Chapter 853 Setting Her Up

Of course, Bianca did not say it.

After all, she did not want anything to do with that man.

Whatever he did was none of her business.

The rest of the lunch was just as dramatic. Bianca enjoyed her meal while watching the comedy. On the other hand, Leia was the total opposite. The meal was tasteless, and she found it hard to swallow her food.

After lunch, Brody and Leia looked at each other for a while, and he invited her to go shopping.

Old Mrs. Norman stared earnestly at Leia, and she could only agree sheepishly.

After the couple left, Bianca stayed at hand played chess with Old Mr. Norman.

Old Mr. Norman was a skilled player, but Bianca was not bad either. That was how they spent the next two hours.

While playing, Bianca and her grandfather chatted about architecture. Bianca was surprised that her grandfather was quite knowledgeable in architecture, even more so than sprofessional architects, even though he did not have a degree in it. That impressed Bianca quite a bit.

As Old Mr. Norman captured one of Bianca's pawns, he said,"... The design of a building is influenced by both natural or manmade factors. A good design will make its surroundings better instead of becoming a burden. The interior and exterior of a building should follow the natural order. It's not easy to be an outstanding designer, Bea. You might have a degree in architectural design, but you still have a lot to learn."

Bianca moved one of her bishops backward to protect her other pieces and said respectfully, "Thank you for your wisdom, Grandpa. I will remember what you said." "Mm," Old Mr. Norman replied satisfactorily and continued, "Also, you should keep on practicing your painting. There are many similarities between painting and architectural design. When a designer designs a building, they will have to figure out how to place everything while allowing enough space for movement. Similarly, painting is about finding the balance between positive and negative space. We shouldn't always be looking for something that would fill our lives. Sometimes, we have to take a step back and enjoy the idle moments." "Mm, I know." "Also, I have a collection of antique books about traditional architectural design. You can take a few books hand understand how people in the past thought..."

Old Mr. Norman imparted a lot of wisdom to Bianca, which she remembered.

Eventually, Old Mr. Norman began to yawn. Bianca could see that he was getting sleepy, so she helped him to his bedroom. After that, she went to the study and looked for the titles that her grandfather had told her.

There were many shelves in the study, and the books covered many areas of knowledge. It was like a mini library.

Moreover, the books were neatly arranged by categories, such as politics, economics, language, design, and art. It was easy for Bianca to find what she wanted.

Bianca began to look through the architecture section. All the books there were worth reading.

She picked several classic books on architecture, sat in front of the desk, and began to read.

When Leia returned, she noticed that the door of her grandfather's study was ajar, while Bianca was sitting inside reading.

Her hair was swept back, and her fair and slender neck was revealed. As she sat there and read quietly, her tranquil and elegant demeanor seemed irresistibly attractive.

Leia was reminded of Brody's eager gaze on Bianca, and she becangry. She took several steps and went into the study.

After she was inside, she deliberately flaunted her new outfit.

Brody had given her the money to buy it. She wanted to show it off to Bianca.

Unexpectedly, Bianca did not seem to notice her, even though she tried to look as flashy as possible. Bianca's eyes were transfixed on that boring book, and she did not even lift her head to give Leia a single glance.

Leia was annoyed by that. She coughed loudly and shouted into Bianca's ear. "Bianca!"

Bianca was shocked by the sudden noise.

She lifted her head away from the book and frowned when she noticed that it was Leia. "It's you..." "What are you reading? You're so engrossed. You didn't even seecoming in." Leia pouted and danced around Bianca like a butterfly. She wanted to show off her new outfit and accessories.

Bianca did not even look at her. "Get out. I'm reading," she said.

Leia was instantly furious. She slammed the bags of luxury goods on the table heavily and said, "You don't have the right to askto leave! This is Grandpa and Grandma's house!"

Bianca did not even lift her head. "You're welcto stay here, but please be quiet. I don't like being disturbed when I'm reading."

Leia was extremely irritated by Bianca's nonchalance.

Suddenly, she noticed her grandfather's antique inkwell in front of Bianca, and she had an idea.

As far as she knew, the antique inkwell was over a hundred years old, and it was carved entirely by hand. It looked dark like ink, but at night, it would give off a gentle white light. Jack had won it in an auction at a high price.

Old Mr. Norman treasures the inkwell. He would usually keep it safe whenever guests were around.

Leia only saw it out in the open once. Why was it placed on the table today?

However, she was not bothered by the reason the inkwell was on the table.

While Bianca was focused on the book, Leia discreetly shifted the inkwell from the middle of the table, past the pile of books, and to the edge.

If Bianca moved her elbow, the inkwell would fall onto the floor and shatter

Bianca was engrossed in reading. She did not notice Leia's discreet actions.

Leia stood behind Bianca like a phantom and smiled sinisterly. "I'll leave you to your book then. I'm heading off to Grandma's room."

She turned around to leave, but she pretended to stumble and "accidentally " bumped into Bianca's back.

Bianca was pushed forward, and her right elbow knocked onto the items on the table. The inkwell fell onto the floor with a bang...
