The pregnant woman finally sensed something was off from my exhausted tone.
She tried to grab her phone back, but Jade blocked her.
Mason just took a second to process that it was me on the other end.
His voice became unnervingly calm, as if he hadn’t done anything wrong.
‘Give her back the phone. We’ll discuss everything else at home.”
Typical Mason–always giving me orders
But Jade couldn’t take it anymore.
She exploded, “Mason, you absolute piece of shit! When you were building your company from nothing, Victoria worked her ass off for you. Her health deteriorated because she was out there hustling for your business deals. Now that her body’s giving out after all these years, you’re just tossing her aside?”
Jade’s temper was on full display. The pregnant woman, sensing trouble, tried to sneak away, but Jade grabbed her
arm.
And you–you little homewrecker–don’t even think about running! Weren’t you so smug just a minute ago? What happened to that attitude now?”
Suddenly, the seemingly fragile pregnant woman let out an ear–piercing scream.
‘Babe… BABE, HELP ME!”
Passersby stopped to watch the drama unfold, some even pulling out their phones to record.
Mason’s voice came through, angry and barely concealing his panic.
‘Let her go!”
That was the second thing he’d said since learning it was me on the phone, and still not a hint of remorse.
I curved my lips into a mocking smile.
‘Mason, don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”
Mason seemed uninterested in playing out some dramatic soap opera scene with me.
He repeated himself, this time with deadly emphasis on each word:
RETRI}}¢ Mistress is Preenant) But His Sperm Count is ZERO!
Chapter 2
“LET. HER. GO.”
My heart felt like it had been smashed with a sledgehammer.
I took a deep breath and placed my hand on Jade’s arm.
“Jade, just let her go.”
But Jade was too caught up in the satisfaction of confronting Mason’s mistress to listen to me.
“Apologize, you little skank! Weren’t you demanding Victoria apologize to you earlier? Not so cocky now, are you?”
She twisted the pregnant woman’s ear a full 360 degrees.
The pregnant woman protected her belly while wailing in pain.
“I’m sorry… please…”
“Stop filming me…”
Her eyes reddened as she let out broken sobs.
NG!
The sound of a fist hitting a desk came through the phone: “Victoria! You fucking touch her and see what happens!”
The outburst even startled Jade.
She looked at me angrily, perhaps noticing how pale my face had become.
Reluctantly, she let go: “Mason, you ungrateful bastard! You’re absolutely heartless!”
Once free, the pregnant woman snatched the phone from my hand.
“Are you okay? Are you hurt?”
Mason was busy comforting his pregnant mistress.
Apparently, he couldn’t care less that I’d caught him cheating.
