"Why have you all surrounded my girlfriend as if she has stolen something?" Jerome walked to them, his hands were in his pocket and his voice was calm. "Sir, your girlfriend left the party four hours ago. She was well dressed while leaving but now just look at her. Do you think she deserves you?" The lady said. "Oh, if she doesn't deserve me, do you deserve me?" Jerome's expression was indifferent. It was difficult to detect emotions. "Jerome, don't you get what they are trying to say? Eleanor is a cheap whore. And when did she become your girlfriend?" Mia tried to get closer to him but his dangerous gaze stopped her from going further. "Whether she slept with someone or not, how does it concern you guys." "You.." Something wasn't right. She slept with him just now and he should be angry at Eleanor. He was supposed to support her, why is he still protecting the bitch. Maybe he didn't want Eleanor to be hurt. Or maybe he doesn't believe Eleanor would do such a thing. "Sir, don't b
Soon, the police arrived, and the people realized he was serious. "Please forgive us. We were misled by the witch.""We are sorry, Mr. Caddel.""Please don't send us to prison. I have a child to take care of.""Oh, no, what am I going to do with my sick mother if I end up in jail?"The guests began wailing, regretting they had offended the devil. Now, what were they going to do? Jerome stared at them with cold eyes. Of course, he could make them all rot in jail, but Eleanor wouldn't want that. Well, they should at least two weeks in jail. Next time, they wouldn't say something they didn't know. The police took about fifty guests to their station.The others left, leaving Mia, Eleanor, and Jerome."Mia, I have been tolerating you for a long time, and do you think I will forgive you this time? You dare to plot against me. Very good." Jerome grinned. Nothing showed he was angry or happy. It was difficult for Mia to know what he was thinking, especially with his harmless grin.Eleanor slo
She resents her daughter so much.Eleanor held her cheek but still refused to cry. "You shouldn't have given birth to me if you knew you wouldn't like me. This slap is my last payment. A mother who can sell her daughter to her enemy doesn't deserve to be a mother. From now onwards, Eleanor Morgan has no mother. My mother is dead," she said and left the house without looking back.Mrs. Morgan scoffed. "Manipulating you? You ungrateful child. Get out of my house!" Eleanor left, carrying her documents, leaving behind a toxic past. As she walked away, she felt a mix of emotions – anger, sorrow, and relief. She couldn't change her past, but she could shape her future.Back at her apartment, Eleanor found herself reflecting on her life. Jerome's proposal to register their marriage still echoed in her mind. Despite the chaos with her family, she was determined to start anew.No matter what, she wouldn't cry. Her mother has caused her too much suffering; she doesn't deserve this. She took the
"I hope it will be for a good reason," Eleanor said.…At the Cambridge family…."Mia! Mia!" Mr. Cambridge called her angrily after he got out of the car. His stupid daughter had never brought anything good to the family."Honey, why are you shouting while you are coming?" Mrs. Cambridge said, wiping her hands with a napkin.'Slap.' "How dare you cause trouble? Are you happy now?" He slapped her on the cheek the moment he entered. Mia held her cheek in surprise. "Father," she exclaimed in horror."Honey, why did you slap her?" Mrs. Cambridge inquired, even though she knew the reason."I warned your daughter not to cause any problems. Now we have lost of everything. Are you happy now?" Mr. Cambridge said, breathing heavily."Father, that wasn't my fault. It was Eleanor's fault. The plan was perfect," Mia said with an aggrieved tone. "Idiot. All you know is to blame others for your foolishness. If you had listened to me, this wouldn't have happened. Are you happy now that you have dest
The passersby quickly called the ambulance. Soon the ambulance came to pick him up. They called Mrs Cambridge who quickly rushed to the hospital. "Doctor, what happened?" She asked while panting. "Mrs, his injuries are quite serious. He is still unconscious. Let's hope he wakes up." The doctor said with some frustration in his tone. " Doctor, please save him at all costs. Please?" "We are trying our best." The doctor responded. The nurse quickly rushed to them, panting heavily, "Doctor, the patient…" The doctor didn't wait for him to complete her words and quickly rushed to the ward. "Doc…" Before Mrs Cambridge could finish her words, the doctor was already gone. "Mother, what happened?" Mia rushed to the hospital as soon as she received the news. Mrs Cambridge called her as soon as she got to the hospital. "Mia," she was lost in thought. Her voice was soft yet filled with sadness. "The doctor said your father is in critical condition." "Mother, what exactly happened?" Mia ask
… Two weeks later…Mia had been feeling weak recently. She sometimes felt nauseous and always dizzy. "What's happening to me?" she wondered.Mrs. Cambridge had seen her daughter's pale face. She walked to her bedroom and found Mia still in bed. "Mia, are you okay?" she asked."Mother, I'm feeling weak," Mia spoke in a weak voice.Mrs. Cambridge touched her forehead, and her temperature was normal. She called the doctor. Shortly after, the doctor arrived. After checking on her, the doctor said with a smile, "If my guess is right, the young mistress is pregnant. Congratulations," the doctor said with a wide grin."No! How can I get pregnant? Doctor, are you sure?" Mia was shocked. But she remembered clearly she had taken pills after the incident. How could she get pregnant?"You can go to the hospital for confirmation," the doctor said. The doctor left without prescribing any medicine, telling her to go to the hospital to check."Yes, I will have to be sure," Mia said. She can't be preg
The twenty-four hours were almost up, and Mia and her mother still hadn't found a place to stay. Things started getting difficult.“Mother, are we going to sleep outside?" Mia asked.“Let's see if we can find help.” Although it seemed impossible, Mrs. Cambridge still hoped someone would come to their aid.“We are sorry, Mrs. Cambridge. There is no space in the house; otherwise, I would have happily accommodated you.”"I have given the room to my son. He just returned from abroad. I'm sorry; I would have helped you if I had the ability.”"My husband wouldn't permit me to accommodate strangers; otherwise, I would have gladly accepted you.”These were the responses from those they sought help from.After searching for twenty hours, they still couldn't find any assistance. “Mother, why should we leave the house for them?" Mia, exhausted, said with a frown."Do we have a choice? Can we fight against them?" Mrs. Cambridge asked hopelessly."It's my father's house, yet we leave it for them?
Are we pregnant?" Jerome asked with a happy tone."Wait, we? Did I hear it wrongly?" Bright murmured with a puzzled look. "Boss, you said we? What's going on, Eleanor, can you explain?" Bright became inquisitive. He won't be able to sleep if he doesn't get an answer today."Bright, you should have respect for your boss when we are outside the office," Jerome said sternly."Bam! Another bomb dropped. Wife, Miss Eleanor, when did you two get married?" Bright was confused. He had known Eleanor had been living with Jerome lately, but he didn't know what the problem was. So this is it?"I'm sorry, Bright, I didn't want to make it known to the public. I wanted it to be only the two of us," Eleanor said softly."But I'm not part of the public. I am your co-worker and the boss's secretary.""Even Steve and Gaius don't know about it," Jerome's statement made Bright swallow his grief. But why are they keeping it from their friends? He can't keep this news to only himself. He has become close to
