Billionaire’s Mistress

“”Yes, of course I don’t want to leave him. In the past few years, I have been humiliated and alienated by that bad girl, Lorna. Now, I am old, if I leave the Moor family. Do I have to wait to be alone all my life?”

I can’t understand my mother’s values, and I can’t accept it. But I didn’t refute her. On the contrary, I began to sympathize with the woman I once hated.

Although she abandoned us, it is obvious that she has not lived a good life these years.

Was this God’s punishment for her?

“Leanna, I know you won’t forgive me for the rest of your life, but for the sake of I’m your mother, please do me a favor.” She went straight to the point.

I looked at her and realized that she came to me today not just to apologize to me.

“What do you think I can do for you now?” I said sarcastically.

Now I can’t even take care of myself. What else can I do to help her?

“Only you can do it.” She took a deep breath and continued, “I want you to tell Mr. King not to make things difficult for The Moor family. Lorna knew she was wrong. I and Lyndon have taught her a lesson. She will never do that again.”

Hearing this, I was stunned.

She knelt down in front of me. “Please, The Moor family can’t bankrupt.”

Looking at the mother kneeling in front of me, I suddenly felt very ironic. I never dreamed that one day, my mother would kneel down in front of me and beg me like this, just as I knelt at the door of the Moor’s mansion and begged her to save Hannah.

“Sorry, I can’t help you with this.” Now Edmund and I are strangers. I can’t go to see him again.

Besides, even if I go to see him now, I’m afraid that he may not have time to see me because he is busy with the wedding.

mother became very excited. “How can you not help me? Aren’t you Eugene’s girlfriend? He dealt with The Moor family for you. It’s just a word from you to ask him to let go.”

Eugene, who saved me that day, declared that I was his girlfriend in public for me. But the person who was really taking revenge on me behind my back was Edmund.

“Get up. I really can’t help you. Eugene is not my boyfriend at all.”

“Leanna, do you really want to stay out of this? If Eugene isn’t your boyfriend, why did he announce it in front of so many people? A person of high status like him can’t talk nonsense.” My mother doesn’t believe me.

I don’t know how to explain the relationship between me and Eugene. Most importantly, Edmund is indeed dealing with The Moor family now. But it’s Eugene who took the blame for him.

“Well, if you still feel angry, I’ll bring Lorna to you tomorrow and ask her to kneel down.”

I don’t want to see Lorna again. I turned around and found that her kneeling attracted many customers to watch.

I don’t want to be the focus of everyone’s attention, so I reached out to help her up. “You get up first.”

She immediately showed a happy smile on her face, “you agreed?”

“Get up! Get up!” I lowered my head. I don’t want others to see my face.

mother stood up and went back to her seat. “Leanna, I know you are a kind-hearted child. Don’t worry. This time you spare Lorna. They don’t dare to kick me out anymore. I will help you deal with that girl.”

I don’t want to hear anything about her and The Moor family, so I stood up and said, “I’m leaving now. Don’t look for me anymore.”

Then I walked out of the cafe quickly without waiting for her to get up.

On the street, the sun was shining in the sky and scorching the ground.

Although the hottest summer had passed, the early autumn sunshine was enough to make people dizzy.

Because of the early stage of pregnancy, I felt very uncomfortable. After walking on the street for a few minutes, I only felt weak.

I found a shady place on the street and rested for a while. When I was about to walk forward, my phone rang again.

the caller ID was Oarlan.

After hesitating for half a second, I finally answered the phone.

“Leanna, you finally answered the phone. Tell me, where are you? Do you know that president is going crazy because of your sudden disappearance?”

Oarlan’s voice came from the other end of the line. He was anxious, but obviously relieved.

Of course I don’t believe what Oarlan said on the phone. How could it be possible.

But because of my mother’s request, it’s necessary for me to see Edmund again. I looked up at the tall building in front of me and said on the other end of the phone, “I’m in The Royal Square.”

“Okay, just stand there and don’t move. I’ll pick you up right away.” Oarlan reminded “don’t move. Our company is here. Give me five minutes. I promise to show up in five minutes.”

After hanging up the phone, I narrowed my eyes and looked at the towering building in front of me. Next to it was another tall building.

When I was chatting with Evelyn in the cafe across the street, she told me that the owner of these two buildings was going to get married.

I never dreamed that the man beside me would be the owner of one of these two buildings.

Sometimes, this world was so mysterious. Many things that the whole world knew, but the person involved was always the last to know.

Five minutes later, Oarlan was punctual.

The black Bentley stopped in front of me, and the window was rolled down. Oarlan sat on the passenger seat and said to me, “Miss Leanna, get in the car.”

I took a look at the back door. The black sun film completely isolated the inside and outside of the car. In the bright sunshine, I couldn’t see clearly what was happening in the back seat.

Taking a deep breath, I opened the back door. The moment the door was opened, a gust of cold air rushed out of the car, which made me sweat in the sun for five minutes. I only felt that my whole body trembled.

I looked up and saw a familiar figure sitting behind the driver’s seat.

Edmund, he’s here too!

I haven’t seen him since Myrna appeared that day.

When we meet again, the feeling between us has changed.

he became strange and alienated.

I got in the car and sat next to him. The driver turned to him and asked, “president, where are we going now?”

“Find a cafe.”

“Villa!”

I don’t want to go back to the villa where I lived with him for a period of time. All the sweet memories there have become particularly ironic now.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

But the driver didn’t listen to me. He started the car and drove straight to the villa.

Edmund’s villa is not far from the company, so we will arrive soon.

After getting off the car and entering the house, I didn’t see Sage.

“Well, have a seat. I’m going to make tea.” Oarlan went into the kitchen.

Edmund walked to the sofa and sat down.

I stood beside him and looked at him like that.

I didn’t talk to him first. As time went by, the atmosphere was as cold as ice.

When Oarlan served a cup of steaming tea and found that the atmosphere was not right, he hurried forward to break the stalemate. “Come on, the tea is here.”

Putting the tea on the table, Oarlan continued, “Leanna, why are you standing there like a fool? Come here and sit down.”

“No, thanks. I have only a few words to say. I’ll leave after that.” I cast a cold glance at Oarlan and said.

Oarlan glanced at Edmund, and stepped aside.

I slowly raised my eyes to look at Edmund on the sofa and said, “please show mercy to The Moor family. Don’t make things difficult for them anymore.”

“What else?” He opened his mouth and asked.

Looking at his expressionless face, I felt a lump in my throat. There was some liquid rolling in my eyes, but I refused to let it out.

“And, thank you for taking care of me these days.” This was the second sentence I said, and my voice was choked with sobs.

“In the end, wish you a happy marriage.” This is the third sentence I said. After that, I turned around and was about to leave.

But as soon as I turned around, my wrist was surrounded by a warm heat. When I turned around, I saw his big palm had firmly grasped my wrist.

“Did I allow you to leave?” With a little strength, he pulled me directly in front of him.

His cold eyes were like sharp knives, stabbing directly into my heart.

Anger, yes, this is the only information I can read from his eyes.

But why?

How could he show such an expression?

“If you don’t allow me to leave, will you marry me?” I raised my head and looked straight into his eyes without fear.

“What did you say?” Edmund frowned.

“Do you think I’m daydreaming?” I smiled with self mockery. “Yes, I also know that I don’t deserve to marry you. BOr do you think that a woman like me only needs to spend money?”

“I can’t marry you.” He opened his mouth and said in a low but determined voice.

Hearing this, I nodded, “I see.”

“Isn’t it good to stay with me? I can give you anything except a marriage certificate.”

“But what should I do? I just want that title.” I looked at him with tears in my eyes.

“Leanna, enough is enough!” His tone became cold and hard.

“You are the one who should stop at the right time. Mr. Edmund, since you have decided to marry another woman, why do you have to stay here with me? What you want is just a docile pet. If I leave, there will be another woman to fill the gap, won’t there?” I don’t dare to have any hope for him now.

“Do you really think so?” He looked at me coldly and loosened his grip on my wrist.

When I saw him finally let go of me, I realized that there is no possibility between me and him.

“I can’t pay you back the money my father took from you, but you are so rich, I don’t think you will care about it, right?” Although I really want to have the courage to return the money my father asked from him, I also know very well in my heart that now I’m poor, and I don’t even have a job. Let alone returning the money, I’m afraid that it will be difficult for me to support myself in the future.

Since it’s not enough, just play a trick. I believe he won’t make a fuss about it with me.

“I seem to have told you this a long time ago.” He sat back on the sofa with a cold expression.

“What do you mean?” I looked at him and my heart sank. A bad feeling filled my heart again.

He looked up indifferently, but said nothing.

Taking a deep breath, I nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll pay you back. I’ll work hard to make money and give it back to you.”

“Since you have made up your mind to pay back the money, you can stay here. I need a housekeeper. Isn’t this your good job? The money your father took from me will be deducted from your salary!”

“No, thanks. I’ll find another job.” Even if I have to pay him back, I won’t stay with him.

Edmund sneered, “go outside? How do I know if you will run away?”

“You…” I was too angry to say a word. “Do you still want to restrict my freedom?”

What qualifications does he have to imprison me?

“You can go in and out freely, but you have to work for eight hours every day.”

I’m relieved that he can set me free.

At least eight hours every day, I don’t have to face him.

“Okay, I’ll go to work tomorrow.”

“From today on!” He crossed his legs, picked up a magazine neatly placed on the tea table and opened it.

I was stunned and didn’t know what to do.

From today on?

Isn’t that from now on?

Oarlan came over and said, “come on. The tea is cold. Let me change it for you.”

“Why do you have to do such a thing?” Edmund said in a sharp tone, staring at the magazine.

I held back the tears in my eyes. I walked to the tea table, squatted down, picked up the tea cup on it and went to the kitchen.
