Chapter 71
Chapter 71 Is Bianca Worth Only Half A Million?
They walked hand in hand through the office area, down the elevator, and out of the building. Luke opened the door for her. After she went inside, he turned around, frowned, and lit a cigarette.
The cool night breeze blew against the man’s delicate facial features, but the heat from his body persisted.
From the first time he met her, his hormones were already raging. He remembered glancing at the basketball court and noticing her small face that aroused a protective desire within him. Not only was her body small, but she was underdeveloped and even seemed malnourished.
However, in the days to come, he realized that the only girl who kept flashing in his mind was the little girl who was underdeveloped in the junior high school next door. He did not take any interest in the well-developed girls in high school that were right in front of him.
Small towns were much more open-minded about puppy love than in big cities. The teacher would supervise and manage the teenage crushes, but not as strictly as the schools in A City. He was impulsive and thought about chasing her.
One Friday evening, Bianca was walking back home from school when he followed her.
The girl in front of him was always in her head and did not notice the high school boy behind her. When he had nearly followed her back to her house, he heard a group of people gossiping.
’What was the old man Kevin thinking? He said that when Teddy grows up, he'll marry off Bea to our Teddy. Tsk. Even if our Teddy can’t find a wife to marry, well never even think of letting that Rayne girl marry into our family...

"Bea doesn't look like her dad, so she probably took after her mom. If she took after her mom, I'm sure she took after her mom in every aspect!"
"Right? She'll probably go crazy when she grows up. Who would marry a crazy woman? What if she runs away with a rich man within two years of their marriage? Crying won't help you then!"
"Also, my son came home from school the day before yesterday and told me that Bea Rayne is only in the third year of junior high but is already a little vixen. Apparently, she baited a rich male classmate to buy her food and drinks!’
It was on that day that Luke learned why Bianca usually did not laugh.
The neighbors' comments were not hidden from any passersby. He heard their words clearly, and Bianca must have heard them often too.
Therefore, even though he wanted to chase her, he thought about how it would turn out if he really did so. After he heard about the gossip on the street, he decided to forget about it.
It was not because he was like those people who disliked her over the possibility of her growing up to be like her vixen of a mother, or if she would be immature and wild.
He just did not want to worsen her image in her neighbors' eyes by being with her.
Since she was still a girl, she should be pure and not be messed with.
His family background was complicated. They had enough money, power, and he had already finished his college courses. He even knew the topics like the back of his hand. He repeated a few grades so that he could stay in that traditional and seemingly unfriendly town for a little while. He might not be afraid of any rumors, but she probably could not handle it.
Bea from the junior high school next door thought lowly of herself and never raised her head when she walked. Even though the teachers and even the principal noticed his wandering eyes on Bianca, she herself had never noticed it.
Later on, he learned that her father had bought a second-hand house in A City and remarried someone else. He did not know why the father did not take his biological daughter to live with him. Anyway, he was the outsider, so it did not matter what he thought. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
He wanted to take her away very much. There was a desire deeply buried in his heart that took root every day. However, reality told him that it was impossible. He wanted to take her away, but first, he would have to overcome the obstruction which was both of his parents.
When two people who were not yet independent lived together, the world would consider them to be eloping immaturely.
She would be just like her mother, described by her neighbors as a tramp who ran away with a rich man.
Luke dismissed the idea of taking her away and could only wait to integrate into society as soon as possible. He needed to work hard and be a solid shoulder that she could lean on.
The premise was that she also had to grow up as soon as possible.
She was five years younger than him. Back then, the days he spent waiting for her passed like years, i
At the age of 19, he often went to a friend's house to drink and inevitably came across porn. When he first learned about the love between a man and a woman, every time he closed his eyes, sinful thoughts of the weak little girl flooded his mind...
The feeling of wanting to take her as his own got stronger.
Until the accident that happened at the end of that year, he completely lost his self-awareness to lead. His grandfather arranged for him to quit school and to disappear quietly.
In the next few years, he gradually became independent. The first thing he did was to send someone to take care of her without letting her know about it.
It was finally the day he waited for Bianca to become an adult.
The girl who finished high school moved to A City and lived with her father and stepmother. She was still unhappy, but at least she was much happier than she was in the small town.
Kevin treated her well, and her classmates in A City High School were also very friendly to her.
One day, the person he sent to watch Bianca returned to T Corporation's top office to report to him that there was a boy in college who was taking good care of Bianca.
Moreover, Bianca would also go to the boy’s house to play on the weekends.
The reason was that the boy’s younger sister and Bianca were classmates.
Before Luke found out who the boy was and what he wanted from Bianca, he found out that Kevin had liver cancer the next day.
After school that day, Bianca had her head down when she walked out of the school. Tears rolled down from her cheeks, but she did not make a sound when she cried.
Luke waited at the school gate on the same day. As soon as his meeting ended, he left straight away and parked his black Bentley MPV at the school gate. She passed by without noticing the mature familiar-looking guy who was trying to hand her a tissue to wipe her tears. 1
Her mind was occupied by her father's liver cancer. All she wanted to do was just get to the hospital as soon as possible.
When she finally noticed Luke, all she said was a thank you without even taking a look at him. She then left quickly.
Kevin had liver cancer, and the prerequisite for getting a liver transplant was to have sufficient funds. Somehow, a crazed sicko introduced a 50- year-old man to Bianca. 1
If she promised to be the old man’s little wife and have a child with him, he would give her half a million.
The ugliest expression Luke had ever made was the moment when he heard that Bianca was only worth half a million.
The priceless woman in his mind was now sold at such a price?
Fortunately, she belonged to him now.
She finally belonged to him out in the open.
If she had not been too tight and could not contain his swollenness, he would have buried and embedded himself in her body, possessing her completely and sending the love from his soul into every cell of her body. "What are you thinking about?" Luke asked her as he drove away from the company building and toward the hotel.
Bianca shook her head.
She was no stranger to the hotel suite that Luke exclusively got for her. The impression of the space strongly implied that it was the man's private place.
After she turned on the laptop, she started her work.
However, she actually wanted to either finish the work in the office or finish it at home. It was just that Luke frowned and strongly demanded that she accompanied him a little longer after she got off work.
After she turned on her notebook, she looked for a ruler in her bag. At that moment, the man who just finished his cigarette on the balcony walked back and picked her up. He put her down on the bed, tried to pry open her dress, and said, "Take it off. Let me see how badly I hurt you." 2
Luke remembered grunting at a spot a few times even though it did not fit. He was worried that he had injured that spot of hers.
