Chapter 1030 Taking the Initiative

"Where are you now?" After the call was answered, Bianca returned to her car, closed the door, and

locked it. Xavier's words earlier had unnerved her. She was worried that someone might jump out of

the bushes and harm her.

Sean replied, "I'm on the way to the bridal boutique now, Madam. I'll be there in ten minutes.”

"Bring a few more bodyguards there," Bianca said. According to Xavier, someone must be

ambushing her at the bridal boutique.

If she went there prepared, she might be able to find out who was behind that, and she might be

able to set up precautions.

Even if she evaded danger today, she would have to live uneasily in the future.

Sean was surprised. He instantly sounded worried. "Did something happen, Madam?"

"It's nothing. Just do as I say.” Bianca fastened her seatbelt and prepared to leave.

"Understood. Should I tell Boss?" Sean asked. From Bianca's stern tone, he could sense that

something would happen.

Bianca remembered that Luke was busy with the investigation and the upcoming annual

shareholders’ meeting. She did not want to bother him, not to mention that Xavier might be trying

to deceive her.

"Don't let him know. I'll go to the bridal boutique now.” Bianca started the car.

"Alright, Madam.”

After the call, Sean instantly contacted several bodyguards and told them that they needed to be at

the destination in half an hour.

Ten minutes later, while Bianca was still driving, Leia called her again

She answered the call impassively. “I'm driving."

"Where are you? I'm going to try on the gowns soon.” Leia glanced at the bridal boutique. Brody

had booked the entire boutique, so there was no one else other than her and the sales clerks.

She felt uneasy when it was almost the appointed time and Bianca was not there.

"You can go and try it yourself first. I'm still driving,” Bianca replied coldly. If what Xavier said was

true, the ploy might be related to Leia.

She was bitterly disappointed. She had never done anything to Leia, but Leia had tried to harm her

repeatedly.

Bianca's grip on the steering wheel became tighter when she thought of that.

Leia cursed under her breath when she heard the busy tone from her phone. She looked to her left

and right but did not see Hera's men.

"Is she pranking me?" She dialed Hera's number. If she missed the opportunity, it would be very

hard for her to ask Bianca out again.

Hera answered the call quickly.

"Where are your men?" Leia asked nervously. She spoke very softly because she did not want

anyone to hear her.

Hera sounded much calmer. "Why are you worried? They're already there."

"I don't see anyone." Leia looked around.

"They won't be professionals if you can spot them," Hera said derisively, wondering why that

malicious woman would be so restless despite committing so many evil deeds. "You'd better behave

normally and don't give away anything. Bianca will definitely die. If you don't want any trouble,

you'd better pretend that you don't know anything.”

Leia took a deep breath after Hera's reminder. After she calmed down, she said, "I know. When your

men come in, don't hurt me."

"Don’t worry. Just hide in a corner. No one will hurt you," Hera said impatiently and ended the call.

Leia's hand that was holding the phone was shaking.

Seeing that Leia's face was pale and she was flustered, the sales clerk brought her a glass of warm

water. "Are you alright, Ms. Norman?" She asked.

"I'm fine." Leia put her phone into her handbag and looked around the bridal boutique, trying to

find a safe spot when Hera's men would come in.

The sales clerk handed the glass to her. "You look pale, Ms. Norman. Do you want to sit down and

rest for a while? I'll bring you some catalogs.”

Leia held the glass. The water warmed her icy palms.

Half an hour later, Bianca arrived at the bridal boutique. She found a roadside parking spot and

parked her car.

She did not immediately get out of the car but instead called Sean. Soon, Sean came with three

bodyguards and surrounded her car.

Bianca opened the car door, stepped out, and closed the car door in one fluid motion.

She looked around. The four people that were surrounding her were very eye-catching. Everyone

that walked past her looked at her.

"What are you looking at, Madam?" Sean was nervous. From Bianca's expression, he could tell that

something bad was about to happen.

Bianca shook her head. "Let's go in."

"Yes." Seeing that his employer did not say anything, He raised his guard. The four men stood on

both sides and escorted her in.

The bodyguards were former soldiers. They were there to ensure Bianca's safety.

The staff of the bridal boutique was shocked by that formation. It took them a while before they

reacted. "Good morning, Madam. A guest has booked the entire boutique today.”

"I'm Leia Norman's elder sister. Is she here yet?" Bianca asked.

"Oh, this way, please.” The sales clerk led her away. Leia had already told them that her elder sister

would be coming, so the sales clerk did not suspect anything.

Bianca followed the sales clerk while Sean walked in front of her cautiously, in case the sales clerk

wanted to harm her.

When Leia heard the footsteps, she hurriedly stood up. Her bulging stomach made it hard for her to

move, and she could only push herself up with the couch. When she turned around and looked at

Bianca, she was stunned.

Why was she surrounded by so many men? They all looked like bodyguards.

Bianca had never brought bodyguards along with her, but now there were four. Was she suspecting

something?

Leia felt uneasy and walked over. "You're here, Bianca.”

Bianca noticed the stack of catalogs next to the couch and skipped the pleasantries. "Have you tried

anything yet?"

"Not yet, Bianca. I was waiting for you to help me choose." Leia took her hand and led her to the

couch.

Bianca could smell the pungent perfume from Leia's body. She looked at Leia's high heels. Leia was

still so vain even though she was heavily pregnant; she did not care that it would be dangerous for

her baby.

"You should pick something that doesn't put too much pressure on your stomach,” Bianca said.

Leia smiled sweetly. "You're right, Bianca. There are so many designs though, please help me choose

one. Ever since I've gotten pregnant, I feel that my eyesight is getting worse. You're a designer, and

you should have an aesthetic eye.”
