Cold sweat beaded on the unconscious man's forehead. His sharp eyebrows were furrowed uncomfortably. It was not a peaceful sleep. "Bianca, Bianca…" He kept mumbling. Kassy lay down next to him and gently touched the man's boiling forehead. She turned around and spoke unhappily to the doctor, "В Какое Время Он Может Проснуться? что он говорит самопроизвольно? (When can he wake up? What is he mumbling to himself?)" She did not understand what he was saying, but the fact that he was repeating the same word disconcerted her. The doctor examined the man carefully and slowly spoke to Kassy in Russian, "Miss, it's been a week since the man's surgery, and he should have been awake by now. Perhaps the severity of the bullet wound might delay his recovery by a few days. I have to say that the man is really lucky. The odds of survival are less than 0.1%." Kassy leaned over and kissed the man's forehead. There was a mysterious glint in her sinister gaze. "I have my eyes on him, and tha
Suddenly, Louis bowed deeply at Bianca. Bianca was shocked by that sudden gesture. "What are you doing, Louis?" "Sis…" Louis's voice was filled with lethargy. "The shareholders are beginning to question Brother's disappearance. I've tried to hide the truth from them, saying that Brother is away on a business trip and will be back soon, but I don't think they'll buy it any longer. Brother's will says that you'll be acting CEO of T Corporation. Do you think that you can hold the fort for a while?" Then, he cast his gaze on Bianca's bulging stomach and sighed. "I know that this isn't the perfect time to bother you, but the company is descending into chaos. I'm trying my best to keep everything afloat, but I'm not that capable." It was the first time Louis felt guilty about how helpless and incapable he was. He was not as smart or shrewd as Luke, and he could not maintain his composure. He found it hard enough to be the manager of a single department, let alone running the entire
Mavis had prepared that bid proposal. Bianca knew very well who Mavis Laviere was. She was not really considered a love rival, but she was a schemer that kept herself close to Luke. Mavis had even stuffed women's lingerie in Luke's car to try to create a misunderstanding. Bianca did not have a good impression of Mavis, but Mavis had a strong work ethic and was crucial to Luke's success. She hoped that Mavis did not interact with her husband too much, even though the interactions were strictly business. However, she did not say anything. Fortunately, Luke told Mavis something, and she stopped with her antics. Bianca carefully read Mavis's proposal and started frowning. She picked up the internal phone. "Tina, can you ask Ms. Laviere to come to the CEO's office?" "In a moment." Tina went to Mavis's office and asked her to go to the CEO's office. Mavis had been in low spirits ever since she knew that Luke had met with an accident. She had been crying, unable to accept
Back at the secretaries' office, Annette saw that everyone was busy at work. She smacked her table to get everyone's attention, then said exaggeratedly, "Hey, I have some juice news to tell all of you! Just now, I saw the acting CEO reprimanding Ms. Laviere! She even said that Ms. Laviere's bid proposal is imperfect. What a joke! No one in T Corporation dares to question Ms. Laviere's capabilities. Who does that newbie think she is?" The other two secretaries covered their mouths and chuckled when they heard Annette's description. Only Tina continued typing in front of her computer, fully focused on her work. Secretary A stretched, yawned, and took out a powder puff to apply some make-up to her face. "Does she think that she's the CEO just by sitting in that chair? Can she even stay in that chair for long?" "Who knows? I saw that she signed many contracts and documents, but I'm sure that she's only pretending." Secretary B pushed her glasses and guessed, "Our CEO's capabili
Bianca remained calm as the discussion went on. She tapped the desk with a pen at random intervals, saying in an indifferent tone, "Are you done? If you’re done, please take a look at the e-invite for the meeting." "How ridiculous! A woman who doesn’t respect the time of others wants to be an acting CEO?" Jenson raised his voice and said in an unforgiving tone. As he said that, he checked his email. When he saw that the meeting time was 10:06 a.m., he was stunned. He then glanced at Bianca and thought, ‘So what?’ When Luke was around, they would always start the meeting at 10:00 a.m. sharp. They were all used to the meeting time. The former CEO was very punctual and spoke out against people who were late. Previously, a shareholder took advantage of his long-standing relationship with Luke and was late for a meeting for a few minutes. As a result, Luke kicked him out. Old Master Crawford had tried to talk him out of it but it did not work. Now, the ne
Bianca was shocked when she heard the news from Gordan. Her emotionless face finally displayed a hint of joy. "Gordan, is it true? Luke is still alive? Where is he now? Are you sure that man is Luke? If it is him, why hasn't he come home yet?" Her anxious attitude and eager face made Gordan feel bad. He handed a pile of documents to Bianca, gulped, and said, "Bianca, I'm not sure if the person in the photo is Luke. There’s no conclusive evidence yet." Bianca looked at the pictures. The pictures were blurry, so she could only see the figure of a tall and thin man who stood tall. The man had his back to the camera and was wearing a cap, so she could not see the man's face at all. Bianca looked at the picture and stroked the figure on it. She did not speak for a long time. Maybe it was because she missed Luke too much, so as she looked at the figure, she thought that it could be him. "Based on the investigation, this man was in a vegetative sta
After her friends left, Susan immediately called someone. Louis was speeding back home. There was a beautiful gift in his passenger seat for his mom. Today was Susan's birthday, and he, a social butterfly, was returning home early for once.He wanted to give his mother a surprise, so he had not told her in advance that he was coming back. In the last couple of weeks, his mother had been forcing him to marry Yuri. They were in disagreement over this, so he had been reluctant to go home. However, it was a special day, so no matter how unwilling he was, he still wanted to celebrate the day with her as he was his mother’s only son. When he found out that his mother was in Armstrong Manor, Louis rushed over. Armstrong Manor was a small Western-style building with a long history. He stepped onto a pathway through a garden upon entering. The glass door led directly to the sunny backyard. This place was one of the dowries given to Susan by the Armstrong family. S
Hospital. Many people were waiting outside the operating room, including Old Master Crawford, Mr. Doyle, Sue, Nina, and even Allison, who had always been disdainful of Bianca. No matter how much she disliked Bianca, she was still Luke’s wife. Most importantly, she was giving birth to the flesh and blood of her son. A few days ago, because of the loss of her son, Allison had vented her anger on Bianca. When she thought about it now, she regretted it. Of course, she did not regret it because something might happen to Bianca. The woman had nothing to do with her. It was just that if Bianca was hurt, she would not get her grandson. Old Master Crawford was sitting on the seat outside the corridor. His left hand that held his cane trembled slightly, and his right hand fumbled with a rosary. He kept mumbling to himself, asking God to bless Bianca and his great-grandson. Sue and Nina held onto each other and paced in the corridor. They were praying
