Chapter 736 Bianca Wondered If She Was Seeing Things


    Leia''s gaze difited Bianca, but she did not think too much of it.


    After all, Leia had never seen eye to eye with her, especially after she had reunited with her birth


    mother.


    She had taught Leia a lesson several times, which kept her attitude in check.


    However, she wondered if she was seeing things. She thought that Leia had lost a lot of weight


    recently, and her beautiful hair that used to be her pride had be a lot thinner. Her animated gaze


    was sunken, hollow, and unfocused, as though she was a migratory bird that had lost her way.


    Leia shed an unnerving grin when she saw Bianca.


    Bianca shuddered and turned her head away. She looked at the ck jar next to Queenie.


    She could catch a whiff of something fragrant emanating from the jar. ''Are you pickling something,


    Mom? It smells quite good." "Your dad loves pickles, and so I''m pickling some radishes and gherkins


    for him. I''ll give you and Luke some when it''s ready. Do you like pickles too, Tommy?" Queenie said


    lovingly.


    Tommy hugged Queenie''s neck and said adorably, "I love anything you make, Grandma!" "You


    precocious cutie!”


    Queenie was delighted by Tommy''s words. She gave her grandson a few kisses.


    However, she frowned when she noticed the presents next to Bianca''s feet. "Bea, I''ve told you that you


    don''t need to bring anything whenever youe. Why don’t you ever listen? We don''t need anything.


    All we hope is that youe back often with the kids."


    Bianca picked up the presents and smiled gently. "I know that you and Dad aren''t short of anything,


    Mom, but it''s not the same when your daughter gives you presents, isn''t it? Also, I always feel guilty


    whenever I think that I used to be busy with work and don''t have the time to apany the two of


    you..." "Have you always been this stubborn, my child?" Queenie shook her head helplessly and went


    inside the house with Tommy in her arms.


    Bianca followed behind, carrying the presents.


    In the living room, Tommy tugged his grandmother''s arm and said precociously, "I''m already a big boy


    now, Grandma. You should put me down because you might be tired after carrying me. I can sit on the


    couch." "Alright, alright, whatever you say, my baby." Queenie smiled indulgently and ced Tommy on


    the couch. "I''ll go to the bedroom and bring you a present. Wait for me for a while." "Okay!"


    Right after Queenie went away, the doorbell rang. The caretaker went to open the door and saw two


    police officers, one male and one female, standing outside.


    "Is this the residence of Leia Norman?" The female police officer asked.


    The caretaker was flustered, though she nodded. "Yes, this is the Norman residence. Do you have any


    business with Ms. Leia?"


    The male police officer shed his badge and said, "We''re from the A City Headquarters. We''ve


    received an anonymous tip that Ms. Leia Norman is involved in illegal drug usage and possession, and


    we would like to bring her back for an investigation."


    The caretaker was confused and shocked. "What did you say? Ms. Leia is involved in drug


    possession? How... how is that possible?"


    Bianca came out of the house. "Can I help you, officers?"


    The two police officers exchanged nces with each other, and the male police officer continued, "Is


    Ms. Leia Norman home now? We received an anonymous tipst night that she is involved in illegal


    drug usage and possession. Preliminary investigation has shown that the culprit matches most of Ms.


    Norman''s characteristics, and our superiors have ordered us to bring her back for the investigation."


    Bianca was shocked. Leia was involved in drug possession?


    She remembered Leia''s unfocused gaze and sinister demeanor and guessed that it might be true.


    Queenie came out of the bedroom and handed a limited edition puzzle to Tommy.


    She noticed the police officers in the front yard and went out of the house." What''s wrong, Bea? Why


    are the police here? Are they here to look for Jack?


    When Leia saw the police officers from the second floor, her mind instantly went ck, her vision went


    blurry, and her entire body started shaking.


    No!


    She had hidden the fact that she was taking illegal drugs. No one could have found out that easily.


    Moreover, she was the second daughter of the Norman family. Her father was the Provincial Committee


    Secretary, and her mother was a well-known businesswoman and phnthropist. They would not


    launch an investigation on her!


    Even so, she dared not go downstairs.


    She locked the door shut, then curled up in her nket on her bed. Her body felt cold in the mid-July


    summer heat.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    The police officer remained diplomatic when they saw Queeniee out of the house. "Mrs. Norman,


    we suspect that Ms. Leia Norman is involved in illegal drug use and possession. We want to bring her


    back to the police station for an investigation, and I hope that you will cooperate with us.''


    Queenie could not believe what she heard. Her usually gentle voice became shrill. "Are... are you


    mistaken? Leia has always been a sensible girl. How could she be using drugs? I don’t believe that my


    daughter would do anything illegal!’


    Bianca''s heart wrenched when she saw how Queenie harbored Leia without any rational reason.


    She looked at the two police officers, though her words were directed at


    Queenie. "Let the police officers in, Mom. If Leia is innocent, then she won''t have anything to worry


    about. I believe that Leia won''t do anything stupid either."


    Queenie became calmer after hearing Bianca''s words. "Pleasee in, officers. Leia hasn''t been


    feeling welltely, and I think that she''s still in bed. I''ll go upstairs and get her," she said.


    The two police officers nodded.


    They had to be extra careful not to offend Mr. and Mrs. Jack Norman, even when they were on official


    business.


    Queenie and Bianca went upstairs and knocked on Leia''s door. They realized that the bedroom door


    was locked.


    "Are you still in bed, Leia? Please open the door for your mother. I have something to ask you."


    Queenie tried to make her tone of voice as normal as possible, but there was no reaction from Leia


    inside the room.


    Bianca smirked and said coldly, "Leia, there are police officers downstairs saying that you''re involved in


    illegal drug use and possession. They''re looking for you to help them in their investigation. I''m going to


    count to three. If you don''t open the door, it means that you admit to it. One, two..."


    The word "three" had just left Bianca''s mouth when the door was flung open abruptly.


    Leia, dressed in thin clothes, stood in front of them with a sinister expression on her face.
