Chapter 627 The Bond Between Mother and Daughter
Many people rushed over, and Bianca was nearly knocked off her feet.
Fortunately, Sean was protecting her. Otherwise, an ident would have easily happened.
Sean observed the surroundings while he helped Bianca walk toward a less crowded ce. "You
shouldn''t stay here, Madam. Let''s leave now."
Bianca''s mind was nk as she saw Queenie being held hostage.
She could only see Queenie''s pale face and the bloody line on her neck...
Sean, seeing that Bianca was not moving, said sternly, "We have to leave, Madam. It''s too dangerous
here. I won''t know how to tell Mr. Crawford if you get in an ident."
Bianca could not breathe when she saw the thin line of blood on Queenie''s neck.
Her first instinct was to rush forward to danger.
She did not want to see anything happen to Queenie, perhaps because they were mother and
daughter.
Nina stood next to Bianca, protecting her.
She could not help but look in the direction in which Bianca was looking." What are you looking at,
Bianca?"
When Nina saw the criminal holding a knife against Queenie''s neck, she covered her mouth in shock.
"Isn''t... isn''t that Mrs. Norman? How did she be a hostage?"
Before Bianca could reply, she heard the criminal roar angrily again, "Step back, all of you! I''ll kill her if
youe any closer!"
Under his threat, the security guards of the exhibition hall could only retreat.
After all, the hostage in his hands was a very important person. She was the wife of the Provincial
Committee Secretary.
They would be in trouble if anything happened to her!
Queenie felt raw pain in her neck. She did not know why the criminal was holding a knife against her
neck. It all felt like a dream.
She was caught by surprise when a knife-wielding man rushed into the crowd.
Instinctively, she shoved Leia away, and that was why she became the hostage instead.
The knife was pressed firmly on her neck, and she found it hard to breathe.
The criminal was very strong, and she could not move an inch.
She did not want to think of the consequences if she angered him.
Leia, dressed exquisitely, pointed at the criminal with a trembling finger and yelled angrily, "Hey, let go
of my Mom! Don''t you know who she is? Let me tell you, she''s the wife of the Provincial Committee
Secretary! If you harm her, I’ll make sure that you rot in prison!" "Idiot!" Bianca gritted her teeth and
cursed. She was floored by Leia''s idiocy.
The criminal was in a violent state, and Leia''s words would only add fuel to the fire.
Now that Leia had exposed Mrs. Norman''s identity, that only gave more weight to the criminal''s threat.
As expected, the criminalughed brazenly when he heard that. "Hahaha! I don''t care who she is. I''ll
kill whoever angers me! I don''t want to be alive anyway! I wasn''t looking for anyone in particr, but I
have to say that I''m quite lucky to grab someone influential!"
It was only then that Leia realized that she said something that she should not have. She looked at
Queenie apologetically.
"Mom..." Leia wanted to step forward, but the criminal waved the knife at her and scowled. "Step back!
Otherwise, I''ll kill you too!" "Ahh!"
The knife was very sharp, and the tip even sliced several strands of Leia''s hair. She held her head and
hurriedly retreated while shrieking!
Queenie looked at the cowering Leia and felt an inexplicable feeling rising. She could not tell if it was
disappointment or something else.
Bianca could not bear to watch idly. She whispered something to Sean.
Then, despite his objections, she propped her bulging stomach and walked forward to negotiate with
the criminal. "Sir, I don''t know what would drive you to such desperate measures, but can I hear your
requests?"
Bianca had taken psychology sses.
She knew that threats and warnings would only make the criminal agitated and angry.
The best negotiators might not be the best speakers, but they were the best listeners. The way to find
the criminal''s mental "weak point" was to let him talk freely.
She spoke with a gentle tone to the criminal so that she would not agitate him. In the meantime, Sean
looked for an opportunity to save Queenie.
"I want to see Joan Dobbs!" There was a hint of tenderness when the criminal mentioned that woman’s
name.
Soon after, he gritted his teeth, and his gaze shed with crazed desperation. "I met her in a nightclub,
and I fell in love with her despite her job as an escort... I''m willing to give my everything to her. I''ve
fought off gangsters for her, I''ve offended people in authority for her, and I''ve even borrowed money
from loan sharks for her. That woman conspired with another man and scammed all my money! There
isn''t a good woman in this world! I want to ask Joan Dobbs if she has ever loved me. I want to see if
she has a shred of conscience!"
He was heavily in debt and hounded by loan sharks. He had nothing else to live for, and all he wanted
was to die!

He bought a knife and somehow smuggled it past the security checkpoints. All he wanted at the fashion
exhibition was any random woman as his hostage.
The "random woman" he held hostage turned out to be the wife of the Provincial Committee Secretary.
How lucky!
Even if the police shot him on the spot, it was not bad to take down an influential figure with him as
well!
Bianca tried to calm the criminal down. "Don''t be agitated, Sir. The police are contacting Joan Dobbs
now, and they''ll bring her to see you. Is it worth it for you tomit a crime for a woman who betrayed
you? Think of your family..."
She tried to reason with the criminal patiently.
Sean saw that the criminal put his guard down slightly, and he stealthily approached him...
Sean struck out abruptly and knocked out the knife from the criminal''s hand! Then, he pinned the
criminal''s arms behind him and subdued him!
Queenie was saved, though her face was pale because of low blood sugar. The shock had caused her
brain to be muddled. Suddenly, her body went limp, and she copsed on the floor...
