Chapter 210 Luke’s Favoritism
In the VIP hospital ward.
A tall and well-built figure walked out, and an elderly male voice roared in anger!
’Luke, you ingrate!" Old Master Crawford shouted and mmed the table.
Luke heard how angry his grandfather was, but that did not stop him from steadily walking away.
The marriage between Xavier Tanner and Bianca Rayne was nothing remarkable, though thanks to
Leia Norman, the popr celebrity, it was brought into public view.
When the newspapers reported Xavier and Bianca''s marriage certificate, Luke, as the man who had
slept next to Bianca, was livid!
Withered leaves scattered on the sidewalk outside the hospital, which added to the mncholy of the
city in the fall. A ck Bentley was parked on the side of the road. When Jason saw his boss, he got
out of the car and opened the passenger door.
After that, Jason got back into the car and started driving. After leaving the hospital gate, he reported to
his boss, who was frowning while browsing his phone, "I''ve already contacted the relevant parties. The
news should be suppressed soon."
His boss did not answer. Jason knew that the boss must be feeling miserable at the moment and was
not in the mood to listen to anyone speaking.
No man in this world would be able to bear seeing the rtionship between the woman he loved and
another man be "legalized" in public!
Yes, now everyone knew that Xavier Tanner and Bianca Rayne were legally married.
The undesirable circumstances behind that marriage did not matter.
As Jason drove, he received a message from the PR department of a rted website.
[Sorry, Bro, we''ve already settled the incident with the fastest possible speed. Please let Mr. Crawford
know.]
Meanwhile, in the hospital ward.
Allison, Susan, and Louis appeared early in the morning.
Old Master Crawford was annoyed just by looking at those people!
''Where is Luke, Father?" Allison could not help but ask when she did not see her son.
Old Master Crawford had a deal with the physician. The physician was supposed to say that Old
Master Crawford''s condition was as serious as it could be, to the point that any agitation would cause
him to fall into aa. However, the young doctor who did the morning rounds did not understand.
"You''re fine, Sir. In fact, your condition is better than most people of your age,” he had said. Old Master
Crawford was preparing to bribe the oblivious doctor when Luke happened to arrive in the ward after
having rushed back from the small town and overheard everything.
Old Master Crawford did not speak a word out of frustration.
’Say something, Father. I told Aunt Jemma to show you the news earlier. If you don''t stop Luke, he
might be embroiled in the scandal." Allison thought that she would not hold any sway over her son. She
would need the patriarch to do it.
Old Master Crawford had a headache. He waved his hand and said weakly, "Let me get out of this
hospital and stop bothering me..."
When Susan saw that, she quickly got her son to hold down Old Master Crawford, who was nning to
get out of bed and settle his own discharge procedure. ’Excuse me for nagging you, Father, but you''re
not well yet. You shouldn''t trouble yourself."
Louis also went to hold down Old Master Crawford. ''Lay down and rest, Grandfather. If my brother is
here, he won''t let you be discharged so soon."
He could not let the old master suffer any harm!
Old Master Crawford helplessly thought, ''If your brother is here, I don''t know how to face him... My
reputation is ruined after he found out that I''m faking my sickness.''
Allison saw that Old Master Crawford had calmed down and reiterated her business. "Old Master, Luke
is..." ''That''s enough of him. I believe that... cough cough... Luke will... will know what to do..." Old
Master Crawford spoke weakly.

"You ought to give the matter a rest, Allison! Otherwise, the old master''s condition might worsen before
you get to solve your son''s problem!" Susan could not bear to see her usually healthy father-inw
cough and shiver.
In a bar somewhere in A City.
Marie was considered a regr there.
The venue was owned by Xavier, and only regrs were permitted inside. New customers had to be
introduced by regrs so no shady individuals could sneak in.
The bouncer knew that Marie had a special rtionship with his boss and so he let her in without
asking questions.
When Marie got upstairs, Xavier had just gotten out of bed.
"Let me help you." Marie quickly stepped forward when she saw that Xavier was putting on his shirt.
Her soft and well-maintained hands buttoned up the man''s shirt while rubbing and fondling his sturdy
chest.
’Just speak if you want anything. I''m not interested in you!"
He was not desperate enough to make out with a woman who had just threatened him!
Marie scrutinized the man''s expression and confirmed that he was not interested. "You should know
that I''m jobless now," she said coyly, "And I''m not patient enough to work in those jobs. I hope that you
can help me because I’ve let you sleep with me so many times, or because I''m Bianca''s sister..."
Xavier poured himself a ss of water and drank out of it. He paused and frowned. "Help you? How?"
’Help me get into showbiz. Is that possible?" Marie did not beat around the bush. She looked at the
seemingly all-powerful Xavier with sparkling eyes.'' The public opinion on the Inte is that you''re Leia
Norman''s sugar daddy. I thought about it, and it made me wonder. Youmitted such a serious crime
five years ago, but you only got five years of prison instead of life. I don''t believe that you don''t have
any connections."
Marie thought that Xavier knew how to keep a low profile after having suffered in prison.
She wondered how well-connected Xavier was. Leia''s debut was a starring role in a movie by a
renowned director, and she even got to walk the red carpet at international film festivals. How did
Xavier manage to help her do that?
"I''m not expecting treatment like Leia. I know my limits..." As Marie spoke, she leaned forward and
rubbed her soft breasts on the man''s broad shoulders. ’I only want to get by. I don''t mind any minor
roles..."
Meanwhile, in the small town.
One of the female colleagues was browsing for updates on her phone while working. Suddenly, she
realized that all rted news was blocked.
She could not find anything no matter how she tried.
"What''s going on? It''s saying that my search terms are viting thew? I can’t even search for Bianca
Rayne?"
Bianca heard the surprised cry of her colleague. She apprehensively stopped typing on her keyboard
and picked up her phone.
She realized that she could not search for any names of the people rted to the incident.
The search returned zero results.
Instantly, everyone stopped discussing the incident.
In fact, searching for "Bianca Rayne" returned a warning that the user had vited thew...
