Chapter 910 Luke Must Have Done Something

Lacey was beginning to waver.

Melissa was not done yet. She shook Lacey's arm and said, "Aunt Lacey, if you like children, I'll give you one once Xavier comes to his senses and marries me. You don't need Riley's baby. Who knows if you’re only raising a child for someone else?"

Lacey became wholly convinced. "Alright, but that b*tch is already a few months into her pregnancy. We can't afford to wait if we want to get rid of it."

Melissa hurriedly added, "I've asked the doctor that examined her. He said that the baby isn't firmly embedded in the placenta, and she'll have to be careful. Otherwise..."

She pretended to hesitate.

"Go on, Melissa! Otherwise what?" Lacey was anxious when she considered that the child in Riley's womb might not be Xavier's.

"Otherwise, if she bumps into something, she might easily lose it." Melissa let go of her hand. Now that she had gotten Lacey on her side, it was time that the little b*tch left Xavier.

'Do you think that you're special just because of the baby? In your dreams!' "Hmm, if that's the case..." Lacey narrowed her gaze and sank into thought.

Melissa leaned close to her ear and told Lacey about her plan.

Lacey immediately agreed with it, though she hesitated. "If we do that, it'll be bad if Xavier finds out."

Melissa grimaced menacingly. "It'll be fine as long as he doesn't know about it. Not only will he not know about it, but no one else in the world will. There's a woman you hate in attendance at today's banquet, right?"

Melissa was talking about Bianca.

Bianca was the cause of the Tanners' decline.

Lacey nodded in assent. It would be great if she could kill two birds with one stone.

Melissa was delighted. After tonight, she would be the one standing next to Xavier.

Daniel sat in the study to catch his breath. When he felt a lot better, he went out of the room.

Melissa thought of doing something and told Lacey that she had to leave for a while.

Xavier's bedroom was next to the study.

Melissa sneaked into the study and pressed her ear against the wall to hear what was going on in the bedroom.

The walls of the mansion were not particularly thick, but the banquet guests were noisy outside, and Melissa could not hear anything.

She bit her fingernails, wondering if she should knock on the door to disturb them.

However, she considered that Xavier had a rotten temper.

She grunted coldly. "I'll deal with you later, you little b*tch."

She turned around and glanced at the messy desk. As far as she knew, her uncle usually kept it well- organized.

However, Melissa was not going to take the initiative to tidy it. When she was about to leave, she noticed a piece of paper curled up under the desk.

Only a corner was seen. It was by pure chance that she noticed it.

Melissa pulled it out. When she glanced at it, she was shocked.

That piece of paper was one part of the document that Luke had given Daniel.

"Did Xavier..." Melissa could not believe it.

Her phone began to ring. Instead of returning the piece of paper to where she found it, she instinctively stashed it in her handbag.

The call was from Lacey. She stammered, still in shock, "Yes, Aunt Lacey?" "Where are you? The banquet is about to begin. Don't be late. I've already saved a spot for you,” Lacey said.

"Alright, I'll come now," Melissa said as she rushed out of the study.

Throughout the banquet, Daniel and Xavier maintained some distance awake from Luke’s seat.

Bianca could guess that Luke must have done something to them.

The guests that sat at their table tried to curry favor with Luke but did not go overboard.

After the banquet, Luke took Bianca's hand and prepared to leave.

A servant came to him. Mr. Crawford, Sir is requesting your presence in the study." "Noted." Luke stopped walking and gently pinched Bianca's cheek. "Bea, will you wait for me in the living room?”

Bianca nodded. "Okay."

Luke was very familiar with the layout of the Tanner residence. He saw Bianca sit down on the couch and turned around to go upstairs.

When he stepped inside the study, Daniel and Xavier were already sitting on the couch waiting for him.

"This better be quick, Uncle Daniel." Luke already knew what they wanted, even when they had not said a word.

Seeing how calm and unfazed Luke was, Xavier threw a punch at Luke's face.

"Luke, you b*stard! I've already given you Bianca. What else do you want from me?"

Xavier might be an experienced brawler, but Luke was not a worse fighter than him.

He easily dodged the punch and countered with one of his own on Xavier's stomach. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Ugh!" Xavier grunted.

Luke's two-year stint on the Island of Despair was not wasted.

Daniel instantly stood up and yelled, "What are you doing, Xavier?"

Luke had a lot of dirt on them. Daniel was forced to humble himself even though he was reluctant.

Xavier, on the other hand, was rash.

Luke's expression sank. "She was mine in the first place, Xavier. I'm the one who has three children with her. You should know why you managed to get your marriage license. The police can't do anything to you, but that doesn't mean I can't."

Those words of warning stung in Xavier's ear.

Xavier clenched his fists tightly. The veins on his forehead bulged.

Daniel held him down. "Yes, you're right, Luke. Let's not mention the past.

Please have a seat. Would you like some tea?"

Luke sat on the single couch, though he was not interested in the tea that Daniel offered him.

"Please be quick. My wife is waiting for me downstairs," Luke said.

Daniel decided to be direct, seeing that Luke repeated the same thing. "I've seen the document you gave me, Luke. I have to thank you for not handing it to the police, whether it's because Xavier is your cousin, or if you have some other motive."

Luke looked at the father and son and waited for them to continue.

Meanwhile, Daniel was beginning to feel anxious when he saw that Luke had no intention to speak.

The impetuous Xavier could not take it anymore and asked, "What do you want, Luke?" "You're still fantasizing about my wife, and I don't like that. If you leave the country, the document will never fall into the hands of the police," Luke told them his demands.

Xavier only had the option to leave because he was Luke’s cousin.

Otherwise, he would have already been long dead.

"You're going too far!" Xavier roared angrily.

Leaving the country would be like going into exile. He might be Daniel's only son in the household, but he knew that his father was a playboy, and he might have other illegitimate children waiting to replace Xavier.

Daniel also did not want Xavier to leave. After all, he was almost at the age of retirement, and he had to hand over the reins of the company to Xavier soon.

"We can talk about this, Luke. You don't have to force him to leave the country, right? You know that I only have one son."
