Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 277 Do You Enjoy Being Mistreated?
Glancing around the luxurious living room, I felt at a loss. Each extravagant piece highlighted Doris' assumptions about my intentions.I didn't know how to answer her question."Mrs. Doris, I know it's hard for you to change your opinion of me, but I'm not with Jethro for his money. I really love him. Why can't you believe me?"Doris' disbelief stirred a wave of anxiety within me. Despite my earnest explanations, she remained unconvinced."I’ll never believe you no matter what you say. If you had any sense, you'd know the right thing to do. If you insist on clinging to Jethro, then don't blame me for being unkind," she retorted coldly and left.Doris’ dismissal echoed through the apartment, and I stood motionless, feeling terrible. Her purpose today was clear. Her visit was a stark reminder of her unyielding stance, that she would never accept me.Even after her departure, I didn’t feel any lighter. In fact, I felt even more suffocated. I had once believed that Jethro's choice t

Jethro paused at my question, his eyes searching mine for answers."Did she come to see you?"Though he phrased it as a question, there was certainty in his voice. Nothing could escape his discerning eyes.My silence spoke volumes, confirming his suspicion. Seeing my reaction, Jethro’s handsome face darkened, and I could tell he was agitated. He was about to respond when his phone interrupted us. Pulling it out of his pocket and seeing it was his mother calling, his expression grew even grimmer.Doris’ call likely related to her disapproval of our relationship, adding to my unease. I felt nervous, unsure of what decision he would make. I studied Jethro, my hands entwined tightly as I waited anxiously for him to answer the call.Jethro answered the call with a controlled voice. "Yes, Mom?" His tone was neutral, masking his emotions."Come home. We need to talk about Serena." Doris’ sharp demand came from the other end.Hearing his mother's commanding tone, Jethro’s expression sou
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 279 An Unexpected Call
A comforting sense of security enveloped me while I lay in Jethro’s embrace, reinforcing my belief that together we could overcome any obstacle.The days that followed saw Jethro leaving home early and returning late. Despite his demanding schedule, he ensured I was well taken care of, with the housekeepers preparing a variety of dishes for me daily.Due to Doris' disapproval of our relationship, I couldn't shake off a feeling of unease, especially with Jethro's unusual routine. If he was merely busy at the office, he wouldn't be coming home so late every day.One evening, I couldn't hold it in any longer. I waited in the living room for Jethro to return, wanting to know what he had been up to recently. Pregnancy had heightened my emotions, making me more sensitive to these changes.When the clock was about to strike midnight, Jethro finally returned, looking slightly wear for wear. My plans to question him faltered at the sight of his fatigue."Welcome home." I approached, forcin
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 280 Pleading for Reconciliation
"So much time has passed, Liam. There’s no need for your apology, and I don’t need it either. Also, don't contact me ever again."I delivered these words with a finality, then promptly ended the call. Liam no longer stirred any emotion within me. His betrayal had hurt deeply, making me feel like I couldn’t go on. But looking back, I was grateful for it. Without that betrayal, I wouldn't have crossed paths with Jethro.I once thought Liam was the love of my life, but I couldn't have been more mistaken. Only in Jethro's embrace had I discovered the meaning of true love. Though Liam no longer pulled at my heartstrings, receiving his call still soured my mood. He was, after all, the person who had hurt me most.I spent the rest of the day cooped up at home. Feeling suffocated, I decided I needed a change of scenery and made plans to go shopping with Summer.After arranging to meet up, I walked down my apartment building only to be confronted with the last person I expected to see—Liam.
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 281 Harassed
"Are you really that unwilling to give me another chance, Rina? We were together for seven years. Is it that easy to just forget about us?" Liam's desperation was palpable, his eyes mirroring profound sadness.Had he shown such remorse immediately after our breakup, maybe I would’ve softened my heart and forgiven him. But now, deeply in love with Jethro, no man's sweet talk could sway me.Maintaining a stoic demeanor, I said firmly, "I've long moved on, Liam. I don’t love you anymore, so please don’t show up in front of me ever again. What you’re saying now is too late. And besides, you already have Julia."The memory of his and my former best friend’s betrayal still sparked a visceral reaction in me.It was the most repulsive thing I had ever experienced.Liam’s face faltered at the mention of Julia. He reached for my hand, urgently clarifying, "I've already ended things with Julia. I realized it's you that I love. No one else compares. Please come back to me, Rina. I promise, I’l

Since my relationship with Jethro began, his days had been packed with work and wedding planning, leaving us little time to spend together. Confined to home due to my fear of running into Liam, I dared only to venture out if Jethro accompanied me."Sure, let's shop for baby stuff this weekend." Jethro readily agreed, his affection evident in his prompt response.Since we got together, Jethro's attitude toward me changed drastically. Everyone knew about our relationship now, so he was not bothered to hide it anymore. Basking in the warmth of his affectionate gaze, I felt elated. Being by his side would be the happiness of my lifetime.At night, nestled in Jethro’s arms, a contented smile graced my face as I drifted off to sleep.For the next two days, I counted down the minutes and seconds, eagerly awaiting the weekend. When it finally arrived, Jethro and I set out for the department store. As the local Mr. Bigshot, everyone treated him with great respect. Jethro was accustomed to s
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 283 Tense Relations
Anxiety gripped me as I struggled to convince Jethro of my sincerity. There truly was no lingering connection between me and Liam.Jethro stared at me coldly, then suddenly floored the gas. Startled by this sudden movement, I yelped and gripped the armrest tightly. His silence and the car’s speed were alarming, heightening my fear of an accident.My face turned pale as I stared at the road ahead. Jethro eventually slowed down after sending my distress, but his demeanor remained frosty, indicative of his unresolved anger.I lowered my head like a child who had done something wrong. Though Liam’s approach was uninvited, Jethro’s unease was understandable given my past relationship with Liam. I didn't understand why Liam had suddenly contacted me as I truly had nothing to do with him anymore.When we got home, I followed Jethro inside. But as soon as we entered, he turned and left. Watching his retreating figure, I wanted to call out to him, but he was already far away. I knew he was
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 284 Approaching Me With a Hidden Agenda
Jethro's gaze was unnervingly calm, leaving me to grapple over his thoughts. I couldn’t tell if he believed my explanation, and this uncertainty heightened my anxiety.With my head bowed and my fingers nervously twisting the hem of my shirt, the silence stretched on. My anxiety swelled, haunted by the fear that he might be contemplating breaking up with me.Jethro then broke the silence, his voice carrying a note of frustration. "When will you start using your brain, Serena?"His question caught me off guard. Had I been thoughtless in some way?His cryptic words puzzled me, prompting me to look up at him. "What do you mean?" I ventured, seeking clarity from his mysterious comment.Jethro plopped down on the couch, his gaze cold as he said, "Can’t you see that the photo was deliberately taken from that angle? If it were a candid shot, would it have such high clarity and perfect positioning?"Realization dawned on me. "Are you suggesting Liam staged the whole thing?" The thought of

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

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
