Chapter 472

Luke stopped walking. He turned around, and his gaze became colder. "Are you telling the truth?"

He waved his hand, and the bodyguards let go of Charmaine.

She was on the verge of tears.

She loved to play, but only if both parties were consenting. Those instruments might be fun and exciting while making out, but now, it seemed as though the bodyguards were going to use them to kill her. That had made her fear for her life.

She slumped onto the floor and begged him. "I was wrong, Mr. Crawford. Forgive me! I don't have any grudge against Bianca Rayne. I only did that because Leia threatened me. She told me that if I don't do what she says, she'll make sure that I can't survive in A City. I had no other choice! I swear that I won't do it again. Please forgive me..."

Luke's tall body towered over Charmaine. His figure was as exquisite as a sculpture, but Charmaine was not in the mood to appreciate it. She thought that the man was too scary.

"What is inside the CD that caused Bianca to reject the proposal?" Luke asked.

Charmaine shot a glance at the four bodyguards around her. Luke immediately understood what she meant, and he gave them a discreet signal.

The bodyguards left the room and closed the door behind them.

"Now you can speak," Luke told Charmaine to continue.

Charmaine did not keep any secrets. She told him what she knew. "Mr. Crawford, Leia has a crush on you ever since she met you. She knows that you don't love her and that you're already a couple with Ms. Rayne, but she wants to marry you no matter what. Don't you know how pretentious that woman is? She tried to look pure and innocent, but she's underhanded and sinister. She makes me want to throw up every time I see her, and she has insulted M s. Rayne in front of me many times. Also, she said that she'd break up the two of you no matter what it takes... H

Charmaine told Luke about every misdeed that Leia did.

She did not like Leia. After all, no one would be willing to become another woman's lapdog.

When Charmaine saw that Luke looked more and more unpleasant by the moment, she continued to spin the story. "A few days ago, Leia somehow got a C D that has incriminating evidence of you conducting a bribe...

"Leia asked me to hand the CD to Ms. Rayne and threaten her to leave you so that you will be unharmed.

"If not that Leia threatened to drive me out of A City if I don't listen to what she says, I wouldn't have dared to threaten Ms. Rayne!"
