Chapter 354 Where Did Lanie Learn That?


    Melissa instantly noticed Bianca.


    She held onto Xavier''s arm tightly and grunted audibly. "Why do I see that woman everywhere? How


    unlucky!"


    Not only had she failed to frame Bianca in the luxury fashion store, but she had also lost a diamond


    ne worth almost a million dors. She was scolded when she got home, and her elder brother


    had docked her allowance.


    Melissa had been troubled by that incident.


    Of course, Bianca was not too happy when she saw the capricious and unreasonable Melissa.


    She was about to hold the children''s hands and turn in the other direction when Lanie suddenly looked


    at the woman and blinked. There was a mischievous glimmer in his eyes.


    He tugged the hem of Bianca''s shirt and said childishly, "Mommy, I''ve seen that woman before..."


    Bianca looked at Lanie curiously. She did not understand how the little boy would recognize Melissa.

    "Where have you seen her, Lanie?" Bianca asked.


    Melissa was also surprised.


    She looked at Lanie and racked her brain, but she could not remember where she had seen the cute


    little boy.


    "Mommy, do you remember the picture book that Daddy got for me for my birthday? She''s the ugly


    witch in the fairy tale!"


    Lanie then turned to look at Melissa. "You look like the ugly witch in my picture book. I would''ve asked


    for your autograph, but I don''t like that character at all!"


    The people around him burst intoughter.


    The little boy was so cute and adorable, but why were his words so relentless?


    Bianca realized that Lanie was only making fun of Melissa.


    Melissa was not very beautiful, but she was not ugly either. It was very different from the witch in


    Lanie''s picture book.


    ''Did Lanie get his sharp tongue from Luke?*


    Bianca shot a nce at Luke. At the same time, Luke looked at her and shrugged as though saying


    that he had nothing to do with it.


    Luke knew that he did not have a great personality, but even he did not speak so harshly. Perhaps


    Lanie''s genes had mutated on his own.


    Melissa might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but she also realized that Lanie was insulting her.


    Her face turned red with anger, and she pointed at Lanie and yelled, "Who taught you to speak like


    that, you unmannered brat? You need to be spanked!"


    In her anger, Melissa seemed to have forgotten who Luke was. She wanted to step forward and teach


    Lanie a lesson, but Xavier held her back tightly!


    The young woman was too capricious. She did not understand how terrifying Luke could be.


    If sheid a finger on Luke''s son, he was sure that the news of Melissa''s family''s bankruptcy would


    appear on the papers tomorrow. Even his family might be affected.


    Luke red at Melissa. There was a hint of killing intent in his cold gaze!


    The host of the clubhouse had just arrived. Before he could speak a word to Mr. Crawford, he had


    witnessed thatedic scene.


    ''That woman has a death wish!


    ''How dare she insult Mr. Crawford''s son in public, like a mad dog?'' "Don''t hold me back, Xavier. That


    woman stole my diamond ne. Give it back to me!" Melissa ignored the tense atmosphere and


    yelled at Bianca with a vicious expression on her face.


    "Excuse me, Miss, I would advise you to leave if you are not feeling well.


    Not only have you insulted my guests, but you are using my guest of stealing your diamond


    ne. Do you have any evidence of that?" The host said sternly with his eyes narrowed


    dangerously.


    "Who do you think you are? Stay out of this! It''s none of your business!" Melissa was intimidated by the


    host''s dangerous aura, but her anger had overridden her reason.


    Her elder brother and Xavier had warned her not to cross Luke, but she had been spoiled since she


    was young and did not respect anyone.


    She was used to getting whatever she wanted when she was overseas. Of course, she would have


    already forgotten their warnings.


    Xavier dragged Melissa''s cor and warned her sternly once more. "Stop embarrassing me, Melissa!


    Do you have a death wish?"


    Melissa thought that Xavier was holding her back because he still loved Bianca.


    In Xavier''s vice-like grip, she could not move a muscle.


    Her gaze met with Bianca''s eyes. When she saw that the woman was looking at her contemptuously


    and that her cousin seemed to be looking at Bianca with pity, her anger rose to new heights!


    No wonder her cousin Xavier treated her so mercilessly. It was because of that woman.


    That realization was like a sharp sword that had pierced Marie''s heart. 4


    Her chest heaved as she gasped for air, then she growled at Xavier. "Aren''t we family, Xavier? Why


    aren''t you on my side? Bianca is the one who stole my diamond ne, and that guy is an


    aplice. And that brat too, they''re all bad people..."


    Luke''s brows were furrowed tightly. The killing intent in his eyes intensified.


    He looked at Melissa as though she was already a dead person!


    "Get lost! You don''t know anything at all!" Xavier shoved Melissa away and roared at her.


    His tantrum caught the attention of everyone at the venue.


    Melissa’s face turned pale.


    It was her birthday today. She managed to convince her cousin to celebrate her birthday with her, but


    he had humiliated her in front of all the guests and friends.


    Even Melissa''s friends behind her were whispering with each other...


    "It''s my birthday today, Xavier. How can you treat me like that? Bianca is a shameless thief! That


    ne cost 900,000 dors. You saw the receipt. It''s not a small sum... That day, that woman stole


    my ne while I was changing. You were there too, Yancy, isn''t it?" Melissa’s face was grotesquely


    contorted.


    She red hatefully at Bianca, as though she wanted to pour all the filth on her.


    Yancy, Melissa''s tall and muscr friend, stood out from the crowd and said that Melissa was not lying.


    The surrounding guests were whispering among each other and pointing at Bianca...


    Just when Bianca wanted to say something, the sound of a crisp p shocked everyone.


    "That''s enough, Melissa Lerche! Bianca is thest person to be a thief!" Xavier red at Melissa in


    frustration.


    He knew Bianca''s character very well.


    Bianca was a person with very strong self-esteem. She would not lower herself to steal someone else''s


    property!


    Melissa covered her cheek and looked at Xavier in disbelief. "You pped me because of that thief,


    Xavier? Because of that despicable witch?"
