Chapter 141

I must have been out of my mind to help Cecilia. Why did I care about her?I should have realized that she would be ungrateful.The man bent down to look for his rope, but I had cut it to free Cecilia earlier. He was frustrated as he held the two broken pieces of rope. I was worried that his anger toward Cecilia might make him snap.“Call Cecilia! Tell that b*tch to come back with the money! If she doesn’t, I’ll kill you!” he shouted.I pulled the cloth out of my mouth. He was so furious that he forgot to tie me up. It was useless to merely gag me.“She won’t come back,” I told him.The man was stunned, and sweat dripped from his forehead. I was telling the truth. No one knew Cecilia better than I did.“I’ll kill you if she doesn’t come back!” He was livid.“If you kill me, you’ll be doing exactly what she wants. Think about it. She asked you to raise your paddle so that my family would have to pay a fortune for the item. We’re enemies. If you kill me, you’ll be playing r

Things were getting interesting.Mary came over and took my hand. “Why are your hands so cold? What’s wrong with Cecilia?”I pointed at the two people arguing. “I heard a bit of their conversation. Mary, do you know the guy who bought the crown at the auction?”Mary shook her head in confusion. “I don’t.”“Well, you can ask Cecilia.”Cecilia was shocked. Not only did the man let me go, but I also brought him here. She panicked and shouted, “Security! Get this person out of here!”This was a public hall. Did she think this was her home?I noticed that Zach was about to go to her. However, Tyler stood beside him and whispered, “Don’t get involved.”With that, Zach did not take another step.The staff were looking for the skinny guy since he had not paid for the crown. They asked him to go to the back to sort out the payment.The man then pointed at Cecilia and said, “She bought it, not me! She hired me to help her with the bid!”Everyone gasped, and Mary was taken aback. She l

In the end, Zach did not answer Cecilia’s calls. But whether he would help her later was anyone’s guess.As I walked back to my room, I overheard Tyler and Mary giving him a lecture in the study.“Zach, you have a wife and a child now. You know exactly what kind of person Cecilia is. She’s nothing but trouble. You need to cut ties with her,” Mary said.I did not want to eavesdrop, but I wanted to hear what Zach would say.As usual, he stayed quiet. That was one of the most annoying things about him.He might be respectful toward Tyler, but once he decided to do something, no one could stop him.Tyler spoke slowly but firmly, “Zach, Wilson Corporation’s problems don’t just revolve around bad business. They reflect what kind of people the Wilsons are. They’re greedy, resistant to change, reckless, and selfish. That’s why they ended up like this. So, their current predicament is a lesson for all of us. I know you want to help, and that would be fine if you were no longer part of the

The look in Zach’s eyes was even more unfathomable in the dim light.I did not care if he believed me. I just needed to speak my mind.“You don’t have to believe me, but I’m telling the truth.”He walked away, but he returned with a first aid kit a moment later.He crouched down in front of me and pulled out some rubbing alcohol.“Stop. I can’t stand the smell. Just a whiff, and I’ll throw up,” I said.He contemplated for a moment. Then, he put the rubbing alcohol away and took out some ointment instead. At least, it smelled a bit better.He rubbed a little on my wrist, and it felt cool. It also had a slight minty scent, which was not too bad.After that, he gently massaged my bruise. It hurt a little, but I could handle it.Zach would be very focused whenever he did something. He seemed like a professional as he gave me a massage.I looked at his nice profile and strong jawline. Then, I said something that ruined the peaceful moment, “Giving me a massage won’t make me help C

The next morning, I woke up to some rustling. I opened my eyes to see Zach changing his clothes with his back to me.He had nice muscles, but I was not a fan anymore.I turned over and calmly said, “Please change in the dressing room or the living room.”“You’re awake?” He must not have turned around. We talked with our backs to each other.“I was sleeping well until the noise you made woke me up.”He did not respond. He finished getting dressed and walked to the door. Just before he left, he said, “I’m going on a business trip for three days.”I did not ask where he was going. I knew that it was for Gordon Corporation because Yonder Trading did not have any upcoming business trips.I pulled the blanket over my head in response, and Zach left.It was hard to believe that we were parents of twins because of the way we behaved. But with two kids, maybe it would be easier to split things up. We could have one kid each?After a while, I heard Zach talking to Mary in the garden bel

Cecilia did have the ability to do that. Mary was impressive, and she could see right through things.She noticed that Zach and I were only pretending to get along. I thought about telling Mary the truth but decided against it.Mary gently patted my hand. “Cassia, you’re sincere, sweet, and caring. Zach isn’t clueless. He just gets really attached. He might think that he’ll always love Cecilia, but one day, he might stop without realizing it.”Mary was extremely sharp. She must have sensed that I was feeling uncertain. That would explain why she was saying all this early in the morning.“Alright, Mrs. Zaffino’s porridge is ready. Should I bring it to you, or are you going downstairs to eat?”“I’ll go down. I don’t want to be treated differently. There are too many eyes on me at home.”“Don’t mind them.” Mary suddenly widened her eyes. “If they’re not happy, they should get pregnant too. In our family, a pregnancy is the biggest deal.”She was really assertive, and she had to be

Austin did not ask me anything about Cameron Hill. He was a thoughtful person, so he stayed quiet to avoid making things awkward. Honestly, I would have told him everything since Zach had not succeeded in signing the contract with Cameron. It was fair competition anyway.I did wonder if he was more interested in Cameron Hill or me. However, I also knew that curiosity could be dangerous, especially for a pregnant woman.Austin and I talked for a bit. But he needed to work after his meal and got annoyed with me hanging around.“You should go back.”I was used to him being like that, so I grabbed my stuff and left. I decided to swing by and check on Hayden. I heard that things had been going well for him ever since he returned to work. As long as I did not trouble him, things would go smoothly for him.He was not in his office, though. Just as I was about to ask the nurses, I overheard them chatting. I listened in and figured it out. A skilled and beautiful surgeon had just r

“No.” Hayden finished his soup and gathered the bowls and utensils. “Give me a second. I’ll wash them for you.”“That’s not necessary. I’ll take them home. The maid will wash them.”“It won’t take long.” Hayden proceeded to wash the dishes, while I leaned on his desk and played with my phone.It was the weekend, and it felt great not having to think about work.Just then, someone knocked on the door. “Come in,” I said. The door opened, and a beautiful woman stood there.As soon as I saw her, I sensed her strong presence. It was as if she had her own theme music and special effects. The wind behind her even blew her skirt up.I could guess who she was. The name “Yulia Lawson” popped into my mind.“Dr. Smith is washing the dishes,” I told her honestly. “You can wait here for a bit.”“My office is next door. Once Dr. Smith is done, please ask him to see me.” She nodded at me before leaving.She was cool—that was my first impression of her.Hayden returned after he washed the d

Chapter 149

Cameron probably had a lot of women around him, but I had never heard him plan to marry any of them.A stepmother meant something different to a child. In fairy tales, the stepmother would often be the villain who caused the princess trouble. As such, it was not surprising for kids to not like their stepmothers.Even though I was curious, I did not ask Rachel what kind of woman Cameron intended to marry. I did not want to upset her.I held her hand and said, “Shall we go out and play?”She eagerly nodded. “I want to ride the giant octopus.”She had become hooked ever since the last time we visited the marine park.“There are places even more fun than the giant octopus.”“Where?”“I’ll take you to a trampoline park, but I can’t play with you. Why don’t I ask Sophie to come play with you?”“Is it really fun?”“Super fun.”As Rachel and I reached the door, I got ready to grab my bag and leave. However, I overheard Mrs. Zaffino talking to Mary, “Mrs. Gordon, Ms. Wilson is outsid

Chapter 150

“No, no, of course not. Gordon Corporation is strong and a leader in its field. West City’s growth depends mainly on Gordon Corporation, so there’s no way you can’t afford eighty million. Mrs. Gordon, there was a misunderstanding yesterday, and I’m here to sincerely apologize.” Cecilia raised the crown higher as if she were presenting something precious.Mary looked at the crown emotionlessly.“You think I wanted to buy this crown because it’s worth eighty million? No, it’s not worth that much. Your actions made it that expensive.” Mary snorted. “But my feelings for my daughter-in-law are worth much more than eighty million. Besides, I don’t want something that’s been passed around. I doubt my daughter-in-law would want it either.”Cecilia lowered her head. She probably wanted to throw the crown back at me.She thought that she was being clever. She thought that Mary would be touched and accept the crown. But how could Mary accept such an expensive gift without giving something in
