The suspicion in Bianca's heart grew stronger as she neared the room… Her heart was beating faster and faster, though she forced herself to be calm. She knocked the door twice out of courtesy, and she heard a low and familiar male voice coming from inside. "Come in." She pushed open the door and smelled a strong scent of cigarettes which made her even more nervous. Looking around the room, she did not see Nina inside. Just when she was about to turn around and leave, a hand pulled her into the room from behind, and the door closed with a bang. Alarm bells rang in Bianca's heart when she saw Xavier! She did not know what was going on. "Did you send the message using Bianca's phone, Xavier? What do you want?" She asked angrily. Xavier cackled ominously. He gripped Bianca's chin and wanted to force a kiss on her. Bianca was not going to yield. She reflexively slapped him, but he caught her wrist in time. Xavier appreciated Bianca's body with his eyes. He kneaded her fair
Bianca was trembling with rage. She tried her best to suppress her feelings and managed to calm herself down. "Don't involve other people in our matters, Xavier. Nina is innocent. I hope that you can let her go." Bianca forced herself to be calm, but she found that she could not be calm at all. Xavier stubbed out his cigarette and looked into her eyes. "That'll be easy, Bianca. I don't want the divorce." "Xavier Tanner, you despicable man!" Bianca wanted to tear him into a thousand pieces. "It's not like you don't know me. I'm willing to do anything as long as I achieve my ends!" Xavier was not embarrassed by Bianca's reproach. Instead, that piqued his interest. "The man in the video is Pierre Mallory, the Second Young Master of the Mallory family. You should have heard about the Mallory family, right? Pierre is a vicious one. He always repays his grudges no matter how small they may be. If you're lucky, you might survive after losing a hand or a foot. If you're not, you'll b
Bianca was visibly surprised when she saw Walter sitting on the couch. Walter was dressed in a fitting business suit and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face. He looked diligent and capable like a societal elite. "Good morning, Ms. Rayne." He smiled and greeted Bianca. Rainie ran to Bianca's side when she saw her and twirled around happily. "Look, Mommy. Uncle Walter gave me this hairband. Doesn't it look nice?" Bianca's troubles were not relieved by the little girl's cheerful laughter. She picked up Rainie in her arms and squeezed a smile. "It looks nice. You're the nicest little girl in the whole world," she said. The little girl's laughter echoed in the living room. Rainie kissed Bianca on the cheek and said, "I love Mommy the most!" Lanie was sitting on the couch, channel surfing with the remote control in his hand. He rolled his eyes toward his sister's childish actions. 'How vain,' he thought. It was the first time Walter had seen the two children int
Allison glanced at Bianca with disgust, walking into the living room, and tossed the expensive LV handbag on the couch as though she was in her own house. Her gaze swept over the living room like a radar. She did not see Luke anywhere. Then, she went into the bathroom to search for clues. Bianca stepped unhappily in front of her. "What are you doing here? What do you want?" Allison saw a pair of men's slippers and two child-sized slippers next to the shower. She almost blew her top! She pointed at Bianca's face and started to yell. "Is it fun being a seductress? How shameless can you be, Bianca? You're now Xavier's wife, so what are you doing with my son? Not only have you taken hold of him, but you're also not showing my grandchildren any mercy! I was wondering why I haven't seen Luke and my two good grandchildren in the house. So they're with you. Is there any other woman in this world that's as shameless as you?" Bianca was trembling after hearing Allison's harsh words.
Allison took a deep breath. She did not want to throw a tantrum in front of her grandchildren. "Don't be deceived by this woman, my babies. She's a wicked woman, a seductress with a black heart. Be good children and follow your Grandma home. Your Great-Grandpa misses you…" Bianca could feel her heart being torn into pieces. Allison had said that about her in front of her children. She was about to speak when Lanie suddenly turned around. "You've become prettier, Grandma. I hope that you won't be angry or lose your temper. My teacher said that you'll be ugly if you're always angry. I hope that you'll be forever pretty, Grandma," Rainie said as she diligently massaged Allison's legs. Allison laughed when she heard Rainie's words. She enjoyed the special treatment, and her tone of voice became gentler. "You're such a charmer. Have you been eating sweets?" Rainie counted on her cute little fingers. "One, two three… hmm, I can't remember how many sweets I've eaten, but it was a lo
"P… Please give us another chance to correct ourselves, Mr. Crawford! We promise that it won't ever happen again!" Cold sweat poured from Mr. Smith's forehead when Luke glared at him. He hoped that Luke would give him another chance. However, Mr. Robel's eyes flashed with disdain. He was a nationalistic man, and he did not believe that the foreigner would do anything drastic to them! Moreover, not only was he the general manager, but he was also the head chef. His culinary skills were top-notch. Regal would stand to lose a lot without him! Out of everyone's expectations, Luke said, "I apologize, Mr. Robel, but Regal has no further need for your services. You can clear your desk and leave." "What? I've toiled for Regal for the past three years, and this is what I get? How dare you fire me, you filthy foreigner?" Mr. Robel was livid. He stood up abruptly, slammed the conference table, and swore at Luke. The other members of the higher management dared not speak a word. 'W
On the other side of the world, Leia found Xavier in the bar. He was drunk, and she dragged him away from the pile of drunkards. "What's wrong with you? I thought that you have a certain way with women? Has it all gone to the dogs? You can't even handle just one Bianca!" Leia snatched Xavier's wine glass and tossed it carelessly on the floor. Xavier's eyes flashed with hostility. "Get lost! You don't have to interfere with my personal business!" Leia was dumbfounded. As Jack Norman's daughter, no one had dared to speak to her with that tone. She wanted to teach Xavier a lesson, but she remembered the reason she was there. "I'm not here to pick a fight with you, Xavier. You love Bianca, right? Why aren't you out there pursuing her, but instead drinking your brains away?" Earlier, Allison had given her a call and invited her to go shopping together. Leia agreed to the invitation because she wanted to gain Allison's favor. Unexpectedly, Allison complained to her that Bianca
Half an hour later, Bianca appeared in Room 6617 of Yale Hotel. When Xavier opened the door, he saw Bianca drenched to the bone. Her black hair was scattered, and she was as pale as a ghost. The expression on her face was utter despair. "I'm here. Can you let go of Nina now?" Xavier was stunned for a moment. He violently dragged Bianca into his embrace without a care for her freezing cold skin. His index fingers stroked her lips, and his eyes gazed piercingly at her. "Indeed, I was right. My wife is a loyal woman." Bianca's eyes flashed vengefully. "I'm here. Let Nina go!" "There's no rush." Xavier pinched her chin with his fingers, and his eyes took in Bianca's soaking-wet body. "I can't bear to see you cold and shivering. Be a good girl and go take a shower." Bianca walked to the bathroom like a doll without a soul, then obediently took a shower. She stepped out of the bathroom dressed only in a bathrobe. She repeated the same sentence. "Let Nina go." Wet long hair fe
