Chapter 911 Bianca, That Evil Woman, Shoved Riley
Luke's objective was for Xavier to stay away from Bianca. If Xavier did not want to leave the country, Luke had other options for him.
"Would you like him to spend some time inside then, Uncle Daniel?" His voice was cold, clearly not in the mood for negotiation.
"Please, no!" Daniel cried out in shock.
Xavier was indignant when he saw his father begging and groveling. He did not believe that Luke did not have any dirt. Luke got lucky in the corruption case; someone had taken the fall for him. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Perhaps he could find another one...
Luke folded his arms together. His diamond wedding ring shone brilliantly under the lamplight, which stung Xavier's eyes.
Daniel tugged Xavier's shirt sleeve in case his son acted rashly. "Xavier is almost going to be a father, Luke. After that girl gives birth to his child, he'll have to marry a daughter of the Lerches. Why would he harass your wife then?" "He can marry outside of the country." Luke stood up and headed toward the door.
If Xavier wanted to marry Melissa, he would not have impregnated the other girl. It was pathetic of Daniel to hope that the Tanners and the Lerches could be united by marriage.
Xavier clenched his fists and stood up when he saw that Luke was about to leave the room.
Daniel instantly held him down. "Stop it!" "Would you rather that I leave the country then?" Xavier's eyes were bloodshot. He was not going to suffer in another country.
Daniel had no other choice. He sighed when he saw Luke leave and close the door behind him. "What other choice do you have when he has dirt on you? Just do what he says for now. I'll enroll you in a college, and you can tell other people that you're furthering your studies." "I won't go." Xavier shoved his father away and left the room. He was not going to let Luke get his wish!
Luke went downstairs to the living room but did not see Bianca.
"Where is my wife?" He asked.
"I think I saw Mrs. Crawford go up the stairs earlier," the servant replied." Right. Madam invited Mrs. Crawford to the lounge for some tea."
Luke frowned. Why would Lacey invite Bianca for tea?
That was utterly ridiculous. He knew that everyone in the Tanner family hated Bianca to the bone.
Feeling worried about his wife, Luke turned around and headed upstairs.
Bianca was shocked by the stench of blood when she pushed the door to the lounge open.
Riley was sprawled in a pool of blood. She did not make a sound or movement. Evidently, she had already passed out.
Blood continued to flow, staining her white dress red. It was a shocking sight.
"Help!" Instinctively, Bianca turned around and yelled.
Lacey was already waiting in the room next door. When she heard Bianca’s voice, she rushed out of the room and shoved Bianca away. When she saw the unconscious Riley, she pointed at Bianca's face. "What did you do?"
Bianca was puzzled by the sudden accusation. She took a step back because the stench of blood was choking her.
"I didn't do anything. She was already like that when I opened the door," she said.
Bianca's cry for help attracted the attention of several people. Xavier rushed over and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Bianca was fine.
He was glad that she was not in danger.
"What are you doing, Mom?" Xavier held Lacey's hand. He was uneasy seeing Lacey pointing at Bianca's face.
Lacey grunted coldly when she saw that her son was still harboring Bianca.
"What did I do? I'd like to ask what that woman did!"
Luke came over, hugged Bianca in his arms, and glared at the mother and son. "Please tell me, Mrs. Tanner. What did my wife do?"
Considering that Riley was still unconscious, she was not in the mood to listen to them bicker. She tugged Luke's shirt sleeve and said, "Call the ambulance, Luke." "Are you hurt?" Xavier asked when he heard that.
Everyone felt awkward by his excessive concern toward Bianca.
Luke looked at Xavier unhappily. How dare that man covet Bianca in front of him?
Lacey shrieked, sounding a little disappointed. "That evil woman pushed Riley down, Xavier! Why are you so concerned about her? You're losing your child!"
Xavier glanced inside the lounge and noticed Riley lying in a puddle of blood. His child...
He quickly walked over and carried Riley in his arms.
"Call the ambulance." Xavier did not have much affection toward Riley. He kept her by his side because she looked like Bianca, and that she was bearing his child.
The surrounding servants came to their senses and called the ambulance.
Lacey grunted coldly. After the servant was done speaking to emergency services on the phone, she said, "Also, call the police!"
Bianca furrowed her brows.
Luke stood in front of her. "How dare you!"
His icy voice made Lacey shudder. However, she was determined to frame Bianca today. "Bianca harmed my grandchild. Why shouldn't I call the police?"
Bianca remained calm. She looked at Riley in Xavier's arms and said, "Why would I harm her?" "Because..." Lacey was at a loss for words. She could not possibly say that Bianca wanted to be together with Xavier.
No one would believe that.
"Your servant told me that you invited me for tea in the lounge. When I opened the door, I saw Ms. Riley lying in a pool of blood. I've never stepped into the lounge before. Why, Mrs. Tanner, do you really want to put me in jail that badly?"
Not only did Lacey want to put Bianca in jail, but she also wanted Bianca to die!
However, she could express that thought too openly. "Why would I invite you for tea? I'm already exhausted from the day's events. Do I look like I'm in the mood for tea?"
Bianca pointed at a servant. "She's the one who informed me."
Everyone turned to look at the servant. Luke did not say a word, but he already had a conclusion.
Lacey glared at the servant. "What's going on? Have I ever said that?"
The servant had been working in the Tanner household for several years, and she could tell what was going on. She shook her head and said, "You didn't say that, Madam. I was busy downstairs, and I didn't see you earlier." "So why would my wife say that you asked her to go to the lounge?" Luke said coldly. He believed in Bianca's innocence.
Someone must have caused Riley's miscarriage and lured Bianca to the lounge. They wanted to kill two birds with one stone.
The servant shuddered when her eyes met with Luke's sinister gaze. She bit her lip and insisted, "I didn't say that."
Lacey was relieved that her servant was smart. "Alright then. We'll let the police investigate this. Call the police!"
