Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 531-Fate Is Kind To Us
There was a reason why Peyton Schmidt changed his statement abruptly. Even though he was in prison, a large portion of his property had disappeared, and no one had been able to find its whereabouts.
However, Luke managed to find out that Peyton had a mistress and an illegitimate child.
Before he was arrested, Peyton had secretly moved the mother and child to Switzerland and had transferred his property under the child's name.
That was how Luke threatened Peyton, saying that if Peyton did not follow his instructions, he would expose the whereabouts of his property, and the mother and child's lives would be put in danger.
Peyton was resentful toward the threat, but he had no choice.
Luke had taken extreme care in ensuring that there were no flaws in every step of his plan.
Any flaw would result in his plan's failure.
After Bianca listened to the concise but comprehensive narration, she could not help but be impressed by the man's attention to detail.
Ten years ago, Bianca was only a timid student, but Luke was already mature and cunning.
She knew that she could not compare to him.
Bianca could not help but say, "Ten years ago, I was only an introverted bookworm who didn't know how to interact with people, but you're already negotiating business deals... No wonder I stopped seeing you at the high school in the small town. It turns out that you went home to take over the family
business. Didn't you know that after you left, I would wait by your usual haunts, such as the basketball court, the cafeteria, and your classroom... Every time, I hoped to see you, but every time I would leave alone. I thought that we would never meet again, but fate was kind to us, and we eventually found each other again." "All's well that ends well." Luke hugged Bianca tightly and caressed her smooth and fair skin. He was also reliving his memories.
His grandfather had ordered him to return to take over the family business, and he did not have the chance to say goodbye to her.
He thought that his crush on Bianca was one-sided, but he did not expect that Bianca had the same feelings for him too. Undoubtedly, he was lucky.
"The doctor said that I only have to rest for another week before I can walk like normal again. I want to go back to work," Bianca said with a smile.
She had stayed at home for about three months. She had nothing to do at home except for reading books, and she was already extremely bored.
If she did not go to work, she would feel completely out of touch with society.
"Alright." Luke looked at her with an ambiguous smile. "You really can't stay put. Other women dream about a man that would sustain their lavish lifestyle without having to work, but you want to go back to work so eagerly. Even when you're resting at home, you're still working..."
Luke knew that in the past three months, Bianca had been completing work milestones and accepting private commissions. She sat in front of the computer, drawing designs every day. Sometimes, he thought that she was busier than him. He did not know what to say about her.
"I like being busy with work. Work makes me satisfied. If I don't work, I'll feel worried somehow. I guess I'm not meant to enjoy my life. Ah..." Bianca said jokingly.
Suddenly, she yelped. "What happened?" Luke was nervous.
"Our baby. It's moving." Bianca placed Luke's hand on her stomach.
It was Bianca's second pregnancy, and the bulge was already showing at five months. It was her first time feeling the fetus move.
Luke caressed Bianca's stomach with his calloused hand. He could feel slight movement.
The movement was as light as a butterfly flapping its wings, but he was amazed by it.
The baby in Bianca's womb was the product of their love.
When Bianca was pregnant with the twins, they did not have any interactions outside of carnal intercourse. Luke had not caressed her bulging stomach gently or enjoyed a loving family and a successful career.
Luke felt truly blissful.
Meanwhile, Leia, who had been spoiled and pampered ever since she had entered the Norman family, had not stopped crying for the past few days.
She did not expect that her last trump card was rendered useless before she could even play it!
What was even more unexpected was that the emergence of the CD did not affect Luke at all. A man who looked the same as he took the fall for him!
She wanted her father to stand up for her, but what she received was Luke's insincere apology in front of the media.
That was not what she wanted!
What she wanted was the title of Mrs. Crawford. However, she ended up with nothing...
Most unexpectedly, the public opinion that had sided with her had taken a dramatic turn. Her shameful past was once again brought to the limelight. The media had even managed to find Dexter Shaw, the gambling addict who was her birth father!
In the interview, Dexter cried and complained about his daughter's merciless deeds. He had been terminally ill, and he went to look for Leia. Not only did the woman not recognize him, but she treated him like a panhandler, hired some people to beat him up, and ditched him in the outskirts of the city.
Dexter also produced some evidence in case the public did not believe him.
The video that was recorded in secret was not very clear, but Leia's face was clearly seen.
In the video, Leia was looking down upon Dexter arrogantly as though she was looking at a worm. The filthy language she used to insult Dexter also shocked the netizens!
[Oh my god! Is that really Leia Norman, my pure goddess?] [Oh my, I can't believe that the pure Leia Norman on the screen can be so deplorable in real life...] (That can't be... my goddess... I've been following her since her debut... I can't believe that it's her true character... No, no, no, I can't believe it...] [What's there not to believe? A well-mannered girl wouldn’t behave like what she did in the video!]
Leia's already tarnished reputation dropped even further. Even her company's PR campaign did little to save her.
All she could do was to hide at home and wait anxiously for her adoptive parents to deal with the negative press.
She was not going to give up just like that.
After calming down at home, she suddenly thought of someone!
Soon, a hint of malice flashed in her lifeless eyes! 1
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 532- Second Brother Might Be Afraid of Luke Crawford, But I’m Not!
The next day, in the presidential suite.
The big bed was shaking violently. As the man grunted and the woman moaned, a thick smell of decadence wafted in the air.
After a beastly low growl, the room slowly resumed its calm.
Leia leaned on Wayne's solid chest and hugged his neck. "Are you happy with my performance today, mmm?" "It's so rare that you take the initiative. What do you want? Just say it." Wayne laid in bed and hugged Leia, though he kept his hands busy.
"Naughty you! I've missed you. What else could I want?" Leia suddenly flipped onto his body and performed several bold maneuvers.
Wayne laughed. "You seemed so reluctant only a few days ago. Don't tell me that you've changed so fast! Have you begun to enjoy it?"
Leia cast a seductive glance at him. "How can you say that about me, Wayne? Haven't you heard the saying, 'If you can't fight it, you might as well lie down and enjoy it.'? Your skills are so amazing. No wonder so many women fall for your charms..."
Wayne was carried away by Leia's flattery. "Oh? So how do I compare to Luke Crawford?"
Leia's expression instantly sank when that name was mentioned. Even her voice became sinister. "Don't mention that man to me. How can he compare to you? The man had ruined my reputation. I've never felt such humiliation in my life..."
Aggrieved tears started falling from her eyes.
Her head rested on Wayne's chest once more, and she pouted. "I'm so sad, Wayne... I thought that my adoptive parents truly loved me, but it turned out that it was all a sham. Luke had called off the proposal in public. He had shamed me and humiliated my family, but they don't go to the Crawford family to demand justice. Instead, they ask me to stay at home and retire from the entertainment industry.
"They wouldn't have treated me like this if I were their birth daughter. How cruel! I guess I can only blame that I'm unlucky. No one in this world loves me or cares about me. You're probably the only person in this world who treats me well..."
Leia's admiration and dependence toward Wayne made him feel like a hero. "Don't cry, baby. You say that no one loves you, but I'm here for you. Anyone who bullies you is my enemy. If you're my woman, I won't let anyone harm you!" i
Leia's gloomy eyes flashed with a hint of intrigue when she heard Wayne's promise to her. "Do you mean everything you say?" "Of course. I won't lie to my woman. How can I call myself a man if I can't protect my woman?" Wayne said gruffly.
Leia hid her disgust and pretended to look surprised. She hugged her neck and said, "I was wrong, Wayne. I was blind to have a crush on Luke. I've never known that he’s such a heartless person, and that was why he managed to hurt me so much. All I have for him now is endless hate. I'm suffering here, so how can he pretend as though nothing happened? And there's that b*tch Bianca Rayne too. If not for her, I wouldn't have suffered. I want her to suffer too! Can you help me, Wayne?"
Wayne hesitated for a while. He remembered what his second brother told him.
As a special forces soldier, he was usually on missions abroad. However, he had occasionally heard his second brother, who was a businessman, talk about Luke Crawford.
As experienced and crafty as his second brother might be, he seemed to be afraid of Luke. He said that Luke was a merciless and cunning person, and he had warned Wayne to stay away from Luke if possible, i
However, when he saw Leia looking at him with an admiring gaze that evoked pity, his chauvinistic tendencies took over his rationality. So what if his second brother feared Luke Crawford? He did not!
He was a special forces soldier and the leader of a troop of mercenaries.
Why would he be afraid of a money-minded businessman?
Wayne glanced at Leia playfully. 'If I help you, how will you repay me, hmm?
Leia chuckled, and her body shivered.
Her hand slowly traveled down Wayne's body and gripped his manhood." Of course... I'll let you do whatever you want."
Wayne laughed. He flipped over and pinned Leia under his body. "Are you hungry again? Let me nourish you!"
Wayne got someone to observe Luke's mansion for a few days. He discovered that the security was airtight.
Ever since Luke realized that someone had been snooping on his hidden mansion, he tightened the security around the place.
Countless high-definition security cameras were hidden in every location.
They could turn 360 degrees in every direction, capturing everything.
The security footage was in color, and the people inside the house could see all the happenings outside.
On the road leading to the mansion, an access card system was set up. 1
Luke hired many more security guards and installed an electric fence.
For a normal human, the security measures were extremely strict.
However, as a special forces soldier, Wayne had infiltrated houses with even stricter security measures and assassinated the supreme leader of a certain country. Those security measures would not stop him.
It was all too easy for him to kill a defenseless woman.
However, he could not be bothered to act himself. He ordered his elite subordinates to monitor the people that entered and exited the mansion.
An opportunity finally came.
One day, in the garden of the mansion, several peony plants began to wither.
Those peonies were of a rare variety. Luke had bought the seeds for
Bianca, and Bianca had planted and taken good care of them. The flowers were about to bloom, but they suddenly began to wither.
The gardener examined the plants closely. He told Bianca that the plants were infested with aphids that usually gathered at the branches, stalks, and backs of leaves. Certain pesticides could save the plants before it was too late.
Otherwise, the insects would cause the stems and leaves of the plants to rot, and the plant would eventually wither and die.
Bianca was very anxious about saving her plants. She requested the gardener to buy the pesticide for her.
The gardener went to his usual supplier to buy the pesticide and sprayed it on the plants.
In one afternoon, the peony plants seemed to have returned to life.
In the late afternoon, Bianca sat in the garden and chatted with Luke through a video call. She mentioned how the peonies she had planted had fallen sick, and she was worried about them as though the plants were her children.
Just when Luke was about to warn Bianca to stay away from the plants because they had pesticides sprayed on them, he suddenly heard Bianca shriek in fear!
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 533-Undoubtedly, Someone Planned This!
Luke's heart was in his throat when he heard Bianca shrieking in fear." What's wrong, Bianca?"
Bianca could not speak when she saw the scene in front of her.
Snakes! So many snakes!
She was sitting on the swing, and her first instinct was to get off it.
However, in her panic, she could not control her injured leg very well and nearly fell to the ground.
Fortunately, her hand managed to grab onto a thick branch so that she did not have to fall face-first on the ground. 1 "What's going on, Bianca?" Luke sounded extremely worried.
Bianca pointed the camera of her phone at the fearful creatures on the ground. She dared not move a muscle.
Through the voice call, Luke could see tens of black snakes surging toward Bianca…
His heart skipped a beat, and his eyes instantly widened in anger!
Those snakes were black mambas, the most dangerous and venomous snake in the world. They were feared fortheir speed and ferocity; two drops of their venom was enough to kill.
However, those snakes were only found in Africa, South Asia, and certain tropical areas. They should not have appeared there. Someone must have deliberately brought them to the mansion!
Bianca tried to keep calm, but her hand that was holding the phone was shaking. ’Luke, there's… so many… black snakes… Why would there be so many snakes in the garden…"
She could not speak a complete sentence because of her fear.
Bianca was very afraid of snakes and other slithery cold-blooded animals.
Seeing several black snakes slithering quickly toward her with their blood- red forked tongues out, Bianca was stunned.
Her heart was thumping faster and faster.
She had an aversion toward snakes. She would even shy away from watching movies about snakes.
The fear when she saw multiple snakes slithering toward her had far exceeded her normal tolerance.
"Quickly run away, Bianca!" Luke roared at the helpless Bianca. "Quickly run into the house and don't come out! Go in the room next to the study upstairs. There are several hunting rifles and tranquilizer darts. You can use them to protect yourself… Don't be afraid. I'm coming home now!"
At that moment, Bianca's life was the most important. He could not care that Bianca might agitate the baby in her womb when she ran.
As he continued to talk to Bianca on the phone, he quickly dialed a number on another phone to contact the security guards at the mansion. "There is an infestation of venomous snakes at mansion number 8. Bring sulfur, snake hooks, and rifles to deal with them, now! Also, bring some blood serum…" 'In case the worst-case scenario happens…' If Bianca was bitten by a venomous snake, she would need an injection of blood serum immediately.
Then, Luke gave a call to Sean Zander, the driver. Sean was a retired special forces soldier and a veteran outdoorsman. He would be able to deal with venomous snakes easily, but it was his day off, and he was not in the mansion at the moment.
When Sean received Luke's call, he instantly rushed to the mansion!
After Luke hung up, he also quickly rushed back.
Bianca's leg might have almost recovered, but she was not a very agile person. When Luke imagined the scene in which she was bitten by those snakes, sweat poured from his forehead.
He did not want to think of the possibility that her life was put in danger again.
She had just survived a near-fatal car crash, but fate seemed to be playing yet another cruel joke on her. Luke, who was usually calm and composed, wanted to blurt curses at that moment!
He floored the gas pedal and ran multiple red lights on his way back.
Meanwhile, at the mansion, Bianca ran as fast as she could. She was racing against her time and her life.
She had never been so flustered.
If she slowed down, the snakes would definitely catch up to her. With the baby still in her womb, she could not afford to let that happen.
"Help… help…"
Bianca cried for help while she ran until she remembered that the mansion was situated far away from the other mansions, and Luke had bought large swaths of the surrounding land. No one would be able to hear her.
The doctors, nurses, and nutritionists had already moved out of the mansion because she had almost recovered.
It was the driver's day off. One of the caretakers was back in her hometown to attend her son's wedding, while the other had gone downtown to buy food ingredients and other groceries.
The only people left in the mansion were Bianca and Uncle Vald, the gardener who had tended to the peonies earlier.
Bianca hoped that Uncle Vald would hear her cries of help.
As though her prayers were answered, just when Bianca could not run anymore, the gardener appeared with a pair of pliers in one hand and a halfeaten apple in his mouth.
"Madam…" Uncle Vald was shocked as he saw Bianca's face that was as pale as a ghost. "What's wrong?” He asked doubtfully.
"Snakes… snakes… help… Uncle Vald…" Bianca stammered as she tried to catch her breath.
The middle-aged gardener turned around and was shocked when he saw the mass of black snakes writhing toward them!
He had encountered many snakes in his almost twenty years of being a gardener, but he had never seen such ferocious and venomous snakes.
There was something weird about the snakes' behavior, as though something was agitating them. Undoubtedly, they were several times faster and more ferocious than normal snakes!
Wherever the snakes went, they would crush the leaves and vines under their bodies.
A swan was resting under the vines, stretching its elegant neck and preening its feathers. Before it could fly away, a snake pounced at it and bit its throat, instantly killing it.
The gardener almost wet his pants when he saw how venomous those snakes were!
How did those scary creatures get into the mansion?
In extreme fear, the gardener ran a lot faster than he was usually able to. However, he suddenly heard a pained grunt from behind him.
The gardener turned around and saw Bianca crouching next to a flower pot while clutching her stomach…
The intense running and the huge fright had caused Bianca's stomach to hurt intensely.
She was only about three hundred feet from the front door of the house, but she could not run anymore.
The snake in the lead was the biggest and strongest. It stealthily slid near Bianca, bared its fangs, and pounced at her calf…
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 534-Thank God That Luke Is Back...
In the nick of time, Bianca managed to scramble several steps forward to higher ground, and the snake did not spot her momentarily.
That was a close call!
How could such scary animals appear in the mansion?
Bianca's stomach hurt intensely, and her body was limp. She did not have the strength to run.
In front of the front door of the house was a flight of stairs. Every step was a struggle, but she could only force herself to move.
The snakes behind her continued to swarm at her. The biggest snake was almost going to reach her when Uncle Vald suddenly turned back and shouted, ’Madam!"
He noticed a children's wooden spade at the side. That was what Lanie and Rainie often used when they played in the garden. He summoned his courage, took the spade, and slammed it on the snake's head!
The spade was light, but Uncle Vald was strong. The snake was incensed by the pain and moved faster. It stuck out its tongue, bared its fang, and bit Uncle Vald!
The gardener disregarded his status, carried his female employer in his arms, and continued running toward the house.
Rushing through the front door, Uncle Vald kicked open the bedroom door and placed her inside.
Just when he was about to close the front door, he felt an intense pain in his calf. Holding back the pain and using his last ounce of strength, he slammed the door shut and blocked all the snakes outside!
"Madam, lock... lock the door. Don't... don't go out..." Uncle Vald felt his head spinning. He twitched and fell on the floor with a thud.
"Uncle Vald!" Bianca was almost scared to tears. She crouched and kept calling his name.
There was no use. Uncle Vald had already lost consciousness. He did not hear her calling his name.
Bianca rolled up Uncle Vald's pants. She noticed a bite mark on his calf.
The area around the bite mark was already swollen. It was obvious that the venom was taking effect.
Looking at the gardener's ghastly pale face, Bianca felt both guilty and grateful. If Uncle Vald had not saved her in the nick of time, she would be the one bitten by the snake.
It was not the time to wallow in sorrow. She had to find the blood serum to save Uncle Vald's life.
Disregarding the pain in her stomach, she dragged herself upstairs and went to the room next to the study.
The room had a stock of medicinal supplies, though most of them were non-prescription drugs, such as flu medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, and all sorts of pills and ointments.
Bianca remembered that there should be blood serums and other solutions meant for injections.
The mansion was located on a hill and surrounded by a dense forest. There were insects, spiders, and even snakes, but most of them were not venomous. The mansion also had strict measures against insects and other creepy-crawlies, and blood serum would rarely be needed.
Even so, they had a stock of blood serum just in case.
Usually, one would be flustered whenever they were in a hurry.
The more you want to find something, that thing would disappear without a trace. When you were not looking for it, you would find it right in front of your face.
That was exactly what happened to Bianca at the moment. She searched the drawers and cabinets and found all sorts of other medicines except for the blood serum.
When she thought that Uncle Vald’s life was slipping away every passing second, cold sweat poured down her face.
She suddenly remembered that Luke had told her in the video call that the rifles and tranquilizer darts were in a hidden compartment in a drawer. Would the blood serum be stored in the same place?
Bianca opened a drawer in a cabinet. She almost pulled the entire drawer out when she noticed a hunting rifle, a bottle of tranquilizer, two small vials of blood serum, several single-use syringes, and a large bag of sulfur.
She breathed a sigh of relief, took all the items in her hands, and rushed downstairs.
The banging on the door was intense.
That gave Bianca a big fright. She did not expect that the snakes were so unrelenting that they were slamming at the door with their bodies!
Usually, snakes would not attack humans unless they were threatened. However, those snakes seemed like they were out for blood. It was unbelievable!
She did not have time to think about the reasons. Uncle Vald's face was already turning purple and black. He was almost not going to make it.
Trying to keep herself composed, her trembling hands opened the syringe packaging, inserted the needle, and pushed out the air. She tried to remember how the nurse had given her injections, found a vein on Uncle Vald's arm, and tried to give him an injection.
It was her first time giving an injection, and her hands were trembling. It took her several times to insert the needle into the vein.
She breathed a sigh of relief and gently injected the serum into Uncle Vald's vein...
Her face became paler and paler as the banging sounds on the front door became more and more intense. She could tell that more than one snake was slamming its body at the door; one snake alone would not have made so much noise.
It was the first time that she felt so helpless.
Bianca poured a thick ring of sulfur around Uncle Vald and her. She read that snakes feared sulfur, but there was no scientific evidence behind it.
She had no other choice anyway. She emptied the entire bag of sulfur around them.
Then, she took the hunting rifle in her right hand, the tranquilizer darts in her left hand, and transfixed her gaze on the front door.
The door was electronically locked and was very sturdy. The snakes would not be able to break it down.
Some snakes were quite intelligent. Seeing that they could not break down the door, they slithered to the floor-to-ceiling window and started battering it with their bloody bodies.
Bianca was shocked when she saw that. Were those snakes or monsters?
It would be very dangerous if the window was made of normal glass.
Fortunately, Luke had the foresight to make the windows out of bulletproof glass. The window did not move, no matter how the snakes slammed their bodies at it.
However, the snakes seemed to have lost their minds. They continued slamming at the windows even though their bodies were already battered and bloody.
Sitting on the carpet, Bianca hugged her knees and shivered. What if the snakes managed to get into the house?
Suddenly, she heard hasty footsteps at the entrance to the mansion. Then, she heard the sound of gunshots and a familiar male voice calling her name. Instantly, tears rolled down her cheeks.
'Thank God, Luke is back...’
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 535- That's Very Scary, OK?
"Bianca!” Outside the house, Luke roared hysterically.
At that moment, Luke was worried and furious.
He fired at the snakes with his hunting rifle as though he had lost his mind.
As he pulled the trigger, he called out Bianca's name.
When Bianca heard Luke's voice, she scrambled over to the window and thumped at the glass. "I'm fine, Luke. There are many venomous snakes outside. Please be careful..."
She tried to suppress her fear when she saw Luke's bloodshot eyes and his almost maniacal demeanor.
He seemed to be more scared of the snakes than her.
She felt relieved when she saw him.
Luke also felt relieved when he saw that Bianca was safe inside the house.
An unknown amount of time passed before the electronic door opened and Luke rushed in. He hugged Bianca with trembling arms. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
He had almost lost her again.
"It's not your fault. You don't have to blame yourself." Bianca slumped in his embrace, grateful that she had survived the ordeal.
Luke hugged her so tightly, as though he wanted her body to fuse into his!
Bianca suddenly remembered that Uncle Vald was still unconscious. She pushed herself out of Luke's embrace, walked to Uncle Vald, and said guiltily. "Uncle Vald saved me from the snakes, and he got bitten himself. It's all thanks to him that I'm safe. I've already injected a vial of blood serum, but I don't know if it's of any use. He wouldn't be like this if not for me. How should we help him?"
Suddenly, fear caught up to her, and tears started to fall. "We've stayed here for so long, and we rarely see even bugs. Why would there be so many venomous snakes at once?"
Bianca had become more emotional after she was pregnant.
Luke frowned and said, "I'll investigate this and find out the reason why. You and Uncle Vald are victims. I'm grateful that Uncle Vald saved you. He'll be fine. After he wakes up, I'll give him a handsome reward. Don't think too much."
Outside, police sirens could be heard.
Bianca could feel painful cramps in her stomach again. Her vision was turning black from the pain.
Amid the commotion outside, two people came into the house.
"Boss..." Sean and Jason ran into the room.
Their faces turned pale at the instant they saw Uncle Vald lying unconscious on the floor and Bianca lying weakly in Luke's arms.
"Are Madam and Uncle Vald okay?" Sean asked guiltily.
Were they too late?
"Uncle Vald was bitten by a venomous snake. He received an injection of blood serum. Send him to the hospital immediately," Luke ordered coldly.
Bianca pressed her stomach. She bit her lip to stop herself from making a sound.
However, she eventually grunted in pain. "Luke... my stomach... hurts..."
Amid the pain, she could feel something warm flowing between her legs.
Her instincts told her that her baby was in danger. She had protected the baby thus far, and she was not going to let anything happen to it!
"Bianca!"
Before she lost consciousness, she could vaguely hear Luke screaming in fear and agony. Soon, she could not hear anything.
"D*mn it! Why isn't the ambulance here yet?" Luke carried Bianca and ran outside.
Sean carried the unconscious Uncle Vald on her back and quickly followed behind...
Several police cars were parked around the mansion, and a dozen police were busy at work.
A dozen dead snakes drenched in their own blood were arranged in a row. It was an unnerving sight.
Luke glared at those snakes with a sinister gaze!
The police sergeant walked up to him fawningly, but he took a step back when he saw Luke's icy gaze. "Mr. Crawford." "You should know what to do, Sergeant Showles." Luke's voice was frigid.
"Don't worry. We'll definitely find out who the perpetrator is. The perpetrator is quite crafty. He managed to disable the cameras surrounding the mansion. This will take some time..." Sergeant Showles kneaded his hands and braced himself against Luke's overbearing demeanor.
There were dozens of security cameras surrounding the mansion, but the closest ones to the entrance were all disabled.
"All the cameras were disabled? What are we paying all of you for?" Jason glanced at the security guards.
The security guards lowered their heads in embarrassment. They could not be blamed because the criminal was too skillful.
"Bring all these snakes for an autopsy. I want to know the results as soon as possible! Check all the cameras. I don't believe that they didn't leave a trace!" "Yes, Mr. Crawford." The usually imposing police sergeant behaved timidly in front of Luke.
Bianca and Uncle Vald were sent to the hospital, and Luke followed along.
Jason and the police officers were around collecting evidence and statements.
Sean stayed to review the security footage.
At the hospital.
Johann thought that he was a very unlucky man. Earlier, an eccentric young woman had hit him with her car and broke his leg. After a month of rest, before he regained full functionality of his leg, his best friend had dragged him out of the bed and forced him to save Bianca's baby.
His bad mood was made worse by Luke’s horrible attitude. He said that he was not able to go because his leg had not fully recovered yet.
After that, Luke threatened him that he would break his other leg, and Johann could live the rest of his life in a wheelchair!
Instantly, he jumped out of bed, rushed to Bianca's ward, and gave his assurance that the baby would definitely be safe.
'Can you not threaten me willy-nilly? It's very scary!' He thought.
Johann knew that Luke was a man on his word. Luke would do anything when he was desperate.
'Sigh! A man in love acts just like an idiot!'
Outside of the ward, the man stood there smoking cigarette after cigarette, ignoring the no-smoking sign on the wall.
His brows were tightly furrowed, but that did not affect his impeccably cold features.
"Boss." Jason came to Luke's side and nervously handed him a report." The results of the autopsy are out. The snakes went berserk because they inhaled a certain hallucinogenic drug, and the drug was mixed in the pesticide that was sprayed on the peony plants..."
Luke was shocked. He remembered that Bianca was complaining to him earlier that the peonies did not look too healthy, but they seemed to recover after the gardener sprayed the pesticide.
His pupils constricted, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips." Investigate the pesticide supplier. Find him no matter what it takes!"
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 536- Luke’s Hostility Grew!
Luke thought that he had seen the same trick before.
He remembered the berserk Persian cat when they were in Blue Honors.
Both incidents were very similar, and he could not help but feel suspicious.
"Boss, these snakes aren't native to the country. Someone must have smuggled them in through the black market," Jason analyzed calmly.
Luke narrowed his eyes, and a cold smile appeared on his face. "Contact Percy Mallory and ask him for his help. He should be able to find the source of the snakes and the details of the transaction."
He could roughly guess who the mastermind was, but he did not have solid evidence yet.
Once he could confirm that the mastermind was the same person in his mind, he would not spare them any mercy!
The media reported heavily on the news about the appearance of venomous snakes in La Fontaine Mansions.
La Fontaine Mansions was a development project under T Corporation. It was an elite low-density neighborhood, and each of the mansions cost tens of millions of dollars. The house owners became fearful after they knew about the incident.
Certain media outlets were bribed to report negatively on the incident. They criticized that most of T Corporation's development projects were nothing but low-quality cash-grabs, and Luke Crawford was the most unscrupulous developer in all of A City. They drew parallels between the arson case at
Greenview Regalia and the incident of the venomous snakes at La Fontaine Mansions, criticizing that T Corporation did not show any concern toward the safety of the homeowners.
The media also caught on to the fact that Luke had harbored a woman in La Fontaine Mansions, and they reported widely on Bianca's hospitalization.
Luke Crawford had been in the limelight lately. He had often appeared in the news thanks to the engagement ceremonies with Bianca Rayne and Leia Norman. In addition to that, the trial for the arson case was starting soon, and now another major incident happened in another project of T Corporation...
The media snapped onto those shocking incidents.
After receiving negative press from the media, T Corporation's share prices which had begun to stabilize started to drop again.
Media reporters flocked to the hospital Bianca was in, eager to unearth more information about T Corporation and Luke's personal life.
The reporters surrounded Luke in the ward. He focused all his attention on the unconscious Bianca, and he was extremely irritated by the distractions.
He turned around and addressed the reporters. "All those so-called exposes are nothing but lies. Someone has released the snakes in the mansion in a murder attempt. When the investigation is done, I will give everyone a satisfactory explanation. Anyone who makes up stories will find their companies shuttered!"
Luke's vicious words and his icy demeanor intimidated the reporters. Some media outlets stopped reporting on the incident, but others who were not scared continued to report on it.
At the moment, Luke was in a horrible mood.
Bianca had a weak constitution. Adding that to the fright she suffered from the snakes, the baby was at a huge risk of miscarriage. Even Johann had to be extremely careful when saving the baby.
His woman's condition was not optimistic, and the reporters were buzzing around like flies. That contributed to Luke's bad mood.
Once he lost his temper, he instantly shut down the media outlets that continued to spew nonsense.
The other media outlets knew that Luke meant what he said, and his patience had already been worn out. After weighing the pros and cons, they instantly recalled their reporters in case they were caught up in his rampage.
After all, Luke was not one to play dirty. If he wanted you bankrupt, not only would he bankrupt you, but he would also saddle you with huge debts.
Luke was a scary individual, and no one dared to cross him.
Previously, any gossip on Luke only served to entertain the masses.
However, when the rumors involved Bianca, he was not going to tolerate it.
After his threat, all the reporters disappeared from the hospital. The hospital was once again peaceful.
Jason and Sean investigated the black market and the pesticide supplier respectively.
Transactions in the black market should have been clandestine. However, Percy controlled the black market, and he turned the other way because he was good friends with Luke. Soon, useful information was found.
The person who bought the black mambas was a man named Gregor Jones. On the surface, he was a hooligan who survived on extorting small businesses. However, he was discovered to have a hidden identity.
He was a special forces soldier who served in the southeastern region of the country. After he left the army, he joined an international mercenary organization.
Most intriguingly, his direct superior was Wayne Blatt.
Gregor Jones had bought the venomous snakes from the black market.
They ran into some obstacles when they hunted down the pesticide supplier. Uncle Vald had been unconscious, and it took two days before the identity and whereabouts of the pesticide supplier were found.
However, the pesticide supplier seemed to have disappeared from A City. There were no traces of him anywhere.
They could not trace his movements, except that he had checked into a luxury hotel three days ago.
If they could not track him down, it meant that the pesticide supplier had used a fake identity or that someone was harboring him somewhere.
A man could not have disappeared like a magic trick.
In the hospital ward.
Luke had been racking his brain over the mystery. His gaze was downcast, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Johann replaced Bianca's intravenous drip. He glanced at Bianca's peaceful sleeping face, then at Luke's serious expression, and shook his head.
"Bro, the baby is safe now. Don't worry," he said jokingly, "I say, don't frown so much when you're still so young. It's a big waste of your handsome face! Do you want to look like a fifty-year-old when you’re not even thirty?"
Luke shot an icy glance at him. Johann chuckled and shifted the topic. "I'm just joking. You don't have to be too serious about it. I say, Sis is so gentle and kind, so which b*stard would be so brazen to harm her? I wonder why they spend so much effort to assassinate her with snakes when a bullet could've done the same thing."
Johann could not figure out why the perpetrator would use such a convoluted method.
Luke spoke coldly, "Assassinating someone with conventional means would easily arouse suspicion. As long as they are careful, snakes can be treated as an accident. Moreover, the mastermind would be able to capitalize on the 'accident' and take down T Corporation in one fell swoop."
However, the perpetrator did not consider that snakes were mere beasts with limited mental capacity. That was why Bianca was able to survive the ordeal.
Bianca was lucky to escape death, but she could not rely on luck all the time.
Luke held Bianca's cold hand and placed it on his palm. He was experiencing a mixture of emotions: Pity, love, and guilt.
His phone rang.
Luke answered it. "Did you find anything?"
Johann could not hear what the other end said, but he could feel Luke's hostility growing, like a spider weaving its web, or like a demon emerging from hell. He could not help but shudder!
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 537-Teaching Leia A Lesson!
Looking at Luke's expression, one could tell that the identity of the mastermind was exactly the person that was on his mind.
Luke's handsome face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of ice. A silent storm was brewing in his eyes.
'All those accidents that befell Bianca!
'To think that she was so close to me!
'This is such a horrible feeling!’ Luke carefully tucked Bianca into the blanket. He gazed upon her pale face, and he was awash with guilt.
He had promised Bianca safety and happiness, but he seemed to have failed. Bianca had suffered multiple times when she was with him.
Luke's anger flared in his eyes when he thought of how the snakes had almost bitten her and the bright red blood that flowed from between her legs. Even his fingertips were trembling from anger.
He would not forgive the person who had harmed his woman, no matter how powerful that person's background might be!
A long while later, Luke turned around and ordered Johann, "Take care of your Sis."
Johann had an ominous feeling. "Where are you going, Bro?" "I'm going to deal with the criminal." Those icy words that left Luke's mouth made Johann shiver.
In the VIP hospital ward.
Leia watched the television while happily munching on the apple that Linda, her agent, had peeled for her.
There were too many scandals about her lately. Linder Linda's advice, Leia played the victim by staying in the hospital. Once in a while, she would tell the media reporters how she was suffering in the hospital.
Actually, she quite enjoyed the relaxing life.
Queenie wanted to bring Leia home to recuperate. However, whenever she mentioned it to her daughter, Leia seemed to sink into despair. Queenie was worried for her daughter and stopped mentioning it.
Queenie thought that Leia's attitude had changed a lot. She thought that her daughter seemed depressed, but she attributed it to the botched engagement ceremony.
She rarely went to her company and instead spent more time at the hospital with her daughter, fearing that her daughter would do something stupid again.
That morning, Queenie went to the company to handle some urgent matters.
Only Linda was in the ward accompanying Leia.
Leia watched the news reports on the television: Bianca was injured in a snake attack. T Corporation's share prices were dropping because of the incident at one of their development projects.
She seemed calm and composed, but she was actually laughing up her sleeve.
Happily, she thought that even if Bianca did not die from the snake attack, the baby in her womb would be gone for sure.
While she was chatting with her agent, the door was suddenly kicked open!
Several well-built men in black suits and shades barged into the ward.
"Hey! Who are you guys? What do you want? Don't you know that this is the daughter of the Provincial Committee Secretary, you…" Linda was yelling until one of the men unsheathed a dagger, which instantly shut her up.
"Shut your mouth if you want to live!" The man spoke impatiently. He pointed the dagger at Leia and said coldly, "Follow us!"
Instantly, Linda wanted to call the police, but one of the men in black knocked her out. She fell limply on the floor!
It was the first time Leia had encountered such a situation. Needless to say, she was very afraid.
She had acted in thriller movies in which she was an abductee, but she had never encountered it in real life…
She had always presented her docile side in public. Who could have borne a grudge against her? novelbin Looking at Linda slumped on the floor, Leia wanted to discreetly call her parents on her phone. Just when she was about to open her mouth, she felt a blunt pain on the back of her head, after which she lost consciousness.
The men acted very swiftly, and there were not many patients on the second floor of the VIP wing. When the nurses discovered that Linda was unconscious and Leia was missing, they shrieked for help. However, they could only see the clouds of exhaust as the car drove away, and not even the car's model or plate…
Leia was woken up by a splash of cold water.
She looked around her and found that she was in an abandoned factory. Surrounding her was rusted scaffolding and machinery and nothing else. Even the windows and doors were rusted.
The wind came in through the precarious windows, and the rusted scaffolding creaked. It was like a scene in a horror movie.
Goosebumps formed on her skin.
She recalled that she had been knocked out in the hospital. She wanted to stand up, but it was then when she realized that her hands and feet were bound by rope.
She began to be afraid. She tried to struggle out of her bonds when someone kicked her. "You'd better behave!"
Leia glared at the man who dared to kick her. She wanted to remember his face.
Ever since she had become Ms. Norman, no one even dared to yell at her, much less beat her!
The man wore shades, and she could only discern his figure and silhouette. Leia was resentful forthat.
She began to waver after looking at several of those men.
The men were especially muscular and well-built. Not even the suits could conceal their muscles.
Leia became more confused than ever…
Suddenly, the door opened, and the orange sunlight shone through. She narrowed her eyes reflexively. In the next second, she saw a magnificent masculine figure descend upon her like a god.
He towered over her and looked down at her cowering figure.
Leia was shocked when she saw Luke appear before her. When she came to her senses, she became delighted.
Color returned to her haggard face. "Luke, are… are you here to save me?" 1 An icy smile appeared on Luke's face. It was as chilling as a devil. "I haven’t seen you in a few days, Ms. Norman. You seem to be healthy."
Leia started crying as though she had forgotten that she was being abducted. ‘I've been suffering for the past few days, Luke. I love you so much, so why did you call off the engagement? Am I not good enough for you? I've been hoping every day that you'll come and visit me, and now God has answered my prayers. You still miss me, right?"
Luke chuckled coldly. ’This woman is delusional! She has lost her mind!' He slowly leaned over and pinched Leia's chin with his slender fingers as though intending to crush her lower jaw.
The man's icy voice escaped from his sexy lips and entered Leia's ears. “ Am I here to save you? Do you think you deserve to be saved, you evil witch?"
The man in black standing next to him handed him a wet wipe.
Luke took it and carefully cleaned the hand that he used to touch Leia. He frowned disgustedly, then carelessly tossed the wet wipe into a trash can nearby.
"You…" Leia was panicking. She did not know what he wanted.
Luke glared at her coldly and smiled maliciously. "Ms. Norman, I remember telling you that you should stay away from my woman, hmm?" 1 "What?" Leia pretended to be oblivious. She tried to avert his gaze. "Luke… what are you saying? I don't understand.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 538-Taste Of Your Own Medicine!
Suddenly, a sharp dagger was held to Leia's delicate cheek.
She grabbed the corner of her clothes in a panic. She was terrified!
Leia pushed down her fear, stammering, "Luke... Luke, what are you doing? Knives are... too dangerous... Can you please... Please keep it away from me..." novelbin
The man in front of her was still handsome and absolutely incomparable, but the look on his face when he looked at her reflected hate and disgust.
Leia's vision was blurry now. She felt like her chest had been pierced by a needle, causing her intense pain!
Luke hated her.
That was unacceptable to her.
She could tolerate Luke's indifferent attitude, but not his hatred and dislike.
"I didn't think you'd know fear, Ms. Norman. I thought you were fearless? When you publicly attempted suicide in front of the media, why didn't you cut a little deeper? You disgust me! Leia, for Mr. Norman's sake, I chose to close one eye to your previous evil deeds, but I didn't expect that you would dare attack Bianca again and again. Do you value your life?!"
The thin dagger pressed against her face and Leia moved slightly, feeling a fiery pain on her face.
She was so scared she dared not move. She was afraid that her beautiful face would be ruined if she did!
"Luke, I don’t know what you're talking about! Although Ms. Rayne and I are love rivals, I know you love her more than life itself. I didn't do anything to her. At most... I just tried to trigger her with words. Whatever happened to Ms. Rayne has nothing to do with me..." Although Leia was shaking like a leaf, she insisted that she was innocent.
If she kept her mouth shut and insisted that what had happened to Bianca had nothing to do with her, Luke would let her go out of respect for her parents and would not go too far.
However, if she admitted to it, Luke's hateful personality would not allow her to get away in one piece.
Luke sneered and rebuked, "You still don't want to admit to what you did?
Leia, you hired someone to release dozens of venomous snakes in La Fontaine Mansions!"
With a quick slice of the dagger, Leia's long hair was cut in half.
Her cut hair scattered on her face, chest, and thighs. It made her scream with everything she had!
She was afraid that her beauty would be ruined in a blink of an eye.
"It wasn't me, Luke, I swear it wasn't me! If you don't have any evidence, please don’t accuse me of anything! I don't know where La Fontaine Mansions is. I don't know anything about snakes... Please, I don't know anything...” Leia was a natural actress and could easily control her emotions. 1
Although she was trembling with fear, she still did not forget to act and desperately justified her guilt.
However, her evil and lying face disgusted Luke!
"Do you think I would’ve brought you here if I didn’t have proof?" Luke threw a thick pile of photos at Leia.
Some of the photos fell one by one on the uneven concrete floor.
When Leia saw those photos, her eyes widened in shock!
The photos showed the farmers getting caught by the police, Wayne Blatt getting something to execute the plan of releasing poisonous snakes to scare Bianca almost to death, and there were also... indecent photos of her and Wayne!
"I didn't expect you to be such a licentious woman, Ms. Norman. On the surface, you look and act like a noble lady, but you're so promiscuous in private. What do you think if I were to send these photos of the two of you in bed to the media? Ms. Norman, you’re very charming. You even managed to get Wayne Blatt to kiss your shoestrings. The well-known playboy of A City is willing to take orders from you to harm others. If your adoptive parents know that they have such a cruel daughter, what would they think? Would they be proud of you?" Luke’s smile carried a hint of sarcasm and coldness. 1
Leia was completely dumbfounded.
'How could this be? Wayne has always been reliable. He makes sure to never leave any evidence. How could Luke have found out about this in such a short amount of time?'
Also, Luke found pictures of her and Wayne!
If the photos were published, her acting career would be destroyed!
Ten years ago, there was a sex scandal involving multiple celebrities that turned into national news.
That incident almost wiped out the top-notch female celebrities in Hollywood, exposing the wild private lives of the popular stars. The innocent ladies fell from heaven straight into hell.
The careers of those actresses plummeted and they never got to step foot into Hollywood again...
Even though it had happened ten years ago, the scandal was still talked about by netizens.
Whenever the names of the female celebrities involved were mentioned, the reactions were of disdain, mockery, and disgust.
Many of the celebrities whose indecent photos were exposed had been building their careers through film and music throughout the years. Even then, it was difficult for them to regain their status.
Leia had only been in the entertainment industry for a short while and she had yet to establish a solid position for herself in the industry. If these scandalous high-definition photos of her were released, all the glory and applause that belonged to her now would be no more. Her acting career would be destroyed. She would no longer be able to marry rich like she had always planned.
No rich man would marry a notorious woman, not even if her adoptive father was Jack Norman, the Provincial Committee Secretary.
Leia immediately panicked! She cried and begged Luke, "Luke, I... I didn’t do it on purpose... I got jealous. I love you so much but you don't even care about me. I just wanted to scare Bianca... I never thought of killing her, really... Please spare me this time, I'll do anything for you. I swear I won’t do it again..." "You won't do it again?"
Luke sneered as he said, "Do you think I’ll believe in your nonsense? Do you think that I don't know that you were behind the Persian cat incident? Or the time you drove your car into Bianca and almost caused her to have a miscarriage?
"I wanted to kill you then, but for your father's sake and to gain good karma for our unborn child, I chose to close an eye. I thought that if I didn’t react to you, you would stop, but I didn't expect that you would be such a vicious woman. You became worse and tried to murder Bianca again! Since you're asking for it, then I will fulfill your death wish! You like venomous snakes, don't you? Time for a taste of your own medicine!"
Luke had a chilly expression on his face as he motioned to the men in black suits. They walked toward Leia, carrying sacks.
Leia was not sure what was in the woven bags. Whatever was inside them was squirming, giving her chills.
Leia was panicking and had a terrible feeling about what was about to happen to her. Just when she was about to open her mouth, the men opened the sacks and poured the contents onto Leia's head...
Snakes!
"Ah! Ah!" Leia screamed in horror. She struggled as though she was trying to break through the roof of the abandoned factory.
Countless snakes of varying colors and types wrapped themselves around Leia's neck, arms, and thighs. She broke into tears! She rolled her eyes and was about to faint...
One of the men opened Leia's mouth forcibly and made her swallow a white pill.
The pill melted on her tongue and Leia turned speechless. She was in despair when she found out that the pill gave her an endless rush of adrenaline. It would be impossible for her to pass out...
Leia was horrified! Tears streamed down her face as her gaze fell on the man who was leaving... 1
Luke Crawford was a cruel man!
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 539-That B*tch Got What She Deserves!
Hospital. novelbin
Bianca was thinking about how she had been stuck in the hospital for a while...
She had just recovered from her leg injury from the car accident. Shortly after, she was attacked by poisonous snakes, which almost caused her to have a miscarriage.
She had been with Luke for so long that she noticed a pattern. Every time she was in danger, it was indirectly or directly related to him.
"Bea, are you and the CEO incompatible? Before you got together with him, you lived a carefree life. You were safe and were rarely sick. However, after the two of you got together, you were scratched by a cat, hit by a car, and this time, you were bitten by a poisonous snake... Oh my God, why are bad things happening to you?!" Nina passed the fruit puree into Bianca's hands. She could not believe it! 1 "I think so too." Sue waddled over and handed Bianca an outdated magazine. "Look, since you got together with the CEO, you've been the star of the news a couple of times now. The number of times you're featured is comparable to a superstar. I think it's right to say that you should cherish your life and stay away from Mr. Crawford."
Bianca was speechless.
Couples around her had a smooth sailing journey when it came to their relationships. However, for her, falling in love had almost caused her to lose her life...
Several days had passed since she encountered the poisonous snakes but Bianca would still be woken up by terrifying nightmares every once in a while. She would dream that the poisonous snakes were about to bite her!
The snakes bit her all over and were dripping with her blood. She felt terrified thinking about it.
Bianca had always been afraid of snakes and was deeply traumatized by what had happened. She knew that it would take a while for her to get over her nightmares.
After she listened to her friend's kind advice, she smiled and placed their words at the back of her mind. "I've known Luke for years. Our relationship is not something you can understand. This is what love is, it won't always be sweet. There are some tough times too. I can enjoy the warmth that our love brings, and at the same time, I will also bear with the dangers that come with it."
Sue chuckled while stroking her belly. "Forget it. No matter how much we try to persuade you, you've already made up your mind to be with Mr. Crawford forever. Bea, you're lucky to have met such a gentle and considerate person like Mr. Crawford. Not only is he rich and handsome, but he also only has eyes for you. Hmm... It would be nice if you didn't have to go through so much."
Nina smiled and said, "Nothing in life is as you planned it to be. However, the people who did this to Bea are horrible! How dare they be so vicious to a pregnant woman?! I hope Mr. Crawford can find out who did this as soon as possible. This shall not go unpunished! They would pay for all their sins!"
That made Sue smile, and even Bianca laughed rather helplessly.
Nina was such an honest person, but she became a potty mouth when she got agitated.
Bianca said, "I want to go for a walk outside. I feel like I’m trapped in the ward. Sue, Nina, shall we go get some fresh air?" "Let's go!" Nina was the first to respond. She, too, was not a fan of the smell of sanitizers. "Bea, do you want to use a wheelchair? I'll help you."
She was worried about Bianca's recent leg injury and her fragile body due to her near-miscarriage incident.
Bianca shook her head and said, "It's okay. My legs have almost recovered. The/re no different from before. The doctor said that I can't stay in bed all the time and I should go for more walks to breathe in some fresh air. It’s good for me and our baby."
As soon as the baby was mentioned, Sue started to rant, "Yes, pregnant women like us need to stay active. Your baby is five months old, right?
Mine is seven months, and I'm so tired of being pregnant every day! My arms and legs are swollen! Being a mother is not as easy as I thought. I swear that I won't have another baby after this one!"
Nina covered her mouth and chuckled. "Sue, if you find it troublesome, you can give me one baby. I love babies!"
Sue rolled her eyes and said, "Although I dislike the suffering my twins are bringing me, I love them very much. I would never give either one of them to you! If you want a child, find a man!"
What Sue had said made things awkward. Nina's expression turned pained.
Sue was still in a blur but noticed that Nina was unhappy. She asked stupidly, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Bianca knew that Sue's words had hurt Nina and poked at an old wound.
After she adjusted her clothing, Bianca got down from the bed. She smiled and grabbed Nina's arm before walking out. "Let's go outside and relax."
The environment outside was particularly nice with 80% of their view covered with lush greens. The air was fresh too. Bianca had been stuck in the ward for a long time and this was the first time since she got hospitalized that she was heading out to relax with her two friends. They talked about their work and life. It helped her lighten the load on her mind.
When they passed by another ward, they saw a police cordon. Many police officers with guns were on duty as well.
Everyone who entered and exited the building was strictly checked before they could be registered.
Bianca froze, wondering what had happened in the hospital. Why were there so many police officers?
What happened?!
She glanced at Sue curiously. Nina had gone to gossip, talking to the passersby who were watching nearby before hurrying back.
"Hey, guess what I just found out?'1 Nina cheekily said to Bianca and Sue.
"What's happening? Why are you acting so mysterious?" Sue was not the most patient person.
"Come here, I have good news..."
Nina grabbed Sue's hand and formed a small circle together with Bianca.
Nina whispered and excitedly said, "I heard that Mr. Norman's daughter was kidnapped! Hahaha, Leia has done so many terrible deeds. That b*tch got what she deserves!"
Bianca was shocked.
She did not expect that Leia would be in the same hospital as her. She did not expect that Leia would have been kidnapped from the hospital either.
This hospital was one of the best in A City, and there were a lot of patients here every day.
She was impressed with the person who kidnapped her. That person had kidnapped her in plain sight!
Suddenly, Bianca recalled something. When she was falling asleep the previous night, she had heard Luke say, "Deal with the murderer!"
Suddenly, Bianca had a terrible feeling!
Was Luke the person behind Leia's kidnapping?!
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 540- The Plan Had Failed...
Just as Bianca wondered if Luke was the one behind Leia's kidnapping...
Suddenly, a domineering female voice disturbed her thoughts. "I don't care about what you have to do, you have to find a matching bone marrow! The doctor said that Shane might not survive if he doesn't get a bone marrow transplant soon. He's my darling boy and your only son. I will never allow this to happen!"
Her partner comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, I'll find a suitable donor."
The man's voice sounded familiar, and Bianca looked at the source in surprise.
At the end of the hospital corridor, Bianca saw Jay's special assistant, Jason Doyle. He was talking to a beautiful but aggressive woman. 2
The woman looked like she was in her early 30s. It could be seen that she took care of her appearance and had a graceful figure. She wore a priceless jade necklace around her neck. Anyone could tell that she was wealthy, but her aggressive attitude did not give others a good impression.
Jason noticed Bianca and the others.
There was a subtle change in his expression when he saw Sue.
Jason smiled awkwardly at them and went over to say hello, "Ms. Rayne, what a coincidence! Let me introduce you to my ex-wife, Bailey Quarrington."
He pointed at Bianca and the others, introducing them to the woman next to him, "Bailey, this is my boss' fiancee, Bianca. These are my colleagues, Sue Carter and Nina Langdon." "I'm not interested!
Jason, find a suitable bone marrow for Shane within one month. Otherwise, get ready to write his eulogy!" Bailey glanced at Bianca and looked extremely arrogant.
She did not even bother to say hello to them. She left with her high heels clicking against the floor toward the outpatient building.
Bianca did not expect Jason's ex-wife to be so temperamental. However, she was just a passing stranger so Bianca was not too worried about it.
Nina was pretty carefree so she did not mind Bailey's attitude.
Sue was excited when she first saw Jason, but when she met Bailey, her heart instantly dropped.
She could not help but go into overthinking mode. It turned out that Mr. Doyle's ex-wife was so defiant... He was nothing in front of his ex-wife. Could this have been the reason for their divorce?
Jason looked at Bailey and felt helpless. He touched his gold-rimmed glasses. He was embarrassed and said, "I apologize for my ex-wife. She has always had a bad temper, please forgive her." "It's okay," Bianca said casually and then asked curiously, "Mr. Doyle, I overheard that your son needs a bone marrow transplant. Is he sick?"
Sue’s eyelids twitched, and she pretended to tease Jason in an indifferent tone, "Mr. Doyle, you're so secretive! We’ve worked together for so many years but I never heard you mention your son.”
When Sue heard that Jason had a son, she felt a little uncomfortable and could not tell why.
Maybe it was because she felt grateful for his help when she had run into her scumbag ex in a children's clothing store the previous time. It was also at that time that she quietly started to develop an inexplicable and unclear affection toward him.
After that day, Sue no longer treated him coldly in the company but treated him with courtesy instead.
As she got closer to Jason, Sue thought that he was mature and funny. She found him really charming.
Jason seemed to be taking good care of Sue as well. In addition to taking extra care of her at work, they also went out during non-working hours. He often invited her for meals, went out on walks with her, brought her shopping after getting off work, and others of the like. They were like a real couple.
Although the two did not talk about it, they understood what they meant to the other.
Sue had thought that their relationship was going somewhere.
However, the moment she learned that Jason had a son, she felt like she was struck by lightning. The budding love that just sprouted in her heart quickly died.
However, Sue held it together. She had a smile on her face as usual, but it was a superficial smile.
Jason, who knew Sue well, knew that she was upset.
He looked at Sue's bright face and was hesitant to speak.
He knew that it was not the time to open up and be honest. In the end, he sighed without giving her too much of an explanation.
Nina was daft and did not notice the awkwardness between them. She jokingly said to Jason, "Mr. Doyle, the female employees of our company think you're a bachelor. I didn't expect that you would have a son, that's amazing! How old is he?"
Jason smiled bitterly. "When I divorced Bailey five years ago, I didn't know that she was pregnant. She was bitter about the divorce so she hid it from me. I only found out recently that I have a son. Shane is four years old, but he has been suffering from leukemia since a young age. He desperately needs a bone marrow transplant. If it weren’t for him being hospitalized, Bailey would not have told me about him..."
The three women kept silent for a while. They did not know how to comfort Jason.
Although medical technology had advanced a lot, leukemia was still an incurable disease.
It was difficult to find a suitable donor for this disease. Even if a patient found a suitable bone marrow, there were still countless instances of the patient dying from the disease due to various complications after a successful surgery.
Bianca coughed and asked cautiously, "Mr. Doyle, can we meet your son?"
Jason shook his head. "Shane is now in a hospital in B City. Bailey heard that Dr. Luis at Paramount Hospital in A City is good at treating leukemia in kids, so she wanted to transfer Shane here. We just met Dr. Luis to discuss the procedures. In the afternoon, I'll go to B City to pick Shane up."
Bianca let out a sound of response and continued to comfort him, saying," Mr. Doyle, don't worry about it. There’ll be a way. You’ll definitely find a suitable bone marrow for Shane." "Yeah, I will," Jason said confidently.
Until now, he was still in shock. He could not believe that he had a four-year -old son.
He had gone through the initial shock, loss, and helplessness to the current excitement, joy, and sadness. Jason glanced at Sue with a complicated expression on his face and felt guilty once more. He felt that he might have disappointed Sue.
Sue bit her lip, her long eyelashes concealing her sad expression. She gently stroked her belly. She was going to give birth in two months.
It was no big deal. She was not alone, she had two babies.
Embroidery shop.
Shakira Neile had become fascinated with cross-stitching recently. She went to a well-known embroidery shop called Heavenly Stitch. She planned on choosing an embroidery piece to bring home. She would give them to her husband to celebrate his promotion after she was done embroidering them.
After carefully browsing, Shakira chose her piece and went to pay.
As soon as she walked out of the embroidery shop, she looked at a remote corner. Allison Tanner seemed to be arguing with a woman whom she did not have a good view of...
Due to the distance, Shakira could not hear the specifics of what they were arguing about. She only heard Allison scream, "Why did you return to this country?!
"That child is still alive... If people find out about this, things won't look good for you!"
It was all threats.
Shakira frowned.
Due to Queenie Zeigler, she did not have much contact with Allison. To be honest, she rarely saw Allison losing control like that.
'If people find out about this... What does she mean?’
If it were not something terrible, a scheming woman like Allison would not lose her temper in public...
Women were born to gossip.
Shakira quietly walked closer to try to hear what they were arguing about...
