Female Novel
Chapter 1856
Allison was a little surprised. Then, she burst into laughter. Her grin was too wide without her realizingit, which caused her skin to stretch and left her in pain.
Fortunately, she was wearing a hat and a mask. Otherwise, everyone would have been able to see hercontorted features.
Luke took in a cold breath when he heard her laughing, and his face still remained composed.
Allison calmed down when she was no longer in pain. Recently, she seldom took the medicationprescribed by Luca. Hence, her skin had become much more sensitive. Sometimes, when she did largemovements, her wrinkled skin would stretch and cause her to be in pain.
She looked at Luke, and the latter did not show any expression of concern.
Allison was used to it and did not need his concern either. All she cared about was the money shereceived.
"Did you think I wouldn't know about what had happened during my time in prison? If you still loveBianca, then why were you two sleeping in separate rooms? At the end of the day, you're just agermaphobe and still mind her past." She was not bothered about whether or not her words wouldanger Luke. After all, everyone had the same thought, so she might as well just say it out.
Luke tilted his head and looked at Allison, but it only made him irritated.
'It seems that she has been too free and started gossiping with the servants to know about pastmatters.
'Otherwise, how would she know that Bianca and I slept in separate rooms back then?'
Seeing that Luke was not talking, Allison then said, "Actually, this isn't a big problem. Just divorce if youguys have no more feelings for each other. Besides, given your current situation and Bianca's unstableemotions, you'll likely gain custody of the kids."
Luke opened his eyes and looked at her coldly. All this while, it had been Bianca helping her out, yetAllison said such a thing. "Are you done talking?"
Only then did Allison notice that Luke was angry. She kept quiet because Luke's cold gaze seemed asif he would throw her out of the plane at any moment.
The plane slowly took off.
Luke shut his eyes and ignored Allison.
The flight attendant came to serve desserts and drinks. Allison saw the food that was placed before herand noticed it was almost noon.
She woke up late and did not get to have breakfast before Luke arrived to pick her up.
She was a little hungry now...
Even though they were in first class, there were still people around. Allison dared not take off her maskin public. She had no choice but to bear with her hunger and wait until she got off the plane.
On the other hand.
It was noon. Queenie came to the provincial capital and gave Enoch a call.
Enoch immediately met up with her when he received the call from Queenie.
Due to his unique status, Queenie booked a private room in a nearby Western restaurant and waitedfor Enoch to show up.
After 15 minutes, Enoch showed up.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Norman. A member of the public suddenly appeared in the office and I had to handletheir matters first, so I'm late.”
Queenie shook her head, indicating it was alright. "It's alright. Have a seat."
Enoch sat opposite Queenie. Before the latter could speak, he asked, "I'm guessing your trip here thistime is regarding Luca, right?"
"You're a smart guy, Enoch." Queenie nodded. Yesterday, after Luca brought the kids back home, shethought about it for the entire night and chose to believe in Luca.
After all, she had believed from the very start that Luca was not the type who would destroy otherpeople's families.
Queenie thought that Luca was a good person. If it were not because of Bianca, she would not haveoverthought matters.
"Seeing that you called me out today, you must have already checked things through.” Enoch wasexcited. 'If she has found out that something is going on between Luca and Luke, she'll definitely stoptheir relationship at all costs.”
At that time, not only would Luca be a failure but her intention of getting Luke and living a good lifethrough him would be gone.
The thought of it made Enoch excited.
'It's her fault for not choosing me!'
Queenie noticed the excited look on Enoch's face and felt disgusted.novelbin
She did not expect that in addition to stalking, Enoch also had a strong sense of revenge. 'Thank GodLuca didn't like him. If she had ended up liking him, something bad would've happened in the future.' "Idid verify things. Actually, things are not like what you think." Queenie took a deep breath andsuppressed the uneasiness within her.
In the past, she would have absolutely avoided talking with someone like Enoch.
Enoch was stunned and stopped smiling. 'Things are not like what I think?'
"Did you make a mistake, Mrs. Norman?"
Queenie shook her head and said, "Luca is an employee of T Corporation. Because of fate, she gotclose with the kids. When Luke is working overtime, she would go over to spend time with the kids. It'snot like what you think."
"Impossible." Enoch immediately denied it. He did not believe that a single man and a single womanstaying in the same house would still remain in an innocent relationship.
"Stop being stubborn, Enoch. All you saw was Luca entering the villa, and not what had happenedinside. I've already clarified the matter. I'm only telling you this today so that you won't let your mindstray anymore. The reason Luca rejected you was because she thought you guys weren't a match andnothing else. From now on, don't think about unnecessary things. After all, if such a thing were tospread, it'll do you no good," Queenie advised him.
Listening to Queenie siding with Luca made Enoch have a dark expression.
Queenie noticed it and sighed. "Enoch, you're a young lad. You should know that you can't force arelationship."
"I know," Enoch replied immediately. If it were not for Jack, he would have started barking.
'They claimed that she was a good woman with clean family background. In reality, she's such a playerand a woman who sells herself for money. She made me waste so much time and effort.'
Hence, no matter what Queenie said, it would not change Enoch's perspective.
Besides, he found her nagging rather irritating.
Queenie was dumbfounded.
Enoch snapped out of it and noticed that the words he blurted out were rather rash.
He scratched his head and explained, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Norman. I know that you can't force arelationship. The reason I told you about it was that Mr. Crawford is your son-in-law. Since they're bothinnocent, then that's great."
Queenie let out a breath of relief. Looking at his expression now, nothing seemed to be wrong.
"It's good if you're able to think things through, Enoch."
Enoch got up and said, "Yes, I've thought through it, Mrs. Norman. If there's nothing else, I'll excusemyself."
Queenie stopped him. "Aren't you going to have lunch?"
"There's a lot of work in the office. I have to rush back. I'll just order something and have it delivered.You should enjoy your meal. I won't bother you anymore," Enoch said. At this moment, he despisedQueenie as well. 'She looks gentle, but in truth, she's not at all reliable.
'Otherwise, why would she have introduced Luca to me?'
‘Now, she's even helping them clear their names. Honestly speaking, the reason she came looking forme and said those things is just that she doesn't want to air her family's dirty laundry in public.'
