Chapter 833
Chapter 833 Bianca Was Held Hostage
Bianca was not very loud, but her voice echoed in the otherwise empty corridor.
"Meow, meow..." Sweetie meowed and wagged its tail after hearing Bianca's voice.
Leia's room quietened down abruptly.
The wind blew through the open window at the end of the corridor and scattered Bianca’s hair. That made her break out in goosebumps.
Hearing that there was no reaction, Bianca knocked on the door once more. "Leia, Mom is asking you to go downstairs for lunch. Open the door! Are you inside?"
About two minutes later, Leia's angry voice could be heard from inside. "I heard you the first time! What's the rush? You can go downstairs first. I'll go after I change my clothes!" "Alright, I know."
After Bianca said that, she did not go down the stairs. Instead, she waited quietly next to the railing.
Sweetie blinked at Bianca and meowed twice.
Bianca shushed the cat, bent over, and picked it up. She caressed the cat's smooth fur while waiting for Leia to cout of the bedroom.
Leia's room door opened about ten minutes later.
She carefully looked to her left and right to make sure there was nobody around. Then, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBianca happened to be in Leia's blind spot. That was why Leia did not notice her.
Bianca looked into the room and noticed a man inside.
She was very sure that it was a man.
The man's back was facing her. She could not see his face, but she could see the giant tattoo on his back.
"Meow..." Sweetie suddenly jumped out of Bianca's arms. It seemed aggressive as it dashed toward the open room door.
Leia wanted to close the door, but Sweetie suddenly pounced and made her shriek.
The cat bumped the door open.
"You gavesuch a fright, you stupid cat!" Leia's face was contorted with anger. She stomped on the cat's tail hard.
"Meow..." Sweetie let out a pained wail. It bared its claws and scratched Leia's bare calves.
Bianca dashed out hurriedly. "What are you doing, Leia? That's Mom's beloved pet..." "Why... why are you still here?" Leia's face went as pale as a ghost when she saw Bianca suddenly appear.
Bianca saw the man in the room before Leia could finish asking her question.
He turned around with an ambiguous smile on his face.
Bianca's mind went blank when she saw the man's face. "No..." 'Wayne Blatt! Why is he here? Was he the man who was making out with Leia?"
She wanted to run down the stairs, but the man grabbed her from behind and covered her mouth.
She felt something hard and cold on the side of her head. It was a gun.
Bianca's eyes widened in fear. She was battered by helplessness and panic.
"I can't help myself if this woman decides to present herself to me. I'll kill her!" Wayne said viciously to Leia. His finger was on the trigger. Any movement from him and Bianca would die.
Bianca's body was stiff.
She tried to breathe calmly, though her heart was in her throat and she was breaking out in cold sweat. She did not expect that Leia had harbored a wanted criminal in her room.
Leia was also utterly terrified.
She ignored the cat and stammered, "Please... please... Wayne... d... don't kill her... If you kill her, my parents won't forgive me. I'll be driven out of the household. What should I do then? My parents love Bianca very much.
You'll definitely be hunted down! You can't kill her!"
If they were at any other place, Leia would clap her hands and laugh if Wayne killed Bianca.
However, this was not the correct tor place to do so. Not only her parents were there, but Luke was also there. She knew the man's capabilities; he had caused chaos in the hundred-year-old Blatt Corporation before.
The cat took the opportunity to dash down the stairs...
Wayne increased the strength of the hand that covered Bianca's mouth as though intending to smother her. She found it hard to breathe.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer survival instincts caused her to use all the strength in her body to try to pry away that hand.
At that time, Bianca could hear a set of firm footsteps rush up the staircase. Luke was on his way up.
"Bea..." Luke was shocked and angry when he saw that Bianca was held hostage.
He cracked his knuckles, and his gaze turned ice-cold.
"Mmh..." Bianca wanted to tell Luke that Wayne had a gun.
However, she could not open her mouth. All she could do was make muffled sounds.
When Wayne saw Luke, he aimed the gun that had been pointed at Bianca's head at him and fired a bullet.
Luke managed to dodge the bullet from the silenced gun. At the stime, he threw a wooden stool at Wayne.
The bullet hit the carved wooden railing and left a deep mark.
"Ahh!"
Leia shrieked in fear. Her entire body was trembling, and she crouched on the floor while covering her head with her arms, afraid that a stray bullet might hit her.
'That stupid woman!' "Shut up!" Wayne cursed, dodged the incoming stool, and returned a shot from below Bianca's armpit.
The recoil made Bianca's body shake.
The gun might be silenced, but the vibrations caused her ears to ring.
The air was thick with the stench of gunpowder. Wayne's hand was tightly gripping her neck and threatened to crush it.
Bianca continued to struggle. Her slippers were nowhere to be seen, and she dared not make any sound in case that agitated Wayne. She could only open her eyes wide and stare at Luke.
Wayne had a gun and did not hesitate to shoot Luke, while Luke was unarmed and his wife was held hostage. The situation was severely disadvantageous for Luke...
