Chapter 514 Her Trump Card!


    The days went by, and Bianca''s legs gradually recovered under the doctors'' meticulous care.


    Slowly, she was able to walk on crutches.


    Bianca had been drawing design ns and studying for the architect exam while she rested at home.


    She asionally painted oil paintings in her spare time and led a prettyfortable life.


    However, Luke was getting busier and busier recently. He came back veryte every day, and he


    looked tired when he was back.


    It broke Bianca''s heart. She only wished she could take his ce in dealing with the arduous work.


    However, Luke onlyforted her, saying that everything would be all right when it was over.


    Bianca did not believe it. Her right eyelid had been twitchingtely, making her feel indescribable panic.


    She wanted to ask Luke about it, but she was afraid of causing him trouble because he was already


    stressed out. Thus, she gave up.


    Bianca tried to search online for news about Leia and Luke, but there was nothing new about them


    online, only old news.


    Still, Bianca felt that something was wrong.


    Supposedly, Luke was now ''dating'' Leia, and based on how well she knew Leia, the woman must be


    itching to let the world know that they were together.


    Luke was even the media''s focus and their darling. They would not let go of any opportunities,


    regardless of how small or big, to write about him. How could there be nothing online?


    Bianca did not know that Luke was afraid that she would be paranoid after reading the fake


    gossip online, so he had someone block all the news from the outside world. He also used the most


    advancedwork technology to make the web pages Bianca clicked on only essible to certain


    ports to view old news.


    Luke had also warned Sue and Nina, who were close to Bianca, in advance. He asked them to keep


    everything happening in the outside world from Bianca.


    Therefore, Bianca had no idea what was going on out there.


    As such, Bianca also had no idea that Luke and Leia''s uing engagement was all over the


    headlines.


    T Corporation.


    "Mr. Crawford, Ms. Norman is here." The assistant secretary''sndline had just rung when there was a


    knock on the door outside.


    "Luke, are you still busy with work?" As soon as the door opened, Leia''s soft and nauseatingly sweet


    voice sounded.


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Walking into the masculine andvish office, Leia, who was dressed in white Chanel couture, ran her


    hands over her freshly maintained straight hair. She walked over to Luke who was working hard.


    Leia was a little disappointed to see that the man was so immersed in his work he had no time to pay


    attention to her appearance, but the inconceble ambition in her eyes became more obvious.


    She was beautiful and wealthy. Now, this man was about to get engaged to her. Marriage was only a


    matter of time.


    She was almost Luke''s nominal fiancee now.


    However, she wanted more than an engagement. She wanted to be the young mistress of the Crawford


    family.


    She wanted to be the only woman in his life and for him to fall at her feet.


    Leia gave a confident smile. "Luke, why are you so busy?" "Do you want something?" Luke signed his


    name at the bottom of the contract without even ncing at Leia.


    "You''re busy every day. It has been a long time since you''ve apanied me shopping. I''m going to a


    film award ceremony tomorrow. Can you go with me?" Not minding Luke''s indifference, Leia smiled


    obediently in front of him.


    She knew this highly qualified man was not that easy to conquer. He had the right to put on airs and


    graces to women.


    She could ept his attitude.


    Leia thought men ought to be forceful like that. If he stuck to her like ap dog, then she would not be


    bothered at all.


    Luke''s hand paused, and he said coldly, "Sorry, I''m very busy these days."


    Without ncing at Leia, the man pulled out another stack of thick papers, ready to continue working.


    Leia was a little mad at him for ignoring her like that.


    She took away the documents in his hand and said aggrievedly, "Don''t be so cold to me, Luke. We''re


    both about to be engaged. You''re my future husband now. Why do you still treat me like this? I know


    you''re very busy with work and don''t have much time to apany me. I''ll also try my best not to


    disturb you. Luke, you should take care of your body no matter how busy you are with work. You''re not


    made of steel. You''ve got to take some time off. Besides, I''m here at a time when you''re about to get off


    work-" "I really don''t have time right now. I''ll apany you when I do." Luke was in a bad mood after


    his work was interrupted.


    He nced up at Leia impatiently. Her youthful pretty face did not appeal to him in the slightest. In fact,


    he found it annoying.


    There was no doubt that Leia''s face was exquisite, especially when she had put on delicate makeup


    and was wearing the most exquisite clothes. It made her look exceedingly beautiful and slender.


    However, Luke thought of Bianca''s bare little face with no makeup.


    The overly dressed-up Leia was immediately overshadowed inparison.


    Seeing that he remained unmoved, Leia pulled out her trump card.


    Her expression looked innocent as she said, "Dad said he wants you toe with me to the Normans''


    residence tonight. He has something to discuss with you. Luke, you need to see my father no matter


    how busy you are. I went to the study to call Dad over for breakfast today and I seemed to have


    overheard Dad talking to his secretary about some disc. Luke, they even talked about you and when


    our wedding is going to be..."


    Luke stopped working. A cold and restrained smile appeared at the corners of his lips. "Okay, I''ll go


    shopping with you after I finish these papers."


    The charming and elegant smile somehow made Leia''s scalp tingle a little, but she did not care.


    So what if the man did not love her? She had something on him, so he would have to marry her


    anyway.


    After he was done with work, Leia took Luke’s arm as she walked through T Corporation''svish and


    gorgeous hall.


    At the sight of their intimacy, the capable Mavis narrowed her eyes and red at Leia''s wless fair


    face that was due to all the makeup she had on. The woman was acting all high and mighty as if she


    was already Mrs. Crawford. She felt surge after surge of bitter jealousy in her heart.


    She did not expect Leia to immediately fill the vacancy as soon as Bianca left Luke. Now, that woman


    was about to get engaged to the man she had been secretly been in love with for so many years.


    "Mr. Crawford," Hiding her admiration for Luke, Mavis greeted him respectfully.


    When she faced Leia, she hid her true emotions and was equally courteous. "Hello, Ms. Norman."


    "Hello, Ms. Laviere." Leia also sized up the gorgeous and capable Mavis.


    She smiled gently but was actually cooking up a n in her heart.


    She knew that Mavis was one of Luke''s best right-hand persons, but her intuition as a woman told her


    that this woman was not simple and had inappropriate thoughts about Luke.


    She would fire this woman as soon as she became the CEO''s wife.


    After saying hello, Leia took Luke''s arm and left. The corners of Mavis'' lips raised sarcastically as she


    looked at their backs.


    ''Does Leia really think of herself as the CEO''s wife?


    ''Ha, how can a scheming woman from a darn orphanage be good enough for the boss who''s of noble


    birth?


    ''It''s still uncertain whether the engagement will work out!'' 1
