Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 610

Leia thought that she would be in the spotlight today.

She knew that Bianca would be in attendance together with Luke. Knowing that Bianca usually dressed simply, she thought that she would dress seductively. She did not expect that Bianca stole the spotlight from her anyway.

Bianca deserved to stand next to Luke. That already proved that she was better than Leia.

Everyone's attention was focused on Bianca.

Bianca wore only light makeup, and her clothes were not the most beautiful in the event. However, she was as brilliant as a star. Her sweet smile, gentle demeanor, and magnanimous bearing caused everyone's eyes to be glued to her.

Even Julie, who was supposed to be the main character of the event, could not compare.

Leia might be smiling, but she could not hide the hatred in her eyes.

If not for that b*tch Bianca, she would have already been a couple with Luke!

Perhaps she would have even been Mrs. Crawford by now!

How did things turn out differently?

Meanwhile, Julie was momentarily caught in a daze when she saw Luke and Bianca walk hand in hand.

She envied Bianca. Both of them had unremarkable backgrounds, but while Julie had only stepped into the upper circles of society, Bianca was already married to a wealthy man. Between the two, Bianca was the winner.

Everyone was envious of Julie's parents, but only Julie knew that she was only an impostor.

…

Deep red velvet curtains gave the hotel a festive atmosphere. A gigantic tall-necked vase held countless white roses in it.

The guests meandered around the hall, while an ensemble played elegant music.

It was time for the banquet to begin.

The hall was decorated extravagantly. Even the tablecloths were selected meticulously. That showed how important the Normans' birth daughter was to Jack and Queenie.

Bianca held Luke's hand tightly. Her palms were sweating.

Luke had promised her that the reunion would not happen. They were only moments away from the start, but Luke remained seated calmly. That made her feel uneasy.

Luke could sense that Bianca was nervous. He smiled at her but did not explain anything.

"Esteemed guests, I am honored that all of you can make it to the Normans' reunion banquet. We have lost our birth daughter for over twenty years, and I am overjoyed to announce that we have found her!" Mr. Norman, who was usually stern, could not control his excitement.

Thunderous applause echoed in the hall.

Behind him, Queenie could not help but wipe her eyes. Her other hand was holding Julie's hand tightly, as though Julie would disappear if she let go.

Julie hugged Queenie to comfort her. "Don't be sad, Mom. I'll stay by your side and never leave," she said adorably.

Bianca felt dizzy as she looked at the happy and loving family on the stage.

Leia turned her head away, not willing to participate in that sham. Suddenly, from the corner of her eye, she noticed someone who was not supposed to be there -- Dr. Hoover!

Alarm bells went off. She could tell that something was amiss.
