Female Novel
Chapter 1927
Luke's words made Jack determined. "I've been considering a position for transfer recently and Enochwas shortlisted. I know what to do."
Jack considered that Enoch was a local, and his whole family was involved in local politics.
Even though he was on the dispatch list, he was still thinking about whether to transfer him.
However, Jack did not have any second thoughts now. He decided to transfer Enoch.
Enoch had no one to blame. After all, as a father, Jack had done very little for Bianca. He had to dosomething for her now.
Moreover, Enoch's transfer was also a promotion. It was good for his future development.
"Yeah." Luke did not say anything after he heard Jack's answer. He knew that Jack would do what wasnecessary.
When he was about to hang up the phone, Jack checked in on how he was doing. "By the way, Luke,are you okay?"
"It wasn't great at first, but she's by my side and I'm fine now." Luke's words made Jack smile.
Luke did not express much love for Bianca in front of him, but this sentence was enough to show theplace that Bianca held in his heart.
"That's great to hear. Your mother-in-law and I will visit you another day," Jack said.
"It's alright. I'll visit you two with her another day. Father-in-law, I still have work to do. I'll have to hangup," Luke said.
"Okay." Jack hung up the phone too.
He walked out of the study and saw Leia standing not far from the door. His expression darkened as heshouted, "Were you eavesdropping?"
"I didn't. Dad, your study door was closed. How could I have eavesdropped..." Leia showed a flatteringsmile, but there was slight awkwardness.
She wanted to eavesdrop, but the soundproofing was too good, so she could not hear anything.
She only heard him calling Luke's name.
Hence, the person who called him was Luke, not a civil servant.
‘Why did he say it was a work call?'
Luke was in business, while Jack was in politics. The two should have no working relationship.
"What are you doing here, then?" Jack's expression was still stern. After he realized that Leia was notresponsible, he had no feelings toward her.
The reason why he did not sever their father-daughter relationship was that Queenie was reluctant.
"I'm here to check in on you, Dad. You've been upstairs for so long, so I wanted to ask you to comedown to have some fruits." Leia showed a well-behaved look, but it was useless against Jack.
He went straight downstairs.
Leia glanced at the study and followed him.
Queenie was sitting on the sofa and watched them walk down the stairs one after the other. She raiseda gentle smile and asked with concern, "Were you talking about something that I can't know about?"
Jack glanced at Leia, walked over to Queenie, and sat down. "There's nothing that you can't knowabout.”
"Well, I don't know." Queenie laughed cheekily.
Leia sat next to her and said, "Mom, Dad won't hide anything from you, right? Dad?"
Jack met Leia's gaze. He was displeased looking at those big, round eyes.
In the beginning, the two of them liked Leia's eyes. She was articulate in the welfare agency and wasgood-looking, so they decided to adopt her.
However, the same eyes were too tainted now. They were no longer pleasant to look at.
Leia touched her face and felt a little out of place when she saw Jack just staring at her withoutanswering. "Dad, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something dirty on my face?"
"I don't lie to your mother, but have you lied to us?" Jack asked. He knew a lot of what Leia had done.She had only admitted part of it.
Leia was startled. She did not expect him to bring up such a sharp question.
Ever since Bianca came back, all he cared about was Bianca. He treated her as though she did notexist at all. Otherwise, why would he keep bringing up the past?
He should let it go.
Queenie realized that something was wrong. She tugged on Jack's sleeve and whispered, "Dear, whatare you doing?"
"I'm curious." Jack continued to stare at Leia. ‘When will she admit to the things she did? When will shelearn to apologize to those who have been hurt by her?'
"Dad, I know I've messed up a lot of things and done some ridiculous things as well, but didn't weagree to leave all of that in the past?" Leia tugged on Queenie's sleeve.novelbin
She was broke and had to please her. Otherwise, she would have nowhere to live if she was kicked outof Norman Residence.
"Yeah, Leia knows that she's in the wrong," Queenie spoke up for Leia. Now that Bianca was not by herside, her only hope was that the family could live in harmony and that there would be no more troublesfor them.
Leia glanced at the time and immediately said, "Yes, I know I was in the wrong. I'll stay by your side inthe future, take good care of you, and be filial to you. By the way, it's almost time for your daily news,Dad. I'll help you change the channel."
She picked up the remote control, turned the channel to the news program, and took the opportunity tochange the subject.
Queenie held Jack's hand and rubbed it lightly. "She knows that she did something wrong. As parents,we should let it go."
Jack looked at Queenie doting on Leia. It was her doting and his neglect that turned Leia into what shewas.
If it were not for Leia, Bianca would not have suffered so much.
However, that was all in the past. No matter how angry he was about the events of the past, Biancahad already gone through plastic surgery. She was now forced to stay by Luke's side.
This was a fact that could not be changed.
The news officially began. Jack looked away from Leia and looked at the TV.
As the news played, Leia pretended to be watching TV with them. However, she was not at allinterested in the news.
That was until the economic channel reported that T Corporation was going to participate in theRussian project.
She instantly paid attention to the news.
The Russian project, if successful, would help T Corporation garner a lot of profits...
Leia was jealous that Luke's future was bright. Not only did she fail to get together with him, but shealso lost so much in the process.
"Luke is getting more and more capable." Queenie looked at the news and could not help but sigh. Shewas proud that Luke was their son-in-law. She regarded him as half a son.
"Yeah, if they win the bid for this project, his company's future development will be even better."Although Jack was in politics, he also understood the economic and business impact of this project.
