Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 771-She Needed An Opportunity

Sue was not a naive young girl. She was familiar with the sounds of lovemaking.

That was the sound of a woman gradually sinking into the bed.

The woman sounded like she was trying to hold back from screaming in pain. Obviously, the voice belonged to Nina.

What about the man?

Was the man Percy Mallory, her supposed boyfriend?

Did Sue happen to walk into them while they were making out?

Sue frowned awkwardly. She was about to put her hand down.

Just when she was about to tiptoe away, she heard Nina begging weakly from inside the bedroom. "Please... no... please..."

Sue blushed. She wanted to get away quickly.

Just when she turned around, she heard a deep and hoarse masculine voice.

The man seemed to be enjoying his presence inside the woman, and his voice carried a hint of mockery. "Heh, are you begging me? How many times have you begged me over the past two years for that broken family of yours and your materialistic mother? You've sold your soul for money!"

The grunts between Percy's words indicated his speed at entering Nina.

"Please, can you be a little softer? My friend... and her two children... are, are next door... please don't... wake them up..." The woman begged softly.

"Heh, are you embarrassed? Why didn't you think of the consequences when you first climbed on my bed? There's nothing special about your face, and you're barely alive in bed. I ought to show your friend the shameful things you'd do for money! Right, don't tense up so much. Relax a little..."

Nina sobbed in agony. "Please don't say it anymore... if I hadn't..." "Tsk, I like that look on your face. I should record this down on video.

You're so loud. Do you plan to wake your friend and her two daughters?"

Nina gritted her teeth and bore with the humiliation. However, she could not help but moan softly as the man continued to torment her.

Sue stood outside the door, utterly dumbfounded. novelbin

Nina was smiling when she said that her boyfriend had given her the mansion. Sue thought that Nina's boyfriend genuinely loved her, and she did not think too much about it, nor did she notice the resentment in Nina's gaze.

She did not expect that the truth was...

Was that how Nina gained the lavish mansion and her luxury clothes?

Sue felt that her limbs were going numb.

She did not know when tears had started flowing from her eyes. Her heart wrenched for Nina.

She thought that Nina's luck would have taken a turn for the better after escaping from Pierre Mallory's clutches.

She did not expect her to fall into another trap.

Sue thought that she had been too naive. She had accepted the offer of staying in Nina's house, which Nina had obtained through selling her body.

She heard the filthy words that the man used on Nina. She wished that she could barge into the bedroom and teach the man a lesson, but she could not.

Firstly, she knew that the man was extremely powerful and influential.

Secondly, Nina would not want to show that pathetic side of hers to Sue.

Sue could feel the hatred burning in her chest. Why did all men force such fates upon women?

Jason Doyle, that b*stard, was like that. The man who bullied Nina was like that too. How she wished that she could punch that man's face!

Sue covered her mouth and wiped away the tears on her face. Then, she dejectedly went back to the bedroom.

When she went in, she saw Kari sitting adorably on the bed, wrapped up in the blanket. Her unkempt hair was fluffy like a ball of cotton candy.

She rubbed her eyes and asked her mother eagerly, "I'm so thirsty, Mommy.

Did you find any warm water?” "Good girl. I couldn't find any warm water in Aunt Nina's house. It'll be morning soon. Mommy will get a drink for you in the morning, alright?” Sue patted her daughter's head. She struggled to breathe; her heart felt as though it had been pierced by countless needles.

Kari was a sensible girl. She might be thirsty, but she noticed the tears in the corner of her mother's eyes.

She did not know why her mother was crying, but she reached out with her plump little hand and wiped the corners of Sue's eyes. "I'm not that thirsty, Mommy. Don't cry, and don't be angry... I'll drink my water tomorrow, alright? Let's sleep..."

Kari, in her innocent mind, thought that she had disturbed her mother's sleep. She felt guilty about it.

Sue's heart wrenched. She hugged Kari and looked at Teri who was sound asleep. It was going to be a long night... i

Meanwhile, in the drug rehab center.

Leia had lost count of the number of days she had been there. All she knew was that a group of tall and burly women would come to her cell every few days and torment her. She feared the coming of the dark night, as well as being alone in her cell.

Whenever Jack and Queenie came to visit her, she complained about the horrible treatment she had received there and wished that she could go home. She did not want to suffer the inhuman tortures at that hellish place.

However, before her parents came, the people in the center would clean Leia up so that there were no injuries or wounds.

Eventually, Mr. and Mrs. Norman hired a doctor to perform a thorough examination on her.

The doctor could not find anything wrong with her except for the drugs in her system.

They thought that Leia was only stressed. They would tell Leia to obediently follow the rehab program before leaving, and once she was released from the center, they would welcome her again with open arms.

Leia's hope slowly turned into despair, and her personality became more and more twisted.

She blamed everything that happened to her on Bianca Rayne.

If Bianca Rayne had not taken her position as the rightful Ms. Norman; if Bianca Rayne had not stolen Luke Crawford's affection; if Bianca had not returned to the Norman household, Leia would still be the glamorous Ms. Norman, loved and respected by all.

Unfortunately...

All she needed was a chance to get out of there.

If she could get out...

In the darkness of her cell, Leia abruptly opened her eyes.

She cackled as though she had been possessed...

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 772-Mavis's Secret Was Discovered

In the morning, the scattered sun rays shone through the floor-to-ceiling window, through the white lace curtains, and landed softly on the rose-gold carpet.

Bianca woke up from her dreams. She habitually reached out, but there was no one lying next to her.

She was all alone in the spacious bedroom.

She stretched and yawned lazily before glancing at the clock on the wall. It was half-past eight.

Bianca felt a little frustrated. She used to wake up at six o'clock, but ever since Luke returned, she stopped going to work, and she might have become lazy after staying at home for so long.

She got out of bed and drew the curtains. She was putting on her clothes when she heard a soft rustle.

A small piece of notepaper fell from the bedside table to the carpet. It was very eye-catching under the morning sunlight.

She picked up the note and read it.

Tm off to work, baby. Sleep a little while more. The caretaker has already prepared breakfast, and I've placed it in the warmer. If you want to heat it up, the caretaker can do it for you. Love you. -L"

Bianca could not help but chuckle as she looked at the elegant cursive handwriting.

She was the one who taught him how to leave notes. Luke had never left a note for her when they started living together, but after Bianca did that to him for a while, he started leaving notes too.

The grudge between them had disappeared completely. What was left was the lingering warmth of love.

Bianca carefully placed the note in a sandalwood box and went to the bathroom to wash up.

She looked at the mirror after she washed her face. She used to look haggard and pale, but now color had returned to her face. The love bites on her neck were a trademark of Luke's love for her.

Bianca could not help but touch herself in the mirror. She felt happy and content.

She remembered someone said, "When a man loves a woman, she will become beautiful."

After breakfast, Bianca went to her new company.

Now that she had her own business, she could not afford to be lazy.

Meanwhile, Sue felt rather awkward when she faced Nina because of what she overheard the night before.

She soon managed to regain her composure and treat Nina normally.

Nina had always been extroverted. She did not notice anything different about Sue.

After they had breakfast, Sue and Nina hurriedly went to T Corporation for work.

Nina did not give up on her career even after her sugar daddy pampered her with riches. She was not as capable as the elites in T Corporation, but being occupied with work gave her fewer opportunities to overthink.

When Nina arrived at her cubicle, she received an order from Mavis." Transfer!"

Mavis's assistant had passed her the order to transfer.

Nina was confused when she saw the letter of transfer that Mavis's assistant brought her. She narrowed her gaze. "Does Ms. Laviere want to transfer me to another department? What's the reason

for that?"

Her eyes opened wide in disbelief when she read the letter carefully and saw that she was to be transferred to a remote branch in the northwestern region of the country.

She had always been devoted to her tasks. Even though she was not good enough to be promoted, her performance was considered passable. That should not have earned her a transfer to a remote corner of the country!

"Don't be too surprised, Ms. Langdon.” Mavis's assistant remained impassive. Snowdon District might be a little far from where you are now, but your salary and allowances will be doubled. Your rank in the company will be higher too."

Nina's eyes opened wider. "That might be true, but shouldn't higher management ask me if I want the transfer in the first place? As far as I know, T Corporation always tried to locate employees closest to their hometowns, and they would ask for the employees' consent before transferring. Why was I not consulted before the decision was made?"

Doubling one's salary and being promoted might be a good thing to other people, but Nina was not ambitious. All she wanted was to maintain her position.

She did not want to transfer to that remote region. There were no friends or relatives there, and she would not be used to the environment.

"Doesn't matter what you say; this is Ms. Laviere's orders. If you don't wish to be transferred to Snowdon District, you can negotiate with Ms. Laviere. I'm only here to deliver the letter to you," the assistant said impassively.

Then, she walked away.

Somehow, all of Ms. Laviere's assistants had that cold and distant personality. Nina did not know if they were born that way or if they were affected by their superior.

Nina frowned as she looked at the letter of transfer in her hand.

She did not wish to be relocated to that remote place.

She might not be on speaking terms with her mother, but she had an amicable relationship with her father. Unfortunately, her father's health was failing, though she could visit him relatively frequently from A City.

If she moved to Snowdon District, she might only be able to return home once or twice every year.

Her brother was still in prison. If she moved far away, her father would be very sad.

She considered her options for a while before deciding to go to Mavis's office. There might be a chance that Mavis might rescind that decision.

Nina saw that the door to Mavis's office was ajar. She reached out to knock on the door, but her foot slipped, and she barged in through the door!

At that moment, the usually cold and aloof Mavis Laviere was staring obsessively at a photo and kissing it, as though the photo was a priceless treasure. It was quite an uncanny sight.

Mavis was shocked when she saw Nina suddenly appear in her office.

The photo slipped from her fingers, floated away, and landed about five feet away from Nina.

Nina glanced at the photo out of curiosity. She was shocked to find the man in the photo was...

Their CEO.

Mavis quickly picked up the photo. Her face was ashen.

Her subordinate had discovered her deepest, darkest secret. How she wished that she could gouge Nina's eyes!

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 773- Leia Slit Her Wrist

Mavis narrowed her eyes and glared at Nina.

Her well-manicured hands rapped her desk. "What did you see?"

Mavis's tone was unlike her usual coldness. It was stern and close to savage, which made Nina shudder uncontrollably.

She tried to maintain her composure and tried her best to speak calmly. "I didn't see anything, Ms. Laviere. Right, I'm here to ask you about my transfer. I'd like to remain in A City and not transfer to Snowdon District because my father has ill health, and it'll be easier for me to take care of him if I remain here. Can you reconsider your decision?"

Mavis leaned back on her chair elegantly, rested her chin on her hand, and chuckled coldly. "The company has arranged the transfer, and it's not good if you want to change it. Also, Ms. Langdon, if every employee starts giving excuses like you, would the company prosper? It's natural that every employee wants to stay in the big city. Who would be the ones to explore the company's frontiers then? I respect my employees, but you should respect the decisions made by higher management." novelbin

Mavis sounded as though she was prioritizing the benefits of the company.

There was a hint of cold viciousness in her eyes.

Nina felt a little dejected. "Is there no room for negotiation, Ms. Laviere?"

Ever since Bianca left T Corporation, Mavis had singled out Nina as her bullying target because she knew that Nina and Bianca were good friends. Not only did she assign more work to Nina compared to other colleagues, but she also blocked any chances of Nina getting promoted.

Nina knew that Mavis had never liked her and wanted to transfer her away, but she did not expect Mavis to send her to the remote northwest region hundreds of miles away.

She could not accept that.

"Of course, if you insist on staying, you can always try to plead to Bianca. I know that you're good friends with her," Mavis said mockingly, "I know she takes good care of you, and she'll beg Mr. Crawford on your behalf, maybe in bed. You'll get to stay in the company that way."

Nina could feel the blood rushing into her head. "What are you saying, Ms. Laviere? I might be good friends with Bianca, but I know how to keep my personal and professional life separate. If the company insists on transferring me to Snowdon District and no one else fits the job, then I'll have to respect the company's decision. I won't bother you anymore."

She turned around and strode out of the office without giving Mavis another look.

As she turned around, her gaze turned from helplessness to contempt.

If their CEO was still single, Mavis had all the right to win his affection.

However, Mr. Crawford was currently in a blissful marriage with children. Nina could not look up to someone with that character!

In the worst-case scenario, she would resign from T Corporation and join Bianca's company.

As Mavis watched Nina leave, her repressed annoyance flared up again.

Mavis had disliked Nina because of her relationship with Bianca. Now that Nina had discovered her little secret, she would not allow Nina to stay in the company.

After staying in the drug rehab center for almost two months, Jack and Queenie finally removed Leia from that hellish place.

It was not because she was clean, but rather because she tried to kill herself...

Leia broke a vase and cut her left wrist deeply. The flesh was exposed, and the bone could be seen. If the nurse had not found her in time and sent her to the hospital, she might have already died.

Queenie cried miserably in the hospital ward. She could not understand why her daughter would do something stupid.

Leia leaned onto her mother's chest, feeling her mother's warmth and listening to her cry. However, her heart was not warmed at all. She thought that Queenie was faking it.

Before they left her at the drug rehab center, Queenie was crying and hugging her the same way, saying that they would pick her up when she became clean in two days and that they would love her just like before.

However, she attributed all her suffering to her adoptive parents.

Did she hate them?

She had to admit that she resented her adoptive mother, but she knew that Queenie genuinely loved her before Bianca came into the picture. Queenie would give her the best in everything.

Queenie did not skimp on Leia's food, clothes, and accessories, and she hired the best tutors for her daughter. When Leia grew up and wanted to enter the entertainment industry, Queenie was the only one who stood behind her decision and allowed her to be an actress.

Queenie was the one who had transformed her from a lowly and unwanted orphan to the glamorous and enviable Ms. Norman. However, all that changed after Bianca returned.

Bianca was the birth daughter of Jack and Queenie Norman. They felt guilty that they had neglected Bianca for so many years, and they shifted their care and affection from Leia to her. In a short time, Bianca had replaced Leia’s position in the family.

Despite living in the Norman household for more than a decade, Leia became a much inferior daughter compared to Bianca.

Leia made no sound as she lay on Queenie's lap and listened to her cry sorrowfully. However, her tears did not stop flowing.

Queenie noticed that something was amiss. She held her daughter's hand and touched her face. "Why did you do something stupid, my child? Please don't do that again. My heart can't take it."

Leia narrowed her gaze and pretended that she was out of breath from crying. "I don't want to stay in the drug rehab center anymore, Mom. I'm scared of the dark, and I always feel that there's a ghost that's haunting me every night. Everyone there bullies me, but none of you believe me. You always think that I'm lying..." "I can't take it anymore. I'm afraid that I'll go crazy if I stay there for another second. I miss you and Dad, but you rarely come and visit me. Don't you know how agonizing it is to think that no one loves me? I was an orphan, and if you and Dad abandon me, I might as well die!"

After Leia said that, Queenie hugged her tightly and burst into tears.

That was the scene that Bianca witnessed when she arrived at the hospital ward...

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 774-How the Tables Have Turned

Seeing Leia's tear-stained face as she sobbed broken-heartedly in Queenie's arms, Bianca could only find it very funny.

She glanced at the blood-speckled bandages on Leia's wrist and rolled her eyes. She did not expect that Leia would hurt herself to get out of the drug rehab center.

She remembered that Leia was afraid of pain.

Leia would not even dare to get an injection, but she somehow found the courage to cut herself. Bianca had underestimated her.

Bianca composed herself and wiped her eyes with her shirt sleeve. She pretended to be sad as she sat down in front of Leia and Queenie. "Mom, is Leia okay? I heard that she tried to slit her wrist. How could she be so silly?" She asked softly.

Leia's body trembled when she heard Bianca's voice. Fires of resentment burned in her eyes.

It took her a long time to control her emotions. She lifted her head and looked at Bianca pitifully. "Elder Sister..."

Queenie noticed that Bianca was in the ward. She let go of Leia, looked at her elder daughter, and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Your younger sister is fine. The doctor said that her wound is very deep. If she was sent to the hospital slightly later, she might have lost her life... Sigh, my poor child!"

Bianca glanced at Leia when she heard her call "Elder Sister."

Did that woman change her strategy to evoke pity? She had rarely called her "Elder Sister."

Bianca was not going to call Leia out. She reached out and held Leia's other hand and comforted her. "You shouldn't have tried to kill yourself, Leia. You only live once, and you shouldn't waste it just like that. Don't you know that Dad and Mom have been fretting while you were away in rehab? Dad has been chain-smoking even though he was never a smoker, and Mom cries every day. Please don't let them down anymore, and stay away from drugs. It'll ruin your life."

Queenie cried even harder after she heard Bianca say that, while Leia was laughing up her sleeve.

'Look at how sincere she's trying to be. Is there a need to mention my drug habit in front of Mom again and again? That's just pouring salt on her wound!

'Furthermore, if my adoptive parents really care about me, would they allow me to be bullied in the rehab center and not believe what I tell them?'

However, Leia knew that she had to lay low for a while. She would not want to be sent back to the drug rehab center again.

"Thank you for your advice, Elder Sister. This was all my fault," she said superficially, "I won't touch drugs ever again, Mom, and I shouldn't disobey you and Dad. I swear I'll be a better person... I don't hope for your forgiveness, but I hope that you'll allow me to remain in the Norman household so that I can continue to serve you and Dad..."

Leia knew what Queenie's weak points were.

She did not believe that her adoptive mother would disown her. After all, she had been Queenie's daughter for over a decade.

As expected, Queenie's tear-streaked face trembled agitatedly as she hugged Leia tightly. "You are our daughter, Leia. We might not be related by blood, but I've always treated you as my birth daughter. What do you mean, allowing you to remain in the household? Why would I drive you out?"

Leia looked at Bianca timidly. "Elder Sister, would you... would you accept me in the family?"

Bianca furrowed her brows.

She did not believe that Leia would change her personality for the better in only two months.

She would be genuinely happy for Leia if Leia would repent and not cause any more trouble. However, if she would do anything detrimental to her parents or the Norman household, Bianca would not forgive her.

Bianca smiled and said to Leia, "We're a family, aren't we? We would always welcome you with open arms as long as you learn from your mistakes."

Queenie was relieved when she heard that.

She knew that her elder daughter was not a petty person and would not hold grudges against her younger daughter for her mistakes. She tousled Leia's hair and said, "Your elder sister has always missed you, Leia. Why would she not welcome you? Let's go home after you're discharged from the hospital..."

Bianca also went up and held Leia's hands eagerly. Don't overthink it, Leia. Stay in the hospital while you recover. I'll come and visit you often.

Remember this, Leia, people will forgive you if you make a mistake, but if you do it too often, not even Dad and Mom can save you..."

Bianca thought that she was at least as good an actress as Leia.

To Queenie, Bianca was a magnanimous, sensible, and kind elder sister to Leia. She would do her best to play that role.

She was kind, but she was not stupid.

Leia was an ingrate, and Bianca did not know when Leia would harm them. That was why she put on an act whenever she interacted with her younger sister.

Leia could tell that Bianca was acting. She hated the fact that Bianca's acting skills were improving by the day. Even their mother believed that Bianca genuinely cared for her.

She could hear the implications of Bianca's words: She sounded like she was caring, but she would not hesitate to drive Leia out of the household if she went out of line.

Leia was angry, but she had nowhere to release her anger. "Thank you for your advice, Elder Sister. I had been naive, and I've learned my lesson. I won't do anything silly again." "Mm. Remember what you said today." Bianca felt cathartic when she saw the usually arrogant Leia become so docile.

In the past, Leia had been the bully because of her status as Jack and Queenie Norman's daughter. She had even tried to snatch Luke from Bianca. Now that the tables had turned on her, was it karma?

Leia gritted her teeth when she saw how smug Bianca was. She clenched onto the hem of her sleeve so tightly that she almost tore it off, but she had to put on a guilty and regretful expression.

She had already put on the act for so long, and she was not going to break character that easily.

Queenie did not know the hidden barbs in her daughters' conversation. She was happy that the two had made up to each other...

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 778- Rainie Is Missing

The moment Bianca saw the notification, she immediately clicked on it.

Her mood instantly came crashing down when she read the contents of it!

The Galleria was regarded as one of the most well-known department stores owned by T Corporation. They had more than 400 stores, and because of their excellent locations and high-end interior, they had tens of thousands of customers every day. The annual turnover exceeded 100 million dollars.

How did it suddenly collapse?

The media had eyes everywhere. With such a major accident involving the Galleria, even if T Corporation immediately dispatched their public relations team to deal with the issue, it was impossible to suppress this news.

Bianca froze. She called Luke and wanted to ask about the situation, but no one picked up the call. She assumed that he was in an emergency meeting with the management team.

One thing that frightened her the most was that there was an unread message on her phone from Rainie.

Rainie had texted her: [Mama, tomorrow is Teacher's Day. I'm going to The Galleria near our school with a few of my friends to buy two bouquets of carnations for our teachers. I know your favorite is roses. I'll bring you a bouquet when I come home. Wait for me, love you!]

Bianca would set her phone to silent mode whenever she was at work, so she did not see the message sent by her daughter in time.

However, after she saw Rainie's message, she broke into a cold sweat.

Rainie studied at the A City Key Experimental Primary School. The nearest mall there was The Galleria. Could Rainie be buried in it too?

Bianca was extremely anxious. She dialed Rainie's phone, but it went unanswered no matter how many times she tried.

It was driving her crazy!

She could no longer sit still at home and immediately rushed out the door.

She had to go to see the collapsed site of The Galleria!

The Galleria.

The scene was a mess, and the busy area was cordoned off. The Galleria, which was regarded as a landmark by the citizens of A City, had turned into rubble. The once towering commercial buildings had turned into hell.

Many people were still buried in it, crushed under the rubble.

Countless fire trucks, ambulances, and soldiers were rushing in and out of the site. A few kind and helpful citizens were doing their best to help as well. i

Large excavators were useless because there were many lives buried underneath. The only option was to dig by hand. Many rescuers' hands were dripping with blood, but no one complained. An air of death permeated the scene.

Some of those who got rescued lost signs of life and turned into corpses with broken limbs. They were carried out in a stretcher, covered with a white cloth. Others were lucky to stay alive but were seriously injured with at least one of their limbs missing.

Blood, gravel, groans, and crying were intertwined. Infinite dread was looming.

Bianca covered her mouth in disbelief as she started tearing. Two days ago, she and Nina had come here to buy office supplies. Now, this place has become hell on earth!

Just as she was about to rush into the scene, a soldier who was commanding the scene stopped her in time.

The man was wearing a military uniform with two bars and three stars. His face was well-defined, his eyes were sharp, and he looked like the perfect sculpture.

At first glance, his heroic appearance was unforgettable.

He walked straight to Bianca, his tall figure enveloping her petite body. He appeared oppressive and strong.

Bianca thought that he looked familiar but could not recall where she had met him.

She was stunned when the man saluted her. He stared at her delicate and pale face with his falcon-like sharp eyes, saying coldly, "Madam, it’s a crucial time for the rescue team and we won't allow any form of distractions. We'll try our best to rescue all of those injured and ensure the safety of innocent citizens. Please keep a safe distance!"

She felt his strong presence and looked up at him.

The young and handsome officer had a stony face as he presented himself as someone not to be messed with.

However, when she thought about how Rainie might be buried in the piles of ruins, Bianca started to freak out.novelbin

Bianca stubbornly rushed into the scene, looking around the ruins while shouting Rainie’s name, 'Rainie... Rainie... Where are you? If you hear me, please answer me..."

In the ruins that stretched for thousands of square feet, Bianca was looking for her daughter while avoiding the soldiers’ attempts to shoo her out. She started digging with her hands alongside the other rescuers.

She had broken out into a cold sweat. Her fingernails were broken and bloody because of the digging, but she did not feel the slightest pain. On the contrary, her state of panic made her almost numb.

She was still recovering from her cold, so when the cold wind blew on her, she could not help but shiver uncontrollably.

The officer rushed up to her and wanted to take Bianca away from the scene. "Madam, calm down. The scene is not safe. There are many hidden dangers. Please leave immediately! We will look for your daughter, you’re not helping by being here..."

Bianca uncontrollably burst into tears and tried to shake off his grip while shouting, "No, I must find my daughter! She told me that Teacher's Day is coming soon and she was coming here with her friends to buy flowers. She even told me that she would bring home a bouquet of roses for me... Rainie is only eight years old. She's so young and well-behaved. How can I leave her alone? She's my everything..."

The officer was surprised that the young woman in front of him, who looked like she was in her early 20s, would have an eight-year-old daughter.

He knew that when pushed into a corner, people could do the unexpected. He knew that the woman would not give up if she did not find her daughter, so he sighed and let her be.

He gave two soldiers next to him a look and motioned for them to look after her.

The two soldiers nodded and looked at Bianca’s pathetic appearance. They felt her desperation and despair.

"Rainie... Do you hear my voice? My dear Rainie, where are you..."

Everytime Bianca saw someone, she would ask if they had seen a beautiful little girl in a white dress with two pigtails. However, her efforts were fruitless as no one was able to provide her with any useful clues.

Tears filled her eyes again and ran down her cheeks. In such gloomy weather, she looked especially miserable.

'God, why did you let this happen to Rainie? What sin did I commit?!'

Suddenly, there was a loud noise at the front. Someone from the crowd said, "Oh my God, a girl in a white dress and with pigtails was dug out just now. It looks like she's only around seven to eight years old. Her brains have been smashed to pieces. Poor thing..."

Bianca's face instantly turned pale as a ghost. She very slowly moved toward the crowd mechanically...

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 779-She Was Overwhelmed With Sadness

Many people were crowded in front of the site of the accident, and everyone looked somber.

Bianca pushed through the crowd and stared at the ruins of what was left of The Galleria.

It was a sea of red under the rubble. The paramedics carried the little girl on the stretcher and placed her on the flat ground. Blood was still flowing, staining the white cloth...

Bianca could not see the girl's face because she was covered with a white cloth, but the little girl seemed to have two pigtails...

Judging from her figure, age, and hair, it seemed to fit Rainie's description.

Bianca covered her mouth and kept shaking her head desperately, forcing herself not to cry.

'No, nothing bad would've happened to Rainie!'

Rainie was so well-behaved and sensible. She would not leave her just like that!

"Rainie, tell Mommy that it’s not you, okay? You told me in the morning that you were going to bring home a bouquet of roses for me. I’ll wait for you to come home... You also told me that you want to be a dancer and a painter when you grow up. You want to make a lot of money and travel around the world with me... Baby, your wish hasn't been fulfilled, so how can you leave me? Rainie... Rainie...”

Bianca was overwhelmed with sadness and muttered to herself like a madwoman.

The people around her did not laugh at her, but rather, they looked at her sympathetically.

Everyone felt her pain and pitied this young mother who had lost her beloved daughter.

"Poor thing, the child is gone at such a young age. That’s terrible..." "What can we do when natural and man-made disasters like this happen? All we can do is blame the black-hearted developer for building such bad real estate!"

Bianca was not paying any attention to what the people around her were saying.

She rushed to the stretcher and looked at the girl who was covered with a white cloth. She wanted to unveil the cloth, but she could not muster the courage to do so.

A kind-hearted citizen pitied her and gave her a gentle reminder, "Madam, it’s best if you confirm whether it really is your daughter." novelbin

Bianca stared at them fiercely and screamed hysterically, "No, impossible! This isn’t my daughter, I don't want to see her! Rainie said she'll be home soon. Maybe she's on the way right now. My daughter is very well-behaved and would call me as soon as something happened... She would help me clean up and take care of her little brother. She would give me a goodbye kiss before she went to school every day. She's like an angel that brings joy to everyone around her. She won't leave me!" 1

She cried as she talked, desperately trying to prepare herself.

The young officer, Jim Holston, frowned slightly when he noticed that she was not in the right headspace.

He saw that a hair bow on the little girl’s pigtail had fallen.

Jim understood that the loss of a beloved daughter would be a huge blow to a mother, and he knew that Bianca did not dare to see the child under the white cloth.

Hence, he picked up the hair bow and gently placed it in Bianca's hand." Madam, does this belong to your daughter?"

Bianca looked at the pink bow and broke down.

The pink bow looked ordinary, but it was inlaid with a tiny diamond.

The diamond was in the shape of a heart. She had bought it for Rainie last time.

Looking at the familiar hair bow, she could not help but fall to the ground. She covered her face and thought of Rainie's sweet voice saying to her," Mommy, this pink bow is so beautiful! Can you braid my hair and clip it on?" "Of course, anything for my dear Rainie!" "Thank you, Mommy! You’re the most beautiful and gentle mommy in the world!"

Rainie's childish and sweet voice replayed in Bianca's mind.

Bianca's fingertips still had the scent of her daughter's hair...

However, she did not expect that in a blink of an eye, they would be separated from each other. She was unwilling to accept it!

"Rainie, Rainie..." Bianca threw herself on the stretcher. She knelt on the rubble and debris, her knees bleeding from the impact. However, she did not feel the slightest pain.

It was chaotic all around, and Bianca's distressed appearance made many people tear up even more. Even a man like Jim, who had experienced countless life and death situations, empathized with her.

"Madam, please give way. We're going to take her away..." The paramedic wearing a mask wanted to pull Bianca up.

Bianca's eyes were red and swollen from crying. Her body was trembling. She tried her best to stand up, but it felt like she was weighed down by tens of thousands of kilograms. She could not move. She felt that she could not breathe properly, and her soul seemed to be crushed into pieces.

When the rescuers were about to leave with the corpse, Bianca summoned her courage and gently lifted the white cloth with her hands...

Under the white cloth was an adorable but pale and unfamiliar face. Her features were different from Rainie's.

It was not her daughter.

Bianca was stunned but relieved that it was not Rainie.

However, looking at the child's face that showed no signs of life, her sadness did not go away. Rather, she was overwhelmed.

Although it was not her daughter, this child also used to be alive.

She was sorrowful and thought of how her parents would feel after they learned of such bad news...

Suddenly, Bianca's phone rang and she immediately answered as soon as she saw the caller ID. Her voice was stern and full of panic, "Rainie, is that you? Baby, tell me, where are you now?"

Rainie was taken aback by her mother's irritable tone. She stammered," Mommy... I... I was at Four Seasons Flower Shop with my classmates... This flower shop is owned by a relative of my classmates. She offered us a 20% discount... so... So we came here instead... Don't be angry, I didn't mean to hide it from you..."

Bianca withstood the tears in her eyes. She was overjoyed to learn that her daughter was alive, but her voice was still trembling as she uttered, "Rainie, in the future, no matter where you go, you must keep me posted, okay? I'm worried about you... Go back to school after you're done buying flowers and wait for me to pick you up when school is over. Don't run around, okay?

Rainie answered obediently, "I understand, Mommy. Don't worry, I’ll listen to you."

After she hung up the phone, Bianca was completely relieved. Her daughter was fine and was not buried in the rubble.

However, looking at the messy and terrible scene before her, as well as hearing the painful groans of the rescued victims, her heart fell again.

Was this accident caused by an internal structure problem or was it a manmade problem?

Luke should be busy. How would he deal with this crisis?

Bianca hurriedly tied up her messy hair and hurriedly left the site, intending to rush to T Corporation.

Her eyes were red and swollen, while her black suit was stained with sand, mud, and debris.

However, Bianca, who had always been obsessed with cleanliness, could not be bothered to clean herself up now. She was hoping to get a ride to T Corporation.

The weather in September was unpredictable as it changed as it pleased.

The sun was still shining a moment ago, but the wind suddenly turned violent and stormy clouds followed.

The thunder rumbled, and torrential rain pattered against the windows.

The rain fell ceaselessly, and the dark sky seemed like it was going to burst at any second.

The wind carried the rain while the rain urged the wind like they were chasing one another in a competition. The city was covered by a misty curtain of rain.

The weather was already terrible, and because of the accident at The Galleria, there was heavy traffic on the road. It made it extremely difficult for anyone to get a taxi.

Bianca walked a long distance in the rain and waited for nearly an hour before she managed to hail an empty taxi.

She hurriedly got into the car, her entire body soaking wet.

The taxi driver was a chubby middle-aged man. He was tanned and chatty.

The driver looked at Bianca's messy appearance and then at the congestion on the road. He could not help but say, "Usually, it's quite easy to get a taxi around here, but today, it's raining heavily and the nearby The Galleria collapsed... It’s terrible! The Galleria has been in A City for as long as I can remember, how could something happen so suddenly? More than a hundred people have lost their lives in a blink of an eye. The blackhearted developer is the one to blame! They must've cut corners and caused the building to collapse. They should be fined until they go bankrupt! I hope that they have it coming for them, so they know how it feels to lose their families!'

Bianca knew that the driver was only standing up for the victims, so she kept quiet. Her expression seemed indifferent, but her hands that were placed on her knees trembled uncontrollably. Even the palms of her hands were sweating.

She pressed on her tightly knitted eyebrows, feeling very uncomfortable.

If the collapse of The Galleria was not handled properly, it would be a fatal blow to T Corporation!

T Corporation.

Despite the roaring thunder and violent storm outside, there was still a swarm of people surrounding T Corporation.

Some of them were holding umbrellas to keep themselves dry, but some of the youths were standing directly under the rainstorm, allowing the rain to fall on their bodies.

They were drenched and looked pitiful.

The crowd was holding huge banners and filled with outrage! They were demanding justice from T Corporation!

"T Corporation developed low-quality real estate! The Galleria collapsed and hundreds of people died. We're weeping and praying for the government to stand up for the people!" "They cut corners to save costs on construction works, making weak walls. Now, they're pushing the responsibility. T Corporation, you're unscrupulous! Get out of A City!" "We strongly resist T Corporation who blatantly disregard human life. We must defend our rights to comfort the souls of the dead!"

Those big white banners had bright red fonts on them, reminding Bianca of blood. It made anyone who saw them uncomfortable.

Those who were gathered for the protest included college students, elites in suits and leather shoes, old people with gray hair, and even unkempt vagrants...

It was such a weird combination of people. Although it seemed like they were seeking justice for the victims of The Galleria, Bianca inexplicably felt that something was weird with the scene even though she had just gotten out of the car.

Something felt off.

All the security guards of T Corporation had been dispatched, and countless police officers were maintaining order. All of a sudden, the police and the people were confronting each other. The conflict grew more and more intense.

Among them were several people who reacted extremely. They threw rotten eggs and vegetables at the police and security guards.

One of the men who led the protest held a big loudspeaker, shouting into it, "Look, everyone, T Corporation's reckless behavior has led to the loss of beloved family members but the police are still protecting T Corporation! They're birds of a feather, so will we avenge the compatriots who were sacrificed in this accident?

"Comrades, have you forgotten the incident of the poor mother and son who died in the fire in the high- end community 'Greenview Regalia' developed by T Corporation three years ago? We thought that after such a major accident, the executives of T Corporation would've learned their lesson and serve the people well. However, they've deceived us once again. We can no longer sit still! We have to fight forthose we've lost and get justice for them. Get them-”

The stormy weather had everyone in a bad mood, and with the accident that had happened, many people were emotional. Through the instigation of the leaders, the masses, especially those who lost their relatives in the accident, rushed to T Corporation like a bull seeing red!

The glass revolving door of T Corporation was almost smashed, and several high-level officials in charge of public relations were injured by the crowd who went out of control. For a moment, the situation was completely wild.

Bianca was shocked. She was smart enough to know that it was not a good idea to rush into the crowd. If she did, her petite body would be taken down within seconds and it would be fruitless.

Hence, she took a secret passage.

This passage was set up to protect the privacy and safety of the senior management. Only the senior executives above the vice president level were qualified to know of its existence. The elevator in this passage led directly to the CEO’s office.

CEO's office.

As soon as Bianca opened the door, she saw Luke's tall figure standing in front of the huge French windows. He was staring at the mayhem outside.

His figure appeared exceptionally lonely, and at the same time, there was forbearance.

Countless cigarette butts had been thrown to the floor behind him, and there was still a lit cigarette in his hand.

Bianca empathized with him. She hugged him from behind and gently called out his name, "Luke..."

Luke's body stiffened slightly before he turned around, embracing her into his arms.

Luke's magnetic voice was extremely hoarse as he asked, "Why are you here?"

Bianca clung to his body to warm herself up. "Of course, I have to be here for this. Why didn't you tell me?"

Luke sighed and answered, "You're still sick. You don't need to worry about this kind of thing, I'll take care of it. Silly, why did you come here without bringing an umbrella? What if your illness worsens?"

In this high-stress situation, his priority was still her health-

Bianca's long eyelashes trembled as she firmly gripped his sleeve. Tears quietly slipped out as she uttered, "I... I just went to the collapsed site of The Galleria. It was a mess and the scene was tragic... Luke, was there a problem with the structure? If... If it is because of a problem on our end, will T Corporation face bankruptcy? Will... you be arrested?”
