Chapter 912 He Could Ensure That Bianca Was Safe From All Harm


    The servant did not move.


    She was caught between Lacey and Luke and did not know what to do.


    The ambnce arrived shortly. Before Xavier carried Riley downstairs, he said, "Bianca isn''t like that,


    Mom. The truth will be revealed once Riley wakes up."


    Lacey was disappointed in her son. Why would he still be speaking up for Bianca when he was about


    to lose his child?


    Her chest heaved with anger.


    Seeing that the servant did not act, she took out her phone. "If you''re not going to call the police, I will!"


    Luke grasped her hand tightly and said sinisterly, "Think twice before you act, Mrs. Tanner."


    Lacey was at the height of her anger. She wanted to pull her hand away, but she realized that she


    could not move her hand at all. The pain from her wrist caused her to tremble. "What are you doing?


    Are you threatening me?"


    Bianca put her hands on Luke. "The truth will prevail. If you''d like to call the police, Mrs. Tanner, then


    please go ahead. However, if Ms. Riley wakes up and proves that I am innocent, I think you owe me an


    apology." "You..." Lacey''s mind was racing.


    No one should have seen Melissamit the deed. How confident was she that she could pin it on


    Bianca?


    The three people were caught in a standoff when Daniel came over. "What are you doing, you


    woman?"


    Lacey immediately asked him for help. "Come and help me, Daniel. Bianca pushed Riley and doesn''t


    admit it. I want to call the police."


    Daniel was still worrying over Luke''s threat. It was very stupid for Lacey to offend Luke.


    "What''s gotten into your head? Did you see it yourself?" He roared, then turned to apologize to Luke.


    "Your Aunt Lacey doesn''t mean it, Luke. Can you forgive her?"


    Luke loosened his grip and said coldly, "Please go ahead if you''d like to involve the police, Mrs. Tanner.


    There''s something odd about this incident, and the police should conduct a thorough investigation."


    "Yes, I trust the police to do a good job," Bianca also said.


    Daniel''s back was already drenched in a cold sweat. He knew the implication in Luke''s words.


    If the police came to investigate, what If Luke told them about what Xavier had done?


    Seeing that Lacey was about to dial 911, he hurriedly snatched the phone and said, "This isn''t the time


    to get the police involved. We should follow Riley to the hospital to see that she is safe."


    Xavier was only a couple of years younger than Luke. His parents were worried that he was not


    married yet. Daniel was not very satisfied with Riley''s status, but he had been anticipating the child to


    be born.


    Lacey did not know why Daniel was behaving like that; she thought that he was afraid of Luke. "Don''t


    tell me that you''re afraid of him, you coward! I want Bianca to spend the night in the lock-up!" She


    yelled.


    Daniel delivered a heavy p on Lacey''s face. The phone fell on the floor and the screen shattered.


    "How dare you p me!" Lacey red at Daniel and ground her teeth. "Are you crazy, Daniel Tanner?


    I''ve never been hit all my life! Very well. Looks like Bianca has managed to seduce you as well. I''ll kill


    you today!"


    The Tanner residence instantly descended into chaos.


    Lacey grabbed a vase and hurled it at Daniel.


    "You crazy woman!" Daniel did not back down.


    "Sir, Madam, please stop fighting." The servants tried to break up the fight.


    Luke watched all that impassively. He would make Lacey pay for what she said.


    "Let''s go home, Luke." Bianca was not in the mood to watch the farce.


    "Mm." Luke was not nning to be the mediator. He hugged her waist and prepared to leave.


    While they were walking out, Bianca suddenly said, "Luke, I think that Mrs.


    Tanner will still call the police."


    The entire incident was too suspicious. Riley was probably an innocent pawn in Lacey''s scheme.


    "No one will hurt you as long as I am here," Luke promised. It did not matter if Lacey called the police.


    He could ensure that Bianca was safe from all harm.


    "What do you think? Did Xavier arrange all that?" Bianca knew that someone was behind the incident,


    but she did not know who.


    Xavier would be frightfully immoral if he were the mastermind.


    After all, the baby in Riley''s womb was his child too.


    "Xavier was in the study when it happened." Luke was not in the mood to think about the incident. If he


    were pressed, he could think of several names on the top of his head.


    For example, Lacey Foster.


    The next day was Bianca''s first self-defense lesson with Rain. She had to start from scratch because


    she did not have any experience at all.


    A caretaker from the mansion came over and said politely, "Madam, you have a phone call from


    Crawford Manow." "Alright." Bianca guessed that it must have something to do with what happened


    yesterday.


    She did not follow up with the developments of the incident after she and Luke left the Tanner


    residence. She did not know if Riley managed to save the baby.


    Bianca informed Rain that she was taking a break and went to answer the call.


    The call was from Allison. After Bianca said hello, Allison directly said," Come over to Crawford Manor."


    Bianca shook her head helplessly as she listened to the busy tone.


    Allison was not willing to utter an extra syble to Bianca.


    "What''s wrong, Madam?" Rain was Luke''s subordinate, and she was courteous toward Bianca.


    "I''ll have to go back to Crawford Manor for a bit. Sorry about the interruption, Sensei Rain." Bianca had


    been calling Rain "Sensei Rain" despite her objections.


    After all, she was Rain''s martial arts student.


    "Alright. Should I tell Boss?" Rain asked.


    "There''s no need. I''m only going back to Crawford Manor and nowhere else. There won''t be any


    danger." Bianca said as she went up the stairs.


    In the bedroom, she changed her tracksuit into a long white dress.


    Back at Crawford Manor, Bianca looked around the living room impassively and greeted each one of


    the people there.


    The only one who replied was Old Master Crawford.


    "You''re here." Old Master Crawford sounded old. Bianca could not tell his emotions from his voice.


    Bianca nodded at him. "Grandpa."


    The other people in the living room included two police officers and Lacey, who had a bruised and


    swollen face.

    "Well, Old Master Crawford? Can we have an exnation now?" Lacey wanted to blurt out in curses


    when she saw Bianca walk through the door.


    Her husband would not have beaten her if not for that little b*tch.


    She spent the entire night racking her brain but still could not figure out why Daniel stood on Bianca''s


    side.


    Did he have a crush on her?


    "What do you have to say, Bea?" Old Master Crawford did not want to stand on anyone''s side, though


    he wanted to hear what Bianca had to say.


    "What is there to say? My poor grandchild is gone, and it''s all thanks to that b*tch Bianca. Do you have


    a grudge against us, Bianca Rayne? Why must you harm us over and over again?" Lacey was not as


    aggressive as yesterday but instead yed the victim. She wailed loudly while thumping her chest.
