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
Leia desperately squeezed her tears and wiped them on Brody's clothes. "Brody, I don't want to make things awkward for you. It’s okay that your family doesn't like me, let’s not force it. Our baby is a mistake!" Brody touched her belly and was upset. He promised her, "Okay, don't cry. My parents will stay for a while. I’ll convince them. Head back first, okay?" "Brody, I'm scared. Can you promise me one thing?" Leia's eyes were red and swollen from crying. She looked sad. Brody wiped her tears with his sleeves and asked, "What's the matter?" "I don't want to force you, but if we want to get married, we have to do it before the child is born. I don't want him to be called an illegitimate child. I was adopted. I don’t want our child to be bullied like I was when I was growing up. If… If you can’t marry me, let me know. I'll be considerate and go to the hospital..." Leia leaned on his chest and could not continue her sentence. Brody squeezed her hand tightly and r
"Leia..." Queenie was getting anxious. Leia was forced to share her issues under the gaze of four pairs of eyes. "Mom, it's the Hilton family. They’re bullying me." ‘Hilton? Brody Hilton?’ Bianca thought of the name in an instant, and her brows wrinkled slightly. ‘Leia got involved with Brody?’ Queenie was not sure what she was going on about, so she looked at her husband and then at Leia. "Which Hilton family?" "The Hilton family in the west of the city. They’re involved in foreign trade," Luke, who had been silent, said. Bianca was surprised that Luke knew who Leia was referring to. Leia kept silent. "Leia, how did they bully you? Tell me everything, I’ll make sure that you’re treated right." Queenie was gentle and chose to blindly believe in Leia. Although Leia was adopted, she shared a deep bond with her and would never allow anyone to mistreat her darling daughter. Leia cried and recounted what had happened at Hilton Residence. Of cour
Luke and Johann walked out of the bedroom. The two were sitting on the sofa and smoking cigarettes. Johann suddenly remembered something. He smiled and asked, "Does your family have any great news?” Luke frowned suspiciously. "What's the great news?" Johann was not someone who gossiped regularly. He only randomly mentioned it because he was bored. He took a puff and said, "I saw that movie star, your wife's sister, going for an appointment with an obstetrics and gynecology specialist in our hospital. A man accompanied her for the examination. I heard that she’s been coming to the hospital for several months." Bianca walked out and heard what he said, so she asked, "Who’s pregnant?" "The second daughter of the Norman family, your sister," Johann replied and was curious why both of them seemed to know nothing about it. Although Bianca and Leia were not related by blood and had a little conflict because of Luke, their relationship should not be so
