Chapter 471 Surprise! It’s Actually Luke Crawford!
Blue Honors.
Charmaine walked into a VIP private room, dressed in the most beautiful and most expensive clothesand shoes that she got from Leia.
She got to know from a friend that Mr. Ford, an internationally renowned director, intended to shoot amovie with a hundred-million-dollar budget using only actors with no previous screen experience.
That friend knew Mr. Ford's producer, and that was why she recommended Charmaine.
After looking at Charmaine's photo, Mr. Ford decided to give her a chance in an audition.
Charmaine found out that Mr. Ford had reserved a private room in Blue Honors, and her friend hadsomehow gotten an invitation for her. She was so happy that she was losing her mind.
She arrived at Blue Honors with the invitation card.
She wanted to show her face to Mr. Ford. The director might even make an exception for her if he wascharmed by her voluptuous figure.
"Mr. Ford..."
Before she stepped through the door, Charmaine's seductive voice was heard.
She tried to pull the neckline of her top as low as possible.
Just when she was about to reach for the door handle, the door opened without warning. She stumbledforward and fell on the floor!
Charmaine lifted her head, surprised. She saw a breathtakingly handsome man sitting in a dark corner.
His demeanor put him above mere mortals. Even the lights in the room dimmed in his presence.
It was Luke Crawford!
Charmaine's face turned pale when she saw him. She wondered if he found out about the fact that shehad hired someone to libel Bianca.
If that were the case, the man was too scary!
However, Charmaine knew how to deal with men.
She soon resumed her composure and greeted Luke coyly. "Mr. Crawford. I wonder why you invited mehere using Mr. Ford's name?"
Charmaine's gaze was filled with admiration and lust for the man. She would have torn off her clothesand pounced on him if not that he was surrounded by four burly bodyguards dressed in black.
The man was sitting on the couch with his legs crossed. The light shone on his body, which made hischin seem more pointed than it should.
Luke held a cigarette in his hand and elegantly tapped it on the ashtray. "I don't want any nonsensefrom you. I only want to know what you told Bianca Rayne at 6.30 pm in Monke Dessert Cafe that day,which caused her to reject the proposal. Someone saw you hand her a CD in the dessert cafe. What'sinside it?"
Luke had a business relationship with the Weish family, and he knew that Channing Weish, the generalmanager, had a daughter born out of wedlock named Charmaine whom he doted on. She was prettyand charming, but her personal life was a mess.
He would not have been bothered by that woman, but after reviewing the security footage, he realizedthat Bianca's attitude changed after meeting Charmaine in the dessert cafe. She had said someexpected things to him, even asking him about his response if she called off the proposal!
He had thought that Bianca might be affected by her hormones or her nerves, and that was why he didnot pay too much attention to it. However, that had caused the accident to happen during theengagement ceremony.
He had to find out the truth!
Luke's voice was soft, gentle, and melodic, but to Charmaine, it was like a thunderclap.
She tried to avert her gaze.
'How did this man find out so much in such a short amount of time?
'Did Bianca tell him about it?
'She had promised me that she wouldn't tell him anything, and she would leave A City discreetly.
'Did she change her mind because she didn't want to let go of the Crawford family's riches?'
She tried to hide her shock and pretended to be oblivious. "What do you mean, Mr. Crawford? I don'tknow Bianca Rayne at all. How could I possibly change her mind? Also, what is it about CDs? Dopeople still use old- fashioned CDs in this modern age? Bianca, that materialistic woman, is no matchfor you. How about if I become your woman? We don't have to get married; I'm happy enough if I canspend one night with you.”novelbin
Charmaine had always been daring. As she confessed to Luke, she tore away her fragile clothing andpounced at Luke.
Luke sat still on the couch. His gaze seemed to be mocking but at the same time disgusted.
When one of the bodyguards kicked Charmaine away, he did not even blink.
The bodyguard had used a lot of force. Charmaine slammed into the coffee table behind her. She wasseized by a dull pain in her chest, as though one or more of her ribs were broken.
She coughed and tasted blood in her mouth.
Charmaine looked at the man on the couch in shock. She was embarrassed and frustrated. "LukeCrawford, I'm Leia's best friend. How can you treat me like that?"
Luke did not bother looking at her. He asked again, "This is your last chance to answer my question.What did you tell Bianca? What are the contents of the CD? Who instructed you to do that?"
Charmaine immediately thought of an excuse. She suddenly started sobbing exaggeratedly. "I actuallydid meet Ms. Rayne in the dessert cafe that day, Mr. Crawford. That's because I've always loved andadmired you. My dad can attest that I love you so much that I sometimes forget to eat or sleep. I wasjealous of Bianca Rayne when I heard that she was going to be engaged with you. That's why I went tolook for Bianca and threatened her to leave you..."
Luke shot a glance at Charmaine's seductive face. His voice was as cold as ice. "Since you like tosleep with men so much, then I'll satisfy you today.
He spoke impassively to the four burly bodyguards. "Just don't kill her."
After saying that, he walked toward the door.
The bodyguards opened a leather briefcase in front of Charmaine. She could see an array of scaryinstruments inside: Whips, collars...
Charmaine was no stranger to such instruments, and she had tried some of them before. However, theinstruments in the briefcase were instruments of torture.
If the bodyguards used all the instruments, she would not be leaving the room alive!
That made her fearful. She did not expect the gentle-looking Luke to be so cruel!
The men smiled as they walked toward Charmaine with the whip and other instruments of torture.
As she shrieked, she blurted out her secrets in panic. "I'm sorry, Mr.
Crawford! I'll confess everything. Leia Norman asked me to do it. She’s also the one who told me tohand the CD to Bianca by any means possible!"
