Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 443

Chapter 443 I’m Getting Married on the First of May? Why Didn't I Know About That?

Jack helped Old Mr. Norman get to his feet. The old man looked at Luke appreciatively and said, "You're here, Luke and Bianca. Thank you for coming to visit me. You even brought presents!"

Luke greeted the two men courteously and placed the fruit basket on the table. Then, he helped Old Mr. Norman sit down on his chair again. "Please sit down. I heard that you're not feeling well, so Bianca and I are here to visit. How are you feeling?" "I'm fine. There's nothing major..." Old Mr. Norman said tenderly, "You're here too, Bianca. I happen to have several questions to ask you about the design. There are a few parts that I don't understand..."

Bianca smiled gently and said, "I will answer any questions that you might have to your satisfaction, Old Mr. Norman." "That's great! Leia, come over here and greet our guests." Old Mr. Norman beckoned to Leia.

Leia walked over obediently and said sweetly, "Grandpa."

Her smile was gentle and beautiful but superficial.

Bianca noticed that Leia's gaze on her was as sharp and cold as knives of ice. That sent a chill down her spine.

Old Mr. Norman introduced Bianca to his granddaughter. "This is Bianca Rayne. She's an architectural designer from T Corporation. She's amazing for designing marvelous works at such a young age!" He praised.

Leia hid the disdain in her eyes. She stared at Bianca and said gently," Bianca and I know each other, Grandpa. She helped me when I was doing my commercial shoot at T Corporation."

When she recalled the time when she was supposed to torment Bianca but ended up having her endorsement deal taken away, she was frustrated and angry!

"Oh, so Leia knows Ms. Rayne! Which college did you go to, Ms. Rayne?" A shrill voice was heard from behind. Bianca turned around and saw that it was Old Mrs. Norman.

Old Mrs. Norman knew that her granddaughter had a crush on Luke. She was also satisfied with the young man's character.

Unfortunately, the man loved another woman. Old Mrs. Norman had always doted on her adoptive granddaughter, and she thought that Leia was the best. Leia's character, upbringing, and looks were all better than Bianca's, so why did Bianca deserve to be with Luke?

She was unhappy about Bianca's presence, and therefore there were barbs in her words.

Bianca could understand Old Mrs. Norman's hostility, but she nonetheless felt uneasy about it.

Leia was a love rival, and her grandmother naturally sided with her.

She did not pay any heed to it. Instead, she said candidly, "I graduated from a normal college abroad, Old Mrs. Norman. The name isn't worth mentioning. I don't think the name of the college is as important as how the knowledge is applied. After all, an academic degree is but a stepping stone. What's more important is one's abilities."

Old Mrs. Norman was disdainful when she heard that. She thought that Bianca did not want to let her know about the name of the college because she graduated from a degree mill.

She continued praising her granddaughter, "My Leia graduated from the London College of Arts. That's one of the most prestigious colleges in the world. She got a visual and performing arts degree from there, and that's why she received the best actress award in her debut role. Unlike some people who say that they study overseas, they probably paid some money to a third-rate degree mill..."

Bianca replied modestly, "Money can't buy a degree from my university, Old Mrs. Norman. St. Andrew's College is known for its academic integrity, and it has one of the best research and academic facilities in the world. It's no Oxford or Cambridge, but it's the third best university in England. We're not the best, but we're not the worst either.”

Bianca's words made Old Mrs. Norman shut her mouth.
