Chapter 971 Crocodile Tears

"Yes. Shall we discuss it further in the cafe downstairs?" Hera could see that Maxine was interested.

Maxine nodded briefly, though her demeanor remained arrogant. "Don't play any tricks this time. If I find out that you're lying to me, I'll make sure that your death is horrible." "I wouldn't dare. Let's go." Hera smiled and reached out to hold Maxine's hand.

Maxine was a little suspicious when she saw how confident Hera seemed. She would like to see if Hera would pull off any tricks on her again.

The two women went into the elevator. Two burly men stood next to Maxine, in case Hera did something.

Hera kept quiet in case she offended them.

Meanwhile, Bianca helped Nina move to a private ward. After the caretaker arrived, she left the place with Luke.

Bianca held Luke's hand and waited in the elevator lobby.

She remembered what Nina told her. "Nina doesn't plan to tell Mr. Mallory." "Mm." Luke nodded and did not give his opinion.

Bianca lifted her head and looked at him while he happened to turn his head to look at her. His eyes were as profound as the ocean.

Luke was dressed in a black suit, and he was standing straight. Bianca could not help but to lean on his body while at the same time wondering if he knew something but chose to hide it from her.

"Nina is having it hard living all alone," Bianca sighed, though she was impressed by Nina's stubbornness. "I'd rather not go against her wishes, but I wouldn't want to see her being alone in the hospital. How about we tell Mr. Mallory?" "Mr. Mallory doesn't know how to take care of her. If she wants to hide it from him, then so be it. Moreover, he's not in the country now." Luke pinched her petite nose and rubbed her smooth and fair cheek.

He loved every inch of Bianca's body.

Bianca nodded in understanding and wondered why Percy did not bring Nina along with him.

Whenever he traveled out of A City, he would force Nina to go along with him. It seemed that what Nina told her earlier was true.

The elevator door slowly opened on their floor.

Bianca was about to hold Luke's hand and go in. She saw the two people in the elevator and was surprised.

Why would Hera be together with Maxine? The two of them seemed close too.

Bianca quickly composed herself.

Maxine's heart started beating faster when she saw Luke. She could not hide her embarrassment and quickly withdrew her hand from Hera's grip.

They had not seen each other for a while, but Luke remained handsome and noble as usual.

Hera also could not help but straighten her hair with her fingers. Luke was the one who had caused her to be arrested, but she thought that Bianca was the main culprit.

Maxine could not hold back her joy. She smiled and said, "Long time no see, cousin."

Hera also greeted him, "Long time no see, Luke."

Maxine turned her head and looked at Hera, dissatisfied.

Hera knew that Maxine liked Luke and said sheepishly, "Well, Luke was my upperclassman in high school, so I'm just greeting him."

Bianca could not help but smile. Luke was too attractive to other women, even though his demeanor was ice-cold.

The two women in the elevator seemed to have ignored her too.

Luke glanced coldly at the two women, then held Bianca's hand and took a step back.

Maxine glared anxiously at Bianca. "Weren't you waiting for the elevator, Luke?” "It's too crowded." Luke turned his eyes away and stared lovingly at Bianca.

Maxine was both humiliated and envious. The elevator could fit an entire gurney, and there were only four people inside. It was not crowded at all." Get out!" She roared at the two bodyguards.

"Huh?" The bodyguards were surprised by the sudden order.

"Get out and wait for the next one!" Maxine pressed the door open button to keep the elevator doors from closing.

The other elevator happened to stop on the same floor. Luke took Bianca's hand and went into that elevator.

There were more people inside that elevator, but Luke did not hesitate.

Maxine ran out of her elevator and wanted to squeeze into the other one, but there was no space for her.

"Please wait for the next one, Miss. You can't fit in here." A young nurse frowned when she saw Maxine. She gently shoved her away and pressed the button to close the door.

Maxine felt aggrieved as she saw the door close.

Luke would rather squeeze with those people than take the same elevator as her!

Bianca must have told him something that ruined his impression of her!

Hera felt quite happy when she saw that. Luke might have ignored her, but she was happy to see Maxine being humiliated that way.

She had already thought of a way to make more money from Maxine.

She was pressing the door open button. "Come in, Ms. Douglas."

Maxine entered the elevator with a gloomy expression on her face. Her bodyguards stood at the door, wondering if they should wait for the next one.

"Come on!" Maxine huffed. Her heart was burning with jealousy when she remembered how Luke hugged Bianca in his arms.

The bodyguards quickly went in.

Hera held Maxine's hand again and comforted her, "Don't be too sad." "Shut up!" Maxine annoyedly pulled her hand away, leaned on the wall, and glared at Hera coldly. "I don't need your crocodile tears." "I'm sincere." Hera noticed that her smugness had caused her words to lack emotion. "In any case, that woman will soon meet her end."

Maxine lifted her head and looked at the rapidly decreasing number. She wondered if Luke was going to the lobby or the basement parking lot. Would she meet him again?

Seeing no response from Maxine, Hera continued, "That Bianca Rayne doesn't have any looks or background. What's so good about her, other than acting all pitiful? Ms. Douglas, after we're done dealing with her, I'll teach you how to win Luke's heart. Luke likes women who pretend to be weak and pliable. You can try changing your demeanor."

Maxine finally had a response, but it was not what Hera expected. "What do you know? You don't have to do anything extra, but if you can't finish the job I ask you to do, you'll die a horrible death." "Don't worry. I have full confidence in that person, but he's not in A City for now. He'll only be back in about a month." Hera stepped out of the elevator on the first floor. "Let's go and look for a cafe with a private room. You'll definitely agree to my plan."
