"What? Aren't you worried about your safety?" Bianca's eyes opened wide when she heard what Luke said. She tried to stop her heart from beating too hard. She had lived those past few days in agony because she could not find a solution. Every night, she would have nightmares of Luke being taken away by enforcement officers. She would wake up drenched in sweat, but she was helpless about it. She did not expect that Luke already knew about the CD with the incriminating evidence, but he was not worried at all. Did he not know the grave consequences if the contents of the CD were leaked? Luke's big hand gripped Bianca's lower jaw hard and made her chin hurt. "Why didn't you tell me that something so serious happened? Don't you know that I was so relieved when I knew that you rejected my proposal because of the CD, but at the same time, I was angry because you didn't tell me?" Bianca fell silent. She did not know how to tell him; she did not want any harm to come to him. Lo
An enchanting scene in a hotel at night. A man wore a mask that covered half of his face. The uncovered half was extraordinarily handsome. Gordan Norton was hugging a woman. Suddenly, he saw a very faint red light from outside the window. Hugging the woman in his arms tight, he swiftly rolled off the bed. A silenced bullet sliced through the air and landed on where the man was lying a second earlier. A hole appeared on the bed! Two men in black balaclavas barged in from the window. Seeing that their assassination attempt had failed, they pointed the guns in their hands at the masked man. Before they could pull the trigger, the masked man had already pulled out a gun and delivered a bullet to each of them. Gordan's gun skills were impeccable. The bullets landed between the eyes of the assassins! Blood flowed from their foreheads. The two assassins had died even before they realized it. Their eyes remained wide open in disbelief that someone could have such a fast rea
The next day. Leia sat in the makeup room while a makeup artist worked on her face. She browsed on her phone, eager to look at the latest updates on Bianca's scandal. She could imagine Bianca's face at that moment. However, as Leia scrolled through her Twitter feed and looked at the various accounts of the major influencers and media outlets, she could not find any scandalous news about Bianca. Leia was shocked. She realized that something was amiss. She could still find news and gossip about Bianca at midnight yesterday. How could everything disappear in just one night? Most shockingly, when she tried to search for the accounts that Charmaine had contacted to share Bianca's article, all of them seemed to have disappeared. She could not find anything in the search bar… Leia started to panic. She immediately dialed Charmaine's number, disregarding the fact that she was in a makeup session. However, no one answered the call, no matter how many times she dialed the numbe
Bianca glanced at the photo on Bella's phone. Suddenly, she laughed. "I was wondering what you're going to show me. Turns out that it's just a few photos. How sure are you that the woman in those photos is me? Image editing technology is so advanced now. It's so easy to transplant someone's face onto another body. Moreover, the so-called evidence provided by the article is full of errors. Do you actually believe it? Are you three years old?" As Bella looked at her phone while churning her brain, trying to find a retort, Bianca continued, "Haven't you realized something else too? Every account that shared the article is banned. Can you open the link to the article? You can't! How could that happen? It's because the article is false and libelous. Mr. Crawford has already reported the article to the authorities, and anyone who shares it will face legal consequences." Nina glared at Bella, then at the nosy male colleague. Bella could feel her heart skip a beat. She was starting to
Luke could tell that Bianca was feeling anxious. He hugged her tightly in his arms, almost hoping that they would fuse into one. "Don't worry about it. It’ll be over soon." Bianca smiled gently. She stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips. "We'll wait for you to come back." Luke lowered his head and pecked Bianca's delicate and graceful neck. Then, Luke drove off. From the second floor of the villa, Bianca looked at the Bentley until it disappeared from view. She felt helpless. Of course, she was uncomfortable thinking about Luke's "date" with Leia Norman. She knew that Luke was only acting, but Bianca felt uneasy about it. However, at that stage, there is no way to solve the CD incident completely except for being patient. … Leia wore sunglasses and was in a superb mood that night. She drove her luxury car to the parking lot near Restaurant Nine. Leia parked the car and was about to get out of the driver's seat when she saw a dark figure in
Leia had worn a white dress because she thought that she looked pure and innocent in white. Someone once told her that she looked like a beautiful flower when she wore white. On the way to the restaurant, Dexter had dirtied Leia's dress. It might not be an obvious stain, but Leia, perfectionist that she was, went to the boutique next door and bought a new set of clothes. After Leia changed her clothes and arrived at Restaurant Nine, Luke was not there yet. In the luxurious restaurant, Leia sat by the windows. She was looking at the city lights with an unwilling expression on her beautiful face.On a normal date, the man would be the one waiting for the woman at the restaurant. However, she went as far as making a booking in advance and waited for Luke. She felt wronged... Leia was dressed in an elegant yellow cocktail dress. Paired with her alluring makeup, she looked classic and dreamy under the restaurant lights. Her expression carried a trace of p
At the dining table, Leia looked at Luke, completely fascinated. She did not notice the coldness in his eyes. She said while acting shy, "That's not hard to believe. No woman can escape your charm. You're a smart man, and you should know how I feel about you. It was deep and sincere love at first sight." Luke concealed the sarcasm in his eyes, and he said in a neutral tone, "Thank you, Ms. Norman. I’m not worthy of your love." He looked at his watch and found that it was close to 8 p.m. He knew that Bianca would be anxiously waiting for him. Luke said, "Ms. Norman, are you done with your dinner? I have something else that I need to attend to. See you next time."Leia was unwilling, but she nodded when she noticed Luke's coldness. "Well, if you have something to attend to, please feel free to head back. I’ll see you soon." She knew that she had to be patient in her quest to claim Luke’s heart. She should not rush him. Otherwise, all her previous efforts would h
Bianca's phone slid from her hand to the ground and made a loud sound. In the chat group, Nina kept texting Bianca. [Are you okay, Bea? What's going on? Are you fighting with the boss again?] The chat notifications were getting to Luke, and so he turned off Bianca’s phone. "Let go of me." Bianca was pressed against the wall by Luke. Bianca tried her best to wriggle her way out while being mindful of the baby in her womb. Luke felt a little frustrated seeing her wriggling like a disobedient rabbit in his arms. He pressed down on her shoulders and lifted her chin. "Throwing a tantrum again, hm?" Bianca kicked him and glanced at him. "You’re late. How was your romantic date with Leia?" Luke choked when he heard Bianca's words. He carried her and strode towards the bedroom. Luke's arms held not only his wife but also their third child. He jokingly said, "If it feels good to date other women, I won't be rushing home to be with you now. Stop thro
