Chapter 872 She Had To Think Of Another Way Out
Leia was not bothered that there was a faint pain coming from her stomach.
In the mirror, her face was pale as a ghost but there was a cruel smile on her face.
However, her stomach cramped for only a while before Leia could no longer stand the pain.
She lay on her bed, her expression looking dull and absent. Her eyes suddenly widened and she began to scan
through her room.
Leia's room was well designed. The main colors were pink and white, while her curtains and sofas were all high-end
imports. The colors and style were the careful work of well-known designers. It had a dreamy look and feel.
When she was a child in the orphanage, she had been forced to loot for food. She had always imagined becoming a
princess and getting adopted by well-meaning people in expensive clothes so that she could live in a gorgeous
house.
After a long wait, she finally saw hope when Mr. and Mrs. Norman visited the orphanage. She plotted to replace
Scarlett Quincy and wiggled herself into the Norman family.
Her happy life lasted for nearly two decades, and she thought that she would enjoy such a life till the very end.
However, when Bianca, the real daughter of the Norman family appeared, her dream of living as the top ten
percent was shattered...
Leia became furious when she thought of how Jack Norman had evidence of her plotting against Bianca as well as
her fingerprints.
What Jack said about treating her as his daughter was bullsh*t. He was a hypocrite! For the safety of his biological
daughter, he chose to turn his back against her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeia rummaged through his study and did not find the evidence he had hidden. She was ill at ease!
She rubbed her abdomen and felt her scalp tingling when she thought of how she was pregnant with Wayne Blatt's
child. His cold and serpent-like eyes, as well as his endless ways of abusing her...
After lying in bed for nearly half an hour, Leia finally thought of a way out.
She immediately called Charmaine Welsh...
In a dim private room.
The room was extremely luxurious.
Leia sat on the soft sofa and drank sweet hot black tea. The gloom in her heart was not as unbearable now.
Leia had never been a fan of places like this. In the past, she only went to clubs and pubs with her friends because
she had to.
To maintain her public image, she had excused herself from such social occasions.
This time, it was Charmaine who told her about this place.
Charmaine was a social butterfly and knew people from various backgrounds.
When Cree Summer came in, Leia was shocked and stared at him nervously.
Cree’s looks were average, but he was a cut above the crowd due to his burly and sturdy size. He was covered with
all sorts of tattoos from top to toe. He wore multiple thick gold necklaces around his neck. When he smiled, his
mouth slanted to one side. It was obvious that he was involved with the Mafia.
"Hello, I’m Cree, the owner of this nightclub. Charmaine told you to come here?" Cree put on a fake kind smile that
made chills run down Leia's spine.
"Hello...'' Although Leia had met various Mafia bosses when she was in the entertainment industry, she had always
been with her team. She was at a loss facing this man alone.
Cree stared straight at Leia. His gaze was burning hot and it seemed like he wanted nothing more but to strip her
naked. "When did you and Charmaine meet? Why have I never seen you before? If I knew you were so beautiful, I
would’ve wanted to meet you sooner."
Leia avoided his stare in disgust and tried to maintain her demeanor. "I met Charmaine a long time ago. Charmaine
said that you have what I need, but you won’t sell it to me if you don't meet me face to face, so I just came over to
have a look. I want to know... how effective is the medicine? As long as it works, I’m willing to pay."
Cree poured a glass of beer for Leia and himself. He continued staring at her and swallowed his saliva as he said,
"There's no problem with my goods. I'm sure that you'll be satisfied."
Leia was still a little concerned and asked, "What's your relationship with Charmaine?"
Cree laughed ambiguously and said flirtatiously, "What's our relationship?
We're lovers... Come on, Leia, let's have a drink."
After he said that, he forcibly stuffed the wine glass into Leia's hand. He grabbed her hand and refused to let go.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Leia was irked and wanted to break free, but Cree grabbed her waist.
"You're so beautiful, much better than that sl*t Charmaine."
Cree's greasy and fat hands squeezed Leia's mouth open as he forcibly poured the glass of wine down her throat. '
Leia, I have a rule when doing business. The other party has to drink a glass from me. Otherwise, I don't care how
much you intend to pay me."
Leia had a bad feeling. She wanted to get up and rush out in a panic, but Cree dragged her back and pressed her
onto the sofa.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe lay passively under him. She was nervous and scared, but Cree continued to pour a large glass of beer down
her throat.
She was not sure what was in the beer, but not long after Leia drank it, she felt her body heating up.
Her mind was empty, her eyes were gradually turning red, and she soon began to frantically tear her clothes. She
made a move on Cree.
Their naked bodies were entangled on the sofa...
T Corporation.
The sky gradually dimmed, and people in the company had left.
However, Bianca's office was still brightly lit.
She sat on the leather sofa and frowned as she went through the weekly financial statements, as well as the recent
orders. She finally let out a sigh.
The company had been profitable every year since it started, but it seemed that it was trending toward a loss for
the current quarter.
From what she knew, September to November was not the off-season, but the number of orders had declined
significantly. There were not many new orders and orders were mainly coming from their loyal customers.
She checked the company's intranet again.
There was a small problem with the previous partnership with Company X. The first two payments were received,
but the third remittance was delayed.
Their company's finance department had reminded the other party several times, but the other party had been
delaying it on the grounds of the absence of their chairman. They would also blame it on their company's recent
financial situation.
Company X was not the sole company that owed them money. There were several other companies that they were
working with which were doing the same.
Bianca frowned and crossed out her original to-do list. It would not work if they continued on the same path. She
had to think of another way out...
