Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 372 Uncontainable Desires
Caught between the squabbling siblings, I felt a wave of dizziness threatening to overtake me."Must you two be so dramatic? To those in the know, you're siblings, but to onlookers, you're like enemies. I think I’m gonna be sick just by listening to you two." I still wasn’t entirely over my morning sickness, and their antics were making me feel nauseous.Mason, catching the distress in my voice, immediately stopped trying to grab Freya. "How are you feeling?" he asked worriedly."I’m fine, but if you two keep it up, I’ll get sick." While their playful bickering was entertaining, being caught in the middle was more than I could handle."We'll tone it down. Here, have some water and sit down." Mason offered me a glass of water.After taking a few sips, the nausea subsided."It’s all your fault that Rina feels sick, Mace!" Freya chided, her concern colored with her usual habit of pinning blame on Mason."Enough, Fae. We’ll settle this later!" Mason glared at her, clearly still upse

"I can’t wait even a minute longer," Jethro asserted with a nonchalance that was almost disarming. He sounded as if he were discussing the weather.Jethro's words left me speechless. I blushed awkwardly and stole a glance at the driver. It was one thing to be impulsive in private, but I wondered how Jethro could be so unabashed with someone within earshot.The driver—a picture of professionalism—kept his eyes on the road. Upon reaching a small fork, he turned off and drove for a while. Once we were a good distance from the main road, he brought the car to a stop. Silently, the driver exited the vehicle and distanced himself with practiced discretion. I was speechless at how well the driver understood the situation. How many times had Jethro done something like this for the driver to act so efficiently?"Now that there’s no one to disturb us, we can start," urged Jethro as he grinned devilishly. In the next moment, he moved closer to me, his jacket already off.I put my hands agains

I wanted to sit up and tidy myself, but Jethro insisted I rest, covering me with his jacket. He then moved to the driver's seat and sped off, leaving the driver far behind."Jethro, the driver hasn't got back into the car yet." I reminded him anxiously.The driver had been waiting outside for quite a while. Surely Jethro hadn't forgotten about him, right?"No need to worry about him. He can find his own way back." Jethro didn't slow down, seemingly unconcerned about leaving the driver stranded.I sighed helplessly. Jethro could be so indifferent at times."Isn't it a bit unfair to him? He's been waiting for quite some time," I pressed, unable to shake off my discomfort with the situation. Unlike Jethro, my heart was soft, and I felt it was very cruel of him to leave the driver behind."Would you prefer I let him see you in your current state?" There was a firm edge in Jethro’s voice as he glanced at me through the rearview mirror, making it clear he prioritized my dignity over an
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 375 Meeting Sean’s Girlfriend
I was agitated, but Mom didn't seem angry. Instead, she was quite amicable. I had expected this from her though."How much do you think you’ll need?" I asked, grappling with my displeasure toward Sean's girlfriend.The wedding date was set, and despite my reservations, I knew backing out wasn't an option. I decided to help, considering a rural wedding wouldn’t be too costly. My savings should cover it."Probably about 100,000," Mom stated a number that staggered me."100,000 dollars?! Are you joking, Mom? What kind of lavish wedding requires that much?"In the countryside, a wedding costing 15,000 or so would be more than adequate. The leap to 100,000 was bewildering and excessive."It's not solely for the wedding. It includes a car purchase as well." Mom’s voice lacked confidence, probably realizing she was asking for too much."A car? If the wedding costs 15,000, why the need for an 85,000 dollar car?" I frowned, feeling a surge of anger.Every time Mom asked for money, it wa
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 376 Gold Digger
"Hi guys! Nice to meet you," Tiffany greeted.I smiled at her while Jethro nodded placidly. Tiffany’s eyes sparkled at the sight of Jethro, and that inadvertently attracted my attention. She had been clearly excited to dine in a 5-star hotel, but ever since seeing Jethro, she had been all googly-eyed. Looking at how excited she was—to the point of seemingly forgetting my existence—my impression of her started to crack. "Let's sit for a bit," Sean said and tugged her toward a seat. I smiled politely and asked, "So, how old are you, Tiffany? What's your family like?"Tiffany hadn't even replied when Sean interjected, "Come on, you guys literally just met. Did you have to ask about those sorts of things so soon?”I shot a glance of quiet exasperation at him. Couldn't he tell? I was trying to test his girlfriend's sincerity here."I was just starting a conversation with the most general topics, Sean. It's not the end of the world, right, Tiffany?""R-Right. I'm 21 this year. My pa
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 377 Break Up Drama
"Th-That's not what I meant! You’ve misunderstood me!" Tiffany said in alarm."If you're genuinely in love with Sean and want to be with him, then that's great. We welcome you to the family. But if you're with him for some other reason other than love, then you should make your exit now. My husband may be rich, but he's not Santa Claus. We’ll help if Sean's ever in genuine trouble, but that doesn't mean we’ll acquiesce to ridiculous demands. Do you understand me?" One should never say yes to even the first of a gold-digger's requests. People like her wouldn’t just stop there."What the hell, Serena?! You can't talk to Tiffany like that!" Sean raised his voice and rushed to her defense as Tiffany turned pale. "Hey, don't take this to heart, okay? Rina’s got this annoying temper so it's not a you-thing. It's a her-thing. But you don't have to worry, okay? She always listens to my parents, and my parents listen to me.” "Sean, let me repeat myself: I'm not buying you a car and neithe
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 378 Jethro Gives Her a Talking-to
"That’s no way to think, Serena. If you back down, you’ll only invite more trouble. Do you really want a sister-in-law who preys on you like the rest of your family?" Jethro pointed out, disagreeing with what I was thinking. "But—""No buts. You have to be firm. You need to learn how to say no!" he cut me off sternly.I swallowed whatever I wanted to say. Jethro was right about this, and I knew it. Just as we arrived home, before I could even get out of the car, Mom called. It wouldn't take a psychic to know what this was going to be about. I shot a quick glance at Jethro, who looked apathetic.I answered the phone. "Mom?""What did you do, Serena?! You said you wanted to get to know Sean’s girlfriend, but all you did was insult her! In front of Sean too!" Mom shrieked, "You just love making your brother's life miserable, don’t you?!"I pulled the phone away from my poor ear. Ugh, I knew Mom was going to be apoplectic."I’m protecting him, Mom. That girl was up to no good. Th
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 379 Mrs. Doris’ Accident
While I was anxious about how Mom would receive Jethro's rebuttals, I still sighed in relief. She now understood why thoughts, right? Jethro had made my stance clear, and he squeezed my hand as though he had sensed my anxiety. Mom stopped calling, and Sean was radio silent, too. It was as if they had faded from existence. This uneased me a little, and at one point, I wondered if I should call Sean and ask about Tiffany. I didn't do it, though. I still thought it was better for them to break up. I was not opposed to my brother starting his own family, but I wanted him to be with someone who truly loved him, and Tiffany was not that person.I thought that was the end of the drama. Little had I known how wrong I was.*I was out on a walk. It was good for a pregnant mother to get some exercise in. The majordomo was on a day's leave that day—she had something important at home to attend to.My phone then rang with a call from Doris. I honestly wished I could just decline her call—not

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
