Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Chapter 861 I’ll Kneel Here Until He’s Not Angry Anymore

Jack calmly kept away the stamp pad and the documents.

Queenie happened to step into the study as he locked the drawer.

Leia remained kneeling on the floor, staring vacantly at her father's actions. How she wished that she could spit fire

from her eyes to burn those documents into ashes!

Fortunately, her mother came back just in time. Her father would not give her a hard time.

Queenie's smiling face sank drastically when she saw her daughter kneeling on the floor while sobbing as though

she was punished.

She hurriedly rushed up to Leia and helped her up. "Why are you kneeling on the floor, Leia? The floor is so cold.

Get up!"

Leia stubbornly remained kneeling, her frail body swaying as though she was a dying flower, and shook her head at

her mother. "I should be punished for my mistakes, Mom. Dad is right to punish me."

When Queenie heard that, she dragged Leia from the floor and glared at her husband. "Why did you have to make

her kneel if she did something wrong? You could have disciplined her some other way. To think that you're the

Provincial Committee Secretary, too!"

Previously, Jack had sent Queenie out on some errands, knowing that she would protect their daughter.

He did not expect that she would return so soon.

He glared at Leia coldly, knowing that his daughter must have gotten Queenie to come back. He wondered why he

did not notice how scheming his daughter was.

No wonder she would dare to harm Bianca.

He took a deep breath. "I have my reasons for doing this, Queenie. You don't have to meddle in this. One must pay

the price for their mistakes. If you continue to harbor her, she will only make bigger and bigger mistakes. There's

only so much I can do to protect my daughter; I don't want to wait until it's too late!" It was the first time that Jack

had used such a stern tone on his wife.

Queenie was too protective of her daughter. She glared angrily at her husband. "Leia is a kind girl. She might have

made some mistakes, but she's already learned her lesson. Why must you harp on them? Don't you know that you'll

traumatize our child? Please keep your airs of a politician at work and not bring them home..."

She looked lovingly at her daughter. "Your dad is muddled, Leia. He thinks that he can order us around like we're his

subordinates. Don't mind him. Let's go!"

Leia glanced timidly at her father. Her legs were shaking. "Dad is still angry at me, Mom. I'll kneel here until he's not

angry anymore..."

Queenie poked Leia's head with a finger. "Silly girl, do you like kneeling that much? Don't you listen to your mother?

Why, Jack, are you prepared to let our daughter for an entire day?"

Jack saw that his wife was glaring at him resentfully. He knew that he was not going to discipline their daughter

anymore.

In any case, he had already achieved what he wanted.

He wagged his hands and said helplessly, "Alright, that's enough for today. I hope you remember your lesson today,

Leia. There are some things that you shouldn't do. Otherwise, I won't go easy on you. Understand?"

His tone of voice might be calm, but Leia could tell from his eyes that his warning was final.

Her face turned pale as she averted Jack's gaze. "I know, Dad... I'll remember the lesson you taught me today, and

I should know what to do in the future. I'll make sure that you and Mom are proud of me," she said timidly.

Queenie held Leia's icy hand and led her out of the study while complaining about how cruel Jack was.

Leia smiled dryly and showed a look of despair. "Mom, does Dad hate me? Does he only like Bianca? Is it because

Bianca is related to you by blood, but I'm only adopted from an orphanage?"

Queenie’s heart wrenched when she saw how dejected Leia was. "That can't be. We treat the two of you the same.

Moreover, you're already like a birth daughter after living with us for so many years. No one can come between us.

You are our precious daughter, and we won't abandon you ever."

Leia grabbed onto Queenie's hand as though she was drowning at sea grabbing onto a plank.

Her face seemed thinner, but her eyes were sparkling. "Do you mean what you say, Mom? What if I disappoint you

greatly one day? Won't you abandon me either? After all, I've tried to harm Bianca..."

Queenie had a feeling that Leia was not her usual self, but she did not think too much of it. Instead, she smiled and

said, "Of course. We should let bygones be bygones. Your sister won't hold a grudge against you either. She's

already forgiven you, and I’d forgive you too."

She thought that Leia was talking about the harmless pranks that Leia had done to Bianca, and not those that

threatened Bianca's life.

Leia smiled and gently hugged her mother. "You're so nice to me, Mom.

You're the only one who loves me in this family..."

While Queenie was not looking, Leia's gaze was venomous as she stared at the door of Jack's study.

'Heh, how dare he force me to confess to my crimes?

Til find a chance to steal the evidence, then I'll burn the entire room down!

What is he going to do to me then?'

It had already been two months since the incident of The Galleria. Finally, T Corporation and the police held a joint

press conference to reveal the truth behind the tragedy: The collapse was due to sabotage, and Kassy and Wayne

Blatt were the culprits.

T Corporation revealed the evidence that was collected in secret and Kassy's confession in prison.

While a minority of the media remained insistent that T Corporation was at fault, the solid evidence managed to

sway many media outlets to speak up for T Corporation.

T Corporation had promised to compensate the families of the victims a huge sum of money, despite being caught

in a difficult financial situation following the bad press. The money was paid promptly, which caused another

sensation in the city.

Many media outlets and influencers apologized to T Corporation. Even those who had protested against the

company were embarrassed. Soon, the reputation of T Corporation was repaired...
