many more. All the food and drinks were rare and uncommon treasures.
When the food was placed on the table, the waiter respectfully made a professional bow and then quietly retreated.
"My babies, the two of you are still growing, so you’ll need to eat more."
Just as Bianca was about to pick up some of the food for the two children,
Luke had already picked up a portion of food and placed it on the plate in front of her.
"The stuff here is pretty good. Here, try it," Luke said.
Bianca glanced at Lanie and Rainie who were staring at her eagerly, then looked at Luke a little embarrassedly. "I’ll take what I want. You're the kids' father, so you should give them the food first…"
Luke asserted eloquently, "They have both their hands and feet, can't they do it by themselves? I only get food for my wife." "…" Rainie and Blanche were left speechless at the same time.
They wished they could roar at their dad at the same time and ask, 'Daddy, how can you show favoritism so blatantly, displaying your lovey-doveyness like this in front of us? Is this really how a dad should act?’
They were still kiddos!
Even so, perhaps they were used to the way their father pampered their mother, so the two children did not make a big deal out of it. Instead, they quietly ate their meal with their tiny cutleries.
The alluring aroma that wafted from the food made the Persian cat's initially closed round eyes suddenly widen.
It stuck out its long furry tongue and salivated as it stared at the food on the table. The cat's tail shook with excitement, and it wished it could just jump onto the table and wolf everything down.
Its cute and silly expression made everyone laugh…
Rainie and Lanie took out an empty plate and placed some of the food for the Persian cat.
The Persian cat ate gracefully and made a satisfied expression from time to time, which made everyone laugh.
In the room, Luke's family of four and a fat and extravagant Persian cat happily ate their meal while everyone had a good laugh. 1
On the other side, Leia was in a dark alley making a deal with a hoarse- sounding man who wore a huge baseball hat and a black mask.
Leia gave the man a thick wad of cash that she had just taken out.
The man whose face could not be seen gave her a box of canned cat food and a sharp syringe with a green liquid in it.
"Does this medicine work? You’d better make sure things don’t screw up by the time it needs to work!” Leia stared suspiciously at the small syringe filled with green liquid.
The man with the hoarse voice whispered, ’I've been working for you for many years. You should know very well whether I'm reliable or not. Are you saying that you don't trust me? This medicine is specially designed for cats. As long as the medicine is injected into the cat, I can promise that it'll go crazy. However, cats injected by the medicine are very strong. When the cat scratches a person, it'll disfigure their face. So, Ms. Norman, you must be very careful…"
Leia took the thing and laughed cruelly. "That’s exactly what I'm looking for.’’
She wanted to disfigure Bianca! 2
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 359-A Familiar Face
After Leia took the item from the man's hand, she carefully stuffed it into the pocket of her jacket.
She walked toward Blue Honors.
When she passed a crossroad, a dirty hand suddenly grabbed the corner of her coat. "Miss, can you do me favor? Can you spare some change?"
Leia took off her sunglasses.
She frowned in disgust when she saw a shaggy homeless person tugging on the corner of her clothes.
The homeless man was drunk and wore a shabby jacket with holes. His clothes were dirty, and his natural skin color was barely visible from all the dirt. His face was in a horrible mess and it seemed as if he had not washed his face for at least a week.
Leia could not stand his sloppy and dirty appearance.
"Piss off!" Leia rudely kicked the homeless man away with her high-heeled boots.
When she saw the stains on the corner of her clothes where the homeless man had touched, Leia's brows furrowed deeper.
It seemed that the new coat that she had just bought not long ago was about to be thrown away soon!
Leia did not want to be bothered with him any longer because she was in a hurry, but the homeless man crawled over to her again, grabbing her legs tightly and not wanting to let go.
His breath stank of alcohol, and that made Leia nauseous.
The homeless rascal said, "If you don't give me any money, I’m not going to let you go that easily!"
Leia was furious. She used her hands and feet together, kicking and trampling the homeless man.
Although the homeless man already had too much to drink, he was still a man and had a lot of strength. Leia used up a lot of strength before she successfully kicked him away, so much so that even the thick furry scarf that covered most of her face loosened up from the wind. She did not even realize when it happened…
"Su… Suzy…" When the homeless man saw Leia's face, it seemed as if he was struck by lightning. He stared at the familiar face in a daze and suddenly became sober.
Leia found out that her scarf had loosened up.
As if she was a thief who got caught, she re-wrapped her scarf in a panic as her eyes darted around the place vigilantly to survey the surroundings, lest there might be hidden surveillance cameras or reporters lying in a corner somewhere. She was afraid that someone would catch and film this indecent scene of her.
Last time, the tabloids about her at the bar were already disturbing enough.
If there was another headline in the tabloids that said something like ‘Pure Female Celebrity Leia Abuses A Homeless Man’, the saliva produced from the people talking about it would drown her. In addition to that, it would affect her good image as a well-behaved and sensible daughter in her parents' eyes.
This was definitely not the outcome she wanted.
Fortunately, because of the cold weather, there were only the occasional vehicles passing by on the street and a few scattered pedestrians far away from them. It seemed that everyone's attention was
away from them.
After all, it was the middle of a heavy winter. No one was in the mood to care about the life and death of a homeless man.
Leia cursed under her breath, and as if she was avoiding trash, she bypassed the scruffy homeless man from a far distance. She walked hurriedly and turned back to Blue Honors again.
The homeless man who was beaten up by her seemed to be walking aimlessly on the road, but he was actually following Leia.
When he saw Leia walking toward an extremely luxurious clubhouse and a door boy eagerly opening the door for her, the homeless man’s cloudy and old eyes suddenly burst with a thoughtful light. 'Suzy, that woman looks so much like you. Could it be that she's our daughter?'
Halfway through Bianca and her family's meal, the Persian cat suddenly smelled something strange. It was the smell of its beloved food. Suddenly, it jumped off the table and rushed over toward the direction of the smell!
"Mommy, the kitty ran away-" Rainie's eyes turned red with anxiety when she saw the Persian cat running away. The little girl jumped down from the small stool and tried to chase after the cat that had suddenly run away.
"Rainie!" Bianca was anxious, so she got up and tried to stop her daughter. She grabbed and hugged her in her arms. "That kitty is probably going to find its owner. Be a good girl, let the kitty go back, alright? When we go home, I’ll buy you another kitty, okay?" "But Mommy, I'm not done playing with the kitty. And Great-grandpa won't let us have pets…" Rainie bit her index finger and blinked her big eyes at Bianca sadly.
Luke gracefully wiped the corners of his lips and said, "If Great-grandpa won't let you have a pet, I’ll let you. In a few days, the four of us will be moving out. By that time, you and your brother will be able to have your own pets, on the condition that the two of you must take care and love them."
Rainie's eyes lit up suddenly. 'Daddy, is that true?" "When has Daddy ever lied to us? He's a man of his words! If he says so, it must be true!" Blanche trusted Luke with all his heart.
When Blanche heard that he could have his own cute little pet in the future, he was extremely happy.
"Mommy, do you think that kitty went back to the beautiful miss? The cat is so beautiful and cute. It won’t be nice if someone else catches it away," Rainie said cutely.
Bianca thought about it and agreed. That Persian cat was indeed very beautiful.
Even though the customers who came here were rich and wealthy, no one could guarantee that there were not any other children like Rainie and Lanie who liked cats and would take it away.
In order to satisfy her daughter, Bianca informed Luke and brought Rainie and Lanie to follow after the Persian cat to make sure.
Luke thought that since it was Percy's area, the security was impeccable and nothing bad would happen, so he agreed.
The washroom.
Leia held the can of canned cat food that wafted out a delicious fragrance. That canned food was unique and at least ten times more fragrant than normal canned cat food.
The typical cat's nose was sensitive, let alone a purebred Persian cat.
Sure enough, the snow-white Persian cat was attracted to the scent of the canned cat food and was led to the bathroom.
The Persian cat meowed at Leia a few times, and the greedy cat salivated as it stared at the canned cat food in her hands.
"Here, kitty, kitty. Come and have some food. Come here…" Leia called to it in the softest voice, and the canned cat food in her hand tempted it over.
The Persian cat took elegant steps and approached Leia step by step.
Leia waited for it to approach her and suddenly raised the sharp syringe in her hands. She was about to fiercely pierce it into the back of the Persian cat!
Although the Persian cat was greedy, it was also very clever.
When the extremely vigilant cat saw Leia's hand tightly grasping a syringe that she was about to pierce into it, it jumped three feet high in terror and landed on the flower stand next to the sink!
The Persian cat hissed and showed its teeth at Leia as it stared at her, wishing it could pounce on her and scratch her face.
The woman wanted to pierce it with a needle! What a bad woman!
"Hey, little thing, this canned cat food is super delicious, don't you want to eat it?" When Leia saw the Persian cat jumping onto the flower stand, she pushed down her anger and held up the fragrant canned cat food at it to tempt it again.
The Persian cat held up its furry tail in disdain, looking down at her from the top.
Its arrogant appearance looked as if it was looking at Leia in contempt. That made Leia so angry that she wanted to climb up and grab that nasty Persian cat to cook it as stew!
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 360-Nip Each One In The Bud!
Leia leaned against the wall of the bathroom and almost exploded in anger due to the Persian cat.
No matter how much she tried to tempt the cat with the canned cat food, it would not get down from the flower stand! It was a freaking cunning little thing!
No matter what, she had to inject the liquid medicine into the cat.
Otherwise, she could not go ahead with the next step of her plan!
Leia took off her high-heeled boots and climbed barefoot onto the sink.
She wanted to grab the cat from the flower stand down herself.
Unexpectedly, the snow-white Persian cat seemed to guess her intentions. When Leia had just climbed onto the sink, it jumped off the flower stand directly onto the ground.
At the same time, its sharp claws scratched Leia’s white and tender flesh when it passed by her!
If Leia had not reacted quick enough and blocked her face with her arm in time, her beautiful face would have been sliced through by that time.
Leia almost fell down.
Meanwhile, the Persian cat even meowed a few times at her to show its dominance. That made Leia's face twist in anger as she vowed to catch that crazy cat!
Finally, after her tireless struggle with the Persian cat, she caught the cat and successfully injected it with the green liquid medicine.
The bad thing that happened to her though, was that the back of her hand was also scratched by the Persian cat and she was left with a few bloody marks.
On the other side, Bianca and the twins were looking for the Persian cat.
She asked a few waiters on their way and some of them said that they perhaps saw a white cat running into the washroom.
She brought Lanie and Rainie along and walked toward the washroom together.
When they went around the corner, they met Leia and her assistant.
Leia had meticulous makeup on as she wore the latest Prada pink coat, matched with a white shirt and black leather pants with leather gloves on both of her hands. Her aura was very strong and she looked just like a celebrity.
On the other hand, her assistant was ugly, slightly fat, and cowardly. It was a stark contrast to Leia.
Being a celebrity assistant entailed taking care of a celebrity's life, but in fact, it was almost like being a babysitter.
Bianca understood that celebrities usually did not choose beautiful assistants for fear of stealing the limelight, and Leia's assistant was no exception.
When Bianca saw Leia, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Although she knew that Luke had no interest in Leia, Bianca still did not like her.
Bianca did not want to pay any attention to Leia, so she took the two twins and continued to move forward. However, Leia called out to her, "Ms. Rayne, what a coincidence that I'm meeting you here." "Nope, not a coincidence. Many customers come to eat here every day. I think occasionally meeting
each other here is normal. Ms. Norman, I'm just wondering, is it really a coincidence that we're meeting here?" Bianca said with a fake smile.
"Where's Luke? Why isn't he here with you guys?" Leia pretended to be surprised even though she already knew.
Bianca squeezed the two children's small hands and smiled sweetly at Leia. ’Luke came with me. He said that he has been busy with work recently and doesn't spend enough time with us. He said he felt that he owes it to me and the children, so he decided to specially spend time together with his wife and kids today. I felt bad, but he said that no matter how much money he makes, he can't compare it to the happiness he feels when he's with his family." 1
When Leia saw Bianca's sweet smile and listened to how she talked about her blessed life, she suddenly felt that the scratches on the back of her hand from the cat's attack earlier became even more painful.
Although she was extremely irritated, she had to show self-restraint on the outside.
"I hope that you can laugh so happily every day!" Leia gave Bianca a meaningful look, patted her shoulders as she walked past her, and snorted before walking toward a room with her assistant.
When Bianca saw her inexplicable smile, she shuddered unconsciously.
'What is Leia trying to say? Is this her way of publicly declaring war on me?
When Bianca thought of that possibility, it worsened her antipathy toward that C-lister female celebrity. If Luke had never disclosed their relationship publicly and if they were not together, then Leia could compete fairly with her. The point was that Leia knew that she was Luke's girlfriend and had no intentions of getting involved with her, but she still insisted to budge between them. That clearly showed she had major personality issues.
Rainie glanced at Bianca, furrowed her delicate brows, and said, "Mommy, I don't like that aunty just now. I don't like her at all!"
Lanie also grumbled, "Yeah, Mommy, that aunty has a bad attitude toward you. Does she like Daddy? She's so annoying. She acts just the same way as all the other bad aunties who chased after Daddy before.’
Children always had sensitive intuitions. Although they did not understand the tit for tat in the adult world, they could sense the hostility between the two women.
"That aunty does like your daddy.’ Bianca looked at the two tiny tots and asked curiously, "Did many women chase after Daddy before?" "Yes, in the words of Uncle Louis, there were plenty of women, as many as fishes in the sea. Some women even deliberately approached me and my sister in order to please Daddy. It was really annoying… But Daddy usually ignored them and drove all of them away," Lanie said with his big glimmering eyes.
When Bianca heard Luke's romantic history of being chased by other women from her own son, she sighed softly.
Luke was too good of a man whom many women scrambled for. If it were not for his firm will and OCD, he might have become a playboy like Louis.
In the future, if she married that man, he would still be popular with women.
Even so, it did not matter. She would nip each one in the bud when she saw one. She still had a long time ahead of her and was confident that she could nip every love affair that came for him in the bud.
"Mommy, did I say something wrong? Are you sad, Mommy?" Lanie was a little nervous when he saw Bianca looking down.
"No. Weren't we looking for the kitty? Let's go to the washroom and have a look…"
Bianca took the hands of the two little kiddos, and as soon as she stepped through the washroom door, a woman bumped into her. She looked so scared that she had lost all colors on her face. The woman who bumped into Bianca had knocked her so hard that she let go of her hand that was holding Lanie’s hand.
There were a few animal scratches on the woman's face of varying depths. They were all bleeding, and she looked terrifying. novelbin
The woman ran in horror as she clutched her injured face and kindly turned her head around, advising Bianca as well as the children, ’There's a white cat in the washroom that has gone crazy! It'll bite anyone that it sees!
You'd better not go in… Take care of the children!"
As soon as she said that, a white shadow that was as fast as lightning rushed out of the bathroom.
It swung its sharp claws and used them on the most defenseless little Rainie standing at the very front!
