Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Chapter 854 He Treats His Granddaughters Differently
The exquisite inkwell fell on the floor, but it did not shatter as ordinary ones would.
However, one of its corners chipped off when it hit the floor, giving it an ugly imperfection.
Leia pretended to cover her mouth. She half-closed her eyes to hide the cunning in her gaze. "Sorry for bumping into you,
Bianca, but... you broke Grandpa's favorite inkwell! Don't you know that it's an antique? Dad bought it at his old friend's auction
at a high price. Grandpa usually keeps it safe, but you..."
Bianca's heart skipped a beat when she saw the inkwell on the floor. She had an ominous feeling about it.
She had never seen that small antique before, but she could tell from the exquisite carvings that it was worth a lot of money. It
was a pitiful sight that it lay broken on the floor.
At the same time, the old couple came into the study.
Old Mr. Norman could sense that the atmosphere in the study was not quite right. "What's wrong?" He asked sternly.
Leia hurriedly ran next to Old Mr. Norman, pointed deliberately at the inkwell on the floor, and spoke with fake regret, "Grandpa,
Bianca accidentally broke your inkwell. She didn't mean to, please don't blame her
Old Mr. Norman's eyes fell on the lonely inkwell on the floor. For a brief moment, his brown eyes flashed with uncontrollable
anger.
A vein on his forehead bulged as well.
His penetrating gaze fell on Bianca. "Why would you suddenly break the inkwell, Bianca? How could you be so careless?"
Old Mrs. Norman began to reprimand shrilly, "You're such a nuisance, Bianca! That is your grandpa's most treasured
possession. He doesn't even let me touch it, but you've broken it! You're already a grown adult, but you're still so unreliable!"
Old Mr. Norman crouched down on the floor, picked up the pieces of the broken inkwell, and held them in his palm.
Bianca could see that he was very sad. He was trembling slightly, and his usually straight back was hunched over.

She did not attempt to make excuses. Instead, her heart wrenched as she saw her grandfather gazing dearly at the broken
inkwell in his hands.
She glared at Leia and saw that the woman was looking at her innocently but with a hint of smugness in her eyes. That made
Bianca chuckle coldly.
She did not expect Leia would go to such lengths just to frame her.
However, this was not the time to point fingers.
Bianca lowered her head, slowly got down on the floor, and helped her grandfather pick up the pieces. "I'm sorry, Grandpa. This
is entirely my fault. I'll bear responsibility for this."
Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Norman was not going to let go of the chance to criticize Bianca.
She instantly scrunched up her face and began to yell. "I told you not to let Bianca come and visit us so often, dear. Look, she
always courts trouble whenever she's here. Your asthma flared up the last time she was here. Before that, she brought us some
tea, and that made my blood pressure go up, and I had to be hospitalized. This time, she broke your antique inkwell. Don't you
think that she's nothing but a nuisance? She's here to wreck our house!"
Bianca bit her lower lip, and her face became slightly pale.
She had already known that her grandmother was not fond of her, but when she heard those insulting words, she felt tears
welling up in her eyes.
Old Mr. Norman glared at his wife and said sternly, "How can you say that about our granddaughter? Bea doesn't have any
ulterior motive when she comes to visit us. She visited us the last time because she heard that my asthma was flaring up. My
health condition has nothing to do with her.
Also, you're already suffering from high blood pressure anyway. You didn't take the tea that Bea gave us, even though it's
supposed to help you with your blood pressure, but instead, you ate the venison that she brought me. Bea even reminded you
that you shouldn't eat the venison, but you were greedy. Why are you blaming her? The inkwell might be precious, but my
granddaughter is priceless to me. How can you compare the two?"
Bianca felt a lot better knowing that her grandfather was on her side.

"Thank you, Grandpa.” Bianca sounded like she was sobbing. "This is indeed my fault. Don't worry. I'll find a way to restore it.
Please trust me!"
Leia's expression was extremely unpleasant. She did not expect that Old Mr. Norman would still be speaking up for Bianca.
'Isn't the inkwell Grandpa's most prized possession?
"Grandpa scolded me when I touched it the last time. Now that Bianca broke it, he doesn't even say a harsh word! Why does
Grandpa treat his granddaughters so differently?
'Pah! Is it because I'm adopted?'
Old Mrs. Norman was exasperated by her husband's reply. She instantly looked older with all the wrinkles on her face.
"Hmph! This inkwell is more than a hundred years old. Do you think you can repair it like repairing a chipped bowl? Old man, if
the inkwell isn't as precious as you make it, then I don't want to hear you complaining about it! Let's go, Leia. Ignore this old
geezer!"
Old Mrs. Norman grunted unhappily and brought Leia out of the study.
"Don't be angry at Bianca, Grandma. She really doesn't mean it..." Leia continued to pretend to speak up for Bianca, but Bianca
thought that it was incredibly ironic.
"You don't have to speak up for her, Leia. I know that you're a kind girl. You'd better stay away from your elder sister. Otherwise,
you might become unlucky too..." Old Mrs. Norman grumbled unhappily.
Leia held Old Mrs. Norman's arm and walked away from the study. Before she left, she turned around to glance smugly at
Bianca, but she did not expect that Bianca would be staring at her.
The gaze was ice-cold, which made Leia shiver uncontrollably.
However, she realized that she had nothing to be afraid of. Bianca was the one who broke the inkwell anyway.
