Claude looked relieved after hanging up, but his smile instantly froze when he saw me. “S-Serena! Wh-What are you doing here?” His eyes dodged my gaze, telling me everything I needed to know!“I heard everything, buddy,” I said. I got straight to the chase. I wasn’t going to mince my words for a piece of shit. He started panicking again. “Serena, I can expla—”“Hush. You don’t want others overhearing our conversation, do you?” I pointed to the window at the far end of the corridor. “Let’s talk over there.”Claude fell silent, but he followed me nonetheless. I glared at him. “You were calling another woman, weren’t you? And she’s your lover, isn’t she?” I demanded.“...Yes,” he admitted. He knew I knew, so he made the smarter choice. “Please don’t tell Summer about this,” he added pleadingly. “Tell me, who do you actually love? The woman on the phone or my best friend? ‘Cause I’d like you to kindly get the hell away from Summer if you’re not interested in her,” I snarled.C

“Yeah, let me drive you home, Claude. I’m really worried about you,” Summer repeated, pulling his arms into hers and cooing. After what I had said, Claude couldn’t wriggle out of this one. If he rejected her offer again, even she would start suspecting him. He accepted her offer of a ride.After watching them leave and settling the bill, I went back to Summer’s home. I had to prepare myself so that I wouldn’t fumble on my first day on the job. I eyed the clock and noted it was 9. It was likely that Summer would be home late. I was about to retire when the front door opened. Summer was back so soon?I frowned. “You’re back early. Why didn’t you stay with him and enjoy your peaceful time together a little longer?” I teased. “He said he was tired. He shooed me home before I even entered his house. Rina, did I do something wrong? He was pretty cold to me today,” she said sadly.My fury returned in full force. Another excuse to hide his sins? And now Summer thought she had done som
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 27 Seducing Jethro
“What am I gonna do, Summer? I’m 20,000 dollars shy of the cost of the operation. Where am I supposed to get that kind of money in just a few short days? We don’t have insurance, and we aren’t rich…” I blabbered uncontrollably as tears ran down my face. I couldn’t help panicking over Dad.“Don’t cry, honey. You know what doctors are like. They always exaggerate how bad a sickness is. I’m sure it’s not as bad as they make it out to be,” Summer said reassuringly as she hugged me. “Calm down. We’ll come up with something.”I knew she was trying to relieve me from my panic, but I couldn’t stop. Was I going to watch Dad die from this illness?“Rina, you remember Jethro, right? He’s the richest man in the city. You know what that means, right?” Summer suddenly brought up a name I hadn’t heard for a while. I felt my heart skip a beat. I could see hope…and it promptly died. I already told Jethro that we’d be strangers forever. We were even now, so why would he lend me money just because I
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 28 Are You That Hungry?
“What? Did I not satisfy you the last time? Who would’ve thought that an innocent little girl would become this sex-starved? I misjudged you,” he sneered. Jethro’s insults really pushed my buttons. My motives aside, I saw myself as modest and self-respecting. He made me sound like I was debasing myself!My smile vanished. “You know what? I mistook you for someone else.” I turned around, ready to leave.It was then I felt a grip on my wrist.Jethro dragged me into his arms and held me against his chest. He smiled devilishly. “You’re starved for my touch, right? I guess I have no choice but to comply.”I knew this meant that he was agreeing to sleep with me, but I still felt insulted. My pride would not accept being looked down on like this, even if I was pressed for money. God, I regretted looking for him at all.“Just pretend that we didn’t meet. We’ll never see each other again!” I snarled and tried to walk away. He stepped into my path. “You think you can just walk away afte
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 29 Give Me 30,000
Electricity coursed through my veins, but instead of energizing me, it drained me. I don’t know how long it took. All I knew was that it finally ended. With a heavy grunt, Jethro rolled off of me after emptying everything he had. I was too tired to move, so I just closed my eyes and rested. As he lay next to me, he stared at me with an inquisitive look.Finally, he said, “Now, the truth. Why did you come looking for me?”He sounded more demanding, devoid of his earlier gentleness. It was mind-boggling. Perhaps the saying men are two completely different people before and after sex was true. Men really made decisions with their dicks, didn’t they?I wasn’t sure what he was thinking right now, so I decided not to make my motive frank yet.“What about it?” I asked in answer.Jethro stared into my eyes. “Do you really think I’d buy that pathetic excuse you gave in the parking lot? You can’t have fallen so far, right, Serena?” he sneered.I frowned at him. Would it kill him to stop

“What the fuck did you just say?” Did he just call me a slut? But had I done anything to disprove his accusation? I was the one who seduced him. I was the one getting in bed with him despite what I said. My actions didn’t exactly put me in a good position.“Restoring the hymen isn’t a costly procedure these days, is it?” I was enraged. Why was this piece of shit always assuming the worst in people? I might’ve approached him with an ulterior motive, but that didn’t mean he had to imagine me in the worst light possible.It was my first! Jethro was the first man I ever slept with! God, what was wrong with him? Beneath that handsome facade was a hideous heart!“Don’t… Don’t you fucking dare project your shitty thoughts onto someone else,” I snarled. Tears welled up in my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. “Think of me however you like. I’m just a scheming slut to you, right? But you’re wrong. I wouldn’t have sought you out if I weren’t desperate for money.”Jethro frowned, then
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 31 Be Available Whenever I Call
Being called out was embarrassing. I mustered a sheepish smile, grabbed his phone, and entered my number."I'll arrange for your father to be transferred to the best hospital in Arrowdale for surgery tomorrow. You don’t have to worry," Jethro said.This promise chipped away at the imaginary cold wall I had built around him. Perhaps he had a softer side beneath that frosty exterior."Thank you," I whispered with my head bowed and my hands nervously intertwined.Despite Jethro's outrageous demands, he had given me the 30,000 I desperately needed to save my father, so I couldn't find fault with him. There was no such thing as a free lunch, after all.Soon, the car stopped outside Summer's home. Relief washed over me as I reached for the door, but Jethro held me back."Remember to be available whenever I call, and only call me when absolutely necessary," he instructed authoritatively.His dominance unnerved me, but I bit back my retort. "Understood, and rest assured. I won't bother

"You should stop letting work consume you. You're a young lady, There’s no need to push yourself so hard."My mom knew how seriously I took my job and didn't doubt my excuse, simply looking at me concernedly."I know, Mom. I'll take care of myself, don’t worry." I offered my mother a faint smile, feeling slightly guilty inside.The surgery was scheduled for the afternoon, so I spent the morning chatting with my dad. Seeing his graying hair made my heart ache.After I had talked with my dad for a while, my mom pulled me aside and questioned, "Rina, what really happened between you and Liam? Why was the wedding suddenly called off?"I had merely told them the wedding was called off without diving into any specifics. I didn't want to upset them."It's nothing. We just realized we weren't a good match and decided to cancel the wedding."Liam's name made my heart quiver, and I avoided looking at my mom. I had ended things with him, and I didn't want my parents to fret over that unwor

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

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

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

"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

"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

"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
