Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 921-Luke Should Have a Way
Bianca went into the police station from the side entrance and met Sue.
"Are you okay, Bianca?" Sue looked at her worriedly.
Bianca shook her head and took off her mask. "I'm fine. There were no reporters at the side entrance. Where should I sign?" "Over here..." Sue paused for a while. "But I think you'll need to read the case report carefully."
Bianca sat on a chair, and a police officer handed her the case report. "If there are no problems, please affix your signature on the last page of the report." "Mm." She took the report, read it, and understood why Sue said that.
The security guard of the building had retracted his previous statement. He said that the person who had instructed him was not Maxine but rather Moxine, a woman with a similar name.
The woman named Moxine had turned herself in. She was the general manager of Central Construction LLC, and she had bribed the security guard to install the virus because Bianca's company had snatched her clients.
Everything sounded as though it made sense, but Bianca frowned.
"Central Construction?" She and Sue exchanged glances. 'I've never heard of them before."
She had been in contact with many construction companies while in charge of T Corporation, but she had never heard of Central Construction before.
"The company does exist, and they have been operational two years before our company, but they are not in A City," Sue replied. She had searched the Internet for information about the company while
waiting for Bianca to arrive.
Bianca did not ask any more questions. She did not show any expression on her face either.
Maxine's family was influential. It was too easy to find someone to take the fall for her.
She signed on the case report, indicating that she accepted the conclusion. The person named in the report would be punished, but Maxine Douglas, the real culprit, would walk free.
The police officer took the report from her. "Please wait for a moment while we stamp the report."
Bianca waited together with Sue.
"So, that's it?" Sue remained indignant. Central Construction was not in A City, and they only serviced local clients. How could Bianca's company have snatched their clients?
"The security guard's statement was our strongest piece of evidence, but he retracted it. There's nothing else we can do," Bianca explained.
"Can Mr. Crawford do anything?" Sue knew that Maxine's family must have pulled some strings. She did not wish for Maxine to go free after having done such serious damage to their company.
Bianca knew that Luke would have a solution, but she did not want to bother him.
T Corporation was still recovering from the Galleria tragedy. She did not want Luke to take on Maxine's family in the Capital, 1 "Luke has already done a lot for us, and I don't want to trouble him further. The culprit should have received enough punishment for what she did," Bianca said.
The investigation had lasted for quite a while. In that period, Luke had pressured the police station so that Maxine could not be bailed. She had been detained in a lock-up cell ever since she was arrested.
That should be enough to teach her a lesson.
Sue was silent for a while before patting Bianca's shoulder. "You're too kind, Bianca. That's why those people dare to bully you."
She was talking about the virus attack, as well as the incident that had been brewing on the Internet.
Bianca smiled helplessly. She wished for a normal life where she only had to worry about money. Now that she was with Luke, she did not have to worry about money, but there were more difficult things to worry about.
However, with him beside her, she had nothing to fear.
The police officer handed her the stamped case report and said, "The case is considered closed, and the culprit will receive their punishment." "Ahem, Officer, I'd like to make a report!" Maxine shrieked. She and her lawyer were coming out of the police station when she saw Bianca.
She had informed her family members the moment she was brought to the lock-up.
Her father was on a business trip overseas and could not directly help her. Instead, he hired a lawyer for her.
The lawyer arrived at the police station but was unable to bail Maxine out.
That was why she had been detained there.
The treatment she received was just like any other normal citizen, even though the lawyer tried to help her.
The lawyer told her that someone had been applying pressure to the police officers, and she thought that the person was Bianca.
Bianca and Sue turned to look at Maxine.
She seemed quite pathetic after spending many days in the lock-up. She was thinner, and her chestnut hair was in clumps and had lost its original luster. Her face seemed haggard without the use of beauty creams.
The police officers frowned after hearing those words. Everyone in the police station knew that Maxine was very troublesome.
They wanted her out of the lock-up, but their superior did not allow them to set her free, and there was nothing they could do about it other than listening to her and her lawyer's incessant complaints.
"What would you like to report, Ms. Douglas?" The police officer said courteously.
"I want to sue her!" Maxine pointed a finger at Bianca. "She's the one who framed me and caused me unnecessary suffering!"
She wanted Bianca to be locked up too.
"Well..." The police officer did not know what to say. He knew that Maxine was a graduate from overseas, so why would she be so stupid to demand that?
"The security guard framed you, Ms. Douglas. It has nothing to do with me," Bianca reminded her.
"You!" Maxine wanted to smash Bianca's teeth. novelbin
"If you believe that this incident has caused you harm and distress, you can tell your lawyer to sue the security guard so that you'll receive the compensation you deserve."
The police officer cleared his throat and said, "That's right. We conduct our investigation based on the statement provided by the security guard. Feel free to let your lawyer know if you have any grievances so that you can demand further action against the security guard."
Maxine was not appeased seeing how Bianca had brushed away all responsibility. She looked at her lawyer and asked, "Can't I sue her?"
The lawyer could only advise her from a professional standpoint. "It's like this, Ms. Douglas..." "Just tell me yes or no!" Maxine was not interested in his explanation.
The lawyer pushed his glasses and gave her a curt answer. "No."
Bianca was not guilty in the first place. Even if she was the one who had caused Maxine to be locked up for so long, everything that the police had done was according to procedure.
It was hard to pin the blame on Bianca.
Maxine's chest heaved with anger as she walked toward Bianca.
Bianca and Sue smelled something strange originating from Maxine's body.
Sue instantly took Bianca's hand and stepped backward. "Careful, Bianca, she smells weird."
Sue's voice was soft, but Maxine had heard that clearly. Maxine had not used her expensive beauty care products in that period, and the only thing that she could use to clean her sensitive skin was bar soap. That was why she smelled weird.
She instantly turned red with anger and lifted her hand, intending to slap Sue. "What are you saying, you b*tch?"
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 922-Die, Murderer!
Bianca quickly blocked Maxine's hand and said seriously, "We're in the police station now. Are you sure you want to slap her and get the lawyer to bail you out again?"
Maxine took her hand back in anger, and her eyes were wide open in anger. "Don't be so smug, Bianca Rayne. All you have is Luke helping you, but you keep on courting trouble for him. Sooner or later, Luke will tire of you, and your good life will come to an end!"
Bianca remained calm despite the instigation. She knew very well what Luke thought of her.
It did not matter what other people said.
Her clear eyes remained cold as she replied impassively, "I'll enjoy my good life for now, then. Also, Ms. Douglas, you're not that close with my husband, and it's more appropriate that you address him as 'Mr. Crawford.'"
Sue could not help but smile. Bianca seemed gentle and pliant, but she had a sharp tongue.
Seeing that Maxine's face had already turned beet-red, Sue added, "Some shameless women covet other women's husbands and think that it's a glamorous thing. Do they think that they can be closer to the man if she addresses him by his first name? How shameless. Looks like the filthy lockup cell hasn't taught her a lesson yet."
The police officer, tired of Maxine's torment, added, "Our cells are very hygienic." "Y... You!" Maxine was almost losing her mind from anger. She turned her head and looked at the lawyer.
The lawyer understood what she wanted. He walked up to Maxine and smelled the weird smell that Sue was talking about, though he reminded her, "Ms. Douglas, I can't do anything about it if they didn't name any names."
Maxine stomped her foot. Since she could not do anything about Bianca, she could only leave.
She noticed the reporters waiting at the entrance and reflexively flinched. They thought that they were there to report on her.
She had a superior social status, and she could not lose her dignity in front of the media.
The lawyer followed her out and told her, "They're not here to report about you, Ms. Douglas?"
Maxine narrowed her eyes. She noticed that the reporters did not react when they saw her. After all, she was not as famous in A City. If not for Bianca, her name would not have appeared in the newspapers.
"Why are they here?" She asked curiously. The crowd of reporters was not very big, nor was it very small.
"You don't know it because you've been detained. Mrs. Crawford is in the news lately, and she's the focus of attention of the entire A City."
After the lawyer explained the incident to her, she reached out. "Bianca Rayne? Lend me your phone."
Her phone was already out of battery, and she had to borrow the lawyer's phone.
The lawyer took out his phone, unlocked it, and handed it to Maxine.
Maxine entered Bianca's name in the search bar, and many news articles popped out.
She briefly browsed through all of them, and a sinister smile appeared on her face. "Do they know that Bianca is inside?" "It looks like they don't," the lawyer guessed. "There would have been more reporters if they knew that Bianca Rayne was here. She must have come in through the side entrance.’
Maxine handed the phone back to the lawyer and said smugly. "I think that they're working quite hard to get the next story. How about you go and help them?" "Well..." The lawyer did not want to court trouble.
"I've heard that the contract between your firm and my dad's company is almost expiring. My dad hasn't been too satisfied with your performance. I can perhaps try and convince my father to extend the contract." Maxine bunched her hair together with her hand. She was disgusted by the amount of grime on her hand and wiped it away with a napkin.
"I'll be glad to help my friends in the media." The lawyer walked over.
After Bianca watched Maxine leave, she said to Sue seriously, "You don't have to speak up for me, Sue. I can handle it myself."
Maxine came from an influential family, and Sue was only a normal woman. Bianca did not want Sue to offend the Douglas family.
Sue knew Bianca's worries and patted her shoulder. "Don't worry about it. I find that pretentious woman disgusting and could not help but say something. It's already late, and I should go back to the company. You'd better get this settled soon; the company needs you." "Alright." Bianca nodded. Did you come here by cab?' "No, I drove here. I'll be leaving." Sue smiled at her and turned away.
Bianca turned to look at Sean. "Let's go, Mr. Zander." "Yes, Madam." Sean nodded.
They left through the side entrance. The car was parked near there.
Before Bianca could get into the car, the reporters that had been waiting there swarmed her.
"Bianca Rayne is here!" Someone shouted. Bianca's heart skipped a beat and instinctively took a step backward.
Compared to the main entrance, only a single security guard was stationed at the side entrance.
Bianca was instantly surrounded by reporters from all directions.
Microphones, recording pens, and cameras all pointed at her.
Sean could only protect her from the front. "Step back, Madam.’
Bianca tried to move backward, but the reporter did not want her to leave. In the chaos, her foot was stepped on several times, and she could feel the pain spread throughout her body.
"Mrs. Crawford, do you know where Ms. Riley is?" "Mrs. Crawford, why are you at the police station? Are the rumors that you have murdered Ms. Riley true? Were you recording a statement?" "Mrs. Crawford, have the police found Ms. Riley's body? Did you do it? How did you get to leave the police station?" "Mrs. Crawford..." novelbin
Bianca tried to push away the microphones and cameras that were pointed at her. The camera flashes blinded her eyes.
The reporters were infuriated when they saw that Bianca did not answer their questions.
"Mrs. Crawford, why aren't you punished for your crimes? If the police already have the proof, why aren't you detained? Did Mr. Crawford or your father bribe the superintendent?" "No, no." Bianca could tolerate their slander, but she had to speak out when her husband and parents were implicated.
The reporters were like a swarm of piranhas, and they could only be satisfied after devouring her clean.
They clung onto her like maggots, and she could not shake them off.
Bianca tried to catch her breath.
The police officers soon came out of the side entrance and tried to drive the reporters off.
The police officers held batons, surrounding her while pushing away the reporters who tried to get close. Bianca was temporarily safe.
A reporter stumbled backward and nearly fell from being pushed. He hurled his microphone and shouted, "Why are you protecting that murderer? Die!"
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 925-Husband and Wife Should Support Each Other
Johann knew about that, but he did not stop.
After removing Riley's restraints, he sat on the stool nearby and read through her medical records that he brought along with him.
Seeing that he was like that, Rain rubbed her nose and sat down on the couch.
Twenty minutes later, Riley began to twitch and slowly return to her senses.
"She's awake?" Johann put the medical records away and wagged a pen in front of her eyes.
Seeing that Riley's eyes were following the pen, he put away the pen and took her pulse.
She was generally healthy, other than the fact that her body was weak.
Rain stood up and watched their interaction warily. If Riley went berserk, she would be ready to protect Johann.
"Doc... tor..." Riley was not fully awake yet. She spoke with much difficulty.
"Mm," Johan replied. He turned around and told Rain, "You should leave the ward for now." "But..." Rain hesitated to leave Johann in the ward alone with Riley.
"You'll be distracting me," Johann insisted.
Rain glanced at Riley. She had not seen Riley in her berserk state, but she saw the bodyguard's wound on his hand. Would Johann be fine if the two of them were alone in the ward?
Seeing how calm Johann was, she could only say, "We'll be outside the door. Scream out loud if you need our help. We'll come in at once."
Rain waved to the other bodyguards, and they left the ward.
Seeing that the bodyguards left, tears began to fall down Riley's eyes. ” Doctor, are you helping me?"
"Mm." If not that Riley's life was in danger, Johann would not have agreed to so many people looking after Riley in her ward.
To a woman in poor mental condition, the bodyguards in the ward looked more like jailers.
Riley blinked when she saw the ray of hope. "Doctor, can you help me escape from here? My boyfriend is looking for me."
Johann was writing down something. His voice was low, gentle, and calming.
"Do you love your boyfriend?" He asked.
Xavier's face appeared in Riley's mind. Did she love her? If she did not, she would not have borne a child for him before they were married.
"Yes, I do," she said. Tears continued to fall freely from her eyes.
Johann propped her up so that she could sit more comfortably.
"Think carefully. Do you really love him?" He asked in a low voice.
Riley's voice became agitated. "Are you doubting me? Why does everyone doubt me when I say I love Xavier Tanner?"
Johann shook his head. "I don't know you, and I don't know who your boyfriend is. I'm not qualified to lay judgment on you, but I am curious about what makes you love him."
He deliberately spoke slowly so that Riley felt at ease.
She began to think about what made her love Xavier.
An hour later, Johann stepped out of the ward, unscathed. "She's already asleep. Don't have too many people in the room at once," he told Rain.
Rain peeked inside the ward. Riley was sleeping peacefully in bed.
"Her condition..." She asked softly.
"Not as bad as expected." Johann closed the door and left with the medical records in his hand.
Rain was confused. What did the doctor mean when he said that her condition was not as bad as he expected?
She turned around and spoke to the other bodyguards. ' Two people can stand guard at the door. The others can go back and rest." "Yes." The bodyguard arranged their schedules.
Rain walked into the ward and confirmed that Riley was already asleep. She could hear that Riley was snoring gently.
"Did he drug her?" Rain could not help but be impressed at Johann's abilities as she looked at the sleeping woman.
She sat on the couch and reported the situation to Luke.
Luke's phone beeped. He glanced at it and saw that it was a message from Rain.
[Riley's condition is stable.]
Bianca slowly woke up and looked at the man sitting next to the bed. After a two-hour nap, her voice was hoarse. "Luke..." She called out warmly.
"Are you awake?" Luke put the phone down and looked at her intently.
"Did someone send you a message?" Bianca asked.
The pain on her forehead made her a light sleeper. She was woken up by the sound, and she guessed that Riley should be awake by now. novelbin
"It’s a message from Rain. She said that Johann had given Riley some psychological counseling, and her condition is stable." Luke placed the documents on his lap onto the bedside cabinet.
Bianca breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Luke.
Luke was looking at her too.
The space between them was filled with love. "Is it time for my medicine?" Bianca asked softly.
"Mm." Luke glanced at his watch and saw that she was about ten minutes away. He poured some hot water from a flask into a glass, then mixed it with some room temperature water so that it was not too hot.
Bianca looked at the bedside cabinet. Luke had prepared everything.
There was a flask, a kettle, cups, straws, and cut fruit. He prepared all that for Bianca's convenience.
Luke gave Bianca the medicine according to Johann's prescription.
Bianca furrowed her brows slightly. The medicine was quite bitter.
Luke took out a piece of milk candy and stuffed it in her mouth.
"Mm, it's so sweet," Bianca said while smiling.
Luke looked at her with a gentle gaze. "That's from Tommy." "Tommy knows me well." Bianca's brows relaxed as the sweetness of the candy spread across her mouth.
Luke gently scraped her nose. "Do you want to take a bath?"
Td love to, but I can't get out of bed." Bianca bit her lip. She had been to many places earlier today, and the dust made her feel uncomfortable.
Luke smiled at her. "Bea, who am I to you?" "You're my husband." Bianca did not understand why he asked that.
"Shouldn't husband and wife support each other? I'll help you if you can't get out of bed." Luke stood up, kissed her cheek, and went to the bathroom.
Bianca heard him turn on the tap and fill up a basin.
Two minutes later, Luke came out of the bathroom with the basin. Her towel was draped over his shoulder.
He placed the basin on the floor, then went to open the closet. "What would you like to wear?"
Bianca thought for a while. "The one with the buttons. That should be more convenient."
Luke took out a white silk pajama shirt and asked her, "Is this one okay?" "Yes." Bianca looked at him. He took the pajamas and a clean set of lingerie before closing the closet.
"Should I get the caretaker instead?" She somehow felt embarrassed when she saw him walk over.
They were husband and wife, but to have him clean her body...
Would the CEO of T Corporation clean a woman's body?
Luke refused with a straight face. Don't even think about it. I won't let another person look at your naked body."
"The caretaker is female though," Bianca said.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 926-He Could Not Bear to See Her Cry
Luke put the clothes at the side, picked up the hand towel from the basin and wrung it dry, and gently wiped her face, as though he was afraid that he might hurt her delicate skin.
"Not even women," he said domineeringly.
Bianca belonged to him. No other person can see her naked body.
"Alright then," Bianca said with a smile after Luke had cleaned her face.
Luke's hands rested on her clothes.
Bianca suddenly felt nervous. Her heart started to beat faster, and she grabbed his hands. "I'll do it myself."
She had cleaned Luke's body when he was injured, but when the roles were reserved, she somehow found it embarrassing.
Luke pulled his hands away and continued to unbutton her shirt. "Why are you nervous, Bea?"
Bianca's face was not as pale as before. She was blushing slightly, which made her face a seductive pink color.
"I'm not." She let go of her hands and grabbed the bed sheets instead.
Luke chuckled and undid the last button. "If it were before, I wouldn't have forgiven you for saying that."
Bianca blushed even harder when she heard that. "I'm still sick. The doctor said that we shouldn't make out."
She emphasized what Johann told her.
"That's why I've been holding back those thoughts," Luke said seriously as he wiped her body.
"Those thoughts..."
Bianca only wanted to cover her face with the pillow.
Fifteen minutes later, Luke helped her change into a clean set of clothes.
He was captivated by her body, but he had to resist his urges because she was unwell.
He could easily resist any other temptation, but when he looked at her...
Luke felt that his entire body was protesting.
Bianca blushed and turned away when she saw him enter the bathroom with the basin. When Luke returned, his hands were dripping with water, and he took out a bottle of medicinal tincture from the bedside cabinet.
"Huh?" Bianca did not know what he wanted to do.
"Your feet are swollen," Luke explained. When he opened the bottle, a faint smell of alcohol filled the entire room.
"Are they?" Bianca looked at her feet and noticed the bruises. It looked like many people had stepped on them.
"I'm fine, actually. It doesn't hurt," she said.
Luke rolled up Bianca's pajama pants, poured some tincture on his hands, and rubbed his palms together. When the tincture was hot, he placed his palms on Bianca’s feet.
"Hiss..." Bianca gasped in pain when he touched her.
"Are you sure that it doesn't hurt?" Luke asked.
"Don't press too hard!" Tears were gushing out of Bianca's eyes. She knew that Luke was massaging her feet to clear the bruises, but it was too painful for her to bear.
Luke poured some tincture on her feet and continued to massage them. Seeing that she was almost crying, he reduced his strength by a little.
He could not bear to see her cry.
She felt slightly less painful after that. She wiped her tears and bore with it.
Luke's palms were warm and could cover her entire foot. Bianca could not help but smile as she gazed at her husband.
"You're not crying anymore?" He joked, but his hands continued to massage her.
Bianca felt a little embarrassed. She was already a mother of three, but she still found medicine bitter and massage painful.
"I wasn't crying..." she said softly.
After massaging one foot, Luke moved on to the other.
Bianca gazed at his impeccable face as he did all that. Her gaze turned gentle when she thought that the man would do all these for her.
She knew that Luke loved her, but she did not expect that Luke would do so much for her.
The smell of the tincture was quite pungent, but to Bianca, it was fragrant and filled her heart with bliss.
Meanwhile, on the other side of A City.
Maxine walked quickly into a high-end nightclub and through the dance floor. She did not apologize when her sharp high-heels stepped on someone's foot.
The man behind him quickly stuffed a wad of cash to the person whose foot was stepped on.
She arrived in front of a private room and entered it without knocking.
Hera was busy making out with her boyfriend and was shocked by the sudden intrusion. She stood up and glared at the woman angrily.
Maxine was tall and slender, and she was dressed in luxury clothing.
Instantly, Hera felt threatened. She glanced at her boyfriend and noticed that he was ogling at the woman with his beady eyes.
She was about to explode from anger!
"Who are you? Don't you know that we've booked this private room?" Hera took a step forward and discreetly sized up the intruder.
Maxine was more beautiful, and her clothes were more expensive than the mainstream branded clothes that Hera was wearing, but Hera was more voluptuous.
"Are you Hera Sanchez?" Maxine glanced at the two people disdainfully. She wanted to gouge that man's eyes out for ogling at her.
"What's your business?" Hera said impatiently. She was waiting for someone to come.
Maxine lit a cigarette; that was her habit whenever she was irritated. After seeing that her subordinate had closed the door, she went into the main topic. "I'm the person over the phone." "You're the one? I thought I was talking to a man!" Hera noticed that her boyfriend was still ogling at Maxine and sat on his lap to remind him that she was there.
The fat man came to his senses and grabbed her waist.
Hera smiled coquettishly. "Naughty naughty, there's someone else here." novelbin
Maxine was appalled by their perverse interactions.
She could tell that Hera was declaring dominance over her boyfriend in case she snatched him away.
Why would she bother currying favor with that man? He could not compare to even one percent of Luke.
"That's my subordinate. He was the one who closed the door earlier," Maxine said impatiently.
Hera nodded, though she felt that the hand on her waist was distracting her. "Do you want a drink?"
Maxine glanced at the bottle. She was not interested in low-class alcohol.
She opened the door, spoke to her subordinate outside, then closed the door again. "I'm not used to drinking terrible alcohol like that."
Harvey's expression instantly sank. He had ordered the alcohol, and it was worth several ten thousand dollars. How was it terrible?
How rich could that woman be?
He wondered if she had a sugar daddy. Seeing that she was dressed in luxury clothing, he guessed that she had slept with many old men. He grunted and took a big gulp of alcohol.
Hera was slightly embarrassed. She said sweetly, "Nonsense. The rich people of A City love this alcohol. You don't sound like you know anything."
Many women with rich sugar daddies might be dressed lavishly, but they did not have good taste.
Hera guessed that Maxine was someone like that.
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 927-She Wants to Utterly Ruin Bianca
Maxine glanced at the couple disdainfully. She would have driven them out of the private room if not that she had important business.
Hera could sense her disdain. She cleared her throat and whispered into Harvey’s ear.
"You said that you have some dirt on Bianca. What is it?" Maxine asked impatiently.
Earlier that day, Hera read a post in the local forum. Someone was paying a high price for any dirt on Bianca Rayne.
After meeting Bianca while on vacation, Hera's luck took a turn for the worse. She lost a fortune at the casino, and Harvey did not help her. She happened to be in dire need of money, so she told that person that she was Bianca's classmate in junior high and that she had a lot of dirt on Bianca.
She did not expect it to work. Someone contacted her and asked her to meet face-to-face.
Hera smiled. "What kind of dirt do you want?" "Something that can ruin her." Maxine's gaze was sinister. She gritted her teeth hatefully when she thought of Bianca's face.
"That'll depend on how much money you can give me." Hera saw that Maxine was dressed in luxury clothes. Even if she were a sugar baby, she did not seem to be lacking in money. Hera would not hesitate to make up facts as long as Maxine paid her.
After all, this was probably the only time they would meet.
Maxine saw the greed on Hera's face. She took out a checkbook and wrote down a string of numbers. "That depends on what you can offer me. I can give you whatever you want."
Hera was discreetly shocked when she saw the figure on the check. 'Wow, her sugar daddy must be loaded,’ she thought.
"You're too generous. Don't worry, I'll surely be able to satisfy your curiosity.
Hera kept the check securely. That amount was enough to repay her debts.
She handed Maxine a USB drive. "Everything that you want is in here." "A USB drive?" Maxine frowned.
She did not have a laptop on hand, and she could not verify the contents of the USB drive.
"The meetup was called in short notice, and I didn't have the time to print out everything, so I saved everything in here," Hera explained. Right, why do you want dirt on that pathetic worm?" "That's none of your business," Maxine held the USB drive in her hand and warned Hera, "The information in the USB drive better be true. Otherwise, you'll regret it." "Of course it's true. It's the dirtiest dirt I have on her. If you want more, we can strike another deal..." "I only want the dirtiest ones." Maxine stood up. The information in the USB drive should be enough to utterly ruin Bianca.
If Luke found out about Bianca's dirt, would he keep her by his side?
Maxine walked toward the door with a sinister expression on her face.
The room door opened, and her subordinate came in with a bottle of Macallan whisky.
"Miss?” Her subordinate looked at her in confusion.
Maxine did not want to stay in the room for another second and see the appalling couple make out with each other. "Give the whisky to them. I'm not drinking it," she said.
"Yes." The subordinate placed the bottle on the table. ”A present from the Young Miss."
Harvey's eyes opened wide when he saw the label. His drinking friends had introduced him to the brand, and it was too expensive even for him.
He realized that Maxine was incredibly rich.
After the subordinate put the bottle on the table, he turned around and left with Maxine.
Hera was overjoyed after receiving the money. She shouted at Maxine's back, "Nice doing business with you, Ms. Douglas. I have more dirt on Bianca, and you can contact me again if you're interested."
After the door closed, Hera massaged her face. The botox and hyaluronic acid injections seemed to have mixed together when she smiled a little too hard earlier.
Harvey stared at the bottle of whisky greedily. "Who is she, my dear?" "Maxine Douglas. Do you know her?" Hera studied the name on the check. She had no impression of that name.
"I've never heard of an influential Douglas family in A City," Harvey said. novelbin
Harvey would know the names of the ultra-rich people in A City, even if he had not met them before. However, he could not think of anyone with that surname.
"Why, are you interested in her?" Hera said unhappily.
She would not have bothered with Harvey if not that he was rich.
"My dear, do you know how much this bottle of whisky costs?" Harvey hugged Hera with his oily hands.
Hera did not know. She was a minor Internet celebrity, and she was mildly acquainted with the high life because of her previous boyfriends.
"How would I know? The packaging looks expensive though," she mumbled, "Why, do you know about it?" "It costs six digits." Harvey was almost drooling as he stared at the bottle.
"It's that expensive?" Hera finally understood why Maxine said that earlier. Maxine's drinks were on another level compared to what Hera and Harvey drank.
No wonder Maxine had been looking at them with disdain.
"That woman is generous, and she knows how to enjoy life." Harvey was quite impressed.
"How good can she be? She's probably used goods after sleeping with so many old men. I don't know why you're so impressed with her." Hera was instantly unhappy. She did not want her boyfriend to appreciate other women.
Harvey thought that what she said made sense and tried to comfort her." That's right. My dear is the most loyal and virtuous woman."
Hera felt a little guilty when she heard that. She had lied to him before they had gone steady.
"Alright, I don't need your flattery. Let's go, Harvey." She wanted to cash in the check.
"Where are we going? We still have a bottle of fine whisky." Harvey was not planning on going anywhere. He desired to taste the whisky.
"We can ask for a refund and drink something else when we get home." Hera thought that it was a waste if Harvey drank that expensive whisky.
"We're in a high-class establishment, my dear, and it'd be embarrassing if we ask for a refund. Here, let's finish the bottle, then we'll spend the night in the hotel upstairs. What do you think?" Harvey smiled as he groped her.
Hera slapped his hand away. "Eww!" She mumbled.
Harvey opened the bottle, and the fragrance of the whisky spread throughout the entire room. He poured a glass for himself and another for Hera.
"Here, my dear. The whisky is very strong, and you'll have to sip it slowly to enjoy the full flavor. Here, let me feed you."
Hera took a sip as she curled up in Harvey’s arms. She pushed the glass away. "I'm not used to drinking this, Harvey."
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 928-Public Display Of Affection
Harvey added an ice cube to Hera's drink. "Babe you’re not enjoying it the way it should be enjoyed. Whiskey is best drunk neat. Forget it, I'll add some ice for you. I don't want you to get drunk."
He had no intention of carrying her home.
Hera took another sip of her drink. The whiskey was diluted with ice cubes and tasted much better now. She was annoyed with Harvey and thought to herself, 'Sure enough, this is what you'd expect from people that come from new money. Money can't buy class and taste. This is so much better with ice.'
If it were not for his thick wallet, Hera would not be bothered to entertain him. He did not have the looks nor the body. Worst of all, he was terrible in bed.
Harvey reached out his hand to grab her waist, kissed her, and asked," Babe, I didn't expect your classmate's scoop to be worth so much."
Hera thought that there would be a negotiation. She did not expect the other party to make such a big deal.
"She's a prime example of rich but brainless." She mocked Maxine, forgetting that she was bootlicking her just a moment ago.
Harvey was curious and asked, "What do you have on your classmate?" "Why are you so curious about this?" Hera remembered that when they were abroad, Harvey's gaze had been locked on Bianca. He even wanted to make a move on her...
She pushed down her annoyance and said coquettishly, "Harvey, don't tell me that you still think about that woman? You got lucky that Luke Crawford didn’t do anything to you last time."
Harvey felt chills running down his back when he thought of Luke's frightening gaze.
He muttered, "I’m not thinking about that woman! What’s so good about her? I was thinking about whether your scoop would lead to a fallout between Luke and that woman."
Hera smiled and said nothing.
Harvey was familiar with that smile. He squinted his eyes and asked, "Baby, you're not fooling that woman, are you?"
Of course, Hera would not admit it. She dug deeper into her lie and said," I'm not trying to fool anyone. What I told her did happen, but I don't have evidence. What she asked for is the scoop on Bianca, she didn't ask for evidence."
Harvey nodded and thought that there was logic in what she said, but he got worried again. "If that woman does something to Bianca, Luke will come after you..."
Hera's expression changed. 'Does he think that he's not a part of this?' "Harvey, you're being silly. If Luke wants to hold someone accountable, he'll go after the woman, not me." She remembered that Maxine Douglas was first in the line of fire if anything were to happen and felt at ease.
If Luke did some digging, he would only find out about Maxine.
She had nothing to be afraid of. When the sky fell, Maxine would be there to take the brunt of it.
Harvey could not say anything.
If something happened, Luke would launch an investigation and find out about Hera. If that was the case, Luke might even hurt him...
Harvey made up his mind.
Influencers like Hera were everywhere. Although he was her first, he would never ruin himself for her.
He was rich, so he could get any woman he wanted.
The two of them were plotting for themselves and drank without saying anything.
The next day.
Bianca got up with Luke's support. After resting for a whole day, she felt her body was recovering. She was gaining strength and her head no longer felt dizzy.
Johann came over, checked on her, and cleaned the wound on her forehead.
Bianca saw the two stitches on her forehead. The black stitches were inlaid in the skin. She thought that it looked hideous.
"It's ugly." She sighed and said, "Please wrap it up, I don't want to scare the kids."
Tommy and Rainie would wail if they saw her wound.
Luke touched the side of her forehead and said, "You're not ugly."
Johann chuckled slightly at the sight of their public display of affection.
He was quick in bandaging the wound and did it neatly. "My stitching skills have not regressed. As long as you keep to a healthy diet, there won't be a scar." "I trust you." Bianca smiled slightly, held up the mirror, and looked at her bandaged wound.
She was not worried about having a scar, she just did not want to scare her children.
Johann packed his equipment as he spoke, "Don't worry, you’ll be fine. You can move around as normal. However, the weather is getting warmer. It's best not to exercise vigorously for the time being
to avoid sweating. It’ll affect the healing of the wound." "Got it." Bianca put down the mirror, glanced at Luke, and asked, "By the way, how’s Miss Riley?"
Johann replied, "Riley has her demons to deal with. She’s suffering from PTSD, but her condition is not too serious. As long as she's being treated, it won’t develop into depression. She’ll eventually recover from the physical and psychological trauma." "When can she have a chat with the police?" Luke asked.
He knew that as long as Riley's matter was not resolved, Bianca would never be relieved.
Although she did not say anything, Luke knew that she was anxious and afraid.
He wanted to resolve the matter quickly so that Bianca could be happy.
"Give it another two days. I'll continue to counsel her,” Johann said with a smile.
After chatting with Riley for more than an hour yesterday, he found that Riley only hinted that she liked Xavier but there may be more underneath it.
She grew up in a poor single-parent family. When she was in technical school, she ran away from her family. novelbin
Growing up in an environment as such, she lacked love and money. When Xavier appeared in her life and expressed his interest in her, she immediately agreed.
She knew it was a business deal, but to make herself feel better, she would lie to herself thinking that she did love Xavier and she was with him not because of his money.
Over time, she thought she loved Xavier.
After what happened, she could not accept the reality of it because Xavier often talked to her about how wonderful their lives would be after their child was born.
Riley had attached great importance to this child. After she found out that their child did not survive, she was unable to accept the reality.
The absence of the child was equivalent to the absence of Xavier.
Her happy life would disappear along with it.
Therefore, when Bianca told her that Xavier had disappeared after her operation, Riley lost it and began to behave insanely.
She thought that as long as she explained to Xavier what had happened that night, he would be understanding and the two would be as happy as they were before.
Johann was now slowly helping her realize that she was an independent individual and did not have to be attached to Xavier.
However, this could not be rushed. Otherwise, all of his previous efforts would be as good as gone.
"I want to see her, can I?" Bianca asked.
Luke disagreed, worried that Riley would hurt her. "Bea..."
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 929-An Unexpected Presence In Luke's Life
"It's all my fault. I was eager to know the truth so I pushed her for it. I didn't think it through and thought that her mental state would be able to take it. It was never my intention to trigger her... I can somewhat relate to how she feels now, and I think it’d be good if I spent some time with her," Bianca explained while she held his hand and whispered in his ears, trying to get him to agree with her.
"Luke, let me go. Else, I won't be able to sleep at night from the guilt." She felt she had to talk to Riley.
Luke could not say no to her. Bianca may seem like a gentlewoman, but the moment she insisted on something, she would not stop until she got what she wanted.
He looked at Johann and asked, "Will that woman suddenly go mad again?"
Johann shook his head. "No, her condition has stabilized."
He had thoroughly evaluated Riley's condition. She would be fine if no one intentionally tried to trigger her.
Luke knew that he could not stop Bianca, so he said with a serious expression, "You must protect yourself."
Bianca nodded and assured him, "I will, and Rain is here with me. She’ll protect me."
After Johann left, Bianca asked Zander to take her to the hospital.
Just as she was closing the car door, Luke stepped forward and stretched out his long legs, stopping her from closing the door.
"Luke?" Bianca looked at him suspiciously.
Til go with you," Luke said as he passed his laptop to her and got into the car from the other side.
Bianca shook her head helplessly. "I'll be fine, you don't need to come with me." "Hey, let me go with you." Luke took the laptop in her arms and put it aside.
The events that happened yesterday had truly scared him. If he were by her side at that time, nothing like that would have happened. Maxine would not have gotten away with it either.
Maxine Douglas... Luke added another name to his list.
Bianca sighed helplessly.
She did not want Luke to put off work because of her.
T Corporation was in the spotlight and was on the cusp of the storm because of her. More than ever, it was important for him to go back and preside over the situation.
Zander sat in the driver's seat and comforted her, "Madam, Sir is worried about you. Just let him accompany you."
Luke responded, "Yeah." novelbin
Bianca helplessly stretched out her hands and negotiated with him, "Can you promise to wait outside the ward?"
Luke had a strong aura and was not as approachable as Johann. If he entered the ward, it might be a psychological burden to Riley.
Bianca did not want to trigger Riley.
He frowned and seemed to disagree.
Bianca said, "Rain will be inside with me, so don't worry." "Okay." Luke had to compromise and stay outside. If something happened, he could rush in to protect her as soon as possible.
After the couple had a discussion, Bianca said to Zander, "Zander, drive." "Okay, Ma'am." Zander started the car and hurried to the hospital. He was happy that Bianca had made Luke more humane.
He had driven for Luke for many years and had seen how indifferent and merciless he could be.
When he first assumed the position of president of T Corporation, he immediately started acquiring promising companies in the same industry.
Acquisition battles were always cruel, and Luke used his sharp business acumen to successfully acquire his targeted companies at the lowest cost.
An owner of one of the acquired companies once brought his whole family and knelt at the entrance of T Corporation to beg Luke to abandon the acquisition.
Luke had asked Zander to drive off while ignoring the cries of the family.
However, Luke did guide the owner in private. That led to the owner's current life being several times better than before.
Several newspapers had scrambled to report about his indifference and ruthlessness. The public went after him but it failed to shake his decision.
He was a person who would not change his limits and decision for anyone, except Bianca.
Bianca was an unexpected presence in Luke's life.
Zander looked at the two through the rear-view mirror. Luke had turned on his laptop and was focused on work.
Bianca leaned on his shoulder to sleep.
The couple looked like a painting.
Zander sighed, looked away, and drove intently.
When they arrived at the hospital, Bianca wanted to wrap herself up before getting out of the car. Luke was not bothered. He opened the car door and pulled her out.
"Luke?" She had a mask in her hand.
"I'm here, you don't need this." Luke put the mask that was in her hand back in the car. They walked into the elevator together and went upstairs.
Two bodyguards were guarding the ward. "Boss, Madam, good morning."
Luke nodded slightly, his expression looking grim.
Bianca got to the door, paused to think for a while, and then turned to tell him, "You stay here." "Okay." Luke agreed.
Bianca turned and walked into the ward, closing the door behind her.
The two bodyguards looked at each other and were surprised that their boss was locked out by his wife!
In the past, Luke was the only one who turned people away, but today, he was rejected by his own wife. The bodyguards were surprised!
Luke's mood was gloomy, and his stern eyes swept over the two bodyguards who instantly stood up straight when his gaze met theirs.
"Can I get a chair?" he asked.
One of the bodyguards said, "There's one in the ward next door, I'll bring it to you."
There was no one in the ward next door. The bodyguard opened the door, brought a chair over, patted it, and respectfully said, "Boss, please sit."
Luke sat on the chair and glanced at the closed door. He was not sure what was going on inside.
He texted Rain.
In the ward.
Rain was talking to Bianca when the phone in her pocket vibrated. She took it out and saw a text from Luke, who was asking for an update.
She glanced at Bianca, lowered her head, and replied, [Riley is emotionally stable and there's no danger.]
Bianca put the thermos on the bedside table and glanced at the bowl next to it.
A half-eaten bowl of porridge that had long cooled was sitting there. Riley had not eaten much.
She opened the thermos and said, "You're weak and need to take care of yourself. I asked the nanny to make chicken stew. It is good for your health. Would you like to have some?"
Riley kept quiet. She would only say a few more words when Johann was here.
Bianca picked up a clean bowl, filled it with stew, and said to Riley, "Your face is very pale. This can regulate your blood flow and make you look much better. Have a sip! It was simmered for a few hours, so the essence of the chicken is all in it. You had very little porridge. If this continues, your body will not be able to take it."
Rain saw Bianca rambling and could not help but say, "Madam, don't bother, she won't talk. Dr. Johann prescribed her an intravenous hyperalimentation for nutritional support. She won't be hungry."
Bianca shook her head and looked at Riley. "No matter how good the IV is, it’s not proper nutrition. This will do a lot of damage to the woman's body. If you don't supplement your nutrition and take care of your body, it might be troublesome in the future."
Twins in Her Womb: Sir President Please be Gentle Chapter 930-Boss Loves His Wife More Than Anything
Riley opened his eyes and there was a look of hatred in them.
Rain did not say much, so she could ignore the few words she uttered from time to time and just be immersed in her sad world.
However, she could not ignore Bianca's words...
Riley tried to sit up, but her body was weak after the operation so she could not sit upright. Her hands trembled. "Bianca, stop pretending like you care. Go away!"
Bianca had anticipated this reaction and put down the bowl. She stood by the hospital bed and bowed. "I'm sorry."
Rain was surprised and uttered, ’ Madam?"
Riley was taken back as well. "Bianca, what are you up to?”
Bianca explained herself, "What I said yesterday was a little harsh and I'm really sorry that I hurt you."
At that time, she just wanted to help her out of her fantasy and sorrow, but she never thought that it might be too much for Riley.
Riley shrank in a corner warily, staying silent.
Luke was the most powerful man in A City and stood behind Bianca, so why would she need to apologize to her?
Without Xavier, Riley was just a humble ant.
Luke and Bianca could step on her as much as they wanted to.
After Bianca apologized, she held up the soup bowl again. "No matter how sad you are, don't torture yourself. Drink a bowl of soup and you'll feel better. Then, you can do whatever you want." "I want Xavier and our kid." Riley was stubborn.
Bianca did not dare to be harsh this time and handed her the soup. "The doctor said that this miscarriage doesn't mean that you can't get pregnant again. You're young and can get pregnant again when you're ready to. You
have to be strong and recover. As for Xavier, I can't help you with that. But as long as you recover and the doctor clears you, you're free to leave.”
Hope appeared in Riley's eyes as she stared at Bianca and asked, "Are you serious?" "I’m being serious. As long as Dr. Johann says that you're fully recovered, you can leave the hospital," Bianca nodded and repeated herself.
She had trust in Dr. Johann's medical skills.
What was more, what Riley needed more than anything now was the hope to live.
Sure enough, Riley seemed brighter and her spirits improved a lot. She stretched out her hand to grab the bowl from the bedside table.
"What happened to you?" Bianca asked.
"I want to have some porridge first, and then my medicine." Riley had hope now, so she would force herself to eat more.
Bianca was right. She could survive with IV drips, but it would not help her recover quickly. Her only option was to eat...
Bianca touched the bowl and found that it was cold.
"You can't eat it cold." She turned around and told Rain, "Rain, get them to bring a bowl of porridge from the cafeteria."
Rain nodded, opened the door of the ward, and saw that Luke was sitting opposite the door. She held a phone in her hand and exclaimed, "Boss?" "What's going on inside?" Luke looked slightly nervous when he saw her come out.
Rain said, "Ms. Riley wants to have porridge so Madam asked us to get a warm bowl of it."
One of the bodyguards heard it and said, "I'll go get it."
Rain nodded and continued to look at Luke. Why was he not inside with them?
"Boss, do you want to come in?"
The dignified T Corporation's CEO, Luke Crawford, was sitting on a chair in the hospital corridor. It was unbelievable.
Rain even thought it was funny.
Luke shook his head and replied, "Protect Bianca."
Rain thought about it and after she met his gaze, she quickly nodded and closed the door of the ward.
After Riley had the porridge and the soup, Bianca told Rain to take good care of Riley before she left.
Luke was waiting outside the door and became gentle the moment he saw Bianca. "My love." "Luke, let's go." Bianca smiled slightly. She was in a good mood since she was able to cheer Riley up.
"Yeah." Luke took her hand and left.
The bodyguard looked at them and was dumbfounded. "The boss is so gentle..." "Only to his wife." Another bodyguard said, "I heard Gale say that the boss loves his wife more than anything. They look great as a couple."
Gale was their boss.
"Yes, I’ve heard that women are fickle, but men are no worse than women when they turn fickle."
They had seen Luke, who was dissatisfied a second ago, turn gentle upon seeing Bianca.
On the way back home, Bianca received a call from Queenie.
"Bea, your father and I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you free for a meal at our place today?"
Bianca glanced at Luke.
"Mom, I..."
Luke heard the voice on the other end of the phone and whispered, "Give me the phone." novelbin
Bianca handed her phone to Luke.
"Mom, I'm Luke. I’ll take Bea back to your place now."
Queenie rejoiced and replied, "Luke, you're here too, that’s great! I bought lobster, so let's have lunch today." "Sounds good." Luke gave the phone back to Bianca.
She was worried about delaying his work, but since he had agreed, Bianca replied, "Mom, we'll be there later."
After that, she put down the phone and looked at Luke disapprovingly." This will take time away from your work." "I almost finished today’s work while waiting for you in the hallway, don’t worry. Zander, to the wine cellar," Luke said.
"Got it."
Luke had a private wine cellar in A City. Although it was not as big, it had countless well-known wines.
He rarely shared the bottles of wine there with others-not even Old Master Crawford, who would ask about his wine once in a while.
Luke took two bottles of Romani Conti Grand Cru red wine from the cellar.
Jack Norman liked to have a glass when he felt like it, so this wine was perfect for him.
Bianca glanced at the two bottles of wine, smiled, and shook her head." Some might think that you're trying to bribe my father with wine."
Luke said as he carefully put the wine aside, "I bought them some time ago. I'm happy to let Jack have a taste of them. Let's go to the Norman Residence." "Yes." Zander started the car and headed for Norman Residence.
Norman Residence.
When Bianca walked in holding Luke's hand, Queenie was busy arranging flowers.
Her quiet side profile was somewhat similar to Bianca but with traces of time. She had a mature charm.
When she saw them coming, Queenie wiped her hands and smiled gently." You’re finally here, Bea. What happened to your forehead?"
She noticed the gauze on Bianca's forehead. She was worried and immediately stepped forward. She wanted to take a closer look at it.
"Mom, it’s an accident, it's okay. Sorry that I’ve been so busy that I ignored you and Dad." Bianca smiled slightly, apologized softly, and hugged Queenie.
"Why are you so careless? Luke, why didn't you take care of Bea?" Queenie greeted the couple.
Luke said, "It’s my bad, I'll pay more attention to Bea next time. Queenie, where’s Jack?" "He’s in the kitchen. He said he wants to prepare the lobster sashimi himself after knowing that you're coming," Queenie replied, her gaze landing on Bianca again.
