Chapter 736 Bianca Wondered If She Was Seeing Things

Leia's gaze discomfited Bianca, but she did not think too much of it.

After all, Leia had never seen eye to eye with her, especially after she had reunited with her birth mother.

She had taught Leia a lesson several times, which kept her attitude in check.

However, she wondered if she was seeing things. She thought that Leia had lost a lot of weight recently, and her beautiful hair that used to be her pride had beca lot thinner. Her animated gaze was sunken, hollow, and unfocused, as though she was a migratory bird that had lost her way.

Leia flashed an unnerving grin when she saw Bianca.

Bianca shuddered and turned her head away. She looked at the black jar next to Queenie.

She could catch a whiff of something fragrant emanating from the jar. 'Are you pickling something, Mom? It smells quite good." "Your dad loves pickles, and so I'm pickling sradishes and gherkins for him. I'll give you and Luke swhen it's ready. Do you like pickles too, Tommy?" Queenie said lovingly.

Tommy hugged Queenie's neck and said adorably, "I love anything you make, Grandma!" "You precocious cutie!”

Queenie was delighted by Tommy's words. She gave her grandson a few kisses.

However, she frowned when she noticed the presents next to Bianca's feet. "Bea, I've told you that you don't need to bring anything whenever you come. Why don’t you ever listen? We don't need anything. All we hope is that you cback often with the kids."

Bianca picked up the presents and smiled gently. "I know that you and Dad aren't short of anything, Mom, but it's not the swhen your daughter gives you presents, isn't it? Also, I always feel guilty whenever I think that I used to be busy with work and don't have the tto accompany the two of you..." "Have you always been this stubborn, my child?" Queenie shook her head helplessly and went inside the house with Tommy in her arms.

Bianca followed behind, carrying the presents.

In the living room, Tommy tugged his grandmother's arm and said precociously, "I'm already a big boy now, Grandma. You should putdown because you might be tired after carrying me. I can sit on the couch." "Alright, alright, whatever you say, my baby." Queenie smiled indulgently and placed Tommy on the couch. "I'll go to the bedroom and bring you a present. Wait forfor a while." "Okay!"

Right after Queenie went away, the doorbell rang. The caretaker went to open the door and saw two police officers, one male and one female, standing outside.

"Is this the residence of Leia Norman?" The female police officer asked.

The caretaker was flustered, though she nodded. "Yes, this is the Norman residence. Do you have any business with Ms. Leia?"

The male police officer flashed his badge and said, "We're from the A City Headquarters. We've received an anonymous tip that Ms. Leia Norman is involved in illegal drug usage and possession, and we would like to bring her back for an investigation."

The caretaker was confused and shocked. "What did you say? Ms. Leia is involved in drug possession? How... how is that possible?"

Bianca cout of the house. "Can I help you, officers?"

The two police officers exchanged glances with each other, and the male police officer continued, "Is Ms. Leia Norman hnow? We received an anonymous tip last night that she is involved in illegal drug usage and possession. Preliminary investigation has shown that the culprit matches most of Ms. Norman's characteristics, and our superiors have ordered us to bring her back for the investigation."

Bianca was shocked. Leia was involved in drug possession?

She remembered Leia's unfocused gaze and sinister demeanor and guessed that it might be true.

Queenie cout of the bedroom and handed a limited edition puzzle to Tommy.

She noticed the police officers in the front yard and went out of the house." What's wrong, Bea? Why are the police here? Are they here to look for Jack?

When Leia saw the police officers from the second floor, her mind instantly went black, her vision went blurry, and her entire body started shaking.

No!

She had hidden the fact that she was taking illegal drugs. No one could have found out that easily.

Moreover, she was the second daughter of the Norman family. Her father was the Provincial Committee Secretary, and her mother was a well-known businesswoman and philanthropist. They would not launch an investigation on her!

Even so, she dared not go downstairs.

She locked the door shut, then curled up in her blanket on her bed. Her body felt cold in the mid-July summer heat.

The police officer remained diplomatic when they saw Queenie cout of the house. "Mrs. Norman, we suspect that Ms. Leia Norman is involved in illegal drug use and possession. We want to bring her back to the police station for an investigation, and I hope that you will cooperate with us.'

Queenie could not believe what she heard. Her usually gentle voice becshrill. "Are... are you mistaken? Leia has always been a sensible girl. How could she be using drugs? I don’t believe that my daughter would do anything illegal!’

Bianca's heart wrenched when she saw how Queenie harbored Leia without any rational reason.

She looked at the two police officers, though her words were directed at

Queenie. "Let the police officers in, Mom. If Leia is innocent, then she won't have anything to worry about. I believe that Leia won't do anything stupid either."

Queenie beccalmer after hearing Bianca's words. "Please cin, officers. Leia hasn't been feeling well lately, and I think that she's still in bed. I'll go upstairs and get her," she said.

The two police officers nodded.

They had to be extra careful not to offend Mr. and Mrs. Jack Norman, even when they were on official business.

Queenie and Bianca went upstairs and knocked on Leia's door. They realized that the bedroom door was locked.

"Are you still in bed, Leia? Please open the door for your mother. I have something to ask you." Queenie tried to make her tone of voice as normal as possible, but there was no reaction from Leia inside the room.

Bianca smirked and said coldly, "Leia, there are police officers downstairs saying that you're involved in illegal drug use and possession. They're looking for you to help them in their investigation. I'm going to count to three. If you don't open the door, it means that you admit to it. One, two..."

The word "three" had just left Bianca's mouth when the door was flung open abruptly.

Leia, dressed in thin clothes, stood in front of them with a sinister expression on her face.
