Chapter 241 Daddy Is Bringing Mommy Home
Leia felt a lot better after she replied to her mother's message. She opened the trailer door and calledout gently, "Come over here for a bit, Marie."
Her tone of voice sounded like a noble beckoning for their servant or an owner calling for their pet.
Marie was not happy when she heard that, though she faked a smile and jogged over obediently. "Doyou need me for anything?" 'Of course I need you for something!' Leia thought as she looked at Mariewith disdain.
'Can't you be a little smarter as an assistant?' "Why don't you ever address me whenever I talk to you?”Leia said warmly.
The surroundings might be dark, but Leia's impeccable features had seemed to brighten the night alittle.
Members of the production crew passed by while carrying props.
"It's like this. You're six years younger than me, and I'm not sure how I should address you," Marie saidawkwardly.novelbin
"Ms. Leia" sounded too formal.
She did not feel close enough to Leia to call her by only her name. After all, she was only a lowlyassistant.
Marie could never forget the humiliation she suffered when Leia stepped on her fingers.
Leia smiled genially when she heard Marie's words. "You can just call me Leia."
Some of the crew members overheard what Leia said.
"You're too kind, Leia!" "I shouldn't have taken my degree in photography! It's much better to be Leia'sassistant!"
As they gossiped, they praised Leia's generosity and friendliness.
Leia smiled, then went back into her trailer to change.
While Marie applied some makeup remover to a cotton pad, she thought to herself, 'Those people inthe production crew call her 'Leia' because they're her seniors. If I call her 'Leia,' she might not actuallylike it.'
With that thought, Marie decided that she should find a more influential benefactor and get away fromLeia as soon as possible.
She would scale greater heights and be a hundred times more glamorous than Leia Norman!
On the drive back to the city center.
The RV drove into the downtown area. Leia was not in the mood to look at the bustle of the city outsidebut instead kept on calling Xavier's number.
Eventually, at about seven o'clock, Xavier answered the call.
Leia sat up straight and furrowed her brows. "Why didn't you answer the call sooner?"
Xavier had only gotten out of the police station and regained the use of his phone. "Why are youlooking for me?"
Leia answered, "I have something to ask you. You're the only one I trust who can give me advice. If youdon't have anything else, let's meet up."
Xavier continued to walk out of the police station while he lit a cigarette. ’ Alright, you decide on aplace.’
Having dinner with a famous celebrity should be a secretive affair. Even so, their last encounter wascaught on camera and went in the news anyway.
However, if not for that, Xavier would not have the opportunity to show everyone in the country that hehad a legal marriage certificate with Bianca Rayne!
Xavier took a drag of his cigarette and puffed out a cloud of light blue smoke. His lips curled upwardinto a smug grin when he thought of that.
Xavier was about to get into his car when Mrs. Gideon rushed up to him from behind and stepped intohis way.
"You can't frame my daughter, Xavier Tanner!" Her voice was hoarse from screaming.
A lawyer followed behind Mrs. Gideon.
The forty-year-old woman pounced on Xavier and grabbed his collar, though she was quickly shovedaway.
"Have you lost your mind? Do you want to accompany your daughter in jail? ’ Xavier looked at Mrs.Gideon, who had fallen onto the ground, with a savage gaze.
The lawyer quickly went over and helped Mrs. Gideon to her feet.
"You're a wicked person, Xavier Tanner!" Mrs. Gideon was laughing out of anger. "You said that mydaughter was the one who orchestrated her colleague's grandfather's abduction? Can you say thatyou're not involved? I think that you're the mastermind!"
Xavier remained calm. "Mrs. Gideon, I'm good friends with Yvonne, and you are acquaintances with myparents. If I’ve done anything wrong, I will admit to it instead of framing it on a nineteen-year-old girl. Ican say that I'm not involved in the abduction at all."
Mrs. Gideon laughed as though she had heard a very funny joke. "You said that you're not involved?One day, the truth will prevail!"
Xavier frowned and continued to speak, "Yvonne knows that I love Bianca, my current wife, and thatwas why she gave me the suggestion to abduct Bianca's grandfather and force her into a marriage. Ithought that Yvonne is too young to understand that a relationship born out of compulsion will not lastlong. If I can win my wife's heart by normal means, why would I need to do that immoral deed? I’ve alsoadvised Yvonne not to do anything rash, but she didn't seem to pay any heed."
The lawyer remained silent.
However, Mrs. Gideon began to waver. On one hand, she thought that even her daughter might berash, she would not be so stupid to singlehandedly abduct the grandfather of her rival in love.
On the other hand, Xavier seemed too composed, as though he really did nothing wrong.
"Let's go, Mrs. Gideon," the lawyer urged.
Mrs. Gideon left with the lawyer in a daze. She was still confused.
Xavier knew that if the police had arrested Yvonne and were beginning to investigate the case,"someone" must have been pulling the strings.
Fortunately, all the evidence pointed to Yvonne!
However, Xavier was angry at the fact that Luke was helping his wife.
Luke and the children were at the hospital to bring Mommy home. Jason opened the car door.
Lanie and Rainie were very well-behaved.
"Careful, Rainie..." Rainie quickly bent down and grabbed Rainie's leg to help her hop into the car. 2
Lanie was a lot more nimble. He took a step into the car and hopped inside like a gallant price. 1
Luke stood behind Bianca. His hand, adorned by an expensive luxury wristwatch, held Bianca's waistand helped her get into the car.
Jason closed the car door after all four of them had gone inside.
Even though Bianca had such a winding history with the boss, Jason felt that she was a lucky personfor having someone to support her in her toughest times.
