On the television, Mavis was dressed elegantly. Her curly hair was swept to her back, which made her look diligent and capable. Standing next to Luke, they seemed like a match made in heaven. Luke looked directly at the camera with a mature and determined gaze. He remained calm in the face of the reporter's incisive questions. "The restaurants under T Corporation have been maintaining a high standard of quality, the proof of which can be obtained from the FDA. I suspect that there is some other reason that is causing the problems faced by the Regal Chain of Restaurants. We are still investigating whether it is a natural or a man-made cause. Once the results of the investigation are out, T Corporation will host a press conference and give the public a satisfactory answer!" Bianca frowned. The Regal Chain of Restaurants under T Corporation was facing some problems about the quality of their food in Western Europe. The problem was not so much about financial loss, but rather t
The night sky was as dark as ink, and all was silent. The two children had gone to bed a long time ago. Bianca remained in front of the computer, creating designs. Bianca was not in the mood to work, but she had no choice. Once she stopped working, all sorts of questions and doubts would fill her brain. The clock struck eleven. Bianca stared at the computer screen for a long time. The man had not given her a call. She went to the bathroom and took a shower, trying to keep herself awake. Dressed in a nightgown, she sat in the living room and tried calling Luke's number again. Bianca was afraid to hear the dreaded automated voice again. The phone rang for almost a minute, but no one picked up. Just when she was about to hang up, someone answered the call. "Hello?" It was the voice of a woman. All of a sudden, Bianca's eyes misted, and she felt her heart wrench. She tried to keep her voice calm and steady and asked, "I'm looking for Luke Crawford. Is he there?" "Oh?
Meanwhile, Nina followed Xavier and the woman in his arms into the hotel and watched them enter the elevator. The high-class hotel prioritizes the privacy of its customers. To ensure that she could capture video evidence of Xavier's affair, she had to pretend to be a customer and pay a hefty amount of money to stay in the room next to them. When Nina went into the elevator and swiped the access card, a drunken man stumbled into the elevator at the same time. The drunkard was tall and burly. He wore a black baseball cap which obscured his face. He was heavily intoxicated, and his body fell on Nina. Nina was livid and kicked him away. "Ding!" The elevator arrived at Nina's floor. Nina quickly stepped out of the elevator, but the drunkard grabbed onto the hem of her shirt and did not let her go. He kept calling her "Hey, chick," and tried to fondle her breasts. Nina was about to blow her top because of the drunkard's antics. In a fit of rage, she hooked the drunkard's elbow
The suspicion in Bianca's heart grew stronger as she neared the room… Her heart was beating faster and faster, though she forced herself to be calm. She knocked the door twice out of courtesy, and she heard a low and familiar male voice coming from inside. "Come in." She pushed open the door and smelled a strong scent of cigarettes which made her even more nervous. Looking around the room, she did not see Nina inside. Just when she was about to turn around and leave, a hand pulled her into the room from behind, and the door closed with a bang. Alarm bells rang in Bianca's heart when she saw Xavier! She did not know what was going on. "Did you send the message using Bianca's phone, Xavier? What do you want?" She asked angrily. Xavier cackled ominously. He gripped Bianca's chin and wanted to force a kiss on her. Bianca was not going to yield. She reflexively slapped him, but he caught her wrist in time. Xavier appreciated Bianca's body with his eyes. He kneaded her fair
Bianca was trembling with rage. She tried her best to suppress her feelings and managed to calm herself down. "Don't involve other people in our matters, Xavier. Nina is innocent. I hope that you can let her go." Bianca forced herself to be calm, but she found that she could not be calm at all. Xavier stubbed out his cigarette and looked into her eyes. "That'll be easy, Bianca. I don't want the divorce." "Xavier Tanner, you despicable man!" Bianca wanted to tear him into a thousand pieces. "It's not like you don't know me. I'm willing to do anything as long as I achieve my ends!" Xavier was not embarrassed by Bianca's reproach. Instead, that piqued his interest. "The man in the video is Pierre Mallory, the Second Young Master of the Mallory family. You should have heard about the Mallory family, right? Pierre is a vicious one. He always repays his grudges no matter how small they may be. If you're lucky, you might survive after losing a hand or a foot. If you're not, you'll b
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. He looked diligent and capable like a societal elite. "Good morning, Ms. Rayne." He smiled and greeted Bianca. Rainie ran to Bianca's side when she saw her and twirled around happily. "Look, Mommy. Uncle Walter gave 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 the whole 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 int
Allison glanced at Bianca with disgust, walking into the living room, and tossed the expensive LV handbag on the couch as though she was in her own house. Her gaze swept over the living room like a radar. She did not see Luke anywhere. Then, she went into the bathroom to search for clues. Bianca stepped unhappily in front of her. "What are you doing here? What do you want?" Allison saw a pair of men's slippers and two child-sized slippers next to the shower. She almost blew her top! She pointed at Bianca's face and started to yell. "Is it fun being a seductress? How shameless can you be, Bianca? You're now Xavier's wife, so what are you doing with my son? Not only have you taken hold of him, but you're also not showing my grandchildren any mercy! I was wondering why I haven't seen Luke and my two good grandchildren in the house. So they're with you. Is there any other woman in this world that's as shameless as you?" Bianca was trembling after hearing Allison's harsh words.
Allison took a deep breath. She did not want to throw a tantrum in front of her grandchildren. "Don't be deceived by this woman, my babies. She's a wicked woman, a seductress with a black heart. Be good children and follow your Grandma home. Your Great-Grandpa misses you…" Bianca could feel her heart being torn into pieces. Allison had said that about her in front of her children. She was about to speak when Lanie suddenly turned around. "You've become prettier, Grandma. I hope that you won't be angry or lose your temper. My teacher said that you'll be ugly if you're always angry. I hope that you'll be forever pretty, Grandma," Rainie said as she diligently massaged Allison's legs. Allison laughed when she heard Rainie's words. She enjoyed the special treatment, and her tone of voice became gentler. "You're such a charmer. Have you been eating sweets?" Rainie counted on her cute little fingers. "One, two three… hmm, I can't remember how many sweets I've eaten, but it was a lo
