Maxine glanced at the couple disdainfully. She would have driven them out of the private room if not that she had important business. Hera could sense her disdain. She cleared her throat and whispered into Harvey's ear. "You said that you have some dirt on Bianca. What is it?" Maxine asked impatiently. Earlier that day, Hera read a post in the local forum. Someone was paying a high price for any dirt on Bianca Rayne. After meeting Bianca while on vacation, Hera's luck took a turn for the worse. She lost a fortune at the casino, and Harvey did not help her. She happened to be in dire need of money, so she told that person that she was Bianca's classmate in junior high and that she had a lot of dirt on Bianca. She did not expect it to work. Someone contacted her and asked her to meet face-to-face. Hera smiled. "What kind of dirt do you want?" "Something that can ruin her." Maxine's gaze was sinister. She gritted her teeth hatefully when she thought of Bianca's face. "That
Harvey added an ice cube to Hera’s drink. "Babe you’re not enjoying it the way it should be enjoyed. Whiskey is best drunk neat. Forget it, I'll add some ice for you. I don’t want you to get drunk." He had no intention of carrying her home. Hera took another sip of her drink. The whiskey was diluted with ice cubes and tasted much better now. She was annoyed with Harvey and thought to herself, ‘Sure enough, this is what you'd expect from people that come from new money. Money can’t buy class and taste. This is so much better with ice.’ If it were not for his thick wallet, Hera would not be bothered to entertain him. He did not have the looks nor the body. Worst of all, he was terrible in bed. Harvey reached out his hand to grab her waist, kissed her, and asked, "Babe, I didn't expect your classmate's scoop to be worth so much." Hera thought that there would be a negotiation. She did not expect the other party to make such a big deal. "She’s a prime example
"It’s all my fault. I was eager to know the truth so I pushed her for it. I didn't think it through and thought that her mental state would be able to take it. It was never my intention to trigger her... I can somewhat relate to how she feels now, and I think it’d be good if I spent some time with her," Bianca explained while she held his hand and whispered in his ears, trying to get him to agree with her. "Luke, let me go. Else, I won’t be able to sleep at night from the guilt." She felt she had to talk to Riley. Luke could not say no to her. Bianca may seem like a gentlewoman, but the moment she insisted on something, she would not stop until she got what she wanted. He looked at Johann and asked, "Will that woman suddenly go mad again?" Johann shook his head. "No, her condition has stabilized." He had thoroughly evaluated Riley's condition. She would be fine if no one intentionally tried to trigger her. Luke knew that he could not stop Bianca, so he sai
Riley opened his eyes and there was a look of hatred in them. Rain did not say much, so she could ignore the few words she uttered from time to time and just be immersed in her sad world. However, she could not ignore Bianca's words... Riley tried to sit up, but her body was weak after the operation so she could not sit upright. Her hands trembled. "Bianca, stop pretending like you care. Go away!" Bianca had anticipated this reaction and put down the bowl. She stood by the hospital bed and bowed. "I’m sorry." Rain was surprised and uttered, "Madam?" Riley was taken back as well. "Bianca, what are you up to?" Bianca explained herself, "What I said yesterday was a little harsh and I’m really sorry that I hurt you." At that time, she just wanted to help her out of her fantasy and sorrow, but she never thought that it might be too much for Riley. Riley shrank in a corner warily, staying silent. Luke was the most powerful man in A City and s
"I'll go to the kitchen to help." Luke kissed Bianca's cheek lightly and walked to the kitchen with two bottles of wine. "Okay." Bianca smiled slightly, her gaze following him to the kitchen before she withdrew it. Queenie was initially a little frustrated at Luke because of Bianca’s injury but seeing this tender scene, her dissatisfaction gradually subsided. Sometimes, hits and bumps were inevitable. As long as Luke treated Bianca well and she was happy, she could feel assured as her mother. "Bea, come and help me arrange the flowers?" Queenie put a black porcelain vase in front of her. Bianca nodded, trimmed a perfume lily, put it into the porcelain vase. She gave it some nutrients. She had not gone for any flower arrangement classes but she was so talented that it looked good even when she just intuitively arranged them. Bianca put in a bunch of gypsophila as an embellishment. She glanced at Queenie and slowly said, "Mom, was there anything specifi
"Luke, this incident has damaged Bea's reputation. It can't drag on. After Bea married you, there have been many misfortunes. If you can't protect her, let me protect her." Jack was distressed when he thought about his darling daughter. Since he found out about the kind of person Leia was, he had paid more attention to Bianca. He could not accept that his favorite daughter was constantly hurt and wronged. After all, Bianca was his flesh and blood. Jack felt bad that she had to grow up without him and go through so many hardships alone. He was comforted that she still had good conduct and a kind heart. Luke thought to himself that Jack was here to warn him. It seemed that he was dissatisfied with how the matter was being handled. He then told Jack everything. After Luke was done talking, Jack’s stern expression finally turned into a smile. "Not bad, you’re quite far-sighted." He thought it was a simple accident that Bianca was unintentionally involved
"Shut up!" Grandma Hilton was fed up with Leia’s crying and weeping. Her gaze was cold as she played with the bangle around her wrist. "I'm talking to Brody, who are you to jump into the conversation like that? How rude! You call yourself Mr. Norman’s adopted daughter?" Brody coaxed, "Grandma, please don't be angry. Leia can’t control her emotions, she’s just trying to be nice." Grandma Hilton looked at the herbs on the coffee table, then at Leia's slightly bulging belly. She snorted coldly and said, "Brody, I love you, but do you think I’m old and confused? I know why she chose to visit today. Today is the day when your parents are coming back. She’s thinking that if your parents agree to it, she can then marry into the Hilton family. You’re blinded by love, don’t you see?" Leia wanted to marry into the Hilton family just because she was pregnant? Never! Grandma Hilton's attitude was unwavering. As long as she lived, she would never allow it. "Grandma, Leia is
Tania looked at Leia indifferently and said, "Leia Norman, right? I‘ve heard about you. You’re an actress who used to be fairly popular." When she heard that, Leia knew that Tania was not a fan of hers… Maybe it was because she did not like that she was in the entertainment industry. Leia explained herself, "I chose to enter the entertainment industry to fulfill my mother's wishes. When she was young, she wanted to be a star." Tania's gaze was sharp. She walked over and sat down on the velvet sofa laced with gold thread. The caretaker poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her. She picked up the teacup and took a sip. "This needs more tea leaves."The nanny said immediately, "I'll make you another cup." Brody gave Leia a look, sat down, and massaged Tania's shoulders while praising Leia. "Mom, although Leia is an actress, she’s also a kind and wonderful girl. She’s not what you’d expect for someone who’s an actress." Tania watched her son rant about Le
