Chapter 1029 Luke Should Have Been the One to Die

The next morning, Luke sent the children to school because Bianca had to go to the bridal boutique. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

After seeing Luke's car drive away, she sent the design to Sue's mailbox and gave her several pointers. A while later, Leia called her, saying that she was leaving for the bridal boutique.

Bianca hastily packed up and left the house.

She had promised Luke that she would let Sean drive her there, but Sean stayed a half-hour's drive from her mansion. Instead, she told Sean to wait for her at the bridal boutique.

Bianca drove the car out of the mansion. She waited for the front gate to close.

Suddenly, a man rushed out and stopped in front of her car. Bianca abruptly took her foot away from the gas pedal.

Bianca looked closely at the man. He was Xavier Tanner, who had been missing in the past few months.

Ever since Riley's incident, Xavier was nowhere to be found.

In the end, Melissa was not punished. Riley had told the police that she had accidentally fallen by herself. The police were wary about the Lerche family's influence, and the victim had retracted her earlier statement, so the case was considered closed.

Riley moved in to live with the Tanners, but Xavier had not been seen.

Xavier saw that Bianca was sitting in the car. He walked over and knocked on the window.

Bianca did not wind down the window. Instead, she looked at him warily.

Seeing that Bianca did not get out of the car, Xavier leaned over and slammed on the car window impatiently. "I have something to tell you, Bianca."

Xavier saw that Bianca was being wary of him. He went in front of the car, sat on it to stop her from leaving, took out his phone, and dialed her number.

Bianca's phone started ringing. She could see an unfamiliar string of numbers on her phone and could tell that Xavier was calling her.

She did not pick up the call, but Xavier did not give up either.

After the third time, Bianca had no other choice. Xavier was sitting on the hood, so Bianca could not move forward or backward.

Xavier pointed at his phone to indicate that she should answer it.

Bianca answered the call. "What's gotten into you?”

Xavier could hear the disgust and hatred in her voice. If not for Luke, the woman would have already belonged to him.

"Open the door. I have something to tell you." His voice became hoarse as his heart wrenched.

Xavier had been laying low in the outskirts of A City, trying to dig up some dirt about Luke. He did not want to go abroad, but he did not want to go to prison either.

He did not find any dirt on Luke but managed to find something else.

"Xavier Tanner, if you don't move away now, I'm going to call the police!" Bianca was not going to open the door because she knew what Xavier could do to her.

'Idiot woman!' Xavier thought as he saw how guarded she was.

He knew that Bianca was a stubborn woman. Once she said that she would not open the door, she would not open the door unless something threatened her.

Xavier glared into her eyes. "Open the door." "Stop wasting my time, Xavier Tanner. You won't get away with this if you don't run away now," Bianca warned.

Luke had told her that Xavier had committed some serious crimes, which was why he had been laying low.

Xavier chuckled. Did she think that he was afraid of Xavier? He would not have done this if not that he wanted to escape from Luke's clutches!

"Bianca, you'll regret it if you don't get out of the car," he warned.

Bianca furrowed his brows. She felt an inexplicable sense of unease when she saw how confident he was. At that time, she received an incoming call notification.

She glanced at her screen. It was from Leia. She did not answer it but instead continued her standoff with Xavier.

Five minutes later. Xavier gave up after seeing that she had no intention of getting out of the car. "You're heading to the bridal boutique, right?"

Bianca frowned even harder. How did he know?

"Don't go if you want to live," Xavier warned. He wanted to threaten her to stay if she had gotten out of the car, but his threats did not affect her.

"You're being ridiculous!" Bianca was flustered by what he said. She wanted to end the call.

"I'm serious, Bianca. You can't go there," Xavier said sternly. "Someone wants to kill you." "Who?" Bianca asked. Many people wanted to harm or kill her, and she could not do anything other than being cautious.

"I can't say." Xavier's eyelids drooped.

Bianca looked at the man sitting on her hood nervously. He could not say...

"Stop fooling around with me, Xavier. If someone wants to harm me, I wouldn't be safe anywhere anyway." She did not think that Xavier was lying, but she could not be cautious without knowing who was going to harm her.

Could it be Leia?

Leia would not be that stupid to invite her and kill her.

Xavier remained silent. In the next minute, Bianca waited for him to speak while racking her brain for possibilities.

"Just don't go," he said but still did not tell who it was.

Bianca was frustrated. "If you're not telling, then get lost! I'm calling the police."

He wanted to stall her, but she was in a rush.

Xavier remained sitting there.

Bianca ended the call with him and dialed the police hotline. She turned on the speaker and pointed the screen at him so that he could see that she had called the police.

Xavier saw Bianca saying something to the phone. Soon, he could hear the police sirens. He cursed under his breath and left the scene.

He could not be caught by the police now. Knowing Luke, he would send him to prison.

Too bad for him.

The person who should be dying was Luke and not Bianca. He wanted to protect her, but she did not appreciate it.

When he thought about that, Xavier quickly hopped into his car and left the scene.

Bianca breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xavier leave.

The police car stopped next to Bianca's car, and two police officers came out of the car. They knocked on her car window to ask her to get down.

Bianca opened the car door and said, "He went in that direction."

The police officers looked at each other and said, "Did that man harm you, Mrs. Crawford?" "No." Bianca shook her head.

"If he didn't harm you, then we have no reason to arrest him," the police officer said awkwardly.

Bianca realized that Xavier was not a wanted criminal yet. He might be on the run, but Luke had not handed the incriminating evidence to the police.

"Sorry for the trouble, thank you," Bianca said.

The police officers recorded a brief statement before leaving. Bianca returned to the car and noticed she had a missed call notification from

Leia.

She thought for a while and dialed Sean's number.
