Chapter 438 The Secret In the Study...


    Bianca was silent.


    From the moment she knew that Mavis had nted a pair ofce 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 ovee


    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 y a round of ppy


    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 coboration, but there shall be one additional condition. If yourpany


    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 unterally.


    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 ims, 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, "Congrattions to the both of us once more, Mr.


    Lamarr. I hope that our coboration will be sessful. 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 thepany. After declining Luke''s


    invitation, he waved at the people from hispany. "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 ept 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. asionally, 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 iparable 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.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    "Turn around!" The man said.


    Leia yelped and tried to cover herself.


    Wayne pped 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 be 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 asional pain on her left wrist told her that if she approached him without the perfect


    n, the only one to get hurt would be herself!


    The phone on the bedside cab started to ring.


    Wayne''s actions paused. His cold gaze shed 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
