Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 357

Chapter 357 The Truth Behind the Adoption!

Leia knew from Allison that Luke was having dinner at Blue Honors. She dressed up and wanted to surprise him with her appearance.

She did not expect that Bianca was together with him.

'What's so good about Bianca that he loved him so much?’ i

What made Leia even more disconcerted was that she had met Scarlett Quincy, a girl from the same orphanage.

Leia closed her eyes, trying hard not to think of those detestable memories.

Unfortunately, scenes from the past replayed in her mind like a movie.

When they were taken in by the orphanage at the same time, Leia was six years old, while Scarlett was five.

Back then, Leia was emaciated, and she did not speak much. She looked as though she came out of a refugee camp. Meanwhile, Scarlett was dressed in a puffy princess dress and wearing a tiara. She was as beautiful as an angel.

Scarlett had a good temperament, and she knew how to sing, dance, and tell stories. Every child in the orphanage, no matter girl or boy, liked her and constantly surrounded her.

Meanwhile, no one ignored the timidly and shy Leia.

Leia could not understand why Scarlett would end up in an orphanage. She should have belonged in a wealthy family, where she would be showered by love and adoration.

All she knew was that she wanted people to pay attention to her instead of Scarlett!

The six-year-old Leia looked like she was good friends with Scarlett, but she had framed Scarlett in secret: Stealing, pranking, putting bugs in the other children's beds, setting fire to public property...

She had blamed Scarlett for all those misdeeds.

Eventually, she replaced Scarlett as the most adored child in the orphanage.

Meanwhile, Scarlett was branded as a "thief" and a "problem child,’ and everyone hated her. Scarlett spent her next five years in emotional violence.

One day, Jack Norman and his wife came to the orphanage to adopt a child.

Leia knew that her opportunity to change her life had come. She had to grasp that opportunity so that she could escape the orphanage.

After living there for many years, she knew that the orphanage was nothing but a charitable front with terrible living conditions. Not only did she not have a full meal, but certain good-looking children would disappear every year to be replaced by more children. That had made her wary.

Leia did not understand at first what was going on. However, she accidentally eavesdropped on the conversation between the warden and some strangers and found out about their underhanded dealings.

The orphanage was a charity in disguise. Actually, they were grooming girls as child brides.

Once the girls come of age, they would sell them to those bad guys.

From the conversation, Leia found out that they would groom her until she was eighteen years old, directly sell her to a wealthy man, and earn a fortune from there.

As for herself, the warden said that she would be sold in one or two years to a disabled tycoon who had a penchant for young girls...
