Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 901- Love Potion
Shireen felt like her innocence had been proven. She stood up and asked, ” Who did it?"
Jason said, "The person who downloaded the virus on the computer was David Muller, the security guard on duty in the building that night. He inserted a USB that carried the virus into a computer that was not turned off and it attacked all the computers connected to the internet. This person has been apprehended by the police and has confessed that the main culprit is Maxine Douglas of Capital Corp."
Bianca listened and was not surprised.
She had guessed it when she saw the handcuffs on Maxine.
Shireen cried because she was finally able to prove her innocence. During the last couple of weeks, although Bianca had not said anything to her, her colleagues had all acted differently around her.
They were extra careful when they were working on new designs around her as though they were afraid that she would steal their designs.
In order not to annoy others, she tried her best to be a lone wolf but felt extremely lonely.
A female colleague saw Shireen weeping silently and sighed as she remembered how they had treated her. She then handed her some tissues in an attempt to comfort her.
"I didn't do it!" Maxine knew that if she admitted to it, there was no turning back.
She had planned it so meticulously and thought that no one would be able to find out anything. She refused to admit to her crime, thinking that Luke was bluffing her.
"Luke, is this a misunderstanding? How could a well-behaved girl like Maxine do such a thing? What would she get out of it? Her life would go on regardless if Brilliant Architectural Design LLC survives or not." Allison, who had been following from behind, felt that she had to say something.
Luke lured Maxine to A City and then got her arrested by the police. It would undoubtedly offend Irving Douglas and the entire Capital Corp.
Allison thought that Bianca had seduced Luke with a love potion and it made him dumb enough to offend Irving Douglas. T Corporation could reach new heights in A City if it had the help of Capital Corp. No matter what had happened, Allison wanted to maintain a good relationship with them. novelbin
"What would she get out of it? You have to ask Ms. Douglas." As soon as Luke’s gaze left Bianca's face, his gentleness turned into indifference that was cold enough to freeze people.
Seeing his impenetrable appearance, Allison stomped her feet and looked at Bianca resentfully.
Bianca sighed in her heart and knew that Allison's gaze contained nothing but disgust and hatred.
Allison stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Luke, listen to me, it's a misunderstanding. Don't let the police take Maxine away, she's a good girl." "The people you like don't seem that great,” Luke said.
He was referring to Leia Norman and now, Maxine Douglas.
Bianca had not offended them, but they tried everything they could to cause trouble for Bianca. They were willing to use their money, body, soul, and everything they had just to make Bianca's life miserable.
Allison's expression changed. She knew that she could not persuade Luke but still wanted to put on a show for Maxine to see.
"Luke..." she said earnestly.
"Mr. Silva, you're responsible for this case and I hope you'll not wrong a good person or let a bad person go." Luke's tone was flat, but he was putting a lot of pressure on the policeman who headed the operation.
"Mr. Crawford, don't worry. We'll follow the legal procedures and give the public an explanation!" the policeman assured him.
As Maxine was taken away by the police, Allison hurriedly followed behind and comforted her, ' Maxine, don't be afraid. I'll get you a lawyer and inform your dad immediately!’
Luke put his arms around Bianca's waist, lowered his head, and said, "My love, shall we go back to Crawford Manor to pick up our children?" "Okay." Bianca nodded and finally understood why he insisted that she attend this celebration dinner.
She turned her head and found that Sue had fallen asleep on the sofa.
The employees on the side said with a smile, "Ms. Rayne, don’t worry, we're almost done here. Go home with Mr. Crawford. We’ll send Ms. Carter home.
Bianca smiled and said, ’I'll order some more wine and cheese boards.
Feel free to stay and enjoy yourselves." "Okay!”
Jason looked at Sue who was knocked out and was worried to leave her be. After he thought about it, he asked Bianca, "Ms. Rayne, can I send Sue back?"
Bianca thought to herself that Sue would not want anything to do with Jason, but the other colleagues had also drunk a lot. She was worried that they would not be able to take care of her.
She answered, "Then, you have to be mentally prepared."
If Jason dared to do something, with Sue's bold personality, she would most likely chase him around the house with a knife.
Jason smiled bitterly. It took him two years to break down Sue’s walls, but his ex-wife ruined it all and their relationship went back to square one.
All he wanted was to send Sue home safely.
Bianca and Luke left. At the front desk, they ordered some good wine and snacks for the employees.
Then, Luke drove back to Crawford Manor.
The couple was surrounded by their loving kids as soon as they arrived in the hallway.
"Daddy, Mommy!" Blanche and Rainie called out in unison, while Tommy prolonged his words, "Daddy, Mommy!"
Bianca squatted and planted a kiss on each of their foreheads.
"My babies, let's say goodbye to Grandpa and head home, shall we?" she smiled and said.
Luke said, "Give me a second, I have something to tell Grandpa.’
At first, Old Master Crawford wanted him to divorce Bianca to marry Maxine so that they could get the help of Capital Corp to resolve the crisis that T Corporation faced.
Now, he wanted to let Old Master Crawford know about the kind of person Maxine was. Although Old Master Crawford was old and put the interests of the family first, he also valued a person's character.
Knowing what he was going to talk about, Bianca nodded. She picked Tommy up, took Rainie in one hand, and walked in.
Blanche, on the other hand, followed Luke coolly.
"Grandpa." Luke saw Old Master Crawford sitting on the sofa in the living room, reading a book. He took the initiative to greet him.
Bianca also greeted him. "Grandpa, good evening.’
Old Master Crawford was still somewhat dissatisfied, so he just nodded and did not say a word.
Luke gave Bianca a look.
Bianca understood him. She held her children's hands and said, "Babies, Daddy hasn't eaten yet. Let's go to the kitchen and make him something to eat, okay?"
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 902-Luke Never Hid His Love For Her
Old Master Crawford stood up and said with a cold expression, "Let's talk in the study."
Bianca paused and gave a wry smile. Old Master Crawford was not a fan of her and did not want to talk in front of her.
She continued to walk into the kitchen while holding her children's hands.
Luke glanced at his wife and children before going upstairs with Old Master Crawford.
In the study, there was a game of chess on the table that was in progress.
Old Master Crawford played by himself and did not bother to look up at Luke, who sat opposite of him. He asked, "Is the company okay?" "T Corporation is doing great." Luke took out his phone from his jacket and showed Old Master Crawford a video. "I came over to show you a video."
Old Master Crawford stopped and looked up. "What video?"
Luke did not hand over the phone immediately. His deep-set eyes were filled with emotions that others could not read as he said, "Grandpa, you like Maxine?"
Old Master Crawford was old and did not understand the deep meaning in his grandson's eyes. He shook his head and coughed.
"I don't like Maxine, Luke. All I want is for T Corporation to be better.
Everyone in the Crawford family is keeping a close eye on you, and many in A City are waiting to prey on T Corporation. It’s tough for you to shoulder the weight of T Corporation alone, but your life will be easier if you had the help of the Douglas family." He was straightforward.
Old Master Crawford did not care who his granddaughter-in-law was as long as she had a good character and could help Luke.
After so many things had happened, Old Master Crawford understood that no matter how capable Luke was, he was only one man.
Luke had his weaknesses and could be defeated. What he wanted for Luke was a stronger backing.
Bianca was not the ideal candidate for that.
Luke's slender legs were crossed, and he looked calm as he said, "You told me that it doesn't matter who your granddaughter-in-law is as long as she has a good character."
Old Master Crawford was stunned. He had indeed said something like that, but at that time, T Corporation had not experienced such a crisis.
Luke handed the phone over and said, "The person you chose is not of good character."
Old Master Crawford watched the video and frowned. His expression was sour as he uttered, "What happened?"
The video was only one minute long, but he saw Maxine being taken into the police station.
"A computer in Bea's company was planted with a virus by someone hired by Maxine. The police arrested her and took her in for questioning." Luke folded his hands on his thighs with no intention of putting away his phone.
The one-minute video played again after it ended, repeating the loop.
"Luke, did you deliberately arrange this?" Old Master Crawford knew in his heart that without Luke's help, the police would not have been able to find Maxine.
Luke did not deny it. "If someone did something wrong and violated the law, they deserve to be punished."
Old Master Crawford was speechless. Luke sent Maxine into the police station in such a tempestuous manner, and reporters were now stationed outside. Irving Douglas might think that Luke was picking a fight with Capital Corp.
"Grandpa, Bea is my lover. I love her and will do anything to protect her. She has no one to help her in this matter. As her husband, I’ll surely help her. In this life, Bea will be my only wife. I have no interest in other women." Luke once again expressed his stance. "Bea is the only person worthy of standing next to me."
Old Master Crawford felt weak and waved his hand. "I know, I'll not question nor be involved in your relationship again. I'll treat Bea like my own granddaughter. Luke, since you were a child, you've had strong opinions that not many could change. I trust that you and Bianca will work together to ensure a future for the Crawford family."
Tommy was standing at the entrance of the study and eavesdropping with his ears against the wooden door. He heard bits and pieces of the conversation.
He went downstairs and walked into the kitchen. He held Bianca's thigh and said, Mommy, Daddy said that he loves you!"
Bianca was not sure what he was referring to.
Tommy repeated himself patiently, "Mommy, Daddy said 'I love you’ to Grandpa."
Rainie looked at her brother and acted as an interpreter. "Mom, I think what Tommy is trying to say is that Daddy told Grandpa he loves you.’
Blanche said coolly on the side, "Daddy has always loved Mommy, and Mommy loves Daddy." novelbin
Bianca was overjoyed and put aside the work at hand to touch the heads of her three children. Luke had never hidden his love for her.
Tommy was sucking his fingers on the side. After being guided by his brother and sister, he said softly, "Mommy, Tommy loves you too."
Bianca felt a gush of warmth in her heart. She squatted down and hugged the three of them. "Mommy loves you too."
Tommy asked her again, "Do you love Daddy?"
Rainie grabbed her brother's finger and said, "Of course, Mommy loves Daddy!"
Bianca laughed and touched Rainie's head. She was becoming more and more like an older sister. She took the initiative to correct his behavior when she saw Tommy sucking on his fingers.
Luke went downstairs and saw the heart-warming scene. "What's happening?" "Daddy, Mommy loves you." Tommy turned around and hugged Luke's thigh.
Luke stooped to grab Tommy, his eyes filled with warmth as he looked at Bianca affectionately. "Bea."
Bianca picked up the plate of noodles and said, "Are you hungry? I made some instant noodles and soft-boiled eggs. If you don't like it, I’ll make you something else." "No worries. I haven't had it for a long time, I kind of miss it." Luke brought Tommy to the dining room and placed him on the children's chair.
Blanche and Rainie were also sitting there. When they found out that Bianca was making instant noodles, they all wanted a bowl.
Thinking that it had been some time since they last had instant noodles, Bianca also made them some.
The family of five sat at the dining table. The instant noodles were steaming hot and the aroma filled the air. They were happiest when they were together.
Bianca carefully placed the bowls of noodles in front of them.
Luke's bowl was the largest, while Tommy's bowl was the smallest.
"Mommy, I want Daddy's bowl!" Tommy drooled, not satisfied with his portion.
"Baby, Daddy works very hard and needs to eat more. You've had dinner, and if you eat more, your stomach will be uncomfortable and you won’t be able to sleep later." Bianca coaxed him as she helped him cool his noodles.
Tommy snorted and dared not say anything when he met Luke's gaze.
Rainie took a bite of noodles and a bite of the egg. She said with a smile," Mommy, it's as delicious as before. Daddy said it was junk food but he always finished it each time. Is Daddy being a hypocrite?"
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 903-Your Cooking Satisfies Me
"It’s impolite to talk while you eat."
Before Rainie got an answer from Bianca, she heard Luke's low voice talking to her.
She protested, "Daddy, I haven't eaten yet."
Bianca laughed and touched Rainie's hair. "Baby, eat your food. It won't taste as good when it's cold."
Rainie smiled sweetly and answered, "Okay, Mommy."
Luke looked at the hot instant noodles and two soft-boiled eggs. As before, she had made them with love. He picked up his fork, took a big bite, and commented, "It's delicious!"
Bianca handed a fork to Tommy and was satisfied after she heard Luke's comments. "You're easily satisfied." "It’s your cooking that satisfies me," Luke corrected her.
Bianca lowered her head slightly and took a bite of noodles. Even though it was nothing but cheap noodles, they were happy.
The other side.
Jason drove the drunk and unconscious Sue home.
Although she had moved out of Nina's villa long ago and never told him her new address, Jason had always kept a close eye on her and their kids. He had memorized the address of her new home.
When he was sleepless at night, which often happened, he would drive to Sue’s place to watch the lights go out. He would silently accompany them from downstairs.
It was not that he did not want to go upstairs, but he was afraid of Sue and how she looked at him.
Jason parked his car downstairs and gave a wry smile. When did he become a coward?
When Bailey Quarrington filed for divorce, he was never cowardly.
However, when faced with Sue and his twin daughters, he became timid. He wanted nothing more than to give them a better life, but he could not do so because of Sue's hostility toward him.
"Cheers!" Sue was still drunk, and in her dreams, she was still drinking.
Jason shook his head helplessly as he looked at her red face.
Why did she drink so much? Her drunken appearance made him think that she was using alcohol to relieve her troubles. novelbin
Suddenly, Sue raised her hand, waved it a few times, and screamed," Jason, you bastard! Coward! I'll raise my daughters myself, get... out!" "Sue..." Jason's heart was sore. He had always wanted to mend his relationship with Sue, but Bailey had been meddling which only made things worse.
Sue did not respond to him.
Jason unfastened their seat belts, got out of the car, and opened the passenger door.
Sue was not heavy, so he easily carried her and closed the car door with one foot.
To avoid being harassed by Bailey, Sue had chosen a high-end apartment where unfamiliar vehicles would not be allowed to enter without the owner’s consent. His license plate was not registered, so he could only park on the side of the road. He walked in with the woman in his arms.
The security guard was familiar with Jason, so he did not stop him.
Fortunately, with the help of an elderly couple at the elevator, he managed to carry Sue into the elevator without a hitch.
After he told them the floor that they were headed to, the aunt pressed on the button. She curiously asked, "Is this your wife?"
Jason's heartstrings were tugged and he admitted, "Yes."
If Bailey had not meddled in their relationship, he and Sue would have gotten married and be living together now.
The aunt started gossiping, "How can you allow your wife to get so drunk? It's not good for her health if she drinks too much. Why didn't you stop her?"
Jason was a little embarrassed. The old man on the side took his wife's hand and said, "Who's to say he didn't try to stop her? Maybe his wife loves to drink?"
The old lady said, "Of course I know! The young man is still walking in a straight line. Does it look like he drank? If it were you, you’d be all over the place." "Ahem, I’m an old man, after all," the old man said.
"If you know you can’t drink, why do you still drink so much? Aren't you afraid that you might have too much and get a stroke on the side of the road? Passersby won't dare to save you for fear of being implicated later on," the aunt babbled on and said in a dissatisfied tone.
"What do you know? Drinking makes me happy."
The two of them went on and on, talking about how Jason did not help Sue before talking about their daily routine. They were almost quarreling.
Jason felt awkward.
Even Sue, who was in his arms, was annoyed and buried her head in his chest, seemingly trying to block out the noise the couple was making.
Fortunately, the elevator was fast and they soon arrived on the floor where Sue's unit was.
The couple was still arguing. Jason quickly walked out of the elevator so as not to be affected and so that they would not wake Sue.
When he got to Block A, he was not sure what to do.
The twins and the nanny would be asleep by now. If he knocked on the door, it would wake them up and their kids might be worried to see Sue so drunk.
Jason could not bear to worry his daughters.
He gently put down Sue and put one hand around her waist.
Sue leaned against him subconsciously.
The familiar scent, along with the smell of alcohol, filled Jason’s nose. His heartbeat sped up as he was reminded of the night he became acquainted with Sue many years ago. He was obsessed and wanted her all to himself.
However, Jason did not dare to do anything, let alone have any other ideas at that moment.
He took the key from her handbag with one hand and opened the door.
Before he could extract the key from the lock, Sue fell forward.
Jason immediately grabbed her, but he tripped over the threshold and the two fell to the floor, making a loud noise.
Sue was drunk and unconscious on his chest.
Jason felt pain all over his body.
The nanny woke up from the loud crash and immediately turned on the lights. When she saw the two of them on the floor, she exclaimed, "Ms. Carter, Mr. Doyle, what's wrong?"
Jason was reluctant to push Sue away, afraid that she would hurt herself on the floor. He said, "Sue is drunk, please come and help her."
The nanny immediately stepped forward to help Sue up.
Jason sat up and worked with the nanny to help Sue into the bedroom.
The twins woke up from all the noise.
Kari held Teri's hand. They blinked and exclaimed, "Dad, you're here!"
After Jason tucked Sue in, he squatted down, looked at his twin daughters, and made a quiet gesture. "Don't disturb Mom."
He took the two of them out of the bedroom and closed the door.
Teri asked, "Dad, is Mom sick?" "No, she drank a little and got drunk. She’s not sick, don't worry." Jason looked at his twin daughters with mixed feelings.
Although they did not live together, he could recognize who was who at a glance.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 905-Daniel Invited The Entire Crawford Family To His Birthday
Crawford Manor.
Luke and the family had spent the night in Crawford Manor as requested by Old Master Crawford.
Early in the morning, the table was full of people once again.
Old Master Crawford was delighted to see the happy family.
Louis went downstairs with his wife and daughter. He saw Luke and said with a smile, "Big Brother, Sister-in-law, you're all here." "Yeah." Luke was calm as always.
"Good morning." Bianca was holding Tommy in her arms. He drooled as he looked at the breakfast on the table. If she were not holding him, he would already have a donut in his hand.
Yuri Dunn sat down with Thea in her arms, feeling unhappy. She thought that Louis treated an outsider more eagerly more than he treated her and Thea.
"Uncle Louis, Aunt Yuri, Thea, good morning," Blanche and Rainie greeted them.
Tommy's attention finally shifted from the food. He greeted, "Good morning! Nice to see you, Uncle Louis, Aunt Yuri, and Thea."
Louis smiled when he saw Luke's kids. He lowered his head and squeezed Thea's hand. "Thea?"
Thea was unhappy. She lowered her head and complained in her heart, * Why is Dad so happy whenever he sees Uncle Luke's children?’ "Thea? Where are your manners?" Louis put his smile away, his expression turning serious.
Yuri sat her daughter next to her and complained, "Thea's throat isn’t feeling well. You’re her dad, don’t you know? The doctor asked her to talk less."
Louis frowned and thought to himself, 'Even if her throat is feeling uncomfortable, she could at least greet others, right?'
Before they went downstairs, Thea was just fine. It was unlikely that she could not speak, but rather, she was sulking with her cheeks puffed. novelbin
Bianca and Luke glanced at each other. Bianca was afraid that a war would break out if they went on, so she smiled and said, "No worries, since Thea's throat is uncomfortable, she should take good care of it."
Allison listened on the side and said mockingly, "Yeah, they should take good care of her. Thea is very weak and falls sick every couple of days. Thea, don't just study and work hard. Sometimes, it may not achieve the desired effect. You should exercise more to strengthen your body."
Susan did not want to pay attention to this mess but Allison's words irritated her. She slammed the table, ignoring that it would scare the children. She stared at Allison and said, "Allison, what are you trying to say? My granddaughter is in good health!"
Allison pretended to gently touch Rainie's forehead and then said, "Rainie never falls sick."
Old Master Crawford was sick of their fights. Everytime Luke came back, Allison would always show up and there would be chaos in the family.
"Shut up and eat!" he screamed at the two women who were more than 100 years old if one put their ages together. Were they not ashamed of acting like this in front of the children?
Susan held her anger in and glared at Louis.
How could Louis do nothing when his mother and child were bullied?
Allison was happy because she had the upper hand. She made some toast for Blanche and Rainie, saying, "My babies, eat more so you can grow up."
Blanche and Rainie, who had grown up watching all this since childhood, exchanged looks and said nothing.
They were used to it...
Thea looked jealously at the twins who sat opposite her and clutched her cutleries with her little hands.
The Crawford family loved the twins and made her feel like she was living in their shadows.
One day, she would be smarter and more likable than them.
The quarrel at the dining table was settled by Old Master Crawford. Bianca sighed in her heart. The grievances of the previous generation should not fall on the younger generation.
She casually put Tommy on the baby chair while hoping in her heart that Rainie and Blanche would not become victims of their comparison.
Luke suddenly grabbed her hand.
Bianca smiled and held his hand. Even though he did not say anything, she knew.
Luke was determined to move out so that she and her children could have better lives. This decision was the right one.
After breakfast, Old Master Crawford announced something.
"The day after tomorrow will be Daniel Tanner's birthday. He invited the entire Crawford family. Who'll be in attendance?"
There was silence at the dining table.
Considering what had happened between Bianca and Xavier Tanner previously, the relationship between the families had worsened.
Daniel invited the Crawford family to make peace.
Bianca glanced at Luke. He was slowly eating breakfast and did not comment on the matter.
Allison was frustrated with the situation. She was angry that no one from the Crawford family was saying anything.
He wanted to make peace, but the people of the Crawford family were refusing. If no one from the Crawford family showed up, she would be shamed when she returned to her family to show off.
Old Master Crawford was well aware and looked at Louis. "Louis, are you free the day after tomorrow?"
He was also infuriated at the bad things that Xavier Tanner did and did not have much interest in Daniel's kindness. Louis wiped his mouth and shook his head. "Grandpa, I happen to have a very important party the day after tomorrow, so I don't have the time to attend."
Susan smiled coldly and then added, "Dad, our family is not close with the Tanners. If you want to make peace with them, don't involve Louis." "Women!” Old Master Crawford cursed. He was not planning to show up. If he did, others would think that he was showing the Tanner family respect.
Louis was the best candidate, but he was unwilling.
"Luke, are you free to go with Bea?" Old Master Crawford asked again.
"Well decide at that time." Luke did not give a straightforward answer.
Allison was anxious and said quickly, "Luke, Daniel is your uncle. We still need to show him some respect."
Luke stood up and stared at her.
The Tanner family was equivalent to Allison's support in the Crawford family. After the last commercial battle, the Tanner family was exhausted and could barely maintain their reputation in A City. If he went, he might give them a chance to revive the Tanner family.
"The Tanner family is infamous in A City. What if people misunderstand and think that T Corporation has a relationship with them?" Luke said indifferently.
Susan covered her mouth and smiled. She gloated, "Of course, everyone already knows the truth but some people don’t want to face it. Luke, even if you try to ignore it, everyone knows about your despicable uncle and cousin."
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 906-You Should Learn Some Basic Self-Defense Moves
Allison's pale face was flushed as she glared at Susan. "What does this have to do with you?"
Susan covered her mouth and smiled. Her gaze was full of disdain and mockery. ‘You’re nothing but a mistress! Your family offended T Corporation and is being backed to a corner, causing you to struggle now. How ridiculous!’
Luke furrowed his brows. He did not want to see this kind of farce. He had felt helpless when he was a kid but as he grew up, he learned how to ignore it.
Bianca carefully wiped Tommy's mouth, stood up, and interrupted the farce by saying, "Grandpa, Luke and I need to leave first. We need to send Rainie and Blanche to school."
Old Master Crawford nodded. He was getting a headache from Allison and Susan quarreling. His sharp gaze swept over them.
Susan noticed how infuriated Allison already was so she said nothing.
Instead, she yawned and stood up with a smug expression. She said, "I'm tired too. Life is interesting, there are always ridiculous things happening every day."
Allison wanted to say something but was too frightened to speak when she met the sharp gaze of Old Master Crawford.
She did not dare to say anything to Luke because she was well aware that she had to depend on him to survive.
Luke and Bianca left with their children.
"Grandpa, I also need to send Thea to school." Louis also took Thea’s hand and left this place that was filled with conflicts.
"Go go." Old Master Crawford stared at Allison again to warn her. If she had not given birth to an excellent grandson like Luke, she would have been chased out of the manor.
Yuri was on Susan's side and left without saying anything.
Allison was full of anger and sat there, unable to vent.
When the maid came to clean up the dishes, she accidentally got a few crumbs on Allison's top. She could have easily cleaned herself up, but Allison stood up and waved her hand around.
She gave the maid two tight slaps across the face.
"Ah, Madam!" The maid covered her face, the burning sensation making her cry.
"Trash! You can’t do anything right! Can you afford to compensate me for my top?" Allison looked grim as she vented all her dissatisfaction on the maid.
Two days later.
Daniel Tanner's birthday banquet was not being held in the hotel because of budget concerns. Instead, it was held in the villa so that they could save on venue fees.
He had been in the industry for so many years and knew a lot of people from the same or next social class, but not the upper class.
He was entertaining the guests with a smile.
Xavier walked over with his hands on Riley's waist. He said lazily, "Dad, happy birthday."
Daniel did not expect that he would come back with Riley. He glanced at her belly and swallowed his words.
Although Riley was not presentable, she was still pregnant with the grandson of the Tanner family. He did not show much dissatisfaction and said, "Thank you. I'll be happier if you can take better care of yourself."
Riley looked coquettish and passed the gift bag in her hand to Daniel." Uncle Daniel, I wish you a happy birthday. This is a gift from Xavier and me." "Okay, thank you!” Daniel took the gift and did not bother to look at it. He just gave it to one of the Tanner family's servants.
Then, he said, "Xavier, come with me to entertain our guests."
Xavier looked at the guests coming and going. Most of them were the same. They were people who could not do anything for him, so he refused." Dad, these people are not worth my time."
He had no interest in minor characters like them. He was interested in meeting people who were more capable than Luke!
Daniel looked at his arrogant attitude, sighed, and stopped talking.
The Tanner family became what it was because of what Xavier did to Bianca that completely angered Luke.
However, Xavier's attitude remained the same and he refused to admit to his mistakes. Now that there was not much left in the Tanner family and his reputation was ruined, not many of the rich and powerful in A City looked kindly toward the Tanner family.
Daniel refused to give up and took advantage of his birthday to host a party so he could rebuild his relationship with the Crawford family.
Seeing Xavier haughtily holding Riley's hand, he shook his head and put on a smile again. He thought to himself, 'Will the Crawford family show up tonight?'
If they showed up, who would it be?
He was hoping that Allison would not show her face here as her presence would not be of much help.
After all, except for the few trophy wives who were close to her, the others in A City were not fans of what she had done when she was young.
Luke drove to the Tanner family’s villa.
Bianca sat in the passenger seat and looked at Luke, who was concentrating on driving. His profile was exquisite enough to drive any woman crazy.
He was hers.
Bianca thought that she must have done some earth-shattering good deeds in her previous life to earn this blessing.
"What are you thinking about?" Luke felt that she had stared at him for five full minutes without blinking. He did not know what she was thinking.
Bianca looked at the gift in the backseat and asked, "Why didn't you have the driver send us to the Tanner family’s villa?"
She was worried that Luke would not be able to drive after drinking.
Luke smiled softly and answered, "As long as I don't want to drink, no one can force me to drink." "Yes." Bianca shook her head. As long as he did not want to, no one could force him to do anything- including Old Master Crawford.
She pitied Old Master Crawford for having such a rebellious grandson.
Luke stopped the car and waited for the red light to turn green. He looked at Bianca and said, "Don't leave my side when we see Xavier."
She knew that he was worried about Xavier's schemes.
Bianca nodded and said, "Okay."
If she had the choice, she would not want to face the Tanner family, including Daniel, Lacey, and Xavier...
Their family was very weird and would do anything as long as it benefited them or served a certain purpose.
Bianca was annoyed with them.
However, she knew that Luke had his reasons for attending this banquet. As his wife, of course, Bianca would be by his side.
Seeing that he was still staring at her, Bianca said in a serious tone, "I promise I won't leave your side. When we see Xavier, I’ll avoid him as much as I can. Don't worry..." "My love, I think that you should learn some basic self-defense moves," Luke said. 1
In the past, every time Bianca was threatened or injured, he was afraid that she would leave him for good.
He was not strong enough to protect her, and at the same time, Bianca was too weak to protect herself well.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 907-Bianca Intended To Spend The Rest Of Her Life With Luke
Self-defense?
Bianca was well aware of how weak she was.
Sometimes when something happened, even the bodyguards that Luke hired could not protect her. In the end, he had to put himself in harm's way to save her.
Bianca raised her gaze and agreed with him, "Tomorrow is Saturday. I'll sign up for a class and do my best."
She was going to learn self-defense not only to make herself stronger and not hold him back anymore but also for the sake of her health.
Bianca intended to spend the rest of her life with Luke, but after giving birth to Tommy, her health deteriorated. She was afraid that her dream would not come true because of that.
Therefore, her intention of learning self-defense was to protect herself and strengthen her body.
"You don't need to sign up for classes. I'll get someone to teach you." Luke freed his right hand and held Bianca's hand.
She smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.
They soon arrived at the Tanner family's villa.
There were so many guests that many cars were parked in temporary parking spaces on the roadside of the housing area.
Luke finally found a parking space but was annoyed that the Tanner family's villa was two kilometers away.
"Bea, it looks like we have to walk there," Luke stopped the car and said.
Bianca was wearing a comfortable pair of kitty heels. She unbuckled her seat belt and smiled, saying, "It's okay, it's good to exercise."
The couple got out of the car.
Bianca went to the back seat and took the gift. Luke had prepared it and she was not aware of what it was.
Luke took the bag in her hand, unwilling to let her do any work. "I'll take this.
Bianca had no objections and walked with him to Tanner Mansion.
On the way, they saw many cars that occupied two parking spaces. She said helplessly, "No wonder it was so difficult to find a parking space."
Luke replied, "You can see a person's character from their choice of friends.
Bianca nodded in agreement with him.
Daniel Tanner was not a good person, so all the friends he had were people like this. How they parked put their moral standards on full display.
The couple stepped into the Tanner family's villa and instantly aroused interest from other guests.
"Oh my God, it's Luke from T Corporation! I can't believe he's here! He's sure showing respect to Daniel!" "Don't you know that Luke's uncle is Daniel? Of course, he's here for his birthday." "But T Corporation was behind Tanner Corporation's crisis. If the two are related, that shouldn't be the case,
right?" "In the face of profits, torn skin can recover again. The Tanner family is going to be brilliant again. We have to seize the opportunity. Maybe we can still get something out of it?"
Bianca frowned slightly as she listened to the guests' gossip.
Luke did not like being talked about like this.
Sure enough, Luke stopped in his steps.
His cold and sharp eyes looked at the guests who were talking. In an instant, they shut up and pretended to look around.
Bianca calmed him down. "Don't be angry." "It's okay." Luke grabbed her hand.
Daniel heard the news as soon as Luke and Bianca entered the vicinity. He hurriedly ended his conversations and immediately walked to the entrance.
'They came!’ He was surprised and delighted. This pomp was even more prestigious than Old Master Crawford's.
"Luke, you're here!" Daniel seemed to have forgotten about the previous incident and stepped forward to welcome him warmly.
Luke handed the gift and said, "Uncle, happy birthday."
His tone was cold and unenthusiastic.
Compared to Daniel's welcome, which was warm like the sun, he was colder than the Arctic snow.
Bianca eased the tension and greeted Daniel, "Uncle Daniel, happy birthday, and I wish you all the luck in the world."
If it had been in the past, Daniel would be resentful of Bianca.
It was she who seduced Xavier and provoked Luke just like a vixen, causing the two families to lose their peace.
However, Bianca was the wife of the president of T Corporation now. No matter how resentful Daniel was, he dared not show it.
"Thank you, really. You're too kind." His smile was fake. He glanced at the bag and it did not feel heavy when he held it, but he knew that Luke would not be stingy.
Luke held Bianca's hand tightly and said, "The gift is something you like, Uncle." "Good, good." Daniel was excited when he heard it. Everyone present could see that not only did Luke attend his birthday party, but he also prepared a gift that he would love.
Had it not been impolite to open the gift on the spot, he would have eagerly opened it.
Daniel grinned, his expression ugly and one of flattery.
"Luke, I’ve arranged special seats for you. Would you like to go in?"
Luke nodded and held Bianca's hand as they walked in.
The so-called special seats were just indoor seats.
The people around did not dare to talk to Luke, and Bianca was happy about that. Although the event was boring, she would never be bored with Luke.
"Luke, who are you going to get to teach me self-defense tomorrow?” Bianca asked curiously.
It was likely he would get someone he trusted.
After all, it was safe and convenient that way.
"Rain. She has experience in this." Luke held her hand, put it to his lips, and kissed it without caring that others were still looking at them.
The gossiping was much quieter now.
Bianca nodded and grabbed his hand. She was aware of who Rain was although they had not interacted much. She knew that Rain was loyal to Luke.
Xavier walked over, followed by Riley.
The guests around were his eyes and ears. He knew exactly when the Crawford family showed up and who was in attendance.
Knowing that Luke had come with Bianca, Xavier could not wait to rush over. His pace was faster than ever.
Riley held his sleeve in one hand and put the other on his waist. She said coquettishly, "Xavier, go slower."
Xavier pretended he did not hear her and sat across from Luke and Bianca. He looked at their hands that were tightly interlocked and did not hide the jealousy in his eyes as he said, "Cousin, welcome."
Riley was panting. The temperature in the room was just right, but she was sweating buckets because of her health.
Before she could walk over, she was pulled by Xavier and landed on his lap unexpectedly.
"Xavier." Riley was taken aback, but she was still acting coquettishly.
Xavier squeezed her face without pity. He did not feel any distress when he heard her yelp in pain. Instead, he had a weird smile on his face as he asked, "Cousin, why are you so quiet? This is my girlfriend, Riley. Take a closer look, doesn’t she look like Bianca?"
Bianca frowned in disgust.
Bianca and Riley were two different individuals, so they should not be compared.
Bianca thought that something was wrong with Xavier when it came to relationships. His emotional intelligence was not comparable to Luke's.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 908-Sometimes, He Threw the Ball in Her Direction So That He Could Look at Her
Luke's cold gaze lingered on Riley's face for one second before turning away to look at Bianca once more while placing the back of her hand in his cheek.
"To me, Bianca is a unique presence. No one in the world is like her, and no other woman is worthy of being her substitute." It was rare that Luke spoke so much about her, which warmed Bianca's heart as she listened to it.
She did in fact think that Riley looked somewhat similar to her, and she was quite appalled that Xavier could do such a thing.
However, Luke's words had made Bianca think that Xavier was doing all that in vain. She was irreplaceable after all.
The love that they gave Xavier could not be compared to the love that she gave Luke.
Riley seemed surprised. She had suspected Bianca's identity when she met her at the mall, but she did not expect that Bianca would be Luke Crawford's wife!
Her face turned red with embarrassment. Xavier seemed to have set her up for humiliation, while Luke had expressed his revulsion for her.
Women did not like being compared to one another.
She said coyly to Xavier, "What do you mean, Xavier? We don't look alike at all. I am me, and Mrs. Crawford is Mrs. Crawford."
Bianca agreed with what she said, regardless of her motive. "That's right.
Ms. Riley is young and beautiful, unlike me."
Xavier's expression sank, thinking that Riley was in no position to talk when men were talking. He shoved Riley, and she nearly fell.
Riley was angry. She was bearing Xavier's child, but Xavier did not seem to care for her at all. She wanted to throw a tantrum but dared not to.
She still had to maintain Xavier's favor. After all, she had always dreamed of living the high life.
Xavier was rich, and he was younger and much more handsome than the other sugar daddies.
She bunched up her hair and sat down elegantly at another seat. Her gaze was brimming with her love for Xavier.
Xavier did not look at her. His gaze was transfixed obsessively on Bianca.
If Luke had not interfered, Bianca would still be his wife!
Bianca hated being stared at like that. She lowered her head and sipped her juice, pretending that she did not care.
"That's quite enough of you looking at Bianca, my cousin. Please remember that she is my wife," Luke said coldly.
Xavier did not feel embarrassed after being called out. Instead, he felt angry.
Riley's nails were digging into her palm. She almost could not maintain the smile on her face.
"Have you heard?" Xavier said ominously as though he was not afraid of offending Luke, "What goes around comes around."
He was referring to the fact that Luke had taken Bianca from him.
Bianca was angry. She would not have gone to the courthouse with him if he had not deceived her!
He would still be in prison if not that Yvonne had taken the fall!
Bianca squeezed Luke's hand. She did not plan to speak, but she could not stop herself, "Luke and I genuinely love each other, ever since we were in school."
While they were still students, they did not profess their feelings for each other.
Even so, after so many obstacles, they remained together.
Xavier was furious.
Before he could lose his temper, a servant came to speak to him. "Sir has been looking for you, Mr. Xavier. You may find him in the study."
Xavier grunted coldly. "Is there anything that can't wait until the end of the banquet?" "Sir insists that you meet him right away." The servant seemed to be quite troubled. He did not want to offend Daniel.
Xavier left the table. He felt aggrieved by what Bianca said, but he had nowhere to release his anger.
Seeing that she was left behind, Riley could only helplessly follow him," Wait for me, Xavier."
Bianca gradually relaxed her brows. She genuinely hated Xavier, but she noticed that Luke was not angry at all. Instead, he was smiling.
"Are you smiling?" She was quite surprised because Xavier's words did not anger him.
Even though Luke had ended that farce of a marriage, she was nonetheless a remarried woman. Luke should have found offense in that.
He nodded and gently stroked Bianca's hair that was scattered on her shoulders. "I'm reminiscing about the time back in high school when you were standing behind the wall and looking at me playing basketball. I could instantly tell what you were thinking."
Bianca lowered her head slightly in embarrassment. She was blushing hard.
"Unfortunately, I could not choose my significant other. If I had, I would have confessed to you. I've been wondering if our life would be easier if I had confessed to you back then," Luke said as he looked at Bianca's blushing face.
Boys who played basketball in school were the most popular among girls, especially Luke, whose appearance was extraordinary.
Many girls would watch him from the side of the court and would try to court him.
Bianca was the only girl who stood farther away at the low wall. Luke waited for her to approach him with a towel and a bottle of water, and he rejected all the other girls' advances.
Bianca, on the other hand, did not understand Luke's thoughts. Luke had purposely thrown the ball in her direction just so that he could look at her, but when their eyes met, she would lower her head like a frightened rabbit, just like what she was doing now.
Seeing how timid Bianca was, Luke did not attempt to court her.
Bianca shook her head. "I don't know. Back then, you were too outstanding.
I could never dream of being with you."
Nina had urged her to confess to Luke more than once.
Bianca felt inferior for being an unremarkable girl raised by her grandfather.
What right did she have to be the most popular boy's girlfriend?
She had been hampered by her self-inferiority since young.
She would not have been confident if not for Luke's support either.
Bianca noticed that Luke's smiling was becoming more and more profound. She looked around and noticed that many women were ogling at him.
She was not happy that other women are coveting her husband.
"Should we leave now, or are we waiting for something?" She asked softly.
Luke shook her head. He had prepared something for the night. "We can't leave yet, but you don't have to worry that Xavier would look for trouble with you."
Bianca was not worried, but she did not want to see that man again.
Xavier should have borne the most responsibility for Old Master Rayne's current state, but he managed to get off scot-free thanks to Yvonne.
Not only that, but Bianca always felt uneasy when she saw Xavier’s wildness.
Bianca understood that Luke was waiting for something to happen. She nodded and did not say anything else.
Daniel was drawing deeply from his cigarette in the study.
Various objects were scattered across the table, including the package that Luke had given him earlier.
He thought that Luke would be giving him an expensive present, but it turned out to be a document!
He had never known that Xavier had done so many ridiculous things!
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 909-Luke Found Out What He Did and Even Had the Evidence to Prove It
Xavier entered the study without knocking at the door.
Daniel was furious. He threw the objects on the table at his son. "You wretch! Must you do this to your father?"
Xavier's expression sank, though he was not going to lose his temper at his father. He glanced disdainfully at the things that had fallen on the floor.
"Why are you acting all crazy? Your guests are waiting for you outside!" He said unhappily.
Daniel's chest was heaving from anger. He pointed at the document on the floor and said, "Pick it up."
Xavier bent over and picked up the few pieces of paper. He glanced at it and wondered why his father would be so angry.
"Where did you get this?" His expression darkened, and the hands that were holding the document began to tremble.
"That's the present from Luke Crawford!" Daniel stood up abruptly and, in a fit of rage, threw the burning cigarette at Xavier's face. Xavier managed to dodge it in time. He would be hurt if he did not.
"How dare he!" Xavier's expression became savage. In the document was evidence of the things that Xavier had done to resolve his family crisis. He knew how serious things could get if the evidence was leaked, so he had conducted his business personally so that no one could have any dirt on him.
Somehow, Luke managed to discover what he did and obtained incriminating evidence!
Luke's influence on the criminal underworld was more far-reaching than Xavier thought.
The veins on Xavier's forehead bulged. He wished that he could rip Luke into pieces.
"How dare he? Why wouldn't he? He'd be commended for his sense of justice if he hands in the evidence to the police!" Daniel was hit by a bout of dizziness and grabbed the back of his chair.
In the past, Daniel could always clean up Xavier's mess.
However, the Tanners were no longer influential. Daniel had warned his son to behave to no avail. Not only had Xavier refused to marry Melissa, but he had impregnated an art school student!
He had fallen out with the Lerches, and the situation of the Tanner family had become more precarious than ever. Even so, Xavier brought him nothing but trouble!
Daniel could feel his blood pressure rising when he considered the possibility that the document might end up in the police's hands. Xavier would be sentenced to at least twenty years for sure!
"What does Luke want?" Xavier’s gaze became murderous.
At that moment, he regretted not violating Bianca, which would deal a psychological blow to Luke!
Daniel took several deep breaths to calm himself down, took out his blood pressure medication from the drawer, popped a pill into his mouth, and closed his eyes. Then, he slowly spoke, "That man has total control over us now. He must want something from us if he didn't hand the evidence to the police. I've turned a blind eye to whatever you did in the past, but now, you'll have to control your temper for the sake of the family."
Xavier was silent. If Luke could give him that document, it meant that Luke must have made copies.
Xavier had done so many things for the Tanners in secret just so that he would fight back against Luke, but he did not expect that Luke knew what he was doing.
Without waiting for Xavier to reply, Daniel continued, "If you go to prison this time, who knows if you'll get out before I die! Also, this matter doesn't only involve you, Xavier. If you can't spare a thought for me, at least spare a thought for your mother and that child of yours! Don't offend Luke for the time being. After the banquet, I'll try to find out more from him!"
Xavier wanted to protest, but he noticed that his father's face was pale and considered that he would be sent to prison.
He did not want to spend the next twenty years in prison!
He could only agree reluctantly.
"Give that to me!" Daniel extended his hand. No one else could find out the existence of that document, not even his wife!
If fewer people knew about it, it would be less risky for Xavier.
Xavier handed the document to his father. His gaze was brimming with resentment.
Knowing what his son was thinking, Daniel tossed the document in the drawer and warned Xavier again, "Don't go and look fortrouble with Luke. You can't afford to offend him!"
Xavier grunted coldly and left the room.
Riley had been waiting for Xavier outside the study. Seeing Xavier exit the room, she quickly followed behind him. "Wait for me, Xavier!"
Xavier was looking to release his anger. He turned around and noticed Riley.
"She's asking for it!’
Xavier grabbed her wrist. "Follow me!"
Riley cried out in surprise and was led to the bedroom. "I'm pregnant, Xavier!" "Shut up!" Without being able to get even with Luke, Xavier could only release his anger on the woman's body.
Melissa, standing in a corner, witnessed Xavier and Riley going into the bedroom and knew what they were going to do. She held onto Lacey's gown tightly and sobbed. ‘I won't forgive that b*tch, Aunt Lacey!"
Lacey also noticed her son hurriedly dragging Riley into his bedroom.
She knew what her son was doing, but she could not bear to see Melissa cry. "Don't cry, Melissa. You'll ruin your makeup. Xavier isn't serious with her!"
Melissa was not going to be convinced so easily. She stomped her foot stubbornly. "Go in and stop them, Aunt Lacey! Xavier can only be mine!"
She was pampered since young and was used to getting what she wanted.
She did not want to lose to a mere art school student!
How was Riley any better than her?
Lacey was getting impatient. "They're only going into the bedroom, Melissa, and they're probably not doing what you're thinking. After all, Riley is already pregnant, and Xavier knows that he needs to be careful. Maybe your Uncle Daniel was talking to him about breaking up with that girl so that he could marry you, and they’re talking about it in the bedroom!"
Melissa was not so easily deceived. She could tell from Xavier's expression that he was looking for a release.
She knew that Lacey had always wanted a grandchild, but she was not going to let her wish to be fulfilled that easily. Pretending to wipe away the tears from her eyes, she said viciously, "I know that
you want that child in that b*tch's womb, Aunt Lacey, but think about it. How many men have Riley slept with before hooking up with Xavier? Who knows if the child is Xavier's?" "That can't be..." Lacey had confirmed with Xavier that Riley only got pregnant after hooking up with her son.
"Why not? That poor art school student would do anything to make money. She might even be sleeping around with other men while dating Xavier. Do you think Xavier would treat her like that if he's the father of the child in her womb? Maybe he already knows it, but he's reluctant to leave that seductress!"
Melissa embellished the tall tale with whatever she could think of.
Lacey sank deep in thought.
"Xavier is still young, Aunt Lacey, and I'm healthy. You can't let Riley keep the child. Otherwise, she'll insist that the baby's father is Xavier and blackmail you with that." Melissa used the opportunity to give her a timely reminder.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 910-Luke Must Have Done Something
Lacey was beginning to waver.
Melissa was not done yet. She shook Lacey's arm and said, "Aunt Lacey, if you like children, I'll give you one once Xavier comes to his senses and marries me. You don't need Riley's baby. Who knows if you’re only raising a child for someone else?"
Lacey became wholly convinced. "Alright, but that b*tch is already a few months into her pregnancy. We can't afford to wait if we want to get rid of it."
Melissa hurriedly added, "I've asked the doctor that examined her. He said that the baby isn't firmly embedded in the placenta, and she'll have to be careful. Otherwise..."
She pretended to hesitate.
"Go on, Melissa! Otherwise what?" Lacey was anxious when she considered that the child in Riley's womb might not be Xavier's.
"Otherwise, if she bumps into something, she might easily lose it." Melissa let go of her hand. Now that she had gotten Lacey on her side, it was time that the little b*tch left Xavier.
'Do you think that you're special just because of the baby? In your dreams!' "Hmm, if that's the case..." Lacey narrowed her gaze and sank into thought.
Melissa leaned close to her ear and told Lacey about her plan.
Lacey immediately agreed with it, though she hesitated. "If we do that, it'll be bad if Xavier finds out."
Melissa grimaced menacingly. "It'll be fine as long as he doesn't know about it. Not only will he not know about it, but no one else in the world will. There's a woman you hate in attendance at today's banquet, right?"
Melissa was talking about Bianca.
Bianca was the cause of the Tanners' decline.
Lacey nodded in assent. It would be great if she could kill two birds with one stone.
Melissa was delighted. After tonight, she would be the one standing next to Xavier.
Daniel sat in the study to catch his breath. When he felt a lot better, he went out of the room.
Melissa thought of doing something and told Lacey that she had to leave for a while.
Xavier's bedroom was next to the study.
Melissa sneaked into the study and pressed her ear against the wall to hear what was going on in the bedroom.
The walls of the mansion were not particularly thick, but the banquet guests were noisy outside, and Melissa could not hear anything.
She bit her fingernails, wondering if she should knock on the door to disturb them.
However, she considered that Xavier had a rotten temper.
She grunted coldly. "I'll deal with you later, you little b*tch."
She turned around and glanced at the messy desk. As far as she knew, her uncle usually kept it well- organized.
However, Melissa was not going to take the initiative to tidy it. When she was about to leave, she noticed a piece of paper curled up under the desk.
Only a corner was seen. It was by pure chance that she noticed it.
Melissa pulled it out. When she glanced at it, she was shocked.
That piece of paper was one part of the document that Luke had given Daniel.
"Did Xavier..." Melissa could not believe it.
Her phone began to ring. Instead of returning the piece of paper to where she found it, she instinctively stashed it in her handbag.
The call was from Lacey. She stammered, still in shock, "Yes, Aunt Lacey?" "Where are you? The banquet is about to begin. Don't be late. I've already saved a spot for you,” Lacey said.
"Alright, I'll come now," Melissa said as she rushed out of the study.
Throughout the banquet, Daniel and Xavier maintained some distance awake from Luke’s seat.
Bianca could guess that Luke must have done something to them.
The guests that sat at their table tried to curry favor with Luke but did not go overboard.
After the banquet, Luke took Bianca's hand and prepared to leave.
A servant came to him. Mr. Crawford, Sir is requesting your presence in the study." "Noted." Luke stopped walking and gently pinched Bianca's cheek. "Bea, will you wait for me in the living room?”
Bianca nodded. "Okay."
Luke was very familiar with the layout of the Tanner residence. He saw Bianca sit down on the couch and turned around to go upstairs.
When he stepped inside the study, Daniel and Xavier were already sitting on the couch waiting for him.
"This better be quick, Uncle Daniel." Luke already knew what they wanted, even when they had not said a word.
Seeing how calm and unfazed Luke was, Xavier threw a punch at Luke's face.
"Luke, you b*stard! I've already given you Bianca. What else do you want from me?"
Xavier might be an experienced brawler, but Luke was not a worse fighter than him.
He easily dodged the punch and countered with one of his own on Xavier's stomach.
"Ugh!" Xavier grunted.
Luke's two-year stint on the Island of Despair was not wasted.
Daniel instantly stood up and yelled, "What are you doing, Xavier?"
Luke had a lot of dirt on them. Daniel was forced to humble himself even though he was reluctant.
Xavier, on the other hand, was rash.
Luke's expression sank. "She was mine in the first place, Xavier. I'm the one who has three children with her. You should know why you managed to get your marriage license. The police can't do anything to you, but that doesn't mean I can't."
Those words of warning stung in Xavier's ear.
Xavier clenched his fists tightly. The veins on his forehead bulged.
Daniel held him down. "Yes, you're right, Luke. Let's not mention the past.
Please have a seat. Would you like some tea?"
Luke sat on the single couch, though he was not interested in the tea that Daniel offered him.
"Please be quick. My wife is waiting for me downstairs," Luke said.
Daniel decided to be direct, seeing that Luke repeated the same thing. "I've seen the document you gave me, Luke. I have to thank you for not handing it to the police, whether it's because Xavier is your cousin, or if you have some other motive."
Luke looked at the father and son and waited for them to continue.
Meanwhile, Daniel was beginning to feel anxious when he saw that Luke had no intention to speak.
The impetuous Xavier could not take it anymore and asked, "What do you want, Luke?" "You're still fantasizing about my wife, and I don't like that. If you leave the country, the document will never fall into the hands of the police," Luke told them his demands.
Xavier only had the option to leave because he was Luke’s cousin.
Otherwise, he would have already been long dead.
"You're going too far!" Xavier roared angrily.
Leaving the country would be like going into exile. He might be Daniel's only son in the household, but he knew that his father was a playboy, and he might have other illegitimate children waiting to replace Xavier.
Daniel also did not want Xavier to leave. After all, he was almost at the age of retirement, and he had to hand over the reins of the company to Xavier soon. novelbin
"We can talk about this, Luke. You don't have to force him to leave the country, right? You know that I only have one son."
