Chapter 1067 He Wanted to See Her Embarrass Herself
"I'm worried that she'll tire out." Eler knew that Bianca's accuracy had improved. However, it was no use if Bianca's arms tired out
before she could finish the task.
Believe in her," Amur said.
The mercenary noticed the siblings whispering to each other and reprimanded them, "What are you doing? You don't get to eat if
you don't finish the arrows."
After Eler heard that, she picked up the bow and arrows and began to shoot.
At first, Bianca found it relatively easy to hit the bullseye. As time passed, her arms began to feel weaker. When she stretched
the bow, her arms were shaking.
"Continue!" The mercenary yelled. He did not give her time to rest.
Sweat poured down her forehead. Bianca pressed her lips together and fired another arrow, which hit the bullseye.
Eler could not help but feel nervous for her.
Abel came to the training grounds. When he saw that Bianca only had about twenty arrows left, he smiled and slapped her arm.
"Not bad. You've hit quite a lot."
Bianca grunted. Her arms were already numb. After being deliberately slapped, she felt the pain spread throughout her limbs.
"Continue." Abel showed no mercy to her. He knew that Bianca was almost at her physical limit, but he did not give her a chance
to rest. He wanted her to beg him.
Bianca picked up another arrow and fired.
She was moving slower and slower. Despite being already exhausted, she persisted. 'What an idiot!' Abel could not help but
think when he looked at her tightly-pressed lips.
If she could only beg him, he might give her some rest.
However, Bianca did not intend to show any weakness at all.
Abel saw her miss several shots in a row. The mercenary pulled out those arrows and tossed them back at her.
He chuckled sinisterly and stood there to see how she would embarrass herself.
It took Bianca an hour and a half to finish the remaining twenty arrows.
Abel had already left. He was happy that Bianca had made a fool out of herself.
He was currently sitting in the laboratory watching Shanks conduct his experiments. ’Do me a favor," he said.
"I can do that, but there are conditions." Shanks did not look up. His hands continued to pour chemicals into different test tubes.
"This isn't a personal favor," Abel said. "By helping me, you're also helping yourself."
Shanks instantly knew that it had something to do with Luke Crawford.
"Say it," Shanks said.
Abel smiled. "I've prepared a woman. All you have to do is change her face.
"Consider it done," Shanks replied. He would be able to do anything medical-related.
A City.
Maxine sat next to the bed and looked at herself in the mirror.
Under Hera's encouragement, she had signed up for a cosmetic surgery procedure.
The procedure caused some visible changes to her mature and charming face. Her big and round eyes seemed pure and
innocent, her nose received a tuck to make it rounder, and her lips were more supple.
She remained Maxine, but from certain angles, she looked like Bianca.
Hera had also encouraged her to do that. She said that Luke might consider approaching her if she made herself look like
Bianca.
Maxine stood up and smiled. After the recovery period of two months, her features seemed more natural.
She had just finished a video call with her mother, and her mother had noticed the changes.
Maxine said that she had put on makeup, and her mother did not suspect anything at all.
Maxine was quite happy. She opened her closet, in which was a row of gowns.
There was a charity banquet in A City that night. The organizers had invited her to attend on behalf of Capital Corp.
She had also found out that Luke would be going.
It was the best opportunity to flaunt herself in front of the man.
Instead of wearing a revealing evening gown, Maxine chose to wear a pink gown that was conservative yet trendy. That, as well
as her makeup, accentuated her pure looks. She believed that she would be able to win Luke's heart.
She became even happier when she thought about that.
Maxine was ready by sunset. She was confident when she looked at herself in the full-length mirror.
Her phone started to ring, and she answered it.
"What is it?" The call was from Hera.
"Are you ready, Ms. Douglas?" Hera knew that Maxine was going to attend the charity banquet. It would be the first time in two
months that Maxine appeared in front of Luke.
"Of course," Maxine said with a smile. Her current appearance was a departure from her usual style, but she was quite satisfied
with it.
In the past two months, she had been discussing with Hera about revamping her wardrobe.
She had managed to transform her image in two months.
"That's great. I wish you success," Hera said with a smile. Maxine had paid for her procedures.
Seeing that Maxine was quite generous, Hera decided that she would be her lackey.
After ending the call, Maxine wore her jewelry, picked up her handbag and the invitation card, and left the suite.
She would be the spotlight of the event. Luke would notice her and fall into her gentle embrace.
The charity banquet was held at Westin hotel. Maxine had hired a driver.
After arriving, she got out of the car. The bellhops escorted her into the hotel.
When she handed in her invitation card, she could tell that she had captivated many pairs of eyes.
Maxine felt quite smug about it. Not many people in A City knew who she was. Perhaps they were admiring her beauty, or
perhaps they were guessing her identity.
In any case, she enjoyed the attention.
"Don't you think that the woman looks familiar?" A male socialite standing near the entrance said to his friends.
His friend, Socialite B, looked at Maxine walking in proudly and sank into deep thought. "Now that you mention it, she does seem
familiar. Is she an actress?" "No, no, I remember now." Socialite A clapped his hands and said, "Her side profile looks like Mrs.
Crawford, who has gone missing, doesn't it?"
His family business had once collaborated with T Corporation, and he had had dinner with Luke and Bianca. When he got to
know that Bianca was from an ordinary family, he had paid extra attention to her.
