The host of the clubhouse glared at Melissa coldly. His tone of voice was like Arctic ice. "Miss, we do not tolerate such behavior here. This is a high-end place, and we do not welcome any guests who do not behave themselves. No one can insult any of my honored guests. You keep saying that my guest is a thief, but what you have lost is only a 900,000 dollar item. Anything of Mr. Crawford's presents to his woman would have cost at least millions. Would she be bothered about your diamond necklace? What nonsense!" The other guests in the clubhouse exclaimed in surprise. Indeed, Luke Crawford was richer than some countries. Any of his woman's accessories would have cost millions. Would she be bothered about stealing a 900,000-dollar necklace?The woman had been yelling that Mr. Crawford's woman was a thief, but she did not have any evidence. She must have lost her mind for accusing Mr. Crawford's woman in public. Melissa had been slapped first by Xavier, then by Luke. She was like
In the private room, a purebred Persian cat was sleeping lazily on the snow-white fur carpet. The Persian cat's long fur blended perfectly with the carpet… Bianca did not notice it. She nearly stepped on the cat's tail with her high heels, which caused the sleeping cat to suddenly pounce. As it pounced, it bared its teeth and hissed at Bianca, which gave her a huge shock! She instinctively took a step backward, and she lost balance. If not that Luke supported her in time, she would have fallen on the floor! "Are you OK?" Luke held Bianca in her arms while staring daggers at the "perpetrator." The Persian cat was not intimidated by the man's imposing aura. It shook its fur and started at the family of four with its sky-blue eyes. It looked like an arrogant but graceful noblewoman. Rainie could not help but fall in love with that cute and furry creature. She excitedly crouched down and stared at the cat while petting its soft fur. "Wow, Mommy, this cat is so pretty!"
Leia knew from Allison that Luke was having dinner at Blue Honors. She dressed up and wanted to surprise him with her appearance. She did not expect that Bianca was together with him. 'What's so good about Bianca that he loved him so much?' What made Leia even more disconcerted was that she had met Scarlett Quincy, a girl from the same orphanage. Leia closed her eyes, trying hard not to think of those detestable memories. Unfortunately, scenes from the past replayed in her mind like a movie. When they were taken in by the orphanage at the same time, Leia was six years old, while Scarlett was five. Back then, Leia was emaciated, and she did not speak much. She looked as though she came out of a refugee camp. Meanwhile, Scarlett was dressed in a puffy princess dress and wearing a tiara. She was as beautiful as an angel. Scarlett had a good temperament, and she knew how to sing, dance, and tell stories. Every child in the orphanage, no matter girl or boy, liked her and con
Leia's hand clenched onto the handbag tightly as she stared at the scene.Even though it was as if a stormy sea was rumbling in her heart, she still had to put on a look on her face to show and pretend that there was nothing wrong."Scarlett Quincy, room number three." Suddenly, a woman who looked like the maître d'hôtel called Scarlett in a hurry."Got it, I'll be there soon! Excuse me, miss, I have something else to attend to.” Scarlett smiled apologetically at Bianca.Bianca smiled and nodded, motioning her to go ahead.After Scarlett left, Luke thoughtfully picked up Bianca bridal style and walked into the private room.When Leia saw how thoughtful Luke was when taking care of Bianca in front of her, she was deeply hurt.‘Bianca Rayne?!‘Bianca Rayne??!‘She’s nothing but a plain old Jane! Why should Luke treat her any differently?’Leia thought about all the things she had done for Luke, how much she had devoted herself to him, but he had never treated her that tenderly
After Leia took the item from the man's hand, she carefully stuffed it into the pocket of her jacket.She walked toward Blue Honors.When she passed a crossroad, a dirty hand suddenly grabbed the corner of her coat. "Miss, can you do me favor? Can you spare some change?”Leia took off her sunglasses.She frowned in disgust when she saw a shaggy homeless person tugging on the corner of her clothes.The homeless man was drunk and wore a shabby jacket with holes. His clothes were dirty, and his natural skin color was barely visible from all the dirt. His face was in a horrible mess and it seemed as if he had not washed his face for at least a week.Leia could not stand his sloppy and dirty appearance."Piss off!" Leia rudely kicked the homeless man away with her high-heeled boots.When she saw the stains on the corner of her clothes where the homeless man had touched, Leia's brows furrowed deeper.It seemed that the new coat that she had just bought not long ago was about to be t
Leia leaned against the wall of the bathroom and almost exploded in anger due to the Persian cat.No matter how much she tried to tempt the cat with the canned cat food, it would not get down from the flower stand! It was a freaking cunning little thing!No matter what, she had to inject the liquid medicine into the cat.Otherwise, she could not go ahead with the next step of her plan!Leia took off her high-heeled boots and climbed barefoot onto the sink. She wanted to grab the cat from the flower stand down herself.Unexpectedly, the snow-white Persian cat seemed to guess her intentions. When Leia had just climbed onto the sink, it jumped off the flower stand directly onto the ground.At the same time, its sharp claws scratched Leia’s white and tender flesh when it passed by her!If Leia had not reacted quick enough and blocked her face with her arm in time, her beautiful face would have been sliced through by that time.Leia almost fell down.Meanwhile, the Persian cat even
Everyone was shocked by the sudden scene.The tiny little Rainie was even more frightened and puzzled. She could only watch with her eyes wide as the crazy white cat clawed right at her.The little girl's eyes were wide open from the horror."Rainie!"Right at this critical moment, the maternal instinct and love in Bianca made her grab Rainie and Lanie, protecting them in her arms. She hid their little faces tightly in her chest and used her back to resist the attack of the white cat.The white cat went mad. Its snow-white fur that covered its body stood upright like thorns and its bright blue eyes faintly glowed red. Its sharp claws caught right into Bianca's sweater!"Go away!” Bianca pushed the white cat off her shoulder fiercely.She did not understand how the purring little obedient and quiet Persian cat from just now that was lovable and cute became like this.How did the cat’s temperament change drastically, becoming cruel and abnormal in a manner of mere minutes?!!The
The man’s familiar and scorching breath struck Bianca…The smell of his male hormones that made people feel at ease filled Bianca's nose. When she smelled the masculine and chilly smell from Luke's body as he held her neck tightly, Bianca's fear in her head slowly faded. She started to feel at ease.She had not felt anything before, but after she saw Luke, her sadness suddenly poured out like spring water.Bianca whispered, "Luke..."Luke hugged her tightly and sat on a nearby bench with Bianca on his lap.The man gazed over at the wounds on her neck, and the pain in his heart showed on his face.At the same time, there was an unquenchable hostility that lingered in his eyes!Bianca subconsciously covered the scratches on her neck with her hands because she did not want him to see her ugly wounds.Luke leaned forward to tuck a lock of her hair that was bouncing on her cheek behind her ear.After that, he lifted Bianca's tiny chin. "I look away for one second and you get yourse
