Chapter 271 Luke's Extreme Possessiveness
Bianca was visibly surprised when she saw Walter sitting on the couch.
Walter was dressed in a fitting business suit and wore a pair of gold- rimmed glasses on his face. Helooked diligent and capable like a societal elite. "Good morning, Ms. Rayne." He smiled and greetedBianca.
Rainie ran to Bianca's side when she saw her and twirled around happily. ’ Look, Mommy. Uncle Waltergave me this hairband. Doesn't it look nice?"
Bianca's troubles were not relieved by the little girl's cheerful laughter.
She picked up Rainie in her arms and squeezed a smile. "It looks nice. You're the nicest little girl in thewhole world," she said.
The little girl's laughter echoed in the living room.
Rainie kissed Bianca on the cheek and said, "I love Mommy the most!"
Lanie was sitting on the couch, channel surfing with the remote control in his hand.
He rolled his eyes toward his sister’s childish actions. 'How vain,' he thought.
It was the first time Walter had seen the two children interact with Bianca at home. He was quitesurprised at how close they were.
The two children were mature at a young age, and they would not be so intimate with any randomperson.
Some women had tried to get close to Luke by offering to take care of the two children. They wanted togain the children's favor, but the two intelligent children had always exposed their lies...
He was shocked that the two children were living so harmoniously with Bianca, as though she weretheir birth mother.
Bianca slightly nodded at Walter. Her face looked dejected without the slightest hint of a smile. "Goodmorning, Mr. Long."
She once again confirmed Walter's renown.
There had been a serious case in Loughton. Several wealthy playboys from eminent families had gang-raped a sixteen-year-old girl and caused her death from excessive bleeding.
The girl's family might be poor, but her parents did not accept any offers of monetary compensationfrom the families. Instead, they ignored their threats and swore to bring those perpetrators underjustice.
Seeing that their threats did not work on the girl's family, they announced openly, "Any lawyer whotakes on the case will not live to see the first day of the trial!"
No one in the entire Loughton dared to take up the case, except for Walter long.
Under immense pressure and the lack of evidence, Walter managed to find some leads and, with hisimpeccable logic, overturned the case for the young girl and managed to get the perpetratorssentenced to life in prison.
Walter Long rose to fame after that case.
Since then, his name had appeared in many invitation lists of dinners among society's elite.
"I have something to discuss with you in private, Ms. Rayne." Walter pushed his glasses and coughedgently when he saw that Bianca was in a daze.
"Babies, Mommy has something to discuss with Uncle Walter. Go into your bedroom and play. Lanie,help your sister complete the jigsaw puzzle. I have a present for you later." Bianca tousled the twochildren's hair and asked them to go to their room.
Bianca knew that Walter was here to talk about her divorce case.
She poured a cup of hot tea for Walter. "Here's some tea, Mr. Long." "Thank you." Walter took the cupand sipped it several times, then took out a document from his briefcase. "The paperwork is complete,Ms. Rayne. Now, you can bring the case to the court so that we can start the divorce proceedings.You'll have to bring your identification document, your marriage certificate, and any proof of property ifyou need anything divided. After that, the court will give you a date for the trial and serve the papers toXavier Tanner. When that happens, let me know the date and time of the trial, and I will defend you incourt. I've listed down the steps in the document. You can read through it when you're free."
Bianca sat on the couch with a vacant expression on her face. "Mr. Long, if I proceed with the divorce,what are the chances that I win?" "A hundred percent. I've never lost a case before," Walter saidconfidently.
He was not boasting. He had absolute confidence that he would win.
After all, not many people could say that they were the best lawyer in the country.
Bianca lowered her head to look at the document in front of her, then lifted her eyes to look at Walter'ssmiling face. Her hands trembled slightly.
A long while later, she lifted her head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Long, but I don't think I'll be needingthis for now. I don't think I'll proceed with the divorce."
Walter looked at Bianca with disbelief. No one else knew better how badly Bianca wanted to bedivorced from Xavier.
She had called Walter multiple times to be updated about the progress of the paperwork, so why didshe suddenly change her mind?
Moreover, Luke was an incredibly possessive man. He would not tolerate Bianca to be another man'swife.
What happened?
"Can you tell me the reason, Ms. Rayne? Does Luke know about this? Is there something wrong withhim?" Walter was an intelligent man. He could see from Bianca's expression that something was amiss,which raised his suspicions.
Bianca remained calm, but she could not hide the sorrow from her voice. ’ It's my problem. It hasnothing to do with Luke. Please give me some time to reconsider this, Mr. Long."
Walter placed the document on the table. "Alright, you can contact me again when you've made upyour mind. I'll be leaving for now. Goodbye."
As soon as Walter closed the door behind him, Bianca’s forced composure instantly shattered.
She was frustrated, aggrieved, dejected, and sad. All those feelings had been brewing inside her.novelbin
She had never felt such despair in her life.
At that moment, someone banged at the front door of the apartment, as though they were kicking thedoor with their high heels.
Bianca stood up from the couch and opened the front door. Allison, dressed in luxury clothes, walkedin...
"Why... why are you here?" Bianca blurted in surprise.
She remembered the two children in the room and gripped the doorknob tightly. She did not wantAllison to come in...
