"What are you doing?" Verona did not understand why her husband was apologizing.To her, it was not a serious matter. If Luke really pursued the matter, the worst-case scenario would be to go to court. They most definitely could afford to hire a famous lawyer."Shut up!" Irving felt ashamed. Originally, he thought it would be great to build a relationship with the Crawford family, but he did not expect that this was all plotted by his own daughter from beginning to end. As her father, he ended up being used by her!Verona wanted to express her dissatisfaction, but seeing that Irving’s expression had turned ugly, she held herself back. She glared at Luke, stood up, and took Maxine's hand. "Let's go.""Mom..." Maxine did not want to leave, but she had no choice considering how awkward the situation was."Haven’t you embarrassed us enough?" Irving also wanted to leave. He had lost all his dignity and stared at her fiercely.‘Spiking someone’s drink and taking an indecent photo just
"Do you think that there’s nothing I can do if you don’t want to tell me the truth? I'm canceling the partnership right now." Irving was disappointed when he saw how she refused to tell the truth."Dad, I told you that I don't know anything about the drug. We’ve already signed the contracts, and if we back out now, we’ll lose a lot of money!" Maxine panicked when she heard that her father wanted to pull back his funds.It was a trivial matter to back out of the contract as Capital Corp could afford it, but Abel was no ordinary man.If they canceled the contract, Abel would be furious and take revenge. She would not be able to defend herself at all!Maxine had heard from Hera Sanchez that Abel was so powerful that he could make someone disappear without a trace. If such a man was unhappy and decided to go after her, she would be helpless."Maxine, what else are you hiding from me?" Irving clenched his fist. If Verona were not standing in front of Maxine, the other side of Maxine’s
Eler seemed to be in a daze. It took her a while to come to her senses after hearing Bianca's voice. She nodded and said, "I've brought you the medicine, Miss." Bianca knew that she was behaving like that because she had met Shanks. "Bring it to me," she said. To ensure that the baby was safe, she tried not to get out of bed. Eler handed her the medicine. Bianca opened it and downed it without complaint. To her, the most important thing now was keeping the baby safe. By now, she had some affection for the baby. Eler brought Bianca a glass of water after Bianca finished the medicine. "Please wash your mouth." "Thanks," Bianca said. She finished the water and handed the glass back to Eler. "Miss…" Eler wanted to say something. "Is it about Shanks?" Bianca could instantly tell what she wanted to say. "Mm. I think that I'm useless." Eler was dejected. Bianca sighed. "Useless" was not the correct term to describe someone in love, but she had to admit that Eler fell in
Luke was relieved at first, but he became nervous again. He carefully stepped inside and saw the woman. The woman looked exactly like Bianca. His eyes opened wide at that instant. His legs froze, and he refused to take another step forward. "Bea…" Luke opened his mouth, but his throat was dry, and his voice was forced. The woman sat on the bed, hugging her knees and shivering. She was cackling maniacally and shrieking as though she did not hear Luke. When she lifted her head, the scar on her neck was clearly seen. The scene stabbed Luke's eyes like a knife. She was his Bianca, but she was also not his Bianca! "All of you are bad guys! Bad guys!" The woman tore her clothes but soon clenched them tightly. "Don't touch me! Get lost! Go away, now!" No one dared to step closer to the bed while she continued to behave erratically. She threw a pillow at Luke and screamed, "Go away! All of you are bad guys!" The foul-smelling pillow landed on Luke's face, but he did not dodge.
Bianca's water broke. The bedsheets were gradually stained with a mixture of amniotic fluid and blood. Abel grinned even sider when he saw the woman slumped on the bed. He sauntered over casually and checked her breath. Bianca was still breathing, albeit her breath was very shallow. "It's finally time." Abel laughed brazenly. He had been waiting for this moment for very long. Bianca was wheeled into the operating theater. Shanks was preparing for the operation. Abel came in through the door and said, "Take this opportunity to change her face too." Shanks was wiping his instruments with a sterilized cloth. He paused for a while before saying, "Are you sure you want to do it now?" "She'll have to go under anyway. To you, a C-section and plastic surgery are minor procedures." Abel thought of achieving his goal in one shot. Bianca's water broke, and there was a threat of miscarriage. After conducting an examination, Abel decided to perform a C-section. Abel did not want to
The room was quiet save for Shanks occasionally flipping the pages. The siblings did not do anything. An hour later, the effects of the anesthesia wore off, and Bianca slowly came to. She opened her eyes with much difficulty. She could feel pain all over her body. Noticing Bianca's movements, Shanks put the magazine away, glanced at the drip bottle, and looked at her. "How do you feel?" Without the effects of the anesthesia, Bianca thought that her entire body was in pain. She opened her lips slightly and found that they were numb. "Hurts." Bianca's weakness lasted for only one second. She remembered that she had just delivered and asked, "Where is my child?" "The operation was successful. The child is with Abel," Shanks replied. Bianca took a deep breath. After bearing the baby for nine months, she did not have the right to carry the baby in her arms. "It's a girl," Abel said. Silent tears flowed down Bianca's face when she thought that the baby girl could not remain
After he finished speaking, the baby cried even louder. Her face was red. Bianca's heart wrenched, but her eyes remained closed. She did not want to look at the baby. "Tsk tsk." Abel shook his head at the crying baby. "I didn't expect that you could be so heartless, Bianca. I'll be bringing the baby away with me. You can come to me any time you feel like seeing her." After that, he left the room with the baby. The baby continued crying. Bianca could hear her wails as she disappeared down the corridor. Bianca slowly opened her teary eyes. She looked as though she was going to cry at any time. Eler immediately wiped her eyes with a napkin. "You shouldn't cry, Miss. It'll be troublesome if your wounds are infected." Bianca blinked and looked upward. From Bianca's expression, Eler could see that she was not as heartless as Abel said she was. "Miss, if you miss your baby, I'll let Boss know. He seems like he wants you to take care of the baby." Bianca shook her head. "I ca
"It's not painful. It's better to feed the baby breast milk," Bianca said softly. She knew that breast milk was better than baby formula. Seeing Bianca's determination, Eler did not try to convince her otherwise. She saw that it was already noon and said, "I'll go and get lunch from the kitchen, Miss. Please rest for a while." "Alright." Bianca closed her eyes. Meanwhile, in A City. Luke was standing in the corridor. He frowned hard when he heard the hysterical screams coming from inside. Unable to alleviate his frustration otherwise, he took out a pack of cigarettes and lit one. The person screaming hysterically in the ward was Bianca Rayne. He had made arrangements to transport her back to A City after finding her. According to the diagnosis, Bianca had many serious psychological problems caused by repeated trauma. As for her body… Luke dragged his cigarette out of frustration. Johann had asked a female doctor to conduct a full examination on Bianca's body, who fo
