The document read: When Queenie Ziegler, Jack Norman's wife, was in the small-town clinic, the person who accompanied her there was Allison Tanner, Luke's mother. Luke's hands stiffened when he saw that line. He turned to the next page and continued to read. The account was very detailed for a twenty-something-year-old incident. According to the informer, Queenie had overstressed herself during that crisis. Moreover, her health was not that great, and those factors had caused her to deliver her baby prematurely. The small town was too far away from the city, and she could not get to the hospital in time. That was why she had to go to an unremarkable clinic. The name of the doctor who delivered Queenie's baby was named Vyen Lane. Queenie lost a lot of blood during the delivery, and she was on the brink of death. She did not know that she had given birth to a healthy baby girl. At that time, Allison had performed an illicit transaction with Doctor Lane. She bribed the doc
Luke helped Bianca change into slippers. He hugged Bianca's waist and walked in front of Allison. "Bianca and I are back home, Mother. She brought you a present." Allison shuddered when she saw her son's icy gaze. Then, she turned her head away unhappily. Bianca was the woman who had caused discord between her and her son! Allison's hatred toward Bianca only grew by the day. "Madam," Bianca greeted Allison and handed her a bag of skincare products. "I heard that you like this brand, and so I bought it when I was out shopping the other day." Allison turned her head and shot a glance at Bianca. Her face had been scrunched up ever since Bianca entered the door of Crawford Manor. Allison's well-manicured fingers caressed her teacup while talking to Luke, "Luke, didn't I tell you not to bring that woman home? Why don't you ever listen to me? That woman had humiliated the Crawford family at the engagement ceremony. Must you disobey me at every chance you get?" Luke sat down
Queenie was shocked when she heard what Shakira said. When she finally processed Shakira's words, she was instantly overcome with joy! She even forgot that her adoptive daughter was next to her. The hand that was holding her phone was shaking. "Shakira, is… is what you say true? You really found my birth daughter? Where is she now? Is she fine? Is…" "Mm, Queenie, are you free? You can come over and take a look now. Mr. Tyson has run a background check on her, and he thinks that all her characteristics check out. I think there's a very big possibility that she is your birth daughter." "I'm free now. I'll head over!" From the phone's speakers, Leia could hear the contents of the conversation between Shakira and her mother. Those words sent chills down her spine. Leia sat on the couch in silence. There was not a hint of a smile on her beautiful face. Her right hand that was holding a flower stalk clenched tightly. Instantly, she lost all vitality. After Queenie ended the cal
Queenie was so sure that her birth daughter was Julie because she had gone to look for Allison more than once! She wanted from Allison the truth of the incident back then! Allison, irritated by Queenie's incessant pestering, said mockingly, "Queenie, when you delivered your daughter back then, she was lacking oxygen and was blue and purple all over. She didn't even cry or make a sound, and we thought that she was dead. That was why we tossed her out into the dumpster near the clinic. It was so cold, and even if the baby were alive, she would have been killed by the weather…" At that moment, Queenie had the urge to kill Allison! Why did they not wait for Queenie to regain consciousness, so that she could see her baby at least once? Why were they so cruel to toss her baby into a dumpster, even though she had almost died giving birth to it? Seeing Queenie discreetly wiping away her tears, Shakira knew that she was not in a stable emotional state. She turned to speak to the mid
Meanwhile, at Crawford Manor. The scene at the dining table was relatively harmonious. Bianca was surprised that Allison did not pick on her or insult her while they had their meal. However, she noticed that Allison would occasionally look at her with a deep-seated hatred, though Allison dared not say a hateful word. Bianca was curious about what was going on. After lunch, Luke and Bianca sent the twins to their tutor. They dropped the children off at the destination. Then, Luke turned the car around and drove along Orchid Road, which Bianca was quite familiar with. The road led into the commercial center of A City. It was wide, but traffic was usually heavy. Moreover, it was the weekend, and the traffic was worse than usual. Bianca sat in the side passenger seat and waited patiently for the traffic light to turn green. She thought that Luke was going to bring her home. However, she began to have doubts when she saw that they were on the jammed road. "Why aren't w
Bianca felt that everything was so surreal as she walked out of the city courthouse, clutching the wedding certificate in her hands. They were really married. They were now a legally married couple. Luke turned his head to look at her. It was noon, but the sky was partially cloudy. It was not very hot, but instead cool and windy. Loose strands of hair danced on Bianca's face. He pushed them back behind Bianca's ear. The man's slender fingers were like paintbrushes, gently tracing the outlines of her eyebrows and eyes. Her smile was like a blooming flower that heralded the summer. Luke thought that he would never get tired of looking at her face, no matter how long they would be together. As he thought of that, he abruptly picked up the pregnant Bianca off her feet and twirled her around. He was laughing without restraint. "We're married, Bianca. We're now officially husband and wife." Bianca was red-faced as she hugged his neck. "Put me down. I'm too heavy." Luke
Leia stepped into Dr. Hoover's office on her high heels and closed the door behind her. Dr. Hoover was surprised when he saw Leia walk in front of his desk and take off her sunglasses. "Do you have any more questions, Ms. Norman?" Dr. Hoover sat up straight and put on his glasses. Leia smiled at him. To the doctor's shock and surprise, she took out a ten-million-dollar check from her pink handbag. Then, she placed the check on the desk and pushed it in front of the doctor. "I'd like to trouble you with something, Dr. Hoover…" "It's no trouble at all. Please state your request, Ms. Norman." Dr. Hoover suddenly felt an ominous premonition. Indeed, the words that came out of Leia's mouth chilled Dr. Hoover to his core. "I'm asking you to tamper with the DNA test results, Dr. Hoover. I want to make it so that Julie's DNA is a perfect match with my parents. That shouldn't be too hard for you, right? I've heard that… you've acquired a new mansion recently, and you need some mon
Even though she was jealous, Julie remained sensible. She would not have gotten this job if not for Bianca. If she were to apply to T Corporation with her own abilities, she would not have been considered, even though she had a bachelor's degree from a ranked university. She knew that the recruitment process of T Corporation could be inhumanly harsh. Candidates needed to have at least a master's degree, which she did not have. She counted her lucky stars. Julie sneaked a few glances at Bianca, who was hard at work. She still could not understand why the idol of many young women around the country would have his eye on the unremarkable Bianca. While Julie's thoughts wandered, several gossips in the office started to discuss her… "Hey, who do you think that Julie Anderson is? Mr. Doyle was the one who brought her to the office…" Female Employee A said. "I don't know, but it looks like her qualifications don't match the company's most basic requirements. Did higher manag
