Chapter 240 Show Them No Mercy


    Bianca only remembered about the DNA test report when Lanie mentioned it.


    Now that Lanie had said it, it meant that the DNA test had proved that Bianca was indeed the two


    children''s birth mother.


    Before that, Bianca was only seventy or eighty percent sure. Now, she was finally at ease.


    It should have been a joyous asion when her status was confirmed, but Bianca did not seem as


    happy or excited as she expected.


    That was because her father had passed away.


    Bianca had to ept that painful fact, no matter whether she was awake or in her dreams.


    All the good news seemed to be shrouded in a thinyer of dust.


    Lanie kicked away the little boots on his feet and hopped onto the bed. Once on the bed, he realized


    that there was not enough space for him to sit cross-legged. Instead, he kneeled next to Bianca.


    Fortunately, the bed was big enough for that.


    He took the ss of warm milk from Mommy''s hands and noticed that there was some sediment inside.


    Lanie quickly stirred the ss with a spoon.


    "Take your breakfast, Mommy," Lanie said as he stirred the pure-white liquid with a spoon, "There''s


    protein powder inside. The doctor said that your body is too weak. You need more nutrients."


    Bianca took the ss and slowly drank the milk.


    The little boy remained persistent after she had drunk the milk. He gave her more things to eat.


    Rainie handed Bianca a napkin so that she could wipe away the stains at the corners of her mouth.


    Bianca was gued by troubles and found everything to be tasteless, though she appreciated her two


    children''s presentation of love toward her.


    Those gestures warmed her heart.


    She wondered what she did to deserve such nice children.


    When it was time to go to school, Jason knocked on the door, came in, and brought the two reluctant


    children away.


    Luke had been waiting outside the ward all the while. He did not go in but instead tasked the two young


    children to take care of their mother.


    The children were sure to brighten Bianca''s day.


    After spending twenty-four hours in the police station, Jennifer and Marie were set free.


    That was standard procedure.


    The mother and daughter did not do anything serious. The ruckus at the hospital was only considered a


    misdemeanor.


    Marie turned on her phone once she was out of the police station. She received a flood of messages.


    One of them was from Linda, one of Leia''s assistants. [Why aren''t you reporting to work, Marie? You


    only hurt a finger. It''s not like your entire wrist broke.]


    Marie did not reply to the message because the police had confiscated her phone.


    Linda had sent her another message an hourter. [Wow! Do you think you''re beyond reproach? You


    ought to pay more attention to your work if you want to be anyone in the industry. You don''t even tell


    anyone that you''re taking time off work, and you don''t even reply to my message! Who do you think


    you are?] "You witch!" Marie did not think highly of Leia, much less her assistant.


    ''Who does Linda think she is? All she does is serve Leia''s whims. Does she think that she''s a celebrity


    too?


    ''Not only that, she''s ugly beyond words.''


    Marie tried to calm herself down and quickly replied. [I''m sorry, Linda. I was detained in the police


    station for a night, and I only managed to get out just now. Where''s the film shoot today? Send me the


    location. I''ll head there right away!]


    Then, she took a selfie of her in front of the police station and sent it over to Linda.


    Soon, Linda replied. [Why are you at the police station? I''ll send the location to you. Come over


    quickly.] [Alright. Thank you, Linda. I''ll tell you the details when we meet.]


    Being a celebrity''s assistant was quite boring. No entertainment news in the papers could be as


    exciting as the gossip that spread among assistants at a film set.


    Linda was fond of gossip. Her colleague was detained in the police station for some reason. That was


    considered gossip too.


    Marie hailed a cab and shoved her mother into it. "Go home by yourself. I have other things to do."


    Jennifer stumbled, though she managed to steady herself by holding on to the cab. She turned around


    and spoke to Marie, "Careful about that burn mark on your face. Also, remember to call Bianca and be


    polite about it." "Don''t worry. I know what to do." Marie turned around and left after she spoke.


    At that moment, Marie did not know that there was a greater cmity waiting for her, nor did she know


    about what Walter Long could do to her.


    Instead, she was naively thinking, ''What can Bianca do to me anyway? Does she think that she can


    sue me? She can''t possibly me me for angering her dad with mere words.


    ''He deserves to die anyway!


    ''All the Raynes are unlucky and short-lived!''


    Jennifer frowned as she watched her daughter skip away happily, then she sat in the cab.


    After staying in the police station for one night, Jennifer knew the true meaning of fear.


    However, after being forced into a dead end, she was not quite ready to admit defeat yet...


    In thest few years of his life, Kevin had focused his attention on his second wife. Bianca did not hold


    a grudge against Kevin for that. She thought that it was normal to focus his attention on his wife rather


    than his daughter from the previous wife.


    After all, Kevin had used his life savings of a few ten thousand dors to fund Bianca''s tuition fees.

    Even though that money could only pay for about half a year of tuition, she was nheless grateful.


    Kevin''s death must be a huge blow to Bianca. Jennifer was worried that Bianca might channel her


    sorrow into anger.


    At the film set.


    Marie bought some roasted chestnuts as a gift. When Marie arrived, she apologized and made up with


    Leia''s two assistants.


    The assistants were appeased. Marie did not have to do much that day.


    It waste at night when Leia was finished with the shoot. She was exhausted, and though she noticed


    Marie''s presence when she walked toward her RV, she said nothing and only red at her coldly.


    Back in the trailer, Leia checked her phone for messages.


    One of the messages was from Queenie.


    [Leia, make yourself avable on the night of the 26th. Let your agent arrange with the production crew.


    Your dad has a meeting followed by a dinner that night. Luke Crawford will attend the dinner. You want


    to be


    acquainted with him, right? Your dad has agreed to introduce you to him. Treasure the opportunity.]


    Leia blushed when she read the message. Immediately, she typed a reply with her slender fingers. [Got


    it, Mom. Thank you, my dear mother!]
