Chapter 463 Holding Incriminating Evidence of Luke
As the phone continued to ring incessantly, Bianca had the urge to smash it into pieces!
She dared not do so. The other party possessed incriminating evidence about Luke.
Finally, Bianca braced herself and tapped on the answer button.
Instantly, she heard someone screaming angrily from the other side. "Did you ignore what I told you,
Bianca Rayne? If you want it that way, fine! I''m standing at the entrance of the Public Integrity
Committee now. I''ll hand in the CD, and that''ll be the end of Luke Crawford!"
In case Bianca did not believe it, the woman sent a message shortly after saying that.
Bianca opened the message. It was a selfie.
The woman in the shades was holding a CD in her hand. She was indeed standing in front of the Public
Integrity Committee building. On her lips was a smug grin.
Bianca''s heart beat faster when she saw that, but her blood was thick like glue.
Luke would be ruined once the CD fell into the hands of the Public Integrity Committee.
Not even Luke could find a way out of it.
Bianca''s grip on her phone became tighter. "Don''t! Please, please don''t hand in the CD. I''ll do whatever
you say... I won''t be engaged with Luke tomorrow, and I''ll leave A City immediately. Will you be
satisfied?" She said.
She spoke while she sobbed, and her tone was flustered and helpless.
The other party smirked coldly. "It''s already toote. If you had left Luke when I told you to, there
wouldn''t be all this drama. Too bad, you''ve missed the chance you''re given. Do you think it''ll be so easy
now? No way!" "What do you want then?" Bianca shrieked out of anger and frustration.
"Oh, are you angry now? I want you to proceed with the engagement ceremony tomorrow, but when
everyone is there, and he asks you the question, you will tell him no in front of everyone and humiliate
him!"
Bianca was dumbfounded.
She had already agreed to leave Luke, but the other party made such a ridiculous request.
Not only did she have to say no to the engagement, but she had to humiliate Luke in front of everyone.
That woman might as well tell Bianca to kill herself!
Bianca bit her lower lip so hard that it was almost bleeding. ''No, I can''t do that. I can leave A City now if
you want, but don''t go overboard with your requests. I can''t possibly reject him in front of everyone and
humiliate him!"
Bianca knew that Luke was a prideful person.
If she really humiliated him in front of the guests, not only would the Crawford family no longer ept
him, but her rtionship with Luke would be irreparably damaged, and there would be no return.
The woman on the other end cackled sarcastically. "How sentimental! Do you think you still have any
grounds to bargain with me? In your dreams! Let me warn you, if you don''t listen to what I say, I''ll hand
in the CD now... Luke Crawford, the rising star in the A City economic circle, the man of every woman''s
dreams, is actually a criminal! Hahaha, I''ll show everyone his true colors!"
Then, Bianca received a video message.
The woman, holding the CD, was standing in front of themittee office.
Bianca was terrified when she saw that!
She screamed at the phone without any regard for decency. "I''ll listen to what you say! I''ll say no to
Luke tomorrow, and I''ll humiliate him in public! Don''t go in!" i "Don''t y any tricks tomorrow. I''ll be
there at the venue to see for myself. You should know what will happen if you go back on your word!"
After leaving another threat, the woman ended the call.
Bianca did not know when the phone slipped out of her hands.
She looked at the white clouds outside the window in a daze. Those clouds that were as white as snow
somehow became blurry...
When Bianca remembered the glint of anticipation in Luke''s eyes at the bridal boutique yesterday, she
was ovee by despair.
To prepare for tomorrow''s asion, Luke left the office early and returned home immediately.
In the living room of the mansion, Luke could smell the thick fragrance of soup boiling on the stove in
the kitchen.
The two children were sitting on the couch, ying a fantasy monster game on their iPads.
Luke took off his coat and tossed it on another couch.
He did not see the woman he loved. "Lanie, Rainie, where''s Mommy?" He asked the children.
Lanie and Rainie were engrossed in their game. "Mommy said that she''s not feeling well, and she''s
resting in her bedroom. She told me and Rainie not to disturb her."
Luke furrowed his brows. When he called Bianca earlier that day, she was still fine. Why would she be
feeling unwell suddenly?
He did not go upstairs immediately. Instead, he went into the kitchen and clumsily prepared the dining
table for dinner.
After telling the children to have their dinner first, he went to the bedroom with a portion of pork rib roast
and mushroom soup.
Bianca was curled up on the bed. Her eyes were closed, and there were flecks of tears at the corners
of her eyes.
She was sleeping fitfully. asionally, her eyshes would flutter like a bird''s wings.
Luke ced the tray aside, sat down on the bed, and gently caressed her cheek with his fingers.
The skin was soft and delicate to the touch, but it was also slightly warm. It felt like touching a dew-
soaked rose petal.
As he looked at Bianca''s sleeping face, all his stress and lethargy from work disappeared.
Why was she unhappy for the past few days? 1
He did not wake her up. Instead, he sat next to her and watched her sleep.
Bianca''s frail body was tucked under the nket. She reminded him of a pet kitten that he reared when
he was a child. It was fluffy, warm, and soft, and he did not want to let go of it.
Meanwhile, Bianca had a long and dark nightmare.

In the dream, she was in the wedding ceremony with Luke. He was as handsome as a god.
Luke kneeled on one knee and asked for her hand in marriage. She was about to say "I do" when
suddenly, a bloody woman with sharp fangsughed at her and reached for her heart with bony ws...
"Ahh!"
Bianca was drenched in sweat when she woke up from the dream!
She clutched her heart and opened her eyes, instantly seeing a caring gaze in front of her. "What''s
wrong, Bea? Were you having a bad dream?"
Luke hugged Bianca and gently touched her pale face. "The children said that you''re not feeling well.
I''ve brought dinner for you. Do you want to have some soup first?"
She gently shook her head, feeling relieved that he was with her.
After hesitating for a long time, Bianca braced herself before asking the question, "Luke, what if... what
if I decide not to proceed with the engagement tomorrow. Would you agree to it?" 1
