Chapter 859
Chapter 859 Have You Never TreatedAs Your Daughter?
Leia stepped out of the hospital entrance and hurried over to the parking lot. She did not want to be late.
After all, her father had summoned her back home, and she dared not disobey him.
She had just fastened her seatbelt when she realized that the pregnancy test report was missing.
She must have accidentally dropped it when she bumped into that young woman earlier!
Leia's head spun. She wanted to go back up to collect it, but there were so many people in the hospital, and someone might have already taken it. Moreover, if Xavier had picked it up, he must have already seen it.
There were so many people with the snin the world. Even if Xavier had seen it, he might not guess that it was her.
Even if Xavier guessed that it was indeed her, all she had to do was not admit it.
Leia breathed a sigh of relief after thinking of that. She started the car and left the hospital.
She tuned in to a rastation, hoping to lighten the mood by listening to smusic.
There was a news flash after a song. "Good afternoon, fellow listeners. We have just received news that the Wayne family is currently undergoing investigations. Victor Blatt, the eldest son of the Blatts, has been taken into custody for allegedly being involved in several corrupt dealings that involved family members. At the stime, Blatt Corporation is also suspected to have ties with the criminal underworld. Vincent Blatt, the second son of the Blatts and the CEO of Blatt Corporation, has been suspended from his position and is being investigated. Wayne Blatt, the third son, is currently wanted

Leia was shocked. She did not expect that the influential family would be hit by multiple scandals at once.
'Looks like they're about to fall from grace. They're not that powerful after all!' She thought contemptuously.
At the stime, she wondered who might have the power to bring down the three Blatt brothers.
Could it be Luke Crawford?
If it were really him, then the man was more ruthless and powerful than she expected. He was quite thorough in dealing with the entire family if he wanted to get back at Wayne for attempting to kill him.
Leia thought of the twhen she wanted to kill Bianca with poisonous snakes. Luke had abducted her and had given her a taste of her own medicine. He had placed dozens of poisonous snakes on her body and tortured her for the entire night. She almost lost her mind from that ordeal.
The man might look gentlemanly and noble, but Leia knew better than anyone else that he was not a gentleman at all. His gentle looks were nothing more than a disguise!
She shuddered uncontrollably when she thought of what Luke could do, and she broke out in a cold sweat despite the cooling air-conditioning.
She had a hand on the steering wheel, while the other was on her lower abdomen.
Whatever happened to the Blatts was none of her business. She never liked them anyway.
However, she was carrying the scion of the Blatts in her womb. She could not wait for it to be gone!
Leia gave a call to her mother right before she arrived home.
"Are you at hnow, Mom? You're not? Can you chsoon?
Grandpa and Grandma gavea lot of local produce, including the morel mushrooms that you've been craving for a long time. I'll make mushroom soup when I get home. Please cback soon..."
After she ended the call, Leia's expression abruptly changed, as though the young woman who had spoken coyly through the phone was a totally different person.
She knew that she could not face her father alone. He was too authoritative and discerning.
She believed that her mother would be able to save her.
Back at the Norman residence, Leia braced herself before opening the door to her father's study.
"Dad," She greeted her father.
Before she could ask what was going on, her face was battered by a thick stack of documents!
"What's going on, Dad? Why are you so angry? Did I do something wrong?" Leia took a panicked step backward and discreetly pinched her arm hard so that tears started to fall. She looked at her father with innocent eyes.
Jack glared at his adoptive daughter coldly, not influenced by her tears." Look at what you have done, you wretched girl! I thought that you were kind -hearted despite being capricious, but I didn't expect that you'd be hiding this ugly side of yours from us!"
His entire body was shaking from anger. He would have kicked her if not that she was a girl!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeia clenched her fists tightly. She was breaking out in cold sweat, but she tried to remain calm. "What are you saying, Dad? I don't understand."
Jack slammed his fist on the table and nearly broke it. "Are you still trying to deny all the things that you've done? I might be able to forgive you for your poor character, but you even tried to harm your elder sister! Why did we raise an immoral ingrate like you?"
Leia's lips were pale as she tried to deny what she had done. "No, I haven't harmed Bianca. I can swear to God, Dad. I..." "Take a look at the evidence at your feet before saying another word!
Hmph!"
Leia frantically picked up the documents that were thrown at her earlier.
She nearly fainted when she saw the evidence of all the things she did to harm Bianca!
It started with her hiring of a private detective to investigate Bianca's past. After that, she injected the drug into the Persian cat at Blue Honors to injure Bianca. Then, she threatened Dr. Hoover to falsify the DNA test report which resulted in Julie Anderson being brought back to the Norman household. Also, she had conspired with criminals in an attempt to kill Bianca with venomous snakes...
Tm finished.
Tm finished!'
Leia's entire body was stiff. The evidence that was presented to her threatened to swallow her whole.
She knew that she could not lose her cool. If she did, then there would be no chance to redeem herself.
Instantly, tears fell from Leia's face like rain. "Where did you get all this, Dad? Would you rather believe these baseless accusations than believe your daughter? Do I not deserve your trust? All I want to ask
is... who am I to you? Have you never treatedas your daughter?"
