Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle
Chapter 3058 The Nonexistent Sense Of Pride

Marie noticed a hint of impatience flashing across Luca's eyes. She let out a cold snort.

"You're just a side piece. Why are you being so arrogant? And let's be real, no matter how much attention you're soaking up, you're never going to outshine the main wife.

"The love and pampering you're enjoying now? It's just a matter of time before it goes back to my sister."

As Luca listened to Marie incessantly talking about herself in an overly enthusiastic manner, she felt an increasing sense of annoyance.

She had no idea what Marie was trying to say.

"If that's all you want to say, then I get it." Luca's true identity was Bianca, and she did not have much of a reaction to what Marie was saying. After that, she was about to leave.

Marie realized Luca was about to leave. She quickly grabbed her arm and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you feeling guilty?"

Luca wanted to say no, but talking about this was already quite meaningless. She had no patience to deal with Marie.

"Let me put it this way. Even though Luke has clarified your relationship with him, I have some evidence on hand. With my special status, if I were to tell the reporters about your affair, I think they'd be very interested." Marie revealed her trump card.

She was Bianca's sister. A story of a sister crying about her sister's husband's affair would undoubtedly attract the interest of reporters.

Luca frowned. "Are you trying to threaten me?"

"Yes, I am. You left yourself vulnerable. I can't help but feel for my sister. She invested her youth in that guy and gave birth to three kids for him. Now, she's been cast aside, looked down upon.

"The guy sent her overseas and swiftly moved on to a new woman. Imagine if the reporters catch wind of this? They'd be all over it, don't you think?" Marie said arrogantly, her tone filled with excitement. She felt like she had caught onto something between Luke and Luca.

Also, she was whispering to herself. She wondered how Bianca, that clueless soul, failed to hold onto her happiness. As her sister, lending a hand in this matter could also bring her some advantages. Was it not killing two birds with one stone?

"Fine. If you want to tell the reporters, just go ahead. I don't care. But Marie, have you thought about how offending Mr. Crawford comes with consequences?" Luca lowered her voice, which carried a warning tone.

Indeed, the nature of a malicious person would never change.

Even though Marie had previously faced legal consequences and underwent rehabilitation, those past experiences were insignificant to her now.

She had not changed at all.

She was still as bitchy as she used to be after she came out.

If it were not for the Langdon family deciding to ignore her, Marie would probably still be on the wanted list.

Marie suddenly shivered as she recalled Luke's icy cold eyes.

She did not really want to offend Luke. She just wanted to gain some benefits from his mistress.

After all, she was broke now, and she needed a substantial amount of money for medical treatment.

With these thoughts, Marie tightly clenched the medical report in her hand.

"If he's got the guts, he can come and take revenge on me. I've got nothing to lose now, and I'm not scared. Besides, he's the one who messed up. What, are we not allowed to talk about it? And you, didn't your parents teach you any better?

"A good person doesn't stoop to being someone's mistress. Do you think that's something honorable or impressive? I'm just standing up for my sister, and if you don't get it, don't blame me for being blunt." Marie sneered, making it clear that she would expose this to the reporters if she did not get her hands on the money.

"Although Luke isn't some big celebrity, the reporters are very interested in his private life," added Marie.

Luca furrowed her brows, also noticing the tightly clenched report in Marie's hands.

Even though it was being tightly held, she managed to glimpse at the small print at the bottom of the report.

"You need money to treat yourself, right?" Luca suddenly asked. She had seen Marie at the hospital before, so she assumed that she was seeking medical treatment.

"What? You're talking nonsense. You're the one who's sick!" Marie held the report tightly, clenching it even more.

It was not something to be proud of, and she did not intend to let Luca know. "I came with a friend for a check-up. Stop guessing things."

"Gynecological disease? Or did you get infected with a virus?" Luca asked again.

"You..." Marie was surprised. How did she know?

Did someone notice her when she returned?

Was Luke's men keeping an eye on her?

Otherwise, how did Luca know that she had contracted a virus and came to the hospital for treatment?

"You're talking nonsense! Why are you cursing me like this?" Marie got furious, attempting to use her anger to cover up her guilt.

She wanted to cure this illness and find a new target in another place.

As long as she did not speak about it, others would not know her identity or what had happened in the past.

Once her health was restored... she could start her life anew.

However, with Luca heartlessly exposing her illness now, Marie felt anxious. She was worried that Luca had gotten someone to keep an eye on her.

Even if she recovered and moved elsewhere, Luca could easily spread news of this if she wanted revenge. What should she do...

In her panicked mind, Marie suddenly had a crazy thought. Luca must not be left alive...

Otherwise, she would be the one in trouble.

"Whether it's your medical report or someone else's, you know it well. Dealing with this virus infection is tricky. Currently, there are no effective drugs worldwide to cure this virus. "You need long-term medical care and treatment. Is that why you're trying to blackmail me?"

Luca, of course, knew what illness Marie had.

Even though the illness could be transmitted through other means, in most cases, it was due to one's promiscuous behavior...

Luca knew what kind of life Marie led after her release from prison.

She made a living with her only asset-her looks. Such people were most prone to contracting this type of virus.

Luca felt that Marie's life was ruined, but considering her past actions, she did not feel sorry for her.

If Marie had been willing to change her ways back then and lived a good life with Jean while ignoring her, she would not have ended up like this today.

"Luca, do you think I don't have the guts to sue you for defamation?" Marie refused to expose her most embarrassing side in front of Luca.

Everyone would know how she had contracted the virus if it was mentioned.

However, for some unknown reason, she simply wished to uphold her nonexistent sense of pride in front of Luca.

It was just like before. She had always wanted to uphold her self-esteem and pride in front of Bianca. Even if she had already fallen to the bottom, she was desperate to maintain it.

She did not want to show her downfall in front of Bianca.

Luca listened to Marie's words, nodded, and said, "If you think I'm defaming you, go ahead and sue me. But I'm warning you, Marie, if you dare to spread false rumors to the reporters, Mr. Crawford and I won't let you off. By then..."

Luca paused for a moment. She could no longer be bothered by the non-existent familial bond between them. "Actually, the hospital in prison can also help with treating this illness, and you wouldn't have to bear this financial burden."
