The entrance was pushed open and Luke's gaze immediately shifted to the door.A woman walked in and sat across from the interviewers. She placed her hands on her knees casually.Luke’s heartbeat inexplicably sped up when he saw her charming face. He thought that she looked familiar.However, he was certain that they had never met. Luke maintained his calm and waited for her to speak.Ivana just stared at them. She did not move nor was she bothered to introduce herself and greet them. When she looked at Luke, her heart ached.After three years, she finally saw the face she had been thinking about. However, her face and identity were different now.She could not tell him that she was Bianca.No one would believe that she was Bianca.When she returned to A City, she had done her research on Luke. When she saw him and the fake Bianca attending various occasions and events, she felt as though a thousand swords had pierced through her heart.The counterfeit next to him had become
When the HR managers heard Jason’s reply, they said, "That's interesting. The boss isn’t the kind of person who would go for under-the-counter deals. If someone else came here with Ivana’s attitude, they would’ve been kicked out without the opportunity to join the company."Jason listened to their discussion and said with a straight face, "Stop with the gossiping and go focus on what you need to get done."The HR managers nodded and started a discussion on who to hire for the remaining positions.Jason walked out and headed downstairs. He happened to bump into Ivana, who was waiting by the entrance for a taxi. He asked curiously, "Ms. Ivana, do you remember me?"Ivana turned her head and looked at him. Of course, she knew Jason. He was Luke's special assistant and the father of Sue's two daughters."Mr. Doyle, what's the matter?""Nothing much, I'm just curious and wanted to ask you if you know our boss from before?" Jason asked.Ivana frowned and asked, "What do you mean? You t
Bianca bought some clothes and toys in the children's area before finding a restaurant to dine in.She chose a central position to sit and enjoyed the looks of people around her. She was getting used to being Mrs. Crawford.Bianca picked up the coffee that was served by the waiter earlier and took an elegant sip. She remembered what the man had told her.He said that the boss had arranged for the woman to come back to A City. She was instructed to pay attention to the woman and observe her secretly. She had to record her every move and report it back to the Island of Despair through secret messages.‘Isn’t it enough for Abel to have me undergo plastic surgery and send me to Luke? Why did he send the woman back? She’s just going to get in my way.’However, when she thought about how the woman had changed her appearance and did not pose a big threat to her, she became more accepting of it. She picked up a tissue and wiped the coffee stain on the corner of her mouth. She smiled.Bia
"They’ll love it," Luke said.“Tommy never likes what I buy for him. I forget a lot of things, so I don't know what he likes. Sigh, it’d be great if I could remember the things from the past." Bianca pretended to sigh in distress and lowered her head with a sad expression on her face.Luke thought of how Tommy was repelled by her, as well as Lanie and Rainie’s alienation. Their problems began when Bianca lost her memory.However, he did not want her to remember the past.Luke’s hands were full, so all he could do was give her a comforting smile as he said, "Bea, don't think too much about it. The children are still in their rebellious phase. They’ll come to be more understanding of you eventually.” Bianca nodded at him, but the look of grievance in her gaze did not disappear.To her, the kids were an existence that hindered her plan. Sooner or later, they would have to be eradicated.Luke and Bianca returned to the manor. Tommy sat in the living room watching cartoons. When he
Bianca pouted unhappily. "I want to accompany you… and Tommy." "Mommy, I'll be fine with just Daddy here," Tommy said. Bianca bit her lip. Luke had been treating her more and more coldly, perhaps inadvertently influenced by the children. The caretaker brought Bianca's shopping bags into the house and asked, "Madam, should I bring these bags to your bedroom?" Bianca remembered that the other family members were not very happy whenever they saw her buy new clothes. She stood up and smiled at Luke and Tommy. "Alright, I'll go back to my bedroom then. I've also bought some new clothes for you. After you're done tutoring Tommy, come over and try them on, alright?" "Mm." Luke nodded, though his eyes remained transfixed on Tommy. When he saw Tommy make a spelling mistake, he patiently corrected him. Bianca was frustrated that Luke did not look at her at all, though she could not lose her temper in front of her husband and child. She smiled at the caretaker and said, "Follow me."
Bianca was relieved when she heard that Ivana would not be working in the T Corporation building. However, she could not let her guard down yet. She took Luke's hand and said coyly, "Luke, why don't I work in T Corporation too? You can arrange for that, right?" Luke frowned slightly and looked at her. "Isn't it better to stay at home?" Bianca did not know anything after losing her memories. She could not even tutor Tommy with his homework. How was she going to work in T Corporation? "I feel so bored at home. I want to help you too, so that Grandpa doesn't look down upon me," Bianca pouted and said. Luke tried to convince her otherwise. "You've yet to fully recover. It's best for you to stay at home." "I don't wanna. You said that I used to be very career-focused, right? I might not remember anything now, but I want to try to find my former self." Bianca wagged his hands. After thinking very carefully, she thought that the reason for not being able to win Luke's heart w
Ivana knew the internal structure of T Corporation very well. She could navigate her way to the HR department even with her eyes closed. At the HR department, she filled up the relevant paperwork and had her photo taken. After that, she was officially an employee of T Corporation. After the HR staff member gave her the staff ID, she looked at it in a daze. The person on the ID seemed like a stranger to her. "Um, can I change my name on the ID?" She handed the staff ID back. The HR staff member looked at her in confusion. "What name do you want?" "Luca. That's my middle name," Ivana explained. She had given herself that name, while Ivana was the name that Abel had given her. "What?" The HR staff member did not understand. Ivana took a pen and paper, wrote the name down, and handed it to the staff member. The HR staff member looked at the name and said, "No problem, I'll get that changed for you. That's a nice name." Ivana smiled slightly. The HR staff member changed
"Alright, thank you," Ivana said. After Jason left the room, she breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed her pose. Jason was staring at her earlier. She wondered if her cover was blown. Her face had totally changed. How did they manage to recognize her? Ivana held the glass of water and continued to wait. Fifteen minutes later, Ivana turned her head when she heard the room door open and saw Luke coming in. "Mr. Crawford." She stood up and greeted him awkwardly. Luke nodded. His heart skipped a beat when he noticed that Ivana did not wear any makeup. Ivana had a seductive face, but she was different from other women. Most if not all other women would wear makeup whenever they went out of their houses. That reminded Luke of the previous Bianca. Before Bianca lost her memories, she did not wear any makeup unless it was an important occasion. Now, she would spend her time in front of the vanity the moment she woke up… Luke did not remain stunned for too long. He sat down op
