Semua Bab Easy, Mr. Bigshot: Bab 261 - Bab 270

Anna pointed a shaking finger at me before I could speak after struggling to my feet.And I was shaking too. I was only human, not a saint. Her provoking me over and over had consequences, and my fury burned as I glared at her. "This is my house! Jethro came to me! Instead of calling me names for seducing him, maybe it's high time you recognize the fact that you're shit at holding his attention or affection! I'm sure you already know at the back of your head that he doesn’t love you!"Anna's eyes widened. She shook even harder, finding the words to throw back at me."You… Do you know the weight of what you're claiming? He was the one who agreed to the wedding! Do you think he’d fucking say yes if he doesn't want to be with me?! You, ending up with Jethro? Get a hold of your delusion, bitch!" she finally countered.That was enough. I wanted her out of my goddamn house."I called you here so that you could haul Jethro out of here. I didn't force myself to call you just to hear you

Mason probably thought I’d use my pregnancy as a means to get Jethro back to me, right? Most people would think that was viable."Mason, things between me and Jethro are over, and I've already decided to take care of the kid alone," I replied pleadingly, "If you still think of me as your friend, please don't tell Jethro anything about this."I wanted Jethro to be with me, that was true, but I wanted him to do so out of genuine love for me. Mason opened his mouth, then closed it again. In the end, he nodded wordlessly. I was relieved. I knew Mason had a habit of running his mouth. He could’ve easily told Jethro."Thank you, Mason. I mean it." "Are you sure? Are you sure that you can never be with him?" I nodded despite the ache the admission caused my heart.Mason looked down. I had never seen him wear such an intense expression before. Then, suddenly, he got up and approached me. He drew closer and closer, and my heart started to hammer. I was panicking a little. "M-Mason?"

I rarely saw Mason have such an expression, and anxiety began to gnaw at my mind. "The man who tried to hit you was a local hooligan who goes by the name Dragnet. He's your standard trash-of-society type—does nothing but gets into fights," Mason began flatly.I was confused. None of these seemed particularly related to me."And then? Is there something else?" I asked. Mason was hesitant. "There is one more…” he trailed off. I rarely saw him like this. Something wasn’t right. "What is it?""I had a few of my people investigate Dragnet. A few days ago, he suddenly received a huge sum of money from…"He stopped again."Anna Satre, isn't it?" I finished coldly.No one else in this entire world hated me enough to do this."Correct."I had suffered from that bitch’s schemes for a long time. I tried to maintain some semblance of peace and tolerate her, but to hurt my unborn child along with me?! She had kicked the hornet's nest!I hated her! I wanted to watch her be destroyed!

This was the first time I had ever seen Jethro this stunned. His eyes even seemed to be twinkling. The Jethro I knew always presented himself as stoic and serious, but when I told him about my pregnancy, his eyes…they seemed to shine.Was it joy? Was it excitement?Whatever it was, it was flitting.The crowd's shock, however, was not flitting at all. A woman—who wasn’t the bride—had shown up at Jethro Willow's wedding and announced she was pregnant. The same woman he had openly confessed to had fallen for, to boot.No matter how one spun it, Anna was taking a big, fat L today.Doris strode toward me and sized up my belly. "You're not joking, are you?" she said, her voice quivering."I don't joke about these sorts of things. Here. A report from the hospital."I showed it to Doris, who flipped through the pages and read every line. Anna realized everyone's attention was now on me. She was the bride, but she was suddenly forgotten by the spotlight."Mom, don't listen to her! She

"You hit me because of her? Because of this bitch?! I'm your fiancee! Not her! I can't believe you're fucking on her side after all the things she did!" Anna screeched. Jethro hated the way Anna described me. His ire was strong enough that even I could feel it. "Shut up about being my fiancee! The wedding’s already canceled! Don't make me repeat myself!" he bellowed, “Get out of here before I decide on anything else!" "Jethro, what’s the meaning of this? Anna is going to be your wife!" Doris stepped in, clearly alarmed. She was pissed, and yet she couldn't afford to lose her composure."I already said the wedding is canceled! Anna’s not my 'anyone' anymore," Jethro repeated himself firmly.He was less cold to his mother, but it didn't make him change his mind. He had never changed his mind for anyone."You can't do this, Jethro. You have to think beyond your selfish reasons. The Sartres are working with us in exchange for this marriage!" Doris reminded him angrily. She didn’t
