Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 851- Why Would She Show Up At This Time?

There was an unexpected guest at lunch. That was a young man in his late twenties who looked somewhat effeminate.

He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and his hair was in a side part hairstyle. He looked like a business elite.

Old Mrs. Norman explained that the young man was named Brody Hilton, and he was the grandson of a good friend. He had just returned from abroad and was here to visit Old Mrs. Norman.

She said that the young man had a good background. He had a doctorate from MIT, and he was currently the chairman of an Esports association under Hilton Corporation, as well as the general manager of several media companies.

Throughout lunch, Old Mrs. Norman's gaze flitted between Leia and Brody.

Her matchmaking intentions were all too obvious.

Bianca did not have a good impression of that young man. He might seem gentlemanly, but Bianca always felt that his eyes often wandered toward her chest.

Bianca was dressed in a conservative dress that covered her body from her neck down, but that did not stop Brody from ogling at her.

That was utterly disgusting.

Old Mrs. Norman held Leia's hand and introduced her to Brody. "This is Leia, my granddaughter whom I've mentioned to you before. She had a degree in Visual and Performing Arts from the London College of Arts.

"She's an outstanding actress. She's even won a gold award from the Houston International Film Festival, not to mention all the awards from the other events. It's just that she has been focusing on her career, and she hasn't found a significant other yet. As her grandmother, I'm so worried about her!"

Brody put down the cutlery in his hands in a deliberate manner and said exaggeratedly, "Wow! That can't be! Your granddaughter is so outstanding, and she doesn't have a boyfriend yet?"

He had been attracted by Bianca’s pure demeanor ever since he stepped into the house. His eyes could not look away from Bianca, and he could not be bothered about Leia.

Under Old Mrs. Norman's insistent coaxing, Brody glanced reluctantly at Leia. He was not very interested in Leia's modest and diffident looks, especially when contrasted to Bianca's magnanimous and elegant demeanor.

Even so, he reached out and shook Leia's hand as a sign of respect to Old Mrs. Norman, though he sounded quite arrogant. "Nice to meet you, Ms. Norman. I am Brody, and my parents own Hilton Corporation. I am currently managing one of Hilton Corporation's subsidiaries, and it is my pleasure to meet you."

Leia was once part of the entertainment industry, and she had seen her fair share of handsome men. The young man in front of her was not considered exceedingly handsome, but he came from a wealthy family. Hilton Corporation could be considered one of the top corporations in A City.

Leia was even more interested when her grandmother said that Brody was the sole heir to the family business.

She pretended to be bashful as she said softly, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Hilton."

In the past, she would not even have bothered looking at him.

However, her current situation did not give her too many options.

After all, her reputation was in tatters, and her status in the Norman family was precarious. She needed to find someone wealthy and influential to support her. The young man in front of her was the perfect candidate in every aspect.

Unexpectedly, after shaking hands with her, Brody turned his gaze away and looked at Bianca. "Who is this woman, Grandma Norman? Won't you introduce her to me?"

Bianca was not in the mood to entertain him. She was picking off the bones from a piece of fish on her grandfather's plate. She smiled when her grandfather was happy too.

When Bianca was not smiling, she had the demeanor of a distant star -- noble yet untouchable. When she smiled, her eyes became crescent moons, and her pink lips curled upward. That caused Brody's heart to beat wildly.

He tried to calm his heart down as he asked Old Mrs. Norman again, "Is this woman from another family? Why haven't I met her before?"

Old Mr. Norman grunted happily. Like Bianca, he was also ignoring him.

Old Mrs. Norman seemed awkward as she explained, "Oh, she’s also my granddaughter. She has only recently reunited with the Normans. You probably didn't know about it since you were abroad."

Brody's eyes sparkled with interest. "You're also Grandma Norman's granddaughter? Grandma Norman, why didn't you introduce this beautiful lady to me? May I know your name, Miss? How old are you, and are you currently seeing anyone?"

Bianca was appalled by Brody's ill-intentioned gaze. She was even more appalled by the fact that he was almost drooling. "I'm sorry, but I'm already married with children. My eldest children are eight, and

the youngest is three," she said coldly.

The young man's expression changed drastically as though he had suffered a major blow. He looked at Old Mrs. Norman and asked, "Is what she said true, Grandma Norman? Is she already married with children? She looks so young!" "Mm," Old Mrs. Norman replied impassively.

At that moment, she was extremely dissatisfied with Bianca. Why would Bianca show up right when she wanted to match Leia with a prospective husband?

Leia almost could not maintain the stiff smile on her face.

She had the urge to throw her plate at Bianca's face.

'That seductress! I wish I could ruin that seemingly young face!

'She's already almost thirty years old! Why does she look as though she's in her early twenties?'

A hint of malice appeared in Leia's eyes. She told Brody, "My elder sister might look innocent and harmless, but she's already twenty-seven years old. She only got married a few years ago. She gave birth to her eldest children when she was eighteen... Ahem, I hope I didn't misspeak. Her relationship with her husband is, frankly, quite dramatic..."

Old Mr. Norman coughed deliberately and shot an accusatory glance at Leia.

Leia put her hands over her mouth and lowered her head sheepishly, pretending that she had misspoken.

Brody's obsessive gaze instantly turned into contempt when he heard those words.

'She's barely legal when she gave birth to her eldest children. Does she have any morals?'

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 852-A Weird Man With A Weird Opinion

Brody might have been abroad for many years and interacted with many women there, but he remained a conservative and chauvinistic man. He could not tolerate his future wife having sexual relations with other men before marriage.

He grunted contemptuously and said, "I guess young women are more liberal nowadays. They like preening themselves and sleep around while they're barely legal. How shameless! If I were to marry a woman like that, she'd be making me a cuckold the next day!"

He thought that Bianca looked pure and innocent, but he did not expect that she was so immodest.

His expression was extremely unpleasant, as though he had swallowed a dead fly.

Bianca shot a disdainful glance at Brody and chuckled. She was not going to entertain him.

That man did not specifically name her, but Bianca was less than impressed by his beliefs.

'Is he from the Victorian era? Who still thinks like that nowadays?

'To think that he works abroad, too!'

Old Mr. Norman seemed extremely unhappy because of Brody's words, but he was not going to say anything because the young man did not directly insult Bianca.

He coughed authoritatively to break the awkward atmosphere. "Let's eat. The food is getting cold!"

Old Mrs. Norman was a conservative woman. She agreed with what Brody said.

She did not forget to praise her favorite granddaughter as she spoke." Brody is right. So many young women are lacking in dignity. They wear spaghetti straps and short shorts while walking all over the

streets, and that makes them look like prostitutes! Those women abandon their morals in pursuit of beauty and gratification, and some of them get pregnant before they're married. How shameful! Back in my days, those women would have drowned in spit!

"Leia isn't like that. She's docile, considerate, and obedient. She has a strict upbringing, thanks to my son and daughter-in-law, and she has always been a good girl who never steps out of line. She might have had a career in the entertainment industry, but she's never even gone on a date..." "She's never even gone on a date?’

Brody looked at Leia excitedly.

'Does that mean that she’s still a virgin?'

That woman was not as beautiful or fair as Bianca, but she seemed gentle and kind. She possessed a unique charm whenever she was embarrassed.

Most importantly, according to Grandma Norman, she had not even gone on a date even though she had a career in entertainment.

As far as he knew, the actresses in the entertainment industry often had unclean secrets. Brody guessed that no one dared to touch Leia because of her father's status.

Brody suddenly thought that dating Leia was not a bad idea after all.

He scrutinized Leia arrogantly as though inspecting an article of clothing before buying it. "Grandma Norman said that you have a degree in Performing and Visual Arts from the London College of Arts. Is that true?"

Leia nodded bashfully and flashed a perfect smile. "Mmm..." "Pardon me for being blunt. I think that it's a good thing that women are educated, but it depends on what they do with that knowledge. I'm not too

happy about dating an actress. When you act in a scene with other actors, there will be physically intimate scenes. I don't wish for my future wife to be so exposed in public. All I want for a woman is to raise children, do housework, and serve her in-laws at home. That should be the duty of a married woman."

Brody spoke so seriously, but Bianca wanted to laugh at his hilarious expression.

'Oh my god. Where did this guy come from?'

If he were at her home, she would have chased him out of the house with a broom!

Leia almost could not maintain the smile on her face. "You're right, Mr. Hilton. I've been considering my retirement from the entertainment industry. I've been learning cooking, painting, and flower arrangement from my mother, and I only want to be a housewife in the future." novelbin

If it were before, she would not have hesitated to give that man two tight slaps on his face.

She could not do that now, and all she could do was smile superficially.

Her reply satisfied Brody. Once again, he carefully examined her from head to toe. "Mm, your face is a lot fairer than your neck, Ms. Norman. Did you put on make-up? It looks like you overdid your face. Your face is as pale as a ghost, but your neck is tanned like barbeque. Tsk tsk..."

Bianca nearly spat out the cream of corn in her mouth.

'What's wrong with this guy?'

She could not help but look at Leia with some pity. Why did Old Mrs. Norman match her with that weirdo?

Leia resisted the urge to throw up. She stopped herself from losing her temper by thinking of Brody's looks and his wealthy family. "I wasn't too careful with the make-up because the weather is too hot. I don't usually put on make-up at home either."

Brody frowned and said seriously, "Mm, it's good that you don't put on make-up at home, but you need to have good skin. I don't like women who have bad skin. Also, I don't like women who put on make-up. My mother never puts on make-up. Only sleazy, ugly women would want to hide their original appearance!" "Yes, you're right." Leia was trying hard not to overreact.

"Pfft!"

Bianca could not hold it in anymore. She had taken a sip of water, but she spat it out.

Brody frowned even harder as he stared at her, while Leia's eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

Bianca tried hard not to laugh out loud. She elegantly wiped her mouth with a napkin and said, "Sorry for the disturbance. Please, do continue..."

Brody grunted unhappily, turned to look at Leia, and continued to brag." Also, a wife needs to serve her husband and cater to his needs. Of course, I'll treat my wife well too. Not that I want to brag, but there aren't many men in A City with my looks, wealth, and social status. It would be a great loss to any woman who doesn't pursue me! Also, I..."

Bianca almost could not take it anymore. 'Where does this man get his confidence?'

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 853-Setting Her Up

Of course, Bianca did not say it.

After all, she did not want anything to do with that man.

Whatever he did was none of her business.

The rest of the lunch was just as dramatic. Bianca enjoyed her meal while watching the comedy. On the other hand, Leia was the total opposite. The meal was tasteless, and she found it hard to swallow her food.

After lunch, Brody and Leia looked at each other for a while, and he invited her to go shopping.

Old Mrs. Norman stared earnestly at Leia, and she could only agree sheepishly.

After the couple left, Bianca stayed at home and played chess with Old Mr. Norman.

Old Mr. Norman was a skilled player, but Bianca was not bad either. That was how they spent the next two hours.

While playing, Bianca and her grandfather chatted about architecture. Bianca was surprised that her grandfather was quite knowledgeable in architecture, even more so than some professional architects, even though he did not have a degree in it. That impressed Bianca quite a bit.

As Old Mr. Norman captured one of Bianca's pawns, he said,"... The design of a building is influenced by both natural or manmade factors. A good design will make its surroundings better instead of becoming a burden. The interior and exterior of a building should follow the natural order. It's not easy to be an outstanding designer, Bea. You might have a degree in architectural design, but you still have a lot to learn."

Bianca moved one of her bishops backward to protect her other pieces and said respectfully, "Thank you for your wisdom, Grandpa. I will remember what you said." "Mm," Old Mr. Norman replied satisfactorily and continued, "Also, you should keep on practicing your painting. There are many similarities between painting and architectural design. When a designer designs a building, they will have to figure out how to place everything while allowing enough space for movement. Similarly, painting is about finding the balance between positive and negative space. We shouldn't always be looking for something that would fill our lives. Sometimes, we have to take a step back and enjoy the idle moments." "Mm, I know." "Also, I have a collection of antique books about traditional architectural design. You can take a few books home and understand how people in the past thought..."

Old Mr. Norman imparted a lot of wisdom to Bianca, which she remembered.

Eventually, Old Mr. Norman began to yawn. Bianca could see that he was getting sleepy, so she helped him to his bedroom. After that, she went to the study and looked for the titles that her grandfather had told her.

There were many shelves in the study, and the books covered many areas of knowledge. It was like a mini library.

Moreover, the books were neatly arranged by categories, such as politics, economics, language, design, and art. It was easy for Bianca to find what she wanted.

Bianca began to look through the architecture section. All the books there were worth reading.

She picked several classic books on architecture, sat in front of the desk, and began to read.

When Leia returned, she noticed that the door of her grandfather's study was ajar, while Bianca was sitting inside reading.

Her hair was swept back, and her fair and slender neck was revealed. As she sat there and read quietly, her tranquil and elegant demeanor seemed irresistibly attractive.

Leia was reminded of Brody's eager gaze on Bianca, and she became angry. She took several steps and went into the study.

After she was inside, she deliberately flaunted her new outfit.

Brody had given her the money to buy it. She wanted to show it off to Bianca.

Unexpectedly, Bianca did not seem to notice her, even though she tried to look as flashy as possible. Bianca's eyes were transfixed on that boring book, and she did not even lift her head to give Leia a single glance.

Leia was annoyed by that. She coughed loudly and shouted into Bianca's ear. "Bianca!"

Bianca was shocked by the sudden noise.

She lifted her head away from the book and frowned when she noticed that it was Leia. "It's you..." "What are you reading? You're so engrossed. You didn't even see me coming in." Leia pouted and danced around Bianca like a butterfly. She wanted to show off her new outfit and accessories. novelbin

Bianca did not even look at her. "Get out. I'm reading," she said.

Leia was instantly furious. She slammed the bags of luxury goods on the table heavily and said, "You don't have the right to ask me to leave! This is Grandpa and Grandma's house!"

Bianca did not even lift her head. "You're welcome to stay here, but please be quiet. I don't like being disturbed when I'm reading."

Leia was extremely irritated by Bianca's nonchalance.

Suddenly, she noticed her grandfather's antique inkwell in front of Bianca, and she had an idea.

As far as she knew, the antique inkwell was over a hundred years old, and it was carved entirely by hand. It looked dark like ink, but at night, it would give off a gentle white light. Jack had won it in an auction at a high price.

Old Mr. Norman treasures the inkwell. He would usually keep it safe whenever guests were around.

Leia only saw it out in the open once. Why was it placed on the table today?

However, she was not bothered by the reason the inkwell was on the table.

While Bianca was focused on the book, Leia discreetly shifted the inkwell from the middle of the table, past the pile of books, and to the edge.

If Bianca moved her elbow, the inkwell would fall onto the floor and shatter

Bianca was engrossed in reading. She did not notice Leia's discreet actions.

Leia stood behind Bianca like a phantom and smiled sinisterly. "I'll leave you to your book then. I'm heading off to Grandma's room."

She turned around to leave, but she pretended to stumble and "accidentally " bumped into Bianca's back.

Bianca was pushed forward, and her right elbow knocked onto the items on the table. The inkwell fell onto the floor with a bang...

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 854-He Treats His Granddaughters Differently

The exquisite inkwell fell on the floor, but it did not shatter as ordinary ones would.

However, one of its corners chipped off when it hit the floor, giving it an ugly imperfection.

Leia pretended to cover her mouth. She half-closed her eyes to hide the cunning in her gaze. "Sorry for bumping into you, Bianca, but... you broke Grandpa's favorite inkwell! Don't you know that it's an antique? Dad bought it at his old friend's auction at a high price. Grandpa usually keeps it safe, but you..." novelbin

Bianca's heart skipped a beat when she saw the inkwell on the floor. She had an ominous feeling about it.

She had never seen that small antique before, but she could tell from the exquisite carvings that it was worth a lot of money. It was a pitiful sight that it lay broken on the floor.

At the same time, the old couple came into the study.

Old Mr. Norman could sense that the atmosphere in the study was not quite right. "What's wrong?" He asked sternly.

Leia hurriedly ran next to Old Mr. Norman, pointed deliberately at the inkwell on the floor, and spoke with fake regret, "Grandpa, Bianca accidentally broke your inkwell. She didn't mean to, please don't blame her

Old Mr. Norman's eyes fell on the lonely inkwell on the floor. For a brief moment, his brown eyes flashed with uncontrollable anger.

A vein on his forehead bulged as well.

His penetrating gaze fell on Bianca. "Why would you suddenly break the inkwell, Bianca? How could you be so careless?"

Old Mrs. Norman began to reprimand shrilly, "You're such a nuisance, Bianca! That is your grandpa's most treasured possession. He doesn't even let me touch it, but you've broken it! You're already a grown adult, but you're still so unreliable!"

Old Mr. Norman crouched down on the floor, picked up the pieces of the broken inkwell, and held them in his palm.

Bianca could see that he was very sad. He was trembling slightly, and his usually straight back was hunched over.

She did not attempt to make excuses. Instead, her heart wrenched as she saw her grandfather gazing dearly at the broken inkwell in his hands.

She glared at Leia and saw that the woman was looking at her innocently but with a hint of smugness in her eyes. That made Bianca chuckle coldly.

She did not expect Leia would go to such lengths just to frame her.

However, this was not the time to point fingers.

Bianca lowered her head, slowly got down on the floor, and helped her grandfather pick up the pieces. "I'm sorry, Grandpa. This is entirely my fault. I'll bear responsibility for this."

Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Norman was not going to let go of the chance to criticize Bianca.

She instantly scrunched up her face and began to yell. "I told you not to let Bianca come and visit us so often, dear. Look, she always courts trouble whenever she's here. Your asthma flared up the last time she was here. Before that, she brought us some tea, and that made my blood pressure go up, and I

had to be hospitalized. This time, she broke your antique inkwell. Don't you think that she's nothing but a nuisance? She's here to wreck our house!"

Bianca bit her lower lip, and her face became slightly pale.

She had already known that her grandmother was not fond of her, but when she heard those insulting words, she felt tears welling up in her eyes.

Old Mr. Norman glared at his wife and said sternly, "How can you say that about our granddaughter? Bea doesn't have any ulterior motive when she comes to visit us. She visited us the last time because she heard that my asthma was flaring up. My health condition has nothing to do with her.

Also, you're already suffering from high blood pressure anyway. You didn't take the tea that Bea gave us, even though it's supposed to help you with your blood pressure, but instead, you ate the venison that she brought me. Bea even reminded you that you shouldn't eat the venison, but you were greedy. Why are you blaming her? The inkwell might be precious, but my granddaughter is priceless to me. How can you compare the two?"

Bianca felt a lot better knowing that her grandfather was on her side.

"Thank you, Grandpa.” Bianca sounded like she was sobbing. "This is indeed my fault. Don't worry. I'll find a way to restore it. Please trust me!"

Leia's expression was extremely unpleasant. She did not expect that Old Mr. Norman would still be speaking up for Bianca.

'Isn't the inkwell Grandpa's most prized possession?

"Grandpa scolded me when I touched it the last time. Now that Bianca broke it, he doesn't even say a harsh word! Why does Grandpa treat his granddaughters so differently?

'Pah! Is it because I'm adopted?'

Old Mrs. Norman was exasperated by her husband's reply. She instantly looked older with all the wrinkles on her face.

"Hmph! This inkwell is more than a hundred years old. Do you think you can repair it like repairing a chipped bowl? Old man, if the inkwell isn't as precious as you make it, then I don't want to hear you complaining about it! Let's go, Leia. Ignore this old geezer!"

Old Mrs. Norman grunted unhappily and brought Leia out of the study.

"Don't be angry at Bianca, Grandma. She really doesn't mean it..." Leia continued to pretend to speak up for Bianca, but Bianca thought that it was incredibly ironic.

"You don't have to speak up for her, Leia. I know that you're a kind girl. You'd better stay away from your elder sister. Otherwise, you might become unlucky too..." Old Mrs. Norman grumbled unhappily.

Leia held Old Mrs. Norman's arm and walked away from the study. Before she left, she turned around to glance smugly at Bianca, but she did not expect that Bianca would be staring at her.

The gaze was ice-cold, which made Leia shiver uncontrollably.

However, she realized that she had nothing to be afraid of. Bianca was the one who broke the inkwell anyway.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 855-Her Days of Running Rampant Are Almost Over

Bianca returned to her house unhappily with the pieces of the broken inkwell in her hand.

The caretaker noticed her from afar and said excitedly, "You're back, Madam. Sir was mentioning you earlier. What do you want for dinner?"

Bianca glanced at her watch and noticed that it was half-past six. She was quite surprised.

"Luke usually comes home late. Why is he home so early today?" Her voice was more shrill than usual.

The caretaker smiled. "I didn't ask him, but he seems to be in a good mood

Bianca nodded and stepped into the living room.

Luke was sitting on the couch reading a financial newspaper. He smiled happily when he saw his wife come into the house. "You're back." "Mm.’’ Bianca took off her jacket and tossed it on the couch.

Luke could see the worry in Bianca's face.

Luke put the newspaper away, hugged her from behind, and gently kissed her. "What's wrong? Why do you look so down? Did someone bully you?" novelbin

Bianca opened the box in her hands and revealed the broken inkwell inside. "No one bullied me. I was at Grandpa's house earlier, and I broke his antique inkwell..." she said dejectedly.

Luke picked up one of the pieces and rubbed it between his fingers.

He felt the sharp edges of the broken piece and suddenly smiled. "I thought it was something serious. Don't worry, I know a master conservator. No matter how broken an antique might be, it'll be as good as new in his hands. I'll bring the inkwell to him."

Bianca looked at Luke with surprise. Her eyes were sparkling, but there was a hint of doubt. "The inkwell is already broken like this. There should still be cracks even if your friend manages to restore it, isn't it? It won't be as perfect as it once was."

Luke smiled and gently pinched her earlobe. "I trust in his abilities, and he'll definitely be able to give you a perfect inkwell. Why, don't you trust your husband?"

Bianca felt slightly relieved when she saw how confident he looked. "Of course I trust you. I hope that the inkwell can be restored. I felt so guilty when I saw how sad he was when he looked at the broken pieces..."

Noticing that something was amiss, Luke frowned. "What actually happened? You're not usually so clumsy. You rarely break anything at home, so how did you break Grandpa's inkwell?"

Luke could tell that the inkwell was very expensive.

Old Mr. Norman was an antique lover, and he would usually keep his antiques safe. What coincidence must it be for his wife to "accidentally" break it!

Bianca half-closed her eyes and told him what happened at her grandfather’s house.

Luke chuckled after listening to the entire story. "I thought Leia would've already learned her lesson. Don't worry, her days of running rampant are over. I'll make sure that she won't cause any more trouble."

Bianca wanted to ask if he was going to do something to her, but she did not ask the question anyway.

After dinner, the couple sat on the balcony to enjoy the night scenery.

They had not spent their personal time like that for a long time.

It would be the weekend tomorrow. The driver would bring the twins and Tommy back to their mansion, and the couple would not have any more personal space.

Luke saw that Bianca remained unhappy. There was a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Are you still thinking about the inkwell? Don’t worry, it's no big deal at all."

Bianca smiled at him. "Mm, I know."

Luke continued, "You should stay at home for now. Wayne hasn't been arrested yet, and I'm afraid that he might strike again." "Don't worry, I'll be careful. I haven't been working for a very, very long time. I don't want to feel useless."

Even though Bianca knew that she would not have to worry about her finances because she was married to Luke, she did not want to be idle.

Moreover, she was already running her own company. It was stressful, but she felt very accomplished whenever she was at work.

Luke did not agree, and there seemed to be no room for negotiation.

Bianca hugged his neck and said coyly, "I can look after myself, my husband. If you're still worried, I'll bring a few bodyguards with me."

Luke took in her fragrance and tightly hugged her slender waist. "Wayne is much more dangerous than you think. You should know how ruthless he can get. Zander is still in the hospital, and I don't wish anything to happen to you."

Zander was Bianca's driver and bodyguard. When Kassy abducted Bianca, she had heavily injured Zander. He was still in the hospital in a coma.

Bianca felt uneasy after being reminded about what happened to her bodyguard. She could only comply with Luke's wishes. "Alright, I'll stay at home for another month. Next month, I'll have to go to work no matter what. I can't be idle any longer. The rent is expensive, and my employees are waiting for me to pay them."

Luke could not help but chuckle. "So what about that? I can pay for it. You have nothing to worry about?"

Bianca pinched his waist and glared at him. "Do you think that your money grows on trees? If you're going to waste your money like that, be careful that our children won't have any money to eat." "Don't worry. They can be jobless for all their lives, and their inheritance would be enough to last them several lifetimes." Luke laughed and went to the wine cabinet to retrieve a bottle of red wine.

Then, he turned on the mini projector on the left side of the balcony.

He fiddled with the remote and browsed to the horror section.

He selected "The Curse of the Village," a classic horror film, and pressed the play button.

He remembered watching the movie a few years ago. The movie was very old, but it was nonetheless scary. He was drenched in a cold sweat at the end of the movie.

He had heard before that a man should watch a horror movie with his girlfriend or wife.

Luke was curious to find out what his wife's reaction would be.

Would she be shaking in fear, or would she snuggle in his arms looking for comfort?

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 856-Weren’t We Watching A Horror Movie...

Bianca was watering the plants on the balcony with a watering can.

She had just put the watering can away when she saw Luke browsing the movie catalog.

She noticed the name of the movie that Luke had picked and could not help but ask, "Why are you playing a horror movie? I thought you always like sci-fi or war movies."

She did not want to admit that she was afraid of watching horror movies.

That would make Luke think that she was a coward.

Luke smiled and turned off all the lights in the room. "Let's watch something else today. Don’t worry, I'm here," he said mysteriously.

He beckoned at Bianca and told her to sit on his lap.

Bianca hesitated for a while before sitting down next to him. She was not fond of horror movies, but she was very curious about the contents of the movie.

With Luke sitting next to her, she was not as afraid. In fact, she was quite looking forward to it.

She leaned on his chest as he started playing the movie.

The movie had just started playing when the caretaker placed a plate of cut fruits on the round table in front of them...

Next to them were the floor-to-ceiling windows. If they turned their heads, they could see the scenery outside.

The curtains were sheer and white. The moonlight shone in through the thin curtains and created romantic patterns on the floor.

The flowers on the balcony were in full bloom, and the starry sky was the backdrop to the dreamy scene.

It was blissful indeed to be curling up in her beloved man's arms on such a perfect night.

Bianca ate the fruits while watching the movie. After a while, the movie became scarier and scarier.

The classic movie was about a man who could see ghosts and spirits. After a botched seance, he caught the attention of a malicious female ghost. After his friends died one by one under increasingly mysterious circumstances, he began to see more and more malicious spirits. Bianca was increasingly frightened by the plot.

Whenever Bianca felt afraid, she would start eating to calm herself down. She did not notice that Luke's hand was creeping up onto her intimate parts.

When a pair of sharp claws appeared on the ground in the movie, Bianca shrieked in fear and spat out the cherry that she had just placed in her mouth.

She nearly jumped out of her seat. "Oh my god! That was too frightening!

Fortunately, the movie isn't in 3D. I'd have a heart attack!"

Even though it was not a 3D movie, the sound effects and music were topnotch. The frightful scenes on the big screen made Bianca burrow deeper into Luke's arms. novelbin

Meanwhile, Luke looked at the screen without showing any expression on his face.

The bloody scenes and horrifying characters did not scare him. Instead, he thought that classic movies seemed rather cheesy. His gaze eventually fell on the shivering Bianca.

His wife's face was pale, but her eyes remained transfixed on the screen. She did not realize that a cherry had fallen from her mouth.

Luke decided to play a prank on his wife. He abruptly poked Bianca's back, which caused her to jerk up and hug his neck tightly. "Ahh! A ghost!”

She clung onto Luke tightly. Luke almost could not breathe.

He did not expect that his seemingly frail wife could be so strong when she was in a panic. He was beginning to sweat.

‘This woman!’

He did not say a word, though each of her movements continued to arouse him.

Bianca managed to catch her breath. She noticed that there was something wrong with Luke.

She saw that Luke was dripping with sweat, and his expression was rather abnormal. "Are you afraid of horror movies too, Luke? Should we stop here for today?" She asked as she gently patted his cheek.

"No, I'm not afraid," Luke said with much difficulty.

Of course, Bianca did not believe him. She wiped away the sweat on his forehead and said, "See? You're already sweating, heheh. Your body temperature is also quite high. Don't tell me that you're not afraid..."

Luke hugged her tightly in his arms. "That's all because of you!"

Bianca shifted away guiltily. She was blushing hard. "I... I was quite afraid earlier. That guy died so suddenly..."

Luke burst out in laughter and stuffed a piece of fruit into her mouth." Watch the movie and keep your hands to yourself. I can't be responsible for what happens next."

Bianca stuck out her tongue at him. She looked like a squirrel when she nibbled on the piece of fruit. Luke became quite aroused watching her, but she was too focused on the movie to pay any attention to him.

A few minutes later, the scene became scary again...

Bianca shrieked fearfully. One of her hands hugged Luke's neck tightly, while the other hand dug into his chest.

Luke had to tolerate her reactions while enduring the physical abuse she inflicted on him. He gently patted her head and said softly, "Good girl. If you're afraid, you can close your eyes. There'll be much more horrific and bloody scenes later.”

Bianca believed him. She instantly closed her eyes tightly.

Luke grinned mischievously. He leaned over and held her head.

His thin lips converged onto hers.

Her lips tasted faintly of cherries, while his of wine.

The sounds they made in their moments of intimacy while watching the horror movie were surprisingly gentle and seductive.

The man's kisses were gentle, as though he treasured her.

Bianca knew that he had tricked her, but she was not angry. Instead, her eyes remained closed as she responded to his advances.

Soon, Bianca realized that something was amiss.

The man seemed to be more and more aroused. He took off her clothes, and before she knew it, she was already lying on the lounge bed on the balcony and pinned under a muscular body...

"Ahh..."

Weren't we watching a horror movie? Why are we in bed now?

‘That's not how the plot should develop!'

Bianca's mind was in a muddle. She wanted to reject Luke's advances, but his kisses made her dizzy.

She threw reason out of the window and let her instincts take charge of her actions.

The movie was not important anymore. What was important was that her husband was there for her.

The moon and the stars were the witnesses to their love. She hoped that they could remain like this forever.

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 857-She Bore the Child of A Criminal

Meanwhile, at the Norman residence.

The lamp in the yard cast a dim light on the fragrant garden and onto a gentle breeze of the early fall.

Under the dense canopy of leaves was a white steel table. On it was a white porcelain pot with a small mouth that emitted a wisp of vapor.

Next to the pot was a basket with an assortment of delicate desserts.

Jack stared vacantly at his beautiful and elegant wife, who was sitting in a rattan chair and sipping a cup of tea.

The entire space belonged to the couple.

As he stared at her, time seemed to have frozen, and they were back in their younger days.

Jack was in a calm mood. He was not bothered by the political squabbles at work or any other earthly worries. All he wanted to do was sit there and enjoy the tranquility with his wife.

He admitted that he had failed her. Because of him, their birth daughter had gone missing for more than twenty years, and they had adopted Leia from an orphanage. His wife had doted upon the young girl, but Leia turned out to be an ingrate.

He could not predict how Queenie would react if he told her about what Leia did.

She had not walked out of her depressive episode, and Jack dared not take the risk.

However, he could not bear to see his wife being deceived by that unfilial daughter.

Queenie saw that her husband was about to say something. "Is there anything, Jack? You've been sighing. You're usually not like this."

Jack placed his teacup on the table and ventured, "What do you think of our two daughters, Queenie?"

Queenie smiled gently. "They're good girls. Bianca is sensible and outstanding. She has inherited our genes, and I'm proud of what she has done. She is like a diamond that sparkles brilliantly even under pressure.

"As for Leia, she might not be biologically related to us, but we've been raising her for so many years, and I know her character quite well. She's not as outstanding as Bianca, but she's also sensible and considerate. She might have made some mistakes, but it's good that she learns from them. It's just that... I feel sorry for her for not protecting her, and she has experienced things that someone of her age shouldn't experience..."

Tears welled up in Queenie's eyes when she thought of the time when Leia was violated. She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said guiltily, "I didn't expect the Blatt family's third son would perform such inhuman deeds on our Leia. She's in the prime of her life, and she still has a long way to go. What if that incident causes her lasting trauma? What should we do?"

The breeze was cool, bringing with it the gentle fragrance of flowers. 1

Only Queenie's stifled sobs could be heard in the tranquil night. 1

Under the mottled shadows of the tree, Jack could see the sorrow and pity in Queenie as though she were translucent.

Jack sighed helplessly, hugged his wife, and gently patted her back. "You can't just see how things are at the surface, Queenie. There are a lot of things that we don't know... for example, our younger

daughter. Are you sure that you understand her character? Have you ever considered that her docile and obedient character might only be a ruse?"

Queenie abruptly lifted her head and looked at her husband. "What are you trying to say, Jack? I know that Leia made a big mistake, but she's learned her lesson, and she's also very nice to Bianca. You've also witnessed her change. Don't... don't you trust our daughter?"

Jack's hands rested on Queenie's cheeks and held her face in front of his." If she's as considerate as you think, she wouldn't have tried to destroy Luke and Bea's relationship. If she's as docile as you think, she wouldn't have threatened Dr. Hoover to falsify Julie Anderson's DNA test report. If she's as obedient as you think, she wouldn't have involved herself with drugs and been taken away to a rehab center. Do you see what our younger daughter has done, Queenie? Or could you not accept that the girl that we've brought up has such a heinous character?" "I... I..."

Queenie stubbornly turned her head away, averting her husband's stern gaze. "That's all in the past. We all make mistakes, don't we? Leia did so many stupid things because she's insecure. You should also know that kids who grow up in an orphanage can be more sensitive than others.

"Bianca's return might have made her more insecure than ever, and that's why she... You can’t be asking her to pay for her mistakes forever, can you? That's not fair for her!

"We're a happy family now. Bianca and Luke are a loving couple, and they've given us three cute grandchildren. Leia has decided to quit the entertainment industry and learn business management from me, and she would also paint and practice yoga with me too. I think our life is perfect now!"

Seeing that his wife remained stubborn, Jack swallowed the next words that were at the tip of his tongue.

His wife had been irredeemably deceived by Leia's charms. She would not believe it even if he showed her the evidence of their daughter's deeds.

Never mind. Looks like I'll have to keep it a secret from Queenie.

'I won't forgive anyone who dares to harm my birth daughter!'

When Leia received an emergency call from her father, she was sitting on the toilet in the bathroom of Old Mr. Norman's house, staring incredulously at the double red lines on the pregnancy test kit!

She was pregnant!

How was that possible?

After Wayne had violated her that time, she had taken the morning-after pill. It was impossible that she got pregnant.

Her periods had always come on time, perhaps because she had always received adequate nutrition. She did not even have menstrual cramps, and she had always been healthy.

This time, her period was two weeks late...

The extra red line on the pregnancy test kit was a stark reminder that she was really pregnant...

What should she do?

Leia's hand that was holding the pregnancy test kit was shaking. She was bearing the child of a criminal!

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 858- Who Is the Child In Her Womb?

Leia could not accept that horrible fact. She instantly went to the best hospital to confirm if she was really pregnant.

'What if the pregnancy test kit is faulty?' She remained hopeful.

'What if I'm not really pregnant?* 1

She rushed into the VIP wing of the hospital wearing a mask and an oversized pair of sunglasses. The nurse took a urine and blood sample for the hCG test. 1

Half an hour later, the head of the obstetrics department read Leia's test report carefully.

"You are pregnant, Ms. Norman. The baby is thirty-six days old," she announced formally.

"That's... that’s impossible! I can't be pregnant!" Leia shrieked and covered her mouth. She felt her blood turning cold.

"Your urine and blood tests both show that you are pregnant, Ms. Norman. It is almost impossible that both tests are wrong. Do you want to carry the child to term?" The doctor did not know how else she should explain it to Leia.

Leia was already an adult. If she did not want a child, she could have taken preventive measures and not panic like what she was doing now.

Leia instantly shook her head and looked at the doctor with pleading eyes." No, I'm not going to carry this child for another day. I want to abort it right now! Can you arrange an operation for me now? I want to get rid of it now!"

The department head had been a doctor for many years and had performed many abortion procedures on women. It was her first time seeing a woman so anxious about aborting the child.

She knew that Leia had an elevated social status, so she asked carefully," Is this your first pregnancy, Ms. Norman? If you would like to abort the child, what procedure would you like? Do you want to abort it by surgery or by medication?"

Leia hesitated. Her hands that were holding the handbag were shaking." What’s the difference between the two?"

The doctor explained both procedures to Leia. "Medical abortion is suitable for pregnancies less than seven weeks. By taking medication, it will cause the female uterus to contract and expel the fetus. It is less damaging to the body, but the drawback is that the abortion might not be thorough. On the other hand, surgical abortion is performed by a machine. You'll be sedated, the procedure will only last for a few minutes, and you'll barely feel any discomfort. The chance of success is 100%, but you'll risk damaging your uterus. If you would like to perform a surgical abortion, you'll have to wait for a few more days for the fetus to grow a little bigger." "What are the chances that a medical abortion will be successful?" "You are healthy, Ms. Norman, and this is your first pregnancy. The chance of success is more than eighty percent."

Leia considered her options and bit her lip. "I'll go for medical abortion!" She said ruthlessly.

She could not wait to remove that b*stard child from her womb.

Every extra minute having Wayne’s spawn in her body made her want to die.

The doctor performed another full examination of Leia's body and made sure that her body was suitable for medical abortion. Then, she prescribed her mifepristone and misoprostol tablets.

After receiving a few more pointers from the doctor, Leia left the hospital.

Leia left the doctor's office in a daze. She had to accept the fact that she was pregnant.

She did not expect that the fetus was so tenacious. She had already taken emergency contraceptive pills, but she was pregnant anyway.

Her expressions shifted from shock to confusion, to regret, and finally numbness. She could only curse her luck.

Her eyes fell on the word "Pregnant'' on the test report in her hands. She wanted to tear it into pieces.

How would her parents react if they found out that she was pregnant with Wayne's child? Would they disown her?

She was not going to be driven away just like that. She still wanted to live a comfortable life.

Leia put on her sunglasses and quickly stepped away.

She bumped into someone as she walked past the long corridor.

"Excuse me..."

The young woman instantly apologized to Leia.

"Hey, are you blind? Can't you see where you're going?" Leia's bad mood was exacerbated by the bump. She instantly started yelling at the young woman.

The young woman looked quite beautiful. She had a slightly bulging stomach.

She instantly felt aggrieved. She had already apologized to that woman, but that woman remained so arrogant. She fell into the arms of the man behind her and complained to him. "What's wrong with that woman, Xavier? I've already apologized to her, but why is she acting like a shrew?" "Who are you calling a shrew, you b*tch?" Leia could not control her temper.

She instinctively raised his hand and wanted to slap that woman, but when she saw that man's handsome face, she slowly put her hand down.

'Xavier Tanner!

Why is he here?"

Xavier could not recognize Leia behind her disguise.

"What do you want?" His voice was as cold and harsh as ice.

Leia instantly felt uneasy. She was afraid that Xavier might recognize her.

She grunted unhappily and said sarcastically to the woman, "Grow some eyes. Don't bump into someone you can't afford to offend!"

After that, she quickly walked away in her high heels.

Xavier did not stop her. He narrowed his gaze as he watched her walk away.

The young woman pouted and stomped her feet unhappily when she saw that Xavier was ignoring her. When she lowered her head, she noticed that the woman earlier had dropped her test report.

She picked it up curiously and noticed the name "Leia Norman" on it. Her eyes widened in shock and disbelief when she saw the report indicating that Leia was pregnant.

She handed the report to Xavier and asked him, "Look at this, Xavier. This test report belongs to the woman earlier... Leia Norman? Is she the actress?

Xavier turned to look at Leia disappearing into the corridor. His dangerous gaze became curious.

He was sure that the woman was Leia, but he was surprised that she was pregnant!

Who was the father of the child in her womb though?

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 859-Chapter 859 Have You Never Treated Me As Your Daughter?

Leia stepped out of the hospital entrance and hurried over to the parking lot. She did not want to be late.

After all, her father had summoned her back home, and she dared not disobey him.

She had just fastened her seatbelt when she realized that the pregnancy test report was missing.

She must have accidentally dropped it when she bumped into that young woman earlier!

Leia's head spun. She wanted to go back up to collect it, but there were so many people in the hospital, and someone might have already taken it. Moreover, if Xavier had picked it up, he must have already seen it.

There were so many people with the same name in the world. Even if Xavier had seen it, he might not guess that it was her.

Even if Xavier guessed that it was indeed her, all she had to do was not admit it.

Leia breathed a sigh of relief after thinking of that. She started the car and left the hospital.

She tuned in to a radio station, hoping to lighten the mood by listening to some music.

There was a news flash after a song. "Good afternoon, fellow listeners. We have just received news that the Wayne family is currently undergoing investigations. Victor Blatt, the eldest son of the Blatts, has been taken into custody for allegedly being involved in several corrupt dealings that involved family members. At the same time, Blatt Corporation is also suspected to have ties with the criminal underworld. Vincent Blatt, the second son of the Blatts and the CEO of Blatt Corporation, has been suspended from his position and is being investigated. Wayne Blatt, the third son, is currently wanted

for heinous crimes, and his current whereabouts are currently unknown. The police have promised a hefty reward for anyone who can provide information that leads to Wayne Blatt's arrest."

Leia was shocked. She did not expect that the influential family would be hit by multiple scandals at once.

'Looks like they're about to fall from grace. They're not that powerful after all!' She thought contemptuously.

At the same time, she wondered who might have the power to bring down the three Blatt brothers.

Could it be Luke Crawford?

If it were really him, then the man was more ruthless and powerful than she expected. He was quite thorough in dealing with the entire family if he wanted to get back at Wayne for attempting to kill him.

Leia thought of the time when she wanted to kill Bianca with poisonous snakes. Luke had abducted her and had given her a taste of her own medicine. He had placed dozens of poisonous snakes on her body and tortured her for the entire night. She almost lost her mind from that ordeal.

The man might look gentlemanly and noble, but Leia knew better than anyone else that he was not a gentleman at all. His gentle looks were nothing more than a disguise!

She shuddered uncontrollably when she thought of what Luke could do, and she broke out in a cold sweat despite the cooling air-conditioning.

She had a hand on the steering wheel, while the other was on her lower abdomen.

Whatever happened to the Blatts was none of her business. She never liked them anyway.

However, she was carrying the scion of the Blatts in her womb. She could not wait for it to be gone!

Leia gave a call to her mother right before she arrived home.

"Are you at home now, Mom? You're not? Can you come home soon?

Grandpa and Grandma gave me a lot of local produce, including the morel mushrooms that you've been craving for a long time. I'll make mushroom soup when I get home. Please come back soon..."

After she ended the call, Leia's expression abruptly changed, as though the young woman who had spoken coyly through the phone was a totally different person.

She knew that she could not face her father alone. He was too authoritative and discerning.

She believed that her mother would be able to save her.

Back at the Norman residence, Leia braced herself before opening the door to her father's study.

"Dad," She greeted her father.

Before she could ask what was going on, her face was battered by a thick stack of documents!

"What's going on, Dad? Why are you so angry? Did I do something wrong?" Leia took a panicked step backward and discreetly pinched her arm hard so that tears started to fall. She looked at her father with innocent eyes.

Jack glared at his adoptive daughter coldly, not influenced by her tears." Look at what you have done, you wretched girl! I thought that you were kind -hearted despite being capricious, but I didn't expect that you'd be hiding this ugly side of yours from us!"

His entire body was shaking from anger. He would have kicked her if not that she was a girl!

Leia clenched her fists tightly. She was breaking out in cold sweat, but she tried to remain calm. "What are you saying, Dad? I don't understand."

Jack slammed his fist on the table and nearly broke it. "Are you still trying to deny all the things that you've done? I might be able to forgive you for your poor character, but you even tried to harm your elder sister! Why did we raise an immoral ingrate like you?"

Leia's lips were pale as she tried to deny what she had done. "No, I haven't harmed Bianca. I can swear to God, Dad. I..." "Take a look at the evidence at your feet before saying another word!

Hmph!"

Leia frantically picked up the documents that were thrown at her earlier.

She nearly fainted when she saw the evidence of all the things she did to harm Bianca!

It started with her hiring of a private detective to investigate Bianca's past. After that, she injected the drug into the Persian cat at Blue Honors to injure Bianca. Then, she threatened Dr. Hoover to falsify the DNA test report which resulted in Julie Anderson being brought back to the Norman household. Also, she had conspired with criminals in an attempt to kill Bianca with venomous snakes...

Tm finished.

Tm finished!'

Leia's entire body was stiff. The evidence that was presented to her threatened to swallow her whole.

She knew that she could not lose her cool. If she did, then there would be no chance to redeem herself.

Instantly, tears fell from Leia's face like rain. "Where did you get all this, Dad? Would you rather believe these baseless accusations than believe your daughter? Do I not deserve your trust? All I want to ask

is... who am I to you? Have you never treated me as your daughter?"

Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 860- I Won't Keep A Ticking Time Bomb In the Household

Jack paused for a moment as he looked at Leia's pathetic demeanor. "Are you still trying to deny what you've done, despite all the evidence that's been laid bare in front of you? If you've been honest with me right from the start, I wouldn't have been so angry. Do you think that I'm an idiot?"

Jack had to admit that the mountain of evidence presented to him was true.

He was stunned when he first saw the evidence. He could not believe that his "considerate" daughter could be so ruthless in private. It took him a long time to accept it.

Tears swished in Leia's eyes.

Her back was straight, but her chest was heaving. "I only have one question for you, Dad. In all my years in the Norman household, have you ever treated me as your daughter? You've always been cold to me, and I can never figure out what you're thinking. You don't seem to like me no matter what I do to gain your favor. I thought that it's just how your personality is, but the truth is cruel to me... novelbin

"Ever since Bianca returned to the household, you've been so nice to her because she's your birth daughter. You fulfill her every wish, and you've even helped her with her business. Not only her, but you've also pampered her children.

"How have you treated me? I've been an actress for so many years, and Mom is the one who always helps me with all my problems. The only thing you've ever told me is that girls should keep away from the chaotic environment and settle down with a stable job. Don't you know how sad I am when I see you treat Bianca so differently? Now, you shower me with all these baseless accusations without even asking me. How unfair is that?"

Leia's face was stained with tears. Every word was an accusation of how Jack had unfairly treated her. Jack, despite being a seasoned politician, started to frown.

However, he was not going to be swayed so easily.

"Hmph," he grunted.

He furrowed his brows as he thought of how he had treated Leia. "I admit that I haven't been fair to you, but is that what you think of me? Without my permission, do you think your mother would have brought you back here so that you can live a comfortable life?

"You have been known for your purity in the entertainment industry, and no director, producer, or funder would force you to shoot a kissing scene or join any of those business dinners. Do you think you alone could command their respect? If I haven't warned them to stay away from you, do you think that you can maintain your pure reputation or win so many awards? Do you think that you can keep a clean record if I hadn't interfered?

"You were raised in an orphanage, Leia, and you might think that you deserve pity, but that doesn't mean that the world should revolve around you. You always play the victim, even though none of us owe you anything. My wife and I have done our best to raise you as our daughter, but I didn't expect that you're an ingrate! Queenie might be soft-hearted, but it doesn't mean that you can fool the rest of us. It looks like we shouldn't keep you in the household."

Jack's words made Leia's face even paler.

"I'm sorry, Dad, I... I..." She mumbled, unable to finish a sentence.

Jack glared at her and ordered her sternly, "Pick up all the documents on the floor!"

Leia dared not go against his wishes. She picked up the pieces of paper one by one.

She would have ripped apart the documents in her hands if not that she was intimidated by Jack's authoritative demeanor.

Holding the thick stack of documents in her hands, she knew that there was no use denying it any longer.

Her father was not going to be as easily deceived as her mother.

All she could do was fall on her knees and beg. "I know that I'm wrong, Dad. I shouldn't have tried to harm Bianca... I was only jealous that Bianca had replaced my position in the family, and I was even more afraid that you might disown me, and that's why I've done so many silly things. Please don't disown me... I swear that I'll treat Bianca nicely. If I ever go against my word, may I get hit by a truck!"

Leia thought that her father would forgive her after making that promise.

Jack's expression did not soften at all. He took out a stamp pad from a drawer.

He indicated to Leia to put the documents on the table. Leia could only comply despite feeling uneasy.

Jack tossed the stamp pad on the table. "I can allow you to remain in the household, but I have to be prepared for any eventuality. I want black-and- white evidence and not verbal promises! Sign on the documents and affix your thumbprint."

Leia bit hard on her lower lip. "Dad, you can’t... you can't treat me like this..."

Jack remained unconvinced. "Then you can’t stay here. I can't allow a ticking time bomb to live in the household and harm my family. Also, I'll hand in all the evidence to the police station."

Leia shuddered and fell on the floor. "Don't, Dad... I... I'll sign it. Please forgive me. I won't do it again. If you hand in the evidence to the police station, I'll be finished. Please forgive me for this once..."

Jack did not say a word. If she was not going to sign the documents, he was quite determined to finish her off once and for all.

Seeing that her father was not going to yield, Leia could only sign on each of the documents while feeling greatly humiliated.

After affixing her thumbprint, she teetered as though she was going to faint at anytime.

Just when she had finished all that, Queenie's gentle voice could be heard from outside the study...
