Chapter 241 Daddy Is Bringing Mommy Home
Leia felt a lot better after she replied to her mother's message. She opened the trailer door and called out gently, "Come over here for a bit, Marie."
Her tone of voice sounded like a noble beckoning for their servant or an owner calling for their pet.
Marie was not happy when she heard that, though she faked a smile and jogged over obediently. "Do you need me for anything?" 'Of course I need you for something!' Leia thought as she looked at Marie with disdain.
'Can't you be a little smarter as an assistant?' "Why don't you ever address me whenever I talk to you?” Leia said warmly.
The surroundings might be dark, but Leia's impeccable features had seemed to brighten the night a little.
Members of the production crew passed by while carrying props.
"It's like this. You're six years younger than me, and I'm not sure how I should address you," Marie said awkwardly.
"Ms. Leia" sounded too formal.
She did not feel close enough to Leia to call her by only her name. After all, she was only a lowly assistant.
Marie could never forget the humiliation she suffered when Leia stepped on her fingers.
Leia smiled genially when she heard Marie's words. "You can just call me Leia."
Some of the crew members overheard what Leia said.
"You're too kind, Leia!" "I shouldn't have taken my degree in photography! It's much better to be Leia's assistant!"
As they gossiped, they praised Leia's generosity and friendliness.
Leia smiled, then went back into her trailer to change.
While Marie applied some makeup remover to a cotton pad, she thought to herself, 'Those people in the production crew call her 'Leia' because they're her seniors. If I call her 'Leia,' she might not actually like it.'
With that thought, Marie decided that she should find a more influential benefactor and get away from Leia as soon as possible.
She would scale greater heights and be a hundred times more glamorous than Leia Norman!
On the drive back to the city center.
The RV drove into the downtown area. Leia was not in the mood to look at the bustle of the city outside but instead kept on calling Xavier's number.
Eventually, at about seven o'clock, Xavier answered the call.
Leia sat up straight and furrowed her brows. "Why didn't you answer the call sooner?"
Xavier had only gotten out of the police station and regained the use of his phone. "Why are you looking for me?"
Leia answered, "I have something to ask you. You're the only one I trust who can give me advice. If you don't have anything else, let's meet up."
Xavier continued to walk out of the police station while he lit a cigarette. ’ Alright, you decide on a place.’
Having dinner with a famous celebrity should be a secretive affair. Even so, their last encounter was caught on camera and went in the news anyway.
However, if not for that, Xavier would not have the opportunity to show everyone in the country that he had a legal marriage certificate with Bianca Rayne!
Xavier took a drag of his cigarette and puffed out a cloud of light blue smoke. His lips curled upward into a smug grin when he thought of that.
Xavier was about to get into his car when Mrs. Gideon rushed up to him from behind and stepped into his way.
"You can't frame my daughter, Xavier Tanner!" Her voice was hoarse from screaming.
A lawyer followed behind Mrs. Gideon.
The forty-year-old woman pounced on Xavier and grabbed his collar, though she was quickly shoved away.
"Have you lost your mind? Do you want to accompany your daughter in jail? ’ Xavier looked at Mrs. Gideon, who had fallen onto the ground, with a savage gaze.
The lawyer quickly went over and helped Mrs. Gideon to her feet.
"You're a wicked person, Xavier Tanner!" Mrs. Gideon was laughing out of anger. "You said that my daughter was the one who orchestrated her colleague's grandfather's abduction? Can you say that you're not involved? I think that you're the mastermind!"
Xavier remained calm. "Mrs. Gideon, I'm good friends with Yvonne, and you are acquaintances with my parents. If I’ve done anything wrong, I will admit to it instead of framing it on a nineteen-year-old girl. I can say that I'm not involved in the abduction at all."
Mrs. Gideon laughed as though she had heard a very funny joke. "You said that you're not involved? One day, the truth will prevail!"
Xavier frowned and continued to speak, "Yvonne knows that I love Bianca, my current wife, and that was why she gave me the suggestion to abduct Bianca's grandfather and force her into a marriage. I thought that Yvonne is too young to understand that a relationship born out of compulsion will not last long. If I can win my wife's heart by normal means, why would I need to do that immoral deed? I’ve also advised Yvonne not to do anything rash, but she didn't seem to pay any heed."
The lawyer remained silent.
However, Mrs. Gideon began to waver. On one hand, she thought that even her daughter might be rash, she would not be so stupid to singlehandedly abduct the grandfather of her rival in love.
On the other hand, Xavier seemed too composed, as though he really did nothing wrong.
"Let's go, Mrs. Gideon," the lawyer urged.
Mrs. Gideon left with the lawyer in a daze. She was still confused.
Xavier knew that if the police had arrested Yvonne and were beginning to investigate the case, "someone" must have been pulling the strings.
Fortunately, all the evidence pointed to Yvonne!
However, Xavier was angry at the fact that Luke was helping his wife.
Luke and the children were at the hospital to bring Mommy home. Jason opened the car door.
Lanie and Rainie were very well-behaved.
"Careful, Rainie..." Rainie quickly bent down and grabbed Rainie's leg to help her hop into the car. 2
Lanie was a lot more nimble. He took a step into the car and hopped inside like a gallant price. 1
Luke stood behind Bianca. His hand, adorned by an expensive luxury wristwatch, held Bianca's waist and helped her get into the car.
Jason closed the car door after all four of them had gone inside.
Even though Bianca had such a winding history with the boss, Jason felt that she was a lucky person for having someone to support her in her toughest times.
