Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 861

Jack calmly kept away the stamp pad and the documents.

Queenie happened to step into the study as he locked the drawer.

Leia remained kneeling on the floor, staring vacantly at her father's actions. How she wished that she could spit fire from her eyes to burn those documents into ashes!

Fortunately, her mother came back just in time. Her father would not give her a hard time.

Queenie's smiling face sank drastically when she saw her daughter kneeling on the floor while sobbing as though she was punished.

She hurriedly rushed up to Leia and helped her up. "Why are you kneeling on the floor, Leia? The floor is so cold. Get up!"

Leia stubbornly remained kneeling, her frail body swaying as though she was a dying flower, and shook her head at her mother. "I should be punished for my mistakes, Mom. Dad is right to punish me."

When Queenie heard that, she dragged Leia from the floor and glared at her husband. "Why did you have to make her kneel if she did something wrong? You could have disciplined her some other way. To think that you're the Provincial Committee Secretary, too!"

Previously, Jack had sent Queenie out on some errands, knowing that she would protect their daughter.

He did not expect that she would return so soon.

He glared at Leia coldly, knowing that his daughter must have gotten Queenie to come back. He wondered why he did not notice how scheming his daughter was.

No wonder she would dare to harm Bianca.

He took a deep breath. "I have my reasons for doing this, Queenie. You don't have to meddle in this. One must pay the price for their mistakes. If you continue to harbor her, she will only make bigger and bigger mistakes. There's only so much I can do to protect my daughter; I don't want to wait until it's too late!" It was the first time that Jack had used such a stern tone on his wife.

Queenie was too protective of her daughter. She glared angrily at her husband. "Leia is a kind girl. She might have made some mistakes, but she's already learned her lesson. Why must you harp on them? Don't you know that you'll traumatize our child? Please keep your airs of a politician at work and not bring them home…"

She looked lovingly at her daughter. "Your dad is muddled, Leia. He thinks that he can order us around like we're his subordinates. Don't mind him. Let's go!"

Leia glanced timidly at her father. Her legs were shaking. "Dad is still angry at me, Mom. I'll kneel here until he's not angry anymore…"

Queenie poked Leia's head with a finger. "Silly girl, do you like kneeling that much? Don't you listen to your mother? Why, Jack, are you prepared to let our daughter for an entire day?"

Jack saw that his wife was glaring at him resentfully. He knew that he was not going to discipline their daughter anymore.

In any case, he had already achieved what he wanted.
