Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 891- I Can’t Accept That Debauched Woman!
Leia stood awkwardly on the spot. The flattering words that she had prepared to say to Brody's grandmother were stuck in her throat.
Brody tried to defuse the tense situation.
He quickly went up to support his grandmother and coaxed her, "Grandma, Leia is a beautiful and sensible girl. You don't know how happy I am when I’m with her. You'll know that she's a good girl after spending some more time with her. Can you be a little more friendly toward her? After all, she's your future granddaughter-in-law..." "Hmph! Our household has no need for a girl like her!"
The old woman coldly interjected and continued to dress down her grandson, "I say, Brody, you've always been a smart boy, so why would you find a debauched woman like her as your girlfriend? She's been in the entertainment industry since she was young. You should know that there aren’t any virgins there. Moreover, she's plagued with scandals. She threatened the doctor to falsify the DNA test report, and she's been caught sleeping around with other men more than once. Do you want to bring her into the household? Not unless I'm dead!" "It's not like that, Grandma. Maybe Leia has her reasons..." "Shut up!" The old woman glared at her grandson and spoke forcefully, "Do you want to ruin our family reputation and make us the subject of public ridicule? Let me tell you. You can marry any other woman except for this one!" "Listen to me, Grandma..."
Brody wanted to explain to his grandmother, but his grandmother wagged her hand and went upstairs with the help of her walking stick.
He could only follow her upstairs.
Before she disappeared, the old woman shot a cold glance at Leia's face and muttered something.
"Ms. Norman? No, she's an abandoned girl from an orphanage. You can see from her face that her mind isn't in the right place. My dear Brody, she'll bring disaster to the family if you marry her. In the worst case, our family will be ruined. Why do you insist on marrying her?"
Leia stood at the bottom of the staircase and watched the old woman go upstairs.
She could feel chills course down her spine as she listened to those words. How she wished that she could push the old woman down the stairs so that she would fall and die!
"That d*mned old lady is already one foot in the grave. Why would she care?'
The caretaker saw Leia standing there in a daze. Thinking that she was overcome by sorrow, the caretaker felt some sympathy for her.
She handed a pair of slippers to Leia. "Madam can be irritable at times.
Please wear these slippers."
Leia forced a smile at the caretaker and thanked her.
She did not put on the slippers. Instead, her expression became colder and colder.
That old woman had insulted her, but Brody did not stay by her side. Instead, he helped her walk up the stairs. Those promises that he had made were all but hot air!
From what she saw today, she could tell that Brody was still a mama's boy!
The caretaker noticed that Leia was looking at the stairs. She explained," Madam has raised Master Brody since he was a child, and they are very close to each other. Naturally, Master Brody respects his grandmother a lot "Mm," Leia replied impassively and sat on the couch as though she were in her house.
"Where are Brody’s parents? Why did his grandmother raise him?" She pretended to be casual as she tried to find out more information.
"Brody's parents are usually very busy, and they're always on overseas business trips. Sometimes, they would only return once every few months.
To be honest, Master Brody isn't very close to his parents, while Madam pampers him and would stand up for him." "Oh..."
Some time later, Brody came down from the second floor.
Leia bit her lip heavily to force her tears to flow. She gazed at Brody with a pitiful face, as though the old woman had thoroughly bullied her.
As expected, Brody's heart wrenched when he saw Leia's face. He hugged her tightly in her arms. "Sorry about earlier, Leia. My grandma might sound mean, but she has a kind heart."
Leia rubbed her bloodshot eyes, and tears sparkled in her eyes. "I don't think that we should be together, Brody. Your grandma doesn't like me at all, and she won't accept me. She might even hate you if we insist on being together. I don't think we're a good match." "What do you mean? You are already carrying my child. I'll have to bear responsibility for you and the baby."
It was rare that Brody took responsibility for his actions.
However, he seemed to be caught in a dilemma when he remembered how his grandmother had rejected Leia. "How about we wait until my grandma is calmer before I bring you to meet her again? She's angry now, and she won't listen to whatever I say." 'You coward!' Leia thought, though she put on an understanding look on her face. "Who knows how long that'll take? It's already been a while, and the bulge in my womb will only become bigger. It'll be hard for me to hide it by then. I don't want our baby
to be without a father, Brody. You'll have to convince your grandmother as soon as you can. Otherwise, I don't know what else I should do." "Don't worry," Brody coaxed her patiently, "I'll settle this as soon as I can and bring you into the household."
Leia saw that he did not really mean it. She sobbed harder and repeated her words, "You'll have to marry me and bear responsibility, Brody.
Otherwise, my parents won't be happy, and that might affect your family's reputation."
Brody stared at Leia and felt impetuous anger rise in his heart. "Are you threatening me with the child?"
He was quite popular among women. Usually, women flattered and pampered her. Now that he had tried to gain a woman's favor, the woman had threatened her instead. That made Brody quite angry.
Leia was startled. She thought that the man was being unreasonable and wanted to dump him, but she dared not to.
She could only humble herself and deliberately rubbed her flat stomach." I'm only worried about our child. Sorry, I was rash. I won't be like this again, " she said.
Brody felt better after seeing Leia apologize "humbly." "Don't worry. I love children too, and I've always wanted a baby of my own. I'll be responsible toward you and the baby, but I'll have to take it step by step." "Mm,” Leia replied coyly, but she had already begun to scheme.
She could only bear it for now. Once she was married to Brody, it was time for that man and his grandmother to suffer!
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 892-Don't You Feel Sorry for Her?
At night, Bianca and Luke took the elevator to the VIP cabins on the top floor of the cruise ship.
Bianca was shocked by the display of opulence.
That was not a cabin. It was more like a palace!
Inside the spacious hall were a minibar, a buffet line, and an entertainment center. The dim light shrouded the area in an aura of mystery.
However, only Percy and Nina were in that vast space.
Nina was holding a microphone and singing a song on the karaoke system.
Next to her were several empty beer bottles.
Percy reclined on the couch lazily while smoking a cigarette. His overly beautiful face seemed sinister under the dim light.
Bianca was surprised. She felt that the atmosphere between the two people was quite peculiar.
Nina was singing "My Heart Will Go On," the theme song of the movie " Titanic."
Her graceful and resonant voice sounded like the original singer. If Bianca had not seen Nina singing, she would have thought that Celine Dion was in the cabin.
Nina performed the melodic yet sorrowful tune well.
Bianca was a sensitive person. She felt a twinge in her nose. Perhaps she was thinking of the heartbreaking story between Jack and Rose, or perhaps she was influenced by Nina's sorrowful mood.
Bianca had always felt guilty about what happened to Nina, and the guilt clung to her like a shadow.
She shook her head and went into the cabin with Luke.
Her full attention was on Nina's singing, so she did not look at her feet while she was walking. She stumbled and nearly fell to the floor.
Luke managed to grab her slender waist in time. "Are you okay?"
Bianca shook her head. "I'm fine. Nina's voice is too moving, and I was caught in the mood. Look, Mr. Mallory seems to be enjoying Nina's performance too."
After making sure that Bianca was indeed fine, he turned his head to look at Percy.
When Percy noticed Luke's presence, he blew a smoke ring and tossed a cigarette at Luke. "You're late."
Luke took the cigarette and answered, "My wife was a little tired earlier, so she took a nap. I had to wait for her to wake up."
Percy did not know what he should do to his friend who doted upon his wife.
He knew that Luke was a merciless businessman, but he did not understand why Luke would bow to his wife's whims.
Bianca watched the karaoke music video on the screen.
In the movie, the male lead gave the female lead one last kiss before falling into the sea, so that the female lead would survive.
She had watched that scene countless times, but she never failed to feel sad.
The two lovers were separated by life and death. They would never meet each other again, and she could only keep him in her memories.
She remembered how she had to live in agony in the years she was separated from Luke.
Nina also almost could not control her emotions. Toward the end of the song, her voice started shaking.
She put the microphone down, and the music stopped playing. The room fell into silence.
Clap clap clap...
Bianca was the first to applaud Nina. She also patted Nina's shoulder approvingly. "Not bad, Nina. Your singing is getting better and better. You
ought to sign up for The Voice!"
Nina covered her face shyly. "Thanks. I don't sing as well as you. I remember that you got the first prize in the high school singing competition." "Eh, that's already so long ago. I honestly think that you sing better than me, " Bianca praised genuinely.
Percy, who was usually a man of few words, suddenly spoke up. "You don't have to flatter her. Her voice is only mediocre."
The comment struck Nina speechless.
Bianca coughed and laughed. "If you don't have anything nice to say, you can keep it to yourself, Percy. I've been wondering why you don't have a significant other, so it turns out that you're so chauvinist! Nina is like a pearl, and she's being cast before a... you know...”
Percy's expression sank instantly. No woman had ever talked to him like that before. Seeing that she was Luke's wife, he was not going to squabble with her.
Nina did not mind the comment, though she felt incredibly frustrated.
She grabbed a glass of beer from the table and downed its contents.
Bianca quickly grabbed the glass from Nina's hands. "You've already drunk a lot of champagne earlier, Nina, so you shouldn't be drinking beer. It's not good for your health. Is there milk or some other hot drink here? I'll bring you some."
Nina smiled at Bianca. 'It's fine. You know that my capacity for alcohol is bigger than yours. I want to drink today, Bea. Here, a toast to you." "No! Your health is poor, yet you still want to drink? Don't you care for yourself?" Bianca said assertively.
She remembered that Nina had almost lost her life when she aborted her baby, and her constitution had been weak since then. The doctor had advised against eating cold food or drinking alcohol.
Nina could only comply when she saw Bianca's determined look. "Alright, I'll stop drinking today. Honestly, Bea, you're so nice to me."
Nina had always been grateful for Bianca's care toward her. Her parents had always favored her brother, and she did not have anyone to care for her at home. Even though Nina's brother had done despicable things to Bianca, Bianca did not resent Nina. Instead, Bianca had cared for her at work and in her personal life.
Bianca had shown Nina more care than her family ever would.
Of course, Nina knew that she could only ultimately rely on herself, even though she wanted love from her parents or her significant other. However, that was too difficult for her.
Someone had spread the rumor that she had aborted her baby. Everyone in her town knew that she was used goods.
They spoke about her in disgust. There could be no bliss in her future.
Sometimes, Nina would dream that she was a child once again, and she would be back to her carefree life in her hometown. She remembered that a rather handsome boy dressed in white stood under a tree and smiled at her.
Of course, that was a memory that she could not return to.
Bianca noticed the empty beer bottles next to Nina. She knew that they must have drunk a lot before she and Luke arrived.
She could not help but glare at Percy. "Percy, you've been dating Nina for quite some time. Don't you know that she can't drink too much alcohol? See, her face is already pale. Don't you feel sorry for her?"
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 893-Madam, Are You Pregnant Again?
Percy did not know why Bianca suddenly became angry.
Looking at Nina's pale face, he complied with Bianca's wishes and asked for a hot drink.
Soon, a servant came into the cabin with a hot drink.
Percy pointed in Nina's direction with his chin and said to the servant," Give her the drink."
Bianca glanced at Nina and could not help but be worried.
Percy was a domineering and merciless man. He was not kind at all. Bianca wondered if being by Percy's side gave Nina any pressure.
It was almost midnight when Luke and Bianca got out of Percy's cabin and returned to theirs.
They went to the bathroom to take another bath.
While Luke washed Bianca's hair and sniffed the refreshing smell on her body, he could not help but smile. "Are you worn out? I'll go easy on you today. We'll return to A City tomorrow."
Bianca gently touched Luke's handsome face as she enjoyed the "VIP- class treatment" from him. "I'm fine. I don't really feel tired whenever I'm with you.
On the other hand, Luke was feeling quite tired. His eyes were slightly bloodshot. "Why were you mostly quiet while in Percy's cabin earlier? I remember that you can sing very well. I noticed that you've been feeling down ever since we left the cabin."
Bianca wiped away the water droplets from her eyes and said rather unhappily,"... It's nothing major, well, it's about Nina. I don't think that Nina is happy being with Percy. She's such a nice girl, but Percy,
on the other hand..."
Luke smiled but did not say anything.
His wife was always worried about other people.
Bianca tugged his sleeve and said unhappily, "I've always thought that Nina's life is ruined because of me. If not for me, she would still be the carefree girl she used to be. Now, she's living under someone else's control. I feel so guilty."
Luke's hand that was operating the hairdryer paused for a moment before he said, "That incident isn't related to you, but you always blame yourself for it. You're suffering for nothing, Bea. Nina's personality is the one that's causing her difficulties in her personal life. She'll suffer the same fate with or without your interference."
Bianca shot a glance at him and pouted. "Without that horrific experience, she wouldn't have been so reckless. She had just escaped from that b* stard Pierre's clutches, but she fell into Percy's hands instead. Can't the brothers leave Nina alone? Do you have any way to save Nina from Percy?"
She looked at Luke pleadingly.
Luke raised his eyebrows. "I have been friends with Percy for many years, and I know him as well as I know myself. Percy might seem uncaring, but he's very possessive of the things that he wants. If he cannot obtain something that he wants, he would rather destroy it or die together with it."
Bianca was shocked. She prodded his chest. "So... isn't there any other way?"
Luke did not reply to her question. He looked into her eyes with a profound gaze.
Bianca felt a little flustered and could not help but twirl her hair. "I don't mean anything else. All I want is for Nina to leave Percy safely. She's still so young, and I wouldn't want her to waste her youth on a
man who doesn't seem to care about her. She won't be young for very long either. If Percy doesn't let her go soon, how would she be able to find a significant other when it's too late? Please help Nina, Luke. I'm begging you."
She said the things that she had wanted to tell Luke for a long time.
Bianca knew that Luke and Percy were good friends. She might be giving Luke trouble by making that request, but she could not bear to watch Nina suffer under Percy.
She lifted her head and looked pleadingly at Luke.
Luke felt his heart thump harder. He could not help but tousle her hair." This matter is between Percy and Nina, and we should not interfere. If it were you instead, I'd do whatever it takes to save you. Nina might be a good friend of yours, but she's only an employee to me.
"Of course, I won't refuse if you insist on me interfering in their personal matters, but it'll be quite troublesome, and I'll have to sever all ties with Percy. It's fine though. I'll do anything that you want me to, and I don't want to see you unhappy.'
He smiled indulgently, and his eyes never looked away from hers.
That made Bianca feel quite uneasy.
She tiptoed, lifted her hand, covered Luke's eyes, and mumbled, "I'm sorry, Luke, for troubling you..."
Luke smiled gently.
He put her hand down and gazed at her gently. "You don't have to apologize to me, silly girl. Remember that I'm your husband, and I'll always be by your side."
Bianca and Luke returned to A City by ait the next day. After they arrived at their mansion, Luke reminded Bianca that she should rest while he immediately went back to T Corporation. There were many things that needed his attention during his absence.
Suddenly, Bianca's abdomen began to hurt intensely.
It was her period.
Bianca suffered from low blood sugar. When her period came, her stomach would hurt, and her head would be intensely dizzy.
'Why didn't my period come when I'm on my honeymoon?' She could not help but grumble.
'If that were the case, Luke wouldn't have to torture me...'
The caretaker knew that Bianca was not feeling well and handed her a glass of hot milk.
Bianca had no appetite because she was tired from traveling.
When she smelled the milk, she could not help but retch...
I'm not in the mood for milk or anything else now. Please take it away!"
Bianca waved at the caretaker so that she would take the milk away.
The caretaker noticed Bianca's exaggerated reaction and suddenly thought of something. "Madam, don't tell me... you're pregnant again?"
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 894- An Incident at Her Company
Bianca was startled by the caretaker's comment. After that, she found it funny.
She pointed at the glass of milk and reminded the caretaker, "I'm having my period now. How can I be pregnant?"
Her stomach would hurt immensely during her period.
Moreover, she and Luke had always been careful. The chances of her becoming pregnant were negligible.
The caretaker was not too sure and continued guessing, "Madam, what if it’s not your period but an early sign of a miscarriage? You ought to take care of your health. This is no small matter. I've seen it happen to my daughter-in-law."
Her daughter-in-law had suffered the same symptoms before.
After an intense bout of stomach pain, the caretaker's daughter-in-law began to bleed. She treated it as though she was having a period until the blood did not stop flowing. When she went to the hospital for an examination, she realized that she had miscarried.
That was how the caretaker lost her first grandchild, and she was afraid that Bianca was going through the same thing.
Bianca could see that the caretaker was genuinely worried for her. She could only explain to her, "It's not like what you think. I'm not pregnant. My period usually comes on time."
The caretaker felt relieved when she heard Bianca say that, though she continued to advise Bianca as she handed her the glass of milk. "You'll still have to drink the milk. I've warmed it earlier, so the
temperature should be just nice. Sir told me to make sure that you drink a glass of milk every day. You're so thin, and you need more nutrition."
Jason had selected the caretaker personally to take care of Bianca and the children. She was one of the few caretakers that had passed through many rounds of strict selection. She was kind and considerate, did not gossip, and was friendly toward Bianca and her family.
Bianca could not argue with that, and so she took the glass of milk and gulped it down.
The caretaker continued speaking, "You're so lucky to have Mr. Crawford as your husband, Madam. I've been a caretaker in many wealthy families before. The couple would look loving on the surface, but they secretly despise each other. You and Mr. Crawford are different; your mutual love is enviable. Oh, Madam, you are so beautiful and Mr. Crawford is so handsome, you ought to have a few more children." 1
Bianca thought of her three children.
It was a blissful sensation to bear a child for the man she loved.
However, three children were already enough.
She wanted to focus on her career, and she had never considered bearing another child.
At that moment, the doorbell rang, and the bodyguard's voice could be heard clearly. "Madam, your children are here from Crawford Manow."
As soon as he finished speaking, three cute children dashed into the living room.
Tommy ran the fastest, even though he had the shortest legs.
He ran over and hugged Bianca's leg.
He pouted and grumbled in his adorable voice, "Why did you come back so late, Mommy? Why did you send me home first? I miss you so much that I think I'm going mad."
Tears rolled in his big eyes and threatened to slide down his face. He looked very cute that way, and Bianca could not help but to pinch his tender cheeks.
"Daddy and I had some business to attend to, and that's why we got back here late. I hope that you can understand that, right? Didn't we see each other through video calls every day? You need to learn how to be less clingy." "No, no, I still want to cling to you, Mommy. I want to cling to you forever..." "You won't say that when you're older, naughty boy..."
The twins were jealous when they saw the interaction between Bianca and their younger brother.
Lanie was not that bothered. He was an independent boy after all.
Rainie, as the only girl in the family, reacted differently.
She had been pampered since she was a baby, and Bianca had loved her the most. Ever since Tommy was born, Bianca had shown less care toward her, and she did not like that.
The little girl stood there, silent but full of grievances. Her eyes were filled with tears.
After Bianca entertained Tommy enough, she noticed the twins.
When she noticed Rainie’s expression, she realized that she had pampered Tommy and neglected the twins.
She beckoned at them. When they came near her, she gently kissed them on their cheeks.
Bianca asked Lanie to sit on the couch while she hugged Rainie in her arms. "I didn't expect that you're growing so fast. You were only as tall as my waist a few years ago. In a few more years, I won't be able
to carry you anymore!"
Rainie sniffed her mother’s unique fragrance and smiled. "You'll still be my favorite Mommy, and I'll always be your little girl."
Bianca smiled, comforted. "What do you want to eat, Lanie and Rainie? I'll cook for you two." "Yay!" The twins answered in unison.
Bianca was satisfied that the atmosphere had become jovial once more.
Her children were kind, and her husband loved her. That was the life she dreamed of.
The weather the next morning was clear. It signified a day of good weather.
Bianca woke up early in the morning.
She was not dressed in formal office wear but rather a windbreaker and jeans. However, when she arrived at her company, she noticed that the atmosphere was gloomy.
Bianca did not know what was going on, though she saw several computer technicians hard at work.
She frowned. When she saw Sue, she asked her, "What's going on, Sue?"
Sue seemed awkward. "All the computers have been hit by a virus. All our design data is gone..."
Bianca's face turned pale. "When did this happen?" "Last night."
Bianca realized the severity of the issue. She took several deep breaths before asking the other employees sternly, "Who was the last to leave the office last night?"
Everyone kept quiet and remained so for a long time.
Bianca was almost running out of patience when a fair and tender arm slowly raised up. "I... I was..."
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 895-Let Me Take Care of the Children Shireen was the one who raised her hand.
Bianca frowned. Virus infection was no small matter, especially one that made them lose all their design data. They had to redo everything, and someone might have stolen their ideas.
"Was there anything out of the ordinary when you left?" She asked.
Tm not sure," Shireen answered timidly, "I received a file from a client last night. Before I could see it, the building security asked me to leave."
The management was quite strict in enforcing the rules of the building. When Bianca rented the office, it was stated on the contract that no one was allowed to stay in the office past midnight.
She did not think too much of it before signing. After all, it was only a small company.
"Did you shut down your computer before you left?" Bianca asked.
Shireen bit her lip. She realized that she might not have done so.
Her face turned pale, and she shook her head.
"How could you leave without shutting down your computer? Do you know that every computer here has confidential information?" Sue could not help but scold her.
The computers in the office were connected by an intranet. Anyone who knew the password could access all the files on every computer.
Shireen's face turned red. She did not expect that her mistake could have such serious consequences. Tm sorry. I didn't mean to do it. I'm sorry," she bowed and apologized repeatedly.
Bianca rubbed her forehead. It was a major ordeal for her fledgling company to encounter such a situation. She lifted a hand to stop Shireen from apologizing.
If Luke were in her shoes, he would have been able to handle the situation perfectly.
Bianca felt calmer after thinking about that. "It's not the time to point fingers now. Sue, bring all the related paper documents. We'll deal with the projects in the order of decreasing urgency."
Sue nodded and did what she was told.
After gathering all the paper documents, Bianca set out to work. She delegated the tasks from the most urgent projects and reminded her employees that they would have to get them done before the deadline if it meant that they had to work overtime.
The employees went to work.
Bianca returned to her office while Sue followed behind her.
"What do you think of this incident, Sue?" She asked. Someone must have been behind the virus attack, and Sue might have better insights.
Sue thought for a while and voiced her opinion. "I think that Shireen has to go. We don't have direct evidence that she was the one who infected the computers, but she was indeed the last to leave, and the computers were infected the next day." "Who among you was the first to arrive at the office?" Bianca could not think of a reason why Shireen would do that. There might be some other cause.
"I was," Sue replied. She went to work after dropping her daughters off at the babysitter.
"Were the computers turned off when you got here?" Bianca asked.
"They are," Sue replied after thinking for a while. She remembered switching on the computers and realizing that they were infected.
"I think that there's someone else behind the virus attack, Sue. I don't think that the incident is that simple. Of course, if Shireen is the one who did it, I won't forgive her." i Sue looked at Bianca and sighed. "You're too kind, Bianca."
Bianca shook her head. "She reminds me of myself when I first entered T Corporation, and you helped me a lot. I can't deny that Shireen is very capable." "Alright, if that's what your decision is. You should ask Mr. Crawford if you need any help. He should know a way." "Don't worry about it." Bianca believed that she could solve the problem without Luke's help.
Even so, she would have to tell him about the incident anyway. She might not need his help at work, but she would need it at home.
Bianca glanced at the time. It was still early, and Luke should be busy.
She gave a call to Luke around lunchtime.
The call went through. Before she could say anything, she could hear Luke's voice. "Bea."
His resonant voice was filled with love and obsession. Bianca felt her ears tingling as though they had been shocked by electricity.
It took Bianca half a minute to come to her senses. "Can you get off work today a little earlier, Luke?" "That should be no problem. I’m not very busy today," Luke replied.
"That's good to know. Can you pick up Lanie and Rainie on the way back from work? I'm quite busy today, and I don't think that I have the time. Also, I promised that I'd make them pizza. Can you help me with that? The dough is ready in the fridge, and I've prepared the ingredients in separate containers.
You just have to assemble it and stick it into the oven," Bianca told him. It should not be hard to bake a pizza.
Luke agreed. "Are you working on a major project?” Bianca sighed and told Luke about the virus attack.
Luke was silent for a while before saying, "I'll take care of the children. You should focus on your work." "Can you manage it?" Bianca was worried.
"When you weren't around, I was the one who took care of Lanie and Rainie, " Luke reminded her that he had been a single father for several years.
Bianca became at ease after she heard that. Lanie and Rainie turned out fine, and taking care of three children was not too different from taking care of two.
After the call ended, Bianca returned to her work.
Meanwhile, at T Corporation, Luke put his phone aside and dialed Jason's number on the internal line. "Come to my office."
Jason knocked on Luke's door in less than a minute. "Can I help you, Boss?"
Luke had considered that the virus attack was a deliberate job. He told Jason, "My wife's company has just been hit by a virus attack, and I have a hunch that someone is behind it. Go there and find out the details of the situation."
Jason nodded. "I'll get someone to handle it." "You should go yourself." Luke trusted only Jason in handling certain things.
"But I still have… Can I go over an hour later, Boss?"
Luke glanced at him coldly. "Go now." "Yes." Jason had to postpone his work on hand. He thought that his boss cared for Bianca so much.
"Don't look so reluctant when I'm giving you an opportunity to get close to Sue," Luke said coldly. Bianca had mentioned to him what was happening between Sue and Jason.
Jason's face lit up when Sue was mentioned. "Yes, thank you, Boss!"
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 896- Daddy Is a Big Bully
When Bianca saw Jason coming into her office, she realized why Sue was yelling earlier.
Sue hated Jason for how he handled his previous relationship.
"Why are you here, Mr. Doyle?" Bianca was not fond of Jason for the same reason, but she appreciated his work ethic. Moreover, he was Luke's assistant, so she had to be courteous to him.
Jason was quite flustered at the moment after being yelled at. "Mr.
Crawford asked me to help you, Madam." "Do you know how to fix a computer?" Bianca chuckled. She knew that Luke would interfere, but she did not expect that Jason would be the one coming.
"What can that idiot possibly know?" Sue was not done dressing down Jason yet. She saw Jason go into Bianca's office and, under the pretense of delivering a cup of coffee to Bianca, continued to mock him.
Indeed, Jason did not possess much technical knowledge outside of his scope of work. He had told Sue that before.
"Mr. Crawford asked me to investigate the incident," Jason explained.
"What makes you think that you're a detective?" Sue said without looking at him.
Bianca had to stop the argument from continuing and quickly distracted Sue. "This is the task schedule for the next few days, Sue. Can you help me verify it?"
Sue had not been able to keep calm ever since Jason arrived. She realized that she had committed a gaffe after taking Bianca's hint.
As a mother of two girls, she should have remained calm instead of yelling like a shrew in front of Bianca and the other employees.
Sue smiled, tucked some loose strands of hair behind her ear, took the document from Bianca's hands, and left the office.
The office resumed its peace.
Bianca cleared her throat and continued to discuss the main topic. "I've indeed thought of investigating the incident, Mr. Doyle. I'd be extremely grateful if you would help."
Luke's personal assistant must be very capable indeed.
"I'll get to the bottom of it." Jason thought that it would be an easy investigation. The office building was quite old, and the security measures were quite strict. It would not be difficult to trace the culprit as long as they were not remotely hacked.
Bianca smiled and thanked Jason. "Sorry to trouble you, but I hope that you won't disturb Sue while you're investigating." "I..." Jason wanted to explain that he had not done that, but he fell silent before he could complete the sentence.
Sue must not want to see him now. Perhaps his appearance in the office had already disturbed her. He did not expect that she would still be angry even after so long.
Luke's words rang in Jason's ear once more.
"I’ve heard that your ex-wife is still harassing you. Sue doesn't want to meddle in other people's relationships, and she thought that you would've settled it when the two of you got hitched. I hope that you don't disturb Sue and the two girls before you settle your ex-wife once and for all.’
Jason smiled dryly. He understood what Bianca meant. "Yes, Madam. I'll be going to do my work."
Bianca knew that she should not have said that as an outsider, but she could not help to comment on it. If it were before, she would have said a lot more.
After being together with Luke, her management methods became more and more similar to his.
With Jason's help, Bianca was not in a hurry to investigate the virus attack. Instead, she worked on a client's project. It was more difficult now that she had to start a new design from scratch.
Bianca only remembered that Jason was on the case in the evening. She stepped out of her office, intending to ask Jason about the progress of the investigation, but was told that he had left three hours ago.
She did not know if Jason had managed to find any leads.
Bianca did not have time to worry about that. She went back into her office and saw that Luke had sent her a message, telling her that he had picked up the children. After that, she devoted herself back to her task.
She worked on the design until eight o'clock before going home.
She had only stepped through the door and had not put down her briefcase when she felt someone hugging her thigh. She lowered her head and saw that Tommy was looking at her with a face full of grievances.
"Mommy! Daddy is a big bully!" He pouted and began to sob.
Bianca wondered what happened. Seeing that tears were rolling down Tommy's little face, she put her briefcase down and carried the little boy in her arms.
"How is Daddy a bully?"
She had just finished speaking when Luke came out of the kitchen holding Rainie's hand. He smiled when he heard what Tommy said and lowered his head to look at Rainie. "Am I a bully?"
Rainie smiled and explained it to her mother, "Mommy, Daddy forced Tommy to eat the pears that he didn't like. Daddy isn't a bully, Tommy. He cares for your health."
Tommy might be small, but he understood what his elder sister told him. He pouted and fell onto his mother's chest again. "The pizza today tastes horrible, Mommy! It's too salty!" "How can that be?" Bianca's heart wrenched when she saw the tears on Tommy's face. "I thought I prepared all the ingredients correctly."
Luke coughed gently but did not say anything.
"Daddy added more salt to it, Mommy. It's very salty. You can't let Daddy enter the kitchen again. Mm, I want some water," Rainie said.
Children should not eat too much salt. Bianca immediately walked into the kitchen. "I'll get a glass of water for you." "Let me do it." Luke stopped her. "I know that you haven't finished your work."
Bianca wanted to ask about Jason’s progress in the investigation, but she did not want to talk about work in front of the children. They might not understand what was going on, but they could sense her stress, and that would make them worry unnecessarily.
She put Tommy down and patted his head. "I still have some work to do, Tommy. Daddy will take you to your room when it's bedtime." "Daddy doesn't know how to tell stories!" Tommy seemed unhappy.
Bianca glanced at Luke.
The man seemed a little uneasy. When he raised Lanie by himself, Lanie had never been so soft. Perhaps Bianca had spoiled Tommy.
"Let me tell you a story," he said.
"Be a good boy, Tommy," Bianca also tried to coax the little boy.
Tommy reluctantly let go of his mother so that she could do her work.
At ten o'clock, while Bianca was drawing her design on the computer, Luke entered the room with a glass of warm milk. "Are you done?"
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 897- Simple but Full of Love
Bianca massaged her tired eyes. "No. This client is quite picky."
Luke sat down next to her and handed her the glass of milk. "You didn't eat dinner earlier. Have some milk."
Bianca took a sip and reflexively licked the milk stains on her lips. It seemed quite seductive.
Luke could feel his urges rising when he saw that. He bent over and kissed her.
Bianca cried out in surprise and nearly dropped the glass of milk in her hand. Instinctively, she leaned toward the man.
Luke's tongue carefully traced the shape of her lips. They tasted the sweetness of the milk between their mouths, which heightened the sensation of the kiss.
Bianca could not resist Luke's passion. He only let go of her when the air in her lungs was almost depleted.
"Bea..." Luke's voice was hoarse and seductive.
Bianca gasped for air as she leaned on her. She would feel so spent every time after they kissed.
"No." She could sense that Luke was planning something else, and she grabbed his hands. "I still need to work."
Luke looked at the unfinished design on the computer and frowned.
He should not have disturbed her while she was working.
However, Bianca was as addictive as candy. He wanted to do it right now.
"How long more will you take?" He sounded more clear-headed.
"I don't think I'll be sleeping tonight. It would be great if I can use my previous design," she said in frustration.
Luke handed the glass of milk to her. "Drink."
Bianca took another sip. She had not eaten much while she was working overtime in the office, and the milk gave her some energy.
Luke took her laptop and placed it in front of her.
"What..." Bianca did not want to trouble him.
"If the milk isn't enough? I've also toasted some bread. You can eat it in the kitchen," Luke browsed the chat log with the client.
Bianca felt warmth in her heart. She leaned on his arm and said, "You don't have to help me." "I'm your husband. Who else will help you when you're in trouble?" Luke smiled gently. After reading the chat log, he began to work on the sketch.
"About the virus attack... has Mr. Doyle found anything?" Bianca asked after she placed her head on his shoulder.
Luke glanced at her. He would not want her to leave if she had not insisted on starting her own company.
Otherwise, she would not have offended so many people.
"Is it very troublesome?" Bianca guessed when she saw that Luke did not say anything.
"No." Luke shook his head. "The investigation is almost complete. You'll know the result soon." "I think there's something more to the attack. I always have this ominous feeling." Bianca was guessing from her intuition.
Luke did not say anything.
Bianca stopped asking questions and looked at him draw.
Soon, Tommy opened the door to the study and ran to her while pouting." I'm scared, Mommy." "What's wrong?" Bianca stood up and lifted Tommy, who was about to cry." Why did you wake up?" "I had a nightmare," Tommy said as he buried his head on Bianca's neck." There were so many aliens..."
Bianca was wondering why Tommy would suddenly dream of aliens when he continued, "The aliens from Daddy's story appeared in my dream. I'm so scared, boo hoo hoo..."
Luke stood up impassively and took Tommy. "The aliens won't hurt you. Go back to bed."
Tommy reached out toward Bianca and wailed, "I want Mommy. Save me, Mommy. Daddy is bringing the aliens."
Bianca massaged her forehead. When she was about to take Tommy back from Luke, Luke said, "Let me handle this."
She could only comply.
Bianca was Tommy's only parent when Luke was missing. She showered all her love on him considering that he was their youngest child.
Perhaps Bianca had pampered Tommy too much. Tommy's personality was very different from Lanie's and instead was clingy like Rainie.
Maybe it was time that Luke showed him some discipline.
After a while, Bianca did not hear Tommy's crying, and Luke came back to the study.
"Is Tommy asleep?" She smiled. Luke was quite reliable after all.
Luke hugged her waist and sat down. "Tommy threw a tantrum earlier tonight, so he's already quite tired. It didn't take him too long to fall asleep again." "Did you tell him a story about aliens?" Bianca asked.
"It's a story for boys," Luke said while rubbing her nose, "Tommy is a boy, and you pamper him too much. He's like a princess now." "But he's your son," Bianca said helplessly. Why would a father say that about his son?
However, she knew that Luke's parenting methods were like that.
"I can take care of the children while you're busy." Luke seemed quite confident of himself.
Bianca had no objections. He might be strict, but Tommy was his son after all.
She yawned.
"If you're tired, you should take a nap." Luke took control over her laptop once again, seeing that she was tired.
Bianca shook her head and gazed at his serious side profile. She knew that she was not going to get the laptop back, but she did not want to leave." Let me learn from you."
Luke did not try to convince her to sleep anymore. Instead, he told her about his design philosophy. Bianca was quite surprised by his thought process; his design suited the client's requirements more.
As the night went on, Luke did not seem to tire.
On the other hand, Bianca could not keep herself awake anymore. She sprawled on the desk and fell asleep.
When Luke saw that, he kissed her tenderly on her forehead and carried her into the bedroom.
When Bianca woke up the next day, there was no one next to her.
There was no one in the study either, but her laptop screen was on.
She went closer and saw that the design was already complete.
Bianca was shocked. She zoomed into the design and could not help but exclaim in surprise.
Luke was indeed a genius in architecture design.
While saving the design on her USB drive, she glanced at the clock. It was already nine o'clock.
"Lanie! Rainie!" Bianca remembered that she had to send the kids to school. Right after she stood up, she noticed a sticky note.
On it was Luke's handwriting.
"Don’t worry. I'll send Rainie and Lanie to school. Your breakfast is in the microwave."
Bianca felt warmth in her heart.
Previously, she would have thought it was glamorous but troublesome to live with a wealthy family.
To accommodate her feelings, Luke had moved out of Crawford Manor and lived in a mansion far away from society.
That was the life she wanted - simple but full of love.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 898-Shireen Knew That Bianca Had Some Trust In Her
When Bianca returned to the office, she noticed that everyone was listless.
After a brief meeting, she went into her office and revised the proposal.
Sue walked in and said with envy in her eyes, "Ms. Rayne, you're pretty efficient, aren't you?" "Luke helped me out." Bianca was not one to take Luke's credit. As she spoke, she texted a client to come over to the office to review the revised artwork in the afternoon.
The dark circles under Sue’s eyes were obvious. She held her chin, then sighed and said leisurely, "It's a great thing to have someone help you, unlike me. The twins tortured me all night. When I finally had time to work on the designs, it was already dawn."
Bianca put down her phone and smiled apologetically as she said, "You've been working hard, and taking care of children takes a lot of energy. How about this? Hand over one of your urgent projects and I'll take care of it." "No worries! If Mr. Crawford finds out, he'll kill me." Sue refused Bianca's suggestion. She envied their love, but unfortunately, she had entrusted her love to the wrong person and there was no turning back now.
At her age, it was not difficult for her to find a decent man to spend the rest of her life with. However, she had two kids.
Although Jason Doyle shared custody of the kids with her, she did not trust him to take care of them.
The more Sue thought about it, the angrier she got. Jason Doyle was not a man!
How could he lead her on when he was still involved with his ex-wife?!
Bianca did not insist as she, too, had a lot of projects on hand. Since she became a mother, all she wanted was to spend her free time with her kids.
Sue rolled her eyes and continued asking, By the way, any updates on the investigation?" "They found something and I reckon they're still collecting evidence."
Bianca turned on her computer, opened the artwork, and pressed print.
"Okay, I won't ask any further. I'll head off and continue working. Else, I won't be able to submit it in time. By the way, when will Nina be back?" Sue suddenly thought of Nina and asked Bianca.
Nina took a long vacation when Bianca was on her honeymoon. As for where she went, she said nothing to anyone. Only Sue knew.
Sue felt weird about Nina and Percy Mallory's relationship.
"Hmm, it should be soon. I'll ask her." If it were not for Sue’s reminder, Bianca almost forgot that Nina could be of help.
She was going to ask Nina first, and if Percy refused to let her leave, she would get Luke to talk to him about it.
Although Bianca had not commented much, she knew that Nina was not having a good time with Percy. Otherwise, why was she losing so much weight? Her cheeks looked so hollow the last time Bianca saw her on the cruise ship.
"Okay." Sue walked out of Bianca's office.
Before Bianca could finish printing the artwork, someone knocked on her office door.
"Come in." She stood in front of the printer and collected the papers as they were being printed.
Shireen Williams walked in.
"Ms. Rayne." She looked cautious and unnatural as she stood awkwardly by the door. Shireen looked as though she was waiting to be executed.
Bianca did not look at her. She pointed at the sofa and said, "Sit down."
Shireen parted her lips slightly and eventually stepped in. She closed the door and sat on the sofa.
Bianca put away all the printed materials and said, "What can I do for you?" "Ms. Rayne, I'm sorry. I know that I made a mistake. Although I didn’t plant the virus, I forgot to turn off my laptop when I left the office. If it were not for me, all of our computers wouldn't have been attacked by the virus." "Did you do anything else besides forgetting to turn off your laptop?" Bianca had a calm expression. She did not show too much pity when faced with Shireen's anxiety.
Luke had influenced her.
Shireen shook her head for fear that Bianca might misunderstand her. "Ms.
Rayne, I didn't do anything that would harm the company." "Since you didn't, what's the issue here?" Bianca's voice was faint as she said, "Although I may not take your word for it, we’ll find the culprit sooner or later. At that time, I won't forgive them easily. Do you understand me?"
Shireen knew she did not do it and felt no guilt in her heart, so she said, "I know." "As for your apology for forgetting to turn off your computer, I accept it. After this, you should focus on the projects that are due soon. Don't let what happened affect the quality of your work," Bianca reminded Shireen.
During this morning's meeting, she had reviewed everyone's designs and found that Shireen was the farthest behind.
She was talented in design, so this should not be the case. The only explanation that Bianca could think of was that her mind was occupied with the virus incident.
"Yes, Ms. Rayne." Shireen smiled gratefully at her.
Since the incident happened, not once had Bianca questioned Shireen's loyalty. She asked her about the details of the incident and nothing else.
Shireen knew that Bianca had some trust in her.
After working overtime for several days, the urgent projects were finally sorted. Bianca breathed in relief after she sent all the designs to the client.
That night, she booked a private suite in Hilton to reward the employees who had been working hard for this.
Originally, she had assigned Sue to deal with this and did not plan to show up. During this busy period, she had not spent more than an hour with her three kids.
Even an independent child like Blanche had some complaints about it.
Bianca was ashamed.
After Luke found out about the event, he insisted that she attend. Not only that, but he also sent their kids to Crawford Manor and got Old Master Crawford to babysit.
Bianca was puzzled. She put her arms around his waist and asked, "Are you going with me tonight?"
Luke smiled and said nothing. He looked at her with hints of excitement.
Bianca was even more confused now. She could not help but squeeze his chin. His stubble pricked her soft palm as she said, "Why aren't you saying anything?" "Don't worry about it. Just make sure you're there tonight." Luke held her restless hand, lowered his head, and kissed her smooth fingers.
God was kind to Bianca. Even after she worked several jobs when she was studying abroad, her hands were still extremely soft.
Bianca went along and headed downstairs to kiss the kids on their foreheads. After she sent them off, she changed her clothes before hurrying to Hilton.
As soon as she pushed open the door of the suite, Sue leaned in and asked cheekily, "Didn't you say you wanted to spend time with Mr. Crawford? Why are you here?" "I wanted to spend time with my children." Bianca picked up a glass of red wine. She took only a sip because she was clear on her limit.
"Spending time with your children, you mean... Mr. Crawford?" Sue knew Bianca well. Luke and Bianca had been together for a few years, but they still acted like a newly married couple.
Their relationship was one for the books...
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 899-He's Here?
Bianca noticed that Sue’s eyes were flickering with jealousy.
Sue suppressed the loss she felt in her heart and raised a glass to Bianca." Ms. Rayne, our company has overcome a crisis, we should celebrate.
Cheers!"
Bianca smiled and took a sip of wine.
With Sue starting it off, the other employees were itching to have a toast with Bianca as well.
"You’re not allowed to get Ms. Rayne drunk. She has a family. If she goes back drunk, she’ll have a hard time explaining herself. If you want to drink, drink with me." Sue stood guard in front of Bianca.
She wanted to remind Sue that she also had two kids to take care of, but then she thought that perhaps Sue wanted to get drunk to get some thoughts out of her head.
Everyone who worked in T Corporation was like family. Even if Sue got drunk, she would be taken care of. As such, Bianca went along with it.
The other side.
After Bianca left home, Luke had driven to the airport.
Maxine Douglas walked out of the airport and saw Luke standing next to the car, smoking a cigarette. She could not help but leap toward him.
"Luke, you're here!" she walked up to him, her face flushed with excitement.
When Luke called her, Maxine could not believe what she heard! It was his voice and his number, so she knew she was not dreaming.
Maxine did not hesitate and booked the earliest flight to A City. It did not matter that there were no first or business class tickets available. She willingly accepted economy class.
"Get in the car." Luke's expression remained calm when faced with Maxine's excitement. He put out his cigarette and opened the driver's door without any intention of opening the door for Maxine.
Maxine, who was still dazzled by the surprise, did not pay attention to these details. She happily walked around the front of the car and sat in the passenger seat.
She turned her head and looked at Luke with infatuation, missing the sinister look that always flashed in his eyes.
"Luke, are we going home to meet Aunt Allison?" Maxine was so happy that she had begun to fantasize about a life with Luke.
"We're in no hurry." Luke started the car. "Have you eaten?" "No." Maxine was surprised at his thoughtfulness.
"Let’s go for dinner, then." Luke's brows furrowed tighter at the overwhelming smell of Maxine's perfume. Compared to the complicated and overbearing fragrance, he much preferred the smell of Bianca-clean and pure.
Maxine did not think much about what he said and immediately nodded in agreement.
Luke's gaze sank. He stepped on the accelerator and drove to Hilton.
Maxine was not aware that what was waiting for her was not a sumptuous and romantic dinner but an endless web to entrap her.
Hilton.
When Maxine got out of the car, she tried to hold Luke's hand but he avoided it easily.
At that moment, she felt a little hurt. However, when she thought about it further, she decided it was not a big deal. After all, a public figure like Luke had to maintain a good image on the outside.
What was more, the public thought he and Bianca were still together. If they were photographed holding hands by reporters, it would damage his image.
Maxine happily decided to go along with him.
Luke booked a private room.
Maxine walked behind him. They were seen by Sue, who was headed to the bathroom.
"Isn’t that..." She hurried back to the private room and grabbed Bianca's hand.
"What's the matter?" Bianca looked at her with some curiosity.
"I saw Mr. Crawford just now and there was a woman by his side." Sue wanted to mention that the woman was good-looking but ended up keeping it to herself. After all, she did not know the full story.
"Luke's here?" Bianca suddenly realized why Luke sent their children to spend the night in Crawford Manor. It was because he had a meeting to attend.
Sue noticed how calm Bianca was and asked curiously, "Aren't you worried? It's a woman, after all."
Bianca trusted Luke completely. She shook her head and smiled lightly as she said, "Work is work. Sue, you weren't like this before. What’s going on? Are you too stressed?"
Sue understood. Bianca's company grew into what it was because of both of them.
She laughed and stopped talking, lest Bianca thought that she was trying to gossip.
The celebration continued, but Luke occupied Bianca's thoughts.
It was not that she suspected that Luke would wrong her, she just thought that it was weird he had not said anything to her.
He would always be forthcoming about the matters he had to attend. This was the only time he was acting mysteriously.
The other side.
Luke was sitting across from Maxine. The table was empty except for two glasses of lemonade.
There was no romantic candlelight dinner, nor was there tender affection on Luke's face that Maxine had been looking forward to.
She waited for a while. After she finished more than half of her lemonade, she could not help but ask, "Luke, aren't we having dinner?" "Wait a minute," Luke answered without looking up from his phone.
Bianca knew he was in Hilton, but it did not matter. It would not stop him from putting on a good show.
The success of this could also change Old Master Crawford's view of Bianca.
Maxine was not sure who he was talking to but judging from his serious expression, she thought he was probably busy with work. novelbin
She wanted to chat with him but controlled herself.
Someone knocked on the door of their private room. Before Luke could say anything, Allison Tanner let herself in.
"Why are you here?" Luke looked at his mother, who was dressed top to toe in designer wear.
Allison sat next to Maxine and held her hand eagerly. She said with a wide smile on her face, "I missed Maxine, so I came by to say hello. Maxine, you promised me that you’d come over and chat with me from time to time, but since you left the last time, you haven't taken the initiative to come over. If Luke hadn't taken the initiative to invite you, I don't know when I could see you again."
Allison had immediately come over after Maxine told her about it. She was ecstatic that her son had finally changed his mind!
When she saw the blush on Maxine's face, she teased them, "Am I in the way of anything?"
Maxine held in her dissatisfaction with Allison. She only told Allison to keep her updated on the progress of their relationship, she did not expect her to show up.
However, Maxine acted like a good girl and shook her head. No, I'm happy you're here. We haven't had dinner together in a long time."
Allison was satisfied with her kind and understanding attitude. She had no intention of disturbing their date, but she needed money to maintain her current lifestyle.
To do that, she had to improve her relationship with Luke.
Allison would naturally seize the opening that Maxine gave her. She glanced at the table and realized that the food had yet to be served, so she asked, "Luke, why hasn't the food been served yet?" "Wait a minute." Luke was still expressionless.
Allison nagged him, "You should treat Maxine better."
Luke put down his phone and fixed his gaze on Maxine. He said, "Of course. We have to wait a little longer for our luxurious meal."
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 900-Caused By Man
Luke's words made Maxine overjoyed but Allison was annoyed.
He was kind to every woman except her. He was cold and indifferent to her as though there was a deep hatred between them.
Allison glanced at Maxine, who looked like a young girl in love and decided to please her.
Half an hour later, Luke stood up and said, "Let's go." "Luke?" Maxine looked up curiously and wondered what was going on.' Why are we leaving before the food is served?' "Your luxury meal is at the door." Luke slowly tidied his coat, not allowing a single wrinkle.
Maxine did not understand what was happening but she stood up anyway.
Luke opened the door and several police officers rushed in.
"Ah!" Allison was dumbfounded. "Luke, what's happening?"
Luke kept quiet while the officer asked, "Is there a Ms. Maxine Douglas here?"
Allison looked at Maxine and asked in a sharp tone, "Maxine, what have you done?"
Her voice hurt Maxine's ears. If it had been in the past, she would have cursed at the police. However, Luke was still here so she had to maintain a good image. She replied softly, "I'm Maxine Douglas."
The policeman who led the arrest motioned at his team. Two policemen stepped forward and handcuffed Maxine.
Maxine, who had never been treated so roughly, screamed, "What are you doing?! Luke, save me!"
Luke stood on the side with an indifferent expression. The dark look in his eyes looked like it was about to burst at any time, turning into sharp venom to drown her.
Maxine could not resist the two strong policemen and was put into handcuffs. Seeing that Luke had no intention of helping her, she knew that he had set her up.
He lured her to come to A City just so he could lock her up.
If she was back at home, no one would dare to treat her like this!
"I'm the daughter of the owner of Capital Corp! How dare you do this to me?!" Maxine threatened the policemen.
Unfortunately, she was in A City. Capital Corp was nothing in A City compared to T Corporation or Luke.
The policeman stopped her before she could continue. "Ms. Douglas, we suspect that you hired a hacker to spread a virus in the computers of Brilliant Architectural Design LLC, leading the company to incur financial losses. You’ve committed a crime, please come with us."
Maxine's eyes widened. She did it remotely to mess with Bianca and left no trace. She thought she had gotten away with it since some time had passed. How did anyone find out about it?
She insisted that she was innocent. "I don’t know anything about what happened to Brilliant Architectural Design LLC. If you dare to wrong me, my father will make you regret it!"
Luke's thin lips parted slightly. His expression was cold and gloomy as he said, "The police wouldn't be acting without evidence."
Jason Doyle was efficient. If it were not for Bianca being so occupied, he would have solved the matter quickly.
The police had all the evidence they needed and were not afraid that Maxine's family would take revenge on them. He waved and said, "Take her away."
Maxine was escorted out of the private room.
At the same time, there was a knock on the door in the next room.
Sue was a little drunk. She held her wine glass and staggered to open the door. She squinted and saw two Jasons at the door. In an instant, she splashed whatever was left in her wine glass at Jason.
"Why are you here?" Sue squinted. One Jason was bad enough, but there were two... or three blurry Jasons in front of her.
Jason frowned helplessly and felt distressed when he looked at Sue.
"Sue..." "Please call me Ms. Carter!" Sue burped and reminded Jason ruthlessly.
"You're drunk!" Jason was focused on the woman in front of him and had forgotten about the task that Luke assigned.
"What does it have to do with you? Get out! I'm not in the mood to talk to you!" Sue was intoxicated and had no care about what others might think of her. All she wanted was to vent her dissatisfaction at Jason.
Bianca hurried over and held Sue. "Sue, you're drunk. Can you sit on the sofa?"
Sue clung to Bianca's hand and said drunkenly, "Bea, let me tell you, men are all unscrupulous animals! Of course, that doesn't apply to Luke. He's an exception and one of the best men out there. I'm envious of you... Why is the father of my babies such a terrible person?! No, my babies are mine. They don't have a father!"
Jason's expression turned grim as he listened to her rant.
Sue had the right to curse at him. He did not deserve to be the father of their two babies. However, after being splashed with wine and screamed at, he was not in the best mood.
Bianca was sharp and observant. She gave her employees a look.
Shireen Williams immediately walked over and helped Sue. "Ms. Carter, you're drunk. Let's go to the sofa and rest for a while."
Sue leaned on her.
Shireen was petite and was barely able to hold Sue up. She staggered toward the sofa.
Jason was worried that she would fall and wanted to step forward to help, but Bianca stopped him. She passed him a pack of tissues and said, "Mr. Doyle, why are you here?"
Jason then remembered what Luke had told him. He pushed his glasses, took the tissue, and cleaned himself as he said, ‘Madam, we found the person behind the virus incident. Mr. Crawford asked you to wait in the private room with the other employees. He'll get the police to explain everything." "They found out who did it?" Bianca frowned slightly. Why did Luke not tell her anything about it?
As soon as her words sounded, Luke walked over with a few policemen behind him.
Bianca recognized the person being held by the police. It was Maxine Douglas!
The culprit behind the incident was Maxine?
"My love," Luke walked over, called out to her, and hugged her.
"Luke, this is..." Bianca was confused. She and Maxine held no grudges against each other. Why would she hire someone to attack the company's computers with a virus?
"Shhh." Luke raised his fingers and made a shushing motion.
Bianca shut up and did not say anything else.
"What's the matter with you?" Luke looked at Jason, who smelled like alcohol and had sticky hair.
Jason smiled bitterly, looked at Sue who was drunk on the sofa, and explained, "There was a small accident." "Explain the situation." Luke realized that it had something to do with Sue and did not comment further.
Jason nodded, looked at Maxine and then at the employees of Brilliant Architectural Design LLC who were staring at each other. He said, "After our investigation, the virus attack on the computers in Brilliant Architectural Design LLC was not an accident. Someone was responsible for it.
