Chapter 524 Bianca Is My Weakness!


    When Leia looked at Luke''s icy gaze and heard the whispers among the guests, she realized that the


    man was not joking!


    No one would make such a tasteless joke at their own engagement ceremony.


    Leia''s face turned pale at an instant.


    She did not expect that sudden turn of events at all.


    She was expecting bliss, but it turned out to be ridicule.


    All her hope had turned into despair!


    She stiffly lifted her dress, walked in front of Luke, and begged him softly," Luke, we''ve never quarreled


    or fought. If there''s a problem, treat it as all my fault. If you don''t like any aspect of me. I''ll change for


    you, alright? Don''t call off the engagement. After we''re engaged, you can do anything you want.


    Please... there are so many guests and media reporters here. I don''t know what they''d say. Can''t you


    spare some dignity for me and my family?"

    Leia had a pitiful expression as she stared at Luke. Tears were almost falling from her eyes.


    She admitted that she loved the man in an undignified way.


    However, she still clung to the hope that the man would change his mind and continue with the


    engagement.


    Luke''s handsome face was frigid. He leaned close to Leia''s ear. To others, he was whispering sweet


    nothings to her.


    Meanwhile, Leia could hear every cruel word. "Do you think that I really want to marry you, Ms.


    Norman? If you hadn''t threatened me with the CD, would I have bothered to put up this act? To tell you


    the truth, every minute and every second spent with you was agony. My only wife shall be Bianca


    Rayne. You''re not worthy of my time!"


    Bianca felt a chill from the top of her head to the tips of her toes. 3


    Her lips were trembling, and her voice was shaking. "Do you mean... all your affection toward me is all


    fake?" i


    Luke remained impassive. The slight mockery on his lips told everything


    Leia needed to know. 1


    Leia seemed to guess what the man was trying to say. She continued, "You know everything. You know


    that I''ve threatened Bianca to leave A City with the CD. You don''t want to hurt her, so you pretended to


    be my boyfriend and even promised to marry me. Everything that you have done leads up to your


    revenge today. You want to humiliate me in front of everyone, right?" i


    Luke’s gaze was profoundly dark, like a frozen pond. When he looked at Leia, she could feel chills


    coursing down her spine.


    "You are very smart, Ms. Norman. You know that Bianca is my weakness, and that''s why you threaten


    her with the CD. She loves me deeply, and she would not burden me with troubles, but you''ve


    miscalcted, and I ended up knowing the truth. Of course, with your current status, you can do


    anything you want in A City, but you shouldn''t have tried to meddle in Bianca''s rtionship with me,


    and you shouldn''t have used such underhanded tactics to make me marry you."


    His words froze Leia''s blood. Her face was pale, and her body was shaking.


    He knew everything. 1


    She had been so stupid. She thought that the scant affection that he showed her was genuine, but


    everything was a sham!


    Other than despair and agony, Leia felt the anger of humiliation!


    The socialite circle in A City was not very big, and the Normans and Crawfords were renowned


    families. The media had considered Luke Crawford and Leia Norman to be a match made in heaven.


    Leia did not know how to handle the big "surprise" Luke had given her.


    She had humbled herself because of love, and what she got in return was humiliation and betrayal!


    The hall was deathly silent.


    Everyone''s gazes fell upon the couple on the stage. Some were shocked, some were mocking, some


    were sympathetic, and some were amused...


    Jack abruptly stood up from his seat and quickly walked in front of the stage.


    He red at Luke and spoke harshly, "If you have no feelings for Leia, you should have said that


    earlier, and we can cancel the engagement in private. What''s the meaning of you announcing your


    intentions at the ceremony? Do you think that you can bully my daughter, or do you think that you can


    afford to cross the Norman family?"


    It was rare that Provincial Committee Secretary Norman lost his temper in public. After all, he was


    known for being friendly and approachable.


    Looking at how angry his speech and demeanor were, they know that he had truly lost his temper. 1


    The cameras pointed toward his face.


    At the same time, the reporters wondered if T Corporation would suffer because their CEO had


    offended the Normans in public.


    "I''m sorry, Mr. Norman, I''ve thought long and hard before reaching this painful decision, but I have to


    honestly say that I''m not a match for your daughter. I willpensate for your losses, but I cannot


    allow this mistake to continue." Luke might sound apologetic, but his expression was one of obvious


    relief.


    Jack became angrier. He grabbed Leia''s elbow and announced to the media, "The engagement is


    canceled today because my Leia can''t be bothered to marry Mr. Crawford. My daughter deserves a


    better man! I''d like to see how you will get another wife, Luke Crawford!" 1


    Jack was quite impressed with the talented young man, but Luke had disappointed him instead. Not


    only had he humiliated Leia in public, but he had given such a half-hearted apology!


    Jack was extremely disappointed!


    "Let''s go, my wife. We''re no match for the Crawford family''s exquisite tastes! This shall be the end of


    the rtionship between the Norman and the Crawford families!" Old Mr. Norman stood up angrily from


    his seat, dusted his sleeves, and prepared to leave with his wife.


    "Wait, please..." Old Master Crawford wanted to stop them from leaving.


    However, Old Mr. Norman shoved him away.


    Seeing that the Normans were about to leave, Old Master Crawford was ovee by anger. He


    clutched his chest, trembled, and passed out on the spot.


    He did not hear the people around him calling his name...


    Leia was dragged away by his father. What she heard was the discussions among the guests.


    "Too bad. That''s the end of the union between the Crawfords and the Normans." "I wonder why Mr.


    Crawford is so picky. Ms. Norman is beautiful, and she has a good upbringing." "That might be true, but


    no matter how qualified Ms. Norman might be, it''s true that Mr. Crawford doesn''t love her. Otherwise,


    he wouldn''t have called off the engagement in public. What a pity. Tsk tsk..."


    Leia''s face became paler when she heard thosements. She found it hard to breathe.


    She red at Luke coldly. 1


    Hatred surfaced in her eyes as she looked at that well-built body.


    ''If you''re so merciless, Luke Crawford, then don''t me me for returning the favor. I''ll ruin your


    reputation!''
