That mistake allowed Lacey to frame her. "I'm sorry, Luke." She apologized for her mistake. If she had remembered what Luke told her, she would not have gone upstairs to the lounge, and none of this would have happened. Luke sighed and hugged her tightly. "I don't blame you, Bea. Let's go home. The children are worried about you." The couple left the police station. Several reporters were standing outside of the police station. News that Bianca was brought to the police station for questioning had spread throughout A City. The reporters swarmed up to Luke and Bianca when they saw them come out of the exit. "Mrs. Crawford, is it true that you have deliberately harmed a pregnant woman?" "Mrs. Crawford, it is said that the pregnant woman is your ex-husband's lover. Did you harm her out of revenge or spite?" "Mr. Crawford, how do you view what your wife did? Are you planning to divorce her to cut all ties with her?" The reporters' questions got more and more ridiculous.
The other person on the end of the phone became annoyed when they heard Melissa's threat. They were assassins, not menial workers! "Ms. Lerche, according to your job description, it was supposed to be an easy hit. Now that our assassin has gone missing, it shows that the job isn't as easy as you first described it. The money that you gave us is not enough to compensate us for losing the assassin." "You want to talk money with me? If you can't settle this issue satisfactorily, you'll see what's coming!" Melissa shrieked. She was livid about Riley's disappearance, and she had forgotten that she was talking to an assassin organization. She might be the client, but she would be the target if necessary. The assassin chuckled and replied, "Naïve woman!" Melissa flung her phone at the wall out of anger. Crash! The phone was smashed into bits, and the call was cut off. Melissa dashed out of her room and yelled, "Where is the driver? Bring me to the hospital now!" She arrived at
"What's wrong?" Bianca lowered her head and looked at Tommy. His round face was full of grievances as though someone had treated him unfairly. Tommy hugged her leg tightly and complained, "Mrs. Solana says that I can't sleep with you." The caretaker felt helpless when she heard the little boy say that, but she did not want to be too agitated in front of Luke. Bianca patted Tommy's head. Before she could say anything, Luke said, "Tommy, do you remember what I told you?" Tommy turned his head and looked at him. He thought for a long while before saying, "You said that I'm a big boy now!" "And you need to learn to be independent," Luke added the second half of the sentence that Tommy forgot. He bent over, patted Tommy's head, and picked him up. "That's why you should pick a room that you like and don't always cling to your Mommy." Tommy blinked innocently and reflected upon what his father told him. Eventually, Tommy compromised and jumped onto the floor. "Alright, I'll pick
After Bianca put her phone away, she felt Luke hug her from behind. "My wife." Luke's voice was cloying. He hugged her tightly as though intending to fuse her body with his. Bianca felt the firm hug from behind and casually placed her hands on his back. "Are you done with your work?" She said, feeling quite carefree. "Not yet. What did Dad and Mom say?" Luke asked curiously. He placed his chin on her hair and took in the fragrance of shampoo. Her unique body scent always refreshed him. Bianca smiled gently, turned around, and hugged his muscular waist. Luke's profound eyes were sparkling brighter than the stars in the night sky. She could see her reflection in those eyes. "They said that I should tell them if I need any help, but I told them not to worry because I have you beside me." Bianca leaned on his chest. The warmth on her cheek was like a volcano. Luke could hear the trust in her voice, which aroused him greatly. He bent over and picked her up. "Ah, Luke!" Bia
Tommy slurped a mouthful of spaghetti and smiled. "It's delicious, Mommy!" Bianca wiped the tomato sauce from his face with a napkin. "Here, have some juice." "I love you, Mommy," Tommy gave Bianca a flying kiss after his mouth was clean. Bianca's heart softened. Seeing that her kids were happy, she felt as though she could weather through any storm. Luke and she would maintain the happiness of this family. After the caretaker clocked in for work, Bianca changed into casual clothes, put on a mask and sunglasses, and left the mansion. The reporters scrutinized every one of her actions. She had to keep herself in disguise. Sean brought her to the hospital. The car stopped, and Gale came over to open the door. "Good morning, Madam," he greeted Bianca. "Good morning." Bianca lowered the brim of her hat in case someone recognized her. The news had continued to spread throughout the night. If someone recognized Bianca, they would say that she was a murderer. The power
"Who is this?" Riley asked. "Allegedly, she's supposed to be the nurse that Xavier hired to take care of you, but she's actually an assassin. She was going to inject a drug into your body to make your heart stop, but we've managed to subdue her in time." "Xavier sent her here?" Riley felt a sudden pang of anxiety, and tears fell from her eyes. She loved Xavier, but he had tried to… Bianca shook her head. If Xavier did not want the baby, he would have already forced Riley to abort it in the first three months of the pregnancy. "That's not necessarily the case. Maybe the person who harmed you had arranged for the assassin." Riley did not say anything. She flicked her finger and played the second video. In the video, Xavier was sitting in a nightclub drinking liquor. Riley could not see his expression clearly, but she could see that he was flanked by two women, and they were performing lewd acts. Looking at the details of the video, it was shot only yesterday. Riley coul
Bianca placed a lot of food products in her shopping cart. Sean followed closely behind her. He was fully aware of their surroundings. Bianca sighed. She thought that Sean would attract more attention to her. Fortunately, it was quite late in the morning, and there were not that many people in the supermarket. She pushed the shopping cart to Sean. "Can you help me with the shopping cart, Mr. Zander?" "Yes, Madam." Sean continued to push it. Bianca picked up some poultry and bought some fruits for the children. After piling the shopping cart with food, she said to Sean, "Let's go to the checkout counter, Mr. Zander." "Yes, Madam." Sean pushed the shopping cart to the checkout counter. There were not many counters that were open at that hour. Several people were queuing at each of those counters. Bianca randomly stood in line at one of the counters. Sean glanced at the queue in front of them. Those people had loaded shopping carts with them. "Madam, this supermarket b
Bianca went into the police station from the side entrance and met Sue. "Are you okay, Bianca?" Sue looked at her worriedly. Bianca shook her head and took off her mask. "I'm fine. There were no reporters at the side entrance. Where should I sign?" "Over here…" Sue paused for a while. "But I think you'll need to read the case report carefully." Bianca sat on a chair, and a police officer handed her the case report. "If there are no problems, please affix your signature on the last page of the report." "Mm." She took the report, read it, and understood why Sue said that. The security guard of the building had retracted his previous statement. He said that the person who had instructed him was not Maxine but rather Moxine, a woman with a similar name. The woman named Moxine had turned herself in. She was the general manager of Central Construction LLC, and she had bribed the security guard to install the virus because Bianca's company had snatched her clients. Everything
