Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 386 It Feels Like It’s Over Between Us
Jethro looked like he wanted to step in before the slap hit, but he was too late. The slap hurt, and not just my face, but also my heart. Connor had been so nice to me all this time, and now he was the one slapping me. "We’ve been very kind to you, Serena! Doris might have gone overboard at times, but you didn't have to do this to her. How could you?! You're nothing like you've shown yourself to be. You're not the daughter-in-law I thought you were," Connor snarled in disappointment. It felt like a knife was being twisted into my heart. Connor had supported Jethro and me being together, after all."Connor! She’s pregnant! If anything happens to my great-grandchild, you're not getting away with it!" Raymond bellowed.I was sure Raymond was just as disappointed in me as Connor was. He was only protecting me because of the baby."I’m sorry for acting out, Dad, but my wife's in a coma in the hospital, and it's all her fault! How do you expect me to give a damn if she’s pregnant or
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 387 He Found Out
I hung my head and hoped he would stop prying.Mason suddenly grabbed my hand, looking concerned. "Can you please not lie to your best friend, Rina? You know you can trust me, so why not the truth?"His hands were warm, and the warmth reached my cold, tired heart. But I removed my hand from his. I couldn't be caught dead in such intimacy with someone who wasn’t my husband."I don't know what you mean, Mason. Why would I say it was me if it weren't? You don't seriously think I'm that stupid, right?" I chuckled dryly, my eyes warming despite my placid tone.Mason glanced at my retracted hand. "I don't believe one bit of it. I know you and trust you. I will never believe you'd do such a thing against Aunt Doris." I was touched. If I stayed any longer, I feared he’d figure things out. "Please excuse me. I have things to do.""Wait, I’ll go with you," he said calmly but firmly, "It's dangerous for a woman this late in their pregnancy to be walking around alone.”I didn't reject Maso
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 388 He's Home
Mason's answer annoyed me. He had no concrete proof, and I had just supplied him with it! I mused quietly over how to respond. It took me a long time before I finally said, "Please help me keep this a secret from the Willows."I hated everyone in my family, but I wanted the last thing I did for them to work out. "That's the stupidest thing you could’ve possibly said to me, Rina! Sean hurt someone, and he should get his just desserts! I know the Willows won’t do anything against you, but you're still dooming yourself by shouldering a crime you didn't commit!" Mason cried out, shocked."I know that, but you also know that if Sean admits to his crime, the Willows will screw him as hard as they can. The best solution is to have me shoulder his crime."Rage flashed across Mason's eyes. "You can't keep defending him! What are you going to do if he actually kills someone?!" he yelled. "There won't be a next time. I've left my family behind. But please, Mason, I'm begging you. Please
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 389 Deafening Silence
I laid out the food on the dining table and went to the study. Just thinking about Jethro being inside made my heart race. I stood outside for some time before I knocked. "Come in."I entered and saw Jethro looking at some papers. I suddenly didn't know what to say. He looked up after hearing nothing from me for a while. "What?""I…I prepared some food." "Oh."I was a little disappointed. He used to be so sweet…"I’ll head down first then." It felt as if Jethro and I had lost the conversation commonality we once had. We ate together across the table, but there was none of the feelings between us anymore. All that was left was silence. "Have you been busy? I mean, with work," I said, casting for a topic. "Yes."That was all Jethro said—as if any more words would’ve been a waste of his time. I looked down at my plate and felt glum. I couldn't bear it anymore and looked up, asking frankly, "Is this what we’ve become? Have you ever wondered how we're supposed to continue
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 390 The Baby Is Born
"Just a bit more! We’re almost there!" Jethro exclaimed as he looked over his shoulder at me. All of his apathy toward me had vanished. I couldn't answer him. The pain… It was indescribable. I had expected childbirth to be challenging, but I didn't expect this level of pain. Even clutching the edge of my shirt did nothing to avail it. Jethro had to stop for a bit. There was an accident up ahead, and traffic was held up at the intersection. "Fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck!" he snarled, slamming his fist against the horn. I started to cry out. Jethro, having never seen such a scene before, was clearly frazzled.Seeing the stopped cars ahead made my heart freeze. "Wh-What's happening over there….?""Don't worry. We're close to the hospital!" he declared as he stomped on the accelerator and shot past a red light. He ignored every traffic light from then on.We arrived at the hospital in minutes, but every second of it had been hellish. I felt like I was going insane.Jethro had called
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 391 Jethro Gets Jealous
Jethro tenderly brushed away the tears on my cheeks, whispering to me gently."Can we ever go back to the way we were? Do you not have any love for me anymore?" Tears choked my words as I searched Jethro's eyes for a shred of hope. In the turmoil of labor, he had been my anchor, my strength.A slight furrow formed on Jethro's brow. His momentary silence wrapped my heart in a new layer of sorrow."Now's not the time to dwell on these thoughts. You need to recover from the birth. Let's first focus on getting you well, and then we can address these concerns," he said gently, offering me another spoonful of soup.Jethro’s words were gentle yet evasive, and his avoidance of my question filled me with a sense of loss. It seemed the shadow of Doris' predicament still lingered between us—an invisible thorn in our relationship. As I sipped on the soup, I peered into Jethro’s eyes, wondering if I was being overly demanding. He was being very attentive right now, so perhaps wanting more was s

I acknowledged Mason's departure with a nod, my mind still reeling from his earlier declaration. After he left, the room settled into a quiet tension, Jethro's presence dominating as he interacted with our child."What did Mace say to you?" Jethro finally broke the awkward silence. His voice was calm, betraying no emotion.Recalling Mason's earlier words about wanting to protect the woman he loved, my heart fluttered with unease. I knew I couldn't tell Jethro about that. Our relationship was already strained enough, and if he knew what Mason had said, it would only make things worse."He didn't say much, just came to visit me and the baby and told me to take care of myself," I muttered, my face adorned with a faint smile but feeling somewhat guilty inside. Whenever I lied to Jethro, I was almost always caught."Is that all he said?" Jethro's brows lifted slightly, his voice rising with a hint of probing intensity."Yes, that's all. What else could we have to talk about?" I replied
Easy, Mr. Bigshot Chapter 393 The Divorce Agreement
“A divorce agreement, as stated on the top," Connor replied flatly.These words sent an uncontrollable shiver through my body, igniting a sense of panic within me."Is this really a divorce agreement between Jethro and me? But why, Dad?" I implored, struggling to maintain my composure."Serena, I truly liked you when you first joined our family. I thought you were kind-hearted and a breath of fresh air, but what you did to Doris is unforgivable. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't be lying in the hospital right now, possibly bedridden for life." Connor's voice grew heavy with emotion, clearly indicating the blame he placed on me for Doris' current state.I had assumed responsibility for Doris' accident, so I was prepared to endure their resentment. But the thought of divorcing Jethro and leaving our child was something I couldn't reconcile with.With a trembling voice, I asserted, "Dad, I know you blame me for Mother's condition, and I accept full responsibility. But no matter how

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
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

"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
