Chapter 524 Bianca Is My Weakness!
When Leia looked at Luke's icy gaze and heard the whispers among the guests, she realized that the man was not
joking!
No one would make such a tasteless joke at their own engagement ceremony.
Leia's face turned pale at an instant.
She did not expect that sudden turn of events at all.
She was expecting bliss, but it turned out to be ridicule.
All her hope had turned into despair!
She stiffly lifted her dress, walked in front of Luke, and begged him softly," Luke, we've never quarreled or fought. If
there's a problem, treat it as all my fault. If you don't like any aspect of me. I'll change for you, alright? Don't call off
the engagement. After we're engaged, you can do anything you want. Please... there are so many guests and
media reporters here. I don't know what they'd say. Can't you spare some dignity for me and my family?"
Leia had a pitiful expression as she stared at Luke. Tears were almost falling from her eyes.
She admitted that she loved the man in an undignified way.
However, she still clung to the hope that the man would change his mind and continue with the engagement.
Luke's handsome face was frigid. He leaned close to Leia's ear. To others, he was whispering sweet nothings to her.
Meanwhile, Leia could hear every cruel word. "Do you think that I really want to marry you, Ms. Norman? If you
hadn't threatened me with the CD, would I have bothered to put up this act? To tell you the truth, every minute and
every second spent with you was agony. My only wife shall be Bianca Rayne. You're not worthy of my time!"
Bianca felt a chill from the top of her head to the tips of her toes. 3

Luke remained impassive. The slight mockery on his lips told everything
Leia needed to know. 1
Leia seemed to guess what the man was trying to say. She continued, "You know everything. You know that I've
threatened Bianca to leave A City with the CD. You don't want to hurt her, so you pretended to be my boyfriend and
even promised to marry me. Everything that you have done leads up to your revenge today. You want to humiliate
me in front of everyone, right?" i
Luke’s gaze was profoundly dark, like a frozen pond. When he looked at Leia, she could feel chills coursing down her
spine.
"You are very smart, Ms. Norman. You know that Bianca is my weakness, and that's why you threaten her with the
CD. She loves me deeply, and she would not burden me with troubles, but you've miscalculated, and I ended up
knowing the truth. Of course, with your current status, you can do anything you want in A City, but you shouldn't
have tried to meddle in Bianca's relationship with me, and you shouldn't have used such underhanded tactics to
make me marry you."
His words froze Leia's blood. Her face was pale, and her body was shaking.
He knew everything. 1
She had been so stupid. She thought that the scant affection that he showed her was genuine, but everything was a
sham!
Other than despair and agony, Leia felt the anger of humiliation!
The socialite circle in A City was not very big, and the Normans and Crawfords were renowned families. The media
had considered Luke Crawford and Leia Norman to be a match made in heaven.
Leia did not know how to handle the big "surprise" Luke had given her.
She had humbled herself because of love, and what she got in return was humiliation and betrayal!
The hall was deathly silent.
Everyone's gazes fell upon the couple on the stage. Some were shocked, some were mocking, some were
sympathetic, and some were amused...
Jack abruptly stood up from his seat and quickly walked in front of the stage.
He glared at Luke and spoke harshly, "If you have no feelings for Leia, you should have said that earlier, and we can
cancel the engagement in private. What's the meaning of you announcing your intentions at the ceremony? Do you
think that you can bully my daughter, or do you think that you can afford to cross the Norman family?"
It was rare that Provincial Committee Secretary Norman lost his temper in public. After all, he was known for being
friendly and approachable.
Looking at how angry his speech and demeanor were, they know that he had truly lost his temper. 1
The cameras pointed toward his face.
At the same time, the reporters wondered if T Corporation would suffer because their CEO had offended the
Normans in public.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Norman, I've thought long and hard before reaching this painful decision, but I have to honestly say
that I'm not a match for your daughter. I will compensate for your losses, but I cannot allow this mistake to
continue." Luke might sound apologetic, but his expression was one of obvious relief.
Jack became angrier. He grabbed Leia's elbow and announced to the media, "The engagement is canceled today
because my Leia can't be bothered to marry Mr. Crawford. My daughter deserves a better man! I'd like to see how

you will get another wife, Luke Crawford!" 1
Jack was quite impressed with the talented young man, but Luke had disappointed him instead. Not only had he
humiliated Leia in public, but he had given such a half-hearted apology!
Jack was extremely disappointed!
"Let's go, my wife. We're no match for the Crawford family's exquisite tastes! This shall be the end of the
relationship between the Norman and the Crawford families!" Old Mr. Norman stood up angrily from his seat,
dusted his sleeves, and prepared to leave with his wife.
"Wait, please..." Old Master Crawford wanted to stop them from leaving.
However, Old Mr. Norman shoved him away.
Seeing that the Normans were about to leave, Old Master Crawford was overcome by anger. He clutched his chest,
trembled, and passed out on the spot.
He did not hear the people around him calling his name...
Leia was dragged away by his father. What she heard was the discussions among the guests.
"Too bad. That's the end of the union between the Crawfords and the Normans." "I wonder why Mr. Crawford is so
picky. Ms. Norman is beautiful, and she has a good upbringing." "That might be true, but no matter how qualified
Ms. Norman might be, it's true that Mr. Crawford doesn't love her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have called off the
engagement in public. What a pity. Tsk tsk..."
Leia's face became paler when she heard those comments. She found it hard to breathe.
She glared at Luke coldly. 1
Hatred surfaced in her eyes as she looked at that well-built body.
'If you're so merciless, Luke Crawford, then don't blame me for returning the favor. I'll ruin your reputation!'
