Everyone was shocked by the sudden scene.The tiny little Rainie was even more frightened and puzzled. She could only watch with her eyes wide as the crazy white cat clawed right at her.The little girl's eyes were wide open from the horror."Rainie!"Right at this critical moment, the maternal instinct and love in Bianca made her grab Rainie and Lanie, protecting them in her arms. She hid their little faces tightly in her chest and used her back to resist the attack of the white cat.The white cat went mad. Its snow-white fur that covered its body stood upright like thorns and its bright blue eyes faintly glowed red. Its sharp claws caught right into Bianca's sweater!"Go away!” Bianca pushed the white cat off her shoulder fiercely.She did not understand how the purring little obedient and quiet Persian cat from just now that was lovable and cute became like this.How did the cat’s temperament change drastically, becoming cruel and abnormal in a manner of mere minutes?!!The
The man’s familiar and scorching breath struck Bianca…The smell of his male hormones that made people feel at ease filled Bianca's nose. When she smelled the masculine and chilly smell from Luke's body as he held her neck tightly, Bianca's fear in her head slowly faded. She started to feel at ease.She had not felt anything before, but after she saw Luke, her sadness suddenly poured out like spring water.Bianca whispered, "Luke..."Luke hugged her tightly and sat on a nearby bench with Bianca on his lap.The man gazed over at the wounds on her neck, and the pain in his heart showed on his face.At the same time, there was an unquenchable hostility that lingered in his eyes!Bianca subconsciously covered the scratches on her neck with her hands because she did not want him to see her ugly wounds.Luke leaned forward to tuck a lock of her hair that was bouncing on her cheek behind her ear.After that, he lifted Bianca's tiny chin. "I look away for one second and you get yourse
Fortunately, the middle-aged doctor had enough training with the second young master of the Mallory family and his heart was strong enough to take it.Otherwise, he would have been so frightened by the imposing man.Luke carefully rolled up Bianca's sleeves and revealed her fair snow-like skin.The middle-aged doctor was taken aback for a while.As a doctor, he had his fair chances of serving noble ladies from wealthy homes with superb skin, but the lady's skin in front of him blew everyone out of the water... It would not be an exaggeration if he said that her skin was as delicate as a baby’s.In addition to that, she had a complexion so fair that it could dazzle someone’s eyes..."Are you trying to lose your eyeballs?" Luke's cold rebuke was like a slap that suddenly shook the middle-aged doctor back to his senses.When he met the man's terrifying murderous look, he hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to look at her again.Most men possessed a strong desire to own.
When Luke heard the doctor's examination report, he was sitting on the sofa when his face as cold as an ice sculpture. He knew that the incident must have been set up by someone.He wondered who planned it and who the person was targeting. He wondered if the person was targeting someone else or was it Bianca.When he thought about the second possibility, Luke's dark and dim dark brown eyes burst with a cold light!At that moment, the senior manager responsible for monitoring the Blue Honors club also walked in.He had taken a screenshot of the surveillance video and showed it to everyone present. The video showed a woman in a chunky smoky-gray scarf that wrapped her entire face tightly. Her face could not be clearly seen and only her body was visible. She looked a little chubby and wore a brown windbreaker. She was holding a can of cat food and was trying to coax the white Persian cat into the washroom…When Bianca saw the woman’s figure, she was taken aback.At that time, she
When Leia walked into the VIP reception room, she happened to see Luke looking heartbrokenly at the back of Bianca's neck.Every deep line on the man's face was particularly charming when outlined by the light. Under the light, his healthy complexion exuded a masculine, steady, and seductive luster.What made her super jealous at that moment was that Luke seemed to have put all his tenderness and attention on the plain-looking ordinary woman named Bianca. When he walked past Leia earlier, he had not even bothered to give her a look.Leia's heart felt as uncomfortable as getting pricked by a needle.His gaze would not leave Bianca's face at all.When she saw that Bianca's face was as pale and delicate as ever and the white gauze wrapped around her neck, she immediately felt disappointed.She secretly cursed the cat for being useless. Even though it had been injected with drugs, it still failed to mess up Bianca's face.Her goal was to disfigure Bianca, not give her scratches on h
Anger was clearly brewing on Leia's face at that moment.She stood up and walked in front of her assistant. Her sweet voice was mixed with a hint of coldness. "Tell me, do you have something to do with this? What did you do to the cat to make it crazy and hurt people?""Miss… Ms. Norman, it wasn’t me. It really wasn’t me. You should know that after I received your call, I rushed to Blue Honors. I’ve been with you the entire time... Besides, when I went to the bathroom at that time, I didn't see a white cat at all. I’m being framed..." Her assistant shivered with fright as tears rolled in her eyes from being accused.Leia was disappointed that she was not going along with it. "You’ve worked with me for so long and you’ve always worked hard, but there’s one thing I don’t like about you. Your habit of lying. You’ve always known you have this habit and you still don’t want to change? What am I supposed to do with you? The surveillance video has shown everything clearly. You’re my assist
The neon lights at night time were colorful, and the pale yellow light spilled into the warm interior of the Bentley Flying Spur through the windows of the car.The two babies were in the backseat, sleeping soundly while covered with a thin blanket.Luke drove in front and Bianca sat in the passenger seat.Her hand was under her chin as she looked at the illuminated billboards on the commercial street with something seemingly on her mind."Does it still hurt?" Luke steered the steering wheel with his left hand and gently stroked the white gauze on Bianca's neck with his right hand.Then, his hand clasped her left hand tightly, as if transferring some of his strength to her.Bianca looked up at him and saw how worried the man looked. She shook her head slightly and recalled what had happened in Blue Honors. "I was just thinking how weird and odd things were today. Even if Leia's assistant hated cats, why would she inject it with bacteria? And I think that the girl looked very timi
At the hospital. "I won't abort the child. Nobody can touch my child. I'll fight whoever lays a finger on it!" Nina protected her abdomen with her arms. She continually stepped backward like a panicked rabbit, trying hard to keep her distance from the doctors in white coats from nearing her. "I'm sorry, Ms. Langdon. We can't disobey Second Young Master Mallory's orders!" The eldest doctor said with an indifferent expression. It was not the first time that the doctor had performed abortions. In fact, he was quite experienced at it. Second Young Master Mallory was a playboy, and the doctor had performed many abortions for his women. She was not the first one, and she would not be the last. "Come out here, Pierre Mallory, you scoundrel!" Nina yelled hysterically. The strong doctors pinned down Nina's arms and legs. The room door suddenly opened, and Pierre came in with a beautiful woman with an arrogant demeanor next to him. When she saw Nina, she narrowed her eyes as th
Gerald was relatively strong. However, he tried to avoid touching other parts of Hera's body, making it quite difficult to carry her. By the time they reached the third floor, he was out of breath.Luca, however, seemed to handle it better than he did.“Ms. Craw, aren't you tired?” Gerald could not help but ask as he set Hera down on the bed, panting.Luca glanced at him and replied, “I'm not tired because I'm not worried about touching other parts of her.”Gerald, whose hands were on his hips, was out of breath and muttered, “This is the first time I've realized how exhausting it is to carry a woman upstairs.”After positioning Hera properly, Luca took her pulse and frowned. “Did she mention feeling unwell earlier?”“Yeah, but wasn't she pretending? She was crying, throwing a fit, and making a scene downstairs. It was quite the performance,” Gerald recalled, chuckling at the memory of Hera trying to cling to Luke and failing.Luca switched to her other hand to take Hera's pulse
Abel did not have much of an impression of Lucius. However, he believed he would not lie to him. If Lucius had actually done something to betray him, he would not have been foolish enough to admit that Hera had tried to seduce him.Abel studied his face. Lucius was not handsome, and his physique was not any different from the other people in the organization. His gaze then shifted to Hera. “You didn’t do anything?” Hera could feel the chilling intensity in his eyes, and she could not help but shiver.“A man had to step forward to file a complaint because you were harassing him, Hera. Have I been too lenient with you?” Abel continued, his voice light, almost indifferent. Still, the underlying menace was unmistakable. Despair filled Hera as she shot a resentful look at Luke. How could he be so ruthless, pushing her toward the brink of destruction?“Hera, look at me,” Abel commanded coldly, his hand suddenly gripping her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.Hera knew she had no
Luke stood still, waiting as Hera had instructed.Hera, on the other hand, walked toward the door with a look of eager anticipation on her face.Gerald stepped forward. “Are you crazy? She told you to wait, and you’re just standing there? Hurry up and go upstairs.”"Isn't she trying to cause trouble? Do you think I can just walk away from that?" Luke suddenly asked.Gerald was rendered speechless. What Luke said made sense, so he patted his shoulder. “I heard everything Hera said to you in the garden. Pal, I respect you for being a man, but this time, you’re on your own.”Luke remained expressionless. His gaze was fixed on Hera, who was now smiling brightly as she linked arms with Abel. Even so, his face betrayed no emotion.Hera noticed that Luke, just as she had instructed, was standing there without moving. Her irritation flared up.If he was too stubborn to bow his head and beg for mercy, then she would not hold back!“Darling, I’ve been so upset today without you around."
Sensing the looming danger fading away, Hera furiously demanded, “What is wrong with that man?”Gerald let out a sigh of relief. He had been truly worried that Shanks might take a few swipes at Hera.It was common knowledge that medical professionals could be terrifyingly skilled. They could cut with precision, avoiding vital organs, leaving you in excruciating pain but far from death.Gerald had witnessed Luca’s expertise in this field and knew Shanks likely had the same skills. That was why he would not dare provoke him.If Hera ended up hurt and miserable, Abel would hold them accountable for failing to protect her. Shanks, however, would walk away unscathed. The blame would fall squarely on them.“Ms. Sanchez, Mr. Shanks doesn’t like people entering his lab without permission. Everything in there is extremely valuable to him.” Even though Gerald did not understand why, it was what the others told him, and he dutifully passed on the message.“I knocked, and he told me to come
Not only did Luke not give in, but he wasn't intimidated by Hera's threats either. Instead, he turned the tables and intimidated her right back.Gerald could not help but feel a sense of admiration for Luke. If it had been him in that situation, he would not have had the guts to refuse Hera outright. Even if he did not want to comply, who would dare offend the boss’ future wife?Even though her position was not set in stone, for now, Hera’s status remained unshakable. Yet Luke did not try to curry favor with her. Faced with threats and temptation, he stood his ground, even flipping the situation to intimidate her instead.Gerald quietly gave a thumbs-up.“This guy’s the real deal,” he muttered to himself.After venting her frustration on the tree, Hera stormed back. Her eyes were red and swollen.When she came to the second floor, she caught sight of Luca stepping out of the lab with a tray in hand. She quickly approached.“Stop right there!” Hera snapped sharply.Luca frow
A flash of disgust flickered in Luke's eyes. He was completely fed up with Hera's relentless pestering.“If you have something to say, just say it here.” Unlike other men, he did not address her politely as 'Ms. Sanchez'.His tone was so indifferent, and he did not even bother to call her by name.Hera’s smile did not falter. She thought he was only acting this distance because there were so many people around, and he could not openly show his affection for her.Hera replied in a soft voice, “It’s something important, and they won’t be able to help. Come with me.”Luke frowned and remained motionless.People around them grew envious.Even if Luke did not actually have a romantic interest in her, just helping Hera would be enough to earn points in their boss’ eyes. Their jealousy turned into playful teasing.“The boss’ girlfriend’s asking for help. Just go already. What’s with the cold act? It’s no fun,” teased one of them.Others chimed in, “Yeah, seriously. Just go. Who are y
“I know you’re not interested in her, but still, we should be cautious,” Luca joked, trying to lighten the mood.She was actually worried that Hera’s feelings for Luke might interfere with their plans.Luca looked at him with concern. “You weren’t in your room last night. If she really went to your room, she must've noticed your absence. How will you explain that?”“There are plenty of reasons I could give.” Luke already had an explanation in mind.However, if Hera really had feelings for him and stayed here, it would definitely cause him some trouble.“Just be careful.” Luca felt helpless. Abel’s sudden appearance had already messed up a lot of their plans.There was no way for her to leave this little villa now.With Abel bringing Hera here and her developing feelings for Luke, it was bound to cause more trouble for him later.Luca felt frustrated. She had enough trouble on her own. She did not want Luke to get caught up in trouble too. She had never intended for him to be
The man remained cautious. When he heard Hera was looking for Luke’s room, he immediately asked, “What do you need with Lucius?”Hera felt like her intentions had been seen through, and a sense of unease washed over her. However, when she thought about her status and position, she confidently replied, “Your boss said that Lucius is to serve me from now on. I'm hungry now, so I need him to go get me some late-night snacks. What's the matter? Is that not allowed?”The man remained silent, thinking that Hera could just order delivery.Why go to another man's room in the middle of the night?He thought about a possible reason and could not help feeling a little jealous, thinking that he was definitely more handsome than Luke. His feelings of imbalance grew. Why go to Lucius and not him?Hera, noticing his hesitation, snapped, “What are you zoning out for? Are you going to go for him?”If it had been any other task, the man would have been happy to step in. Still, something like g
“Alright, I'm really tired. How about we rest for a bit?” After kissing him, Luca snuggled against his waist and playfully whined. “The medication I took has some strong side effects. I've been feeling drowsy for hours. Can we sleep now?”A flash of concern appeared in Luke's deep eyes. His voice was hoarse as he replied, “Okay.”After lying down, Luca suddenly remembered Hera. She asked, “Have you met Hera?”“Hera? That woman?” Luke pulled her closer into his embrace.“Yeah.” Luca could tell from his tone that he did not remember who Hera was, so she explained, “Hera was a classmate of ours in high school, the popular girl. She was interested in you back then. We even ran into her once when we were abroad.”Her memory was sharp, and she remembered clearly all the details about people and events that did not seem important.Luke only caught one detail—she was a former classmate.“I don’t remember,” replied Luke.Luca continued, “Back then, Hera had a crush on you, but... I didn
