Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 265 Anna Was Behind It
I rarely saw Mason have such an expression, and anxiety began to gnaw at my mind. "The man who tried to hit you was a local hooligan who goes by the name Dragnet. He's your standard trash-of-society type—does nothing but gets into fights," Mason began flatly.I was confused. None of these seemed particularly related to me."And then? Is there something else?" I asked. Mason was hesitant. "There is one more…” he trailed off. I rarely saw him like this. Something wasn’t right. "What is it?""I had a few of my people investigate Dragnet. A few days ago, he suddenly received a huge sum of money from…"He stopped again."Anna Satre, isn't it?" I finished coldly.No one else in this entire world hated me enough to do this."Correct."I had suffered from that bitch’s schemes for a long time. I tried to maintain some semblance of peace and tolerate her, but to hurt my unborn child along with me?! She had kicked the hornet's nest!I hated her! I wanted to watch her be destroyed!
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 266 To Ruin a Wedding
Anna's eyes widened in panic, then her rage came. The crowd stared and began to murmur among themselves. Who was I to Jethro? Why was I trying to ruin their wedding? Jethro was no ordinary man, after all. Doris was very unamused.Anna hissed in alarm, "What are you doing here, Serena?! This isn't the time and place for your tantrums!" I wouldn't have done this if she hadn't pushed me. I would’ve just swallowed my pain, watched them get married, and wished them all the best. But that attempted hit changed everything. I hated this woman to my core."I don't give a damn. You two aren’t going to be together!""Bitch! You're trying to ruin our wedding!" Anna snarled.Doris stepped in. Someone as proud as she was wouldn’t possibly tolerate her son's wedding being destroyed, so naturally, she was frosty."Did you forget what you've promised me, Ms. Serena?" she asked."Sorry, ma'am. I'm afraid I can no longer keep that promise," I said.I felt guilty, but I had no other choice.
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 267 An Unprecedented Show of Assertiveness
This was the first time I had ever seen Jethro this stunned. His eyes even seemed to be twinkling. The Jethro I knew always presented himself as stoic and serious, but when I told him about my pregnancy, his eyes…they seemed to shine.Was it joy? Was it excitement?Whatever it was, it was flitting.The crowd's shock, however, was not flitting at all. A woman—who wasn’t the bride—had shown up at Jethro Willow's wedding and announced she was pregnant. The same woman he had openly confessed to had fallen for, to boot.No matter how one spun it, Anna was taking a big, fat L today.Doris strode toward me and sized up my belly. "You're not joking, are you?" she said, her voice quivering."I don't joke about these sorts of things. Here. A report from the hospital."I showed it to Doris, who flipped through the pages and read every line. Anna realized everyone's attention was now on me. She was the bride, but she was suddenly forgotten by the spotlight."Mom, don't listen to her! She

"It’s more like a warning. Stay away from me if you know what's good for you!" I sniped at her in rage."How dare you!" Anna shrieked.She was just about to say more when Jethro suddenly bellowed, "Enough!"We both fell silent. We didn’t want to lose to the other, but when it came to Jethro, we fell in line, suddenly self-conscious of our vulnerabilities. Anna ran to him and grabbed his arm. "You heard the way she talked to me," she said, her voice cracking at the first sign of sobbing. "She ruined our wedding! Only you can do something about this, Jethro. Please!"It was such a good pretense. Those puppy-dog eyes would’ve made any man obey her while comforting her. Unfortunately, it bore no effect on Jethro. He shoved her away. Anna’s eyes widened in pain. "Jethro?" To be treated like that on the day of their supposed wedding must’ve stung. It hurt even more when one remembered just how much Anna loved him. Jethro approached me, his expression dark. My heart trembled."Wh

"You hit me because of her? Because of this bitch?! I'm your fiancee! Not her! I can't believe you're fucking on her side after all the things she did!" Anna screeched. Jethro hated the way Anna described me. His ire was strong enough that even I could feel it. "Shut up about being my fiancee! The wedding’s already canceled! Don't make me repeat myself!" he bellowed, “Get out of here before I decide on anything else!" "Jethro, what’s the meaning of this? Anna is going to be your wife!" Doris stepped in, clearly alarmed. She was pissed, and yet she couldn't afford to lose her composure."I already said the wedding is canceled! Anna’s not my 'anyone' anymore," Jethro repeated himself firmly.He was less cold to his mother, but it didn't make him change his mind. He had never changed his mind for anyone."You can't do this, Jethro. You have to think beyond your selfish reasons. The Sartres are working with us in exchange for this marriage!" Doris reminded him angrily. She didn’t

I didn't know what to do."I'm sorry! I didn't know!" I cried out, shaking.I was so caught up in my rage that I hadn’t realized the weight of my actions. I wouldn't have done it if I knew this was going to happen.Jethro relaxed a little after seeing how panicked I had become. "And your apology means anything now because?" he sneered."I…I'll talk to Anna."I hated it. I hated this with all my heart but I had to. 7 million was too much. Jethro, like he had expected this, commanded, "Don't you dare!" He stormed toward me. My heart quivered. Jethro had always been mercurial, but right now, his mood was downright unpredictable. "Who do you see me as? Someone who can’t keep to his word? I said the wedding's canceled, so that means it’s fucking canceled!""But you said I ruined your wedding and cost you 7 million. The part you didn't say out loud was 'Go find Anna and fix this,' isn't it?" I said, hanging my head.Jethro's words had wounded me. Yes, I made him lose a fortune,
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 271 A Midnight Intruder
No matter what I said, Mason was beyond reasoning. His face contorted into a crazed look, and his grip on my shoulders became tighter and more painful."Stop, Mason! You're hurting me!" I cried out in fear.This intense, angry side of Mason was a stark contrast to his usual lighthearted demeanor, unnervingly reminiscent of Jethro."Tell me why! What does he have that I don’t? Why can’t you even consider my feelings? Why won’t you like me?!" Mason’s voice rose with each word, his hold growing ever tighter.In desperation, I shoved him as hard as I could. Caught off guard, he staggered backward. A wave of guilt washed over me, but I was at a loss for words to soothe him.Mason let out a bitter, mocking laugh in the ensuing strangling silence. The way he was now was completely different from the cheerful Mason I had first met. I found this pained version of him unsettling—a clear indication of the hurt I had caused."I know how you feel about me, but feelings can't be forced. You al

The moment I heard the doorknob turn, I braced myself to face whoever was on the other side. The second the door opened, I swung with all my strength, aiming for a headshot before making a quick escape.However, my attempt at self-defense was instantly thwarted. Before the glass could even make contact, the intruder firmly grasped my wrist. The glass tumbled from my grasp and shattered on the floor. A sharp pain shot through my wrist, drawing a gasp from me."Serena, it’s me!"A man’s voice startled me, and I struggled to break free. But when I recognized it, I turned to look at the person in shock. Seeing Jethro standing there, my fear turned to disbelief."Jethro? What are you doing here?" His unexpected appearance was the last thing I’d anticipated."Why are you hiding behind the door in the middle of the night? Were you planning to murder your future husband?" Jethro quipped, eyeing the broken glass disapprovingly.His joking remark about “murdering your future husband” made

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
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
