Billionaire’s Mistress

Chapter 68



I shook my head. Sheila’s words shocked me.

“Think about it. If he really wants to deal with Rufus, he can control you and threaten him. Isn’t it easy? Why cooperate with Royston? Because he knows that you love Rufus very much. If he takes Rufus’ heart in that way, even if he is alive in the end, he won’t win your heart. You won’t let him go. This is why he is willing to die and unwilling to do something that hurts you. ”

“Then what is the cooperation between him and Royston?” My mind is in a mess.

“Royston can find a suitable heart donator from the black market. Perhaps this is the only hope for him to live. He wants to accompany you and watch the birth of your baby…”

I never dreamed that the answer would be this.

It turned out that Eugene had never thought of hurting anyone. All he did was to live on.

Edmund once deprived him of the chance to live.

Now, his second chance would also be taken away by him.

“Why didn’t he make it clear to me? He can make it clear.” I felt my nose ached and tears were rolling in my eyes.

“Maybe he doesn’t think you will believe him. After all, compared with him, you will always trust him more, won’t you?”

“If that’s the case, why did Edmund drive him away?” If Eugene was really so harmless, why didn’t Edmund give him a chance to live?

“Because as long as the second master don’t die, you can never be together.” Sheila said in a low voice. Her answer was cruel but realistic. “Have you ever thought about how the King family, a rich family , the eldest brother married his younger brother’s wife? Do you think elder master will let himself bear such a scandal? How will they appear in public in the future?”

I know very well that as long as I used to be Eugene’s wife, no matter Eugene will live or die in the future, if Edmund and I want to get married in the sunshine, we will inevitably be criticized.

“There is one thing you can’t imagine. How did Mr. Eugene know your existence?” Said Sheila.

Hearing this, I recalled my first meeting with Eugene. It was really a coincidence.

He was a noble and low-key man. How could he attend the engagement party of Lorna?

It was not his style.

“It’s an order from old master. Since you came to City Y with elder master, old master has known your existence. You are not his ideal granddaughter in law, but he also knows that elder master likes you very much. He can’t separate you directly, so he can only let the second master help. In my opinion, the reason why you follow elder master is just for money. The second masterhave a lot of money.”

“What did you say?” I’m so shocked. It was old master who arranged Eugene to show up.

So he has always known my relationship with Edmund and the baby in my belly is Edmund’s?

“As long as you marry The second master, you and elder master will never be together. And the child in your belly is the descendant of the King family, which is no harm to him. Do you understand?”

“How could he…” I became a little excited.

“Why not? In the past, he could have said that The second masterwho had the chance to get healthy had lost the chance of heart transplant. Now, of course, he could sacrifice the happiness of The second maste ragain for the sake of the eldest son to get the best marriage. However, he was wrong. The second master said that meeting you was the only luck in his life.” Tears were welling up in Sheila’s eyes.

I lowered my head. I didn’t know that my willful decision was the final reason for this situation.

After all, I was too stupid to make a decision in a hurry before I could figure it out.

Now Eugene’s life was uncertain, and I didn’t know where to go.

At this time, Sheila opened the file bag that she took out from her briefcase and took out a stack of documents. “Mrs., these are prepared by Mr. President before. He probably expected this day, so he told me in advance. If this day comes, he asked me to bring these things to you.”

I looked at the thick stack of documents in her hand and asked, “what are these?”

“It’s all his property, including The ten percent shares of the King group. As long as you sign on it, everything that belongs to him will be yours.” Sheila unfolded the documents and put them in front of me.

I didn’t expect that Eugene would leave everything to me. I was shocked and heartbroken.

If I had misunderstood him all the time, how sad he would be these days.

Maybe that’s why he has been avoiding me these days.

“I can’t take these things. I… I don’t have the right…” if I didn’t suspect him randomly and told Edmund about his contact with Royston, things might not turn out like this.

After all, it’s all my fault.

“You are the woman that President likes. You are the most qualified to inherit everything of him.” She said seriously.

“Inherit?” Hearing these two words, I was very flustered.

Why is it the inheritance? Eugene is still alive.

“Some of these properties are property management overseas. Sir said that if you want to give birth to the baby safely, you can go abroad. Don’t you have a sister in England? He has a villa in England and you can go there to have a baby. I have prepared the air ticket for you. If you want, you can leave tomorrow afternoon.”

“Why? Why did he say that? Can’t I give birth to the baby safely here?” I’ve always been confused. Eugene said that before he fainted, but I can’t figure it out.

“Do you think elder master will let your baby come out?” Sheila looked at me, her eyes full of pity for me.

“I will tell him that the child is his.” I believe that as long as Edmund knows that the baby is his, there is no reason for him not to keep the baby.

Hearing that, Sheila smiled ironically. “If you think so, madam, you can have a try. But I don’t think he will believe you. Perhaps, in his eyes, it’s just an excuse for you to keep the child.”

“No, he won’t.” I said this to Sheila and myself.

“Then you can have a try. I’ll leave the ticket here, which is the last backup for you. If you can’t persuade Edmund, please leave City Y and go abroad. Even if you don’t want to go to England, you can go to other countries. Anyway, you must disappear as far as possible. You can come back after the baby is born safely.” As she spoke, she put away all the documents, together with the ticket, into the document bag and handed it to me solemnly.

I stood up and watched her leave.

The snow outside seemed to stop.

After Sheila left, I didn’t feel sleepy at all. What she said kept resounding in her mind.

If Eugene didn’t plan to take advantage of me from the beginning to the end, my suspicion of him would be like a knife stabbing into his heart.

Is that the reason why he doesn’t want to explain to me?

“young lady, it’s almost dawn. You’d better go upstairs and have a rest.” Petra came over with a cup of hot milk from the kitchen and handed it to me.

I turned to look at Petra and said, “help me call the driver up. I have to go out.”

“Now?”

“Yes, sir.” Then I went upstairs to change my clothes.

When I went downstairs, the driver had already stopped the car at the door. Petra looked at me with a worried look and asked, “young lady, where are you going now?”

“Go and save Eugene.” As I spoke, I wrapped myself in a thick cashmere coat and pushed the door open. A gust of cold air came to my face. I walked to the car. The driver quickly opened the door and I got on the car.

On the way to Edmund’s villa, I had rehearsed the scene in my mind ten thousand times when I met him.

But when I really appeared in the villa and stood in front of Edmund, looking at his sleepy face, I suddenly felt that I shouldn’t have come here.

It was still dark. The lights in the hall were on, dazzling.

“You didn’t sleep last night?” He looked down at me.

“Yes, I had a nightmare.” I raised my head to look at him. The dazzling crystal lamp formed many circles of light behind his head, hiding his face in the reverse light, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.

“What dream?” He asked.

“I dreamed that you threw me out of the window.” I’m telling the truth.

Hearing this, he laughed. His slender fingers gently slid across my face with a trace of warmth. “Are you afraid that I will really do this?”

“Can you?”

“No, I won’t.” He pulled me into his arms and stroked my forehead.

“What about Eugene?” I looked up at his face and asked.

Edmund’s face turned cold when he heard the name.

“Are you here for him?” His voice became cold and he pushed me away with his hands.

“Can you let him go?” Although I know it’s unlikely, I still want to ask.

“I remember that I have answered you this question before you told me that he wanted to deal with me.”

“But I made a mistake last time. The reason why Eugene cooperated with Royston was not to deal with you…”

“Really? How do you know that you didn’t make a mistake this time?” There was an impatient look on his face. He turned around, walked to the sofa and sat down. His upper body leaned on the back of the sofa, staring at me.

“I won’t be wrong again. Eugene didn’t mean to hurt you, so please let him go. I beg you, okay?” My voice was trembling. I wasn’t sure that Edmund would agree.

I didn’t know why she stood in front of him at such a close distance and looked at him, but I didn’t feel familiar.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Beg me? In what position? Eugene’s wife?” His eyes were full of irony.

“No… no… i… i…” I was a little flustered.

What position should I take to beg him?

“Leanna, you are really not smart.” He said lightly.

“I know. If I were smart enough, I shouldn’t have insisted on marrying you. If I were smart enough, I should have known that there is a huge gap between you and me. From the beginning to the end, I didn’t recognize myself, so I made a mess of everything. But Edmund, I’m such a person. From the first day you knew me, you should have known that I’m not smart or can’t read people’s mind. What about you? Do you really love me? Haven’t you lied to me? ”

I tried to hold back my tears and said.

I know I have done a lot of wrong things. I am stupid and kind, and I am self righteous. But I have never thought of hurting anyone.

I don’t understand why in the end, everyone was injured because of me, and brothers were against each other because of me.

“Tell me, what can I do to make you let go of Eugene?” I sniffed and tried my best to control my excitement.

His eyes slowly moved along my cheeks to my bulging belly.

Feeling his gaze, I suddenly panicked. Subconsciously, I covered my belly with both hands and shook my head. “No, you can’t have any idea about him.”

“You can only choose one of them.” Edmund’s eyes turned cold.

“Do you really want me to choose? Edmund, if the child is yours, will you still want me to choose?” I couldn’t hold back her tears anymore. I know what Sheila said is going to come true.

“Don’t you think it’s too late to say that the baby is mine now? Do you still remember how you answered me when I asked you that question? Leanna, in order to save Eugene, you can make up any lie.” With a gloomy face, he smiled sarcastically.

Sure enough, he didn’t believe it!

I staggered back a few steps and I smiled bitterly.

“Ring…” the phone in the pocket suddenly rang.

I took out the phone slowly and answered it directly. Then I heard Sheila’s voice, “Mrs. , Mr. … Passed away!”

“What?” I’m silly.

Passed away? How could it be possible? Wasn’t he in the hospital?

“Just now, President suddenly had a relapse, and the doctors failed to rescue him in time…” Sheila’s voice choked with sobs.

The phone fell to the ground. I raised my head and looked at Edmund’s cold face. I felt so painful that I could hardly breathe.

“Congratulations, Eugene has left.” After saying that, I turned around and walked outside.

He grabbed my arm and asked, “where are you going?”

“Where are we going? Of course I’m going to Eugene!” I got rid of his hand and staggered. “Edmund, your goal is achieved. Eugene is dead. You can rest assured in the future.”

At this time, Edmund’s phone on the tea table also rang.

Glancing at his phone, I sneered, “look. Go and listen to the good news.”

“Leanna, enough is enough!” He stared at me.

“Okay, I should stop now. Mr. Edmund, may I leave now?” My voice choked with sobs.

He didn’t say anything. After a long time, he took a deep breath and turned around.

Edmund, goodbye!

Looking at his broad back, I said silently in my heart, then turned around and left the villa.

Outside, it began to snow again.

The cold snowflakes fell on the ground, as if falling into my heart, freezing the blood all over my body, making me shiver.

Edmund’s POV

Eugene’s funeral would be held three days later.

Countless celebrities went to mourn.

Whitney’s parents didn’t allow me to attend the funeral because they were afraid that I would be too sad.

Rudolf stood alone in the mourning hall as a family member, greeting the guests.

At this time, he was no longer the man he used to be. The scandal of his cheating and the sudden death of his son made him much older in a few days.

After I appeared in the mourning hall, I was looking for another figure, but I didn’t see the person I wanted to see until I finished praying.

Oarlan walked over and whispered in my ear.

“Missing? How could it be missing?” I looked at him.

He shook his head. “I don’t know. I heard that Leanna hasn’t gone back since she went to the hospital to see Second master for the last time. No one has seen her until today. Mr. President, is Leanna gone?”

” I’m here. Where can she go?” I clenched my fists.

Leanna, do you really dare to leave?

“Go and find her! Even if you turn the whole City Y upside down, you must find her!”

“Yes, sir!” He replied and left the mourning hall in a hurry.

Leanna’s POV

When I was sleeping soundly in a deluxe suite of London five star club, there was a sudden noise outside the door.

Awakened by the shock, I opened my eyes, got out of bed and opened the door. I saw Hannah call for lunch and send it to her room.

“Sister, you are awake. How are you sleeping?” Seeing me get up, Hannah poured me a glass of juice and handed it to me.

I took two sips of the juice and said, “it’s okay. It’s the first time that I’ve taken such a long flight. It’s really hard. Why did you order so much food? Can we two finish it?”

“Not two, three.” Pointing at my belly, Hannah said, “come and eat something. I’ll take you to the hospital for an antenatal examination this afternoon.”

“Don’t you have to make an appointment in advance to do the examination here?” Although I have never been to England before, I have read a lot about this country on the plane when I came here because I was bored.

“Of course an ordinary person has to make an appointment, but you are different. You are my sister. I will personally examine you.” As she said, she put the tableware away, pulled out the chair in front of the table for me and invited me to sit down.

Seeing Hannah’s action, I feel gratified.

The sister who used to need my care finally grew up and could take care of me.

“Hannah, how have you been doing abroad these years?” I cut a piece of beef and put it into my mouth. After chewing it, I asked.

“Not bad. You know a genius like me can adapt to it wherever I go.” She replied with a smile.

When I heard this, a smile appeared on my face.
