"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
Bianca quickly blocked Maxine's hand and said seriously, "We're in the police station now. Are you sure you want to slap her and get the lawyer to bail you out again?" Maxine took her hand back in anger, and her eyes were wide open in anger. "Don't be so smug, Bianca Rayne. All you have is Luke helping you, but you keep on courting trouble for him. Sooner or later, Luke will tire of you, and your good life will come to an end!" Bianca remained calm despite the instigation. She knew very well what Luke thought of her. It did not matter what other people said. Her clear eyes remained cold as she replied impassively, "I'll enjoy my good life for now, then. Also, Ms. Douglas, you're not that close with my husband, and it's more appropriate that you address him as 'Mr. Crawford.'" Sue could not help but smile. Bianca seemed gentle and pliant, but she had a sharp tongue. Seeing that Maxine's face had already turned beet-red, Sue added, "Some shameless women covet other women's hu
The microphone landed accurately on Bianca's forehead. Instantly, blood spurted from her forehead and flowed down. She stumbled two steps backward. The pain caused her vision to blur. Before she fell down, she could hear Sean screaming at her. "Madam!" Bianca lost consciousness, and her body leaned backward. Sean made up his mind, mouthed an apology, and carried her in his arms. Maxine burst out laughing when she saw Sean being all flustered while carrying Bianca in his arms. "She fainted just like that? Looks like I've gone too easy on her." She thought that the scene was not chaotic enough. "The driver is here and waiting at the entrance, Ms. Douglas," the lawyer reminded her. "I know." Maxine shot a final glance at the chaos. She swore that she would not let go of Bianca that easily, and she would eventually claim Luke as hers. … When Bianca regained consciousness, she found herself lying on the bed in the mansion. "Ugh," she grunted when she felt the pain on her
Luke glanced at her feet with a sinister gaze. "They stepped on your feet." It was only then that Bianca realized that her feet were hurting. The pain on her forehead overshadowed the pain on her feet. It was unavoidable that she was stepped on in the chaos. "Luke," Bianca said softly, "I'm not a saint, and I'm not speaking up for them, but I don't want to cause even more trouble at this time." To the public, she was a cruel and despicable woman. Even though the reporters were at fault, people would think that she deserved it, and the reporters would be treated as the victims. Bianca did not want Luke's reputation to be implicated as well. Luke knew that she was worried about him and sighed. "Alright, I won't do anything to them." Bianca was not worried about herself but worried that she would bring more trouble to him. "How is Riley?" Bianca asked. "Johann is looking after her." Luke tapped on the tip of her nose. "Why are you worrying about others when you're not feel
Johann knew about that, but he did not stop. After removing Riley's restraints, he sat on the stool nearby and read through her medical records that he brought along with him. Seeing that he was like that, Rain rubbed her nose and sat down on the couch. Twenty minutes later, Riley began to twitch and slowly return to her senses. "She's awake?" Johann put the medical records away and wagged a pen in front of her eyes. Seeing that Riley's eyes were following the pen, he put away the pen and took her pulse. She was generally healthy, other than the fact that her body was weak. Rain stood up and watched their interaction warily. If Riley went berserk, she would be ready to protect Johann. "Doc… tor…" Riley was not fully awake yet. She spoke with much difficulty. "Mm," Johan replied. He turned around and told Rain, "You should leave the ward for now." "But…" Rain hesitated to leave Johann in the ward alone with Riley. "You'll be distracting me," Johann insisted. Rain
Luke put the clothes at the side, picked up the hand towel from the basin and wrung it dry, and gently wiped her face, as though he was afraid that he might hurt her delicate skin. "Not even women," he said domineeringly. Bianca belonged to him. No other person can see her naked body. "Alright then," Bianca said with a smile after Luke had cleaned her face. Luke's hands rested on her clothes. Bianca suddenly felt nervous. Her heart started to beat faster, and she grabbed his hands. "I'll do it myself." She had cleaned Luke's body when he was injured, but when the roles were reserved, she somehow found it embarrassing. Luke pulled his hands away and continued to unbutton her shirt. "Why are you nervous, Bea?" Bianca's face was not as pale as before. She was blushing slightly, which made her face a seductive pink color. "I'm not." She let go of her hands and grabbed the bed sheets instead. Luke chuckled and undid the last button. "If it were before, I wouldn't have fo
