Gordan looked at him. "Aren't you going up?" "It's already late. Our children are waiting for us at home." Luke felt blissful as he looked at Bianca. Gordan cringed whenever Luke acted lovey-dovey. He shuddered, clicked his tongue, and said, "Alright. I'll go and look for you at your office tomorrow." He was on a vacation, but he would rather keep himself occupied with work so that Vivian would not bother him. "Mm." Luke and Bianca got in the car. While Luke reversed the car, Bianca could not help but smile as she watched Gordan and Vivian go into the hotel. "Do you think that Gordan will call you?" "Yes, he will," Luke said confidently. He had not driven for half a mile when his phone began to ring. He answered it and turned on the speaker. "#%$#%$% you! Why did you only get one room for Vivian and me?" Gordan was blurting curses over the phone. When the hotel manager brought him and Vivian to the suite and gave them two access cards, he realized that Luke had tricked
Vivian smiled awkwardly. "I wasn't used to the bed…" "Was the bed comfortable?" Bianca asked out of concern. "It was comfortable. There's no problem with it." Vivian was worried that Bianca might switch hotels for her, so she added, "I'll get used to it in another day or two." She did not want to be separated from Gordan, and she woke up very early in the morning so that she could look at him first thing in the morning. Bianca knew what she was thinking and nodded. "That's good to hear. Right, did Gordan do something to you after he ended the call last night?" Vivian's smile froze on her face. Gordan did not want to be alone with her. After the call last night, he tried to rent another room from the hotel manager. The hotel manager told him that the hotel was fully occupied. After that, he yelled at Vivian in the suit, telling her not to come out of her room if there was nothing urgent. Then, he took his suitcase, entered one of the rooms, and locked the door. "Vivian
Meanwhile, Leia stepped out of the elevator and turned around to urge Charmaine. "You're so slow. Walk faster." Charmaine gritted her teeth. She would not have carried Leia's bags if not that Leia had paid for her shopping. Those bags were very heavy. "You're walking too fast," she could not help but grumble. Leia stopped walking and waited for her. "Why are you slower than a pregnant woman? Stop fooling around, Charmaine!" 'I'd like to see if you can walk as fast when you're carrying ten shopping bags!' Charmaine thought. When Charmaine got closer, Leia started walking again. "I'll be going to the hotel for a tasting session with Brody. Do you want to come?" "Sure," Charmaine replied. She was not going to let go of a chance to eat delicious food, and she was also quite curious about Leia's fiance. If she got to know him better, he might introduce her to a wealthy man. Leia and Charmaine found their car in the parking lot. When Leia was about to get into her car, a woman
Leia grumbled under her breath when Queenie rejected her offer. The handbag was not meant for Queenie anyway. If she did not want it, Leia would keep it for herself. She put the handbag back into the shopping bag and said, "Can I discuss something with you, Mom?" Queenie picked up the knitting needles and looked at her. "What is it?" "The wedding date is getting close, and we're still overwhelmed with work. I was thinking of getting Bianca to help me with the gown fitting and the guest list," Leia said. To help Hera, Leia had to lure Bianca out somehow. However, it would be suspicious if she asked Bianca to meet her without any reason. Asking her to help out at the wedding was the best excuse. Queenie stopped knitting. They were indeed quite overwhelmed with the preparations. She had started knitting the sweater before she met the Hilton family, and she was not done with it yet. She would not have the free time to pick up her knitting needles if Leia had not gone to the h
Rainie nodded her head earnestly. "You look nice, Aunt Vivian. Mommy said that we shouldn't lie, so I'm not lying to you. Isn't that so, Lanie?" Lanie was not as talkative as his sister, though he nodded and said, "Mm." Vivian's smile became wider as she said to Bianca. "I love your children, Sis." They were true angels. "Tommy knew that you're in A City since yesterday. He's been saying that he wants to meet you," Bianca said. Her children seem to be very friendly toward Vivian. "I miss him too," Vivian said with a smile. Her heart felt warm as she took the milk bottle in her hands. Bianca drove the car back to the mansion. She did not see Luke's car in the garage and knew that he was not back yet. As she unfastened her seatbelt, she gave him a call. The call was answered after two rings. "Bea." Luke's resonant voice came in through the phone. "Are you still in the company?" Bianca asked. "I'm on my way back," Luke said. "There's a bit of traffic, so I'll be delayed.
"Vivian?" Gordan instantly frowned when he heard that name. "Why can't she leave me alone?" Bianca and Vivian were bringing dinner out of the kitchen when they heard what Gordan said. Vivian's smile froze on her face. She knew that Gordan did not like her, but her heart ached when she had to hear him say that. She seemed dejected as she placed the dishes on the table. Bianca looked at the two and sighed. "Gordan, I've invited Vivian here for dinner." Gordan might not be happy, but he dared not offend Bianca. After all, she was the woman he respected the most. He looked at the dishes that Vivian brought out and said mockingly, "Can that be eaten? Did you drug the food?" Vivian shook her head and explained, "I didn't." Ray had drugged Gordan in Moscow because he wanted to help his elder sister hasten her relationship with Gordan. Even after Gordan was drugged, he locked himself in the room. From then on, he thought that Vivian had drugged him. Vivian tried to explain
Vivian, standing behind the door, felt dejected when she heard Gordan's room door close. She hoped that Gordan would care for her, even just a little bit… There were no sounds beyond the door. The sound insulation between the rooms of the presidential suite was great. She could not hear what was happening in the other room. … By the next day, the news that Luke had enlisted Gordan's help had spread in the Crawford family. Allison also knew about it. She did not know who Gordan was, but she knew that he was a very capable investigator! Gordan was a notorious figure in the international scene. If he helped Luke, he would bring unwanted trouble for her! Also, she was running out of money. She hoped that the incident would soon blow over so that she could sell those antiques. The more she thought about it, the more flustered she got. She drove to Bianca's office to find her. The front desk assistant instantly gave Bianca a call on the internal line when she saw the arro
"You…" Allison's face changed several shades of red because of her anger. She glared at her son, and the signs of old age appeared on her face. Deep wrinkles appeared on her face, and she seemed to have aged several decades instantly. That shocked Bianca. It was the second time she had seen Allison's skin change so drastically, but Allison seemed oblivious to it. Luke was Allison's son, but ever since he reunited with Bianca, he did not ensure that her whims were satisfied, and sometimes he had even sided with Bianca to bully her. Allison felt more and more like an outsider and a burden, and her hatred toward Bianca grew. She thought that it was the wrong decision to leave her with Kevin Rayne. She should have tossed the baby Bianca into the sea! That would have saved her a lot of trouble in the future. The atmosphere in the office was tense. Neither the mother nor the son was willing to back down. However, Luke was a more composed person than Allison, and Allison found h
