Chapter 609 Her Face Instantly Contorted!
The extravagant red carpet started from the paved path outside the hotel and stretched inside. On bothsides of the carpet were reporters from various media outlets as well as paparazzi.
Cameras flashed non-stop. It was brighter than the sun in the sky.
A fleet of luxury cars was parked outside, indicating the elevated statuses of their owners.
After all, those invited to the party were luminaries in the political and business circles. It was a greathonor to be invited by Provincial Committee Secretary Jack Norman. That was a confirmation of theirstatus, as well as a great opportunity to get closer to him.
At about nine o'clock, a black Bentley slowed down and stopped not far away from the hotel.
The car door opened.
A tall and well-built man stepped out.
He had impeccable facial features that were unforgettable.
Luke Crawford extended a hand toward the woman in the car.
An ivory-fair hand gently covered his palm. Then, a pair of slender legs in diamond-encrusted flatscame out of the car.
The woman was dressed in a loose light yellow gown that covered her bulging stomach. Her fair skinseemed even more fair and tender.
Tm a little nervous..." Bianca seemed timid.
Luke tightened his arms around her, took in her light fragrance, and gently kissed her earlobe. "Don'tbe afraid, I'm here. You only have to take care of yourself at the banquet. Don't worry, the reunion willnot happen."
Bianca was trembling lightly. Her tense face relaxed a little, though there was a hint of helplessness inher eyes. "I don't know if I'm doing the right thing. Julie had so much hope that she would be the realMs. Norman. If she knows that her dream is crushed because of me, she'll definitely hate me, right?She helped me out when I was accused of cheating, but now I'm
Luke gently raised Bianca's chin. "You can't be nice to everyone. Julie has usurped your place in theNorman family and took your parents away from you. That is a mistake that shouldn't have happened.Now that we have a chance to correct the mistake, why shouldn't we? Moreover, there will be a timewhen the truth is exposed. If Mr. and Mrs. Norman find out by then that their daughter is an impostor, itwould be a serious blow to them. Would you want to see that happen?" "I..." Bianca stared at him andinterjected softly, "You don't have to say any more. I know what I should do."
The reporters did not let any detail of the banquet slip past their eyes.
The cameras flashed, capturing every single movement by the Norman family.
Julie was, of course, in the spotlight.
Her straight hair was permed into a big wave, and she wore a silver and diamond tiara and a custom-tailored gown. As she walked, pink petals danced around her feet, as though she was a princess thathad emerged from the flowers. It was a splendid sight.
Leia was dressed in a jade-green dress with a deep neckline. She looked inexplicably charming.
Ever since her pure image was ruined, she took it in stride and went the sexy route.
Many reporters were secretly comparing the two daughters of the Normans. They wondered if the pureone or the sexy one was better.
Some people also wondered if Leia's position in the family would change, considering that a birthdaughter was better than an adoptive daughter.
"Julie, you might be approached by the media when the banquet starts. You just have to make anappearance and say something. Leave the rest to your parents. Don't worry," Queenie said as shelovingly patted Julie's head.
Julie held the hem of her dress and smiled sweetly. "Yes, Mom. Thank you."
Queenie patted Julie's head again and turned to speak to Leia. "You have more public appearancesthan your Elder Sister, Leia. Won't you guide her?"
Leia held Julie's elbow and pretended to be close to Julie. "Don't worry, Mom. Nothing will go wrong ifI'm next to her."
Queenie nodded and reminded the daughters of a few more things before going off to attend to othermatters. She trusted Leia completely.
The other female socialites crowded around Julie.
They used to flatter Leia. However, they were currently fawning over Julie without knowing her trueidentity. Leia felt ignored.
Julie had never received that much attention. She felt a little lost.
However, she felt happy that many young women from wealthy families were trying to curry favor withher. It felt so good to be superior to others.
Leia glared at those people coldly, mocking their idiocy!
Charmaine, who always had a good relationship with Leia, remained by Leia's side, unlike the othersocialites.
Leia hated Charmaine ever since she betrayed her to Luke.
However, Leia thought that Charmain would be useful in the future, so she pretended to forgive her andinvited her to the banquet.novelbin
Charmaine glanced at Julie's face and smirked. "I'm sorry for what I did to you before, Leia, but I hadno other choice. You should know how cruel that Luke can be, but I can promise you that it won'thappen again... Don't worry, I'll be your most loyal follower even if Julie is back. She can't possiblybreak our friendship apart."
Leia chuckled sarcastically, though she instantly resumed her composure." It's all water under thebridge by now. Just don't disappoint me from now on." "I swear that I won't..." When Charmaine wasabout to make her promise, there was a commotion from outside!
Leia turned her head to see. Her face contorted the moment she saw Luke and Bianca!
All the cameras were pointing at the couple.
