Semua Bab The Billionaire's Plump Chef : Bab 21 - Bab 30

Marie Sue I sneaked into the office and found Lydia. She had saved a spot for me beside her.“I've been trying to reach you all morning,”she whispered.“I'll explain,” I whispered back. “What's going on?”She shrugged. “Kylie has an important announcement. I don't know why she has us all cramped in her office for that.”I looked around her office. Oh, I knew why. Kylie loved power and she liked to show that she was in charge any opportunity she got. There was a large portrait of her son in her office that wasn't there the last time I was there. He looked cute. I caught the image of Kennedy in the corner with his usual trio. He looked gravely serious and although his face was handsome, it wasn't pleasant to look at.I leaned towards Lydia. “Kennedy is so serious,” I said, mimicking his serious face.She glanced at him briefly before she looked away. “Get serious, Marie.”I raised an eyebrow. Whatever bug had come over Lydia, it had to be gone soon.“I was just teasing,” I said, lean

Kylie I got the call from Steven's school that he had collapsed. It took me back to that morning when he was born and the doctor announced that he had a defective heart.As I hurried down to the emergency room, it reinforced my ambition again. What I was doing was to save my son's life. I could not afford to fail.The doctor said Steven may need a new heart before he turns 30. I imagined it would be hard if my son was not in a place of power and prestige by that time. And so, I had to fight by all means to make sure Steven gets what is his.I jumped the traffic light twice and blared my horn at those who were blaring their horns at me. I was in no mood for any rules or regulations.When I got to the ER, I was like a mad woman, and I then tried reaching Arnold to no avail.Steven was lying in bed, connected to a machine that was keeping him alive, with many tubes entering into his body at different points. It was a hard sight to see.I met Dr. Tasha, the same doctor that had diagnosed

KylieMarie Sue was nothing like family. She was a leech, a terrible leech that wouldn't go away.It was unfortunate that Lara couldn't see that she was a leech. She had no place in our family or in the hospital.Her presence was irritating me, and I was trying my best not to look too irritated in front of Lara."Are you still hoping that Jordan will be interested in her?" I asked.She bobbed her head sideways and hummed a bit. "Well, Jordan is his own man. I would advise him what's best for him, but it's left to him."I looked at Marie Sue and then at her. "Why? So you think she is the best person for Jordan? Do you know something special about her? Because she looks ordinary to me.”I owned a BA in two different universities before I turned 23. That was something special. "Oh, I know that she is special, and she saved my life," she replied.I was done talking about Marie Sue. I was already irritated that she was getting all the attention when the whole family was gathered here beca

Marie Sue I had not spent much time with Jordan Kensington, but I had never seen him that angry before. His jaw clenched, and his face turned red as soon as he saw his father.I didn't know much about the man, but from what I had observed, he was separated from Lara. They were still married on paper, though. From Jordan's reaction, I could tell that all was not well at home.One moment, he was letting his guard down and laughing as we pretended to be busy. The next moment, he was steaming hot with anger.I looked toward where the family was gathered, and my eyes fell on Lara. I could tell that she was uncomfortable. Yet when the camera faced her, she smiled brightly, as though everything was fine.I couldn't imagine being in a situation where I was unhappy and had to pretend to the world that I was happy. That seemed like such a sad place to be.I shifted the weight from one side of my body to the other and almost wished I could disappear. I didn't want to be there to witness whateve

JordanI got to my car and sat behind the wheel, but I didn't drive off. Maybe I was considering going back inside to give Steven Kensington a piece of my mind. He was just a selfish piece of shit who could not think of anyone but himself.First, he brought the media to cover his grandson's surgery to save his failed political career. Then he brought his side chick to the hospital where his entire family was.I clenched my fists and punched the steering wheel.When we were younger, I understood it. I understood why she stayed. She stayed for us. That was what she said.Now they are separated. Why did she have to pretend to the public like they were still together?"I need a united family to win the election," he had said one morning.If he wanted a united family, then he would have made us one.The first time I saw Lara crying, I was just eight years old. She was in the kitchen cooking when I heard her sobbing.I wanted to check in on her, but when I got to the door, I realized she wa
