LOGINJust then, Tina walked in from the doorway and leaned against the wall, watching her coldly. "Pregnancy isn't all that great, is it? Must be uncomfortable, right?"Chloe Bishop frowned, turned her head, and snapped, "Tina! What the hell is wrong with you?"Tina never expected to be cursed at. She stared at her in disbelief. "How dare you curse me?!"Chloe Bishop: "I never curse people—but I've never been merciful to those who aren't even human."She brushed past her, her eyes cold and sharp. "If you're bored, go find your little friends. Don't waste your time on me. Do you think everyone is your mother—indulging and spoiling you? What are you trying to prove by putting on airs with me? I'm the one who's pregnant, not you. I'm the one who got married, not you. That mouth of yours really needs to be taught some manners!"She turned to leave, but Tina stuck her foot out and tripped her!Caught off guard, Chloe Bishop stumbled forward—and fell straight into someone's arms.Trembling with
Unbidden, the image of Xavier entering the hotel with another woman flashed through her mind. Her hand slowly clenched. "Yes, I'm a rich man's plaything. But I landed one. Can you? Aren't you still single? Don't you still lack the wealth you want?"She smiled at her. "So when you say all this, aren't you just admitting you're jealous of me?"Tina shot to her feet and pointed at her arrogantly. "Pfft! Who's jealous of you? Just looking at you makes me sick! You're nothing but a rich man's toy—don't act like you're some saint. You think Xavier won't find someone younger and prettier? Who'd want you then? Men cheat the most during pregnancy, so you'd better hold onto him tight—or else, when he becomes someone else's man, you'll be the one crying."With that, she turned to leave—but Chloe Bishop called her back. "You don't need to worry about that. If you're leaving now, are you still taking me to Grandma? Otherwise, just tell me the restaurant name and I'll go myself."Tina didn't dare l
"Wait a minute—who taught you to shut the door on someone while they're still talking? Your mother?"Chloe Bishop's gaze turned razor-sharp. She slapped Tina across the face and gritted her teeth. "Your lack of manners doesn't mean others lack them. Show some respect."Tina turned her head from the blow, her face a mask of disbelief, eyes reddening."You—you actually hit me?!"She raised her hand to strike back.But Chloe Bishop caught her wrist."Can't win an argument, so you want to hit me? That slap was a lesson. If you dare touch me today, I'll tell Grandma about this!"Tina didn't dare push further—she knew she was in the wrong. She'd been the one running her mouth first.She frowned and backed away two steps. "What's so great about you? All you ever do is bring up Grandma! Do you have anyone else besides her?"Chloe Bishop crossed her arms and looked at her coldly. "If you want to find out, feel free to try. Just don't come crying to me afterward—I won't be as lenient then."Tin
"How about I take you to the hospital tomorrow?""No need to go to all that trouble. I can go myself. You stay here."Xavier refused. "I'm the baby's father. How can I be irresponsible?"At those words, Chloe Bishop's face darkened. Her eyes locked onto him, filled with an unspoken meaning—deep and sorrowful.Xavier had long sensed something was off. He cupped her face and gently pressed a kiss to her lips."What's really going on?"Chloe Bishop: "Nothing. I'm tired. I'm going to sleep."She pulled the covers over her head. Xavier sat there, staring blankly at her.He decided to chalk it up to her not feeling well.At the Taylor household.Nadia sat on the bed watching TV. She'd been exhausted these past few days, and her complexion showed it.She rubbed her temples and let out a long sigh.Just then, Emma walked in, carrying a glass of water.She set it on the table and sat beside her. "Have some water. You haven't seemed well lately."Nadia rubbed her temples again and waved a hand
Zendaya wiped her tears. "Forget it. You're not even in Haicheng. What's the point of telling you?"She hung up.Scarlett Johnson stared at her phone in disbelief and shook her head helplessly.After hanging up, Zendaya drove to her private villa—the only place she had to herself.She ran upstairs and collapsed onto the bed.In the end, she had nothing left. Absolutely nothing.Meanwhile, back in Europe.Chloe Bishop had sat in the café for over an hour when she finally saw the woman walk out.Without a second thought, she grabbed her bag and stood up to leave.During that hour of waiting, she'd already finished the food she'd ordered. But just as she was about to step out, she paused.She turned back to a nearby waiter. "What do you have that's quick to make?"The waiter gave a slight bow. "We have fries or cake."Chloe Bishop nodded. "Give me one of each."The waiter nodded and left.Within three minutes, everything was packed and ready. Chloe Bishop took the bag and headed back to
At this rate, his company would go under within a month.Meanwhile, Zendaya received a multimedia message on her phone. Curious, she opened it and saw a girl who bore a striking seven-out-of-ten resemblance to her. Her brows furrowed.Below the photo was a caption: "Yasmin, age fifteen, born in Brookfield. Currently attending Normal University."Zendaya didn't understand the meaning behind the message at first.But she wasn't stupid. She stared at the photo again and sensed something was off.She ran downstairs and went straight to her father.Shoving her phone in front of him, she demanded, "Dad, what is this?"Raymond, already in a foul mood, slapped her hand away in anger."Look at this! Look at that! When will you ever have pity on your old man and stop causing trouble?!"Now he was blaming everything on Zendaya, which only fueled her anger."Who is Yasmin?"The moment she said the name, her father's face went pale.He shot his head up, staring at her in disbelief. "How do you kno
Outside the Operating Room.Chloe sat on a plastic chair, still wearing her million-dollar designer wedding dress. She was trembling, sitting as still as a lifeless mannequin. The dress, once pure and white, was now stained with dark, wet patches of blood. Against the crimson stains, her skin looke
Chloe pinched the tiny scrap of black lace between her fingers, her expression filled with pure skepticism. "Are you serious? Is this even wearable?"Wouldn't just pinning him down be faster and more efficient? she thought.Bella rolled her eyes at Chloe’s lack of romantic vision. "What do you know
“Have you found out who did this yet?”Liam Martin’s usually handsome, refined face was currently shrouded in a dark, suffocating shadow. He looked cold and lethal—the literal personification of the calm before a devastating storm.At twenty-four, Liam had spent the last six years clawing his way t
“Where am I?”Chloe Bishop bolted upright, her head spinning with a sickening heaviness. The room was cold, sterile, and completely unfamiliar. She scrambled to get out of bed, her heart hammering against her ribs. She couldn't be here. Tomorrow was her wedding day—the day she would finally marry L
