Susan did not know how to react to what Old Master Crawford said. She felt resentful. She said, "If there’s such a need, Louis would know his priorities. After all, we don’t expect Bianca to help with T Corporation."Old Master Crawford did not answer and drank his tea in silence.Bianca stood at the corner near the stairs and heard Susan's every word. She silently clenched her fist. Not only did Old Master Crawford see her as a good-for-nothing but Susan and the others too...They may look down on her now but she swore that she would get her revenge in the future.Bianca walked upstairs with her head held high when she thought about what she was going to do. Since they did not allow her to go to Luke, she would be more than happy to create some chaos for the Crawford family. On the other side, Luca was at work and received a call from Amur."Amur, what's the matter?" Luca glanced at the time. At this hour, Sue would have already sent Kari and Teri to school before going to work
"Who’s your friend?" Lanie was on high alert. Bianca had never been so enthusiastic toward them and had never taken any one of them out alone, so Lanie thought that she was acting particularly strange.Bianca’s eyes flashed with impatience when faced with his endless questions. She did not put too much thought into it and continued to coax them. "You don't know her, she’s a new friend. Her daughter wants to learn ballet and she heard that Rainie is great at it. My friend wants to treat us to a meal so Rainie can give her daughter some tips on ballet."Lanie was still suspicious and was not fooled by her words. When he was thinking about stepping in to help Rainie turn her down, Rainie said, "Okay, but I have to finish my homework first. Can you get out and give me some time?"Bianca smiled brightly when Rainie agreed to her request. She stopped disturbing them so they could leave earlier. "Okay, do your homework."After Bianca left, Lanie closed the bedroom door, looked at Rainie,
Bianca endured the strong dissatisfaction in her heart. She wanted revenge more than anything. After the car left the parking lot, she glanced at Rainie who was sitting in the passenger seat and eating biscuits. Bianca stepped on the accelerator and left Crawford Manor.Rainie ate the biscuits quietly. She did not seem too happy and did not speak.Bianca noticed that she made almost no sound eating the biscuits and remembered what Old Master Crawford was always nagging about. She suppressed her temper and asked, "Rainie, has your Great-grandpa always been like this?"Rainie swallowed the biscuits before she replied, "What’s wrong with Great-grandpa?""Does he dislike me?" Bianca asked. Although it was not the best idea to share that with a kid, she was not bothered as it was not her child.Rainie shook her head and said, "No, don't think too much about it."Bianca was still angry and continued to ask, "Was he also like this before? Has he always been so stern with me?""Although
Bianca noticed that Rainie had never worn the clothes she bought for her. She guessed that Rainie did not like the clothes that she picked for her, and that was why she had used that excuse against Rainie. Rainie only wanted to go home. She shook her head and said, "I have many clothes at home, Mommy." Bianca took Rainie's hand and led her to the shopping mall across the street as though she did not hear what the little girl said. "It's rare that the two of us can go shopping without anyone else following us, Rainie. Let's have a lot of fun today." Rainie wanted to take out her phone to tell Lanie about where they were going, but before she could do that, Bianca dragged her into the shopping mall, and they went to the children's section. Bianca picked a few dresses that matched Rainie's usual clothing style. She smiled and asked her, "Don't you think that these dresses look pretty? Why don't you try them on? If they fit you, I'll buy them for you." Rainie glanced at the exqui
The butler immediately made arrangements. Meanwhile, Bianca drove the car to the outskirts of A City. By the time she parked the car in front of the pre-arranged house, it was already past midnight. She had taken all the precautions. In order to avoid being tracked down by the people sent by Old Master Crawford, she made many detours on roads without surveillance cameras. It would have been difficult for someone else to do that, but she was from the Island of Despair, and it was very easy for her to do so. Bianca smirked when she glanced at her phone that was already out of battery because it had been vibrating nonstop. She brought her handbag and Rainie's backpack into the house. When she returned and sat back in the car, Rainie had already woken up. Rainie was still groggy because she was still under the lingering effects of the drug. She took some time to focus and realized that she was still in the car. She looked at the woman in front of her and asked, "Where am I?" "Y
Lanie could see that Tommy was confused, but he thought it was better that his younger brother did not know what was going on, so he shook his head. Old Master Crawford said, "Alright, I know what needs to be done. Bring your younger brother to the dining table, eat your breakfast, then go to school. Also, don't run around after school is out. Wait for Uncle Sean to come and pick you up." Old Master Crawford did not know about Bianca, so he thought that Bianca and Rainie's disappearance was caused by some other reason. He guessed that someone might have abducted Bianca and Rainie and was holding them ransom. Lanie knew that he had to keep the secret to himself. He nodded, took Tommy's hand, and led him to the dining hall. After they had their breakfast, the driver took them to school. "Lanie, where's Rainie? Why isn't she with us today?" Tommy asked. Lanie did not want him to worry, so he said, "Rainie isn't feeling well today, so she's staying in bed." Tommy nodded, thou
"In any case, I'll have to find Rainie as soon as I can. I don't want the little girl to be in that woman's hands." After her stint on the Island of Despair, Luca knew what those people could do. Kind-hearted people like Eler and Amur were exceedingly rare. Sometimes, the people on the island would harm their family for a warm meal. Everyone on the island only looked out for themselves. Even though the impostor Bianca had lived together with Rainie for three years, Luca could not say that the woman would be kind toward the little girl. Moreover, Luca did not know Bianca's motives for taking the little girl away. When Amur saw Luca execute the program, he immediately began to search for the signal. The program was developed by the people on the Island of Despair. It could be used to search for other people from the Island of Despair within a certain range. The signal emitter was embedded in their phones, and it could continue to give off a signal even after the phone was sw
"You know that your Great-Grandpa doesn't care about me. If I leave alone, I don't think I'd be able to go back anymore." Bianca pretended to look frustrated to gain the child's sympathy. "That's why I brought you along, and it'll be easier for me to go home. Do you understand now?" "But we don't know when Daddy will be back home," Rainie shuddered and said. She could not shake off the fear whenever she heard Bianca speak, though she now understood why she was brought along. That way, Old Master Crawford would have no choice but to let Bianca in. 'Great-Grandpa cares for me more than he cares for that woman… 'She's pretending to be my mother, but she can't stand Great-Grandpa and wants to leave. She's bringing me along so that she can go back… 'It means that she had never intended to leave in the first place…' The more Rainie thought about it, the more afraid she was. What was the woman's motive for staying in the Crawford household? "It doesn't matter if he comes back late
