Chapter 466
Chapter 466 Luke Carried Bianca Out of the Hall...
Bianca's chest nearly jumped out of her chest at that moment.
Every cell in her body was burning in agony.
Seeing that Jack was about to take the CD from the woman's hand, Bianca suddenly yelled at Luke,nNo! I don't want to marry you! I don't want to be engaged with you!"
The hall instantly fell silent.
It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Luke was caught in a daze as he kneeled there on one knee.
He had always known that Bianca looked forward to the wedding more than he did. He had notexpected such an outcome.
Old Master Crawford's face turned ashen. His hand that was holding his walking stick was trembling.
Jason immediately stepped forward and supported Old Master Crawford.
Susan was impassive.
She had learned the hard way that marrying into a wealthy family was a trap. She even felt that theyoung woman had made the right choice.
Allison was fuming. If she did not care so much for her reputation, she would have rushed up the stageand ripped Bianca's pure face apart!
So many young female socialites wanted to marry her son!
Now, Bianca Rayne, an unremarkable woman from a lowly background, rejected Luke's proposal inpublic. That was a great humiliation to the Crawford family!
Old Master Rayne and Wanda were shocked.
Bianca had always been kind and sympathetic. Why would she...
Even if she did not agree to the proposal, she should have said it to him in private. Why would shereject him in front of all the important people in the city? That would have made Luke the subject ofridicule!
Luke stared at Bianca. He could feel his heart shrivel and freeze from her reply.
He remained kneeling on the floor. "Why?" He wanted an answer.
Bianca felt her heart tearing into two.
Her shoulders were trembling, and there were tears in her eyes. However, she insisted. "I don't thinkthat I'm a match for you. You are an outstanding man from an elite family, but I'm poor, talentless, andhave a lousy character. I can't help you at work, and I can't give you what you want. Sorry!"
Bianca, in the depths of her sorrow, still had a shred of sanity.
Bianca did not know who the woman was or where she came from, but if she were to threaten Biancawith the CD, there could only be two possibilities.
She was either an admirer of Luke, or someone had hired her to do so.
Either way, her goal was to force Bianca to leave Luke.
Bianca was gambling on the fact that if she would leave Luke willingly, the woman would not hand inthe CD, no matter what her intentions might be. It would serve the woman no benefit.
As for humiliating Luke during the ceremony, she was not able to do that.
That was why Bianca pushed all the blame of rejecting his proposal to herself.
The woman might not be entirely satisfied, but the engagement was definitely off. The Crawford familywould not accept her after being humiliated this way. 1
The woman would have gotten what she wanted, and she would feel a little less guilty about Luke.novelbin
Bianca's heart felt like it was being ripped apart by sharp claws. The pain was so agonizing that herinnards were torn in two!
Luke naturally did not believe Bianca's farfetched excuse.
Even so, his usually resilient heart ached.
Luke stood up, held Bianca's shoulders, and spoke with a voice that only the two people could hear. "Idon't believe a single word you say, Bianca! Tell me what happened that changed your mind! If you'renot prepared to marry me, I can wait for you, no matter how many years it might take...
Even if it takes my whole life, I will wait until you say yes to me. You know that I won't force you to doanything that you're not willing to do."
Bianca's head was splitting, as though she had been hit by a hammer.
She felt immensely guilty by what Luke said.
At that moment, she was more conscious as ever, but her eyes were brimming with helplessness andconfusion.
Luke could see the agony in her eyes.
There was a sparkle in his eyes. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that Bianca was notgenuinely unwilling to marry him. He waited for her to give him a more convincing reason.
Bianca shook her head, and her pretty little face turned paler.
Luke wanted to ask her more, but suddenly, Bianca's body went limp, and she slumped over...
"Bianca!" Luke caught Bianca's body in time.
His handsome features were wracked with pallor as he looked at her unconscious face.
His heart was seized with pain.
Luke blamed himself. Was he rushing things? Perhaps he had been too anxious, and Bianca was notprepared to marry him.
The audience was in an uproar.
The engagement ceremony was going as planned, but the bride-to-be suddenly rejected the man'sproposal and fainted. No one had expected that.
The guests whispered among each other, pointing and discussing the unconscious Bianca withaccusations and mockery.
Luke lifted Bianca in a bridal carry.
He stood straight as a pine tree. As he faced the microphone, his handsome face was grim.
His regal demeanor filled the hall and made everyone fall silent.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Luke's cold and elegant voice spoke into the golden microphone. "I apologizefor the sudden turn of events. Last night, my fiancee was afflicted with a sudden flu. She was down witha 104- degree fever, and she was hooked to an IV drip overnight. She isn't in her best condition now,and I'm afraid that she didn't mean what she says because of her confusion. Please do not take it asthe truth. We shall postpone our engagement, but we shall proceed with the dinner tonight. At the sametime, I want to make a statement to all the media reporters present. I do not wish to see any unfoundedrumors about Bianca tomorrow, and I hope you will understand what I mean!"
Luke spoke softly with a smile on her face, but his gaze was colder than snow. The reporters at theevent all trembled and felt chills down their spines!
Everyone knew that despite Luke's gentle demeanor, he was famous for the merciless way he doesthings.
No mere mortal could afford to suffer the consequences of offending him!
Luke carried Bianca out of the hall.
Leia gritted her teeth so hard that they were creaking as she watched the scene unfold, i 'Thatshouldn't happen!
'Bianca had humiliated Luke and his family in front of everyone. Shouldn't the man hate or evendespise her?
'Why is he still harboring that woman?'
