Billionaire’s Mistress

I didn’t expect Edmund to be so smart. He suddenly thought of Royston. Surprised, I couldn’t help but ask, “how did you know?”

“Is it strange that I know this?” He sneered and asked.

My expression froze and I immediately reacted.

Yes, it was him who told me about Royston. It means that he has already known something about Eugene.

“Are there any misunderstandings between you and Eugene? Why did he do something bad to you?”

Although Eugene hid himself well in front of Leanna, I could always feel that he was hostile to Edmund.

Their brotherhood was not as good as it seemed.

The meeting was like fire and water.

As the backbone of these two families, their relationship was very important.

If brothers worked together, no one would be their match.

But if they were fighting each other, it was likely that the outsider of Royston would benefit from it in the end.

No matter what position I take, I absolutely don’t want to see such a result.

“Misunderstanding?” A touch of uncertain smile appeared on his face. “Why don’t you ask him?”

Why don’t I ask him?

I have never thought about this question. Although Eugene has been nice to me, taken good care of and respected me since I married Eugene.

But I don’t know why, when I get along with him, I always feel that there is an invisible wall of them. I can’t cross it, and he can’t come over either.

We share the same secret, but we can’t understand each other’s inner world.

I don’t understand him at all.

On the contrary, I feel much more relaxed when facing Edmund.

Maybe it’s because I’ve loved him, so I always unconsciously trust him without reservation.

I always think that no matter what happens, at least he won’t hurt me.

In particular, later, Myrna found me and told me that they got married only because Edmund helped her protect The Fisher group, which made me believe that Edmund was a responsible and responsible man.

So I trust Edmund more.

“Does he treat you well?” He suddenly asked.

Hearing this, I looked up and met his deep eyes.

“Well, he is very kind to me.” I replied in a low voice.

It’s so good that sometimes I even doubt if Eugene wants to marry me just because he wants my child to be his parents’ grandson?

“That’s good.” His tone was indifferent, without any emotion.

“If… I mean if…” I took a deep breath and said with an uneasy expression, “if he does something wrong to you one day, can you… Can you… Let him go?”

“I have let him go this time.” His voice suddenly became cold.

Hearing this, I was stunned.

Let him go this time?

When did it happen?

Did Eugene do something wrong to Edmund?

When I was confused, I found that Edmund was staring at my belly with a sneer.

It suddenly dawned on me that he was referring to the fact that Eugene took me away from him.

“No, it’s not his fault.” Only I know that the baby in my belly is not Eugene’s.

“If not him, then you?” There was a trace of anger in his eyes.

“”Well, even if it’s me, you can blame me for this.” I gritted my teeth and admitted it.

I can’t tell Edmund that the baby in my belly is his. Since he wants to help Myrna first, I can’t let him ruin his plan because of this.

“It seems that you really care about him.”

I didn’t deny it, and I can’t deny it either.

It’s true that I don’t want Eugene to be hurt, but I also don’t want to see them hurt each other.

He stood up and said, “you can go out now. I’ll ask Oarlan to drive you home.”

“”You haven’t promised me yet.” I stood up and walked to him.

I need a promise from him that he won’t hurt Eugene.

He pinched my chin, glared at me and said word by word, “Leanna, don’t push your luck!”

“He is your brother. He has the same blood as you…” I reminded him.

“So what?”

“”He is not in good health. Didn’t the doctor say that if he can’t find a suitable heart source, he might not be able to live until next year?”

“And then?”

“Then?” Looking at his cold face, I suddenly realized that Edmund couldn’t change his mind because of me.

Well, if Edmund was so easily influenced by others, would he still be Edmund?

Giving up persuading him to let go of Eugene, I lowered my head and said, “forget it. Just forget it.”

Turning around, I picked up my bag on the sofa and was about to leave.

But before I could take a step forward, my wrist was grabbed by him.

I turned around and looked at him in confusion. I didn’t understand what he meant.

“Let me drive you home.” He said.

“No, thanks. I can walk by myself.” I refused without hesitation.

“Then you stay here and wait for Eugene to pick you up.” As he spoke, he pushed me down to the sofa and sat down. Without waiting for my permission, he took out his phone and dialed Eugene’s number. “It’s me. Leanna is here. Come and pick her up.”

“Why did you do that? Why did you call him?”

He didn’t say anything. He just looked down at his watch and asked, “how long do you think he will come?”

“What do you mean?” I frowned. Does he know that Eugene is nearby?

He didn’t say anything. “You care about him so much. I want to see if he also cares about you so much.”

“You…” I glared at him and said two words, “boring!”

When we were staring at each other, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

“Mr. President, Royston…” Oarlan walked in.

“Go ahead. What’s the matter?” Edmund asked.

Oarlan quickly withdrew her sight and adjusted her mood. “Well, didn’t you ask me to send the bracelet that was bought at the auction to Royston before? He seems to like it very much and invites you to have dinner tomorrow evening.”

“Oh? Really?” Edmund raised his eyebrows.

When I heard the news, my face suddenly changed.

I was confused. Didn’t Royston just meet Eugene at noon?

Why did he ask Edmund out again?

‘has he decided to cooperate with Eugene on Edmund?

Or was he actually coaxing her on both sides?

When I was thinking hard, the fixed phone on my desk suddenly rang.

Oarlan immediately stood up to answer the phone. “Hello, yes. He’s here. Please invite him in.”

After hanging up the phone, Oarlan reported to Edmund, “president, it’s Second master.”

“I know. You can go out now.” Edmund ordered in a low voice and looked at me again.

Oarlan left the office wisely.

I knew that Eugene was going upstairs, so I stood up immediately and prepared to wait for him at the door.

But as soon as I moved my body, I heard Edmund’s cold voice, “are you so impatient?”

I was stunned by his words. How could I be impatient? I just want to leave here as soon as possible. Sitting side by side with the two of them like this is a torture for me.

“You asked him to pick me up. He’s already here. Can’t I leave now?” Taking a deep breath, I suppressed the depression in my heart, looked at him and asked in reply.

“No.” As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed me, his thin lips firmly falling on my lips.

I was shocked by his sudden move and my brain went blank in an instant.

What was he doing?

Why did this happen all of a sudden?

Was he crazy?

There was a knock on the door.

I knew it was Eugene. I was so scared that I struggled desperately.

But Edmund held me tightly in his arms and pressed his lips against mine.

“”HMM…” I wanted to scream, but my lips were sealed, so I couldn’t make a loud sound at all. I was so anxious that I was sweating.

There were three knocks on the door. Eugene pushed the door open and came in.

When I saw Eugene come in, I bit Edmund’s lips hard.

EEugene’s face turned ghastly pale. She took a few steps forward, rushed to the sofa and pulled me out of Edmund’s arms. She stared at Edmund coldly and said, “Edmund, you’d better explain what you have done to my wife just now.”

“You won’t want to know.” Edmund licked his lower lip with a sneer.

Eugene took a deep breath and tried his best to control his temper. After a long time, he laughed in anger. “Okay, you can play!”

After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.

I knew he was angry, so I hurried to follow him. Before leaving the office, I didn’t forget to look back at Edmund, only to find that his face was no longer complacent as before, but cold.

I don’t understand why Edmund kissed me when he knew that Eugene would go upstairs soon.

Did he do it on purpose to irritate Eugene?

Edmund’s POV

“Boss, they have left.” Oarlan walked up to me and whispered.

“Okay.” I replied lightly.

Oarlan asked in confusion, “Mr. President, why did you tell Mr. President two that Leanna is here? Why did you ask him to pick her up upstairs?”

“Do you know why Leanna came to me today?” I asked in a low voice.

He shook his head, “I don’t know.”

“Eugene has contacted Royston. She knew that Eugene might be against me. She was afraid that I would deal with Eugene, so she came up to plead with him.”

“What? Why is she so stupid? Since she knows that Eugene is going to hurt you, why didn’t she go to persuade Eugene, but instead asked you to let him go?” Oarlan exclaimed.

“Do you think Eugene can defeat me?” I raised my eyebrows and looked at Oarlan. “Do you think he will have a half chance of winning with the help of Royston?”

“The background of Royston is too complicated, and the international financial group will support him…”

“But Leanna doesn’t think so. In her opinion, Eugene is no match for me. She probably can’t persuade Eugene, so she can only come to beg me.”

I don’t know whether I should be happy or sad.

She was such a powerful woman in Leanna’s heart.

“Oh, I see…” Oarlan finally understood. He frowned and continued, “but you are in a bad situation now. Why don’t you make it clear to Leanna?”

“Why should I make it clear? If she is worried about me, I will tell her what’s going on here, which will only make her more worried. If she only cares about Eugene, what’s the point of telling her the truth?”

“Yes, but Mr. President, I always think that Leanna cares about you. You don’t know how much she loved you in the past, but as an outsider, I can see it clearly. She was born in a bad family. If she doesn’t love you very much, how dare she dream of you marrying her? She was so persistent to be your wife before. If it was just for money, she could have agreed to stay by your side and be your lover.” Oarlan analyzed seriously.

“But she finally married Eugene.” This is something I will never forget.

No matter how much Leanna loves me, she chose to marry Eugene. In my opinion, Leanna’s love for me and the baby in her belly will be doubtful.

Oarlan frowned and asked, “did you ask Mister Two to pick her up on purpose to provoke him?”

I shook my head. “I just want Leanna to know why I can’t let Eugene go.”

Leanna didn’t get any guarantee for Eugene on my side. In order to avoid the conflict between us, she would definitely turn to ask Eugene to give up the cooperation with Royston. I deliberately made this scene for Eugene to see. If Eugene really loved Leanna, she would definitely not be able to bear such an stimulation. Therefore, no matter how hard Eugene asked him to stop, he couldn’t do it.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Only in this way can I have a very sufficient reason to kill Eugene.

In the end, even if Leanna wanted to blame her, she could only blame Eugene for her own death, not for my ruthlessness.

After all, it was Eugene who started the fight!

Although the battle will be very difficult, I’m not afraid.

Royston is behind Eugene, but I’m not alone?

I still have The Fisher group!
