The drama at the dining table ended abruptly. Study. Old Master Crawford looked at his handsome grandson who was sitting on the sofa and sighed at how fast time passed. Unknowingly, Zachary had already left for so many years and the baby who was wailing in the swaddle had grown into one of the most influential and highly praised business leaders in the world. Old Master Crawford talked to Luke about T Corporation and then the topic shifted to his personal affairs. "Luke, are you firm on having a wedding with Bianca on the 16th? To be honest, Bianca is a wonderful woman and it’s your luck to be able to spend your life with her. It’s just that… the timing of your wedding is a little rushed. After all, the collapse of The Galleria happened not long ago. I’m afraid that a grand wedding at this timing will lead to strong dissatisfaction from the families of those victims." Luke ashed his cigarette and replied nonchalantly, "I had set the date long ago. I wanted to g
Leia immediately went for a color doppler ultrasound examination. When the image came out, she immediately brought it to Dr. Luis’ office and asked her to take a look at it. The image showed that it was a mid-term pregnancy, single live birth (15W+6D), and posterior placenta. Dr. Luis carefully read the report. She pushed the big-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose and said, "Ms. Norman, you’re pregnant. The baby is 15 weeks and 6 days old." Leia's face turned pale in an instant. She took off her sunglasses and screamed, "That’s impossible! When I was more than 30 days pregnant, I took abortion pills. I was bleeding for a few days after that. How could the child be alive?" Dr. Luis frowned and asked Leia, "When did you take the abortion pill? How did you take it? Which doctor prescribed the abortion pill for you?" Leia sighed and answered truthfully, "Dr. Hoover was the one who prescribed the medicine. She gave me three days worth of medicine and not
Leia was not bothered that there was a faint pain coming from her stomach. In the mirror, her face was pale as a ghost but there was a cruel smile on her face. However, her stomach cramped for only a while before Leia could no longer stand the pain. She lay on her bed, her expression looking dull and absent. Her eyes suddenly widened and she began to scan through her room. Leia's room was well designed. The main colors were pink and white, while her curtains and sofas were all high-end imports. The colors and style were the careful work of well-known designers. It had a dreamy look and feel. When she was a child in the orphanage, she had been forced to loot for food. She had always imagined becoming a princess and getting adopted by well-meaning people in expensive clothes so that she could live in a gorgeous house. After a long wait, she finally saw hope when Mr. and Mrs. Norman visited the orphanage. She plotted to replace Scarlett Quincy and wiggled her
On the other side of town. When Leia woke up in the private room, she realized that she was naked and her body was in pain. She was alone in the private room. After a brief period of confusion, Leia knew what had happened to her.It was because there were countless bruises on her body. A bag containing white powder was placed on the sofa and there was a note under it. Leia took it and saw Cree's messy handwriting. [Ms. Norman, you’re not bad. We’re in business. This is what you need. Would be happy to work with you again.] Leia was so furious that she crumpled the note. She shuddered with disgust at the thought of having slept with such a good-for-nothing the night before. However, she needed this drug. She knew that Cree had slept with her. It happened only once, but what came to her mind was the scene of her doing it with Cree countless times... When she ran to the bathroom, Leia vomited everything that was in her stomach and cursed
Dawn. A high-end hotel. Leia’s high heels, skirt, top, and stockings were scattered on the floor. Brody’s shirt and trousers... Brody woke up in a panic, feeling completely drained. What he saw when he opened his eyes was a magnified pretty face. There was a woman in his arms, and it was Leia. Leia was sleeping sweetly and looked content in his arms. Brody was taken back. He looked at the mess on the floor and smelled the musky scent in the air. As an adult, he knew what had happened between them. The scene of their intense and passionate night came to mind. He felt greatly satisfied. He did not expect that the gentle and polite-looking Leia was so wild in bed. Mm, it seemed that it was not the first time they had spent the night together... "Hmm..." Leia woke up from her sleep. When she saw Brody staring at her, she got up calmly and was not at all bothered that she was naked in front of him. Her body was full of scr
Bianca’s wedding dress was made by the world-renowned wedding dress designer, David. It was the only one in the world, featuring three-dimensional tailoring made by an exclusive soft white yarn. The pure white dress made Bianca's skin glow like snow. The wedding dress was inlaid with three-dimensional hollow roses and diamonds, which showed off her slender figure. She had the delicate look of a young girl and at the same time, the coquettish side and glamor of a woman. At a glance, the stunning bride gave off the aura of a stunning beauty. Bianca looked like an effortlessly beautiful oil painting. She stood quietly, looking so radiant and breathtaking. She attracted the eyes of all the guests and Luke. Bianca looked at the magnificent wedding venue through the veil. She knew that her husband had decorated the place to suit her preferences. She could not help but smile from the warmth and joy she felt. She looked in her husband’s direction and saw Lanie and Rain
The pastor who officiated their wedding was a respected foreign old man. He had an exceptionally kind face and demeanor. The pastor was around 50 years old. He had gray hair and wore a large blouse. He was wearing a bright-colored ribbon on his left arm and held a Bible in his hand. His expression was compassionate and peaceful. The pastor kindly looked at the loving couple who was in front of him. His mature voice was wise and gentle as he asked, "Mr. Luke Crawford, will you take Miss Bianca Rayne as your lawfully wedded wife? To spend your life with her according to the teachings of the Bible, be with her as one before God, to love her, comfort her, and take on the duty of a husband for life, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?" Luke held Bianca's hand and answered without any hesitation, "I do!" The pastor maintained his grace and
As she watched Luke and Bianca exchange rings and kiss, Mavis could not help but bawl. She pressed her lips tightly to stop herself from weeping. It was useless. Although she did her best to cry quietly and even though the sound of music was louder than her sobs, the pea-sized tears on her cheeks were real. She knew that her ten-year crush on Luke had to come to an end. When a security guard saw Mavis, who was dressed weirdly and crying, he stepped forward and asked, "Miss, are you alright? Do you need help?" "Thank you, I'm fine." Mavis shook her head to signal to the bodyguard that she was fine. She felt as though her heart was in pieces as she sat down in the farthest seat. She continued to watch Luke and Bianca's wedding. The scene of their happiness was pure abuse for her, but Mavis could not control herself. Luke knew nothing about it. In his striking eyes, there seemed to be only Bianca—his gentle and gorgeous Bianca. The wedding
