Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 551-Jack Is Agitated!

"Yes, Ms. Laviere. I know what I should do," Bella replied fawningly.

Bella was a smart woman, and Mavis had made it obvious. She would be an idiot if she did not understand what her superior was trying to imply!

So many people coveted the position of deputy general manager!

There were so many talented people in the design department. Even Tom and Sue were just as capable as she was.

If she were to rely on her capabilities alone, it would take her a few more years of hard work.

She would have to come up with a scheme tomorrow so that Bianca would be forced to leave T Corporation!

At the hospital.

Leia was dressed in a loose hospital gown and looked haggard. She stared blankly at the ceiling, and no one knew what she was thinking.

She had not applied beauty cream to her face for a few days, and she had not been sleeping well. Her skin was not as smooth and tender as before, and it was a stark contrast to her beautiful and pure image on television.

The nurses were examining her.

Queenie stood anxiously by the side. Jack was there too.

"Ms. Norman looks a lot better today. You don't have to worry, Mr. Norman and Mrs. Norman," the nurse spoke as she prepared an injection.

Leia suddenly came to her senses. She shoved the nurse away and started to shiver!

"Dad, Mom, I'm scared..." Her face was full of tears. It was a pitiful sight.

Queenie could feel her heart break as she looked at her daughter's tearful face and listened to her sobbing voice.

She walked toward Leia's bed and hugged her tightly. "My daughter, you finally recognize your mother! My poor dear... can you tell me what happened? Don't you know that you've given your dad and me a big fright?"

Leia lowered her head and averted her gaze.

She wanted to tell her parents that Luke was the one who had abducted her, and Luke was the one who had thrown her into the snake pit. She wanted her parents to take revenge for her!

However, she shivered again when she thought of the man's cruel deeds and harsh threats.

Luke had said that if she dared to tell her parents about what happened, he would ruin her reputation and make her suffer a fate a hundred times cruder than what happened in the snake pit!

After what happened to her, Leia did not doubt what Luke would do.

She had experienced first-hand how cruel the man could be.

He was not human at all!

Even though Leia bore only hatred and resentment toward that man, she dared not tell the truth to her adoptive parents!

She squeezed a smile on her face. "Dad, Mom, I'm fine... I don't know why those bad guys abducted me, and I couldn't see their faces because I was blindfolded throughout. They locked me up for a while, but they didn't ask me for ransom or even interact with me. After that, they let me go without saying anything. I wonder if they got the wrong person?"

Jack and Queenie looked at each other. They were smart enough not to buy into Leia's excuse.

"Are you hiding something from us, Leia?" Jack said aggressively, "Your agent told us a different story. She said that a group of men in black barged into the ward and knocked her out. When she woke up, you were nowhere to be seen... I've also dispatched many people to investigate your whereabouts, but no one could find any leads. I'd take revenge for you if I find out who the abductor is!" "I really don't know anything, Dad. I was so frightened when they took me away, and I couldn't see their faces because they blindfolded me. I'm so tired now... Dad, do you know what I was thinking when they took me away? I was so afraid that I won't ever see you or Mom ever again. Mom's eyes are failing, and she'll definitely cry if I'm missing. I can't bear to see Mom cry..."

Tears brimmed in Leia's eyes again.

Queenie hugged her and started to cry as well.

Jack was moved. He was an introverted person unlike his wife, but he loved his adoptive daughter nonetheless.

Seeing that Leia was still very much affected by the ordeal, he decided to stop asking questions for now.

He believed that he would eventually find the truth.

How could the daughter of the Provincial Committee Secretary be abducted, and no leads could be found?

What a joke!

Leia eventually became tired from crying.

She had been living in fear for the past few days. Now that she felt a lot more relieved, she fell into a deep sleep very soon.

Seeing that Leia was asleep, Queenie massaged her daughter's temples so that she would sleep better.

"Queenie, you've been sitting by Leia's bedside for many days. You should lie down and take a rest." Jack felt sorry for his wife when he saw her eye bags.

Queenie shook her head. "I'm not tired. Now that Leia is recovering, I feel that I'm alive again. Who do you think has a grudge with Leia? Our daughter is beautiful, gentle, considerate, and generous. Everyone who interacts with her praises her character." 1

Jack tried to comfort her. "Perhaps it's my political enemy. I've made many enemies in my career, and I cant tell who it might be. Don't worry, I'll get to the bottom of this and seek justice for our daughter!" "Mm," Queenie replied and tucked her daughter into the blanket.

Suddenly, she stood up and looked at Jack with a gentle gaze. "I want to tell you a piece of good news, Jack. Our birth daughter is still alive." "Are... are you telling the truth, Queenie? Where did you get that news?" Jack was utterly shocked.

Queenie told her husband what Shakira told her about Allison. She also told him about her doubts.

It was the first time that Jack lost his composure.

His heart was thumping hard, even though he had been able to keep his cool in his career as a politician.

"If... if our daughter is still alive, we'll definitely find her!” Jack said agitatedly.

He paced around the ward, unable to contain his excitement.

The usually calm and stern man looked like a clueless child now. Queenie felt sorry for him.

She knew that her husband was kind toward her adoptive daughter, but he hoped to have a daughter of her own.

However, her health condition did not allow her to fulfill her husband's wish.

Queenie understood how excited her husband was, knowing that their birth daughter was still alive somewhere out there.

In fact, she felt the same as her husband.

"Our Leia will have an elder sister soon, and she won't feel as lonely. I believe that they’ll get along just fine," Queenie said expectantly.

She began to discuss with her husband how to look for their birth daughter, and they did not notice that Leia, who had been sleeping, had stealthily opened her eyes.

When she overheard what her adoptive parents were talking about, she suddenly felt extremely flustered!

Her adoptive parents knew that their birth daughter was still alive...

If... if they managed to find Bianca...

Would she still have a place in the Norman household?

She gripped the blanket in her hands tightly, and her expression was extremely sullen!

No, she cannot let them find Bianca!

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 552-Bianca Was Moved and Saddened

After work, Bianca received a call from her aunt Wanda, saying that Old Master Rayne had been thinking of her. He also wondered about how Bianca's health had been, and he missed Lanie and Rainie.

Bianca had been busy with work lately, not to mention that she had been stuck at her home for the past few months while her leg recovered. Her communication with her grandfather had been limited to phone and video calls.

After hearing from her aunt, Bianca decided that she would visit her grandfather.

She wanted to bring the twins along. However, it would be difficult. The twins were in Crawford Manor, and Luke was away on a business trip.

Bianca knew that Old Master Crawford still had a negative impression of her, while Allison did not even want to talk to her. She would only be humiliating herself if she went there.

At home.

Old Master Rayne was very excited when he saw Bianca. He asked her many questions, including questions about her health and why Luke did not come along.

Even more than that, he asked about whether Lanie and Rainie had grown any taller, and if they listened to their mother...

The old man asked her many questions, and he even repeated several questions three or four times. However, Bianca answered each of those questions without the slightest hint of impatience.

After the chat, Bianca gave her grandfather several boxes of medicated plasters. "Your back has been hurting, Grandpa, and I bought these medicated plasters for you. Try them and see if they're effective. Use one in the morning and one in the evening, and I hope your back will be better."

Old Master Rayne was also old, and the doctor advised against surgery. He had been trying to alleviate the situation with medication.

Bianca had been thinking of how to cure her grandfather's condition.

She knew about the medicated plasters when she overheard the conversation between the two caretakers at home.

One of the caretakers had a serious spinal injury because she had overworked herself in her younger days, and she felt as though a hammer was knocking on her back every day.

After that, she found a natural healer in her hometown who formulated his own medicated plasters. After using it for some time, the pain was reduced by a lot until she was healthy enough to work again.

That was why Bianca thought of asking the caretaker to buy several boxes of medicated plasters for her grandfather. novelbin

She brought the medicated plasters along with her.

Old Master Rayne smiled as he took the boxes. He did not have too much hope of being healed, but he said jokingly, "You're so considerate, Bianca, but I'm afraid that there's no use. I've taken so many medicines and had so many injections. You shouldn't have spent the money on me! I'm already one foot in the grave, and I don't know how much time I still have with you...

Old Master Rayne's eyes misted with tears, and his tone sounded sorrowful.

"You're only seventy, Grandpa. I think that you're still young, and you shouldn't say things like that. You'll definitely live to a hundred, and I hope that you can attend Lanie and Rainie's weddings!"

Bianca hugged her grandfather's arm, just like she did when she was a child.

Old Master Rayne was helpless. "You're a grown woman now, but you're still clingy like a little girl!" "No matter how grown-up I am, I'll still be a little girl in front of you, Grandpa! I want to cling to you like I did when I was little," Bianca said smugly.

Old Master Rayne patted his granddaughter's head. "You're going to be a mother of three soon, and you can't act like a little girl after you're married. Your mother-in-law doesn't seem like she's a friendly person. We should compromise whenever we can instead of arguing with her. Of course, if she tries to take advantage of you, you should tell Luke instantly. I can tell that the Luke boy has a mind of his own, and he won't only obey his mother. You don't have to suffer on your own, understand? If Luke bullies you, you'll have to tell me. I'll get even with him even if it kills me!"

Bianca was moved by her grandfather's concern toward her. She did not doubt that her grandfather loved her very much.

She pressed her lips together and tried to sound casual. "I know, Grandpa, don't worry. Luke and I will move out after we're married, and we won't live together with his mother. If we don't regularly meet, then we won't have the opportunity to quarrel. Luke is very nice to me, and he won't bully me. Sometimes I feel like I'm bullying him!" "That's good to know. I know that my granddaughter is a lucky girl!" Old Master Rayne said, comforted.

Bianca helped her grandfather sit down on the couch, then said, "Have a rest first, Grandpa. I'll go to the kitchen and help out Aunt Wanda. I'm afraid that she's overwhelmed." "You're pregnant. Will you be fine?" Old Master Rayne did not agree with her suggestion. He held Bianca's hand and did not let go.

"I'll be fine, Grandpa. The doctor told me that pregnant women shouldn't always be sitting down. The exercise will be good for me."

Bianca managed to convince her grandfather to let her help in the kitchen.

Once she stepped into the kitchen, she could smell the fragrance of dinner.

"That smells so good, Aunt Wanda!" She exclaimed.

Wanda turned to look at her niece while holding a pot. "I'm making your favorite meatballs, and I'll be making shrimp scampi later. I'll just need to toss the shrimp in the saucepan and we can eat..." "It smells really good, Aunt Wanda. Your cooking is getting better again.

Let me have a taste..." Bianca washed her hands, picked up a meatball from the pot like a child, and stuffed it in her mouth.

The meatball was still piping hot. Bianca yelped a little, and she seemed very mischievous.

"You child..." Wanda pretended to scold Bianca and shook her head.

Her niece was already a mother but still acted so childishly. She did not know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

She had been married to a man from a wealthy family before, and she knew that it was not easy to play that role.

The undercurrents in wealthy families ran deep.

Wealthy families placed a lot of importance on rules and etiquette. Once inside, those rules might reduce a human's true nature to a soulless puppet.

'What if my niece is an exception?' Wanda thought when she was reminded of Bianca's husband-to-be.

With the man protecting her, perhaps Bianca might be lucky. Wanda hoped that Bianca could remain as innocent as before.

While Wanda was cooking at the stove, she felt a warm current in her nasal cavity.

Droplets of blood fell uncontrollably from Wanda's nostril.

The bright-red blood splashed on the spatula...

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 553-Bianca Was Assailed By Many Thoughts

Wanda did not want Bianca to notice that something was wrong with her. She quickly pinched her nose to stop the blood from flowing while she brought the spatula under the tap to wash away the bloodstains.

Her movements were natural and agile, as though she was used to it.

She thought that it was fortunate that the blood did not drip into the pan and that her back was facing Bianca at the moment.

The scene at the hospital replayed in Wanda's mind.

"Mdm. Rayne, your immune system is getting weaker, and you need to be hospitalized for chemotherapy as soon as possible. If you delay it, you'll only be causing more damage to your body, and the chances of you recovering will be lower." "I don't want chemotherapy, Doctor. Are there any less intrusive methods of treatment? I don't mind taking medication too, as long as I can maintain my basic bodily functions," Wanda asked.

She knew the side effects of chemotherapy. Other than nausea, vomiting, and lethargy, she would also have to lose her head full of beautiful hair and become skeletally thin.

Wanda had been pursuing beauty all her life. She would rather die than see herself become like that.

"Mdm. Rayne, the most effective cancer treatment methods available in the country now are either surgery or chemotherapy. Surgery is the default method, but it is only useful against early-stage cancer, and it would do little to alleviate your late-stage cancer. A combination of surgery and chemotherapy would probably be your best bet, but honestly, I cannot recommend any non-intrusive treatment methods for your current condition," the doctor told Wanda.

"Doctor, is cancer hereditary? My brother died from cancer last year, and I have cancer too. Is it because it's hereditary?" Wanda asked.

"It's hereditary in the sense that certain families would have a higher probability of getting cancer than others, though there are other factors, such as poor living conditions. Generally, the inheritable types of cancers are breast cancer, lung cancer, and colon cancer among others. If someone has an immediate family member suffering from those types of cancer, then the probability of getting the same type of cancer would be higher."

Wanda’s heart wrenched.

She and her brother were immediate family members, and both of them suffered from cancer. Was it hereditary, or was it an unlucky coincidence?

If it was hereditary, what would happen to Bianca?

Bianca was her brother's daughter. Would her chances of getting cancer be higher too?

Wanda looked at her pregnant niece helping her out in the kitchen. She could not help but feel sad for her.

She looked at Bianca and said, "Bea, if you have the time, I'll go with you to the hospital for a full body checkup."

Bianca thought that her aunt was worried about the child in her womb. "I've been going to the hospital for regular checkups, Aunt Wanda. The doctor says that the baby is healthy, and there's no problem with my health too. You don't have to worry."

Wanda exhaled heavily and told her niece the reason why she wanted her to do a full-body checkup. "Bea, the last time I was in the hospital, the doctor told me that the chances of you getting cancer are

higher if you have an immediate family member with cancer. Your father died of cancer, and I'm suffering from the same disease. You're my brother's only daughter, and I'm afraid... that..."

She could not finish the sentence.

Bianca did not seem perturbed. "I don't think that'll happen, Aunt Wanda. I think that what happened to you and Dad is only a coincidence. You don't have to worry about it. Moreover, I'm quite familiar with my health. The worst that has happened to me is a fever or a cold.”

However, the usually gentle Wanda was insistent this time. "No, I'll bring you to the hospital someday. I can only be relieved if the results say that you're fine. Now that my brother is gone, I don't know if I can last for long. If something happens to me, you'll have to take care of your grandfather..."

It was the first time that Bianca had seen that weak side of her seemingly unassailable aunt. That made her realize how serious her aunt's condition was.

She dropped the half-washed plate into the sink and hugged her aunt without drying her hands.

She knew that her aunt was sick. Her aunt had told her about it the first time they met.

However, her aunt had been keeping a positive outlook and had been taking the medication regularly, so why did she suddenly...

Tears nearly fell from Bianca's eyes. "Aunt Wanda, Dad is already gone, and Grandpa has already experienced the heart-rending agony of burying his own child... Would you want Grandpa to experience that again? Grandpa is old, and you and he are my only two relatives left. The two of you are my spiritual support. I'll be taking my architect certification test tomorrow, so I can't go to the checkup. We can go to the hospital this coming weekend, but you also have to promise me that you'll try to live on, alright?"

Since young, Bianca had never received love from a mother or an adult female figure. Her aunt was the first one to truly love her.

To Bianca, her aunt was like a mother. That was how important Wanda was to her.

Wanda saw the fear and anxiety in her niece's pleading gaze. Her lips trembled, but eventually, she said, "Alright."

At night.

Bianca did not go home. She stayed with her grandfather.

Wanda also stayed for the night. After knowing that Bianca would have an important test tomorrow, Wanda reminded her that the baby in her womb was more important. If Bianca did not pass the test, she could try again next year.

Bianca listened attentively, and the aunt and niece chatted for a longtime.

At about nine o'clock, Wanda left her niece's room.

Bianca took her phone. She noticed that she had several missed calls and an unread message.

She opened the message to read it. It was from Luke.

[Zander said that you're staying over at your grandfather's house. You must have a lot to chat with your aunt. I shan't disturb you then. You should have enough rest for the test tomorrow. Don't worry, you can do it. I trust you.]

Bianca felt warmth in her heart as she read that message.

She lay on the bed quietly with her eyes closed. Her aunt's words kept replaying in her mind.

There was a chance that cancer was hereditary, and she was Kevin Rayne's daughter.

Would she suffer from cancer in the future?

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 554- One Would Not Have To Think Too Hard To Guess Her Intentions

Wanda prepared breakfast early the next day. After breakfast, the driver sent her to the venue.

Bianca would be taking her test at a famous economics college.

Bianca could see that there were already a lot of people at the venue. It was an impressive scene.

Most of the candidates were male, and there were relatively fewer females.

Many candidates were reviewing their study material on the eve of the test, whether they were going through what they already knew or cramming last- minute. They seemed to be working hard.

That was a regular sight at all test venues.

Sean, the driver, was worried that an accident might happen to Bianca. He parked the car at the parking lot and accompanied Bianca to the venue.

He did not want a repeat of the accident last time!

No one dared to be careless when it came to the people closest to Luke!

Many candidates crowded in front of a notice board to find their seating arrangement.

Bianca's test location was at Classroom 302, on the third floor of Academic Block D.

Sean brought Bianca to a shady spot and told her, "Wait here for a while, Madam. I'll help you check the location of your classroom. There's a big crowd here, so you shouldn't move around too much. I'll come back here soon." "Alright, Thank you," Bianca replied.

It was very tiring for her to keep standing with a pregnant womb, so she found a stone stool and sat down.

She took out a textbook from her handbag and started to browse through it.

She also read through the summary that Luke had given her.

When Bianca was reading seriously, she suddenly heard a sweet feminine voice next to her. "Hello, nice to meet you. Are you here for the test too?"

Bianca lifted her head, quite surprised. She saw a long-haired young woman in trendy clothes, smiling at her while holding a book in her hands.

The woman looked pure, and she had a sweet smile on her face. She seemed kind and harmless.

Bianca returned a smile out of courtesy. "Nice to meet you. Yes, I'm here for the test." "My name is Julie Anderson. It's my first time taking the test." After the young woman introduced herself, she sat down next to Bianca as though they were already friends. “You're so young, but you're already a mother? Did you marry right after you graduated? Is it your first time taking the architect certification test too?"

Bianca was caught off guard by the young woman's barrage of questions.

She did not answer the questions that involved her personal life. Instead, she replied gently, "My name is Bianca Rayne. It's my first time taking the test too."

The young woman named Julie Anderson noticed the notes in Bianca's hands. 1

After glancing at it once, she blinked and exclaimed, "Are these your study notes? Your handwriting is so pretty, and the contents are so detailed... There are even common mistakes too? Wow... I think that your notes are better than the textbooks. Can I take a look?"

Bianca hesitated.

However, she could see the eagerness in the young woman's eyes. She handed one of the two sheets of paper that Luke gave her to the young woman. "Take a look."

Julie accepted the summary happily and thanked Bianca. Then, she started reading through the sheet seriously.

About ten minutes later, Sean came running back.

He did not expect that there were so many candidates crowded at the notice board. He almost could not catch his breath.

If he, a well-built man, would find it hard to move about the notice board, what about Bianca, a pregnant woman?

Sean thought that he had made the right decision by accompanying Bianca to the venue.

Otherwise, it was too easy for an accident to befall her.

If that happened, he would not be able to escape punishment.

"I've found your seating arrangement, Madam..." As Sean came running toward Bianca, he abruptly stopped talking when he noticed the beautiful young woman sitting next to her.

He scratched his head and asked, "Madam, she is...?’ "Thank you," Bianca closed her book, took out a bottle of water from her handbag, and handed it to him. "Have a drink. This is Julie Anderson, my new friend who's also taking the test today." "Nice to meet you." Julie smiled and greeted Sean. Her eyes were narrowed into crescent moons, and she looked rather adorable.

Sean's heart beat a little faster. An awkward smile appeared on his rugged face. "Nice to meet you. I'm Sean Zander, the driver."

Julie covered her mouth and smiled when she saw how flustered Sean was. 'What a silly man!' She thought.

However, her brown eyes sparkled when she heard Sean address Bianca as "Madam" and said that he was Bianca's driver. Then, she discreetly sized up Bianca.

Julie could see that Bianca was dressed in a white-colored standard maternity dress. The black round collar contrasted the fair skin of her neck.

She also noticed the Italian words on the tag on Bianca's collar. It was a luxury brand.

Julie started to be excited when she saw the tag.

It was a famous Italian fashion label. One dress alone would cost six months of her salary.

She had thought that Bianca was just an ordinary woman like her. Now, she was trying to guess her identity.

Bianca did not know Julie's thoughts at that moment. She was looking at a video from a financial news channel on her phone.

"The Continental Financial Summit will be held in the capital soon. The special guest for the summit will be Luke Crawford, the rising star in the business world. He will be speaking at length about economic trends in the new era."

It was not surprising that news about Luke appeared in the financial news channels, but she did not expect to see him at that moment.

Financial news should be about finance, but the cameraman knew that netizens want to be entertained too. The other businessmen were either old or potbellied, so the young and handsome Luke was prominently featured.

The news segment also prominently featured Mavis, who stood next to Luke.

In the scene, one could still see that Mavis was infatuated with Luke.

However, the latter did not seem to realize it.

It was Luke's turn to speak.

When Mavis handed the microphone to Luke, she inadvertently used her finger to touch Luke's hand.

One would not have to think too hard to imagine her intentions.

Bianca could see that Luke furrowed his brows, took a napkin from the table, and discreetly wiped his hand several times. Then, he took the microphone and started to give his speech.

Mavis's expression seemed to freeze for a moment. Soon after, she resumed her elegant smile.

Bianca wanted to laugh. That man seemed to be a bigger clean freak by the day...

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 555-Chapter 555 Wow, It's Luke Crawford, the Rising Star of A City!

Julie noticed that Bianca was watching Luke make his speech. She leaned over and asked, "What are you watching, Bianca?"

When she saw the handsome and gentlemanly Luke on the screen, her face lit up with admiration. "Wow, it's Luke Crawford, the rising star of A City! He's so handsome! That man is my idol. He has developed T Corporation from the ground up. That's a miraculous feat! My dream is to work in T Corporation as a regular wage-earner! Do you want to work at T Corporation too, Bianca? We should do our best in this test, get our architect certification, and apply to T Corporation! How about that?"

Bianca could not stand Julie's chatter.

She seemed like a lady when she kept her mouth shut, but once she started speaking, she was like a twittering sparrow.

"Madam is already..."

Sean wanted to explain on Bianca's behalf, but Bianca shot a glance at him.

"I hope that we'll pass with flying colors," Bianca said.

Julie nodded. She wanted to continue watching her idol on Bianca's phone, but Bianca had already closed the page.

"Why did you turn off the video, Bianca?" She said disappointedly.

Bianca looked at her watch and stood up. "It's almost time, and we should enter the venue early. Where is your classroom?" "302, Block D. How about you?"

Bianca was surprised. "We're at the same place." "What a coincidence!” Julie exclaimed excitedly. "Looks like we're fated to be friends. I'm at seat number 5. How about you?" "I'm at number 16," Bianca replied.

Julie took Bianca's hand and prepared to head to the venue. "Let's go together then! I'm so happy to have found a friend here. I thought I'd be alone."

Bianca did not want to throw cold water on Julie's enthusiasm. She said apologetically to Sean, "Non- candidates can't enter the venue, and the tests will take some time. Could you wait outside for a while? You can leave if you have some other business, or you can stroll around the place. I'll give you a call when I'm done..." "Alright," Sean replied.

Bianca and Julie walked along a path that cut through the vast college.

Many candidates were walking hurriedly in the same direction.

Julie discreetly protected Bianca so that the other candidates would not bump into her.

Bianca was quite moved by that gesture.

Julie spoke as she walked forward. "We shouldn't panic during the test, Bianca. We should complete the easier questions first, then move on to the harder ones. We don't have much time to waste." "I know,’ Bianca said with a smile.

At that moment, Bianca's phone started ringing. She saw that it was from Luke and instantly answered it. "Hello..." 'Isn't that man giving a speech now? How did he have the time to call her?'

The man seemed to guess Bianca's thoughts and explained to her in his resonant voice, "It's almost time for the test, and I guessed that you're heading to the venue now. I took a short break to call you. Do your best, Bianca. I believe in you!"

Bianca smiled genuinely. "Alright."

After she ended the call, Julie asked curiously, ' Did your husband call you?"

Bianca smiled shyly.

Luke was not her husband yet, but she did not want to explain that she was pregnant before she was married. So, she nodded.

"Your husband is so nice to you," Julie said with some admiration.

She could guess that Bianca's husband was rich and influential.

However, she considered the fact that many young and beautiful girls made rich tycoons their sugar daddies. Perhaps Bianca was married to a rich but ugly person.

After all, it was rare for a man to be both rich and handsome, not to mention that women would be flocking to them. She did not believe that Bianca would be lucky enough to marry a man who was both rich and handsome.

She felt a little better after arriving at that conclusion. 2

In any case, she could tell that Bianca's husband was someone influential. If she could be good friends with Bianca, it would eventually help her in her career.

Instantly, she became friendlier toward Bianca.

Bianca felt uneasy about how eager Julie was to please her.

She was grateful that Julie was shielding her from the other candidates with her elbows, so she did not say anything.

Soon, they arrived outside Classroom 302.

Two male invigilators were standing outside.

One of them was supervising the candidates as they placed their belongings outside. The other was pointing a scanner at the candidates entering the classroom.

A long table was placed outside the classroom for the candidates to put their belongings.

Anything that they did not need during the test had to be placed there.

Bianca put her notes and her phone in her handbag, then placed her handbag next to Julie's.

Then, she and Julie entered the classroom together.

An invigilator scanned Bianca's body and confirmed that she did not bring any cheating tools before allowing her in.

Bianca sat at her assigned seat and waited for the start of the test.

She inadvertently glanced at the entrance of the classroom. Suddenly, she noticed Bella, her design department lead, appear there.

Bianca was surprised. She did not expect to see Bella at the venue.

Many classrooms were used for the test. It was too big of a coincidence that she and Bella were assigned to the same classroom.

Bianca and Bella exchanged glances, though they carried different expressions. One of them was surprised, while the other was impassive.

She was reminded of how Bella was always picking on her in the company. She bit her lip, wondering why her department lead seemed to have a grudge against her.

However, that was not important for now. Bianca looked away and inspected her stationery.

Bella placed her handbag on the table outside.

Suddenly, she noticed the little white bear toy on Bianca's handbag.

Bella recognized it very well. Bianca had brought the handbag to work every day.

She was very sure that the handbag belonged to Bianca because of the unique shape of the toy.

'How tacky!' She thought.

She discreetly pulled open the zipper to Bianca's handbag when no one was looking.

She rummaged through her handbag quickly and pulled out a note. Then, she discreetly closed the zipper...

Bella's movements were quick, and the other candidates were in a rush to enter the classroom anyway. No one noticed what she did.

The atmosphere in the classroom was tense. Bianca felt as though she was back in high school. She had to be alert to face the coming test.

Bella sat on the seat behind Bianca.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 556-Sir, I Would Like To Report A Case of Cheating!

Bianca did not expect that Bella's seat was number 17. That instantly put her in a bad mood.

It was already an uncanny coincidence that they were assigned to the same classroom, but consecutive seats too? She cursed her luck!

The test was starting soon, and she did not have the time to be bothered about Bella.

Bianca shot a glance at Julie, who was sitting diagonally opposite her. The young woman seemed to have noticed that, and she pumped her fist at Bianca as a show of encouragement.

Bianca felt relieved when she saw that warm smile.

Ring...

The bell rang, and the invigilators gave out the test papers and answer sheets.

Bianca wrote down her name on the answer sheet, then started to fill in her candidate number with a #2 pencil.

After filling in her information, she checked it one more time before quickly browsing the contents of the test paper.

She gained a brief understanding of the questions and started to answer them with a black ballpoint pen.

It was an Engineering Economics paper, and she was not too good at that subject even when she was in college. If she could pass that paper, then the other paper would not be a problem.

After arriving at that thought, she began to focus on answering the questions.

She had to admit that Luke was very accurate in his predictions.

The summary proved to be very useful, and most of the highlighted points appeared in the test. She thought that the man was more accurate than a fortune teller.

The test questions were slightly difficult, but Bianca was not worried. She handily answered one question after another.

Bella looked at Bianca, who was answering the questions seriously. A sinister smile appeared on her face.

Mavis had given her a task, and she had been wondering how she should set Bianca up at the test venue. She could not think of anything after a long time.

She had even thought of the stupidest idea, which was to bribe the invigilators.

However, she discovered that luck was on her side!

She was ecstatic when she found out that she was assigned to the same classroom as Bianca, and she was sitting behind her!

Perhaps it was time that Bianca received her comeuppance!

The two invigilators took their job seriously and patrolled around the classroom.

All the candidates were focused on the test.

Some of the candidates seemed happy, while some were frowning. That was normal for any test.

Bianca belonged to the former category. Her handwriting was neat, and she answered the questions quickly.

Moreover, she was visibly pregnant. The invigilators could not help but turn their heads at her.

The classroom was silent except for the rustling sounds of pens writing on paper.

Bianca answered the questions according to ascending level of difficulty. She skipped over the questions that she was not confident of answering, and soon she completed more than half of the paper.

Meanwhile, Bella was struggling with the questions.

It was her second time taking that paper. Last year, she had failed the same paper, so she had to pass it this time.

To receive the architect certification, a candidate had to pass all four subjects in a two-year period. If she failed the test again, it meant that the validity of the other three subjects would expire, and she had to start all over. That was not what she wanted!

Bella did not expect that the questions were tougher than the previous year's questions. She was having a hard time.

She looked at Bianca in front of her. Bianca was writing continuously, as though she did not need the time to think. That made Bella even more jealous and resentful.

Meanwhile, at seat number 6, Julie was shocked.

Some of the questions had appeared in Bianca's notes, which surprised Julie greatly.

She wondered if Bianca managed to predict the questions in the paper.

At the same time, she regretted not studying the notes more thoroughly.

As time passed, the temperature in the classroom seemed to be rising.

The classroom remained silent as usual, except for the whirring fans that hung from the ceiling.

Bianca opened her bottle and took several sips.

The duration of the test was two hours. Even healthy candidates might find it physically and mentally taxing, much less a pregnant woman like Bianca.

Luke had reminded her to bring a drink to the venue. She could take a few sips if she felt tired, and that would restore her energy.

Indeed, Bianca felt a lot better after taking a drink.

She began to tackle the harder questions that she was not very confident in answering. They were quite tricky, but fortunately, they were all multiple-choice questions.

Every time she managed to solve a question, the confident smile on her face grew wider by a little.

When she was done answering all the questions, she glanced at her watch and saw that there was still another half an hour before the end of the test.

Bianca began to recheck her answers.

She even managed to correct one of the questions that she had answered wrongly in her initial attempt.

A shrill whistle sounded.

One of the invigilators announced loudly, "There are ten minutes to the end of the test. Please work faster if you're not done yet. Also, this is a reminder to double-check that you have filled in your information correctly on the answer sheet."

Bianca briefly checked her information, then checked her answers again.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye. "Everyone, stand up!" The invigilator announced.

The candidates pushed their chairs back and stood up while the two invigilators collected the answer sheets.

Bella had been pressing the notes that she took from Bianca's handbag to the bottom of her desk with her knees. She quickly took it with her hands, crumpled it into a little ball, and tossed it under Bianca’s chair.

Bella did it stealthily, and the other candidates' attention was focused on the invigilators. No one noticed what Bella did, except for Julie, who was sitting diagonally opposite Bianca.

However, Julie did not say anything.

Firstly, it was an important test, and Julie did not want to court unwanted trouble. Secondly, they were about to leave the classroom, so there should not be any trouble.

Thirdly, she thought that Bianca's husband must be someone influential. Even if Bianca got into trouble, he would be able to help her. She knew better than to meddle in someone else's business.

At that time, trouble happened!

Bella suddenly pointed at the crumpled ball of paper under Bianca's chairand said loudly, "Sir, I'd like to report a case ofcheating!"

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 557- I Am Bianca’s Husband

Right after Bella finished speaking, the classroom instantly erupted in surprised exclamations!

The architect certification test was a national test, and the consequences for cheating were harsh. Not only would the results of this test be annulled, but the candidate could not take any more technical certification tests for the next two years! 1

In serious cases, the perpetrator would be criminally viable!

The invigilators opened their eyes wide as they looked at Bianca!

The other candidates also looked at Bianca differently.

They did not expect that the beautiful and gentle pregnant woman would be cheating!

The invigilator walked up next to Bianca and looked at Bella sternly. "What happened?"

Bella pointed a finger at Bella and said maliciously, "Sir, I noticed that when she was tidying her answer sheets, a ball of paper fell out and landed under her chair. She must be cheating!"

Then, her finger pointed to a spot below Bianca's chair.

Everyone followed her finger and saw a crumpled ball of paper.

The tall and thin invigilator frowned, then bent down to pick up the ball of paper.

As the invigilator unfolded the piece of paper, Bianca's heart started thumping hard!

That was part of the notes that Luke had given her. How did it appear in the classroom?

She remembered very clearly that she had put the notes and her phone in her handbag before entering the classroom...

When Bianca turned her head and saw the malicious smile on Bella's face, she was stunned.

Bella must have brought in that sheet of paper, but why would she do that?

"Is this sheet of paper yours, Miss?" The invigilator asked Bianca sternly.

The contents of the notes were very similar to the test questions. In fact, some were exactly the same!

That had shocked the invigilator!

The other candidates looked at Bianca with a variety of expressions, and that made Bianca feel extremely uneasy.

She could not help but be nervous, even though she did not cheat. "It is mine," she admitted.

The expressions of the invigilators instantly sank. "Please follow us to the office after this, Miss!" They said sternly.

Bianca was instantly flustered!

There would definitely be an investigation!

She was not afraid of being wrongly accused, but the other people would definitely have a negative opinion of her, regardless of the results of the investigation.

"I swear that I did not cheat, Sir! The sheet of paper is mine, but I have kept it in my handbag. It's not me who brought it into the classroom! Right, I have a friend who can testify for me. Julie, the two of us entered the classroom together, and you saw me put my notes into my handbag, didn't I?" Bianca looked at Julie sitting opposite her with a pleading gaze.

Bianca's eyes were tearing up. People who saw her helpless gaze would feel pity for her.

Many male candidates started to whisper to each other. The woman seemed innocent and pitiable, and she came to take the test even though she was pregnant. Her tenacity was admirable, and she did not seem like someone who would cheat.

Julie did not want to get herself involved, but she could see that Bianca was about to cry...

She glanced at Bianca's luxury brand maternity clothes, then remembered that Bianca had a driver to send her to the venue...

Julie instantly had a plan.

She raised her hand and spoke to the invigilators, "Sir, I came to the classroom together with Bianca. The two of us placed our handbags on the table outside, and I saw that

Bianca had placed her phone and her notes in her handbag. I am very sure about that."

Bella's expression sank when she heard what Julie said.

She thought that her plan would go off without a hitch, and she did not expect that a stumbling stone would appear in her way.

Bella was exasperated. "Miss, you said that Bianca had put her notes in her handbag, so how did it appear in the classroom? Maybe she brought along a lot of notes with her, and she secretly took out a sheet while you weren't looking?"

Julie did not say anything, i

She had noticed Bella throw the crumpled ball of paper under Bianca's chair.

However, she did not want to say it because she did not want to get too involved.

The invigilators looked at each other, then quickly collected the answer sheets of the other candidates.

Cheating was a serious offense. They wanted the other students to leave but kept Bella and Bianca behind.

Bianca saw that her answer sheet was placed at the top. On it was a red mark.

She had studied very hard in preparation for the test, but she was being framed for cheating, i

Next to her, Bella was smiling mockingly.

Bianca closed her eyes, trying hard not to cry.

Before Bianca was led away by the invigilators, she quickly scribbled a string of numbers on Julie's hand.

That was Luke's phone number.

Bianca believed that Luke would be able to prove her innocence. She could only pray that he would come soon.

After stepping out of the classroom, Julie glanced at the string of numbers on the back of her hand. In a hurry, Bianca's handwriting was extremely messy, but Julia could see that the number started with "13" followed by consecutive "6"s.

Julie was shocked. She could not imagine how much that number would cost.

She remembered reading a news article saying that according to the Guinness Book of Records, the highest price paid for a phone number was 2.8 million dollars. That phone number had seven consecutive "6"s, but the phone number that Bianca had written on her hand had one more "6 " than that number. One could imagine the astronomical value it fetched!

Julie became more and more curious about Bianca's real identity.

Excitedly, Julie dialed the number on her phone.

She thought that no one would answer the call. However, she waited for about ten seconds before the call was picked up.

"Hello?" A low and resonant masculine voice was heard from the other end of the phone.

Luke never answered calls from unknown numbers.

However, he noticed that the number originated from A City, and Bianca should have finished a test. He guessed that Bianca's phone must have run out of battery, and she was using someone else's phone to call him.

"H... Hello, are you Bianca Rayne's husband?" Luke heard a timid feminine voice.

Luke's gaze narrowed. He had an ominous premonition." Yes, I am Bianca's husband. Who is this?"

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 558- Bianca Felt A Lot Better!

The man's voice on the other end of the phone was too attractive. Julie could not contain her happiness. She could feel her ovaries exploding, i

She thought that Bianca's husband must have been a perverted middle-aged man, but she had guessed wrong.

The man's voice sounded even better than a certain primetime news anchor she was obsessed with.

Someone with such an attractive voice could not have been a middle-aged, potbellied tycoon.

She tried to sound as calm as possible. "Nice to meet you. My name is Julie Anderson. I became friends with Bianca before the test. It's like this: Someone framed Bianca for cheating, and the invigilators brought her to the office for an investigation. She gave me your phone number to ask you for help, and that's why I gave you a call..."

"Understood. I will show you my gratitude later!" After a pause of a few seconds, the phone call was abruptly cut off.

"Um..." Julie wanted to continue hearing the man speak but did not expect that he instantly hung up. Feeling a little discouraged, she kicked a pebble off the path.

The capital.

Luke had just managed to extricate himself from the Continental Financial Summit. He almost crushed the phone in his hand, and his icy gaze seemed to be overlaid with the color of blood.

Several well-known businessmen wanted to take a photo with him, but Luke ignored them all and walked toward a quiet and secluded corner.

The businessmen instantly seemed awkward.

Mavis smiled at them apologetically and explained to them that Mr. Crawford was not feeling well.

Then, she quickly caught up to him.

"What's wrong, Mr. Crawford?" Mavis asked softly. She felt slightly uneasy as she walked side by side with Luke.

Luke pointed a palm at Mavis, indicating to her to keep quiet. He was making another phone call.

Mavis quietly listened to the conversation. The more she listened, the more fearful she became.

She could feel the frigid aura around the man. Her beautiful eyes flashed with understanding, and she discreetly went away.

In the college office.

"Why do you cheat, Ms. Rayne? Don't you know that there's a law that forbids cheating in national certification tests?" An invigilator said coldly as he looked at Bianca's pale face.

"I did not cheat, Sir. I will give the same answer no matter how many times you ask that question!" Bianca was sitting straight in her chair. She sounded as though she was sobbing, but her tone of voice was determined.

The invigilator waved the piece of "evidence" in his hand in front of Bianca's face and said unhappily, "You've already admitted that this piece of paper belongs to you, and Ms. Sloan here said that she witnessed you cheating. What else do you have to say for yourself?"

Bianca retorted, "How can you listen to only one side of the story? My friend has said that she saw me put my notes in my handbag. As for why it would suddenly appear in the classroom, I can only say that

I have been framed. The informer and I are colleagues in T Corporation, and she is my department lead. Ms. Sloan has a grudge against me, and she always finds fault with everything I do. I have sufficient reasons to suspect that she has framed me!"

If Bella would frame her like that, she had no reason to endure the abuse without protest! i

She finally understood that some people did not have moral boundaries. The more you try to tolerate them, the more they would run rampant over you!

The two invigilators looked at each other. They did not expect that the two candidates would have a grudge against each other. However, their only concern was the situation at hand.

It was a serious offense to cheat, and they would get to the bottom of it!

Suddenly, Bella's phone dinged. She had received a message.

She noticed that it was from Mavis, and she instantly opened it to read it.

[Ms. Sloan, you should understand that you had initiated certain plans of your own volition, and they have nothing to do with other people. If you are unfortunately exposed, I don't think I need to tell you what to do. Right, I've been covering up the fact that you've been receiving kickbacks from some clients. I'm not sure how long I can continue covering them up.]

It was a flash message.

After Bella closed it, the message disappeared without a trace, as though it was never sent in the first place.

Bella's back was drenched in a cold sweat, and her heart was beating wildly.

She thought that no one knew about her receiving kickbacks from clients; she had been so careful, and no one had ever exposed her. How did Mavis know?

However, she realized that the situation is slowly slipping out of control.

The two invigilators interrogated Bianca for almost half an hour, but she insisted that she was innocent. They were getting agitated.

They had the evidence and the witness, but the young woman did not admit to it no matter what. Meanwhile, the other candidate insisted that the young woman had cheated.

Bianca was pregnant, and the invigilators did not dare to use extreme measures. That was why they were caught in a stalemate.

Suddenly, one of the invigilators received a phone call. He picked it up and said respectfully, "Chief Examiner Lawson..."

Chief Examiner Lawson instantly started scolding him. "Are you currently interrogating a candidate named Bianca Rayne now? Let her go now! Do you know who’s behind her? Her husband is Luke Crawford, the Cold-Faced Devil of the business world. How dare you say that she's cheating?"

"But Sir, we have evidence..." The invigilator wanted to explain.

"But what? Let her go now, and let her sit for the next paper. We can continue with the investigation after the test! Also, return Ms. Rayne's phone to her right now!" Chief Examiner Lawson was not in the mood for excuses.

The invigilator hung up. Then, he reluctantly handed Bianca's phone back to her.

Right after she got her phone back, she instantly received a call from Luke...

"Luke," she called out as soon as she answered the call.

Luke sounded extremely concerned on the other end of the phone. "Listen to me, Bianca, I know what happened. Don't worry, I'm on my way back to A City. The plane is taking off soon. Don't be too nervous when sitting for the next paper, I'll make sure that your reputation is restored."

Bianca felt a lot better after she hung up.

She glared at Bella coldly, as though she would tear her in two with her gaze!

Bella's heart skipped a beat when she heard Bianca's conversation with Luke. However, she tried hard to keep calm. "Tch, what's your problem, you shameless cheater?"

Bianca could not be bothered to reply to her. She headed toward the classroom and prepared for the next paper.

Bianca was somewhat affected by the incident. She knew that Luke would protect her, but she still felt uneasy.

She had barely finished answering all the questions when the bell rang, signifying the end of the test.

After the test, Bianca and Bella were once again brought to the office.

The only difference was that Julie had volunteered to come along as a witness.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 559- Luke Forcefully Hugged Her In His Arms!

The investigation in the office lasted until nighttime.

However, the invigilators' attitude toward Bianca had improved a lot.

Now, Julie was willing to be a witness for Bianca's innocence, and that had made Bianca feel less helpless.

However, Bella remained insistent. "I don't care what she says, she has indeed cheated. I saw with my eyes that the ball of paper fell from her hands!"

"I did not cheat, Sir."

Right after Bianca finished speaking, Julie nodded. "I can testify for Bianca, Sir. She is telling the truth. I saw Bianca put her notes in her handbag.

Bella saw that things were not going her way. She instantly shouted, "Sir, I believe that they are complicit with each other. They must be friends that have known each other for a long time, so she's willing to give a false statement to help Bianca!"

Julie spoke to the invigilator in a serious tone. "No, Ms. Rayne and I knew each other earlier today, and we have never met before. I volunteer to speak out for her because I cannot allow certain people to frame her. I saw with my own eyes that Ms. Bella Sloan tossed the paper under Ms.

Rayne's seat."

'Oh no, she saw what I did. This will be bad for me!' Bella thought.

To hide her guilt, Bella slammed her palm on the table. "The two of you must share some illicit relationship. Sir, why is she the only one who saw it? If she really did see it, why didn't she call me out in the classroom but instead wait until the investigation in the office? What a joke. What could my intention be for framing Ms. Rayne?"

Julie did not have a reply for that.

She did not know what grudge Bella had with Bianca, but she chose to keep quiet in the classroom because she did not want to get in trouble. However, after that phone call, she was willing to get herself involved.

"Sir, Bella Sloan and I are working in T Corporation's architectural design department. Her employee ID is 2703, and mine is 2789. We have some personal grudges at work, and I'm suspecting that she is using this opportunity to take revenge on me! If you don't believe me, you can call T Corporation's HR department."

With Luke's assurance, Bianca felt very calm.

Meanwhile, Julie's mouth opened wide in shock.

She did not expect that Bianca was already an employee of T Corporation. Earlier, she had exhorted Bianca to apply to T Corporation together...

Now, she felt that her cheeks were hot.

The invigilators looked at each other. One of them said, "I will make a call to T Corporation, and we will find out if the two of you have personal grudges against each other."

Bella inhaled sharply. She abruptly stood up from her seat and shrieked, "Sir, I'm her superior at work, and we are not competing with each other. How could we have any grudges? I have indeed seen her

cheat, and I reported her because I am civic-minded and disciplined. I won't frame her! I'll have to go now, Sir. Otherwise, my parents will worry!"

Bella took her bag and prepared to leave.

She had to extricate herself as soon as possible. Otherwise, her effort would be all in vain.

The invigilators were also getting tired.

They had not achieved anything after the long investigation. They discussed it for a while and decided to let Bella leave.

Bella stepped on her high heels arrogantly and said pretentiously, "Sirs, you have to take this matter seriously and punish Bianca Rayne for cheating. She has a character problem. If she would cheat while she's pregnant, I wonder if her child would be ashamed of their mother? If you don’t punish her severely, it won't be fair for the other candidates."

"Enough with your slander, Bella Sloan!"

Bianca was angered by Bella's insulting words. She stood up, grabbed Bella's shirt sleeve, and did not let go. "You can’t leave, not before we get to the bottom of this!"

"Let go of me, b*tch!" Bella glanced condescendingly at Bianca, easily tore her hand away, then continued to walk toward the door.

Bianca knew that if she let Bella leave just like that, it would be hard for her to overturn the verdict.

On an impulse, she ran ahead and grabbed Bella's arm. She even lost her cool. "I was never at fault, Bella Sloan. How can you frame me and then pretend that it has nothing to do with you?"

"I've framed you? What a joke! Stop playing the victim, that's not going to work on me! You should remember to abide by the rules next time. Don't think that you can cheat your way to be a certified architect! How shameless!"

Bella shoved Bianca's hand away.

Bella was in a hurry to leave, and so she used a lot of strength. Bianca was pushed out of the door.

Bianca tripped and nearly fell on the floor.

At that moment, a pair of strong arms hugged her waist and brought her into his embrace, thus preventing her from falling.

Everyone was shocked.

The man who entered the room was tall and extremely handsome. His sculpted facial features and high nose bridge exuded authority.

His gaze was cold and hostile, which gave him a noble demeanor. One glance from him would send shivers down one's spine!

Behind him was a plump and sweaty middle-aged man with a fawning expression on his face.

"Mr. Crawford, Chief Examiner Lawson..." The invigilators were surprised that the chief examiner was there. More unexpectedly, even Luke Crawford arrived at the scene.

Bella's face instantly went pale. She wished that she could disappear from the scene.

Meanwhile, Julie was dumbfounded.

'Isn't the man Luke Crawford, my idol? Why would he be here?

'Don't tell me... he's Bianca's husband?'

"You're finally here, Luke..." When Bianca saw Luke, she finally let her bottled feelings out.

She hugged Luke's neck tightly.

Luke patted Bianca's head. "Don't worry, I'm here." His voice had a natural magnetism.

Then, he swept his gaze over the people in the office.

When his gaze reached Bella, it suddenly turned sharp and penetrating like a knife. "It's only an architect certification test. Even if Bianca doesn't take the test, she is nonetheless outstanding. She is working in the best company, and she will attain the highest position. What use does she have for a certificate? To prove she is capable, she has studied hard for the test even though she is pregnant. How could she cheat?"

Luke was forcefully hugging Bianca in his arms!

His appearance gave her a strong sense of security.

Like a superhero, the man would always appear whenever she was in trouble and give her a surprise...

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 560- Bianca Is Always Loved!

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Bella felt her life flashing before her eyes the instant she saw Luke appear.

However, there was no turning back for her. She braced herself and said, "Mr. Crawford, I really saw Bianca cheating.

I was sitting behind her, and I saw everything..."

"Is that so?" His icy gaze fell on Bella's face. Bella was stricken by panic when she saw that bloodshot gaze.

Bella thought that Mr. Crawford had given up on Bianca after the humiliation she put him through at the engagement ceremony!

After that, Mr. Crawford was rumored to be dating Leia Norman, and they were even one step away from being engaged...

That was why Bella thought that Bianca had left A City. She had never seen Bianca appear next to Mr. Crawford for a long time...

The woman next to Mr. Crawford during that period had always been Mavis.

She had even seen her boss going out to dinner with Mavis on several separate occasions. That was why she thought that Mavis had replaced Bianca as Mr. Crawford's woman. Unfortunately for her, she had guessed wrong! 2

Looking at how worried Mr. Crawford was, it was not hard to see that the man still had affection for Bianca!

The truth was a hard pill to swallow. Bella looked at Bianca with resentmentjealousy, and disbelief.

She did not understand why Mr. Crawford still loved Bianca. What charm did she have?

As far as she knew, rich young men were fickle. When they grew tired of a woman, they would move on to a more beautiful one.

To them, love was but a game!

Ditching a woman was a matter of time!

Why was Mr. Crawford not like that?

"Miss, I promise you that we will deliver a fair verdict. We will not frame an innocent person, and we will not condone any false accusations!" Chief Examiner Lawson wiped the sweat off his forehead and smiled courteously at Bianca. While he turned to look at Bella, his gaze was filled with prejudice.

Bella was furious when she noticed that. "Why do you look at me like that? I did not falsely accuse her!"

She was not going to admit defeat!

She would not be able to face herself if she did!

Luke brought Bianca to the couch, and both of them sat down. He shot a cold glance at Bella. "You should watch your words, Ms. Sloan. The law does indeed punish

cheaters, but at the same time, it holds liars with equal liability. You should know that very well, Ms. Sloan!"

Cold sweat flowed down Bella's back. She was beginning to shake.

She knew very well what Mr. Crawford could do.

Even if Bianca had really cheated, Luke would manage to intervene and bail her out of it.

Moreover, Bianca did not cheat. Bella was the one who framed her, and that had made Bella feel guilty.

Bella tried to keep calm and assess the situation. Now that she had framed Bianca for cheating, she would be punished even if she retracted her statement.

The invigilators would sense that she was framing Bianca and punish her forthat.

Looking at how much Luke cared for Bianca, Bella knew that she would not be able to stay in T Corporation any longer.

If that were the case, she had to mount a last-ditch effort. She was not going to go down alone!

Bella braced herself and insisted, "That woman has indeed cheated, Mr. Crawford. I did not lie! Don't think that you're above the law just because you know someone powerful, Bianca!"

Luke's gaze was scathing, and Bella felt a chill traveling down her spine.

"Very well, Ms. Sloan. I admire your guts!" The man said with a smile.

Bella dared not look into Luke's eyes. His menacing and incisive gaze would see through her.

At that time, Jason arrived.

He was not surprised when he looked at the people in the office, especially Bianca. He was already briefed about the incident on his way there.

Jason walked up next to Luke and bowed. "Mr. Crawford."

"Chief Examiner Lawson, please give Mr. Doyle a copy of the candidates' contact information," Luke said to Chief Examiner Lawson coldly.

Chief Examiner Lawson nodded frantically. "No problem, Mr. Crawford."

Luke hugged Bianca closer and looked at Chief Examiner Lawson and the invigilators. "She isn't in good health, and she is also pregnant. It's already so late. I don’t think there's a problem if I bring her home now?"

"No problem, no problem at all. Ms. Rayne is pregnant, and it's our responsibility to be compassionate toward our candidates." Chief Examiner Lawson smiled fawningly.

He almost could not bear Luke's overbearing demeanor, and he wanted Luke to be gone as soon as possible.

Luke picked Bianca up in a bridal carry and was about to leave.

Jason would be there to handle the rest.

Seeing that Bianca was about to leave, Julie, who had kept quiet all this while, suddenly spoke out, "You don't have to worry, Bianca. I believe that Mr. Crawford will help you. I will testify for you if you need it. You can contact me any time..."

Luke abruptly stopped walking. He shot an icy gaze at Julie.

Julie subconsciously took a step backward when her eyes met that fearful gaze, but she smiled sweetly and nodded anyway.

Luke furrowed his brows.

"Luke, she's Julie Anderson. She was the one who helped me call you earlier, and she also stood up to be my witness... " Bianca spoke softly into Luke's ear as she hugged his neck. Her eyes were brimming with gratitude toward Julie.

Luke's gaze flickered. Then, he turned to speak to Jason. "I'll leave this to you. Reward this miss here appropriately."

Jason understood what his boss meant.

Julie tried hard to contain her joy. 'What luck!'

Her dream was to work in T Corporation!

The multinational company had strict requirements for its prospective employees. It would be very difficult for her to join the company with her own capabilities and experience.

She did not expect the opportunity to come during the test!

In the car.

Luke hugged Bianca's waist and gently kissed her eyes. "Are you still angry? Silly girl."

"I was almost scared to death today. I really didn't cheat, but someone framed me... Do you know, no one in the classroom except Julie believed me. I don't think I can ever forget being so helpless..." Bianca said softly.

Luke hugged her more tightly.

His gaze was chilly and profound like a phantom of the night. "Even if everyone else in the world thinks that you've cheated, I will still believe that you did not. Don't worry, I'll prove your innocence."

No person in this world could frame his woman and get away with it. It was time for Bella Sloan to be taught a lesson!

Luke's penetrating gaze met with Bianca's misty eyes.

Tears welled up in Bianca's eyes when she saw the unwavering trust in Luke's eyes.

Luke’s love had always touched her. With him next to her, she felt that the thorny path of life was filled with fragrant blooms.

She was lucky to have him!
