Chapter 83 Allison Finds Bianca And A Showdown
"The owner's my buddy, so I asked him for a spare key to your room..."
From what they heard, the unidentified man Jennifer was struggling from had a wife. His family lived in the small town.
Bianca's hand was grasping the sheet hard.
She felt sad for her dad.
Dad had struggled for more than 20 years to earn money to support Jennifer and her daughter.
In the end, however, Dad was in the hospital enduring the pain from his terminal illness while his wife Jennifer was cheating on him.
"You dirty man..."
"Don't you like me being nasty? Anyway, I'm better than that guy of yours who either has this cancer or that cancer... Say it... Don't you agree..."
"Ah... You're good. You're the best... Ahhh... Don't thrust so hard... You're going too deep...”
"Too deep? I think you can still take a couple more inches in you!" the man said crudely, "You're at such an old age now. Why are you still pretending... I can go deeper... You're not that tight either... And I'm the only one who can make you come...”
Bianca felt sick to her stomach!
"You know this person?” Luke asked softly after he heard the voice next door.
"She's... My stepmother.”
Bianca felt ashamed for her and her dad.
Luke pushed himself up from her. Her body was like a clothing rack with a function of automatically making the clothes on her look neat. Instantly, she looked well-dressed and sophisticated again. "Let's go.” He did not want her to continue listening to such disgusting things again.
Bianca got up while she was still out of breath and followed him out.
When she was at the hospital in the morning, her Dad told her that Jennifer might also go back to town.
"Go out and wait for me," Luke whispered to her. He patted her shoulder, then stood by himself at the front desk in the hotel, unmoving
She had no choice but to go out and sit on a bench under the moonlight.
He did not take the money returned by the hotel owner. Instead, he took out his wallet and put a pile of money on the marble countertop, saying, "It's all yours."
A room in the small town cost less than 20 bucks per night. If anyone came down to the small town, there were not many choices to stay in. At the few places available, most people would have to bargain for a long time before getting a room.
The hotel owner looked at the cash on the counter and hesitantly asked, "You are..."
Luke gave all the money he had just withdrawn from the ATM in the small town to the owner. He lit a cigarette between his fingers and took a sip as his black eyes narrowed. He said, "Go and do something for me."
Bianca waited for Luke for two minutes. When she realized something was amiss, she went in to look for him.
"I've checked out of the room." At that very moment, Luke strode out.
"Why did you check out?" It either meant that he was driving back to A City at night or... He was staying with her at Grandpa's house.
When Luke grabbed one of her small hands and felt that it was cold, he rubbed them as he said, "I was asking the hotel owner if there's a shop nearby that sells bedsheets and blankets.”
Grandpa's place only had one set of old blankets.
The one she was supposed to use for tonight was found in the cabinet after rummaging through it. Since it was very damp, she hung in the front yard in the afternoon to dry it.
Grandpa thought that her guest should stay in the hotel. Even though he was to be his grandson-in- law, they were not married yet. Furthermore, he did not look like he came from an ordinary family, so he probably would not be used to such poverty in a small town.
A City.
Allison drove out by herself, parked the car on the side of an empty street, and repeatedly called her son's phone.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable...”
She called Jason instead.
"Jason, this is Luke's mother. Do you know where Luke is?" Allison asked.
"I'm sorry, Madam. Mr. Crawford does not allow us to intervene with his private affairs.” Jason received a call from his boss five minutes ago, but the caller number displayed was Bianca's number. That meant the boss was with Bianca
As for where he went and when he would return, none of his subordinates had the right to ask. "Useless bunch of people!” Allison scolded and hung up.
Allison had one hand on the steering wheel and her phone in the other. After thinking about it angrily for a long time, Allison remembered her best friend's son Leon.
She quickly made the call.
"Leon? This is Allison, your Aunt Tanner.
"Remember the blind date that I set up for you last time? You called her before meeting her, right? Send her number to me as soon as you can.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for it."
Allison hung up after speaking.
Three minutes later, Leon sent Bianca's phone number over.
At the town
The two walked out of the shop after buying a thin blanket and bedsheets.
Luke asked about Bianca's stepmother.
Bianca felt there was nothing to conceal, so she told him everything from the beginning. "My dad probably means to say that Jennifer wants the demolition money from my grandpa’s house. It has actually racked up quite a sum.”
"If your dad doesn't allow it, then she won't be able to get it, right?” When Luke heard about Jennifer's story, he could imagine it clearly. Since Bianca lived under her stepmothers roof, she had to suffer through a lot.
Bianca looked at the road ahead, holding a pillow with cartoons on it. "Since my dad's in the hospital, getting angry will only make his condition worsen faster. Jennifer probably guessed that I wouldn't bother my dad about it. She also probably thinks that my grandfather and I are easy to bully and that we'll just let her flatten and squish us.”
At that moment, the two of them who had just walked out of the shop heard a commotion in the hotel next door.
"You shameless b*tch! How dare you seduce my man! I'll tear you apart!"
Along with the curse, there was the sound of fabric being lifted.
A very embarrassed woman came out of the entrance of the hotel. Bianca gasped in shock. It was Jennifer. “Did she get caught in bed by the man’s wife?"
When Luke glanced at Bianca's stunned little face, he smiled cheekily without letting Bianca see that he was doing so.
Bianca stared at the scene ahead.
Jennifer wore a long skirt and her hair was being pulled by a tough-looking woman. The woman cursed as she grabbed Jennifer's thigh through her skirt.
She twisted Jennifer's thigh so hard that she fell onto the ground and wailed.
As for the man who was with Jennifer, he stood at the entrance of the hotel as he held his clothes timidly while his legs trembled...
"B*tch! I'll kill you first, then I'll hack him to death when I get home! I've been wondering why a woman as old as you could be so low, squealing like a female swine in your house! I'm going to cut your tongue out!" The woman put her body on top of Jennifer as she hit her with both hands. The scene was so gnarly that other people had to look away.
Jennifer's face was swollen and flushed while the corners of her mouth were bleeding. Bianca pulled Luke and said, "Let's go home."
Luke took off his blazer and put it on her as he led her to the direction of the old house.
Right after she entered the house, Bianca was still thinking about Jennifer's retribution and heard her grandpa say, "Bea, your phone has been ringing for a long time."
Luke took the initiative to take the newly bought blanket and bedsheets into Bianca's room. He began to make the bed. He decided that he was going to sleep in her room tonight.
The six missed calls were all from a number that Bianca did not recognize.
When she picked her phone up, it rang again. She decided to answer it. "Hello?"
"Bianca Rayne? I'm Luke's mother!" Allison finally got through! She sounded very urgent and angry.
