Semua Bab CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery: Bab 1471 - Bab 1480

Just as Winnie and Jamie thought the topic had passed and had moved on to other conversation, Ben suddenly spoke up. “So, if she’s borrowing all this money, when exactly is she planning to pay it back?”The room fell silent.Winnie looked at her sister, caught in a difficult position. On one side was her sister, and on the other was the man who was her partner, the one she planned to spend her life with. She tried to smooth things over. “My sister isn’t someone who would avoid repaying her debts. Once she’s able, she’ll definitely pay us back.”Ben wasn’t willing to let it go. “And when will she be able to? No offense, but she’s already struggling to cover her child’s medical bills, and after the surgery, there’ll be ongoing care expenses. How exactly is she supposed to pay it back?”This time, Winnie was at a loss for words. She had thought the money was no big deal and that helping her sister wouldn’t impact her and Jack’s life together. But she realized he might not see it tha

Jamie stayed silent, tears streaming down her face. Once she had gathered all the money, Ben threw a piece of clothing at her. "Put it on, right here in front of me."She glanced at it and felt a surge of shame. There was hardly any fabric at all, mostly black lace, sheer and revealing. If this were a moment of intimacy, she might not have minded the outfit as much, but right now, it felt purely degrading.“Aren’t you going to change? Or do you need my help?” Ben’s gaze was unyielding, making her feel exposed. They had been physically close many times, but she couldn’t bring herself to change in front of him like this. Quietly, she asked, “Can I at least change in the other room?”“In your sister’s room, perhaps?” he replied sharply, his patience gone. Without waiting for her consent, he grabbed her shirt and ripped it apart. “I’ll say it again. Change. Now.”She had no choice but to comply. With the living room windows open, she could feel the cold air on her skin, amplifying he

“Send me a picture of what you’re wearing right now.”Just reading the message made Jamie’s skin crawl. Ben was checking up on her but Winnie was right beside her.“Hold on, I’ll take one once I’m back in my room.” Jamie clutched her phone and got up, intending to head upstairs.Winnie, not yet finished chatting, instinctively wanted to follow her. Meanwhile, Jamie’s phone kept buzzing non-stop.“Hey, who’s messaging you so much? Could it be… do I have a future brother-in-law in the picture?” Winnie’s eyes sparkled. She truly wished her sister would find someone to love and care for her. Jamie had taken on so much responsibility for so long.Jamie forced a small smile. “Who’d want someone like me right now?”She had nothing but only a sick son with expensive medical bills. What kind of man would marry her for that?“You never know! If someone truly loves you, he won’t care about your situation. Just look at me and Jack! He has a house and a car, and I came in with nothing. By

Winnie felt a pang of guilt. How could she have doubted Ben's sincerity? “Alright, I’ll let you get back to work,” she said, a bit embarrassed. “We can talk more tonight when you get home.”Ben couldn’t have planned it better. He ended the call, waited in his car until Jamie’s video came through, more revealing than before. Satisfied, he finally tucked his phone away and stepped out of the car.Inside, Mrs. Lucas had prepared an impressive spread, with an empty seat to her left for Ben and to her right, his supposed future wife, Summer Larson.Summer glanced at her watch, clearly anxious, and asked Mrs. Lucas softly, “Mrs. Lucas, do you think Ben might not like me?”It was already late, and Ben still hadn’t arrived. Could he be intentionally avoiding her?Mrs. Lucas noticed Summer Lin glancing at her watch, and her smile softened. Unlike her stern demeanor with Jamie, she spoke to Summer with warmth. “Love can grow with time, dear. You have everything going for you; why wouldn’t h

Ben shook off Summer's hand, quickening his steps.“Ben, if you keep rejecting me so firmly, your mom’s just going to line up more dates for you, and others might not be as easygoing as I am. You’ll end up even more frustrated!” Summer called after him, hurrying to keep up. “Just go along with me for one act. It won’t hurt you and might actually save you some trouble. Why not give it a try?”Ben paused, his mind turning. With Jamie, he had felt like he had the world at his fingertips. No one else ever caught his eye. When she left, he had become obsessed with finding someone like her, and now that she was back, all he wanted was to channel his anger, to confront and torment her. He had no time, let alone interest, for any other woman, even as a pretense.“Just think of it as doing me a favor,” Summer continued, sensing his hesitation. “I really don’t want to be set up with some older, middle-aged guy. Do this for me, and I’ll owe you. Name it, and I’ll make it up to you.” She play
