Chapter 692
Chapter 692 Suddenly, Luke Put Down His Utensils
Moscow.
Bianca went to the site of Luke's incident.
She went although she knew that two years had passed and it was unlikely that there would be any evidence left.
Gordan took Bianca, Selena, Vivian, and a dozen bodyguards there.
The site of the incident was deep in the mountain forests.
The road was windy like a giant python, and they passed by rows of towering ancient trees that were full of vitality. However, because of how remote the site was, the surrounding environment looked secluded and gloomy.
"Sister-in-law, we're here." Gordan stopped the car somewhere with a wide view.
After Bianca and Selena got out of the car, they looked around.
Bianca's heart felt like it was filled with lead. She was so upset that she began to tremble uncontrollably.
'This was where Luke was attacked...' Just thinking about it overwhelmed her with sadness.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe area was low-lying and surrounded by mountains. Compared to other places where the trees were lush, the trees here were sparse. Bianca noticed that strees had been charred on their branches and trunks. There were even sbullet marks on the bark.
Gordan pointed to where Bianca stood and said with a heavy tone, "Sister- in-law, where you're standing now is where Luke's car exploded. Looking at the bullet marks on the tree bark, there must've been a fierce gunfight before the explosion... This place is low-lying and suitable for snipers to ambush. It has been two years since the crscene has been cleaned up by the government. After I heard about Luke's accident, I rushed here immediately. The investigation revealed that he most likely was targeted by a sniper. After being shot, the sniper blew up his car to hide the crime..."
When she heard what Gordan said, Bianca felt like she was stepping on a spreading fire instead of dried leaves.
Bianca held back the tears in her eyes as she thought of the bloody scene where Luke was shot and then blown up. Suddenly, she dug through the leaves on the ground with her hands as if she had gone mad.
Her clean and slender hands were digging through the musty soil. She was mumbling to herself while eagerly looking for something.
"Bianca, what are you doing?!"
Selena noticed Bianca's anomaly. She was shocked and wanted to stop her, but Bianca pushed her away. Her eyes looked a little crazed as she said, "Selena, get out of the way! Luke must’ve left something on the scene of the crime. I know him. He has always been meticulous. I'm sure he would've left clues here!" "Sister-in-law, even if Luke had left clues, it’s likely that whatever he left has been long gone. Moreover, he had been ambushed. Even if he was quick on his feet, he couldn't have known what would happen to him that day... I did my due diligence after the incident and didn't manage to find anything. It has been so long since then. All evidence must've perished by now. It's impossible to find anything useful here..."
Gordan’s heart was heavy as he grabbed Bianca and said, "Bianca, wake up! Don’t do useless things."
He shook Bianca's shoulders violently to snap her out of it. Bianca regained sof her senses after getting shaken by Gordan.
She deeply regretted not coming to the scene of the crimmediately after Luke's accident.
However, T Corporation had been a mess at the time. If she had left then, the legacy that Luke worked so hard to build would be torn apart.
To protect T Corporation, she chose to stay in A City with great sorrow to attend to the affairs of T Corporation on behalf of him.
Bianca had never let go of the guilt of not being able to visit the site where Luke's accident occurred.
After Luke's accident, even her rival, Mavis Laviere, had put down everything on hand and rushed here to pay her respects to him. However, Bianca, Luke's lawful wife, failed to do so in time. That became her biggest regret.
That was why after the situation at T Corporation was stabilized, Bianca rushed over immediately. She chose to ceven when she knew that it might be pointless.
'Luke, I’m sorry. If I had gotten here in tafter your accident, would I have a better chance of finding you?'
Bianca's tears fell drop by drop onto the scorched leaves.
She clenched her right hand into a fist and smashed it into the soft ground that was covered with moldy leaves and dead branches.
Her hysterical and sorrowful appearance made the others shed tears too.
"Bianca, don't do this. Luke wouldn't want to see you hurting yourself like this." Vivian wiped her tears, half-kneeling in front of Bianca. She persuaded her gently.
Bianca kept silent, but tears spilled over and flowed down her face like a burst dam.
Suddenly, she felt something hard.
Bianca was surprised and quickly dug through the dead leaves. She did not stop even when dirt got into her fingernails.
She kept her gaze locked on an area of soil. Finally, under a rotten leaf, she found a ruby the size of a pigeon egg.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe carefully placed the gem in her palm and observed it carefully.
The sun shone through the gaps in the leaves of the dense forest.
The ruby was octahedral and shone brightly. It reflected a little blue-green color and was shockingly beautiful.
After Vivian saw the gem, her eyes widened in surprise as she said in disbelief, "Wow, what a beautiful gem! Isn’t it the one and only 'Hope Diamond'? I’ve always wanted it, but my brother said a mysterious buyer bought it. How did it appear here? Hey... I think there might be something engraved on it..."
The sunlight shone on Hope Diamond and it beca little more transparent. It gradually revealed a few words.
When Bianca saw those words, she was in shock and clutched her panicking heart...
[Bianca, my wife, till death do us part.]
Marbella Village.
Luke was having dinner with Nova and Bobby. He had already planned his escape route.
At that moment, the cheerful laughter of the two children made the empty fishing boat feel warm.
Suddenly, Luke put down his utensils. His sensitive ears wiggled as he made a hush motion at them.
Nova and Bobby fell silent immediately. Their identical doubtful eyes had their focus on him.
They heard footsteps outside and an angry voice yelling in Russian," Useless piece of sh*t! Find the traitor at all costs! Go and search this broken ship for Shawn immediately!"
Then, the somewhat dilapidated door of the fishing boat was roughly kicked open.
The moment the door was kicked open, Luke immediately jumped from the window into the ocean...
