Chapter 1292 I Was The One Who Stopped You From Coming Back

Luca did not need him to remind her about it. She looked in Dr. Albus’ direction and nodded.

Since she did not say anything, Rhett chose not to either. After all, he just wanted to remind her, but

she seemed calmer than he was. Not even a veteran like Dr. Albus could have a temper like hers

After Luke dropped Luca off at her destination, he went back to the office with his kid.

After arriving at the office, Jason frantically pushed open Luke's door before he could even get to

work. “Boss, Miss Norman is waiting for you in the lobby. She said she has something important she

wants to talk to you about.”

"Which one?” Luke replied coldly, not bothering to raise his head.

Jason replied, “Leia Norman, Mrs. Crawford's younger sister.”

When Luke heard her name, he suddenly remembered that she was here as well. He rejected

outright without even thinking about it. “I have no time for her.”

Jason knew he would say that, so he passed on Leia’s message. “Boss, Miss Norman said she has

something important about Mrs. Crawford she has to tell you about. She wants to see you no

matter what.”

About Bianca...

Luke looked up with an icy expression in his eyes, “Let her in.”

“Yes.” Jason nodded. Just when he was about to inform the reception to invite Leia upstairs, his boss

then continued, “Bring Tommy outside.”

Tommy was reading a book when he raised his head and asked, “Daddy, why do I have to go out?”

Luke considered the possibility that Leia might bring up the past, so he did not want to involve the

kid in this. That was why he made that arrangement. He said to Tommy, “When adults are talking—"

"Kids should not listen, I got it.” Tommy hopped off the sofa as he followed behind Jason with his

reading material in hand.

After a while, the receptionist brought Leia upstairs. “Miss Norman is here.”

"Mm." Luke glared at Leia coldly. She had been living overseas these past couple of years. Since that

fiasco with Jack Norman, her intention of coming back to the country was rejected time and again.

She did not look like she was living a good life now.

The office door closed behind her, and it was only the two of them left in the office. As Leia stared

at the man in front of her, her face could not help but show some sentiment for him. However,

when he stared at her with those ice-cold eyes, she shuddered for a moment. There was nothing but

fear in her heart.

“Mr... Mr. Crawford.” Leia stood there as she tried to overcome the angst inside of her. Even though

she had a favor to ask of him, she could not bring herself to call him her brother-in-law.

She had been waiting here ever since Queenie told her Luke had arrived in America. However, the

receptionist told her that he had not been in the office the past couple of days, so she did not get

to see him until today.

“So you're finally willing to tell me about the kidnapping that year?” Luke glanced at her before

looking away. After all, one second spent looking at her was one second wasted.

His cold words struck Leia as she stood there awkwardly.

She was ready to bargain with him, but he did not seem interested at all.

“I know certain things about what had happened that year, but if I tell you, you'll have to promise

me one thing,” said Leia as she clenched her fist. She was having money problems here in America.

She could not take it anymore.

She knew what was going on in her hometown, but even if her reputation was ruined, she could still

live a lavish life as long as Jack was around.

“You have no chance of going home,” Luke said. He knew what she had in mind before she could

even say it.

He knew about every single thing she did in the past couple of years. The mastermind behind all

this sent a fake Bianca to fool everyone into thinking that she had come back home but he had not

given up on his investigation.

As for Leia, she was one of the people who knew what had happened that day. She said nothing

about it, but that did not mean she knew nothing. That was why he arranged for someone to keep

an eye on her after she was sent overseas.

Jack Norman, on the other hand, was very unhappy with what Leia did behind his back. After he

sent her off to America, he gave her just enough money for her basic needs but did not tell Queenie

anything about it.

Luke had been waiting for her to come clean when she finally could not take it anymore.

However, he did not expect her to cross the line. She was short of money, so she tried using her

body to get some. In the first year, she managed to get close to some of the local businessmen.

After that, Brody took his revenge on her and exposed her for everything that she did, completely

destroying any reputation she had. All the rich people did not want to see her anymore, and her

days of living lavishly were numbered.

Feeling desperate, Leia found a new boyfriend and came back to the country using marriage as an

excuse.

However, that option was once again cut off by Luke Crawford.

Leia clenched her fist after he rejected her. She glared at him as she said, “Don't you want to know

what happened that day?”

Luke continued typing, ignoring her completely.

“Luke Crawford, if you convince my dad, I'll tell you everything I know,” Leia continued. Even though

she was not directly involved in the matter, she knew more than he did.

Luke stopped typing, looked up, and stared at her.

Leia felt a glimmer of hope as her fists trembled. “Didnt you sense anything wrong about Bianca

who went missing and then came back just a few months after? Don't you suspect anything at all?”

"What do you know?” Luke raised his brow, thinking about the possibility that Leia might know

about the fake Bianca in A City.

Leia thought she had the upper hand when he asked her that question. “As long as you help me go

back home, I'll tell you everything I know.”

She did not know much. The information she had was not enough to bargain her way back into the

country.

With her living conditions right now, going back home was the safest thing she could do. To get

what she wanted, she had no choice but to try tricking Luke.

“Who do you think is the one stopping you from going back?” Luke said as he glanced at his

documents. If he looked at Leia, he would remember every evil thing she ever did to hurt Bianca.

The more he looked at Leia, the more disgusted he was with her.

Leia was surprised by his words. Was it not Jack who forbade her from going back?

“I'm the one who's been stopping you from going back.” Luke had finished testing her. With the

evidence he gathered through years of investigation and that conversation he had with her just

now, he was sure that Leia did not have much information to give.

Even if she told him everything she knew, there was not much evidence that he could use anyway.

Luke picked up the phone and dialed the extension to Jason's office. “Come in and send her out.”
