Chapter 438 The Secret In the Study...

Bianca was silent.

From the moment she knew that Mavis had planted a pair of lace panties in Luke's car, she could

tell that Mavis was a scheming woman...

However, she believed that the love between her and Luke was indestructible.

So what if Mavis was a scheming woman?

She was the woman that Luke loved.

If Luke had any feelings for Mavis, they would have already been a couple. Mavis would not have to

wait.

Bianca smiled at Sue when she thought of that. "I know, Sue, but I believe that our love can

overcome every obstacle. If he belongs to me, then no one can take him from me. If he doesn't

belong to me, then there's no point in me retaining him. We've gone through so many ordeals. It

won't be that easy to tear us apart.”

When Sue and Nine saw how confident Bianca was, they did not say anything.

They sincerely hoped that Bianca could find bliss. After all, a good woman like Bianca deserved to

be loved.

Nina decided to change the serious conversation topic. "Hey, Sue, Bea, shall we play a round of

Flappy Bird? Let's see who can get the most points.

Bianca and Sue immediately agreed to it.

When they took out their phones and started a game, the department lead announced that the

meeting would resume.

Everyone headed to the conference hall.

The negotiations continued.

However, the atmosphere in the conference hall was oppressive.

The higher management from Vivi Group were sitting tensely in the seats, especially Quinton, whose

sullen expression was shocking.

The higher management from T Corporation was totally different. All of them seemed energetic and

confident, perhaps because Luke had told them something during their meeting. The board of

directors who had argued vehemently against Luke seemed a lot calmer.

Luke sat imposingly at his seat. He seemed confident as he looked at the people from Vivi Group.

The two big corporations were fighting a silent battle.

Finally, the chairman of Vivi Group spoke first. "Mr. Crawford, after discussing with our

management, we shall proceed with the collaboration, but there shall be one additional condition. If

your company makes a major mistake during the project, or if you decide to infringe upon any more

of our profits, our company has the right to terminate the agreement unilaterally.

A hint of a smile appeared in Luke's handsome eyes. * No problem.” "Alright, let's sign the

agreement today then!"

After the agreement was modified to include both parties’ new claims, the leaders of the two

corporations shook hands once more and signed their names on the document.

Luke looked at his wristwatch and said diplomatically, "Congratulations to the both of us once more,

Mr. Lamarr. I hope that our collaboration will be successful. I've prepared a banquet. Would you like

to stay for a while to have dinner?” "Never mind. I have somewhere else to go. We should meet

some other time!"

Quinton's expression was unpleasant after he lost huge profits for the company. After declining

Luke's invitation, he waved at the people from his company. "Let's go!"

The people from Vivi Group had sullen expressions on their faces as they left, a stark contrast to

their excited faces when they came.

The higher management of T Corporation did not expect that Quinton would accept such an unfair

agreement. Their delight was palpable, and all of them praised Luke for being charismatic.

Luke waved to the others and told them to leave first.

The employees left the conference hall one by one.

Bianca followed the other employees out of the room. She was at the tail of the crowd, and as she

walked, she turned her head to look at that handsome man.

He was sitting at his table flipping through some documents. Occasionally, he would say something

to Jason and Louis next to him.

When she looked at his serious expression, Bianca's petite face was filled with love and admiration

for the man's shrewd capabilities and incomparable masculine charm.

Luke could sense that someone was staring at him. He turned his head and looked in the direction.

When he saw that it was Bianca, his cold gaze turned gentle, and he smiled at her.

One could even hear sparks crackling in the air between those two when their eyes met...

Mavis jealously looked at how that angelic man smiled gently at Bianca. Her legs felt as though they

were filled with lead; they were so heavy that she could not take a step.

He had never smiled at her like that before.

Mavis felt frustrated and resentful. After seeing Bianca's delicate body disappear from view, she

trudged away from the conference hall

That evening, at a hotel.

A peculiar air filled the suite and the messy bed.

Leia was once again subjected to Wayne's ravaging

"Turn around!” The man said.

Leia yelped and tried to cover herself.

Wayne slapped her body disdainfully. "Why are you covering yourself? I've seen every inch of your

body."

Tears of shame and anger fell when Leia heard that.

"Why are you pretending to be pitiful? Ha, you're such a good actress!"

Leia gripped the bedsheets tightly with her trembling hands. "I'm not!" She retorted

"You're not? Hmm?' Wayne's tone was mocking and disdainful.

Leia's tearful eyes were filled with hatred for the man.

She was supposed to be the noble Ms. Norman, but she had somehow become the man’s pet. She

had to answer to his every beck and call. Otherwise, he would expose her nude photos and ruin her

reputation. Leia hated him, but she had no choice

She would have stabbed him to death if she could!

However, the occasional pain on her left wrist told her that if she approached him without the

perfect plan, the only one to get hurt would be herself!

The phone on the bedside cabinet started to ring.

Wayne's actions paused. His cold gaze flashed with hostility when he saw the phone number.

Eventually, he pulled away. "I have to leave for some time. You'd better behave when I'm gone...

otherwise, you should know the consequences for angering me!"

Leia was ecstatic when she heard that Wayne had to leave, though she maintained an obedient

guise. "I know," she said.

Wayne nodded satisfactorily.

He got himself dressed in a matter of seconds. Leia was impressed by his speed, but at the same

time, she became more dejected. It would be very difficult for her to escape from the powerful

man's clutches.

Just when Leia wanted to get dressed, she received a call from Queenie.

Queenie said that her grandfather was feeling sick again, and she and Jack had to go over and take

care of him. She asked her daughter to go home to get the health supplements and bring them

over.

Leia agreed to it.

She was sore all over when she reached home. She found the health supplements on the couch in

the living room, then she went upstairs to change her clothes. When she passed by her father's

study, she noticed that the door was ajar. On an impulse, she walked over, pushed open the door,

and went inside... 1
