Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 911-Bianca, That Evil Woman, Shoved Riley
Luke's objective was for Xavier to stay away from Bianca. If Xavier did not want to leave the country, Luke had other options for him.
"Would you like him to spend some time inside then, Uncle Daniel?" His voice was cold, clearly not in the mood for negotiation.
"Please, no!" Daniel cried out in shock.
Xavier was indignant when he saw his father begging and groveling. He did not believe that Luke did not have any dirt. Luke got lucky in the corruption case; someone had taken the fall for him.
Perhaps he could find another one...
Luke folded his arms together. His diamond wedding ring shone brilliantly under the lamplight, which stung Xavier's eyes.
Daniel tugged Xavier's shirt sleeve in case his son acted rashly. "Xavier is almost going to be a father, Luke. After that girl gives birth to his child, he'll have to marry a daughter of the Lerches. Why would he harass your wife then?" "He can marry outside of the country." Luke stood up and headed toward the door.
If Xavier wanted to marry Melissa, he would not have impregnated the other girl. It was pathetic of Daniel to hope that the Tanners and the Lerches could be united by marriage.
Xavier clenched his fists and stood up when he saw that Luke was about to leave the room.
Daniel instantly held him down. "Stop it!" "Would you rather that I leave the country then?" Xavier's eyes were bloodshot. He was not going to suffer in another country.
Daniel had no other choice. He sighed when he saw Luke leave and close the door behind him. "What other choice do you have when he has dirt on you? Just do what he says for now. I'll enroll you in a college, and you can tell other people that you're furthering your studies." "I won't go." Xavier shoved his father away and left the room. He was not going to let Luke get his wish!
Luke went downstairs to the living room but did not see Bianca.
"Where is my wife?" He asked.
"I think I saw Mrs. Crawford go up the stairs earlier," the servant replied." Right. Madam invited Mrs. Crawford to the lounge for some tea."
Luke frowned. Why would Lacey invite Bianca for tea?
That was utterly ridiculous. He knew that everyone in the Tanner family hated Bianca to the bone.
Feeling worried about his wife, Luke turned around and headed upstairs.
Bianca was shocked by the stench of blood when she pushed the door to the lounge open.
Riley was sprawled in a pool of blood. She did not make a sound or movement. Evidently, she had already passed out.
Blood continued to flow, staining her white dress red. It was a shocking sight.
"Help!" Instinctively, Bianca turned around and yelled.
Lacey was already waiting in the room next door. When she heard Bianca’s voice, she rushed out of the room and shoved Bianca away. When she saw the unconscious Riley, she pointed at Bianca's face. "What did you do?"
Bianca was puzzled by the sudden accusation. She took a step back because the stench of blood was choking her.
"I didn't do anything. She was already like that when I opened the door," she said.
Bianca's cry for help attracted the attention of several people. Xavier rushed over and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Bianca was fine.
He was glad that she was not in danger.
"What are you doing, Mom?" Xavier held Lacey's hand. He was uneasy seeing Lacey pointing at Bianca's face.
Lacey grunted coldly when she saw that her son was still harboring Bianca.
"What did I do? I'd like to ask what that woman did!"
Luke came over, hugged Bianca in his arms, and glared at the mother and son. "Please tell me, Mrs. Tanner. What did my wife do?"
Considering that Riley was still unconscious, she was not in the mood to listen to them bicker. She tugged Luke's shirt sleeve and said, "Call the ambulance, Luke." "Are you hurt?" Xavier asked when he heard that.
Everyone felt awkward by his excessive concern toward Bianca. novelbin
Luke looked at Xavier unhappily. How dare that man covet Bianca in front of him?
Lacey shrieked, sounding a little disappointed. "That evil woman pushed Riley down, Xavier! Why are you so concerned about her? You're losing your child!"
Xavier glanced inside the lounge and noticed Riley lying in a puddle of blood. His child...
He quickly walked over and carried Riley in his arms.
"Call the ambulance." Xavier did not have much affection toward Riley. He kept her by his side because she looked like Bianca, and that she was bearing his child.
The surrounding servants came to their senses and called the ambulance.
Lacey grunted coldly. After the servant was done speaking to emergency services on the phone, she said, "Also, call the police!"
Bianca furrowed her brows.
Luke stood in front of her. "How dare you!"
His icy voice made Lacey shudder. However, she was determined to frame Bianca today. "Bianca harmed my grandchild. Why shouldn't I call the police?"
Bianca remained calm. She looked at Riley in Xavier's arms and said, "Why would I harm her?" "Because..." Lacey was at a loss for words. She could not possibly say that Bianca wanted to be together with Xavier.
No one would believe that.
"Your servant told me that you invited me for tea in the lounge. When I opened the door, I saw Ms. Riley lying in a pool of blood. I've never stepped into the lounge before. Why, Mrs. Tanner, do you really want to put me in jail that badly?"
Not only did Lacey want to put Bianca in jail, but she also wanted Bianca to die!
However, she could express that thought too openly. "Why would I invite you for tea? I'm already exhausted from the day's events. Do I look like I'm in the mood for tea?"
Bianca pointed at a servant. "She's the one who informed me."
Everyone turned to look at the servant. Luke did not say a word, but he already had a conclusion.
Lacey glared at the servant. "What's going on? Have I ever said that?"
The servant had been working in the Tanner household for several years, and she could tell what was going on. She shook her head and said, "You didn't say that, Madam. I was busy downstairs, and I didn't see you earlier." "So why would my wife say that you asked her to go to the lounge?" Luke said coldly. He believed in Bianca's innocence.
Someone must have caused Riley's miscarriage and lured Bianca to the lounge. They wanted to kill two birds with one stone.
The servant shuddered when her eyes met with Luke's sinister gaze. She bit her lip and insisted, "I didn't say that."
Lacey was relieved that her servant was smart. "Alright then. We'll let the police investigate this. Call the police!"
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 912-He Could Ensure That Bianca Was Safe From All Harm
The servant did not move.
She was caught between Lacey and Luke and did not know what to do.
The ambulance arrived shortly. Before Xavier carried Riley downstairs, he said, "Bianca isn't like that, Mom. The truth will be revealed once Riley wakes up."
Lacey was disappointed in her son. Why would he still be speaking up for Bianca when he was about to lose his child?
Her chest heaved with anger.
Seeing that the servant did not act, she took out her phone. "If you're not going to call the police, I will!"
Luke grasped her hand tightly and said sinisterly, "Think twice before you act, Mrs. Tanner."
Lacey was at the height of her anger. She wanted to pull her hand away, but she realized that she could not move her hand at all. The pain from her wrist caused her to tremble. "What are you doing? Are you threatening me?"
Bianca put her hands on Luke. "The truth will prevail. If you'd like to call the police, Mrs. Tanner, then please go ahead. However, if Ms. Riley wakes up and proves that I am innocent, I think you owe me an apology." "You..." Lacey's mind was racing.
No one should have seen Melissa commit the deed. How confident was she that she could pin it on Bianca?
The three people were caught in a standoff when Daniel came over. "What are you doing, you woman?"
Lacey immediately asked him for help. "Come and help me, Daniel. Bianca pushed Riley and doesn't admit it. I want to call the police."
Daniel was still worrying over Luke's threat. It was very stupid for Lacey to offend Luke.
"What's gotten into your head? Did you see it yourself?" He roared, then turned to apologize to Luke. "Your Aunt Lacey doesn't mean it, Luke. Can you forgive her?"
Luke loosened his grip and said coldly, "Please go ahead if you'd like to involve the police, Mrs. Tanner. There's something odd about this incident, and the police should conduct a thorough investigation." "Yes, I trust the police to do a good job," Bianca also said.
Daniel's back was already drenched in a cold sweat. He knew the implication in Luke's words.
If the police came to investigate, what If Luke told them about what Xavier had done?
Seeing that Lacey was about to dial 911, he hurriedly snatched the phone and said, "This isn't the time to get the police involved. We should follow Riley to the hospital to see that she is safe."
Xavier was only a couple of years younger than Luke. His parents were worried that he was not married yet. Daniel was not very satisfied with Riley's status, but he had been anticipating the child to be born.
Lacey did not know why Daniel was behaving like that; she thought that he was afraid of Luke. "Don't tell me that you're afraid of him, you coward! I want Bianca to spend the night in the lock-up!" She yelled.
Daniel delivered a heavy slap on Lacey's face. The phone fell on the floor and the screen shattered.
"How dare you slap me!" Lacey glared at Daniel and ground her teeth. "Are you crazy, Daniel Tanner? I've never been hit all my life! Very well. Looks like Bianca has managed to seduce you as well. I'll kill you today!"
The Tanner residence instantly descended into chaos.
Lacey grabbed a vase and hurled it at Daniel.
"You crazy woman!" Daniel did not back down.
"Sir, Madam, please stop fighting." The servants tried to break up the fight.
Luke watched all that impassively. He would make Lacey pay for what she said.
"Let's go home, Luke." Bianca was not in the mood to watch the farce.
"Mm." Luke was not planning to be the mediator. He hugged her waist and prepared to leave.
While they were walking out, Bianca suddenly said, "Luke, I think that Mrs.
Tanner will still call the police."
The entire incident was too suspicious. Riley was probably an innocent pawn in Lacey's scheme.
"No one will hurt you as long as I am here," Luke promised. It did not matter if Lacey called the police.
He could ensure that Bianca was safe from all harm.
"What do you think? Did Xavier arrange all that?" Bianca knew that someone was behind the incident, but she did not know who.
Xavier would be frightfully immoral if he were the mastermind.
After all, the baby in Riley's womb was his child too.
"Xavier was in the study when it happened." Luke was not in the mood to think about the incident. If he were pressed, he could think of several names on the top of his head.
For example, Lacey Foster.
The next day was Bianca's first self-defense lesson with Rain. She had to start from scratch because she did not have any experience at all.
A caretaker from the mansion came over and said politely, "Madam, you have a phone call from Crawford Manow." "Alright." Bianca guessed that it must have something to do with what happened yesterday.
She did not follow up with the developments of the incident after she and Luke left the Tanner residence. She did not know if Riley managed to save the baby.
Bianca informed Rain that she was taking a break and went to answer the call.
The call was from Allison. After Bianca said hello, Allison directly said," Come over to Crawford Manor."
Bianca shook her head helplessly as she listened to the busy tone.
Allison was not willing to utter an extra syllable to Bianca.
"What's wrong, Madam?" Rain was Luke's subordinate, and she was courteous toward Bianca.
"I'll have to go back to Crawford Manor for a bit. Sorry about the interruption, Sensei Rain." Bianca had been calling Rain "Sensei Rain" despite her objections.
After all, she was Rain's martial arts student.
"Alright. Should I tell Boss?" Rain asked.
"There's no need. I'm only going back to Crawford Manor and nowhere else. There won't be any danger." Bianca said as she went up the stairs.
In the bedroom, she changed her tracksuit into a long white dress.
Back at Crawford Manor, Bianca looked around the living room impassively and greeted each one of the people there.
The only one who replied was Old Master Crawford.
"You're here." Old Master Crawford sounded old. Bianca could not tell his emotions from his voice.
Bianca nodded at him. "Grandpa."
The other people in the living room included two police officers and Lacey, who had a bruised and swollen face.
"Well, Old Master Crawford? Can we have an explanation now?" Lacey wanted to blurt out in curses when she saw Bianca walk through the door.
Her husband would not have beaten her if not for that little b*tch.
She spent the entire night racking her brain but still could not figure out why Daniel stood on Bianca's side.
Did he have a crush on her?
"What do you have to say, Bea?" Old Master Crawford did not want to stand on anyone's side, though he wanted to hear what Bianca had to say.
"What is there to say? My poor grandchild is gone, and it's all thanks to that b*tch Bianca. Do you have a grudge against us, Bianca Rayne? Why must you harm us over and over again?" Lacey was not as aggressive as yesterday but instead played the victim. She wailed loudly while thumping her chest.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 913-Once Bianca Goes In, Don't Even Think of Coming Out
Bianca saw the bruises on Lacey's face. She indeed looks quite pathetic;
Daniel did not hold back at all.
She stood there and faced Lacey and the Crawford family. Even without Luke, she did not feel afraid. "If you want to know what happened, Ms.
Riley should know the best." "Riley lost too much blood, and she's still in a coma! You're the one who harmed her! You'll be the murderer if anything happens to her!" Lacey huffed. Then, she turned to the police officers. "The culprit is over there. Quick, arrest her!"
The police officers looked at each other. It was up to the patriarch of Crawford Manor if they were able to take Bianca away.
Old Master Crawford glanced at the two police officers with a profound gaze and spoke authoritatively. "Lacey, are you sure that you want my granddaughter-in-law arrested?"
Bianca was moved. The old man might not be fond of her, but he was willing to stand up for her.
Lacey was cowed by Old Master Crawford's tone of voice. She stood up and continued wailing in an ugly manner. "I'm here so that I can get an explanation. Don't tell me that you're harboring that little b*tch?
"You're so lucky, Old Master Crawford. You already have four greatgrandchildren, while I'm still waiting for my first grandchild. Thanks to Bianca, it's gone, and you're still harboring her. I might as well die..."
Bianca looked at the two police officers. "Is the case on record?"
The police officers nodded. "From the medical examination, the victim's back has signs of physical assault, which caused the miscarriage. It is considered criminal battery, and the police department has opened a case file the moment we received the report." "Am I a suspect?" Bianca asked.
She remembered seeing Riley sprawled on the floor the night before. If that were the case, someone must have hit her from the back.
The police dared not say that, so they spoke tactfully, "You were the one who discovered the victim. We'll need to record a statement."
Bianca chuckled coldly and looked at Lacey. "I'm not the person you should be looking for. Someone had deliberately injured Riley before I got there. However, I am willing to go to the police station to assist with the investigation."
The police officer breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that. They did not put her in handcuffs but instead escorted her courteously to the car.
Lacey grunted coldly when she saw that. She might seem sorrowful, but she was secretly laughing up her sleeve.
Once you go in there, don't ever dream of coming out!
'You ought to stay in prison forever, you menace!’
Old Master Crawford stood at the door and watched the police car leave." Inform Luke," he gave the order.
When Allison heard that, she said, "Luke is busy at work. You shouldn’t bother him with such trivial matters..." "So should I bother you instead?" Old Master Crawford was no fool; he knew how much Allison hated Bianca. "Why aren't you on your granddaughter-in-law's side? Do you think you can be of
any help here?" "Are you blaming me, Father? I'm not the one who caused Riley’s miscarriage. Why should I help Bianca when she's in the wrong?" Allison and Lacey exchanged glances at each other. ‘I think Luke ought to divorce Bianca. She only brings bad luck to Luke and the family. If the media gets wind of this, T Corporation's share prices will fall again!" "Shut up!" Old Master Crawford could only find Allison's incessant chattering extremely irritating.
Allison spoke no further. No one in Crawford Manor dared to go against Old Master Crawford's wishes.
Seeing that she had achieved what she wanted, Lacey cleared her throat and said, "The police will get to the bottom of this, and I'll be leaving. My poor grandchild, why does he have to leave the world before he gets the chance to see it? Boo hoo hoo..."
She walked out of the door while crying.
She stopped her fake crying after she got into the car. She massaged her face, which carried a vicious expression.
After catching her breath, she took out her phone and gave a call to Melissa.
"The police brought Bianca away. It's up to you now, Melissa. Don't disappoint me." Her reflection in the rear-view mirror showed her vicious gaze.
"Don't worry, Aunt Lacey. Now that Bianca is inside, she won't get out that easily," Melissa said cheerfully.
"Don't forget that Luke Crawford is behind her," Lacey reminded her. She was not as optimistic.
"I know. I'll go and make arrangements now." After the call ended, Melissa mumbled to herself, "So what if Luke is behind her? As long as that little b* tch doesn't wake up and no one testifies for Bianca, she'll have to go to prison."
She dialed another number on her phone.
Riley lay unconscious on a bed in the hospital. Her face was pale, and she wore an oxygen mask.
Only a nurse was in the room with her.
After the nurse received Melissa's call, her gaze turned cold. She took out a syringe from a drawer and glanced at the IV drip bottle. "I'm only doing my job. You only have yourself to blame."
She knocked on the IV drip bottle and prepared to insert the contents of the syringe into it. Right at that moment, a figure dashed into the ward and delivered a karate chop on the back of the nurse's neck.
The nurse passed out, and the syringe fell on the floor.
Bianca remained in the police station for some time.
At first, several police officers came to record her statement. She gave her statement a few times, and the police officers asked the same questions.
Bianca told them what she remembered at the scene, though her statement did not seem to be of much help.
Later, only a female police officer guarded her in the room.
Bianca was not in a rush anyway. She closed her eyes and rested.
At noon, the door to the questioning room was opened, and a police officer came in. "You may leave now, Mrs. Crawford."
Bianca opened her eyes. "Did Ms. Riley wake up?" "No." The police officer shook his head. "Mr. Crawford and his lawyer came to bail you out." 'Luke...'
Bianca felt warm in her heart, though she was also worried.
'Does that mean that Riley hasn't woken up yet?
'She suffered a miscarriage. Even if she lost a lot of blood, she wouldn't have been unconscious for so long.'
As she stepped out of the questioning room, she saw Luke waiting for her not far away.
"Luke," she called out softly. Her eyes were full of grievances.
Luke walked over and hugged her gently. "Did they bully you?" He asked in a low voice.
Bianca shook her head.
With him behind her, no one in the police station dared to bully her.
Bianca had been thinking a lot. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she got. She understood that many people in the world bore ill will against her, and she had been careful no matter what she did.
However, she forgot what Luke told her while at the Tanner residence.
When the servant came to invite her to the lounge, she could have declined and waited for Luke to come back to her.
She considered that Lacey was Luke's aunt, and that she might be able to relieve the tension between the two families if she sat down and talked to her.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 914-You Only Have to Remember That I Love You
That mistake allowed Lacey to frame her.
"I'm sorry, Luke." She apologized for her mistake.
If she had remembered what Luke told her, she would not have gone upstairs to the lounge, and none of this would have happened.
Luke sighed and hugged her tightly. "I don't blame you, Bea. Let's go home.
The children are worried about you."
The couple left the police station.
Several reporters were standing outside of the police station. News that Bianca was brought to the police station for questioning had spread throughout A City.
The reporters swarmed up to Luke and Bianca when they saw them come out of the exit. "Mrs. Crawford, is it true that you have deliberately harmed a pregnant woman?" "Mrs. Crawford, it is said that the pregnant woman is your ex-husband's lover. Did you harm her out of revenge or spite?" "Mr. Crawford, how do you view what your wife did? Are you planning to divorce her to cut all ties with her?"
The reporters' questions got more and more ridiculous.
Luke glanced at the situation around him coldly. The police and Sean protected them, so they got to their car.
Jason was sitting in the side passenger seat.
Bianca looked out of the window. The reporters were crowding on the road like zombies just to get the latest scoop.
"Who told the media?" She asked worriedly.
"Someone with a plot." Luke did not go into the details. He glanced at the group of reporters behind him and told Jason, "Get the media to shut up."
Jason nodded awkwardly as he scrolled on his tablet. "People are already making up stories online, Boss." "Suppress it," Luke said.
Bianca was wracked by guilt. She leaned against her seat and said in frustration, "I'm so stupid to be deceived again."
If the news continued to spread, not only she would be affected, but also the Crawfords and T Corporation...
"That's not going to be enough to bring me down," Luke said determinedly as he hugged her waist.
Bianca sighed. "I hope that Ms. Riley will wake up soon. She might be attacked from the back, but she should recognize who her attacker was."
Luke did not say anything but hugged her tightly.
Bianca rested her head on his chest and listened to his steady heartbeat.
His muscular chest was her support through tough times.
"Sigh, I've caused trouble for Luke again."
Bianca watched as Jason made phone calls to the various media outlets and asked, "Why isnt Ms. Riley awake yet?" "Her body is weak, and the curettage procedure took a great toll on her. That's why
she's still unconscious," Luke replied.
Bianca was surprised. How did Luke know that?"
Luke continued to explain to her, "Xavier hired a nurse to take care of Riley, but the nurse was bought over by those people with a plot. When Gale arrived at the hospital, the nurse was injecting something."
His tone of voice was casual, but that caused Bianca to sweat in fright.
She had naively expected that Riley would eventually wake up and prove her innocence, but she did not expect that those people did not want Riley to wake up at all!
If Riley died, she would have become a murderer. No matter how influential Luke was, she would be held culpable if no one else could prove her innocence, which meant that she would not be freed either.
"So, Ms. Riley is..." Bianca was worried that Riley might die.
"Don't worry, Gale has kept her in a safe place and has subdued the nurse. Johann has analyzed the contents of the syringe. It's a drug that could instantly stop someone from breathing." Luke had an ominous premonition when he was told that Bianca was brought to the police station, which was why he got Gale to go to the hospital.
He had to handle the situation at the hospital, which meant that Bianca had to stay in the police station for longer.
He held her fair and tender hand and brought it close to his lips. He kissed it gently and apologized to her, "Sorry for making you wait in the police station, Bea." "You did nothing wrong. I'm the one who's at fault. I should've listened to what you said..." Bianca understood that there was a reason he was delayed.
If not for his warning, she would have to prepare to spend the rest of her life in prison.
Luke gently tapped her lips with his finger to stop her from continuing the sentence.
He knew that Bianca went to the lounge because she was concerned about him.
Bianca was not the one at fault.
However, many black-hearted people existed in the world. They would not hesitate to harm others to achieve their own desires and ambitions.
He wondered who it was this time that harmed his wife to achieve their nefarious goals.
Bianca pressed her lips together. She had brought him trouble yet again, but he did not complain about it at all. There was nothing more that she would ask from her husband.
"I'll remember every word that you say, Luke." She turned her head and looked into his eyes.
Luke smiled gently. "You only have to remember that I love you."
Sean and Jason had been listening to what their boss was saying to Bianca. They thought that their previously aloof boss had been more humane after he was reunited with Bianca. Even so, those cheesy lines made them feel awkward.
Melissa was about to pop a bottle of red wine to celebrate when she received a phone call from a mysterious person. Her smile instantly vanished, and she yelled out loud, "What did you promise me, you useless fool?"
The person on the other end of the call tried to explain, "Perhaps the situation isn't as bad as you imagine it, Ms. Lerche." "What do you mean? How could someone unconscious disappear all of a sudden? I'll be finished if that b*tch wakes up! Where did the nurse go?
What's going on?" Melissa tore off her face mask and supported herself with the wall.
She was the one who had pushed Riley from the back. Riley managed to grab onto a table and did not fall, so she kicked her twice.
Riley turned around and saw her face.
At that moment, Melissa realized that she had to knock her out and find someone to kill her so that she could successfully shift the blame to Bianca.
However, her plan had failed at the most crucial point.
"The... the nurse is also missing," the person on the other end of the phone stammered.
"What?" Melissa realized that something was amiss. She paced around her room uneasily. "When I gave you the money, didn't you promise me that the little b*tch will die? Did she manage to inject the syringe?"
Riley could not wake up. If she did, Melissa would be the one in prison.
"We've been trying our best to contact her, Ms. Lerche. Only she knows what happened. Don't worry, our assassins are all world-class, and they'll be able to finish the job," the person on the other end of the phone gave their promise.
"World-class? If she's so world-class, she'd make sure that the little b*tch is dead instead of going missing! Let me tell you, you'll have to deal with her for me. Otherwise, you won't see a cent out of this. Also, don't think that your organization is safe either!" Melissa threatened the other person out of anger!
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 915-Luke Could Always Find a Way to Relieve Her of Her Negative Emotions
The other person on the end of the phone became annoyed when they heard Melissa's threat. They were assassins, not menial workers!
"Ms. Lerche, according to your job description, it was supposed to be an easy hit. Now that our assassin has gone missing, it shows that the job isn't as easy as you first described it. The money that you gave us is not enough to compensate us for losing the assassin." "You want to talk money with me? If you can't settle this issue satisfactorily, you'll see what's coming!" Melissa shrieked. She was livid about Riley's disappearance, and she had forgotten that she was talking to an assassin organization.
She might be the client, but she would be the target if necessary.
The assassin chuckled and replied, "Naive woman!"
Melissa flung her phone at the wall out of anger.
Crash! The phone was smashed into bits, and the call was cut off.
Melissa dashed out of her room and yelled, "Where is the driver? Bring me to the hospital now!"
She arrived at the hospital in an hour.
The hospital staff did not divulge any information about Riley no matter what Melissa asked. It was as though someone was deliberately withholding information.
Without any other option, Melissa had to go to Lacey again.
The news that Bianca was taken away by the police spread quickly throughout A City. Several reporters appeared at the usually peaceful mansion.
The black Land Rover stopped at a distance and surveyed the situation in front of the mansion. novelbin
"What should we do, Boss?" Sean asked.
"Go in from the back entrance, and bring the children to the other mansion for now." Luke's expression was cold. He had already thought of a plan.
Bianca sighed. The reporters that camped at the front gate had disturbed their regular life.
"Don't worry." Luke caressed her petite face, and Bianca felt the warmth spread all over her body.
Luke always found a way to relieve her of her negative emotions.
It was true in the past, and it was also true now.
Bianca forced a smile on her face.
She had brought trouble to him and the children.
She wondered what Lanie and Rainie thought about her.
Sean took the long way and went into the mansion through the back entrance.
Luke had already prepared the children. When the car stopped, the caretaker came out of the house with the three children. Lanie and Rainie each dragged a small suitcase behind them, while Tommy carried a backpack.
The family of five got into a car and left the mansion.
Tommy leaned on Bianca and looked at her curiously. "Many people were in front of the house earlier. Mrs. Solano said that we shouldn't let them in because they're all bad people. Is that true?"
Bianca picked him up and placed him on her lap. "They're only doing their job." She did not want to criticize the reporters.
Tommy did not look like he understood, but Lanie did. "Daddy said that we shouldn't disturb other people’s daily lives even though we're working. They're not doing the right thing, Mommy," he said coolly.
Bianca was impressed by her son's opinion. Indeed, Luke had been a good educator to his children.
She nodded. "You're right, Lanie."
The twins had found out what happened from the news on television, and they glanced at each other. Rainie hopped off her seat and clung to her mother. "Mommy, Lanie and I believe that you're innocent."
Tommy did not know what was going on, but he did not want to be left behind. "I believe in you too, Mommy!" He shouted.
Bianca was moved. She was worried that her children might be negatively affected by what happened, but what they said let her know that she had nothing to worry about.
Luke took out three bottles of yogurt drink from the mini-fridge in the car, then poured Bianca a glass of fruit juice.
"You didn't eat or drink in the police station. Have something to drink for now. We're still an hour's drive away from the other mansion in the countryside."
Bianca took the glass, though she was worried about him and the children. "It's not very convenient, isn't it?" "Don't worry, we have a driver. I've already applied for extended leave for Lanie and Rainie."
Luke glanced at his phone and saw a message from Johann. "Also, Riley should be awake by now."
Riley's vitals were stable. She should be awake by tomorrow.
"If that's the case... Sue is managing the company in my absence. I'd like to go to the hospital tomorrow." Bianca did not plan to visit Riley. She would rather stay away from anyone related to the Tanner family.
However, her future depended on Riley's survival.
She thought that Riley deserved pity.
Riley had lost her child, and her body was harmed. Bianca remembered the time when she gave birth at eighteen years old. She seemed to have lost an irreplaceable part of her body.
"Mm, the driver will send you there tomorrow." Luke did not object.
The family of five arrived at the other mansion an hour later.
The other mansion was a two-story building. It was smaller than their previous mansion, but it was built in a unique style.
The children cheered and went to pick their rooms.
Luke and Bianca carried the luggage into the mansion.
"Not bad." The furnishings of the other mansion was in a European pastoral style. Bianca felt at ease.
Luke put the children's luggage down and said, "I bought this mansion when Rainie and Lanie were younger because they wanted to go on weekend vacations. I had been busy, and I never found the chance to bring them here. This place has been left vacant for the past few years."
Bianca smiled when she saw the toys in a corner of the mansion. She liked the style of the furnishings.
Luke might be very busy with work, but he always cared for the kids.
"My wife." Luke hugged Bianca's waist. He was obsessed with how slender and flexible it was.
She placed the weight of her entire body on Luke's chest. "Mm?"
Luke lowered his head, planted a kiss on her neck, and gently nibbled the skin to leave a mark, which caused Bianca to grunt softly. "We should bring the children here once every two weeks. There's a fishing pond nearby, and the garden is full of vegetables. They can experience pastoral life here."
Bianca was interested in that idea. She sometimes found the bustle of A City tiring. It was great to be able to retreat to a more relaxing lifestyle once in a while.
"Alright," she smiled and replied. Her eyes were brimming with bliss.
"Let's go upstairs and take a look. I've prepared everything that you and the children need." Luke walked upstairs while hugging her waist.
"Why do the kids need to bring their luggage then?" Bianca asked curiously.
"I told them to bring their most prized possessions with them," Luke explained.
Bianca could not help but chuckle. On the second floor, she saw Tommy standing there, holding the caretaker's hand and swaying from side to side.
"Mommy!" Tommy let go of the caretaker, walked up to Bianca, and hugged her thigh.

"What's wrong?" Bianca lowered her head and looked at Tommy. His round face was full of grievances as though someone had treated him unfairly.
Tommy hugged her leg tightly and complained, "Mrs. Solana says that I can't sleep with you."
The caretaker felt helpless when she heard the little boy say that, but she did not want to be too agitated in front of Luke.
Bianca patted Tommy's head. Before she could say anything, Luke said," Tommy, do you remember what I told you?"
Tommy turned his head and looked at him. He thought for a long while before saying, "You said that I'm a big boy now!" "And you need to learn to be independent,” Luke added the second half of the sentence that Tommy forgot. He bent over, patted Tommy’s head, and picked him up. "That's why you should pick a room that you like and don't always cling to your Mommy."
Tommy blinked innocently and reflected upon what his father told him.
Eventually, Tommy compromised and jumped onto the floor. "Alright, I'll pick the room next to Lanie's!" "Mm." Luke nodded.
The caretaker held Tommy's hand and led him to the bedroom.
Soon, Sean came upstairs with Lanie and Rainie's backpacks.
Bianca smiled at Luke. “The caretaker will be very busy unpacking for the children. Let me help her."
Luke had hired a cleaner to clean the mansion periodically. Without a live- in caretaker, the beds remained undone.
"Alright."
Bianca helped Rainie put on the bed sheet.
She opened the closet and could not help but smile when she found a set of pink bed sheets inside. Luke knew what Rainie's favorite color was.
She unfolded the bedsheet and placed it on the bed.
"Let me help you, Mommy," Rainie said.
"Good girl." They fitted the bedsheet, then prepared the pillows and blanket.
Rainie looked at her mother busy at work and was slightly confused. Her Mommy was so kind, so why did other people want to ruin her reputation?
"Mommy..." Curiosity eventually overcame Rainie.
Bianca turned her head and looked at her daughter. "Yes, my dear?" "Why do people want to harm you?" Rainie asked the question that had been troubling her. This incident, as well as the previous abduction, had affected her greatly.
Bianca's heart softened. She hugged Rainie.
"I don't know either." She smiled gently. Perhaps life was fair like that. After giving her a loving husband and a happy family, fate threw a few obstacles in her way.
Rainie rested her head on her mother's chest. ”1 think those people are evil. You're the best Mommy in the world, and you love Daddy and us. Why must they do that to you?" "We can't control what other
people do to us, Rainie. What we can control is how we deal with it. As long as we remain true to ourselves, they won't be able to hurt us," Bianca patiently explained to Rainie, hoping that it will alleviate the little girl's worries.
Rainie was still young, and she should not carry too many negative emotions.
"Mm." Rainie sniffed, and the worry in her eyes went away. "Let's make the bed and go and help Lanie and Tommy." "Alright." Bianca ruffled her hair. Rainie was so considerate.
After helping out the kids, she saw Luke standing on the balcony, talking on the phone with someone.
She did not go near him. Instead, she looked at him from afar.
Luke turned around to look at her and said to Old Master Crawford on the other end of the phone, "It should be settled by tomorrow.”
Old Master Crawford trusted his grandson. He had found out the details behind the incident.
"Tell Bianca not to be so careless next time so that she doesn't get into trouble again," he added.
If Bianca were not so trusting, she would not have been involved in the incident.
"She doesn't go around looking for trouble, Grandfather. On the other hand, some people need a lesson," Luke said and ended the call.
The Tanners must be behind the incident.
However, he could not tell if it was Xavier, Daniel, or Lacey.
Luke entered the house.
Bianca took his hand. The back of his phone was hot; he was on the call for a very longtime.
"Who is it?" "It's Grandfather. He was asking about the situation." Luke put the phone in his pocket and took her hand again. "Are you still busy with settling in?" "It's only a few beds. That's not too much trouble." Bianca held his hand and sat down on the couch. "What else did Grandpa say?" "Nothing." Luke did not plan to tell her what Old Master Crawford said.
He had been attracted by Bianca's innocence, and he would protect her no matter how difficult things might be.
Bianca knew that Luke was hiding something from her, but she did not ask any more questions.
Queenie gave Bianca a call that night.
"I just saw the news, Bea. What's going on? Why were you taken to the police station?" Queenie sounded worried. Jack and she had not been keeping up with the news for the entire day. They would still be oblivious to what happened to their daughter if they had not turned on the television.
Queenie could not remain calm, and that was why she called Bianca.
"I'm fine, Mom. I was there to record a statement." Bianca smiled and rested her head on Luke's shoulder.
He was working, and Bianca tried to learn something from him.
"Are you sure that you're fine? The report was very exaggerated. Remember that we are here for you, Bea. You don't have to keep everything to yourself. Just tell us when you need our help, alright?" Queenie said worriedly. She had felt guilty for not taking care of Bianca during her formative years.
They wanted to extend their help to T Corporation, but Jack was in a sensitive position, and there was not much that they could do.
Bianca looked at Luke. He was focused on processing some documents from the company.
She smiled sweetly, put on her slippers, and left the study so that she did not disturb Luke.
"I'm really fine, Mom. You shouldn’t trust the articles they write on the Internet. It's full of speculation and misinformation," Bianca said," Moreover, I have Luke behind me. You have nothing to worry about."
Queenie put the call on speaker, and Jack heard what Bianca said. "Both your mom and I don't believe that you'd do something like that. It's just that the news has gotten out of hand, and the police will be pressured into action. You'll have to be careful of that. If you ever get in trouble, you can give me a call. I have people I know in the police department." "Thank you, Dad. You don't have to worry. Everything will be resolved by tomorrow." Bianca sounded like she was sobbing. It was not a major incident, and she had not planned on bothering anyone.
"Alright, but you also have to promise us that you'll tell us the moment something like this happens to you. Don't keep it to yourself, alright?" Queenie was slightly relieved when she heard that her daughter remained determined and optimistic.
Bianca replied in the affirmative once more. After the call ended, she sent a message to her aunt to briefly explain the situation and tell her that there was nothing to worry about.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 917-Bianca Only Wanted to Be With Luke Forever
After Bianca put her phone away, she felt Luke hug her from behind.
"My wife." Luke's voice was cloying. He hugged her tightly as though intending to fuse her body with his.
Bianca felt the firm hug from behind and casually placed her hands on his back. "Are you done with your work?" She said, feeling quite carefree.
"Not yet. What did Dad and Mom say?" Luke asked curiously.
He placed his chin on her hair and took in the fragrance of shampoo. Her unique body scent always refreshed him.
Bianca smiled gently, turned around, and hugged his muscular waist.
Luke's profound eyes were sparkling brighter than the stars in the night sky. She could see her reflection in those eyes.
"They said that I should tell them if I need any help, but I told them not to worry because I have you beside me." Bianca leaned on his chest. The warmth on her cheek was like a volcano.
Luke could hear the trust in her voice, which aroused him greatly. He bent over and picked her up.
"Ah, Luke!" Bianca suddenly felt her feet leave the ground, and she reflexively hugged Luke's neck.
"It’s getting late, Bea. Let's rest." Luke brought her into the bedroom.
Luke placed Bianca on the bed. Before she could catch her breath, Luke leaned on her body and locked her in his embrace.
Bianca dared not move a muscle when she smelled the masculine hormones emanating from Luke's handsome face. "Didn't you say that we're resting, Luke? If you're not tired, you can continue working, and I can accompany you..." She pretended to be oblivious.
Luke was not going to put his entire body weight on her delicate body. He placed his hands next to her, which caused the bed to sink. She had some wiggle room, but she could not escape.
He lowered his head and took in her breath. "Rest."
Bianca opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Luke's lips covered her mouth.
"Mmm..." With her lips sealed, she could not voice out her protests.
Luke kissed her passionately and enjoyed her sweetness.
Bianca had drunk a glass of milk before going into the study.
He could taste the milk in her mouth, which further aroused his curiosity about exploring her oral cavity.
The temperature in the bedroom continued to rise. Bianca felt as though she was softening in his arms and melting on the bed.
His gentleness had always caused her to submit willingly.
Luke's actions were like a spark that lit up Bianca's desires.
Her eyes were unfocused, and she eventually surrendered her will to him. She did not care if he still had work or if she had to wake up early tomorrow.
She moaned gently as she hugged the man tightly. The only thought left in her mind was to be with that man forever.
Bianca woke up early the next morning, but she could not get up because her body was sore all over.
Her body flipped over, which woke up Luke. He hugged her tightly and brought her body close. "Good morning, Bea."
Bianca was tickled by his beard stubble. She laughed and tried to dodge." Good morning, let go of me!"
Luke narrowed his gaze but did not let go. "It's still early. Sleep with me for a while more." "It's not early. Rainie and Lanie will wake up in half an hour, and I'll have to prepare breakfast for them." Bianca had been thinking about that. There was no live-in caretaker in the mansion, so she had to do the cooking.
The children did not have to go to school, but they were used to waking up early. As their mother, Bianca would not let them starve.
Luke continued to kiss her.
Bianca was tickled by his beard stubble and thin lips. "That's enough!" She said while laughing and trying to dodge.
Luke stopped and looked at her in satisfaction. "Bea..." "Alright, I really have to get up. It's still early, so you should rest for a while more." Bianca glanced at the time. If she did not get up and make breakfast, Rainie and Lanie would have to wait.
Moreover, Luke had to go to work.
As the CEO of T Corporation, Luke was almost never late for work.
Seeing that Bianca insisted on getting up, he also got up. "I don't feel like sleeping if you're not next to me. I'll help you with breakfast." "There's no need. You can prepare for work." Bianca walked next to him and pecked him on the cheek.
Luke brought her chin closer to intensify the kiss.
Bianca smiled, took a step back, and raised a finger to warn him. "Don't go overboard, Luke!" "Naughty girl," Luke said helplessly. That gentle kiss was enough to arouse him.
After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she went downstairs and prepared to make breakfast.
It was supposed to be a temporary stay, and there were not many ingredients. Bianca looked at the eggs and spaghetti and thought for a while.
Rainie and Lanie were not picky eaters, so the eggs and spaghetti were enough to satisfy them. On the other hand, Tommy was a picky eater, and he would expect more at breakfast.
Bianca remembered that there was a small vegetable farm in the backyard, and a gardener would often tend to it. She took a basket to the backyard and picked some ripe tomatoes. She would use the tomatoes to make a sauce.
She also picked two zucchinis before returning to the mansion.
Bianca made five plates of spaghetti with tomato and zucchini sauce and squeezed some fresh fruit juice for the children.
After she was done, she was about to go upstairs to get the children to come down when she saw Luke and the children coming down the stairs.
Rainie and Lanie were in good spirits, but Tommy looked sleep-deprived.
He reached out to Bianca when he saw her. "Mommy..."
Luke picked him up. "Mommy is tired. Don't bother her."
Tommy looked at Bianca with his sleep-deprived eyes and thought that she did not look tired.
Bianca thought that Luke was referring to what they were doing in bed yesterday. She blushed suspiciously and did not say a word.
"Good morning, Mommy." "Good morning, Mommy."
Rainie and Lanie greeted their mother.
Bianca patted their heads and said, "Good morning. Breakfast is ready."
The family of five went to the dining hall.
Bianca set up a children's dining chair for Tommy while Luke placed him on it.
"There aren't many ingredients, so I made some spaghetti. We'll have a heavier lunch in the afternoon." She handed the three children a plate of spaghetti each.
Breakfast at the mansion was usually a lot heavier. The breakfast they were having now was a lot simpler.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 918-Who Was the One Who Harmed You?
Tommy slurped a mouthful of spaghetti and smiled. "It's delicious, Mommy!
Bianca wiped the tomato sauce from his face with a napkin. "Here, have some juice." "I love you, Mommy," Tommy gave Bianca a flying kiss after his mouth was clean.
Bianca's heart softened. Seeing that her kids were happy, she felt as though she could weather through any storm.
Luke and she would maintain the happiness of this family.
After the caretaker clocked in for work, Bianca changed into casual clothes, put on a mask and sunglasses, and left the mansion.
The reporters scrutinized every one of her actions. She had to keep herself in disguise.
Sean brought her to the hospital.
The car stopped, and Gale came over to open the door. "Good morning, Madam," he greeted Bianca.
"Good morning." Bianca lowered the brim of her hat in case someone recognized her.
The news had continued to spread throughout the night.
If someone recognized Bianca, they would say that she was a murderer.
The power of mass media came from harnessing public anger and curiosity.
“This way, please." Gale led the way and walked in front of her.
Bianca and Gale did not go toward the elevator lobby. Instead, they went into a secret entrance.
The entrance was specially built for celebrities and other influential figures.
'Luke is spending a lot of effort in keeping Ms. Riley safe,' Bianca thought.
Gale brought Bianca into the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor.
"Riley is on the top floor?" "Yes," Gale replied. He received a message through his Bluetooth earpiece informing him about the situation upstairs.
Gale continued, "Riley is already awake. Dr. Johann is giving her an examination now." "Alright." Bianca and Gale stepped out of the elevator.
Riley’s ward was on the right of the corridor. Two bodyguards dressed in black suits were standing outside the door like guardian angels.
They turned their heads and greeted Bianca when they saw her. "Good morning, Madam."
Bianca nodded at them.
After Gale opened the door, Bianca could hear Riley crying. "Please, Doctor, return my child to me."
Johann read Riley's health report, seemingly immune to such pleadings." Sorry, we didn't manage to save your child. However, you can still be pregnant if you take care of your health."
Bianca entered the ward and saw that Riley was crying pathetically." Everything was going fine. Why did you take my baby away?"
Johann nodded and put the report away. "The patient's condition is stable, but she isn't in control of her emotions. We should get a nurse to give her a dose of tranquilizer." "Thank you," Bianca said and went close to the bed.
Riley seemed to have found her savior when she saw Bianca. "Please take me out of here, Mrs. Crawford. I want to meet Xavier."
She found herself imprisoned in the ward the moment she woke up. None of the people were willing to give her answers.
The child was no more. She had to find Xavier for an explanation!
"Are you sure?" Bianca kept a safe distance from her, seeing that her face was pale.
"Of course!" Riley noticed that the man standing next to Bianca was dressed the same as the bodyguards in the ward. She seemed to have thought of something and looked at Bianca suspiciously. "Are you holding me captive here?" "I'm not holding you captive. After the curettage procedure, you were unconscious for two days. Someone tried to poison you so that you would never wake up, and Luke, my husband, got someone to protect you." Bianca told her the truth.
She could see that Riley wanted Xavier's protection.
However, Luke had told Bianca that Xavier had left the hospital after bringing Riley to the hospital and paying the bill. He did not even wait for the results of the operation.
"That's not possible! There are laws in this country. You must be lying to be. You must be jealous that Xavier loves me. That's why you keep her locked up here so that he can't visit me.” Riley's eyes widened drastically, and her expression turned savage.
Bianca took two steps back and sat on the couch. She glanced at Gale and wondered if she should tell Riley that Xavier had never visited her for the past two days.
"Do you remember how you lost the child?" She asked.
Riley's body stiffened!
She might be unconscious for two days, but her memories were fresh in her mind.
After the banquet, the servant had told Riley that Lacey was inviting her to the lounge to discuss something. She did not want to go at first, but the servant had wished her "Congratulations," which made her think that Lacey had finally recognized her relationship with Xavier.
She could not find where Xavier was and went directly to the lounge.
There was no one in the lounge. While waiting inside, Riley felt someone pushing her from behind. She stumbled and managed to grab onto the table before she fell.
She turned around and saw Melissa Lerche, Xavier's ex-fiancee.
She wanted to run away, but her pregnancy caused her to be clumsy. After Melissa pushed her on the floor, she punched and kicked her until she lost consciousness.
Melissa was the one who killed her child!
Riley grabbed the bedsheets, and her expression turned sinister. How she wished she could tear Melissa into pieces to avenge her dead child!
"Who was the one who harmed you?" Bianca asked.
Riley did not answer.
She had no need of telling Bianca the truth. She thought that Xavier would avenge her baby if she told him about it.
The man might be temperamental at times, but he seemed quite caring to the baby in her womb.
Bianca knew that Riley was thinking of something. She could have let Riley keep her secret, but she could not afford to do so.
It was vital that Riley cooperated with her.
Bianca's expression turned cold as she tried to provoke Riley. "Do you think that Xavier will protect you? After bringing you to the hospital, he turned around and left. We're keeping you safe here, and the public thinks that you have disappeared. Xavier didn't show up even after finding out about that." "That's not possible. You're lying!" Riley's body trembled in disbelief.
Gale took out a phone and placed it next to her. "This is your phone. I've been taking care of it ever since I received the order to protect you, and I've kept its battery full. Xavier did not call you. Also, there are two videos in your camera roll that you might find interesting. Take a look." "All of you are liars! You must have tampered with my phone!" Riley felt her throat tighten. She could not believe that it was true.
The baby belonged to Xavier. He could not have been that merciless.
Bianca forced her to face the truth. "I have no interest in Xavier at all, Ms. Riley. If you think that we're lying to you, how about watching the two videos before making that conclusion?"
Riley struggled internally for a while before picking up her phone with trembling hands and playing the video.
The first video showed a woman who was tied up. Her body was filled with injuries, and she was unresponsive to the question from her interrogator.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 919-She Loved Xavier, but He Did This to Her...
"Who is this?" Riley asked.
"Allegedly, she's supposed to be the nurse that Xavier hired to take care of you, but she's actually an assassin. She was going to inject a drug into your body to make your heart stop, but we've managed to subdue her in time." "Xavier sent her here?" Riley felt a sudden pang of anxiety, and tears fell from her eyes.
She loved Xavier, but he had tried to...
Bianca shook her head. If Xavier did not want the baby, he would have already forced Riley to abort it in the first three months of the pregnancy." That's not necessarily the case. Maybe the person who harmed you had arranged for the assassin."
Riley did not say anything. She flicked her finger and played the second video.
In the video, Xavier was sitting in a nightclub drinking liquor.
Riley could not see his expression clearly, but she could see that he was flanked by two women, and they were performing lewd acts.
Looking at the details of the video, it was shot only yesterday.
Riley could not believe it. She hurled the phone against the wall. "That's all fake! You're lying to me!
"That can't be true! That can't be true!" She yelled hysterically while covering her head. Her eyes were opened round and wide as she glared at Bianca.
Bianca stood up and ordered Gale, "Get the nurse." "Yes." Gale pressed a buzzer to inform the nurse to inject Riley with tranquilizers.
"All of you are liars. Xavier loves me very, very much. He should be trying to look for me now. No, I can't stay here!" Riley pulled the IV needle and blood spurted out from her vein. She continued to try to get out of bed as though the blood did not bother her.
The two bodyguards stepped up and stopped her from leaving.
"Get lost! All of you!" Riley punched and slapped them, but they did not move.
She opened her mouth and bit a bodyguard's hand.
The bodyguard pushed her away, though she managed to rip a piece of flesh off the back of the bodyguard's hand.
Bianca frowned hard. Riley was not in the right mental condition to tell the truth to the police.
She could only feel that it was incredibly annoying.
Riley spat out the flesh in her mouth, sat up, and continued to attack the bodyguards. She did not look like she had suffered from a miscarriage.
The nurse was shocked when she walked in.
"Why are you still standing there? Give her the injection now!" Even Gale was shocked by Riley's ferocity.
He realized that a woman who had lost her mind was ten thousand times stronger than any man.
The bodyguards were ordered to protect her, and they dared not injure her. They could only stop her from inflicting more damage upon them.
The nurse came to her senses and filled a syringe with the tranquilizer.
Riley pressed her back against the headboard when she saw the nurse come near. "I’m not taking any injections. You're the ones who are harming me. Don't come any closer." "Hold her down," Gale ordered.
The bodyguards stepped up and pinned Riley’s limbs.
At that moment, Riley seemed to have gone crazy again. She tried to claw the bodyguards' faces with her fingernails.
"You're the ones who took my baby away! I'll kill all of you!"
With the bodyguards' help, the nurse managed to inject the tranquilizer into Riley's body.
A while later, Riley calmed down with a dull expression on her face.
Gale breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the bodyguard place Riley back on the bed. "Luckily Johann thought about that. How long will the tranquilizer last?" "It'll last for the rest of the day," the nurse answered as she disinfected the wound and reapplied the IV needle.
Bianca sighed. She did not expect Riley to lose her mind.
Riley had placed too much trust in Xavier.
"You should tend to your injuries," Bianca told the bodyguard whose hand was bitten.
"Thank you, Madam." The bodyguard left with the nurse.
"What should we do now, Madam?" Gale seemed worried.
Luke wanted the police to come and take Riley's statement after she woke up. Under her current mental condition, she was not going to say who was the one who harmed her.
"When she's feeling better, find a psychologist to give her counseling," Bianca ordered.
"But..." Gale hesitated.
"It looks like it'll be a long time before the truth is revealed. The situation is quite chaotic outside, and it'll be disadvantageous for her.
"If we ignore her, who knows if the assassins would attempt to claim her life again? She's not going to be able to help us in her current mental condition." Bianca was hoping that Riley would help her, but things did not seem to be going her way.
Gale sighed. "Alright, I’ll take care of that." "Also," Bianca said as she glanced at the bodyguards in the room, "Get Rain to guard her at night. Riley might feel safer if a woman looks after her."
Riley had not recovered from her mental trauma. She might panic if she saw so many burly men around her.
Gale nodded.
Bianca wore sunglasses and a mask and put on her disguise before leaving the hospital.
Back in the car, she gave a phone call to Luke to inform her about Riley's situation.
"I'll get Johann to check on her," Luke replied after hearing that Riley was not in a good mental condition.
"Is he a psychologist too?" Bianca was surprised.
"Johann can do everything." Luke glanced at the time and saw that it was still early. "You don't have to worry about this, Bea. I can stall the situation for a few more days."
Bianca sighed. "Alright, I shouldn't bother you. I'll go to the supermarket." "The supermarket?" Luke sounded worried.
The news that Riley had disappeared had spread all over A City. Many people thought that Bianca was the culprit.
They thought that Bianca had secretly dispatched Riley to erase the evidence of her crimes.
She would definitely cause a stir if she appeared publicly.
"Yes, I barely had enough ingredients for breakfast this morning. If I don't buy more food, I won't be able to cook lunch for the children," Bianca said helplessly.
She knew Luke's worries and continued, "Don't worry. I'm disguising myself with sunglasses and a mask. No one will recognize me." "Mm. Make sure that Sean is with you," Luke said and wondered if he should arrange some bodyguards for Bianca.
However, he soon vetoed the idea.
Bodyguards would attract too much attention, and it would be easier for people to recognize her.
"Alright," Bianca looked outside the window and realized that she was almost at the supermarket. "Please stop at the supermarket, Mr. Zander." "Yes, Madam." Sean prepared to park at the roadside.
"I'm at the supermarket. Talk to you later," Bianca said.
"Take care. Call me if you need anything," Luke said.
"Okay." Bianca ended the call. Before she got out of the car, she put on her sunglasses and mask again.
She did not like going out in a disguise, but she had to keep her face hidden from the public so as not to give Luke any more trouble.
Sean got out of the car with her. "Please be careful, Madam." "Mm." Bianca stepped out of the car and walked into the supermarket.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 920-Bianca Rayne Still Loves Mr. Tanner, Deliberately Harms A Pregnant Woman
Bianca placed a lot of food products in her shopping cart.
Sean followed closely behind her. He was fully aware of their surroundings.
Bianca sighed. She thought that Sean would attract more attention to her. Fortunately, it was quite late in the morning, and there were not that many people in the supermarket.
She pushed the shopping cart to Sean. "Can you help me with the shopping cart, Mr. Zander?" "Yes, Madam." Sean continued to push it.
Bianca picked up some poultry and bought some fruits for the children.
After piling the shopping cart with food, she said to Sean, "Let's go to the checkout counter, Mr. Zander." "Yes, Madam." Sean pushed the shopping cart to the checkout counter.
There were not many counters that were open at that hour. Several people were queuing at each of those counters.
Bianca randomly stood in line at one of the counters.
Sean glanced at the queue in front of them. Those people had loaded shopping carts with them. "Madam, this supermarket belongs to Mr. Holston. Should I inform him?" He whispered.
Bianca shook her head. 'Let's wait in line. It won't take long."
Sean nodded and patiently waited in line.
In front of them were two middle-aged women gossiping.
"Have you heard the news about the T Corporation CEO and his wife?" One of the women asked.
"It's the talk of the town now. Why wouldn't I know about it?" The other woman replied.
Bianca frowned. She did not expect that people would be talking about her even in the supermarket.
She lowered the brim of her hat.
"What a wicked woman. Not only she harmed that pregnant woman, but she also secreted her away. I pity the Tanners. They lost their baby, and the baby's mother is nowhere to be found too." "Isn't that so? I've read an article saying that the woman wasn't hidden but murdered. To think that this could happen in modern times. How scary!" The woman said while drawing a line across her neck.
Bianca frowned even harder. How did the rumors evolve to become like that?
They were saying that she killed Riley!
Bianca turned her head to look at Sean. He seemed to be very angry and wanted to argue with the women.
However, he knew that he had to keep Bianca's identity a secret.
"Why hasn't the police arrested her yet? Murder is a serious crime!" "That's because T Corporation is rich and influential. The police might be harboring her too! They say that they protect all citizens, but I'm guessing only the rich ones," the woman said profoundly.
"So is she getting off the hook just like that? I've heard that the Tanners are quite influential too. Are they going to let their daughter-in-law go missing without doing anything?" "Haven't you heard? The pregnant woman is only the Tanner son's mistress, and they haven't registered their marriage yet. The Tanners might be rich and influential, but they're nowhere near as influential as the Crawfords. They reported it to the police, but they can't do anything more than that."
While listening to the gossip, Bianca took out her phone and browsed a news website.
The website reported about Riley's disappearance.
Under the article were the readers' comments. Many people were guessing that Bianca had secretly killed Riley.
Bianca was helpless. The news article was making wild speculations instead of reporting based on facts, but it sounded very convincing.
Her reputation online was in tatters.
Some people were speaking up for the Tanners. Some were saying that Luke was blind to have married a murderer.
Bianca believed that if she took off her sunglasses and mask, the women would throw their eggs and tomatoes at her.
As she continued to browse the website, she was particularly flabbergasted by one of the headlines.
"The Shocking Truth! Bianca Rayne Still Loves Mr. Tanner, Deliberately Harms A Pregnant Woman."
Bianca was speechless.
She felt very wronged.
Sean took a step forward and glared at the women. "Watch your mouth!" "What about it? I'm only repeating what the news on the Internet says." The woman was slightly intimidated, though she did not want to admit defeat.
Sean was about to retort when Bianca tugged his hand. "It's fine, Mr.
Zander."
While the woman placed her items on the conveyor belt, she was still muttering, "How strange! That's what everyone is thinking now. Don't tell me that he's related to that woman!"
Sean was slightly frustrated. If Bianca had not stopped her, he would not have shown any mercy to those women.
After checking out, Bianca and Sean left the supermarket with three full shopping bags.
After they got into the car, Sean said, "Please don't mind what those women were saying, Madam." "I don't care at all." Bianca breathed a sigh of relief as she took off her mask.
It was stifling to be wearing that disguise.
"Let's go home, Mr. Zander," she said.
"Yes, Madam." Sean started the car and drove toward the mansion.
Bianca's phone started ringing.
It was from Sue. "Is everything alright, Sue?” "Are you free now, Bianca?" Sue asked.
"Yes. Is there anything?" Bianca could guess that Sue was calling her because of company matters.
"Well... the police called us this morning and said that they've closed the case for the virus attack. I went there to sign some papers, but after I reached there, they told me that the general manager of the company has to come."
Sue was currently at the police station. She did not want to disturb Bianca, who should be feeling troubled because of Riley's incident.
"Alright. I'm near the police station anyway. Wait for me there, and I'll come over," Bianca said.
"Be careful. I noticed that several reporters are waiting outside the police station." Sue guessed that the reporters must be waiting for Bianca.
"Alright, thank you." After Bianca ended the call, she told Sean, "I have to go to the police station to handle some matters, Mr. Zander. Please bring me there." "Should I let Mr. Crawford know?" Sean asked.
"There's no need. It's not about Riley but my company." Bianca remembered what Sue said and continued, "Right, we should go in from the side entrance. There are several reporters at the front." "Yes, Madam.” Sean made a U-turn at the traffic light and drove toward the police station.
There were no reporters at the side entrance. Sean parked the car and turned toward Bianca. "HI escort you in, Madam.” "Alright." Bianca did not refuse. She put on her sunglasses and mask and got out of the car.
