Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 837

Leia had been in a muddled state after Wayne escaped.

The police questioned her for a long time, but she pretended that she was an innocent victim that had suffered from serious psychological trauma. She gave the police no useful information.

After the police left, Leia slumped on the bed in her bedroom.

Her legs were spread open as she stared at the floor-to-ceiling window. The usually warm sky seemed to be cut into pieces by a knife, and the trees that swayed in the breeze seemed to be man-eating monsters that terrified her.

A sudden gust of wind made the windows shake. The glass threatened to shatter.

Leia instinctively curled up in a corner of her bed. The silk blanket that covered her offered her no warmth.

She remembered how the police had bombarded her with questions in a stern voice and how her father had given her that look of distrust. She suddenly sat up, feeling terrified.

She hoped that Wayne managed to escape.

If the police arrested him, he would definitely name her as his accomplice. What would happen to her then?

Her reputation was already in tatters, a far cry from her pure and innocent image as an actress. She had been plagued by multiple scandals, and that had made her look more like a squatter rather than an adoptive daughter. She was not sure if she would ever restore her reputation.

If news got out that she had been harboring a wanted criminal, she would never be able to redeem herself. Worst of all, her adoptive parents might disown her...

That was not the ending she wanted.

As her mind wandered, her gaze gradually became something sinister.

She was not going to let that happen!

While Leia was lost in thought in her room, Ms. Lang knocked on the door. "Ms. Leia, Mr. and Mrs. Norman, Mr. Crawford, and Ms. Bianca are waiting in the living room for you. They said that they have some questions for you. Won't you come out of your room?"

Leia's body stiffened abruptly, and she reflexively tucked her head.

She wanted to continue her act of being traumatized, but she realized that her father and Luke would not be so easily deceived. It would be best that she follow the caretaker downstairs so that she would not raise any suspicion.

Hearing no response from within the room, Ms. Lang became nervous. "Ms. Leia, Sir and Madam want you to go downstairs. They said that if you're not going down, they'll come up here and escort you downstairs themselves," she said hurriedly.

Leia thought for a while and replied, "I… I have a headache. I'll go down in a while."

"I'll wait for you here then, Ms. Leia. Try to be fast. Sir and Madam seem very anxious."

Ms. Lang had just finished the sentence when Leia abruptly opened the room door.

Ms. Lang involuntarily shuddered when she saw Leia's deathly pale face. She thought that she saw a ghost.
