Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 561-The Tyrant’s Threat...
Late at night.
Bianca was dreaming of being framed for cheating on the test.
In the dream, Bella was pointing condescendingly at herself and shouting at her that she was a shameless cheater!
The crowd around her were looking at her impassively. Some of them were even laughing and insulting her together with Bella!
No one believed that she was innocent!
"No, I'm not..." Bianca was flustered. She tried to explain to the people around her, but no one believed her.
"Bianca, you cheater, you've ruined your future. Don't ever think of becoming an architect ever again. I say, people like you don't deserve to live!" Bella in the dream was laughing maliciously.
Suddenly, she opened her bloody mouth and morphed into a fanged beast. It pounced toward Bianca and reached for her neck.
"No! I didn't cheat! Why doesn't anyone believe me?"
Bianca screamed in panic and suddenly opened her eyes.
The scenes in the nightmare were still fresh in her mind. Her heart was thumping wildly, and her back was drenched with sweat.
"Bea..." Bianca's screams woke Luke up.
Looking at how panicked she was, Luke hugged her tightly and comforted her, ' Don't be afraid. You were only having a bad dream.”
Bianca was panting, and her body was shaking.
Luke could feel her body tremble in his arms.
"I really didn't cheat. Why don't they believe me?" She frowned and she could feel her heart ache.
Luke propped Bianca up. Then, he went to the kitchen and got her a glass of warm water. "Why wouldn’t anyone believe you? Silly girl, I trust you one hundred percent. Moreover, that Julie girl also trusts you. Don't overthink this. You should rest now, and I'll get to the bottom of it and prove your innocence."
Bianca took a few deep breaths and slowly sipped the warm water. She felt a little better, but she was still uneasy.
"Good girl. Don't think of anything now. Sleep, and everything will be better, " Luke helped Bianca lie down again.
He turned off the wall light. Then, he gently patted Bianca's back, like coaxing a child to sleep.
Bianca held Luke's hand and felt safe.
Soon, she fell into a deep sleep once more.
Some time later, it started drizzling.
Luke held Bianca's warm and fragrant body in his arms, worried that she might be stricken by nightmares again.
He listened to the sound of the rain outside. He barely slept that night.
The rain stopped after dawn. The sun came out again, and several white clouds hung in the distant sky.
The morning sunlight shone through the windows. Occasionally, one could hear the slight sound of water droplets falling from the roof and splashing on the stone tiles.
Luke was already awake, and he had brushed his teeth.
He watched her sleeping face without saying a word. She was curled up in her sleep, seemingly in a defensive pose.
He remembered that Bianca used to be mischievous and gentle, and her face would be animated by a variety of expressions. She would always smile brightly at him.
Now...
Luke sighed. His calloused fingers gently caressed Bianca's delicate face.
Her skin was as smooth as the finest silk.
Her petite face was only as big as his palm. It was so delicate that it evoked pity.
Her pink lips were slightly dry.
Luke could not help but lower his head and give her a deep kiss...
Bianca was awakened by the kiss. She groggily opened her eyes.
She rubbed her eyes as though she was not fully awake yet.
When her gaze focused on Luke's face in front of her, she smiled brightly." Good morning."
Luke gently nibbled on her lips and said softly, "Good morning, darling."
A shade of red spread across Bianca's cheeks.
Even though they were together for a long time, she still felt embarrassed by those intimate motions so early in the morning.
"Shall we go on an outing to the countryside today?" He whispered next to her ear.
Bianca was surprised. "Why the sudden desire to visit the countryside?"
Luke playfully pinched her nose. "I've been tied up with work lately. I was either in the company or out for business engagements, and I didn't spend much time with you and the children. I'd like to make up for that. Now that things are less busy at the company, I can afford to spend more time with you. You were recuperating at home for so long, and I think some fresh air would be good for you. It's Saturday today, and the children don't need to go to school. Let's go and have a picnic."
Bianca was not in the mood for a picnic because the results of the investigation were not out yet.
When she saw Luke's expectant gaze and remembered how the children had been complaining to her that their Daddy was not spending time with them, she nodded. "Alright."
Sean brought the children to the mansion.
When they heard that Daddy and Mommy were bringing them to the countryside, they were so happy that they almost lost their minds.
After breakfast, the family sat in the car. Just when Luke drove the car out of the garage, Bianca could see several luxury off-road cars lined up in a row in front of the mansion.
A crowd of adults and children were standing in front of those cars.
There was the cool and beautiful Percy Mallory, the funny Jim Holston and his son Simon, the pregnant Scarlett Quincy, and Louis, who seemed to be still half-asleep.
Bianca looked at Luke in surprise.
"It won't be as fun if it's just us. It so happened that they're free today, so they're coming along with us," Luke explained.
Bianca nodded. "Indeed, it's more fun when there's a crowd. What a coincidence that they're all free today!" "...’ The rest of the people were speechless.
'It's not a coincidence at all, Sis!
'We're terribly busy!
'It's just that someone said that his wife was in a bad mood, and he threatened all of us to come along to cheer up his wife!'
The men lamented that Luke had transformed from a chaste and self- respecting man to a wife-doting maniac.
'Why can't he entertain his wife himself? What's the meaning of dragging all of us along?'
However, no one dared to complain. Luke had said that they would bear the consequences if they did not come along.
They were terrified of Luke!
They knew that their good friend might seem gentlemanly and harmless, but he was more sinister and cunning than any of them!
If any of them dared to disobey him, he could easily throw a wrench in their business. That would be an undeserved disaster!
Thus, they cleared their schedules so that they could cheer up the tyrant's wife...
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 562- I Have No Retort To That...
Luke and the others drove their cars to Misty Mountain.
Misty Mountain boasted fantastic scenery. The mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, as though it was part of a fantasy dreamscape. Every year, it attracted tourists from many countries.
Surrounded by several mountain peaks was a waterfall with a lake at the bottom. The water was clear and reflected the blueness of the sky, which was why it was called Azure Waterfall.
The group of people went to the Cottage in the Clouds, a popular lodge located next to Azure Waterfall. It was built entirely with logs, though the interior was spacious and comfortable.
The owner of the lodge was a young couple. They seemed to be loving toward each other.
The male was tall and gentlemanly, while the female was beautiful and diligent. They were dressed in unique ethnic wear.
They received Luke, Bianca, and the others with warm smiles.
Even though they could see that the guests were dressed in luxurious clothes, they did not treat them any differently than other guests. That gave the guests a better impression of the hosts.
Bianca was instantly captivated by the beautiful scenery and temporarily forgot her worries. She happily took Scarlett's hand and walked around the place with the children.
Luke was smoking next to the waterfall. When he heard Bianca was laughing with Scarlett and the children, he smiled slightly too.
It was a correct decision for him to bring Bianca out. All he wanted to see was Bianca laughing without worry.
The four men reclining on rattan chairs next to the waterfall had different temperaments, but they all had the same awkward expressions on their faces.
The eager and passionate Jim was the first to break the silence among the men. "I say, Boss, why did you drag us along when your wife is the one in a bad mood? You say that it's a good day to be outdoors, but it's in the middle of June and the sun is blazing. What's the point of a picnic? Also, don't you think that it's weird that we men are sitting together looking at each other?"
Luke, who was reclining on a rattan chair, was looking at Bianca.
He was in a good mood, seeing that Bianca was smiling. "Why are you complaining when I'm giving you the chance to take a breather? I know that you're busy with developing your business and breaking new ground, but you ought to find some time to rest. You're never going to make all the money in the world, and you should learn how to take it easy and enjoy life. What's the point of making money then?"
Jim facepalmed. "I have no retort to that..."
Meanwhile, Percy said sarcastically, "That's a grandiose excuse, Mr.
Crawford, but I think the real reason that you invite us on this outing is that you don't know how to coax your wife, and you're trying to ask us for any tips. Unfortunately, I can't help you at all. To me, women are nothing but trouble. If you want help, you should ask Jim or your brother. They're very experienced." "Ahem... what do you mean, Percy?" Louis said, "What do you mean when you say that we're experienced? I date many women, but you can't say that I'm a playboy. I'm saving the hearts of all the women out there. Think about it, those women flock to me. If I reject them, their fragile hearts would be hurt. If my rejection drives them to suicide, then I'd be a sinner. That’s why I'm not a playboy but a savior."
The other men looked at Louis contemptuously.
That was the first time that someone had given such a virtuous definition of being a womanizer.
Louis rubbed his nose, covered his face with a straw hat, and decided that he should keep his mouth shut.
Luke stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, then reclined on the rattan chair and rested his head on his hands. "The scenery here is beautiful, and it does allow for one to temporarily forget the bustle of the city. I think this is what Coleridge is trying to express when he talks about his white- flowered jasmine and broad-leaved myrtle." i
His well-built body swayed rhythmically along with the rattan chair.
Next to each chair was a log table on which a pot of fragrant floral tea was placed.
The sky in the mountains was very blue, so blue that it looked like a blanket covering the earth, and one would be able to touch a fluffy cloud if they reached out.
Next to the waterfall was a centuries-old tree with dense branches and leaves. There was also an old tree stump half-immersed in the lake, its rings recording the passage of time. Occasionally, some birds would swoop over the surface of the lake, catch a small fish with its talons, and flit above the canopy. It was a scene filled with the vibrancy of life.
Nowhere to be seen were the brutal struggles in the business world or the greed and desires of man. Everything seemed so natural and at ease.
Jim frowned slightly when he saw Luke relaxing on the chair. "I say, Luke, don't tell me that we're just going to sit here for the entire afternoon? I know that the scenery here is beautiful, but I have a deal..."
A pebble the size of the penny and smeared with mud flew into Jim's mouth. He nearly choked on it.
Louis laughed at Jim's misfortune and gestured a thumbs-up at Percy.
Jim's face was red as he glared at his unsympathetic friends.
He coughed hard several times, but the pebble remained stuck. He could only stick his finger into his mouth in an attempt to dig it out.
Then, he washed his mouth several times and shot a murderous glare at Percy. "Are you itching for a fight, Mallory? What did I do to you that you have to feed me rocks and mud?"
Luke smiled amiably. "Jim, if you can beat Percy in a fight, half of my T Corporation is yours."
To be honest, he would never beat Percy in a fight. Who could defeat that cold-blooded walking calamity anyway?
Percy glanced at Jim coldly. "You don't know how to enjoy life. Looks like you're destined to a lifetime of toil." "Pah!" Jim spat. Then, he washed his mouth again with some tea. He would really like to beat up Percy.
At that moment, Bianca, Scarlett, and the three children returned.
Bianca noticed that the atmosphere was rather tense. Just when she was about to ask what happened, Jim's anger and resentment disappeared when he saw Scarlett...
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 563- He Was Stripping Her With His Gaze!
When Scarlett saw Jim, her grip on Simon's hand became tighter, and her clear eyes were fraught with unease.
She even timidly hid behind the little boy, even though his height only reached her thigh.
Jim was angry when he saw how Scarlett was trying to avoid him.
However, he was not going to lose his temper in front of everyone, and so he glared at his precious son.
Simon grinned at his father and clung to Scarlett's leg as though he was claiming dominance over her.
At that moment, Jim had the urge to toss his son into the lake!
However, he was also frustrated seeing how Scarlett was not keen to get close to him.
His eager gaze was transfixed on her body, as though he was going to strip her clothes away with his eyes!
Scarlett averted his hungry gaze and tried to strike up a conversation with Bianca to alleviate the awkward atmosphere.
The two women standing together was a charming sight, even though they were pregnant.
They were beautiful in different ways.
Bianca did not wear any makeup. Her skin was as fair as the finest ivory and seemed to glow under the sunlight. Her eyes were still as water. Her smile was the most dazzling part of her face. When she smiled, her eyes would narrow into crescent moons and sparkle animatedly. It was a comforting sight.
Scarlett also did not wear any makeup, and she looked younger and more tender. There was a hint of melancholy on her delicate face that evoked pity. Perhaps it was because of her environment when she grew up.
Luke stood up from the rattan chair when he saw Bianca return. He hugged her waist and turned to speak to the other men. "Enjoy yourselves here. I'll bring her around for a walk." "I wanna go too, Daddy!" Rainie said coyly. She was dressed in a tracksuit and held on tightly to Bianca's hand.
Luke bent over and patted his daughter's head indulgently. "Good girl, Daddy and Mommy will be back soon. You can stay here with your uncles, or you can play with Lanie and Simon. Don't wander too far away though."
Louis spread his arms toward Rainie and smiled. "Come to Uncle Louis, my pretty niece! You shouldn't interfere with your parents' private time."
Rainie pouted. She wanted to play with her parents, but when her Uncle Louis said that her parents wanted to spend some private time, she let go of Bianca and ran reluctantly toward her uncle.
"Good girl. Let me give you a hug. Oh my, my Rainie is the prettiest little princess!" Louis hugged the little girl and spun around.
Louis's fatherly instincts flared when he hugged the soft little girl in his arms and smelled her milky body fragrance. He thought that when he would become a father, he would want a cute little girl like Rainie too!
Rainie giggled in her uncle's arms. She grabbed his cheeks and planted a kiss on his face. "You've become more handsome too, Uncle Louis. You're almost as handsome as my father!"
Louis could not stop grinning. His niece was such a charmer!
He lifted Rainie high and made all sorts of funny faces. His niece laughed and did not want to go away.
Seeing that Rainie was comfortable with Louis, Luke was about to leave with Bianca when Simon suddenly barged in.
The little boy pointed a plump finger at Louis and said unhappily, "Put Rainie down now, Uncle Louis. I won't be happy if you keep hugging her!"
Louis glanced at Simon, surprised. "What's wrong with you, brat? Why are you not happy with me hugging my niece?"
Simon puffed up his cheeks. "Rainie will be my future wife. My Daddy said that only I can hug my wife and no one else can. That's why you can't hug
Rainie!"
Everyone was speechless.
A rare hint of a smile appeared on Percy's grim face. He glanced at Jim deliberately.
Jim did not know how to respond to that.
That was what he told his son at home because his son did not want to let go of Scarlett.
Louis was shocked. He laughed as he looked at the stumpy little boy. "You don't even have hair down there, and you're already thinking of getting a wife? That's the funniest joke I've ever heard! Also, if you want to marry my niece, have you asked permission from Uncle Luke?"
He turned to look at Luke. Knowing how protective his elder brother was, Luke was not going to marry his daughter away so easily.
Simon grunted smugly and tottered toward Luke. "Would you let Rainie be my wife, Uncle Luke?"
Bianca looked at the little boy's overly handsome face and eager eyes.
She felt as though her heart was melting.
She hurriedly replied, "Of course..." "Not!" Luke frowned and took over Bianca's sentence. "Rainie is still young.
We can discuss it in the future."
Lanie was also very protective of his sister. He glanced at Simon and said candidly, "I won't let my sister marry you, Simon. You're too weak, and you can't protect her."
Simon was angry at the public criticism he received. He opened his eyes wide and retorted loudly, "I'm not weak at all! I'm very strong!"
In a show of strength, he waved his little fists at the other people.
The adults could not help but chuckle at his childish actions.
Rainie glared at Simon and buried her face in Louis's chest. She did not want to look at him.
She thought that Simon was a detestable little boy. Not only did he always bully her in school, but he wanted to marry her. She did not want to be that little demon's wife!
Lanie grunted condescendingly.
That riled Simon even more. He pointed his plump finger at Lanie and challenged him, "You think that I'm weak, Lanie. Do you want to fight?"
Those two boys from wealthy families had received martial arts training since they were young. That way, they can stay healthy and also protect themselves from harm. They had martial arts masters as
private tutors.
Naturally, Lanie accepted Simon's challenge.
'Hmph. Do you think you deserve to marry my sister? You'll have to convince me with your fists!'
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 564- Wouldn't the CEO of T Corporation Be A Mafia Boss?
The adults were interested when the two little fellows said that they were going to spar.
Even Luke and Bianca stayed to watch the show with the others.
Soon, the two little boys started to trade blows.
Lanie was well-trained in martial arts, and each punch and kick exuded power. Simon was not as well- trained, but he was used to brawling with other kids, and he was a more experienced fighter than Lanie. For a moment, no one knew who would be the winner.
If they continued with the fight, they would not gain anything except for new bruises.
"Stop fighting, boys. You'll hurt yourselves. Please stop..." At first, Bianca thought that it would be fun watching them play with each other. However, she soon became nervous when she saw that the two meant business. She wanted to go forward and pull them apart.
Luke stopped her. He was quite interested in watching the children fight.
The two boys had already disliked each other. Lanie thought that Simon was being a pest to his sister and ought to be taught a lesson, while Simon hated Lanie for not letting him get close to Rainie.
The two brats were rivals, and they were excited to fight each other.
They also wanted to know who was the better fighter between the two, so neither wanted to give up.
Bianca and Scarlett looked at each other. They could see the worry in each other's eyes.
Bianca turned around and looked pleadingly at Luke, hoping that he would intervene.
Luke patted Bianca's shoulder, indicating that she should not worry.
The man took one big step forward, reached out, and grabbed their shirt collars like an eagle grabbing prey. With one boy in each hand, he returned to Bianca.
The two little boys struggled with all their might, trying to breathe because Luke was lifting them by their collars. Their faces were bright red.
However, they glared at each other fiercely, still trying to land a hit on the other party!
Luke tossed them onto the grass and glared coldly at Simon. "Do you want to marry my daughter, Simon Holston? Not only do you have to convince Lanie, but you'll also have to convince me. Don't even think of marrying her if you can't do that."
Simon looked at Luke, who towered over him. He felt a little discouraged.
Then, he grunted unhappily at Lanie, who was gloating.
He stole a glance at his father, who gave him an encouraging gesture.
Then, he looked at Rainie's adorable face as she talked to her uncle. His confidence and fighting spirit was ignited again.
Lanie's father might be powerful, but his Daddy was very cool too!
Once, he saw his Daddy defeat four bad guys with knives to save Aunt Scarlett!
He was his Daddy's son. He might be young now, but he would one day be stronger than Daddy or even Rainie's Daddy. Eventually, Rainie would take his hand and be his wife!
After the entertaining episode, Luke and Bianca walked along Azure Waterfall.
The waterfall was extremely tall and wide, and one could not see the other end. The waterfall formed a natural lake below it. Along the lakeside, many unnamed flowers were in full bloom, forming a stark contrast with the blue lake water.
It was a refreshing sight.
Luke hugged Bianca and walked along the lakeside.
The man was dressed in casual clothes, but that did not diminish his handsomeness. His noble demeanor was unforgettable.
He protected Bianca as though she was a pearl in his hands. It was an enviable sight.
Some tourists spotted the perfect couple and secretly took photos of them.
Luke and Bianca walked forward while admiring the scenery, but they did not realize that to other people, they had become the scenery.
Behind them, a middle-aged couple was strolling with their daughter.
They seemed content as they looked at their healthy and lively daughter.
However, the woman sighed when she was reminded of the impending forced demolition of their home.
"Cohen, why do you think that the demolition team is so arrogant? They've threatened to cut off our electricity and water supply. They’re not workers but hooligans and gangsters! They said that they're a subsidiary company of T Corporation, they have a lot of influence, and they wouldn't mind resorting to extreme measures if we insist on not moving! If the underlings are already so brazen, wouldn't the CEO of T Corporation be a mafia boss?"
The man was balding. He worked hard all year round, which made him look old and haggard.
Softly, he coaxed, "Don't fret it, my wife. The house belongs to us, so what can they do if we insist on staying? Are they going to kill us all? We're a lawful society now. If they dare to get violent on us, we'll go to the police. I don't believe that won't scare them away!" "So what if we go to the police? Those businessmen must be in cahoots with them..." The middle-aged woman sighed even more heavily.
The middle-aged man bit his lip. "We're here on an outing with our daughter after she managed to survive the ordeal. If she sees you sighing, she won't be happy either. Things will turn out fine, my wife. If we insist on staying, they won't be able to move us. If they use violence, then we'll publicize the incident. We'll go to the media... Media outlets are more useful than before. T Corporation wouldn't want their reputation to be ruined!"
The middle-aged woman wanted to say something, but she was shocked when she saw Luke and Bianca walking in front of her!
She elbowed the middle-aged man and pointed happily at Luke and Bianca. "Look! Aren't they our benefactors?"
The little girl who was skipping ahead of them heard what her mother said and looked in that direction. She was instantly excited. "Yes, that's the nice couple that helped me! I'll go and say hi to them..."
After that, the girl happily ran toward Luke and Bianca.
The middle-aged man looked at the couple and recognized that they were indeed their benefactors.
He instantly became emotional. Together with his wife, they ran toward the couple.
When Luke helped Bianca sit on a bench, a crisp girly voice rang out. "Good afternoon, Sir and Madam! Do you remember me? I'm Shania."
Luke and Bianca turned to look. They saw an eight or nine-year-old girl in a white baseball jersey and a black cap looking at them expectantly.
Luke furrowed his brows. He did not have any impression of that unremarkable little girl.
However, Bianca remembered her.
The last time she saw Shania was more than half a year ago, but she instantly recognized her.
Shania was the girl that they helped last winter after listening to her story on the radio.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 565- Candidly Announcing Bianca's Status
"You're Shania who was terribly ill last year?" Bianca ventured.
The girl nodded happily, and Bianca smiled. "How are you recovering? Are your parents fine?"
Bianca remembered that Shania used to be skeletally thin because of her illness.
Now, she was spirited and energetic, totally different from what she was before. She should be in good health.
"I'm so happy that you remember me, Madam! Thanks to your help, I went for surgery last winter, and my condition has been improving since. Look, I'm very healthy now." Shania twirled around in front of Luke and Bianca.
Bianca could not help but laugh at how energetic the little girl looked.
She pinched Shania's face and said gently, "Not bad. You look a lot better than before. There's so much color on your face now." "Thank you, Madam." Shania smiled shyly.
She became curious when she saw Bianca's bulging stomach. "Are you pregnant, Madam?" "Yes, I'm bearing another life in my womb now." Bianca lovingly caressed her stomach.
Shania blinked. She wanted to ask about the twins.
The twins left a lasting impression on her. They were the ones who had given her a ray of hope, and she persevered in her treatment so that she could meet them again.
At that moment, Shania's parents arrived.
The middle-aged couple was moved to tears when they saw Bianca and Luke. They said many words of gratitude.
With tears in their eyes, they told their daughter, "Shania, thank these kind people. They're the ones who helped pay for your surgery. They're the ones who gave you hope. Don't ever forget your benefactors."
Shania bowed primly at Luke and Bianca and said, "Thank you for helping me, Sir and Madam. I shall always be grateful." "Don't mention it. Your health is the most important." Bianca was slightly flustered by how eager the couple was.
She did not provide much help. After all, Luke was the one who gave the couple the money.
However, the man seemed impassive. He only replied to the middle-aged couple's words of gratitude with a short grunt. Bianca felt awkward by how cold Luke was.
After chatting with the couple for a while, Bianca left with Luke.
She was overwhelmed by that couple's gratitude.
On the other hand, Bianca was happy that Shania was healthy. That way, the couple's lives would be easier, and they would definitely be a happy family.
She thought that it was their last interaction.
She did not expect that their next meeting would end in tragedy. 1
After saying goodbye to the couple and their daughter, Luke and Bianca continued walking forward.
Considering Bianca's pregnancy, Luke picked secluded paths. His strong arm hugged Bianca tightly and prevented people from bumping into her.
Bianca was getting tired from walking, but she did not want to say it.
After all, they had sat down just earlier.
Many elderly men and women were hiking around the lake, and they moved faster than her. She did not want to be weaker than them.
Luke had been observing Bianca's movements. He could tell that Bianca was tired.
He wanted to bring her to the countryside because Johann told him that Bianca had a weak constitution and she needed the exercise so that the delivery process would be smooth. That was why he insisted on walking with her.
However, he felt sorry when he saw that Bianca's face was turning red. He decided that Bianca should not walk anymore.
He instantly picked her up in a bridal carry, ignoring her protests. He brought her to a stone bench and gently placed her down.
On the next bench was an old couple in their sixties.
The old woman smiled kindly when she saw how loving Luke and Bianca were. "You're so nice to your wife, laddie. How many months pregnant is your wife?"
Bianca lowered her head shyly. Her face was as red as a tomato.
"My wife is about five months pregnant," Luke candidly announced Bianca's identity, then hugged her tightly. He seemed satisfied and indulgent when he did so.
The man was using a lot of strength, but he did not hurt her.
Bianca did not want to be too intimate in front of the old couple. She wanted to push him away, but he held her even more tightly.
"The two of you are so loving toward each other. You must be married for less than a year, right?" The old woman was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looked kind. "She looks so delicate. You ought to treat your wife kindly. It's very exhausting to be pregnant."
The old man sitting next to the old woman also nodded.
"Of course." Luke slightly lowered his head and made his promise to the old couple.
The old couple smiled and nodded. After saying goodbye, they helped each other up and walked in the other direction.
Bianca watched the old couple as they walked away. She realized how blissful it would be for two people to willingly accompany each other until they were old.
She hoped that she would grow old with Luke too.
Even when the old couple disappeared from view, Bianca was still looking in that direction.
Luke twisted her head back to face her. "They're already gone, silly girl.
What are you looking at?" "That old couple is so loving to each other. I guess that's what you call true love. Old couples are the most precious. It means that they've loved each other for their entire lives."
Luke smiled and gently pinched her pink earlobe. "We'll love each other even more," he said confidently.
The wind in the mountains was cool and refreshing.
Bianca's head rested on Luke's chest, taking in his masculine scent and bodily warmth.
In front of them was a cliff that was over a hundred feet tall. Small streams of water flowed down the cliff wall like a beautiful painting in mid-air.
It was a breathtaking sight.
Meanwhile, Jim forced Scarlett to go "hiking."
She wanted to decline. Firstly, she feared the man and did not want to be alone with her.
Secondly, she was pregnant, and she would tire very fast.
"Where are you taking me? This place is so dark and creepy. I want to go back..." Scarlett was starting to panic as Jim dragged her along.
It was early summer, and even sunlight could not penetrate the thick canopy of leaves.
The dark mountain forest was indescribably creepy.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 566- Bianca Could Not Believe What She Heard
Jim did not say a word. His face was scrunched up, and veins bulged on his temples. It seemed that he was trying to hold back intense anger!
He continued to drag her deeper up the mountains!
Scarlett was very tired. She wanted to suggest taking a rest, but she dared not. Instead, she tried to keep up.
Suddenly, Jim pinned her on a thick and sturdy tree, and she shrieked in panic. "Ahh! Let go of me! What do you want?"
Angrily, Jim pressed his lips onto Scarlett's lips, not giving her the chance to escape.
"Jim, you're... you're hurting me..." Scarlett struggled and shoved timidly. Tears were welling up in his eyes.
Jim ignored her protests. He continued kissing her overbearingly, drawing blood from her lips. 1
Scarlett's eyes were filled with tears of humiliation and resentment, and they silently flowed down her cheeks.
She stopped struggling. However, her piteous looks only made Jim angrier!
Jim gripped so tightly that Scarlett's jaw was almost crushed to pieces. His eyes were bloodshot. "Look at how pitiful you are. How moving your tears are! Why were you crying next to the lake, Scarlett Quincy? Are you still thinking of that man? You haven't forgotten him, have you? How dare you think of him while you're with me!"
Scarlett lifted her head tiredly and looked at Jim.
Tears stained her long and black eyelashes. She looked like she was going to fall any time. "I didn't. I wasn't thinking of him. I... I was moved by the beautiful scenery. I'm sorry, I won't do that again. Can you... let go of me..." "You’re lying! We share a bed every night, and you either stare blankly at the ceiling or secretly cry. You were even whispering that man's name while you were next to the lake. Do you think that I'm deaf and can't hear you talking to yourself? You're so loyal, Scarlett, you truly love him!" Fires of jealousy burned in Jim’s eyes.
"He already left. I don't know where he is now..." Scarlett cried even harder. She looked like she was in pain. "I'm no bearing your child, Jim Holston. What else do you want from me?" "I don't want you to think of other men. If I catch you doing that again. I'll kill him!" Jim held on firmly to Scarlett's shoulders as though he wanted to crush them. His gaze was ferocious and hungry like a wolf.
Scarlett's complexion became paler. Tears did not stop falling from her eyes.
Her delicate shoulders were trembling slightly. It was a pitiful sight.
However, Jim became angrier when he saw her cry!
Was she crying for that man?
Did she still love that man?
The fact pierced his heart like a knife. He wanted to strangle the woman in front of him!
He flipped Scarlett over, took off her pants, and started violating her." Remember, I am your man!"
Scarlett sobbed. She was a conservative woman, and she felt incredibly humiliated. 1
The fear that she was seen by other people, the humiliation that the man had subjected her, and her inability to push him away caused her to gasp for breath while she cried.
Suddenly, she felt pain in her womb, and she furrowed her brows.
She gritted her teeth, not allowing herself to make a sound...
Jim was overcome by jealousy, and he deliberately did not look at
Scarlett's face. He did not notice that there was something wrong with her.
It was when Scarlett passed out and a warm red fluid flowed out from beneath her that Jim stepped away in panic, i "Scarlett!" He came to his senses and called out her name.
He carried her and ran crazily toward the lodge.
Luke gently massaged Bianca's feet for a while, then let her soak her feet in the lake for a while. However, he remembered what Johann told him.
A pregnant woman should not soak herself in cold water for too long.
He dried Bianca's feet and put on her socks and shoes for her. Then, he helped her stand up.
The mountain path was rugged. Luke picked Bianca off her feet and carried her back.
The tourists saw the following scene: A tall and incredibly handsome man was carrying a pregnant woman in a bridal carry, walking along the mountain path that followed the stream.
The man's stride was steady, as though the woman in his arms was as heavy as a doll.
The woman in his arms was hugging his neck. Occasionally, she whispered something in his ears.
The man listened to her indulgently. He was smiling without showing a hint of impatience or tiredness.
Bianca blushed when she noticed that the tourists were staring at her. She buried her face in Luke's chest, not used to being the focus of attention.
"Look at that loving couple. It must be nice to be young." Some old couples commented when they saw them.
"Look at how considerate that man is to his wife! He’s also so handsome and caring. He must be a good husband! I don't care, darling, you must carry me..." When a young couple saw that scene, the female pretended to be angry and asked her boyfriend to do the same as Luke.
"That woman's pregnant, and that's why he's carrying her. When you marry me and bear me a child, I'll also carry you like that, heheh..." The young man said that, but carried his girlfriend anyway.
Some foreign tourists were speaking in their native language but gestured a thumbs-up at Luke.
All the people were smiling at them, but they did not have any malice in their eyes. They had nothing but blessings for such a loving couple.
Bianca buried her face in Luke's chest on the entire trip back.
Luke wanted to bring Bianca to other places.
However, his expression sank after he answered a phone call. "We'll have to go back now. Something happened..." "What's wrong? Is it Lanie and Rainie..." Bianca's heart skipped a beat. The first people she thought of were her children.
"Scarlett Quincy miscarried."
Bianca was shocked. She could not believe what she heard.
Scarlett was still fine before they left. Why did she miscarry all of a sudden?
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 567-A New Development
Scarlett did not manage to save her baby.
When Bianca met her in the hospital ward, she seemed paler and weaker than ever.
Her face was ashen with despair, and her gaze was vacant as though her soul had left her body.
"Scarlett...’ Bianca felt sorry for the young woman.
She gently held Scarlett's slender arm. "Don't be too sad. Take care of your body. Your health is more important, and you can still bear children next time..." "No, I won't. I won't ever bear children anymore..." Scarlett shook her head slightly. She was in despair. "He was the one who got rid of the baby. That's fine. That unwelcome life won't experience happiness anyway..."
She was not fond of that baby at all. However, she eventually learned to accept the life in her womb and even anticipated its arrival.
Scarlett thought that she would not mind losing that baby, but she did not expect it to hurt so much.
Bianca was at a loss for words.
She could see that Jim cared for Scarlett a lot and cared for the baby in her womb even more. Why would he be the one to get rid of Scarlett's baby?
When Bianca came to her senses, she stood up abruptly and said to Scarlett, "Jim has gone overboard. The child is nonetheless his. How could he be so cruel? I'll ask him to find out." "No, don’t." Scarlett shook her head.
Ignoring Scarlett's attempts to stop her, Bianca opened the door and went to look for Jim.
The moment she opened the door, she saw that Jim was standing outside.
His eyes were tired and bloodshot, and his handsome face looked haggard. What was most shocking was that Bianca could see streaks of tears on his rugged face.
On a bench behind him, Luke was sitting on a bench while smoking. He seemed to be frustrated about something.
"You..." When she saw Jim's face, she could not bear to say any of the accusatory words that she had prepared.
Jim did not look like someone who would cry easily. Scarlett's miscarriage must have given him a huge blow.
"How is Scarlett, Sis?" Jim's worry on his face was evident, but he seemed hesitant to step into the ward.
Bianca felt sorry for Jim when she saw that he was feeling guilty. "She’s very affected by the miscarriage, and her emotions are unstable now.
Scarlett is a good girl, and she's quite innocent. You should treat her better next time. Don't let her go through this experience again. After all, a miscarriage is very damaging to a woman's health."
Jim clenched his fists tightly, and the sorrow and guilt in his eyes became more intense. "Mm..."
He stepped into the ward and closed the door.
Bianca could hear Scarlett wailing loudly and telling him to get lost!
She was shocked by Scarlett's reaction. She knew that women were usually emotionally unstable after a miscarriage, and they should not be agitated.
She knocked on the door, but Luke stopped her.
"This is between the two of them, Bea. You shouldn't be involved. Let's go home for now. Jim will handle it." Luke took Bianca's hand and prepared to lead her outside.
"I'm worried that Scarlett might do something stupid..." Bianca said worriedly.
"Don't worry. She'll be fine with Jim looking after her. You're also a pregnant woman, and you need rest. Take care of yourself first." Luke felt helpless about how Bianca loved to get herself involved in other people's affairs.
"But..." Bianca wanted to continue speaking, but Luke picked her up by the waist and walked out of the hospital.
As he walked, he told Bianca, "Can't you see that Jim was equally sad when Scarlett miscarried? They will have to solve their own problems, and Scarlett will have to overcome her own mental obstacles. If she can't get over it, all your talking will only be in vain."
Bianca did not reply. Indeed, Scarlett would have to help herself before she could help her.
A few days later, at T Corporation.
Jason was still looking for evidence. 2
Luke discouraged Bianca from going to work. He was worried that the rumors and gossip in the office might affect her. After all, Bianca was someone with high self-esteem.
However, Bianca insisted on going to work. She felt that skipping work at this time would only reinforce the impression that she was guilty.
Luke could only agree.
Bianca did not expect to be greeted by prejudiced gazes the moment she stepped into the company.
Thanks to Bella spreading the news, the entire T Corporation knew about the cheating incident.
Some colleagues in the design department who were closer to Bianca knew that she was not someone who would cheat.
However, things were different with her colleagues from other departments. Bianca's relationship with the CEO was an open secret, and even though she had tried to prove herself multiple times, she could not shake off the impression that she got to where she was because of that man. However, those people dared not say anything because they feared their boss.
Sue and Nina were very protective of Bianca. They did not hesitate to argue with anyone who badmouthed her.
One of them was a pregnant lady, and the other had a fiery temper. They had mercilessly rebuked anyone in the design department who dared to badmouth Bianca. For a while, everyone kept it down. 1
Bianca was grateful for their care toward her.
She was uncomfortable about the negative opinions of her, but she had to bear with it for now.
Bella stepped into the design department in her high heels, still as arrogant as usual.
She walked in front of Bianca and started to mock her. "Wow, Bianca, I didn't expect that you would dare to show up to work even after you’ve cheated on the test! If I were you, I'd resign and hide at home!" 1
Bianca tried to hold back the hatred in her heart as she gazed coldly at Bella. "Let me make myself clear again, Ms. Sloan, I did not cheat! I believe you should know better than anyone else who's really
guilty in this incident. Before a verdict is reached, let me warn you that you should watch your words! Otherwise, I'll sue you for slander! If I find out that you're involved in the incident, Bella Sloan, you should know that slander is a crime, right?"
Bella was intimidated by Bianca's sharp gaze. However, she pretended to be nonchalant. "Hmph! You can stick to your story, but you'll soon find out the consequences!"
Then, she sheepishly slunk away.
Bianca calmed herself down and focused on her work.
She believed that the truth would surface one day and that Luke would restore her innocence.
Indeed, three days later, there was a new development to the cheating incident.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 569- Her Fate Was In Bianca's Hands
Mavis stood up calmly and walked toward Bella with her chest puffed.
Bella trembled and did not dare to move. She gritted her teeth and said," Ms. Laviere, don't go too far! What do you want to do?”
Mavis narrowed her eyes and replied, "Ms. Sloan, it’s not what I want, but what you want."
In Mavis' eyes, Bella was nothing more than an obedient puppy.
If the puppy was behaving, she would reward her with snacks. If the puppy went against her wishes, she would give it up without a second thought.
If it were not for the fact that Bella had helped her out a few times, she would not have even bothered befriending her.
Bella yelled, "Mavis, don't think that I’ll be afraid of you just because you have something on me! It is what it is now. I'm not afraid of spilling! It's okay for my reputation to be ruined, but Ms. Laviere, what about you?
You're all high and mighty in the company. If I tell the truth, do you think that people would still respect you?" "Oh? What do you want me to do, then?" Mavis raised her eyebrow slightly.
"This happened because of you, so you have to clean up this mess for me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have plotted against Bianca. Ms. Laviere, I don't need to lay everything out for you. You're a smart woman, so you should understand what I mean." Bella's mood eased slightly.
She did not want to give Mavis an ultimatum as she still had to rely on Mavis to help her get out of this sticky situation.
Mavis sneered and thought to herself, 'Bella has learned how to threaten someone, interesting...’
Mavis whispered in Bella's ear in her most threatening tone, "Bella, I'm warning you, some things can be said out loud, and some things have to be kept deep inside of you! I have evidence of all of your bad deeds! The worst you'll be charged with for slander is a small fine and you’ll be detained for some time. If news about your graft goes out, you'll be in deep trouble! Not to mention that no one in this industry will dare to talk to you again. It’s also possible that you’ll get to enjoy free prison meals for a few years. Bella, think wisely about the path that you're about to take!"
Bella stiffened her back and looked at Mavis in disbelief. She did not expect that Mavis could be so horrible!
She smiled bleakly. Her eyes met Mavis' and she said sarcastically, "Mavis, I now understand why the CEO would choose Bianca, an ordinary woman, rather than you, someone who stayed by his side for ten years. You're selfcentered and selfish! That's why Mr. Crawford doesn't want you! If I were a man, I wouldn't want to be with a scheming bitch like you either!”
Bella's words pierced Mavis’ heart, poking her at her most painful spots!
The wounds were bleeding!
Mavis picked up a random object on her table and threw it at Bella. "Out! Get out of here!"
She screamed until her voice was hoarse.
Bella gave Mavis a pitiful look and then walked out without looking back. She slammed the door!
Mavis angrily swept all the documents on her desk to the ground!
Her anger was like a tornado that ruined everything it came across. Her eyes were filled with spite.
Bella had reminded her about the cruel reality-Luke did not love her!
However, so what if he did not love her now?
She had been in love with him for ten years, and Mavis was confident that she could continue to love him. As long as he was not married, she would still have a chance to get him!
On the other end.
Luke, Jason, Nina, and the others went to the Education Bureau with Bianca.
Mr. Yates and Julie testified for Bianca and the case quickly came to an end.
Although Bella tried her best to argue her case, there were two persuasive witnesses and physical evidence.
Jason managed to get his hand on the surveillance footage. The video was not entirely clear because the camera was far away and the angle was not great. Despite the blurry video, it was still clear that Bella Sloan had scavenged through Bianca's bag and stole her documents.
The final decision was sealed with the sound of the judge's gavel.
The Education Bureau issued an announcement to inform the public of the truth. They restored Bianca's innocence and severely condemned Bella for using improper means to slander others because of personal grievances.
Bella was suspected of defamation and was going to be taken away by the police.
Bianca finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When the police were about to take Bella away, she suddenly rushed to Bianca. She grabbed Bianca's hand and begged her, "Bianca, I'm sorry. I’m so sorry, can you forgive me? Please..."
Her life would be ruined if she went to prison!
Bianca was talking to Julie and Nina. When Bella rushed over, she could not react in time. If Luke had not held her in his arms, she would have fallen.
"Are you alright?" Luke had to make sure that Bianca was okay.
"I'm fine." Bianca shook her head lightly.
Luke shot a sharp look at Bella, his eyes bursting with anger. His voice was as cold as ice as he said, "Bella, what do you think you're doing?" "CEO..."
Luke's aura was strong, and Bella let go of Bianca's hand, terrified.
Bella knew her destiny was in the hands of Bianca. If Bianca was willing to speak up for her, her fate could change...
Bella's face was as white as paper, and her eyes were filled with tears as she played the sympathy card with Bianca. "Bianca, we've been working together for so long. I know I was a bit harsh on you but it was all for your own good. I just wanted you to quickly work your way up in the company. I admit, I did try to frame you, I sincerely apologize. My... My mom is seriously ill and I’m the only child. I have to go to the hospital to take care of her every day. If I have to go to prison, think of what would happen to my dear old mother. Can you please forgive me? I won't dare do such things again. Please, can you speak up on my behalf to the CEO..." i
When Bianca heard that Bella had to take care of her seriously ill mother, she felt a little bad. She was about to say something, "I..."
However, Luke knew Bianca well and his defensive mode was turned on as he interrupted her, "Bella, when you framed Bianca, you should’ve thought of the consequences. Bianca won’t forgive you, and I
won't either!"
Luke's voice was harsh and cold. He would never allow anyone to hurt Bianca!
"Ms. Rayne, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have hurt you like this. Please give me a chance. I promise I'll leave A City and never show up in front of you again..." Bella's tears poured.
She regretted her decisions.
She knew that there was no turning back but she still really wanted to make a plea for herself.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 570-The End Is Near
Bella knew that Bianca was kind and the CEO was obsessed with her. As long as she could put in a good word for her, then she still had a chance.
Bella had always acted high and mighty in front of Bianca.
She was too proud to beg a woman she once looked down on.
However, she had no choice but to beg Bianca under such circumstances.
Bianca stared at Bella and said coldly, "All this was determined by the Education Bureau. I have no right to interfere."
Bella's makeup was melting from all the crying. She looked extremely miserable as she said, "You can still interfere! As long as you're willing to forgive me and say a few good words in front of the CEO... Bianca, please forgive me. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life..." "Ms. Sloan, I think you have to wake up to reality. There’s solid evidence and witness statements. Nothing I do can change the decision made," Bianca replied calmly.
Besides, even if she could help Bella, she would not do that.
She asked for it!
She would never forgive Bella!
The head of the Education Bureau nodded and sneaked a look in Luke's direction. He was thinking about how to deal with this matter so that Luke would be satisfied.
It was clear that Luke and Bianca were extremely close.
"Bianca, if I go to prison, what will happen to my mother? She’s having an operation next month. What if there's no one to take care of her? We're both women, why should women embarrass other women? We’re colleagues. Please consider how I’ve helped you a lot in the workplace. Please, I beg you..." Bella went on and would not give up. She looked humble and pitiful.
She was no longer her usual proud self.
Nina could no longer stand Bella and started screaming at her, "Ms. Sloan, how dare you?! You've always made things difficult for Bianca in the company. You gave her projects with the heaviest workload and assigned her the worst customers. Is this what you call 'help'? Oh, I suddenly remembered one more thing. Do you remember that time when our company and Vivi Group got into a partnership? It was Bianca’s turn to speak when her data on the flash drive was corrupted, resulting in her getting scolded by the chairman of Vivi Group. I’m sure that was your doing too!"
Bella's body stiffened as her tears flowed. She hurriedly denied it, saying," No, it wasn't me. It really wasn’t me that time..."
However, she was blinking too much and her unnatural body movements betrayed her.
Luke had sharp eyes and noticed the issue at a glance.
His eyebrows were tightly furrowed together, and his eyes locked onto Bella. He was onto her.
Nina accused Bella in a righteous tone, "Are you still lying, Ms. Sloan?
Before something went wrong with Bianca's flash drive, Ms. Yanis brought everyone from the team and the representatives of Vivi Group to a dinner party. Out of the blue, you told everyone that you had a stomach ache. You told us that you had to go to the bathroom and asked us to leave first. You only showed up half an hour after we started our dinner. The next day, Bianca's flash drive was problematic. It's the same thing as what you did to Bianca now..."
Bianca remembered that time when the document she saved in the flash drive had suddenly disappeared without a trace.
When she was going through the files then, she happened to have kept the manuscript in the cabinet that was locked with a password. Her quick thinking had successfully resolved the issue back then.
Now that she thought about it, it was highly likely that Bella was behind it. What a horrible woman!
Since she joined the company, she had been plotting against her. Bianca had cold chills when she thought about it!
"It wasn't me, it really wasn't me..." Bella dared not look at others, and her pupils kept shifting about.
Luke's expression was the coldest. After all, he was the most insightful one of them all.
He had been busy with work at that time and Bianca's response was satisfactory, so he did not think too much about it. He merely thought that Bianca had been careless.
It turned out that Bella had tried to frame Bianca!
"Bella, you're amusing, indeed!" Luke said coldly.
Luke spoke in a graceful but cold voice, "Mr. Lange, do what you want to this woman!"
The chubby Mr. Lange nodded and bowed. He had a big smile as he said " Mr. Crawford, rest assured, you'll be satisfied with the end result."
Bella was almost drained of her strength. Her tear-stained face was filled with despair as she shook her head and cried out, "CEO, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have framed Ms. Rayne. Please, give me a chance. I'm sorry..."
She begged Luke and Bianca over and over until her voice went hoarse.
Bianca stood beside Luke. She looked at Bella and ignored her tears. "Ms. Sloan, if an apology could erase all sins, then think of the horrible problems that would arise in this world! When you slandered me, did you think of what would happen to me? Just because of some personal grievances, you have repeatedly targeted me and framed me, just to ruin my reputation. You're not worthy of my sympathy! It's impossible for me to forgive you! It's no use to keep begging me. The law is the law. You're wasting your time."
Bianca was kind, but she was not kind enough to forgive those who harmed her as if nothing had happened.
Bella knew that her end was near.
She stared at Bianca and wiped her tears angrily. "Are you saying that you won't help me?" "You're an adult, you have to pay for your actions," Bianca replied calmly.
Bella’s eyes were full of hatred.
She pointed at Bianca angrily and yelled, Bianca, you're a cruel woman! I curse you! You’ll never be happy, you'll be abandoned by Luke, and the evil growing in your stomach is damned! I wish you a long lonely life!" "Take this crazy woman!" Luke wanted to kick her but held back because Bella was a woman.
The police apologized to Luke and then forcibly took Bella before stuffing her into the police car.
Julie, who was hiding at the corner, held her breath. She looked on with cold indifference and thought to herself, 'What a crazy and jealous woman! Bella is terrible!
However, when her eyes fell on Luke, there was obsession and admiration.
'It would be great if I could use this opportunity to enter T Corporation...
