Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 911

Luke's objective was for Xavier to stay away from Bianca. If Xavier did not want to leave the country, Luke had other options for him.

"Would you like him to spend some time inside then, Uncle Daniel?" His voice was cold, clearly not in the mood for negotiation.

"Please, no!" Daniel cried out in shock.

Xavier was indignant when he saw his father begging and groveling. He did not believe that Luke did not have any dirt. Luke got lucky in the corruption case; someone had taken the fall for him.

Perhaps he could find another one…

Luke folded his arms together. His diamond wedding ring shone brilliantly under the lamplight, which stung Xavier's eyes.

Daniel tugged Xavier's shirt sleeve in case his son acted rashly. "Xavier is almost going to be a father, Luke. After that girl gives birth to his child, he'll have to marry a daughter of the Lerches. Why would he harass your wife then?"

"He can marry outside of the country." Luke stood up and headed toward the door.

If Xavier wanted to marry Melissa, he would not have impregnated the other girl. It was pathetic of Daniel to hope that the Tanners and the Lerches could be united by marriage.

Xavier clenched his fists and stood up when he saw that Luke was about to leave the room.

Daniel instantly held him down. "Stop it!"

"Would you rather that I leave the country then?" Xavier's eyes were bloodshot. He was not going to suffer in another country.

Daniel had no other choice. He sighed when he saw Luke leave and close the door behind him. "What other choice do you have when he has dirt on you? Just do what he says for now. I'll enroll you in a college, and you can tell other people that you're furthering your studies."

"I won't go." Xavier shoved his father away and left the room. He was not going to let Luke get his wish!

Luke went downstairs to the living room but did not see Bianca.

"Where is my wife?" He asked.

"I think I saw Mrs. Crawford go up the stairs earlier," the servant replied. "Right. Madam invited Mrs. Crawford to the lounge for some tea."

Luke frowned. Why would Lacey invite Bianca for tea?

That was utterly ridiculous. He knew that everyone in the Tanner family hated Bianca to the bone.

Feeling worried about his wife, Luke turned around and headed upstairs.

Bianca was shocked by the stench of blood when she pushed the door to the lounge open.

Riley was sprawled in a pool of blood. She did not make a sound or movement. Evidently, she had already passed out.

Blood continued to flow, staining her white dress red. It was a shocking sight.

"Help!" Instinctively, Bianca turned around and yelled.

Lacey was already waiting in the room next door. When she heard Bianca's voice, she rushed out of the room and shoved Bianca away. When she saw the unconscious Riley, she pointed at Bianca's face. "What did you do?"

Bianca was puzzled by the sudden accusation. She took a step back because the stench of blood was choking her.

"I didn't do anything. She was already like that when I opened the door," she said.

Bianca's cry for help attracted the attention of several people. Xavier rushed over and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Bianca was fine.

He was glad that she was not in danger.
