Chapter 98 The Conditions of Letting Eddie Go
In the video call, Hellen explained the matter to Lady Jovano. “Hans thinks that the baby belongs to Eddie, so he targeted the Levi Group.”
“You’re divorced!” the old woman retorted. “How dare he pokes his nose into your business?!”
After comforting her mother, Hellen chatted with her grandmother for a while. In the end, she chatted with her uncle, Palmer Thomas for a while.
Palmer had always doted on Hellen. After chatting with her for a while, he asked, “Hellen, is Karlen obedient at your place?”
Hellen laughed, “Karlen is at Tempe University now. I let her live in the villa next to Tempe University. She’s very obedient and didn’t cause any trouble.”
Palmer said, “She is too lively. Take care of her. She will only listen to you.”
Hellen assented.
After hanging up the video call, she specially called Karlen. The little girl’s voice was full of excitement.
“Cousin, I’ve been busy with the school celebration recently. I haven’t been disobedient or causing trouble!”
Hellen said, “Remember to let us know if you need anything.”
“Got it.”
Hellen rested for a while. She snuggled up in her bedroom and watched Prescriptions for All. She didn’t head to Grant’s house until ten in the morning.
She promised to accompany Granny Grant every week, and it was already 11 o’clock when she arrived.
As soon as Hellen entered the living room, she saw Hans on the sofa.
She frowned slightly. By now, the entire city knew that the Grant Group and the Jovano Group were at odds with each other. The two families opposed each other but worked together to work on the project of the Weststadt District.
Hans raised his head to look at her and nodded. He then lowered his head to look at the tablet.
Hellen clicked her tongue in her heart and turned to look in the direction of Granny Grant’s bedroom.
“Where’s Granny Grant?” she asked the butler.
The butler responded respectfully, “She has gone to answer the phone. Please wait a moment, Miss Jovano.”
Hellen sat on the sofa and waited. Her gaze swept over Hans, who was next to her.
No one knew what the man was looking at, but his expression was grim and serious.
After a while, Granny Grant came out of the study, “Hellen!”
Hellen smiled. “Granny Grant.”
For the whole day, Hellen accompanied Granny Grant to talk in the living room, while Hans sat aside to deal with official business.
The Grant Group had a few important documents to review today. After he was done with them, he looked up and saw Hellen’s brilliant smile.
Her smile was flamboyant and Hans narrowed his eyes slightly. She had never smiled so happily in front of him before.
In the past, she was very careful. But after the divorce, she was cold and distant.
After they cooperated, Hellen’s business acumen stunned him. Afterward, when he saved her at the bar, Hellen said they were even.
Since the previous matter had been settled, he thought he might be able to start over again.
But now, Hellen was pregnant with Eddie’s child and he had fallen into Natalie’s trap.
It was obvious that he wanted to get closer, but he was getting further and further away from her.
Hans’ heart was heavy, and the coldness in his eyes was getting heavier and heavier. Few things could get out of his control, but now it seemed that what he wanted most was about to fly away.
At eight o’clock in the evening, after dinner, Granny Grant asked Hans to take her home.
It wasn’t appropriate for Hellen to refuse in front of Granny Grant.
After getting in the car, Hans started the car and drove to leave.
After leaving the two blocks, Hellen’s face grew grim. “Stop the car. I can go back by myself.”
Hans’ expression was calm as he said, “It’s not easy to hail a taxi here.”
“It has nothing to do with you. I will send someone to pick me up,” Hellen said.
Hans felt a surge of anger in his heart for no reason. “Who are you calling? Eddie?”
Hellen frowned. “Hans, can you stop being so childish!”
The car suddenly stopped by the side of the street. Hellen wanted to push the door open but found that it was locked.
She turned her head and said, “Hans!”
Before Hellen could react, the man’s face had already approached her.
Hellen was skilled and was about to push him when Hans grabbed her wrist.
She was worried about the baby in her belly and didn’t dare to make any big moves. She just gritted her teeth and said, “Let me go!”
The man swallowed the rest of her words.
The lingering kiss caused Hellen’s mind to go blank. The scent of a man assaulted her and enveloped her.
Hans kissed her very hard as if he was venting his emotions.
Hellen was furious and wanted to break free, but the back of her head was tightly restrained by Hans’ other hand.
He ground his lips between hers, and even the air between them seemed to thin.
Hellen was so angry that her eyes turned red. She breathed heavily and bit Hans’ lips.
The smell of blood permeated the air. Hans moved his lips slightly and said in a low and mellow voice, “Bite harder, if you can calm down.”
Although his words were humble, his movements were still overbearing.
Hellen was controlled in the seat. She felt that Hans’ lips had moved to her ear and kissed her earlobe.
She shuddered violently and bit Hans’ shoulder. “Let go of me! Hans, don’t force me!”
Her voice was as cold as snow.
Hellen was furious and ashamed. What did this man take her for?
Hans slowly moved his lips away and stared into Hellen’s eyes.
In the dark carriage, both of them were breathing heavily. Hellen was angry.
Hans’ lips curled into a smile.
After a few days of despair and dejection, it was as if there were stars hidden in Hans’ eyes.
“I’ve thought it through.”
Hellen, “What?”
“I definitely won’t let you escape!”
Hans said word by word, “I won’t give you to Eddie!” She could only be his.
Hellen was furious, but the door was locked. She couldn’t leave.
“Hans, you’re crazy! You’re crazy!” Hellen was so angry that the rims of her eyes were slightly red.
Hans started the car and said, “Sit tight. I’ll take you home first.”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Hellen’s temperament was such that she would never let herself suffer a loss.
But today, there was a fire burning in her chest!
This loss was frustrating and infuriating!
She couldn’t beat Hans. Not to mention that she couldn’t resist violently when she was pregnant, even if she wasn’t pregnant, she was still slightly weaker than Hans!
Hans locked the car door and won’t let her get out!
Moreover, she was absent-minded for a moment when he kissed her forcibly.
Hellen felt as though she was about to explode from anger. This man was a scourge, a beast!
When the car arrived at the Jovano’s house, Hans got out of the car and opened the door for Hellen. When she came out, he even considerately blocked the door for her.
Hellen got out of the car with a gloomy face. “Hans, just wait for it!”
Hans stood by the car and looked at Hellen quietly. “Do you want me to let go of the Levi Group?”
Hellen’s footsteps came to a halt. “Are you willing?”
“I can stop targeting the Levi family, but the two points of profit are not enough.”
Hellen’s heart grew angry. “What do you want?”
The moonlight shone on Hans’ shoulder, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face. “If you break up with Eddie, I will let him go.”
Hellen stared at Hans for a few seconds. “Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
“Fine.” Hellen laughed grimly, then returned home.
She had never dated Eddie in the first place. She just wanted Hans to think that the baby belonged to Eddie.
She did not intend to get Eddie into trouble.
This condition was truly a waste of effort.
