Chapter 314 Luke Has Announced Bianca's Identity
Eventually, Leia managed to extricate herself from the mob. When she found Xavier in his room, he was drunk as a fiddler, which gave her a buzzing headache.
'Why is Xavier so useless? Not only he can't manage his marriage with Bianca, but he's here drinking his worries away!'
Leia took her sunglasses off and angrily kicked Xavier, who was slumped in a pile. "Get up!"
Xavier lifted his head from amid a pile of empty beer bottles. When he saw that Leia was in front of her, his unfocused gaze seemed to have cleared up a little. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"Say, aren't you busy all day, you big movie star? Why do you have time to visit me?" He said impatiently.
"Don't you know why I'm here? I thought you already have a marriage certificate with Bianca, so why would she appear in front of the media as the birth mother of Luke's twins?" Leia asked exasperatedly.
Leia thought that the birth mother of the twins was only a tool for childbirth and was no one important to Luke.
However, she did not expect that the media had widely reported on the birth's mother identity. She felt an indescribable sense of fear when she saw the photo of Bianca together with Luke and the two children!
Xavier looked at her vaguely and said, "I was so close to claiming Bianca, but Luke suddenly barged in. Do you think that's a coincidence, Leia?"
Leia became even more fearful when she was reminded of that incident.
Their original plan was to drug Bianca, record her making out with Xavier, and using that to blackmail her.
That plan should have been flawless.
Leia thought that Luke could not bear to see the woman he loved in bed with another man. No man could.
When that happened, the relationship between Bianca and Luke would be over.
That was why Leia sent an anonymous message to Luke.
She knew that Luke was a smart man, and he would not believe her if she said that Bianca was having an affair with another man. If Luke did not go to check on her, then her plan would fail.
In the message, she said that Bianca had an accident.
Luke would definitely go to the hotel if he truly cared for the woman. He would be just in time to see Bianca and Xavier intertwined on bed...
She did not expect that Xavier was too slow. 1
The stage had been set, but Xavier had failed at the last moment. How useless!
Leia felt guilt when faced with Xavier's question. She dared not look at him. “You're the slow one, and you only have yourself to blame. She's already right in front of you, but you didn't even do anything! Now that Luke has publicly announced Bianca's identity, I'd like to see what you'd do next. Bianca is your wife. Why don't you announce to the public that you're legally married to her? Do you have the guts to, Xavier Tanner?"
Leia's words had utterly angered Xavier.
He stumbled to his feet and accurately grabbed Leia's neck. His penetrating gaze landed on her body, and his ambiguous smile sent a chill coursing down Leia's spine! 1
Xavier's icy cackle echoed in the room.
He looked disdainfully at the quivering Leia and said, "Who do you think you are to talk to me like that? Don't forget that I'm always a true son of the Tanner family, and you're just a pathetic worm picked up by Jack Norman from the orphanage! Do you think that you're actually anyone special just because you're a Norman? You'll always be a fake daughter no matter what you do!" "So what if I'm not my parents’ birth daughter? They treat me like one anyway. Do you believe that if I tell my father about this, you won’t be able to survive in A City?" Leia said through gritted teeth.
"You can try that!" Xavier said nonchalantly as he increased the strength on the grip around her neck, causing her to gasp. "You've been acting as the obedient little girl in front of the Normans and your audience. That must be tough, right? Have you forgotten about the things you've done while you were in the orphanage? I'd like to see how disappointed everyone will be if they find out that you're actually a selfish, ruthless, and materialistic girl under that virtuous guise!"
Leia’s pupils dilated with fear.
'How did he know about the incidents in the orphanage?'
If her adopted parents knew that she was adopted through underhanded means, her perfect disguise would instantly crumble, and what would happen to her then...
'No, I will not let anyone ruin everything that I have strived for!' "Brother... Brother Xavier, I was wrong. I shouldn't have talked to you like that. Please forgive my transgressions. I had lost control of my temper. Can you please let me go first?" Leia pretended to be weak.
That was the only way to appease that temperamental man.
She knew that she was better than that man, but somehow she could not dominate him. She was frustrated that she was not the one in control.
Xavier grunted coldly and let go of her.
Leia panted hard and coughed. She seemed miserable, but in her heart, she was imagining a thousand different ways of how to torment and kill that man. Til see what Dad will do to him!' She thought. 1 'Also, Bianca is a threat. She shall not be spared!
'Mom is a wise woman. She'll know what to do.'
"Look, Mommy! The four of us are in the papers today!" Lanie smiled as he took the newspaper and showed Bianca. "I didn't know that there's a touching love story behind Mommy and Daddy."
Lanie might be young, but he was extremely intelligent. He had learned all the elementary school level vocabulary, and he understood the news article.
Rainie did not know as many words, but she could understand the gist of it.
Bianca laughed.
Eugene was a top-notch media person. His writing skills and insight were extraordinary.
Any of his articles would cause intense public discussion.
The article on Luke and Bianca was a successful one, though Bianca was impressed by the fact that Eugene could write something so cliched yet popular.
Bianca sat in front of her computer and started to draft a blueprint.
The client was an elderly person by the name of Mr. Norman. It was said that Old Mr. Norman's son was an important politician in A City.
Old Mr. Norman was also said to be an eccentric person, and he was very picky about the designs he liked. That was why the other drafts were rejected...
