Semua Bab Easy, Mr. Bigshot: Bab 381 - Bab 390

"I know I did something bad, Rina, but I hadn’t expected things to happen the way they did! I just wanted to make you apologize to Tiffany and then, well, talk about the car thing again. But you weren't there and Mrs. Doris was, and she just kept insulting me! Over and over and over! You have no idea about the nasty shit she said to me, and I lost control of my temper, okay? I pushed her a bit, and…" Sean explained.I knew he had been hiding the truth from me because he was scared, but fear was hardly a justification for a cover-up."It doesn't matter what she said to you. Words can't send someone to a coma! You did! This is a crime and you have to be in jail for this! Don't you know just what sort of things Jethro is capable of? He’ll use all of his resources and power to punish whoever harmed his mother!"Jethro already treated everyone outside his limited circle with apathetic pragmatism. But my brother? He hated Sean to the core. I didn't think Jethro would hold back any punches

“You said you have something to tell me?" Jethro suddenly said softly as though he was worried he would frighten me. "Now's a good time."I gazed into his eyes which were brimming with concern and realized I couldn't say it. So instead, I asked, "If I had done something grave—something horrible, almost like a sin—would you forgive me?"I wrung my hands. I wanted to hear his answer, but yet, I couldn't meet his eyes.Jethro reached out and grabbed my hand tightly. "My wife can do any kind of wrong and it wouldn't bother me. I will always be here for you."I was touched, but his words didn't help. The "wrong" this time was something he would never expect. I returned to silence. I hadn't yet found the best way to confess my "crime," and I honestly rather not ruin one of my precious last few moments with him.We returned to the villa soon enough. He parked the car and smiled at me faintly, but I made no move to get out."Are you okay? You haven't been acting like yourself.""I…I'm s

Jethro looked like he wanted to step in before the slap hit, but he was too late. The slap hurt, and not just my face, but also my heart. Connor had been so nice to me all this time, and now he was the one slapping me. "We’ve been very kind to you, Serena! Doris might have gone overboard at times, but you didn't have to do this to her. How could you?! You're nothing like you've shown yourself to be. You're not the daughter-in-law I thought you were," Connor snarled in disappointment. It felt like a knife was being twisted into my heart. Connor had supported Jethro and me being together, after all."Connor! She’s pregnant! If anything happens to my great-grandchild, you're not getting away with it!" Raymond bellowed.I was sure Raymond was just as disappointed in me as Connor was. He was only protecting me because of the baby."I’m sorry for acting out, Dad, but my wife's in a coma in the hospital, and it's all her fault! How do you expect me to give a damn if she’s pregnant or

Mason's answer annoyed me. He had no concrete proof, and I had just supplied him with it! I mused quietly over how to respond. It took me a long time before I finally said, "Please help me keep this a secret from the Willows."I hated everyone in my family, but I wanted the last thing I did for them to work out. "That's the stupidest thing you could’ve possibly said to me, Rina! Sean hurt someone, and he should get his just desserts! I know the Willows won’t do anything against you, but you're still dooming yourself by shouldering a crime you didn't commit!" Mason cried out, shocked."I know that, but you also know that if Sean admits to his crime, the Willows will screw him as hard as they can. The best solution is to have me shoulder his crime."Rage flashed across Mason's eyes. "You can't keep defending him! What are you going to do if he actually kills someone?!" he yelled. "There won't be a next time. I've left my family behind. But please, Mason, I'm begging you. Please

"Just a bit more! We’re almost there!" Jethro exclaimed as he looked over his shoulder at me. All of his apathy toward me had vanished. I couldn't answer him. The pain… It was indescribable. I had expected childbirth to be challenging, but I didn't expect this level of pain. Even clutching the edge of my shirt did nothing to avail it. Jethro had to stop for a bit. There was an accident up ahead, and traffic was held up at the intersection. "Fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck!" he snarled, slamming his fist against the horn. I started to cry out. Jethro, having never seen such a scene before, was clearly frazzled.Seeing the stopped cars ahead made my heart freeze. "Wh-What's happening over there….?""Don't worry. We're close to the hospital!" he declared as he stomped on the accelerator and shot past a red light. He ignored every traffic light from then on.We arrived at the hospital in minutes, but every second of it had been hellish. I felt like I was going insane.Jethro had called
