Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 575- Found Out About The Delivery!
Over on the other side.
Leia was sleeping amid a pile of stuffed dolls in the cozily decorated room, her body kicking and thrashing in various contorted positions.
"Ah! Snakes! Help!"
Her eyes instantly opened, her pupils wide and filled with horror.
She dreamed of countless snakes coiling around her neck, choking her. Some of them opened their mouths to tear her to pieces!
The maid, who was cleaning, heard Leia's screams. She immediately put down the vacuum cleaner, wanting to run to Leia's room to check on her.
However, a figure in high heels dashed straight into Leia's room faster than her!
Queenie unlocked the door from the outside and took Leia, who was in bed, into her arms. "Leia, did you have another nightmare? Mom's here. Good girl, don't be afraid..."
Leia nestled in Queenie's arms. "Mom, I'm so scared. Now that my career and reputation are gone, I'm even afraid to go outside. Is my life over?"
Queenie wiped her tears with a broken heart and gently chided her," Nonsense. How could my daughter's life be over? You're still young. You have plenty more chances to strive. At worst, you just have to start from scratch. It's alright not to have a career in the entertainment industry. It’s so tiring to film every day. You can follow me to the company to learn business once you've recovered."
Leia sobbed. "Mom, I love acting,"
Queenie was distraught by Leia’s tears. She repeatedly said to appease her, "Okay, whatever you say. If you like to be in showbiz and enjoy acting, I'll let you do it."
Leia burst into tears. "Mom, you're so nice to me. Will you always be so nice to me? Will you forgive me for what I've done? Will you abandon me like how my birth parents did?"
Leia's little face was so thin from her illness, and her big eyes were filled with tears as she sobbed.
Queenie's heart instantly ached and softened.
She looked at her daughter with pity and dotingly touched her nose. "What silly things are you saying? I promise I won't abandon you. I'll forgive you and treat you as well as I do now. You are my precious daughter, after all."
Queenie did not see the glimmering green light under Leia's blanket as she said these words.
Hidden there was a small delicate voice recorder.
Leia smiled with satisfaction and played with the recorder in her hand under the blanket. A curve appeared on the corners of her lips.
Queenie suggested, "Leia, curling up at home all day isn't healthy either.
Your Aunt Neile invited us to the golf course. I'll take you with me." "But I don't want to go out. People must be laughing at me..." Leia huddled under the blanket like an ostrich.
Queenie persisted in pulling her out of bed. "Who dares criticize you when I'm around? No one has the right to comment on my daughter! Aunt Neile hasn't seen you in ages, and she'd love to see you. There are a lot of young people like you at the golf course too. Making new friends will not only broaden your
social circle but it'll also help make you feel better." "Alright, anything you say." Leia prepared to get up when she heard that.
Those who had access to the golf course were either rich or noble. It would be good for her to make more friends.
She had to make plans for her future.
After all, her adoptive parents already knew that their biological daughter was alive.
If the true heiress was brought back to the Norman family one day, would she have a place here?
The golf course.
It was the weekend today, so the golf course was particularly bustling.
There were refined officials, graceful madams, and of course, charming heirs and beautiful elegant heiresses at the golf course.
A golf ball flew over the sandpit in a beautiful parabola, rolling steadily on the grass and precisely into the hole.
Perfect golf skills.
Shakira could not help applauding. "Queen, you’re amazing!"
Queenie was dressed in a simple short-sleeved sweatshirt and white sweatpants. Her hair was tied up in a long ponytail, which peeped out from the back of her baseball cap and swayed in the wind.
Queenie had shed her corporate sophistication, looking youthful and vigorous.
When she stood next to Leia, they looked nothing like mother and daughter but sisters instead.
"Mrs. Norman, good game!" "Mrs. Norman, your skills are such an eye-opener..." "How long did you train to get such good skills? Mrs. Norman, can you share some of your experience?"
Several other graceful madams gathered around Queenie, praising her profusely to impress her.
Queenie looked at these rich madams with a half-smile and an indifferent but elegant expression. Her gaze fell on Leia who was quietly holding the club without saying a word.
Leia obediently walked up to her and said sweetly, "Mom, you played so well."
Queenie gently touched her head. "Leia, I'll teach you how to play."
A plump woman ingratiatingly came up to them.
Pointing to a handsome young man in a black T-shirt on the golf course, she said, "Mrs. Norman, you needn't teach Ms. Norman to play. My son's a pretty good player. Why don't we let him teach Ms. Norman?"
Everyone knew Mrs. Norman's daughter was now single.
Despite the recent controversy surrounding her failed engagement to the Crawford family and Leia's recently tainted reputation in the entertainment industry, her father was still a powerful man.
The disreputable Leia was still a good bachelorette whom the families wanted to snag.
Seeing this, the other rich madams swarmed over to recommend their sons and even daughters to Queenie, hoping their children could be Leia's golf partner.
Their sons might have a chance to marry into the Norman family, and their daughters could become the Norman family's heiress' best friend.
They could more or less be associated.
Before long, Leia was surrounded by a group of handsome men and beautiful ladies who were all vying to be her golf partner.
Leia looked at her adoptive mother through the crowd and saw her smiling and nodding at her. She bit her lip, knowing she could only become the object of these people's flattery because of her adoptive parents' love for her. She could not imagine herself being ignored if their biological daughter returned.
Queenie finally smiled when she saw how quickly Leia was blending in with her new friends.
Shakira walked over to her, put her golf club on the ground, and dragged her to the VIP area to rest.
As soon as she sat down, Shakira eagerly told Queenie about what she had found during this period. "Queen, I have something to tell you. I found the basic information of the female doctor who delivered your baby..."
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 581- Luke's Brazen Declaration of Love!
"It's not like that, Mr. Crawford! Bianca was the shameless one to seduce my brother-in-law, and that's why he dared to make a move on her. That kind of woman is pretentious and fake. Don't be fooled by her innocent looks!" Melissa was distorting the truth to help Saul. 1
The Lerche family was trying to get on the Blatt family's good side. If her elder sister successfully married Saul, Lerche Corporation would grow to greater heights!
Naturally, her social status as a daughter of the Lerche family would be elevated too!
"Ms. Lerche, do you think that I'm blind or deaf?" Luke shot Melissa a sideeye. The icy gaze filled with killing intent caused Mellisa to shudder uncontrollably.
Bianca laughed out of anger. She also glared coldly at Melissa. "You really know how to lie through your teeth, Ms. Lerche. The father of the baby in my womb is tall and handsome. He's the pinnacle of masculinity. If he loves me, why would I be interested in a shallow pig?"
Jason laughed up his sleeve. He felt that Ms. Rayne was becoming more and more sharp-tongued like the boss.
Saul was furious when he heard Bianca say that about him!
If that happened on any other occasion, he would have offed that b*tch!
However, he could not lay a finger on her because she was Mr. Crawford's woman!
Melissa did not care about that. She noticed that Xavier's attention had been fully focused on Bianca ever since he entered the room. In her jealousy, she wanted to kill Bianca!
Blinded by jealousy, she was not going to let go of any chance to humiliate Bianca.
She continued to insult Bianca without stopping. "How can you insult my brother-in-law like that, you b*tch? Don't think I don't know what you're
capable of doing. You started to seduce men since you're eighteen. You're pregnant before you're married. You..."
Luke glanced at Melissa with abject hostility in his gaze. He shot a glance at the manager who followed behind him.
The male manager understood Luke's intent and waved at the security guards.
One of the security guards took out a roll of duct tape and tore a half-foot- long piece off. Then, he walked toward Melissa aggressively.
"What... do you want..." Melissa instinctively took several steps backward when she noticed that danger was imminent.
The two security guards grabbed one arm each, taped her mouth shut, and tossed her mercilessly on the floor!
The people in the room were shocked by the scene!
Nobody dared to say anything or move. Luke's presence was overbearing!
Melody's limbs started shaking. Her younger sister's mouth was taped shut, but she dared not even look at her.
Like a devil, Luke's narrowed eyes swept across the people in the room.
Several weak-willed people even took several steps back out of fright.
Eventually, Luke's gaze landed on Saul's face that was wracked with fear. "I heard that you want to be her sugar daddy, hmm?"
Saul's face went pale. Sweat poured from his face and dripped on the floor. He nearly wet his pants under Luke's frigid gaze.
He fell on his knees, trembling, and his gaze was unfocused. "Mr... Mr.
Crawford, I... I was only... joking... with Ms. Rayne..."
Luke hugged Bianca and sat down on the couch, looking down upon Saul with the authority of a king. "Just a joke? I think that you really mean it though! The heir to Blatt Corporation? Tomorrow, Blatt Corporation will be history!" 1
Jason sighed and shook his head.
Bianca was the boss's weakness. Saul was only courting death.
Saul used his left hand and slapped himself hard. "I misspoke, Mr.
Crawford. I won't do it ever again!" "Indeed, you deserve to be taught a lesson. How about this, if you slap yourself one hundred times, I might consider forgiving Blatt Corporation." Luke's tone of voice was impassive, but the threat in his words was obvious.
Saul could not stop shaking. He, as the heir of Blatt Corporation, had never experienced such humiliation.
He understood very well what Luke was capable of. To protect his family business, he started to slap himself!
He dared not slap himself too hard because it was painful. Luke said that the slaps were not loud enough. He made Saul start over and even got the manager of the nightclub to help. Saul was furious, but he was helpless.
Xavier watched the scene impassively.
Luke had nearly killed him because he desired Bianca. Xavier knew how cruel his cousin could be.
Saul's face was bloody and swollen after a hundred slaps. It was a horrific sight.
Bianca did not have any sympathy for that man. He probably had harmed many innocent women, and it was about time that someone taught him a lesson!
She began to feel that the baby in her womb was getting restless, perhaps because the air quality in the private room was bad...
She tugged Luke's shirt sleeve and said, "Let's go home, Luke. The air is murky here." "Alright." Luke thought that she was not feeling well. Ignoring her protests, he picked her up in a bridal carry and walked out of the room. Before leaving, he instructed Jason, "Get prepared. I want to hear the news about acquiring Blatt Corporation in a few days!" "Yes, Boss," Jason replied.
Saul almost passed out from anger. "I know that I'm wrong, Mr. Crawford, and I have been punished. Don't go overboard!"
Luke could not be bothered to look at him. He left the room with Bianca, while the people who remained inside looked at each other awkwardly.
No one expected that Bianca was Luke Crawford's woman, and he loved her very much...
Everyone wondered how lucky she could get!
No one paid any attention to Saul, who curled up weakly in a ball on the floor. His gaze was steeped in poison as he watched Luke and Bianca leave
Luke walked along the corridor with Bianca in his arms. The dim yellow light accentuated his sculpted features.
He kissed Bianca's forehead indulgently. "Are you happy now?"
Bianca hugged Luke's neck even more tightly and pecked him on his cheek. "I'm happy to see my bullies eat crow tonight, and it's cathartic to see them cower. Thank you, Luke..."
Luke smiled gently and spoke to Jason, who had been following behind them. ’Go back to the room and tell them I'll be going home first because my wife is tired and wants to rest. Get them to enjoy themselves and put everything on my tab."
Jason twitched when he heard that brazen declaration of Luke's love toward Bianca. He turned around, went back to the private room, and passed on the message.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 582 Some Information About Ms. Rayne's Past
Before Bianca left, she reminded Jason once again to send Nina back.
Nina had drunk a lot of juice, and she had also drunk a lot of beer with some of her good friends. She was not a heavy drinker, and she was getting dizzy.
The red wine she drank was sweet and easy to drink, but she did not expect the alcohol to kick in later.
Once she stepped out of the room, she had the urge to go to the washroom.
She apologized to Jason and went to a public washroom next to the private room.
At the entrance, Nina suddenly felt very dizzy, and her eyes could not see the signs on the door clearly.
She pushed open a door and stumbled inside.
It was quiet in the washroom. No one else was inside.
Nina quickly relieved herself.
She breathed a sigh of relief. "Phew, that's a relief. My bladder is going to burst..."
Suddenly, she heard the washroom door open.
A set of firm and heavy footsteps walked in.
Then, the flowing sounds of a thin stream of water echoed in the enclosed space.
Nina stood up, rubbed her groggy head with her hands, and staggered out of the toilet.
Suddenly, from the corner of her eye, she caught a glance of a tall man relieving himself...
When she figured out what was going on, she became wide awake!
"How dare you enter the women's restroom, you pervert!" Nina was furious.
Before discerning the identity of the man, she flung her handbag at him!
She did not expect that the man deftly caught her handbag in an iron grip. 1
Nina tried to pull the handbag away from him, but she could not do so no matter how hard she tried.
Nina looked at the "pervert" in panic, but her gaze met a pair of ice-cold eyes.
Those eyes carried a bewitching charm that was almost magical.
She knew that those eyes belonged to a cruel demon. 1
Percy Mallory.
The man who had locked her in a room full of creepy crawlies.
Nina's eyes widened in anger in that instant. She started cursing at him," Let go of my handbag, you perverted bully!"
She did not expect that Percy would let go of her handbag instantly. Then, he slowly zipped up his pants.
His movements were simple and elegant.
Nina glared at him resentfully, then muttered, "Shameless! Pervert!"
After tidying his clothes, Percy chuckled coldly, walked in front of Nina, then pinched her chin and turned her so that she faced the sign on the door. "Look carefully, woman. You're in the male washroom
now!"
Percy thought that he was unlucky.
The VIP private room had an attached washroom, but it was too noisy, and he wanted to make a phone call. That was why he went to the quieter public washroom. Unfortunately for him, he bumped into a woman who thought that he was a pervert.
When Nina saw the sign on the door clearly, her face turned beet-red in an instant.
She wanted to apologize, but the pain on her chin reminded her of the man's cruelty.
She instantly changed her apology. I've drunk a little too much and saw the sign wrongly. You... you haven’t washed your hands after relieving yourself. Don't touch me with your dirty hands..."
Percy laughed out of anger. His grip on her lower jaw became stronger. "Do you think that my hands are dirty?"
Nina thought that her lower jaw was going to break.
In her desperation to free herself, she lifted her leg and stomped it toward Percy's crotch. "Go and die, you b*stard!"
Percy was caught by surprise, and Nina's foot landed squarely on his crotch! 1
His hands cupped over his crotch, though his demeanor instantly became as terrifying as the Grim Reaper!
Nina was shocked by his demeanor. She took the chance and ran out of the door.
Before the door closed behind her, she subconsciously turned around, and her eyes met Percy's murderous gaze. Her legs went limp, and she nearly fell down!
'What a scary man! I swear I'll stay away from him as much as possible!"
Three days later.
Wanda's body shook as she clutched tightly to the DNA test report in her hands.
She wanted to tear a hole in that report.
"Don't overthink it, Wanda. That Bianca girl is sensible and considerate. So what if you're not related by blood? You've doted on her for so many years... " Kirby gently patted Wanda's shoulder. She wanted to comfort her but did not know what to say.
Eventually, the doctor sighed heavily.
No one could have easily accepted the fact that their niece for twenty years was actually a stranger unrelated by blood.
Kirby thought that she would not be able to accept it too, so how could Wanda, who was a lot more mentally fragile?
Kirby wanted to say something when Wanda tore the test report into shreds.
Then, she tossed it into the waste paper basket nearby.
"Wanda?" Kirby furrowed his brows in surprise.
Wanda turned to look at her. Her pale face was streaked with tears, but there was a determination in her gaze. "The test results don't matter;
Bianca will still be my favorite niece. Our relationship will not change just because of a piece of paper. Please help me keep this secret, Kirby. I'm afraid that Bianca would overthink if she finds out.
Moreover, my father is already so old. He wouldn't be able to accept it."
Wanda thought that fate had been cruel to the Rayne family.
She did not blame anyone other than that sister-in-law whom she had never met before.
Kevin had loved his wife, but his wife had made a cuckold of him.
As far as Wanda knew, her brother did not know that Bianca was not his birth daughter even until he died.
Wanda was very sad when she thought of that, and her body swayed as though she was going to fall.
Kirby quickly helped Wanda sit down and said sternly, "You can't afford to wait, Wanda. You'll have to undergo surgery as soon as possible..."
Wanda's expression was inscrutable. "Alright, I'll agree to the surgery, but before that, I want to go to Japan to meet him one last time." 1
At the same time, in the CEO's office of T Corporation.
"This is what I have found about Ms. Rayne's background, Mr. Crawford.
Please take a look." Jason handed a stack of documents to Luke.
Luke took the documents and browsed through them.
When his eyes fell on the last line, his gaze became sharp!
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 583-Bianca Was the Swapped Baby Girl!
The document read: When Queenie Ziegler, Jack Norman's wife, was in the small-town clinic, the person who accompanied her there was Allison Tanner, Luke's mother.
Luke's hands stiffened when he saw that line.
He turned to the next page and continued to read.
The account was very detailed for a twenty-something-year-old incident.
According to the informer, Queenie had overstressed herself during that crisis. Moreover, her health was not that great, and those factors had caused her to deliver her baby prematurely.
The small town was too far away from the city, and she could not get to the hospital in time. That was why she had to go to an unremarkable clinic.
The name of the doctor who delivered Queenie's baby was named Vyen Lane.
Queenie lost a lot of blood during the delivery, and she was on the brink of death. She did not know that she had given birth to a healthy baby girl.
At that time, Allison had performed an illicit transaction with Doctor Lane. She bribed the doctor with a large sum of money to swap the baby girl with a dead one.
Doctor Lane took the money and left the country, while the whereabouts of that baby girl were unknown.
Luke read through the document twice before putting it down.
No one would be able to keep a secret unless they were dead! 1
It was not easy to find the information, but it was not too difficult either.
Without saying a word, Luke stood up, rested his hand on the windowsill, and looked at the scenery outside.
The sunlight that shone into the office made him look taller.
Even Jason was stunned by the man's perfect side profile and godlike demeanor.
"This incident is related to Madam Crawford, boss," he said.
Luke was irritated by the results of the investigation. He felt the urge to smoke.
He turned around and took out a cigarette from his drawer.
Jason lit it up for him.
"Where is the woman named Vyen Lane now?" Luke asked.
"Earlier, she returned to the country to visit her relatives, but she's since gone back overseas."
Jason continued, "According to the investigation, Madam Crawford met up with Doctor Lane a month ago. The details of their conversation were unclear, but Doctor Lane hastily left the country the next day. Right, I've encountered some opposition from two separate sources when conducting the investigation. Obviously, they don't want me to seek the truth."
Luke's demeanor instantly became severe. "Do you know who they are?" "The first is Leia Norman, Jack Norman's adoptive daughter. The second is from... Madam Crawford."
Luke dragged his cigarette fiercely.
Jason could tell that his boss was not in a good mood.
It was not hard to tell why. It was understandable that Leia Norman did not want Jason to find out the truth, but Luke did not expect that his mother would interfere in the investigation too.
He had always thought that his mother was merely selfish and materialistic, but he did not expect that his mother was morally repugnant enough to swap Queenie's child with a dead one, causing one of her best friends to live in agony for more than twenty years. Now, she was obstructing the investigation too.
Queenie was in a terrible mental state after she lost her child. She became better after she adopted Leia.
Luke found out from Shakira that Shakira, Queenie, and Allison used to be very good friends.
There were even several group photos of them at home. However, Luke could not figure out why his mother would do that.
None of the documents showed that Bianca was involved in the incident, but Luke was smart enough to connect the dots and guess that Bianca was the baby girl.
He remembered how his mother was inexplicably hostile to Bianca. She had strongly opposed their wedding, and she had even lied to him that they were siblings.
Luke knew that his mother was once married to Kevin Rayne.
She had considered that period of her life as a great embarrassment, and she would not even want to mention it. Naturally, Luke did not believe her when she said that he and Bianca were biological siblings.
Bianca and Luke took a DNA test, and that proved that Allison was lying.
Back then, he was overjoyed that they were not related by blood, and he did not investigate her background.
To him, it was enough that they were not biological siblings. Nothing else mattered.
Now that he thought about it, Bianca's background remained a mystery.
He never considered that Bianca would be Queenie's birth daughter.
After arriving at that conclusion, Luke flicked the cigarette in the ashtray and said, "Investigate Doctor Lane's background and find out her exact location overseas. Go and pay her a visit if you need to. I want to know the ins and outs of the entire incident."
Doctor Vyen Lane was an important witness in the entire incident. She was also involved in it.
If Bianca were really Queenie's daughter, Vyen needed to return to the country to testify.
"Yes, boss," Jason answered and left the office.
Luke stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, bathed in the golden rays of the sunset.
There was not the slightest hint of emotion on his handsome face.
He was thinking.
Bianca had lived in the Rayne household for more than twenty years. He knew that she placed a lot of love and trust toward her father Kevin Rayne, her aunt Wanda Rayne, and her grandfather Old Master Rayne. It would be hard for her to accept the truth.
If his mother had not interfered, Bianca would not have suffered throughout her life.
Luke was not sure if Bianca would accept the truth so readily.
Even so, Bianca still had the right to know the truth, and he would stand beside her when she would eventually make the decision.
Soon, it was the 15th of the month once more. The Crawford family members gathered for a meal.
Luke brought Bianca to Crawford Manor.
They were there early. Old Master Crawford was out for morning exercise. Susan went along with him, and they had not returned yet.
Louis would not appear unless the food was already on the table.
Allison was sitting on the couch in the living room, drinking her morning tea.
"Welcome back, Young Master Crawford." The caretaker took a pair of slippers from the shoe rack and placed them in front of Luke.
She was about to get slippers for Bianca when Allison slammed the teacup on the coffee table.
She started to reprimand the caretaker, "Not everyone deserves to enter Crawford Manor, Lindell. You don't have to attend to certain women."
The caretaker froze on the spot awkwardly.
She glanced at Luke's gloomy expression and thought that the pair of slippers in her hands were like hot potatoes. She was not sure if she should put them on the floor or back at the shoe rack.
"Don't worry, Granny Lindell. Let me handle this." Luke took the slippers from the caretaker's hands, crouched on the floor, and helped Bianca put the slippers on.
Allison was about to explode from anger as she looked at her son's slavish attitude toward Bianca!
Her son had never cared for her like that, but he was so docile and obedient toward that Bianca woman. Bianca was indeed a seductress!
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 584- I’ve Found Your Birth Daughter, Queenie!
Luke helped Bianca change into slippers.
He hugged Bianca's waist and walked in front of Allison. "Bianca and I are back home, Mother. She brought you a present."
Allison shuddered when she saw her son's icy gaze. Then, she turned her head away unhappily.
Bianca was the woman who had caused discord between her and her son!
Allison’s hatred toward Bianca only grew by the day.
"Madam," Bianca greeted Allison and handed her a bag of skincare products. "I heard that you like this brand, and so I bought it when I was out shopping the other day."
Allison turned her head and shot a glance at Bianca.
Her face had been scrunched up ever since Bianca entered the door of Crawford Manor.
Allison's well-manicured fingers caressed her teacup while talking to Luke," Luke, didn't I tell you not to bring that woman home? Why don't you ever listen to me? That woman had humiliated the Crawford family at the engagement ceremony. Must you disobey me at every chance you get?"
Luke sat down on the couch and draped his arm over Bianca's shoulder.
He frowned. ' Mother, Bianca is your daughter-in-law." "I don't want a daughter-in-law that tarnished the reputation of our family!" Allison said coldly, 1
She chuckled mockingly as she glanced at the branded skincare products that Bianca placed on the coffee table. "Get her to return them. I'm afraid that my face will be ruined if I use them!" She said
disdainfully.
Bianca maintained a courteous smile on her face. "Madam, when I was out shopping with Luke, he was the one who picked the skincare products for you. He told me that this is your favorite brand, and so I bought them." "Please accept them, Mother. Bianca genuinely wants to give it to you,"
Luke said.
He was determined to spend the rest of his life with Bianca.
Even if his mother was not fond of Bianca, he hoped that he could alleviate the tension between them.
Allison looked slightly better after she heard that Luke was the one who picked out the skincare products, but she immediately looked at Bianca arrogantly. "She's only a lowly employee. How can she afford to buy those products with her measly salary? These should cost at least a few months of her pay. She's still using my son's money anyway!"
Bianca did not want to argue or explain.
She had accepted the fact that Allison did not like her, and she was not going to change Allison's opinion of her in the short term.
"Bianca paid for the skincare products with her own money, Mother. I did not give her a single cent."
Luke could tell that Allison would remain hostile to Bianca. He patted Bianca's shoulder and said, "You can go to the bedroom first, Bea. I have something to talk to Mother in private."
Bianca nodded.
Luke shot a glance at the caretaker, and she escorted Bianca up the stairs.
Right after they left the scene, Allison instantly dressed down her son." Listen to me, my son. Bianca doesn't deserve you. Not only does she have an unremarkable upbringing, but she used to be married to Xavier. I don't mind you having a one-night stand with a loose woman like her, but you can’t marry her. I won't ever recognize her as my daughter-in-law!"
Luke stared at Allison with his profound gaze. Allison suddenly felt uneasy, and she turned her head away.
"Why are you looking at me like that, my son? I know that she's your obsession, but I cannot allow that woman to step into Crawford Manor! If you want to marry, marry a girl from a wealthy family!" Allison said domineeringly.
Luke smiled sarcastically. ’Are you sure that Bianca is from an unremarkable family, Mother?"
Allison's heart skipped a beat.
She turned her head away guiltily. "What do you mean, Luke? I don't understand!"
Luke noticed the change in his mother's expression and continued speaking, "I've managed to unearth certain truths, Mother, it's just that I haven't told you about them. You should know very well what happened when Mrs. Norman gave birth, and I don't think you need a refresher, right? I believe you know better than me what Bianca's actual status is."
Boom!
Allison felt a corner of her mental defenses crumble.
She pointed at Luke with a trembling finger and stammered, "What... what do you know?"
Swapping Queenie's child was her deepest and darkest secret.
She thought that she would carry her secret to the grave.
She did not expect that the first person to know would be her son! i
Luke stood up from the couch and towered domineeringly over his mother. "I know everything that needs to be known, Mother. I respect you because you are my mother, and I did not tell Bianca anything. All I hope is that you would be nicer to Bianca in the future. Otherwise, I wouldn't know if my tongue would slip and she finds out who her birth parents are. You can imagine the consequences if she is reunited with her birth parents and comes to look for you with her newfound status." "Are you threatening your mother?" Allison glared resentfully at Luke.
"If you want to put it that way, yes," Luke said nonchalantly.
"You b*stard! I should have strangled you when I gave birth to you!" Allison lost control of her emotions. She tossed the teacup containing hot tea toward Luke!
Luke tilted his head and deftly dodged the incoming teacup. His eyelashes drooped and obscured the emotions in his eyes.
The exquisite porcelain cup fell on the floor and shattered. The tea also splashed on the floor.
Til go upstairs. Get Lindell to clean up," Luke said, then went up the stairs.
Allison stared at her son walking away determinedly. When she thought of his merciless threat, she felt a tightness in her chest, which made her tossed the other teacups in a fit of anger!
Bianca was her bane!
If Allison had known that Bianca would seduce her son, she should have not kept the baby alive back then!
She should have tossed the baby into the dumpster and left it up to fate!
At the Norman residence.
Leia had been on hiatus from the entertainment industry. She had been recuperating at home, and she seemed to be more sensible.
Queenie was relieved to see her daughter like that.
Usually, Leia would be busy with movie shoots or variety show appearances. She was seldom at home.
Now, Leia spent most of her time with her mother, either practicing yoga, learning flower arrangements, or studying business management.
Queenie was more and more satisfied with her daughter.
She even began to think that it was a good thing for Leia to retire from the entertainment industry. That way, her daughter would be able to spend more time with her.
While Queenie was explaining to her daughter about the history of flower arrangement, she received a call from Shakira.
After she answered the call, Shakira's anxious voice could be heard. "I've found your birth daughter, Queenie! Quick, come over here!"
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 585- She Was Instantly Overcome With Joy!
Queenie was shocked when she heard what Shakira said. When she finally processed Shakira's words, she was instantly overcome with joy!
She even forgot that her adoptive daughter was next to her. The hand that was holding her phone was shaking. "Shakira, is... is what you say true? You really found my birth daughter? Where is she now? Is she fine? Is..." "Mm, Queenie, are you free? You can come over and take a look now. Mr. Tyson has run a background check on her, and he thinks that all her characteristics check out. I think there's a very big possibility that she is your birth daughter."
'I'm free now. Ill head over!"
From the phone's speakers, Leia could hear the contents of the conversation between Shakira and her mother. Those words sent chills down her spine.
Leia sat on the couch in silence. There was not a hint of a smile on her beautiful face.
Her right hand that was holding a flower stalk clenched tightly. Instantly, she lost all vitality.
After Queenie ended the call, she noticed that her daughter was looking at her weakly with tears in her eyes.
It was only then she realized what she had just said. "Leia..." She called out nervously.
"Did Aunt Neile manage to find my elder sister?" Leia bit her lip and looked at her mother innocently.
"It's a long story, Leia. I'll tell you more about it when I get back..."
Queenie hugged Leia tightly. "Your Aunt Neile said that she found your elder sister's whereabouts. You don't know how surprised and happy I was when I heard that. That poor child... she must have suffered a lot over the years. Don't worry, Leia, even if your elder sister comes home with us, you're still my beloved daughter. In the future, you'll have an elder sister who loves you too."
Leia could only sneer discreetly.
Her mother used to say that she was her "most beloved daughter." Now, her mother did not even bother to use the word "most."
Queenie seemed anxious to meet her birth daughter. To Leia, her mother's face at that moment was revolting!
What was so great about her birth daughter?
Did she not care that Leia was her daughter for more than twenty years?
If Queenie really brought her birth daughter home, would Leia have a standing in the household?
Moreover, she had plotted against Bianca multiple times, even endangering her life!
If Bianca returned to the Norman household, she would definitely expose all of Leia's misdeeds. Would Leia's innocent and docile image be ruined, or worse, would she be sent to prison?
Leia's face turned deathly pale when she thought of that possibility!
However, she dared not show her true emotions on her face. Instead, she forced a smile, "Mom, you haven't heard any news about Elder Sister for so many years, so why would there suddenly be news? Don't you think that there's something fishy about this? After all, there are so many con artists nowadays. I don't wish to see you disappointed if it turns out to be a false alarm...’ "In any case, I have
to go and confirm it myself. What if it's real? Technology is so advanced nowadays, we can easily confirm it with a DNA test," Queenie said emotionally.
She was obsessed with finding her birth daughter. There had been false claims, but she had never given up hope.
Every time she heard that there was a lead that might reunite her with her birth daughter, she would immediately go there no matter how busy she was.
"I hope that you can find Elder Sister this time, Mom. You won't have to worry anymore. When she comes home, I'll love her with all my heart to give her the love that she's been missing all these years." Leia shed the hostility in her eyes and they sparkled with eagerness, as though she was really excited that Queenie's birth daughter will come home soon.
"You're so sensible, Leia. Your elder sister will love you if she comes home. " Queenie was comforted.
She had expected that Leia would not accept the news so easily, but Leia seemed to be excited about it. She was happy that her adoptive daughter was so understanding.
Leia smiled mockingly when her mother was not looking.
It would not be that easy for her adoptive mother to reunite with her birth daughter.
When Queenie and Leia arrived at the private detective agency, Shakira was sitting in the manager's office while talking eagerly with a young woman in a plain white dress.
A bespectacled middle-aged man sat on the manager's chair while organizing some documents.
There was also a humble-looking couple in their fifties sitting on a couch.
"Shakira!" Queenie greeted her friend. Then, she fixed her gaze on the young woman. At that moment, she felt equal parts of anticipation, agitation, and apprehension.
"You’re here, Queenie. Mr. Tyson here has considered multiple factors and finally found the abandoned baby from back then..."
Shakira helped the young woman up and introduced her to Queenie. "Her name is Julie Anderson. Her date of birth and her background matches the circumstances..."
Mr. Tyson stood up, handed a document to Queenie, and said courteously," Please have a look, Mrs. Norman. This is what my detectives have found over many days about the incident from more than twenty years ago, as well as Julie Anderson's life history since she was born."
Leia was relieved when she saw that the "birth daughter" was not Bianca.
She looked at the young woman carefully.
The young woman wore a white dress. She stood there silently with a sweet smile on her face.
At that moment, she was looking curiously at Queenie and Leia.
Her gaze seemed innocent, but Leia could see that the young woman was looking at her name-brand clothes with envy.
Leia sized up Julie. Julie seemed to be well-fed, but Mr. and Mrs. Anderson were dressed in faded old clothes and looked old.
They were sitting anxiously on the couch while looking at their daughter. Leia laughed up her sleeve.
Julie was a materialistic and selfish goody-two-shoes.
She suddenly had a bold idea.
'Hmm... having an elder sister like her seems not bad.
'She's materialistic and covetous. It's easy to keep her under control.1
Meanwhile, Queenie took the document eagerly and browsed through it.
When she saw Julie's date of birth and the date when Julie was picked up from the town dumpster by Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, her body trembled.
The Andersons picked Julie up on the day that her daughter was born.
The location of the dumpster was not far away from Doctor Lane’s clinic.
From those two points alone, Queenie was sure that Julie was her birth daughter.
How else could she explain the coincidence?
Julie's birthday was the same as the day of the delivery, and she was found in the dumpster near the clinic.
It was so unbelievable!
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 586 We’ll Just Have To Do A DNA Test!
Queenie was so sure that her birth daughter was Julie because she had gone to look for Allison more than once!
She wanted from Allison the truth of the incident back then!
Allison, irritated by Queenie's incessant pestering, said mockingly," Queenie, when you delivered your daughter back then, she was lacking oxygen and was blue and purple all over. She didn't even cry or make a sound, and we thought that she was dead. That was why we tossed her out into the dumpster near the clinic. It was so cold, and even if the baby were alive, she would have been killed by the weather..." i
At that moment, Queenie had the urge to kill Allison!
Why did they not wait for Queenie to regain consciousness, so that she could see her baby at least once?
Why were they so cruel to toss her baby into a dumpster, even though she had almost died giving birth to it?
Seeing Queenie discreetly wiping away her tears, Shakira knew that she was not in a stable emotional state. She turned to speak to the middle- aged woman. "Mrs. Anderson, can you tell us the details of how you found Julie back then?"
Shakira helped Mrs. Anderson stand up, and they walked in front of Queenie. The lady kept kneading her hands, and she seemed very anxious.
She was about the same age as Queenie and Shakira. However, thanks to years of menial labor, the wrinkles on the corners of her eyes were very deep, and half of her hair was white. Her hands were dry
and coarse.
Uneasily, Mrs. Anderson started speaking in a thick country accent. "Ah...
Ah'm not sure what to say..."
Queenie held Mrs. Anderson's hands tightly and asked agitatedly, "Can you tell me how you discovered Julie in the dumpster? Please be as detailed as possible."
Queenie's fair, tender, and well-manicured hands were a stark contrast to
Mrs. Anderson’s coarse hands.
Mrs. Anderson wanted to pull away, but Queenie held her hands very tightly.
Mrs. Anderson looked at the tears in Queenie's eyes and tried her best to recall what happened more than twenty years ago. Eventually, she began to stammer, "Ah... Ah need to think about it carefully. That day, just as usual, me and my husband went to set up our stall at the market. When we walked past a clinic in the town, we heard weak crying sounds. Me and my husband went to search where that came from, and by golly! We found a li'l baby smeared in blood in the dumpster. Ah wonder who's the wretch that tossed a baby into the dumpster on a cold day!
"Me and my husband didn't go to the market that day. We brought the baby home, cleaned her up, and brought her to the hospital for a check-up. Bless her, she's very healthy. At that time, ah was married to my husband for almost five years, and we've never had a child of our own. We couldn't figure out why, even though we went for treatment many times. Nothing's ever worked for us. We've given up, and we're planning on adopting a child so that there'll be someone who'll bury us. We didn't expect to pick up a child. Oh, bless the Lord and his providence. We took care of the baby until today..."
After that, Mrs. Anderson looked at Julie unblinkingly.
Her withered gaze was filled with love and care, but there was an inexplicable hint of grief in her expression.
She and her husband had treated Julie like their birth daughter.
They were poor, but they had given their daughter their best while raising her. They lived frugal lives so that their daughter lived a good life, like the rich kids intown.
Mr. Anderson's head was lowered as he smoked his pipe. He was also in grief.
Now that Julie's birth mother had found her, would she leave them behind?
Actually, Julie was already aware of her background.
When she was in middle school, her neighbor had accidentally divulged the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Anderson were not her birth parents. That time, Julie had raised a fuss about wanting to find her birth parents.
Mr. and Mrs. Anderson tried to convince her that she should look for her birth parents when she grew older. Julie did not listen. Instead, she cried and threw tantrums, even threatening suicide.
Mr. and Mrs. Anderson were terrified.
Instantly, they decided to use their savings to look for Julie's birth parents.
The two-year search that used up all their savings turned out to be fruitless. Mrs. Anderson was even hospitalized because she overworked herself.
Seeing that her birth parents were nowhere to be found, she stopped throwing tantrums, and peace resumed.
However, she became more of a spendthrift after that. She also became temperamental and would randomly throw tantrums.
Mr. and Mrs. Anderson spoiled her just as usual. She was their precious daughter after all!
After listening to Mrs. Anderson's story, Julie walked in front of Queenie. She kneaded her hands, her sparkling eyes blinked, and she asked timidly," Are... are you really my birth mother?"
Queenie was dressed in a bespoke suit-dress, which accentuated her slender body and made her look noble. At first glance, Julie could tell that Queenie was a very wealthy woman who lived in the city.
Looking at Queenie closely, Julie thought that she somehow looked familiar.
She seemed to have seen that face before, but she could not figure out when or where.
"Mom, we can take a DNA test to see if Julie is my elder sister. We'll get the results in a few days," Leia said gently.
'Look at those innocent eyes! She desires so much that Queenie is her birth mother!
TH make her wish come true then!' "You must have had it hard, child." Queenie caressed Julie's fair and tender face and started to sob.
She looked carefully at Julie's facial features. The more she looked at Julie’s face, the more she thought that they looked similar.
"It's not confirmed yet, Queenie. We should wait for the DNA test results." Shakira remained sensible. She was afraid that Queenie might be disappointed.
Queenie reluctantly let go of Julie's hands. "We should go to the hospital and perform a DNA test now. Before we get the results, perhaps you and your adoptive parents can come and stay at my house.
What do you think?"
She turned her head to look at the middle-aged couple and said gently," Mr. Anderson, Mrs. Anderson, you can come and stay in the Norman residence for the next few days. If Julie is really my birth daughter, I will compensate you handsomely. I apologize for inconveniencing you two for the next few days."
Mr. and Mrs. Anderson nodded stiffly.
They were reluctant to see their daughter leave. However, looking at the fact that Queenie seemed to be very wealthy and influential, they realized that they were not in the position to negotiate.
"Welcome to the Norman family, Sis Julie." Leia hugged Julie's elbow and pretended to be close to her.
Julie looked at how enthusiastic Leia was. Her gaze fell on Leia's diamond earrings and her Chanel clothes. At that moment, the envy in her heart was at its peak.
She prayed that she was really Queenie Ziegler's birth daughter.
That way, she would have an elegant and noble mother and could enjoy the life of a socialite.
She hated her current condition. She did not want her parents to be wet market traders. That was so embarrassing...
More importantly, she did not want to live in poverty anymore...
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 587- Finally, They Receive Their Marriage Certificates!
Meanwhile, at Crawford Manor.
The scene at the dining table was relatively harmonious.
Bianca was surprised that Allison did not pick on her or insult her while they had their meal.
However, she noticed that Allison would occasionally look at her with a deep-seated hatred, though Allison dared not say a hateful word.
Bianca was curious about what was going on.
After lunch, Luke and Bianca sent the twins to their tutor.
They dropped the children off at the destination. Then, Luke turned the car around and drove along Orchid Road, which Bianca was quite familiar with.
The road led into the commercial center of A City. It was wide, but traffic was usually heavy.
Moreover, it was the weekend, and the traffic was worse than usual.
Bianca sat in the side passenger seat and waited patiently for the traffic light to turn green.
She thought that Luke was going to bring her home.
However, she began to have doubts when she saw that they were on the jammed road. "Why aren't we going on the highway, Luke? Traffic here is horrific."
It was twice as far if they went back to the mansion using the highway, but driving through Orchid Road would cost them an extra half an hour.
Luke looked at her beautiful face but did not answer her question. "I'm bringing you somewhere."
Bianca did not expect that he was keeping her in suspense.
However, she was relieved when she remembered that Luke was not a person who would waste his time on frivolous matters.
When Bianca found herself in front of the city courthouse, she was dumbfounded.
Was Luke going to register their marriage?
After realizing Luke's intentions, Bianca said in a daze, "Are... are we getting registered right now? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I didn't bring my driver's license..."
Luke took Bianca's hand. He looked at her stunned face and said, "Don't worry, I brought it along for you."
He waved the black document folder in his hand.
"This is an important occasion. Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Bianca grumbled, although she sounded happy.
Luke looked at her bulging stomach and said gently, "We've delayed it for too long. I want our child to be a legitimate one."
Bianca could not express the joy in her heart.
However, she deliberately twisted the meaning of his words. "I should've known that you wanted to get us registered for the child..."
She would only be relieved if she heard the assurance from his mouth, even though Luke's love for her was evident. Perhaps a woman's heart was self-contradicting like that.
Luke bent over and looked Bianca straight in the eye. "You should know my true intentions for registering our marriage, silly girl. Lanie and Rainie are almost six years old now, and I've never even had a female friend, let alone marrying another woman. Isn't that proof enough of my love for you?"
Bianca lowered her head and smiled.
However, she noticed that Luke was in a handsome black suit, while she was only dressed in casual clothes. She became nervous again. "If I had known that we're here to register our marriage, then I should have at least dressed up. Now that I'm here without any preparations, I didn't even put on any makeup..."
They would be taking their photos as part of the registration process at the city courthouse. They would only get one opportunity, and the staff would not allow edited photos.
Bianca touched her unadorned face worriedly. She thought that if she did not put on any makeup, the difference between her and Luke would be too big.
After all, it was a once-in-a-lifetime occasion, and she ought to treat it seriously.
Luke smiled, hugged Bianca's waist, and kissed her forehead. "To me, you are the most beautiful woman. It doesn't matter if you wear any makeup."
He wanted to give her a surprise. That was why he did not tell Bianca that they were going to register their marriage.
At the city courthouse.
It was a good day to be married, and many people were queueing up for their turn at the civil registry. However, Luke and Bianca attracted the most attention.
Many people kept stealing glances at their impeccable looks and demeanor.
Even the staff at the civil registry treated them enthusiastically compared to the other couples.
Luke and Bianca did not demand special treatment. They wanted to be wedded just like any other normal couple.
One of the staff members handed each of them an application form, then eagerly escorted them to the next room to have their photos taken.
Many people were queueing for their turn, and they waited for some time. However, it only took several minutes to have their photos taken.
Bianca carefully looked at the printed photos. They looked good in the photos, perhaps because they already looked good in real life.
Luke was incomparably handsome in the photo, while she was beautiful and homely. They seemed inexplicably harmonious together. 1
Then, they went to the office to receive their marriage certificate.
The female staff member carefully checked their documents.
She did a double-take when she saw Bianca's divorce certificate.
Perhaps she was surprised that Bianca, a divorced woman, could find a handsome and noble husband like Luke. Moreover, the man had never married before.
Bianca did not mind it. She continued to smile blissfully.
They knew what the truth was, and it did not matter what other people thought.
The female staff member quickly composed herself. Then, after a brief check, she stamped on the marriage certificate.
After that, she handed the marriage certificate to Luke and Bianca. She smiled and said formulaically, "Congratulations to the both of you, Mr.
Crawford and Ms. Rayne, you are now a legally married couple. May you live happily ever after." "Thank you!" Bianca was beaming as she took the marriage certificate.
Luke nodded politely at the staff member and said his thanks. Then, he led Bianca out of the office.
The female staff member was envious when she watched how Luke pampered and indulged his wife.
She could tell that the man loved his wife very much.
She thought that Bianca was a lucky woman to marry such a handsome and noble man on her second marriage. She could tell that Mr. Crawford was a wealthy and influential man!
How lucky must she be to receive that love! 1
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 588- He Will Never Get Tired of Her
Bianca felt that everything was so surreal as she walked out of the city courthouse, clutching the wedding certificate in her hands.
They were really married.
They were now a legally married couple.
Luke turned his head to look at her.
It was noon, but the sky was partially cloudy. It was not very hot, but instead cool and windy.
Loose strands of hair danced on Bianca's face. He pushed them back behind Bianca's ear.
The man's slender fingers were like paintbrushes, gently tracing the outlines of her eyebrows and eyes.
Her smile was like a blooming flower that heralded the summer.
Luke thought that he would never get tired of looking at her face, no matter how long they would be together.
As he thought of that, he abruptly picked up the pregnant Bianca off her feet and twirled her around. He was laughing without restraint. "We’re married, Bianca. We're now officially husband and wife."
Bianca was red-faced as she hugged his neck. "Put me down. I'm too heavy."
Luke carried her and walked in the direction of the parking lot. He was still smiling. "You're not heavy. In fact, I think you're still too skinny. I should get Florence to prepare some health tonics for you."
Bianca smiled, though she wanted to say no.
She looked at his face in disbelief. Today, that outstanding man had become her husband.
That was a young and energetic face that could charm any person.
Those enchanting eyes were frigid like Arctic ice when they were narrowed, but they were filled with love when he looked at her.
"I wonder how many women would continue to flock to you." Bianca smiled as she looked at him.
Luke grinned. "It doesn't matter how many. I'll crush their hopes one by one.
Seeing that there was no one nearby in the parking lot, her hand undid the top two buttons of his shirt and slipped inside like an eel.
Luke gasped. He gritted his teeth as he looked at her. "You'd better behave outside. Otherwise..."
Bianca hugged his neck and said, "We’re legally married now..." "I'll deal with you later." Luke lowered his head and kissed her.
He unlocked his car remotely and turned on the air conditioning, eager to eat her up as soon as they got into the car.
Luke walked toward his car in big strides. He opened the door and carefully put her on the side passenger seat.
By then, the air conditioning had already cooled down the car.
Luke sat in the driver's seat, closed the door shut, leaned over, and started to kiss her passionately.
Bianca became breathless because of those kisses. She caressed his skin that was heating up because of his urges. Seeing that he was going to rip off her clothes, she said embarrassedly, "This isn't really the time to..."
Luke only wanted to scare her; he did not really want to do anything. In the end, he hugged her indulgently in his embrace.
His fingers caressed her lips as he laughed softly. "Who was the one who tried to seduce me earlier, hmm? You change your mind so fast."
Bianca lifted her head and saw the faint smile on his face. There was only love and empathy in his eyes, which made her feel relieved.
It was very comfortable to lean on his chest, and it emanated a nice smell of resin. Bianca did not want to get up.
Luke pressed her head onto his chest and said softly, "You'd better behave.
Otherwise, I'm going to deal with you."
Bianca hugged his waist and replied softly, "You're already threatening me on the day of our marriage. I wonder if it'll get any worse as time goes on?"
Luke could not help but laugh. "Then you'd better sweet-talk me out of it." "Hmm..." Bianca hugged his waist and looked into his obsidian eyes. She thought for a while and responded, "You're the most unique man that I've ever met, Luke, and I have to thank god for bringing you to me. I've never had a man who's so nice to me, and sometimes I don't know how to repay you. Well... I’m not too good at sweet-talking."
Luke hugged her even more tightly. "Silly girl, I love you from the bottom of my heart, and I don't expect any repayment from you. I'm happy as long as you're happy. Promise me that you'll stay with me for the rest of your life, and you won't leave me no matter what. That'll be the best way to repay me.
"Mm." Bianca could only feel bliss in her heart.
Their embrace this time was much like any other day, but it was also different.
It was the same because their love for each other did not change, but it was different because they were now husband and wife for life.
Meanwhile, Jack and Queenie Norman brought Julie to the hospital because they were eager to find out if Julie was really their birth daughter.
They went to a renowned hospital in A City.
With Jack's elevated status, they did not have to go through the usual procedures.
The doctor conducting the test was the chief physician.
Julie, dressed in luxury clothing and wearing expensive jewelry, cooperated without protest.
Queenie felt sorry for her when she saw how Julie was not used to wearing name-brand clothes.
The chief physician took hair samples from Queenie and Julie, and the nurse brought them to the lab.
To ensure that the test results were accurate, the chief physician also took blood samples from the "family of three."
After the nurse brought all the samples to the lab, Queenie asked impatiently, "When will the test results be ready, Dr. Hoover?" "Don't worry, Mr. and Mrs. Norman, you'll receive the results latest by tomorrow,” Dr. Hoover replied.
Jack nodded. "Alright, when you get the results, please let us know immediately."
Then, the family left the hospital.
At the entrance, Leia "coincidentally" bumped into Linda, her agent.
Linda was there for a routine checkup, and Leia said that she wanted to accompany her. She asked her parents and Julie to leave first.
"Come home soon." Queenie was worried that Leia might feel neglected because of Julie's arrival in the household, and she would always show her concern.
"Yes, Mom, I know," Leia replied obediently.
After her parents and Julie left, Leia put on a pair of oversized sunglasses and rushed to the chief physician's office... i
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 589-Bianca Had Some Doubts
Leia stepped into Dr. Hoover's office on her high heels and closed the door behind her.
Dr. Hoover was surprised when he saw Leia walk in front of his desk and take off her sunglasses.
"Do you have any more questions, Ms. Norman?" Dr. Hoover sat up straight and put on his glasses.
Leia smiled at him. To the doctor's shock and surprise, she took out a ten- million-dollar check from her pink handbag.
Then, she placed the check on the desk and pushed it in front of the doctor. "I'd like to trouble you with something, Dr. Hoover..." "It's no trouble at all. Please state your request, Ms. Norman." Dr. Hoover suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
Indeed, the words that came out of Leia's mouth chilled Dr. Hoover to his core.
I'm asking you to tamper with the DNA test results, Dr. Hoover. I want to make it so that Julie's DNA is a perfect match with my parents. That shouldn't be too hard for you, right? I've heard that... you've acquired a new mansion recently, and you need some money. Treat the ten million dollars as a present from me..."
Dr. Hoover stood up abruptly, and the glasses on his nose bridge jumped.
"I'm sorry that I cannot accede to your ridiculous request that will have me go against my principles, Ms. Norman!" He said indignantly, "You should also know that your father can easily ruin me if he finds out that I've tampered with the test results. Please take the check back, Ms. Norman. I won't take the money, no matter how much I need it!" "You're a righteous man, Dr. Hoover. I hope you don't regret your decision." Leia smiled faintly as she stared at Dr. Hoover's eyes. Then, she walked around the desk and started to tear her clothes away in front of him.
Leia was dressed in a sleeveless top with a deep neckline. As she pulled her clothes away, her femininity was reflected in Dr. Hoover's angry eyes.
For a moment, the elderly doctor was caught in a daze...
"What... what do you want?" Dr. Hoover stood up from his chair in alarm, but Leia pinned him down.
Dr. Hoover was an old man. He was no match for the young and strong Leia.
Leia straddled Dr. Hoover's lap and deftly undid the buttons of his shirt.
The woman's arms were as nimble as a snake. She peeled off the top half of the doctor's shirt, revealing his shriveled and skinny chest.
"You... You're shameless!" Dr. Hoover was embarrassed and angry.
He pried Leia's hands off his chest and wanted to push her away.
However, Leia fell on his chest with her body and started rubbing. "I know that you're afraid that your legacy will be ruined if the incident is exposed, but if you don't agree to my request, I'll ruin your reputation right now. Do you believe me? Hmm, I wonder what would happen if I start to scream for help now..." "Are you threatening me?" Dr. Hoover's body was stiff. He eventually managed to calm himself down.
Leia smiled and tapped on the doctor's chest with a finger. "You can't say that, Dr. Hoover. I'm giving you a chance to make some money, but you're no fun... Now that I've given you two options, it's up to you to pick one. Do you want to take the money and do what I want, or do you want your reputation to be ruined? A smart man like you should know what to choose.
Dr. Hoover did not expect that a woman who was younger than her daughter was threatening him.
Everyone said that Jack Norman's daughter was gentle and sensible. What a load of nonsense!
She was despicable like the devil!
Dr. Hoover's facial muscles twitched with anger. His entire body was shaking.
He thought of his legacy, his daughter who was about to go overseas, and his new mansion...
Eventually, his desires won over his reason. With a trembling hand, he picked up the check on the table.
"Alright, I'll agree to your request, but you have to keep this a secret," Dr. Hoover said defeatedly.
Leia got up from Dr. Hoover's lap, slowly straightened her clothes, and resumed her ladylike appearance. "You're a smart person, Dr. Hoover. Don't worry, we're on the same boat now. Why would I betray you without any reason?"
Dr. Hoover closed his eyes. The veins on his forehead were bulging, showing his anger.
Leia chuckled, picked up her handbag, and walked toward the door.
Right before she opened the door, she turned around, removed the butterfly -shaped hairpin from her hair, and threatened the doctor once more. "Right, Dr. Hoover, my hairpin is a mini recorder. It recorded everything in our conversation earlier, so don't think of pulling any tricks. If you don't carry out my request, I can guarantee that you'll be out of a job the next day."
Dr. Hoover's face turned ashen!
Leia opened the door and left happily.
She had already made herself very clear, and she did not believe that the doctor would disobey her.
If her adoptive parents would want to reunite with their birth daughter, she would rather that girl be Julie and not Bianca!
A new employee showed up at T Corporation on Monday. She was Julie Anderson.
Jason had instructed Tom to take care of her.
After a brief welcome party, Julie was officially a part of T Corporation's architectural design department.
Bianca was very happy that Julie was here.
After all, Julie had helped her prove her innocence in the cheating incident. It would not have been that easy to clear her name otherwise.
However, Bianca was surprised to see that Julie seemed to have gotten a brand new makeover in a matter of days.
Earlier, when she met Julie at the test, Julie was dressed rather trendily, though her clothes looked as though they were bootlegs from W*sh. Now, she was dressed in luxury clothing and wore diamond studs on her ears, and she looked like a true socialite.
However, Bianca did not judge others by appearances.
She would make friends with anyone that got along with her, no matter if they were poor or rich.
Bianca, sitting in front of her desk, smiled warmly at Julie sitting in the cubicle next to hers. "Welcome to the design department, Julie. We’re colleagues from now on. It's nice that you're sitting next to me too! You can ask me if you have any questions." "Mm, alright." Julie nodded happily as her eyes wandered around the office.
The work environment was a hundred times better than her previous company.
She did not expect to get such a good opportunity just by testifying for Bianca in front of the invigilators.
She felt a pang of jealousy when she remembered that Bianca's husband was Luke Crawford.
Why would that man be interested in the unremarkable Bianca? 2
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 590- Gentle and Empathic
Even though she was jealous, Julie remained sensible.
She would not have gotten this job if not for Bianca.
If she were to apply to T Corporation with her own abilities, she would not have been considered, even though she had a bachelor's degree from a ranked university.
She knew that the recruitment process of T Corporation could be inhumanly harsh. Candidates needed to have at least a master's degree, which she did not have.
She counted her lucky stars.
Julie sneaked a few glances at Bianca, who was hard at work.
She still could not understand why the idol of many young women around the country would have his eye on the unremarkable Bianca.
While Julie's thoughts wandered, several gossips in the office started to discuss her...
"'Hey, who do you think that Julie Anderson is? Mr. Doyle was the one who brought her to the office..." Female Employee A said.
"I don't know, but it looks like her qualifications don't match the company's most basic requirements. Did higher management recruit her personally?" Female Employee B replied.
Female Employee C seemed unimpressed. "Who knows? Honestly, I've been here for a few years, and it's the first time I've seen an employee who only has a bachelor's degree. Also, look at her work experience. Before this, she worked in this " Prosper Construction Corp." I've never even heard of them
before. It's probably some third-rate company. Even if higher management were to recruit her personally, they should at least get someone from a company as famous as ours. Why would our higher management be interested in nobodies?"
The HR department would send a welcome email to everyone's mailboxes whenever a new employee was recruited. The email also contained a brief introduction of the recruit, including their academic qualifications, work experience, and any specialized fields.
The other employees in the architectural design department could not help but discuss her after they read the email.
Their voices were soft, but Julie could hear them clearly. She wished that she could rip those gossips' mouths apart!
Bianca also heard the discussion.
She put away her work, then lumbered over in front of Julia.
She handed Julia some internal design documents, smiled, and patted her shoulder. "Here's some reference material for you, Julia. You can take a look and get familiarized with our workflow. As for those gossips, you can just ignore them or treat it as if they're only joking. To be frank, I was also the subject of a lot of rumors and gossip when I first joined the company. When you eventually prove yourself through your work, they won't be able to say anything. In T Corporation, talking will only be a waste of your time, and hard work will be rewarded. I believe that you'll shine."
Julie looked at Bianca gratefully, though she seemed rather dejected." Thank you, Bianca. I think you're my only friend in this company."
Julie was a design manager in her previous company. It might be small, but she was the one giving out orders, and she had never been the subject of someone else's gossip before.
Now that she was in T Corporation, she had to start from the lowest rung.
Her salary might be double her previous job, but she did not have a sense of superiority anymore.
"Don't be too bothered. There's always a learning process whenever you go to a new environment. Things will get better soon. Gossips are everywhere, and we don't have to care about what they say. Their mouths belong to them, and we should only care about doing our best. Furthermore, I'm not your only friend here. Didn't Tom, our department lead, and Sue and Nina welcome you? They're happy that you're here."
Julie lifted her head and looked at Tom, Sue, and Nina.
The three people sensed that someone was looking at them and lifted their heads at the same time. Seeing the unease in Julie's eyes, they smiled warmly at her.
Julie felt a little better.
When she looked at Bianca again, she seemed to understand why Luke would want to marry her.
Bianca was considerate and empathic, and her personality was refreshing and pure. Any straight man would find it easy to like her.
However, she thought that she was not too bad either. As she touched the luxury bracelet that Leia had given her, she remembered that the results of the DNA test would be known today.
If she were really Jack and Queenie Norman's daughter, her life would be transformed forever! She would no longer have to be poor anymore!
Bianca returned to her seat after seeing that Julie seemed to feel a lot better.
She was about to resume her work when Belle entered the office carrying a tray with a hot and milky drink.
Belle was a tall and slender woman and one of Luke's four secretaries.
Her exquisite mixed-race features and voluptuous body attracted gazes wherever she went.
When she stepped into the design department office, all the male employees opened their eyes wide and stared at her body.
Julie asked the female employee next to her about Belle's identity. She narrowed her gaze when she heard that the woman was their CEO's secretary.
"How bold of Bianca to keep that sexy woman in the boss's vicinity. Isn't she afraid that the boss would fall in love with that woman? All men think with their d*cks!'
Julie knew very well that bosses would usually have illicit affairs with their secretaries.
Moreover, Luke Crawford was an outstandingly handsome man, and his secretaries would definitely fantasize about him. Was Bianca not afraid that Luke's secretary would seduce him?
Did Bianca trust Luke that much, or was she just careless?
While Julie was deep in thought, she noticed Belle greeting Bianca.
She placed the hot drink on Bianca's desk and said courteously, "Mr.
Crawford asked me to prepare a hot drink for you, Ms. Rayne. He said that you didn't eat much yesterday, and he got me to warm up some date- flavored milk for you. Please enjoy." "Thanks, Belle." Bianca felt warmth in her heart as she took the cup. i
Belle smiled charmingly and left the office.
Julie was shocked as she witnessed that. She did not expect that the boss would pamper Bianca even at work!
