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
After work, Luke told Bianca to go to the CEO's office to look for him, and they would leave together. Bianca waited next to the CEO's personal elevator to head up to Luke's office. Meanwhile, Julie joined Nina, Sue, and her other colleagues to wait for the employees' elevator. Julie saw Bianca, who was standing not far away, enter a bigger elevator by herself. On top of the elevator doors was a sign with "CEO's Elevator" written in gold. It was a dazzling sight. Building A of T Corporation was quite big and had a lot of employees. Even though many high-speed elevators were operating, they were quite crowded during peak times. Julie was envious that only Bianca alone could use the CEO's personal elevator. She could not help but tug at Nina's shirt sleeve and ask softly, "Nina, is Bianca… going into the CEO's personal elevator? What is her relationship with the CEO?" She knew perfectly what Bianca's relationship was to Mr. Crawford, but she wanted to confirm it. "Bianca?
Queenie and Jack walked toward Julia. Queenie held an exquisite jewelry box in her hands. Her eyes were still red. She had been crying ever since she received the test results, though those were tears of joy. She did not expect that her birth daughter was still alive, and that she would find her in such a short time. When Julie saw them, she eagerly hugged Queenie's elbow and greeted her, "Mom." Then, she greeted Jack, "Dad." Those greetings were very natural, and Julie did not sound like a stranger at all. Tears of love gushed out of Queenie's eyes again. "Oh, my dear daughter…" Jack was usually an emotionally stoic man. Tonight, everyone could see from his face that he was happy and excited. Julie did not expect that she was actually the birth daughter of the Provincial Committee Secretary. She almost passed out from the good news. Until now, she was still immersed in ecstasy. Queenie composed herself and placed the jewelry box in Julie's hands. "This is my present
