Chapter 334 Queenie Meets Bianca...
Leia clenched her fists. How could Bianca be a match with the outstanding Luke?
Old Mr. Norman's eyes sparkled when he heard Luke's introduction of the woman. "Bianca Rayne? Is she the sperson that designed my new house?" "Yes, Old Mr. Norman, I am the one who designed your house. If you have any feedback or suggestions about the design, you can contactabout anything." Bianca's tone was gentle and soft, which satisfied Old Mr. Norman greatly.
'Mm, this young woman is not bad. Not only is she courteous, but she's also modest about her talents.'
Old Mr. Norman thought that Bianca was an extraordinary match for Luke.
At the stime, Old Mrs. Norman noticed her granddaughter's unpleasant expression.
From observing how Leia had never once looked away from the man, she knew that her granddaughter had a crush on Luke. 1
However, when Luke said that the woman next to her was his girlfriend...
Leia's expression darkened instantly, and that had made Old Mrs. Norman feel sorry for her.
Old Mrs. Norman truly loved her granddaughter, unlike Old Mr. Norman.
She did not seem pleased with Bianca when she saw that Bianca had snatched Luke's love away from her granddaughter.
Old Mrs. Norman sized up Bianca with a harsh gaze. "The young woman next to you, Luke, which family is she from?"
Luke did not like how Old Mrs. Norman looked at Bianca, but he did not say it.
He held Bianca's hand even more tightly. "She's not from any remarkable family, but she has won my heart." i

Naturally, her gaze on Bianca beceven more disdainful.
The young woman's appearance and bearing were outstanding, but Old Mrs. Norman was biased against her. She thought that Bianca's modest mannerisms were a sign of timidity.
Bianca was baffled about why Old Mrs. Norman was so visibly hostile toward her.
It was the first tthat she had met Old Mrs. Norman and Queenie, but for sreason, they looked at her with enmity.
Luke pretended as though nothing happened. He hugged Bianca's waist and nodded at Old Mr. Norman. "I won't bother you any further, Sir. I'll bring her around."
He could feel that Bianca was uncomfortable.
To be frank, he would not want to participate in boring social gatherings like these if not for Old Mr. Norman.
"Alright, Luke. Make yourselves at home," Old Mr. Norman said casually.
Luke brought Bianca away.
Leia looked on as the couple left. Her eyes flashed with an array of emotions. No one knew what she was thinking...
The five-star hotel had all sorts of amenities, such as internationally- themed bars, restaurants, cafes, and other entertainment outlets. It was like a mini holiday resort.
Luke brought Bianca to the observation deck.
The observation deck was behind an immense floor-to-ceiling window. Next to it was an oval crystal coffee table.
On the coffee table were a teapot and several exquisite porcelain cups. On the sides were two wicker chairs decorated with wreaths.
Sitting on the wicker chairs, one could look at the starry sky as well as the city below.
Most importantly, not many people went there, and it was a tranquil place.
"If you're not comfortable in the hall, then you can stay here. I'll bring you hwhen I've done my obligations." Luke carried Bianca to a wicker chair.
Then, he kissed her cheek, opened his wallet, and handed her a credit card. "Take the card and buy anything you want. However, you have to be back here before midnight, in case I can't find you."
Luke spoke to Bianca as though he was speaking to a child.
Bianca stood up awkwardly from the chair. "I know. I'm already an adult.
Would I go missing? I'll just wait for you here."
After getting assurance from Bianca, Luke went back to the banquet hall.
As the CEO of T Corporation, Luke might seem carefree, but there were certain obligations that he had to perform.
There were certain people he had to meet.
After Luke left, Bianca lazily looked around her.
She was an introvert, and she was not used to social situations. Moreover, it was the first tshe had attended a socialite event, which made her even more nervous.
Finally, she could be slightly at ease.
Bianca thought that Old Mr. Norman was a kind man.
However, she could not forget the strange gazes from Queenie and Old Mrs. Norman.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe could not understand why they seemed to be hostile toward her...
However, she did not trouble herself over that. After all, that was probably the only tthat she would meet them...
Bianca looked toward the event hall from the observation deck.
In the hall, the ladies and gentlemen behaved elegantly, and relaxing music played from the speakers.
Everyone mingled while holding wine glasses. It was like a scene from a television drama series.
Bianca spotted Leia.
Leia was in the hall greeting guests with her father. She was in her element as she moved amid the crowd. She had a beautiful appearance, and she smiled gently without showing her teeth. People were praising her looks.
Compared to the haughty and mocking person in the fashion store, Leia seemed like a different person.
When Bianca was lost in thought, she suddenly heard a voice from behind." Are you Bianca Rayne? I'd like to chat if you're free."
Bianca turned around. It was Queenie.
Queenie looked noble and elegant, and she wore a gentle smile on her face. However, Bianca was inexplicably nervous.
"Mrs. Norman?" Bianca said.
Queenie sat down on one of the chairs and said to Bianca, "Please sit down." "Is there something, Mrs. Norman?" Bianca asked after she sat down on the other chair.
"It's about my precious daughter. I've lost my appetite because of you," Queenie said with an ambiguous smile on her face.
"I don't understand what you mean, Madam." Bianca frowned.
"I know that you're a good girl, Bianca. I’m here to ask you for something."
Queenie poured a cup of tea for Bianca and handed it to her. "I hope that you can leave Luke Crawford on your own accord..." 2
