Chapter 531 Fate Is Kind To Us
There was a reason why Peyton Schmidt changed his statement abruptly. Even though he was inprison, a large portion of his property had disappeared, and no one had been able to find itswhereabouts.
However, Luke managed to find out that Peyton had a mistress and an illegitimate child.
Before he was arrested, Peyton had secretly moved the mother and child to Switzerland and hadtransferred his property under the child's name.
That was how Luke threatened Peyton, saying that if Peyton did not follow his instructions, he wouldexpose the whereabouts of his property, and the mother and child's lives would be put in danger.novelbin
Peyton was resentful toward the threat, but he had no choice.
Luke had taken extreme care in ensuring that there were no flaws in every step of his plan.
Any flaw would result in his plan's failure.
After Bianca listened to the concise but comprehensive narration, she could not help but be impressedby the man's attention to detail.
Ten years ago, Bianca was only a timid student, but Luke was already mature and cunning.
She knew that she could not compare to him.
Bianca could not help but say, "Ten years ago, I was only an introverted bookworm who didn't knowhow to interact with people, but you're already negotiating business deals... No wonder I stoppedseeing you at the high school in the small town. It turns out that you went home to take over the family
business. Didn't you know that after you left, I would wait by your usual haunts, such as the basketballcourt, the cafeteria, and your classroom... Every time, I hoped to see you, but every time I would leavealone. I thought that we would never meet again, but fate was kind to us, and we eventually found eachother again." "All's well that ends well." Luke hugged Bianca tightly and caressed her smooth and fairskin. He was also reliving his memories.
His grandfather had ordered him to return to take over the family business, and he did not have thechance to say goodbye to her.
He thought that his crush on Bianca was one-sided, but he did not expect that Bianca had the samefeelings for him too. Undoubtedly, he was lucky.
"The doctor said that I only have to rest for another week before I can walk like normal again. I want togo back to work," Bianca said with a smile.
She had stayed at home for about three months. She had nothing to do at home except for readingbooks, and she was already extremely bored.
If she did not go to work, she would feel completely out of touch with society.
"Alright." Luke looked at her with an ambiguous smile. "You really can't stay put. Other women dreamabout a man that would sustain their lavish lifestyle without having to work, but you want to go back towork so eagerly. Even when you're resting at home, you're still working..."
Luke knew that in the past three months, Bianca had been completing work milestones and acceptingprivate commissions. She sat in front of the computer, drawing designs every day. Sometimes, hethought that she was busier than him. He did not know what to say about her.
"I like being busy with work. Work makes me satisfied. If I don't work, I'll feel worried somehow. I guessI'm not meant to enjoy my life. Ah..." Bianca said jokingly.
Suddenly, she yelped. "What happened?" Luke was nervous.
"Our baby. It's moving." Bianca placed Luke's hand on her stomach.
It was Bianca's second pregnancy, and the bulge was already showing at five months. It was her firsttime feeling the fetus move.
Luke caressed Bianca's stomach with his calloused hand. He could feel slight movement.
The movement was as light as a butterfly flapping its wings, but he was amazed by it.
The baby in Bianca's womb was the product of their love.
When Bianca was pregnant with the twins, they did not have any interactions outside of carnalintercourse. Luke had not caressed her bulging stomach gently or enjoyed a loving family and asuccessful career.
Luke felt truly blissful.
Meanwhile, Leia, who had been spoiled and pampered ever since she had entered the Norman family,had not stopped crying for the past few days.
She did not expect that her last trump card was rendered useless before she could even play it!
What was even more unexpected was that the emergence of the CD did not affect Luke at all. A manwho looked the same as he took the fall for him!
She wanted her father to stand up for her, but what she received was Luke's insincere apology in frontof the media.
That was not what she wanted!
What she wanted was the title of Mrs. Crawford. However, she ended up with nothing...
Most unexpectedly, the public opinion that had sided with her had taken a dramatic turn. Her shamefulpast was once again brought to the limelight. The media had even managed to find Dexter Shaw, thegambling addict who was her birth father!
In the interview, Dexter cried and complained about his daughter's merciless deeds. He had beenterminally ill, and he went to look for Leia. Not only did the woman not recognize him, but she treatedhim like a panhandler, hired some people to beat him up, and ditched him in the outskirts of the city.
Dexter also produced some evidence in case the public did not believe him.
The video that was recorded in secret was not very clear, but Leia's face was clearly seen.
In the video, Leia was looking down upon Dexter arrogantly as though she was looking at a worm. Thefilthy language she used to insult Dexter also shocked the netizens!
[Oh my god! Is that really Leia Norman, my pure goddess?] [Oh my, I can't believe that the pure LeiaNorman on the screen can be so deplorable in real life...] (That can't be... my goddess... I've beenfollowing her since her debut... I can't believe that it's her true character... No, no, no, I can't believeit...] [What's there not to believe? A well-mannered girl wouldn’t behave like what she did in the video!]
Leia's already tarnished reputation dropped even further. Even her company's PR campaign did little tosave her.
All she could do was to hide at home and wait anxiously for her adoptive parents to deal with thenegative press.
She was not going to give up just like that.
After calming down at home, she suddenly thought of someone!
Soon, a hint of malice flashed in her lifeless eyes! 1
