Theo darted a glance at me and pulled out his phone to call his assistant. “Keith, come to West Mountain’s ring road to drive a car back.”He wore a dark countenance the whole way back and did not say a word. My anxiety allowed me to ignore the fact that he was angry, and I said, “Theo, if there really was a secondary car accident, there might still be traces of evidence at the scene.”After a very long time, he finally said, “I figured out the same thing. I checked it carefully earlier but didn’t find any trace of evidence.”My heart sank to the bottom of my stomach. Was I supposed to watch Cecilia go to jail and not do anything about it? No. I could not stand doing such a thing.Theo looked at me and after a very long time, he said, “Don’t get too anxious yet. I’ll introduce you to someone later.”“Are we going to see Cecilia?” I leaped up from my seat. I had no interest in anything else besides seeing her.“What could possibly change after you see her?” he looked at me and ask

“Hahaha, this young lady is pretty shrewd, huh? You’re a good judge of character, accepting such a perfect lady as your goddaughter, Petra. Mr. Grant is really lucky to have such a clever and beautiful wife.” Mr. Zach happily raised his glass.Theo stood up and took the wine glass from my hands, giving Mr. Zach a professional smile. “Thank you for the kind words, Mr. Zach. My wife is pregnant and can’t drink, so I’ll toast on her behalf.”“You’re too polite, Mr. Grant. Cheers!” Mr. Zach clinked glasses with Theo with a wide grin.“Alright, you don’t have to worry anymore now. Since Mr. Zach has agreed to help you out, he’ll definitely get everything settled soon. Sit down and have something to eat. You’re pregnant, and you shouldn’t starve yourself.” Petra pulled me to my seat with a smile, sounding just like a loving mother.I finally breathed out a sigh of relief. I softly said, “Thank you, Petra.”She smiled, not saying a word, and turned around to chat with the others.After

When Heidi came in, I was sitting on the couch, sweating profusely and my eyes a little unfocused.“What’s wrong, Wanda?” Frightened, she quickly rushed over.Her voice finally brought me back to reality. I looked up and said in a soft voice, “I’m okay. I was just a little cold earlier. Can you switch the heater off for me and grab me a glass of warm water?”Heidi brought me a glass of warm water and said worriedly, “Maybe I should take you to the hospital. You don’t look so good.”“I’ll be fine in a while. Go ahead and do what you need to do. I’ll rest for a while.” After drinking my water, I weakly laid back down on the sofa.All these years, I had tried to forget that. However, after a single phone call today, all those emotions were flooding back in again.Just then, the phone that I had tossed into a corner started ringing again.I was startled. I instinctively covered my ears in an attempt to block out the sound, but the phone would not stop ringing.I was too afraid to p

“What a coincidence, my girlfriend happens to be here. This will be easy, then. Look, I wasn’t lying!” Xander said to Ginny with a smug look on his face.Ginny looked me up and down before speaking with great certainty, “You’re lying. How can a person like her be good enough for you? She’s not your girlfriend at all.”Was I that bad? I could not help but look at myself.Indeed, because of my pregnancy, I was wearing flats and a loose cotton linen skirt. With my hair pulled up and no makeup on, I must look really old-fashioned and ugly.“I’m not lying to you. Look at her face, she’s the woman in the picture I keep in my wallet.” Xander no longer looked as helpless and anxious but was extremely smug at the moment.Ginny then studied my face carefully for a very long time without saying a word. Then, she harrumphed and walked away with a sad expression.This demon broke the heart of yet another girl. I felt a little guilty. Although I did not say a word from start to finish, I shoul

He paused and fell silent for a very long time before getting out of the bathtub. He pulled a towel and wrapped it around his waist haphazardly before turning around and going out of the bathroom.Upon seeing him leave, my body went limp and I slumped weakly in the bathtub.I sat alone in the bathroom for a long time before I got up, took a brief shower, and dragged my tired body back to the bedroom.I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized that he was not around. I sat on the bed while wiping my hair dry.At this moment, Cecilia gave me a video call.I answered the call and talked to her while half-lying on the bed.“What’s wrong with you? Why do you look so unwell? Why did you let yourself look so horrible?” Cecilia was shocked to see the state I was in.I shook my head without a word.“Where’s Theo? Doesn’t he know that you’re a pregnant lady? Why did he leave you at home all alone? Wait for me, I’m coming over.” Cecilia hung up before I could say anything.Outside the w
