Bianca was not interested in getting into such meaningless quibbles with Mavis. Moreover, Luke really needed to rest. She indicated to Mavis to step outside of the ward to talk. After they went out, Bianca gently closed the door so that Luke would not be bothered by what was happening outside. Mavis glared at Bianca, angry at her ingratitude. How could she be in the mood to eat tarts when the CEO was so heavily injured? If it were her, she would have been so worried that she would not be able to eat or sleep. Mr. Crawford's love was wasted on Bianca Rayne! Mavis pressed her crimson lips together, and her beautiful face was wracked with anger. "Why do you have the appetite to eat now, Ms. Rayne? T Corporation is in chaos now, and the CEO is seriously injured. You look so relaxed when everyone else is so worried!" The sarcasm in her words was palpable. Bianca leaned on the wall and gave Mavis a side-eye. "In your opinion, Ms. Laviere, how should I react to this situation?
When Luke woke up again, he saw Bianca sitting next to him on the bed. One of her hands was gently caressing his palm, while her chin rested on her other hand as she stared at him. She was unbelievably beautiful under the warm sunlight. Her face was fair and soft, and her eyes were clear and animated. Her eyelashes were thin and long. When she blinked, they flapped like two nimble butterflies. However, there seemed to be an inexplicable melancholy in her gaze. He could not help but frown. He did not wish to see her worry about something. Bianca smiled gently when she saw that Luke was awake. "Are you hungry? It's about to rain outside. What do you want to eat? I'll have it delivered." Luke shook his head and patted his bed. "I'm not hungry. Come and lie down next to me, Bea." Bianca let go of his hand and went to pour a glass of warm water for him. "Your lips look dry. You should drink some water." Luke took the glass and gently sipped the water. He looked at her, not
Leia was half-naked on the bed with Wayne. She was panting heavily after the vigorous session when Wayne abruptly covered her mouth. "Shh…" "What's wrong?" Leia glared at Wayne unhappily while her limber body crawled onto Wayne's chest. "Someone's outside!" Wayne was acutely aware of his surroundings, even when he was making out with a woman. Leia broke out in a cold sweat, and she struggled to get up. "My mom must be back. Let go of me, you b*stard!" Even though the door was locked and Queenie would not barge in, Leia was scared that someone might catch her in the act, and she was even more afraid that her parents found out that she was harboring a wanted criminal. Instead of letting her go, Wayne cackled sinisterly. His movements became even more vigorous. "I'm in the middle of something now. Even God will have to wait until I'm done!" Leia could not believe what she heard. She thought that the man was insane. Her sharp nails dug into Wayne's shoulders, but that o
Queenie was washing vegetables in the kitchen, but her mind seemed to be elsewhere. She was in a horrible mood. She wondered why her two daughters had been fraught with obstacles recently. First, her younger daughter was caught taking drugs and detained in the drug rehab center. Then, her elder daughter's husband got into an accident. The Galleria's collapse was no small matter. T Corporation would be ruined if the matter was not handled properly, not to mention that Luke, as its CEO, might be sentenced to prison. During her hospital visit, she noticed that Luke was not in a good physical condition, and she wondered if he had thought of a solution yet. Jack might be trying his best to pull some strings, but he was about two years away from retirement, and his relations in the political scene were already starting to distance themselves from him. Also, Jack's impartial attitude had made him many enemies over the years. Leia, her younger daughter, had always caused her worry.
In the VIP hospital ward, Gale and Rain stood in front of the bed and looked at Luke with worry in their eyes. They fell into the ocean at the same time, but fortunately, the two of them were saved by Percy Mallory. They had been recuperating from their serious injuries. Later, they were overjoyed to find out from Percy that their leader was still alive! Luke was their savior. He had single-handedly destroyed Robert's hidden training base from within and led them out of the hellish Island of Despair. They were grateful that Luke had granted them a new lease of life, and they swore eternal loyalty to him. Johann was performing a check-up on Luke's body. He was surprised when he analyzed the data. "I say, Bro, your regenerative powers are insane! A normal person would take at least a month to recover from broken ribs, but it's only been a week, and it would take someone else two weeks to reach where you are. Tsk, what a monster! You can be discharged today." Luke did not repl
The "answer" that they wanted was, of course, the amount of compensation that they would receive. Even without the families of the deceased protesting, Luke would be granting them the maximum amount. He might be the Cold-Faced Devil in the business world, but he was influenced by Bianca's kindness after spending a long time with her. However, he was unhappy that those people had surrounded the hospital. He wondered if they caused Bianca, who was back at home, any trouble. Luke turned his ice-cold gaze at Jason. "Are they bothering Bianca?" He did not mind being embroiled in controversy, but he hoped that the mob would not harass his wife and children. Bianca had stayed in the hospital for the past few days to take care of him. She was at her physical limit, and Luke forced her to go home and rest. Jason answered instantly, "Don't worry, they're not going to find her at the mansion. The security measures are tight there, and there hasn't been any trouble." "Mm, that's go
Kassy looked gloomily at the naked man who was unconscious on the floor. 'How useless! 'If that were Matthew, he would have given me the pleasure I desire!' The man's tempting body appeared in Kassy's mind. She had done her best in protecting the man, but he had betrayed her! Her beautiful face contorted viciously when she thought of that. Even the air around her seemed to have turned into ice. She draped a silk negligee over her, barely covering her private parts. Then, she pressed a button and coldly ordered, "Come and take this useless piece of trash away!" "Yes, Ms. Kassy!" Two tall and burly men in suits soon appeared in the room. They dragged the unconscious handsome man out of the room as though they were dragging a piece of roadkill. They dared not look at Kassy's seductive, barely naked body. Soon, the room resumed its silence. Only the dim night light cast an eerie glow in the room. Kassy opened a drawer and took out a photo. On it was the face of a handso
Bianca gently called out to the man who was hard at work in the study. "Luke." Luke put away the document in his hand and looked up helplessly at her. "It's already so late. Why aren't you sleeping yet?" He sounded as though he was reprimanding her. Bianca gently blew on the hot drink in her hands, then handed the cup to Luke. "How can I sleep when you're still working? I've made some tangerine honey milk tea for you. Drink it while it's hot." Luke took the cup of tea. The golden color of the tea was beautiful. The tangerine pieces floating inside seemed tantalizing. He took a few sips and was impressed. "Mmm, not bad. The sweet and sour taste makes it very appetizing. I'm lucky that my wife can make such delicious tea. Come over here. Your lips are so dry, and you should have some tea too." "I'm not thirsty. This tea is made just for you." Bianca was not in the mood to listen to his flowery words or drink tea. So many things had happened recently, and that had exhausted
