Chapter 971 Crocodile Tears
"Yes. Shall we discuss it further in the cafe downstairs?" Hera could see that Maxine was interested.
Maxine nodded briefly, though her demeanor remained arrogant. "Don't play any tricks this time. If I findout that you're lying to me, I'll make sure that your death is horrible." "I wouldn't dare. Let's go." Herasmiled and reached out to hold Maxine's hand.
Maxine was a little suspicious when she saw how confident Hera seemed. She would like to see if Herawould pull off any tricks on her again.
The two women went into the elevator. Two burly men stood next to Maxine, in case Hera didsomething.
Hera kept quiet in case she offended them.
Meanwhile, Bianca helped Nina move to a private ward. After the caretaker arrived, she left the placewith Luke.
Bianca held Luke's hand and waited in the elevator lobby.
She remembered what Nina told her. "Nina doesn't plan to tell Mr. Mallory." "Mm." Luke nodded and didnot give his opinion.
Bianca lifted her head and looked at him while he happened to turn his head to look at her. His eyeswere as profound as the ocean.
Luke was dressed in a black suit, and he was standing straight. Bianca could not help but to lean on hisbody while at the same time wondering if he knew something but chose to hide it from her.
"Nina is having it hard living all alone," Bianca sighed, though she was impressed by Nina'sstubbornness. "I'd rather not go against her wishes, but I wouldn't want to see her being alone in thehospital. How about we tell Mr. Mallory?" "Mr. Mallory doesn't know how to take care of her. If shewants to hide it from him, then so be it. Moreover, he's not in the country now." Luke pinched her petitenose and rubbed her smooth and fair cheek.
He loved every inch of Bianca's body.
Bianca nodded in understanding and wondered why Percy did not bring Nina along with him.
Whenever he traveled out of A City, he would force Nina to go along with him. It seemed that what Ninatold her earlier was true.
The elevator door slowly opened on their floor.
Bianca was about to hold Luke's hand and go in. She saw the two people in the elevator and wassurprised.
Why would Hera be together with Maxine? The two of them seemed close too.
Bianca quickly composed herself.
Maxine's heart started beating faster when she saw Luke. She could not hide her embarrassment andquickly withdrew her hand from Hera's grip.
They had not seen each other for a while, but Luke remained handsome and noble as usual.
Hera also could not help but straighten her hair with her fingers. Luke was the one who had caused herto be arrested, but she thought that Bianca was the main culprit.
Maxine could not hold back her joy. She smiled and said, "Long time no see, cousin."
Hera also greeted him, "Long time no see, Luke."
Maxine turned her head and looked at Hera, dissatisfied.
Hera knew that Maxine liked Luke and said sheepishly, "Well, Luke was my upperclassman in highschool, so I'm just greeting him."
Bianca could not help but smile. Luke was too attractive to other women, even though his demeanorwas ice-cold.
The two women in the elevator seemed to have ignored her too.
Luke glanced coldly at the two women, then held Bianca's hand and took a step back.
Maxine glared anxiously at Bianca. "Weren't you waiting for the elevator, Luke?” "It's too crowded."Luke turned his eyes away and stared lovingly at Bianca.
Maxine was both humiliated and envious. The elevator could fit an entire gurney, and there were onlyfour people inside. It was not crowded at all." Get out!" She roared at the two bodyguards.novelbin
"Huh?" The bodyguards were surprised by the sudden order.
"Get out and wait for the next one!" Maxine pressed the door open button to keep the elevator doorsfrom closing.
The other elevator happened to stop on the same floor. Luke took Bianca's hand and went into thatelevator.
There were more people inside that elevator, but Luke did not hesitate.
Maxine ran out of her elevator and wanted to squeeze into the other one, but there was no space forher.
"Please wait for the next one, Miss. You can't fit in here." A young nurse frowned when she sawMaxine. She gently shoved her away and pressed the button to close the door.
Maxine felt aggrieved as she saw the door close.
Luke would rather squeeze with those people than take the same elevator as her!
Bianca must have told him something that ruined his impression of her!
Hera felt quite happy when she saw that. Luke might have ignored her, but she was happy to seeMaxine being humiliated that way.
She had already thought of a way to make more money from Maxine.
She was pressing the door open button. "Come in, Ms. Douglas."
Maxine entered the elevator with a gloomy expression on her face. Her bodyguards stood at the door,wondering if they should wait for the next one.
"Come on!" Maxine huffed. Her heart was burning with jealousy when she remembered how Lukehugged Bianca in his arms.
The bodyguards quickly went in.
Hera held Maxine's hand again and comforted her, "Don't be too sad." "Shut up!" Maxine annoyedlypulled her hand away, leaned on the wall, and glared at Hera coldly. "I don't need your crocodile tears.""I'm sincere." Hera noticed that her smugness had caused her words to lack emotion. "In any case, thatwoman will soon meet her end."
Maxine lifted her head and looked at the rapidly decreasing number. She wondered if Luke was goingto the lobby or the basement parking lot. Would she meet him again?
Seeing no response from Maxine, Hera continued, "That Bianca Rayne doesn't have any looks orbackground. What's so good about her, other than acting all pitiful? Ms. Douglas, after we're donedealing with her, I'll teach you how to win Luke's heart. Luke likes women who pretend to be weak andpliable. You can try changing your demeanor."
Maxine finally had a response, but it was not what Hera expected. "What do you know? You don't haveto do anything extra, but if you can't finish the job I ask you to do, you'll die a horrible death." "Don'tworry. I have full confidence in that person, but he's not in A City for now. He'll only be back in about amonth." Hera stepped out of the elevator on the first floor. "Let's go and look for a cafe with a privateroom. You'll definitely agree to my plan."
