Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 198 Merciless Treatment
The pain in my backside was sharp, making me wince. Mom had shoved me with significant force, showing a startling lack of concern for my well-being.Jethro, who until then had maintained a stoic expression, suddenly became icy at the sight of my fall."Enough!" he thundered, his eyes ablaze with fury directed at Mom.Despite being older, Mom was visibly intimidated by Jethro's icy voice. She looked at him with eyes that betrayed a hint of panic."Mr. Jethro, I apologize for causing such a scene." Sensing Jethro's mounting anger, Mom quickly shifted gears, attempting to appease him with an apologetic tone."Settle your family matters at home, not at my company!" Jethro commanded, his voice carrying an authoritative edge. After issuing this firm reprimand, he turned and walked away.I struggled to my feet, still stinging from the pain and overwhelmed with hurt and anger from Mom's shove."Mr. Jethro! Wait! About what I asked you earlier, can you consider it please?" Mom called aft
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 199 Don't Celebrate Too Soon
I sat on the couch, engulfed in my thoughts. When I finally went to the bedroom, Jethro was already asleep. Lying next to him, I found myself restless, my mind burdened with family concerns.The following day at work, I was distracted and unproductive. As soon as the office hours ended, I embarked on a mission to find a suitable house. It was crucial to find an affordable place quickly to ensure Sean had a home after his hospital discharge.After searching near the hospital, I finally found an apartment that fit my budget. It was modest and small, yet it had the necessary amenities, including an accessible bathroom. The rent was 2,500 dollars a month, stretching my financial limits, but I had no choice but to take it.I looked at my nearly empty account with a heavy heart. With my paycheck still days away, I faced the stark reality of potentially going hungry. Years into my career, and here I was, reduced to such straits.In desperation, I reached out to Summer to borrow some money
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 200 An Unexpected Encounter With Ignatz
After completing the discharge procedures, Jethro's secretary transported my family to the apartment I'd managed to rent. Once everything was in order, he left.Immediately after his departure, Mom, visibly dissatisfied with the apartment, confronted me. "This is the apartment you got for us? How do you expect us to live in such a cramped space?" she questioned.The two-bedroom apartment, though modest, was adequate for their needs. However, Mom was far from pleased."Mom, I know it's small, but it’s enough for the three of you. Please, can you make do with it for now?" I said, striving to calm her evident displeasure."Make do? I might be able to, but can Sean? He needs a comfortable environment to recover, and you rented this tiny place? What if he hurts himself on the closely placed furniture?" She pointed at the couch and coffee table in the living room, her tone laced with reproach."Mom, if you aren’t satisfied, perhaps you should look for an apartment yourself. If you can
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 201 What’s up Between Summer and Ignatz?
I guess I could call Ignatz my ex-boyfriend. More importantly, though, I was more surprised at the news that he was now courting Summer. Not that this was bad news. Ignatz was a nice guy. Maybe he and Summer would be good together.The topic proved to be too awkward for Ignatz, who quickly excused himself. "She hasn't actually said anything to me yet, so uh… Yeah, I should go."I could see why he would be embarrassed. My ex-boyfriend falling for my best friend? There was an element of drama there, huh?But I never felt anything for Ignatz. We had only been together because we fit each other's requirements. If his affection toward Summer was genuine, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.I went up the stairs and pressed the doorbell. I hadn't called Summer about my visit, so she was taken aback to see me."You finally thought of me! I thought you'd forgotten all about me by this point!" she grumbled.I hadn't talked to Summer or seen her for a while now, so I felt kinda bad. "There’s no way
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 202 Anna Comes to Confront Me
I was moved. Summer thought the world of me enough that she couldn't bring herself to try out with Ignatz just because he could be counted as my ex. But she didn't have to be worried. Ignatz was never more than a friend to me. "If you like Ignatz, you should give it a go. He's a great catch, and I honestly don't mind the two of you getting together."Summer froze, obviously stunned. "Rina, are you suggesting—?""You're my best friend, Summer. Nothing could make me happier than to see you happy. I didn't feel much for Ignatz anyway. We were only together because we were good enough for each other. There were never genuine romantic sentiments between us," I explained, "So, don't let go of this one chance to be happy just because of me."Honestly, there was a part of me that felt bad for what I did to Ignatz. I broke up with him without giving him a reason. If his affection for Summer was genuine, I wanted them to end up together.Summer considered me in surprise. Her eyes widened
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 203 Not Backing Down
Anna smiled smugly as I spat out, "You looked into me?”I was enraged. How else could she have learned so much about my private affairs?!"I was only trying to learn more about you," she replied, almost cheerily. "What do you want?!" I snarled.If I hadn’t liked her before, I definitely hated her now. "I want you to leave Jethro. Simple as that. I'm his girlfriend. You, well, you're nothing." "And if I refuse?" Initially, I had no intention of ruining her relationship with Jethro, nor did I want to wait around until Jethro terminated our partnership, but Anna investigating me really struck a nerve. I wasn’t going to make her stupid love life easier now."If you leave Jethro, I'll reward you with so much money your family will never be left wanting again. I'm sure you know what the smarter choice is." She waved an empty check in my face.It was a tempting offer, and I needed money, but my dignity meant more than that. I knew how important money was, but the lack of respect
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 204 Jethro Didn’t Come Home
Jethro wasn't on the living room couch. I searched the apartment, but he was nowhere to be found. It looked like he hadn’t gotten home yet.I started preparing dinner. I reasoned that he must be bogged down by work. He was a workaholic, after all.I whipped up something simple—that he nonetheless liked—and laid it out on the table. Sometimes, I wondered if he had gotten so bored of gourmet food that common foods had become more delicious and novel to him. He never seemed to mind how mundane my cooking was.As it got late, Jethro had yet to return, and I started feeling antsy. He could’ve called at least, right? I knew he was in no way obligated to report to me, but I was still mad that he made light of my time and effort.After waiting around a bit longer, I couldn’t stand it any longer and decided to eat without him. I just picked up my spoon when my phone rang. Jethro’s name flashed across the screen. So, he remembered to call me after all.Feeling much more appeased, I answer
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 205 I Love Loving You
"You're right about that. I didn’t get a chance to rest last night," he said unsuspectingly before seemingly going back to sleep.The fact that this explanation was deemed sufficient for him stung me. "You spent the night with Anna, didn't you?" I was hoping Anna lied to me, but I knew it was a false hope before I even said the words. She couldn't possibly have called me using Jethro's number if he hadn’t been with her. "How did you know?" he asked warily. Why was he so wary? Was it because he…?I couldn't believe he had the balls to sound surprised. Didn't he already know what kind of person I was? I closed my eyes and said nothing as tears ran down my cheeks. Unhappy to not get an answer, Jethro turned me toward him. "Don't you dare leave me hanging, Serena—"He then saw the tears. He froze mid-sentence and corrected himself, "Why the hell are you crying? My temper has hardly flared yet.”Jethro sounded almost sympathetic, but I couldn't tell if I was hearing things t

I knew that nothing I said to the contrary was going to convince Jethro otherwise. All he cared about now was protecting his little princess. "Okay then, I'll be waiting for you at home. Don't work overtime tonight, okay?""Got it! I'll be home soon," he agreed smilingly. I was sure he’d have gone home with me straight away if it weren't for work.Doris was already waiting by the time I got home. She looked both excited and assured. "So? Pregnant, right?""You nailed it!" I laughed."Oh dear! Seren’s going to get a sibling soon!" she chirped. I shook my head helplessly. I should’ve been the happiest one, but the Willows were just one-upping me one after another right now. I smiled at Doris. "I'm a little tired, so I'll be in my room.""Go, go. I'll get the housekeeper to make something nutritious for you," Doris replied. Jethro came home a lot earlier than usual. He had a large bouquet of roses with him too. I couldn’t recall when was the last time he gave me flowers."Is thi

Mason chuckled dryly. "Well, well. Working hard, huh? You’re expecting again."I felt guilty for having asked him for help now. It was as if I was putting salt on his wound. I avoided his gaze and decided to go around him. "Umm, if it inconveniences you, then I wouldn't mind joining the line. See ya."He frowned and stepped in my way. He smiled. "I've already made the arrangements, Serena. Just go."Despite his smile, I could tell Mason was simply hiding his feelings. I sighed. I didn't want to hurt him, but he never seemed to change. He kept doing things for me, and I was simultaneously moved and frustrated by his loyalty. But I could only ever love Jethro. I could never reciprocate Mason’s feelings. I silently followed him into the consultation room. A while later, the doctor confirmed that I was pregnant. I felt as though I had soared to the sky, and I wondered how Jethro would feel about this. Mason was by my side the entire time, so naturally, he was privy to the news. I fa
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 583 I Might Be Pregnant
I woke up the next morning feeling like a well-wrung-out-rag. I had gotten home late, and Jethro kept me up till the wee hours of the morning. I had only fallen asleep just before dawn.Restless, I turned to look at Jethro who was deep asleep and felt slightly resentful. He had worn me out last night, yet here he was, sleeping peacefully without a care. I sat up and gently nudged him awake. Even though he had exhausted me, he was the one who had truly exerted himself, so he was certainly even more tired than I was.Jethro opened his eyes groggily, asking sleepily. "What’s wrong?""Do you even have to ask?" I retorted."Did I not satisfy you last night? Well, are you up for more then?" he teased.I stared at him, dumbfounded. Why was he always thinking such thoughts? When had I ever hinted that I wanted another round?Irritated, I shot him a glance and decided to get out of bed to wash up. While I brushed my teeth, I suddenly felt a wave of nausea. I found this strange. I hadn't e
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 582 In His Warm Care
Jethro’s anger ebbed away upon hearing my words, though his face continued to carry a trace of annoyance."That's more like it. Remember, if this happens again, you’re never leaving the house ever again," he warned.I wasn't upset that he was angry. I understood it was because he cared about me. I would’ve felt the same if the roles were reversed. After all, worry was a byproduct of care."Were you waiting up for me?" I asked, realizing Jethro was still up in the living room though it was well past two in the morning."What else would I be doing?" he replied in a mix of irritation and relief."Geez, I've already apologized. Let's not dwell on this," I responded playfully, trying to defuse the tension. "Let's head to bed. I'm exhausted," I suggested, more than ready to end the evening. Taking his hand, I led us toward the bedroom.Sensing my weariness, Jethro followed without further comment. After a soothing shower, I felt much better despite the physical exhaustion. My mood, how
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 581 Threatening Jolene
"You just implied that it wouldn’t matter if you faced such trauma again. If that's what you think, I might as well help it happen!" I said to Jolene, purposefully using harsh words to instill fear in her. My goal was to shock her into realizing the gravity of her actions. My real concern was for Evelyn—Jolene’s recklessness was causing Evelyn undue stress."Let me go, Serena! You’re insane!" Jolene protested, but I continued to tug at her, undeterred by her panic and anger. I wanted to teach her a lesson for her lack of empathy and respect."I'm the crazy one? It seems like you’re the one who has lost your mind, Jolene! Can’t you see what you’re doing to your mom? If you can’t handle life's challenges, then stop causing her pain!" Driven by frustration, I dragged her outside.Jolene then managed to break free, retreating and glaring at me fearfully. "Get the hell away from me! I don't wanna see you!" she yelled, visibly shaken.Seeing her sufficiently alarmed, I stopped, fixing he
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 580 Slapping Jolene
"Seeing Jojo like this is breaking my heart.” Evelyn held my hand, her face marked by deep sorrow."I know you're upset, but don't worry, I'll talk some sense into her." Seeing Evelyn's distress, I felt uneasy. Though I was reluctant to interfere in Jolene's life, I couldn't ignore Evelyn's pain.I waited at Evelyn's house until late at night before Jolene finally returned. It was almost one in the morning, and my irritation surged upon seeing her. Jolene, reeking of alcohol, was a far cry from her former self. Her transformation was stark. Dressed provocatively and caked in heavy makeup, she resembled a hooker more than a member of a respectable family.I marched over to her "Jolene," I called out, unable to hide my annoyance.She stopped and faced me. She asked in a hostile tone, "What are you doing here at this hour?""Waiting for you." I faced her with a frosty demeanor."Waiting for me? I'm tired and have no interest in talking to you." Impatiently, Jolene turned to head ups
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 579 Lianna's Departure
Lianna stared at Jethro tearfully, her voice laden with pain. "But I still love you. You once promised to love me forever. Why has that promise changed?""I might still harbor those feelings if we hadn't parted ways. But time changes emotions, and what we had can't be rekindled," Jethro replied, his tone reflecting a seriousness I hadn't seen in him before."Don't leave me, Jethro, please. I know I was wrong to leave you for money. Give me another chance. I can bring back the love we once had,” Lianna pleaded, clutching at Jethro's arm.Standing by the sidelines, I watched the scene expressionlessly. I wasn't worried because I knew Jethro would never return to her. His heart belonged to me now.Jethro withdrew his arm, and his gaze toward Lianna was cold and distant. "I’ve said all there is to say. Our relationship ends here. From now on, please stay out of my life. Stop bothering me," he stated firmly, then took my hand and walked out of the room, leaving Lianna behind.In the ca
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 578 The Result of the Paternity Test
The blood test was swiftly completed, but we had to wait three days for the paternity test results. Mason assured us he would notify us as soon as they were out.As Jethro and I were leaving the hospital, Lianna suddenly called out, "Jethro!” Her face was pale and her eyes filled with sadness."What else do you want?" Jethro asked in a detached tone.Lianna glanced at me, then continued, "I just want to ask you one thing. If Robin is your son, will you acknowledge him? Have you ever considered accepting us back into your life?""If he's my child, I'll take responsibility. But if not, please stay out of my life forever."Jethro was extremely serious as he spoke, his gaze toward Lianna emotionless. Her tears flowed as she listened to him, her expression becoming even more pained."Fine. If he isn’t your child, I’ll leave with him. But I’m certain he’s your child because you're the only man I've ever been with!" After saying this emotionally charged statement, Lianna sped off.Watc
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 577 Doing the Paternity Test
"Are you being completely honest, Rina? You're not covering for this brat, are you? If he has an illegitimate child, I'll break his legs!" Raymond's gaze shifted to me, his disbelief apparent.I was taken aback by Raymond's words but also felt a sense of solidarity. It was clear he was supporting me."It’s the truth, Grandpa. I guarantee that the child Lianna has isn’t Jethro's. If you doubt him, surely you’ll believe me, right? If that boy were Jethro’s, would I be calmly discussing this with you now?" I said."Then we'll wait for the test results.” Seemingly somewhat convinced by my assurance, he gave Jethro a cold snort and looked away.Jethro frowned, clearly unhappy, but he remained silent. Witnessing the family's united front against him was oddly gratifying for me. Back in our bedroom, I felt pretty upbeat and couldn’t help humming a tune. Though Lianna's child wasn’t Jethro's, the recent tensions had weighed on me heavily. Seeing the family rally around me felt like a small
