Chapter 518 I Trust Him In Whatever He Does
In the mansion, Luke and the children were sitting on the couch in the living room playing a fantasyvideo game while Bianca was in the bedroom chatting with Nina on the phone.
Nina complained to Bianca that she had hit a weirdo a few days ago. Not only did he have a terribleattitude, but he had been tormenting her constantly. He wanted her to pay for his living expenses andtreated her like a maid.
Thanks to that man, she was almost losing her mind!
Bianca comforted Nina for a while before the latter felt a little better, though she remained angry.
Bianca could not help but chuckle.
Nina had been lifeless ever since that incident. Bianca had not seen her acting so lively for a long time.
As they chatted, Nina suddenly lowered her voice. Bea, have you... read the news recently?” "I wasbusy with reading textbooks and studying some of our seniors' designs, and I haven't been payingattention to the news. What's up?" Bianca said.
Nina paused for a long while before stammering, "It's... it's nothing..."
Bianca thought that Nina was hiding something from her. She persisted." What's wrong? There’ssomething wrong with your tone. We've known each other for so long, and I know you so well. Youmust be hiding something from me."
Nina remembered the warning from her boss, then she thought about how Bianca had been so kind toher.
Eventually, she gritted her teeth and spilled the beans. ’Bea, don't you know that the boss will beengaged to Leia Norman tomorrow?" "Oh? They’re getting engaged?" Bianca knew that day wouldeventually come, and she also knew that he was only putting on an act. Even so, her heart wrenched,and for a moment, she seemed lost. "I've heard about it."
Nina was disappointed in Bianca's reaction. "Bea, your man is about to be engaged to another woman.How could you be so indifferent about it? Shouldn't you grill him about it? How can you sound sononchalant? I thought the boss is devoted to you, so why would he be engaged to Leia Norman? He'sso fickle!"
Nina continued to ramble and complain about Luke, but she was also suspicious about how calmBianca seemed.
Bianca replied softly, "There are some things that I can't explain to you now, and I'll tell you all about itsome other time. I trust Luke, and no matter what he does, I know that it's because he's working hardfor our shared future. I trust him."
After the call ended, Bianca felt momentarily lost.
She opened the bedroom window and saw the twins and their father having fun in the living room.
Rainie lost the game. She whined to her Daddy and asked him to win the game for him. A while later,she made funny faces in front of her brother to distract him from the game.
Luke and Lanie doted upon the little girl. They pretended to fall for Rainie's antics and made her laugh.
Bianca was satisfied looking at the happy faces of her family.
If she had heard of Luke's engagement to another woman on another occasion, her heart might ache.Now, she thought that nothing else was important.
She trusted in Luke's capabilities of dealing with the matter, and she believed that her family wouldremain happy forever.
At the Norman residence. 1
Leia clutched the newspaper with the full spread about the union of the Crawford and Norman families.She thought that the article was nothing but a farce.
Furiously, she tore the newspaper into shreds and smashed her belongings in her room.
She screamed and wailed as though she had fallen from heaven and into the depths of hell.novelbin
Her hair was disheveled, and the exquisite makeup on her face had been ruined by tears. Sharpfragments of a broken vase cut long gashes on her arms from which fresh blood flowed freely.
She was emotionally unstable from the abject humiliation and fear she felt in her heart.
Ms. Lanf was worried that Leia might do something stupid. She called Queenie and informed her aboutLeia's tantrum.
Twenty minutes later, Queenie rushed back from her office. She also called Jack to come homeimmediately, even though he was busy with official business.
Queenie saw that Leia's room was in shambles and her arms were bleeding. "What's gotten into you,my child? Tell me what happened? What made you do all this?" She asked Leia while hugging herdearly.
Queenie frantically dressed Leia's wounds. She felt extremely sorry for her daughter. 1
Leia was her only daughter and pride and joy. Queenie had never seen her lose herself like that.
Leia pulled her bloodstained hand away and grabbed Queenie's arm. Her pale face carried a viciousand maniacal smile, which looked very unnerving.
Queenie was shocked. She wiped away her daughter's tears. "Don't frighten your mother like that, mydaughter. What's wrong? Please get a hold of yourself..."
Jack also felt sorry for his daughter. "Did someone bully you, Leia? Tell me. I'll stand up for you!"
Tears fell from Leia's eyes. Her lips were shaking, and there was no life in her gaze. "Dad, Mom, LukeCrawford had agreed to marry me and break all ties with Bianca Rayne, but I didn't expect that hewould lie to me. I saw with my own eyes today that he is harboring Bianca Rayne in a remote mansion,and they're living there happily as a family. Don't you know how my heart ached when I saw thatscene?" "Is that true, Leia?" Jack was livid. He continued to ask in disbelief, "Is he still together withthat Bianca Rayne?”
Leia laughed sarcastically and said bitterly, "I saw it with my own eyes. It can't be false. It turns out thatLuke Crawford is only putting on an act with me. His promise to marry me is nothing but a sham! Howabsurd!”
Jack became angrier. "This is ridiculous! The Crawfords have gone overboard this time. How can theybully my beloved daughter? Don't cry, Leia. I'll make sure that you get the justice you deserve. We'llcancel the marriage and demand the Crawfords to apologize!"
Leia stopped crying when she heard that her father wanted to cancel the marriage. She shook herhead frantically and said, "No, no, Dad, I love Luke. I will marry him even if it costs me my life! He mightnot have any affection for me for now, but after we are married, he will eventually fall in love with me.Can't you give us a chance? What we should do now is to drive that Bianca Rayne out of A City. Ifshe's gone, Luke's affection will come to me..." "You're blinded by your obsession, my child. Whatshould I do about you?" Queenie could not help but sigh.
She did not know why her daughter was so obsessed with Luke.
Queenie wanted to persuade her to give up her unrequited love. However, she could not bear to bringherself to do that when she saw her daughter's hollow and desperate gaze.
Queenie's usually gentle expression became stern for the first time. "We should go to Crawford Manortonight, Jack. I want an explanation from the Crawfords. Tomorrow will be Luke and Leia's engagementceremony, and I don't want any mishaps!"
Ever since Leia was young, Queenie had always given her daughter anything that she wanted. Thistime was no exception.
'There's no reason for Bianca Rayne to remain in A City!' 3
