Chapter60
With the order of my mother-in-law, I set out the next morning and went to The Moor’s mansion.
I’m not going to tell my mother that my mother-in-law has asked me to investigate who Rudolf’s mistress is.
I know very well that a person like my mother, who values her own interests, will spare no effort to give out the Lorna if she knows that my mother-in-law has entrusted me with this matter. She will also show a righteous look to exterminate her family and bring her to Whitney to apologize in order to protect herself.
But I don’t want to do that for the time being.
I want to minimize the damage to solve this matter.
And the best way was to stop Lorna from contacting Rudolf from now on. As long as Rudolf returned to his family, Whitney might take him as a fool who was eager for freshness as before and would not dig deeper into it.
The car stopped at the door of the Moor’s mansion.
My mother knew I was coming, so she had been waiting for me at the door.
I’m no longer the poor child that my mother and father didn’t love.
As soon as I met Mother, she looked me up and down with a big smile on her face. Then she nodded and said, “good. Your belly is big, and your figure is not out of shape. It seems that your mother-in-law has taken good care of you.”
I just smiled lightly. After following her into the room, my mother asked the servant to bring me juice, and then pulled me to sit on the sofa and chat.
“Where is Lorna?” I sat there for a while and then asked.
mother pointed to the direction of the second floor and said in a low voice, “I’m afraid she hasn’t got up yet. She is pregnant and sleepy. She doesn’t get up until noon every day.”
“Can I ask the servant to wake her up? I want to talk to her.” I don’t have time to wait for her to wake up until noon.
“”You want to talk to her? I don’t think so. She has a bad temper now. EvenFather is afraid of her. Now that she is protected by someone behind her, she can do whatever she wants.” Mother said with contempt.
“What happened to them? I thought she hated father-in-law. Why did they get together again?” I still can’t figure out why these two people suddenly look at each other.”
Mother looked around and made sure that there was no servant beside her. Then she said in a low voice, “don’t you know? It seems that Otis found something and asked her to explain it clearly. How could she explain it clearly, so Otis wanted to break up with her. Seeing that there was no chance for Otis, your father-in-law chased after her closely. In addition, Father urged her to do so, so she just…”
“So, is it because Otis has given up on her?” If that was the case, then perhaps Lorna didn’t really want to marry Rudolf.
After all, she was a young girl. Who would be willing to be with a man who could be Father?
“Not exactly. In my opinion, she is too vain. Perhaps she envies you for marrying the King family. But in my opinion, Otis deserves it. This is retribution.” When Mother said this, she looked very happy.
Although I heard it, I felt bad in my heart.
Retribution?
Was there really retribution in the world?
My mother noticed that there was something wrong with my expression and couldn’t help feeling guilty.
When I were about to say something, we saw Lorna in pajamas, yawning and coming down from the two floor.
“I thought it was an important guest. It’s you.” As soon as Lorna went downstairs, she walked straight to the sofa and said in a strange tone.
“Lorna, you’re awake. I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare some food for you.” Mother said gently when she saw Lorna.
Lorna only glanced at her lazily. Then she stood up and went to the kitchen.
I can’t stand the change in my mother’s attitude.
At the critical moment, s he was able to yield and withdraw.
“What brings you here?” Lorna gave me an arrogant look and stopped calling me sister as before.
Well, now that she’s in love with Rudolf, why do you flatter me?
“Yes, I have something to tell you.” I looked at her seriously and said.
“What’s the matter?” She asked casually.
“My mother-in-law has already known what happened between you and father-in-law. She asked me to come to you.”. If I want her to give in, I have to give her a head-on blow first and shock her. Then things will be much easier.
Sure enough, as soon as Lorna heard that I came under the order of Whitney, her expression suddenly changed and her eyes showed a trace of timidity.
“Does she know?”
“What do you think? Didn’t father-in-law tell you last night? The two of them had a big fight because of you.” I know that Rudolf must have come to find Lorna as soon as he left home in a rage, so he said that on purpose.
As expected, as soon as I finished speaking, I saw the expression on Lorna’s face become somewhat absent-minded.
But soon, she regained her composure and said, “so what if she knows it’s me? Rudolf likes me. If she is sensible, she will give up her seat.”
“Do you really think you can marry the King family?” I looked at the reckless Lorna and said coldly.
“Of course I can. Why not? Even you are married to the King family.” She was not convinced.
I understand. She is still jealous of my current identity.
“I’m different from you. I married the King family, and it’s Eugene’s legal marriage. What about you? Do you really think that being a mistress can get other people’s respect?”
“Why can’t I? Nowadays, as long as I have money, everyone will respect you. Leanna, I know you are not convinced that I am going to be your new mother-in-law, but no matter how hard you are not convinced, it’s useless. I have no other choice. I’m pregnant.” She said with a frivolous smile on her face.
“You have a way out, why not? As long as you are willing to quit.”
“And then? What about the baby in my womb? Will you quit if you let him be born without a father?”
“I’m just trying to persuade you. If you don’t listen to me, I have no choice.”
I have said what I should say, and I have tried my best to persuade you. I am not a nosy person. If Lorna insists on courting death, I am willing to bury it.
“”Humph, don’t pretend to be kind. You’re just afraid that I’ll marry the King family, aren’t you? I’m telling you, I’m going to marry the King family. Go back and tell your mother-in-law that if she is sensible, she should sign the divorce agreement as soon as possible. Don’t wait until my child is born and bring the child to our house. Then everyone will be embarrassed.” She said arrogantly.
“”Lorna, aren’t you really afraid?” I don’t know where she got the courage and confidence to challenge Whitney.
“What am I afraid of? Is it because Whitney dares to ask someone to come to my house to make trouble for me? Don’t think I’m afraid of her just because her parents are powerful. Now it’s her husband who wants to divorce her. If she is capable, she can lock Rudolf’s heart and let her stop looking for me.”
“In that case, I have nothing to say. I will tell you what you said. Pray for yourself.” There is a hint of threat in my last tone. I hope that Lorna can calm down and think it over.
Standing up, I turned around and was about to leave when Lorna suddenly stopped me. “Leanna, what do you think if Eugene knows that I’m pregnant with father’s child? I heard that his heart is not feeling well.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
I suddenly stopped and turned around, “Lorna, how dare you!”
“How dare I? Why not? Your mother-in-law refused to give me a chance to live, so I will let her son have no way to live.” A ferocious smile appeared on her face.
“If you don’t want Eugene to know about it, you can go back and persuade your mother-in-law to sign the divorce agreement obediently and break up with Rudolf. If you don’t want to make the matter the most embarrassing, the two of them will keep their dignity.”
I didn’t say anything. After taking a look at Lorna’s twisted expression, turned around and walked out of the door.
It was still early to get out of The Moor’s mansion.
On their way back, I passed through the city center and happened to pass by The Fisher group.
I remember that I suddenly disappeared after dinner with Evelyn last time. I haven’t contacted her since then. I should invite her to dinner and apologize to her.
So i asked the driver to stop the car, took out phone and dialed Evelyn’s number.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.
I thought she might be busy, so I asked the driver to park the car in the parking lot, get out of The car and walk towards the Fisher group building.
After explaining what happened last time to her, I promised to buy her a gift as an apology.
? Soon, we went to the shopping mall hand in hand.
Although Evelyn said she wanted to rip me off, when she saw the beautiful bags in the counter were all so expensive, she was reluctant to leave.
So I didn’t buy anything after shopping for a long time.
I know she is always talking big, and she doesn’t have the heart to say it at critical moments, so I made a decision and chose a luxury bag that I think is most suitable for her to put in her arms.
Seeing this, Evelyn shook her head and refused.
“Take it. I should have bought it for you.”
“Leanna, this is t’s so expensive.”
“It doesn’t matter. I can afford a bag. Don’t worry.” I looked at her with a smile. As long as she is happy, I will buy it for her no matter how expensive it is.
She seemed to remember something at this time. She scratched her head with embarrassment and said, “look at me. I almost forget that you’re married to the King family now. You have a lot of money.”
“”Evelyn, it doesn’t matter if I have money or not. I just want you to be happy. I didn’t have money in the past, and you didn’t dislike me. You helped me a lot and gave me half of the bed. Compared with that, a bag is nothing at all.”
“Yes, I cooked instant noodles for you at that time.” As she said, she reached out and touched my belly. “Little guy, do you remember the instant noodles I cooked for you? You were so cute at that time.”
Then we laughed again.
After buying her bag, I took her to the women’s wear department and bought her two exquisite ol clothes. We carried the spoils and went downstairs to have dinner happily.
When we entered the restaurant, the waiter arranged a table by the window for us. Evelyn took the menu and began to order something special.
I looked around unconsciously, only to find a familiar figure coming in from the door and heading straight to the box.
Eugene, why is he here? Was he meeting someone?
When I was staring at Eugene’s back, Evelyn had already ordered the dishes. She waved her hand in front of me and said, “Hey, what are you looking at? I ordered mutton chop, codfish, vegetable salad and dessert for you. Have you finished yet?”
“That’s enough. I can’t eat too much.””Evelyn, do you often come here for dinner?”
“”Often? The food here is very expensive. How can I come here often?” As she spoke, she covered her belly with her hand. “Leanna, please sit down for a while. I need to go to the bathroom.”
“Okay, go ahead. I’ll wait for you.” I nodded and watched her leave.
After Evelyn left, I took out my phone and called my mother-in-law Whitney, telling her that she would have lunch outside instead of going home for lunch.
After reporting my schedule, I put away my phone and waited for Evelyn to come back.
After a while, the waiter began to serve the appetizers.
I checked the time. Evelyn has been in the bathroom for more than ten minutes.
Was she having a stomachache?
When I was thinking about whether call her or not, i saw her walking towards him.
Evelyn returned to her seat, picked up the glass of water in front and drank a lot of water. Then she said mysteriously, “Leanna, guess who I saw when I walked past the corridor of the private room over there?”
“Who is it?”
