Bianca's eyes looked at Queenie, who was daintily sipping her tea! She no longer had any positive impressions of that woman. Bianca knew that many people opposed her relationship with Luke because of their mismatched statuses, but she did not expect that the woman whom she had met for the first time was already asking her to leave Luke on her own accord. "Whatever your motives might be, Mrs. Norman, I will not leave him," Bianca said coldly. She did not have any respect for Queenie. Queenie fiddled elegantly with her teacup, but her words were harsh. "Bianca, you are newly in love with Luke, and you might find that everything is romantic. However, you should know that falling in love is different from marriage. It's not a matter between two individuals but two families. "Luke is Allison Tanner's son, and I am good friends with Allison. I know her very well. She wouldn't agree to an unremarkable woman like you being introduced into the household. Without your parents' blessing
"You're overthinking it. There are so many people in the world who look like each other. Look at Leia. She has two stunt doubles at work that look like her… It's nothing out of the ordinary. If people who look alike are related to each other by blood, then there are so many pairs of long-lost parents and children in the world," Queenie said carelessly. Even when she said so, her gaze fell on the red wine in the glass. The bright red liquid seemed to reflect the defiant figure on the observation deck. The young woman named Bianca Rayne might look frail, but she was not easy to handle. Queenie's gaze returned to calmness. Bianca was an obstacle in her daughter's path to pursue happiness. Queenie would do anything so that her daughter was happy. She had owed too much to her birth daughter, who had left the world prematurely, and she would spend all her love and care on Leia. … After greeting several important guests, Leia sat next to the bar counter with her friend and ate
Leia saw her reflection in the glass panel. The pure white evening gown with an oblique shoulder had a plunging V neckline that revealed her fair cleavage. The pleats behind revealed a large portion of her back. The gown also had a high side slit that caused her long and slender legs to move in and out of sight as she walked. With her pure looks and seductive gown, Leia believed that she was beautiful and bewitching. She nodded at herself, satisfied. She might look down on Charmaine's sexual habits, but she had to admit that Charmaine had great fashion sense. After many years of friendship, her fashion sense was influenced by Charmaine. The guests offered praise to Leia as she walked by. Some men even asked her for her number, which greatly satisfied Leia's pride. However, she was feeling extremely nervous, even more so than her shooting her first movie. Her heart thumped wildly as she looked at Luke, who was talking to some other people… She frowned. She needed a
In the event hall. "Cheers!" Three equally outstanding men with different appearances clinked their wine glasses together. They attracted the attention of many women around them. It could be said that the three individuals amassed the wealth of the entire A City. The first was Luke Crawford, the CEO of T Corporation, the second was Percy Mallory, CEO of Mallory Corporation, and the third was Jim Holston, the chairman of Holston Corporation. Not many people knew that the three people with different personalities were good friends in college. The three of them have maintained a close relationship since then. Luke's facial features were impeccable, and his temperament was calm and mature. His profound gaze was dangerous and penetrating, which caused men to tremble and women to be flustered. Even though the man was famous in the business circles inside and outside of the country, he had kept a clean-living image and was the top target of admiration for female socialites in A City
It was the first time that Jim and Percy had met Bianca. Bianca was beautiful like a pearl, and her femininity was unique. She exuded a motherly charm when she was patiently comforting the naughty Simon. Luke's eyes had been eagerly transfixed on Bianca's pure face the moment she appeared. That made Leia extremely jealous. "Daddy!" Simon held Bianca's hand, walked up to his father, and hugged his leg. "Daddy, I found this beautiful lady at the observation deck. She's Lanie and Rainie's mommy, and she's very nice. Can you find me a mommy as nice as her?" He happily introduced Bianca to his father. Jim pulled his son's ear and pretended to be angry. "You brat, I've found so many mommies for you, but they've all ran away because you keep pranking them. What makes you think that I'll find another one?" Simon pouted, covered his eyes, and pretended to cry. "Daddy, those women are ugly and stinky. They don't smell as nice as this lady. And, and… they're all wicked witches. They
Wayne was very good at anti-reconnaissance. He pushed Leia's face toward his chest. No one could see the woman in his arms clearly. They would think that he was a playboy flirting with a woman. After all, it was a common occurrence in high-class hotels. That was how Wayne avoided detection by the hidden cameras. He went out of the hotel with the half-conscious Leia in his hands. After that, he flung her into a black luxury car and started to greedily tear her clothes. Leia's gown was already skimpy. It did not take him long to remove all her clothes. The man's brazen gaze devoured Leia, whose consciousness continued to slip away. 'Hmm, this woman has a fine face. I didn't expect that she also has an excellent figure that can bewitch any man!' His body flared with the fires of desire, and he pounced onto Leia like a moth drawn to a flame! 'Oh! 'My god! 'What a perfect woman!' Wayne loved that body dearly, but that made him want to ravage her more! Leia slowly r
In the middle of the field was a T-shaped stage. Perhaps there was an event in the school. It was already almost midnight. No one was on the field except for the couple. It was a snow-white world. Luke and Bianca walked hand-in-hand toward the stage, leaving behind two pairs of footsteps. He carried Bianca onto the stage and climbed up himself. From his jacket, he took out the fireworks they bought from the convenience store, crouched down, and lit them with his lighter. Bianca stood next to him, watching the spark travel down the fuse. Soon, the fireworks shot high into the air. Boom! A beautiful tree of fire appeared in the sky with a thousand expanding blooms. The dark sky was instantly illuminated with a brilliant display of colors. Bianca reflexively closed her eyes. Luke took her hand and stepped backward. The brilliant flames shone vividly, illuminating them as well as the sky. Bianca felt extremely happy. The cheap fireworks only worth several dollars co
Bianca did not want to anger Luke by telling him about her encounter with Queenie, but she would feel uneasy if she did not. It was not easy for her to be where she was now. She was afraid that she would lose this blissful scene. After all, she was too unremarkable. The other women who coveted the man came from powerful and influential families. "Luke, I'll strive to become a world-renowned designer so that I can stand shoulder to shoulder with you. That way, there won't be as many rumors and negative remarks even if we're together." Bianca whispered into his ear. Her warm breath had traces of melancholy. "I believe in your capabilities, and you should believe in yourself more. Success isn't achieved overnight, and there is much room for you to grow. You'll have to take it slow, but I believe that my Bianca will one day stand on the pinnacle of the world, living the life that you want… Perhaps even I might find it difficult to reach that height," Luke said as he carried Bianc
