Billionaire’s Mistress

Chapter 65



Three days later, my mother called me and told me that Lorna was hit by a car on the way to the hospital for prenatal checkups. On the spot, she was directly hit to the ground with her car. The baby in her belly was lost, and because of excessive blood loss, her uterus was not saved, and she could never have a baby again.

When I heard the news, my first reaction was to connect it with Eugene.

She picked up her phone and called Eugene. Sheila answered the phone and told that she was in a meeting and didn’t have time to answer it.

I couldn’t get the answer from Eugene, so I had to knock on the door of my mother-in-law’s room, Whitney.

When I entered the room, I saw Whitney sitting on the sofa without even raising her eyes. She looked straight at the air in front and said in a slightly cold tone, “if you have anything to say, just say it. Then you can go out. I don’t want to see you.”

“Mom, I know you won’t believe me no matter what I say. The matter between Dad and Lorna really has nothing to do with me.” I opened my mouth and wanted to take the opportunity to explain my position first.

However, before I could finish my words, she waved her hand and said, “if you don’t have anything else to do, you can leave now.”

“There is one thing I think you need to know, that is, Lorna had a car accident and lost her child. Moreover, it is said that there is a massive haemorrhage. In order to save her life, the doctor directly removed her child and the uterus…”

“What did you say?” When she heard the news, she was shocked at first, but then a happy smile of revenge appeared on her face. “God has eyes. That little bitch finally got her retribution.”

“Mom, do you really think this is retribution?” I can tell from her expression and reaction that she didn’t ask anyone to do it.

Hearing this, she looked with a strange expression. “What do you mean? It’s not retribution. Is it man-made?”

“I don’t know, but I’m a little worried. Is it Eugene…”

“Eugene? How could it have anything to do with him? He didn’t know…” before she finished her words, she suddenly looked at me and asked, “did you tell Eugene about Lorna?”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“I wanted to hide it from him as you did, but he was smart enough to guess the general situation at once. In the end, he said that if I didn’t tell him, he would investigate by himself. I didn’t want him to waste too much time on this matter, so I told him…”

I explained, but before I could finish my words, she stood up and slapped me hard in the face.

The burning pain spread all over my face.

“What are you thinking? You know what I fear most is that Eugene knows about it. I tried so hard to hide it from him, but you told him the truth directly. I ask you, if he gets angry and something happens, can you be responsible for it?”

“Mom, I didn’t mean to tell him. I really have no choice. He…” I wanted to say. In that case, the result would be the same whether I told him or not.

Besides, it turns out that we have underestimated Eugene’s psychological endurance.

“Enough, Leanna. Listen to me. I don’t care what you are planning. You’d better think it over. You married into this family because of Eugene. If anything happens to him, you have to get out of this family. Do you understand?” She said with resentment, “besides, you have to remember that the car accident of Lorna has nothing to do with Eugene. You’d better not make wild guesses. If I know that you talk to a third person about what you have said to me today, I will not care if you are pregnant with Eugene’s child. I will not let you go!”

With Whitney’s warning, I don’t dare to blame it on Eugene anymore.

But I know very well that the car accident of Lorna must not be that simple.

If it was really Eugene who asked someone to do it, I would feel that he was very terrible. At least in my opinion, this man could do anything without a bottom line for revenge.

In the evening, Eugene returned home. After dinner, Whitney called him into her room.

The mother and son closed the door and chatted for a while before I saw Eugene come out of the master bedroom.

When I was about to say something to him, Eugene interrupted me, “I know what you are going to say to me, but are you sure you want to know the truth?”

I looked at him with uncertainty in my eyes. “What do you mean by that?”

“You are so smart. How can you not understand what I mean?” He looked at me for a while and walked to me. He reached out to hold my waist and touched my belly with one hand. “This baby will be born in four months, right?”

I don’t know why he suddenly paid attention to the baby in my belly. Thinking of the accident that happened to Lorna, my heart inexplicably tightened. I held my stomach with both hands. “Eugene, you…”

“Why are you so nervous?” He smiled, “don’t worry. Our children are much luckier than those bastards. Don’t worry.”

His voice sent shivers down my spine.

When I first met Eugene, he looked completely different.

“Royston will treat me to dinner tomorrow night and ask me to take you with me. I think you will be willing to go with me, won’t you?” He said suddenly.

Judging from his tone, I knew I couldn’t refuse, so I had to nod. “I see.”

“Good girl, don’t forget to dress up.” After saying that, he went downstairs.

Looking at his receding figure, I suddenly had a very bad feeling.

Now Eugene is far different from the warm boy. I can’t tell whether the Eugene I first knew is the real Eugene or this is his real face. The former warm male image is just to get close to me.

But I don’t understand. If Eugene approached me on purpose, then what was his purpose?

The dinner party set up by Royston was arranged in the restaurant of the King group.

At seven o’clock in the evening of the second day, Eugene and I appeared in the restaurant on time.

The waiter led us into the private room. Royston had been waiting for us for a long time.

Eugene led me to Royston. They introduced each other and then took their seats.

Taking a look at the seats and tableware on the round table, Eugene asked, “Mr. Royston, is there any guest coming tonight?”

With a smile on his face, Royston said, “yes, there are still people here. But you are not unfamiliar.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the box was pushed open from the outside, and two familiar figures came in.

I looked outside and found that there were two people, Edmund and Myrna.

“What do you think? You two don’t need my introduction, do you?” Royston stood up as soon as he saw Edmund.

At this time, Eugene also stood up without any ups and downs on his face. He grinned and said, “brother, long time no see.”

“It’s been a long time. Grandpa asked me yesterday that you haven’t visited him recently. Did you forget him?” Edmund smiled calmly.

“How? I’m just afraid that grandpa is too old to remember me because he doesn’t live with us.” Eugene said with a forked tongue.

“No matter how old grandpa is, you are his grandson. Whether he remembers you or not, you are always.” At this time, Myrna said, “besides, if you go to the mansion to see him every day, how can he not remember you?”

Eugene raised his eyebrows and said, “so, you are a dutiful sister-in-law in front of grandpa every day.”

“I…” Myrna gritted her teeth and rolled her eyes. “Of course I often go to see Grandpa. I’m not like you, heartless.”

“Are you going to stay at home all the time?” Royston broke the ice.

Hearing this, the three of them sat down, and the waiters began to serve the dishes one after another.

I know I have no stand to speak, so I have to keep silent all the time.

Myrna’s POV

Royston asked someone to open a bottle of liquor and divided it into four glasses. Except for Leanna who was pregnant, everyone else had a glass in front of them.

Looking at the glass of liquor in front of me, I knew that Royston had poured it for me on purpose, so I was very unhappy. I pushed the glass to the middle of the table and said, “I’m sorry. I don’t drink.”

“Oh? Really? You don’t drink? I don’t know.” Royston pretended to be surprised and looked at me with piercing eyes.

I smiled sweetly and looked back at him. “I did drink it before, but I can’t drink it recently.”

“Why?”

I reached out and held Edmund’s arm intimately. “Can’t you see that? We are preparing for pregnancy.”

Then I pushed out the glass of wine in front of Edmund. “So, not only me, but also Edmund can’t drink it.”

Royston continued with a smile, “well, that’s really a pity. The day before yesterday, I had dinner with Mario, the editor in chief of the weekly. He told me that he knew that there were many famous wine shops under your family and wanted to ask you out for an interview. Now it seems that you don’t drink at all. It’s not appropriate for you to do this interview.”

As soon as he mentioned Mario, I immediately thought of the day when he unmasked my fake marriage with Edmund and forced Mario to take a group photo for us in KTV, and the interview that Royston assistant made up that I was Royston’s girlfriend. I was careful all of a sudden. I was in a bad mood because I wanted to make Royston happy with Edmund by my side.

I quickly brought Edmund’s glass of wine in front of him again. “Well… Although I can’t drink it, Edmund can still drink a little. Right, Edmund, can you drink a little?”

“Brother and sister-in-law are already preparing for pregnancy? Congratulations! You two are so lucky. It seems that I will be an uncle soon.” Eugene seemed to be very happy and smiled brightly.

Only then did I realize that Leanna was there. I secretly scolded myself for being stupid and wanted to embarrass Royston, but in the end, I said something that would make Leanna misunderstand.

I secretly raised my head and cast a glance at Leanna, asking her not to misunderstand me. But I found that Leanna was looking at me without any anger or unhappiness in her eyes.

Her eyes were so gentle and calm, as if she didn’t take Eugene’s words seriously at all.

Or, those words could no longer arouse any ripples in her heart.

My heart jolted.

The waiters began to serve the dishes one after another. As Leanna’s husband, Eugene took good care of her during the meal. The two of them showed off their love in front of everyone. I thought Edmund would be unhappy because of this, but unexpectedly, he acted as if nothing had happened. He chatted happily with Royston, talking and laughing, as if he was not affected at all.

In the middle of the meal, Leanna stood up and went to the bathroom. I blocked her outside the box and pulled her into another box. “Leanna, I have something to tell you.”

She looked at me without saying anything, as if she was waiting for me to continue.

“Well, let me ask you, are you really in love with Eugene?”

She frowned and said nothing.

“Well, let me ask you another question. Do you still like Edmund?”

“Why do you ask this meaningless question?” She sighed.

“No, it’s a meaningful question. I’m going to divorce Edmund.”

Leanna’s POV

“What did you say?” I was shocked!

Divorce?

How could it be so fast?

Now the situation of The Fisher group was not very clear. Although Myrna had become the president, the group of people from the Fisher family were still coveting her. If she divorced with Edmund now, what they had done before would be useless?

“I’ve already thought of a way to get Edmund to agree to divorce me. So, as long as you can come back to Edmund, everything will be fine.” She looked at me with her bright eyes.

“Does Edmund know that you are going to divorce him?”

” I haven’t told him yet. I want your reply first.”

“Myrna, is it because of me that you are in a hurry to divorce Edmund? If so, I advise you not to do so. Just like Edmund, I also hope that he can help you gain a foothold in The Fisher group.”

“No, that’s not the only reason. I just know one thing recently. It’s very important to you. I’m worried that you will be used by Eugene.” When she said this, her expression was particularly serious.

“What do you mean? How could I be used by him?”

“You probably don’t know that Edmund also suffered from congenital heart disease before, right? This disease was inherited from his grandmother. At that time, Edmund was very young, probably twelve years old. Eugene was two years younger than him, and his condition was more serious than him. Therefore, he was ranked in front of Edmund on the list of organ donation. Later, a child had a car accident with his parents. After the rescue, he only got the result of brain death All the indexes were exactly the same as Eugene’s. Therefore, the hospital contacted the child’s grandparents. After a discussion, they decided to donate the child’s heart. At that time, Eugene had been put on the operating table. Later, Grandpa knew about it, but he made another decision. He asked Eugene to give up the operation, and Edmund, who was behind Eugene and waiting for the donor, accepted the heart. “
