Chapter 237 Announcing the Identity of the Birth Mother to the Children
Luke pressed the glowing cigarette onto Marie's delicate, well-maintained cheek. In a shock, she immediately covered her face, her brows tightly knotted from the pain.
She looked at the tall and mysterious man standing in front of her, and it was only some time later that she comprehended what he said...
'Is he standing up for Bianca?
'Did he mistake her for someone else?' "You're... you're the lunatic!" Jennifer did not recognize who Luke was, but from his appearance, she could tell that he was not a good person.
Even if he bore ill will, he should not have hurt Marie.
Even if he wanted to hurt Marie, he should have slapped or kicked her and not scorch her face with a cigarette.
Jennifer had relied on her looks to get money from other men when she was Marie's age, but now, she had to rely on Marie. If Marie's face was ruined, then she would not be able to get money from men. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Jennifer tried to struggle away from the security guards so that she could see if her daughter's face had any injuries. However, she was not strong enough.
"Behave!”
The security guard shoved Jennifer onto a chair.
The back of Jennifer's head knocked on the wall. She rubbed the back of her head and began to act like a shrew. "Ow... ow... I think I might have suffered a concussion! Help! Help! That guy is bullying a
defenseless woman!" "Shut up!"
The security guard stepped up and gripped Jennifer's chin so that she could only make muffled sounds.
Luke had encountered his fair share of cunning and underhanded people in his business dealings, but he had never seen someone as despicable as Jennifer and her daughter.
Jason and the security guards took care of the situation in the corridor. Luke turned around, took off his coat, and draped it over Bianca, not caring what the other people thought.
Marie could still feel the sting on her face. She saw the scene happening in front of her while covering her face.
She remembered who that man was.
Earlier, she was intimidated by the man's domineering presence.
After racking her brain for a long time, her brain eventually fell on the name "Luke Crawford."
She knew a lot of related information about that name. Luke Crawford was a famous pioneer in the business world, the CEO of T Corporation, the youngest entrepreneur, the richest man in A City...
Those titles and appellations surfaced in her mind.
She did not expect Bianca to know that person.
Marie could not believe what she saw. She laughed blankly out of her disbelief...
Marie felt that his wealth and personal achievements were such a big contrast to the person he was caring for!
How was it possible that the two people with drastically different backgrounds know each other?
The police station was not far away from the hospital.
The police arrived within five minutes of receiving the call.
Jennifer pretended that she was sick, but the police knew how to deal with her.
Otherwise, every criminal would pretend to be sick when they were about to be arrested.
Jennifer was whispering to Marie on the way to the police station, but Marie kept her head lowered and pretended not to hear.
Ever since she had dropped out of middle school, she tried to get close to the rich boys in her class, or those playboys who hung out in the nightclubs.
She had accepted how those boys had played excessive pranks on her, forced her to drink and dance, or even make out in bed...
She knew her objective. She wanted to be a girlfriend of a rich boy. That would be very glamorous.
Her rich boyfriend would buy nice things for her to eat. It might only be a pack of Oreos or a cup of instant ramen, but she would sit in front of the crowded school cafeteria during lunch break, and every student would look at her eat.
Most of those students could only afford plain bread or a Twinkie.
Bianca was one of those poor students who could only afford plain bread.
Marie could not forget how pathetic Bianca looked when she first transferred to the school. What right did Bianca have to receive such treatment from Luke?
So what if Bianca had kept her head down and studied hard? She was that pathetic, malnourished, hapless little girl!
Marie laughed out loud when she thought of that!
In the hospital, Luke clutched the DNA test report in his hands but had no intention of showing it to Bianca.
It was supposed to be a joyous occasion, but Bianca's father had suddenly passed away.
Bianca was Lanie and Rainie's mother. That was a fact. Luke was very sure about whom he loved, not only now, but five years ago, or even earlier, when he was a student.
He had many regrets in life, such as having irresponsible parents, or how he had two children born out of wedlock, causing the children to grow up without a mother's love.
However, he had a tender spot in his heart. It was like a garden with a sign that read, in big and bold letters, “First Love."
He considered himself luckier than many other men in the world.
After her hysterics in the corridor, she followed the doctor's advice and rested on the bed.
Earlier, she had removed the IV catheter from her hand by herself when she went to the doctor's office to ask for the security footage. It was beginning to swell, and the doctor had to insert another catheter into her other hand. 2
Luke stood in front of the hospital bed. His arms gripped the footboard, and his eyes were transfixed on Bianca, who was crying with her eyes closed.
Jason was waiting for his boss at the door. Luke went to whisper in her ear, "Rest well. You don't have to worry about anything."
He turned around and left, still clutching the DNA test report.
The important business meeting in the morning had been postponed to noon, then from noon to the afternoon.
Luke sat in the spacious black Bentley which drove away from the hospital. As the car turned a corner, Luke instructed, "Don't send Lanie and Rainie back home after school. Bring them to me at my office."
Jason nodded. "Understood." 'Is he going to announce the identity of their birth mother to them?' A curious thought appeared in Jason's mind.
He was very happy to witness the two children who had addressed him as ’ Uncle Doyle" finally know who their birth mother was.
Jason was quite sure that his guess of the birth mother’s identity would not be wrong...
