Chapter 85
“Why did you say yes? What good will it do to you? Just to revenge on me?” Will you pay too much to marry a woman you don’t love and have your brother’s child to revenge on me?
“As I said, revenge is just one of the reasons, and more importantly, it is also the reason why I have to do so. It is because grandpa has made a condition that I can’t refuse.” Said Eugene.
“What condition?”
“He said that as long as I was willing to marry Leanna, he would be willing to use all the resources he had to find me a suitable heart.” When he said this, there was an incomparably sarcastic smile on his face, “Can you imagine what our grandfather said? It turns out that he has always been able to save me. But because of you, he is afraid that I will be a stumbling block for you to inherit the group, so he just watched me suffer from illness every day and doesn’t want to save me. His plan is really good. He let me marry Leanna. On one hand, he wanted to separate you two. On the other hand, the child in Leanna’s belly is still named King and hasn’t been outside. Third, as long as I’m alive, you and Leanna will never be together. Even if I die, you won’t be together in a short time. Do you think there is anyone in the world who is more calculating than our grandfather? Can I refuse him? ”
After hearing what he said, I took a deep breath and my face was ghastly pale.
Eugene continued, “Leanna is a very cute and pitiful woman. She is just like a pawn played by us. She doesn’t know the dirty deal behind us. She is just a fool. She wants to find a father for her child and let him grow up in a complete family. At first, I did want to use her to stimulate you and revenge on you. But after I got in touch with her, I found that she has a unique temperament, which makes people feel lonely. She was really stupid. She couldn’t bear to give up her mother and her father who had abandoned her. This stupid woman. Even if she married me, she has never forgotten you in her heart. For several times, I tried to fulfill your wish, so I went to Royston. I took a fancy to his underworld background in England. I wanted him to help me find a suitable heart, so that I wouldn’t have to be used by old master to pin you down, and I could completely get rid of the King family. But unfortunately, as soon as I connected to Royston, Leanna found out. She thought I was going to hurt you, so she told you about it… ”
I listened to him quietly. After a long time, I said slowly, “in fact, Royston told me about it. I stopped him.”
“Really?” Hearing that, he was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. “So, everything is fate. Think about it. If you didn’t stop Royston at that time, he helped me find a suitable heart, and I successfully completed the heart transplant, and then broke off the engagement with Leanna. Why did she have to go abroad alone, give birth to the child, and raise her alone? Edmund, after all, you are the one who hurt her the most and made her suffer the most.”
“So I can’t let her be wronged in the future. I want to give her the best.” Only in this way can I live up to the hardships she has suffered for me.
“The best?” He repeated the sentence, “yes, for her, only you can give her the best.”
“Are you determined not to go back to the King family?” I collected myself and looked at him seriously.
He shook his head with a trace of weariness on his face. “I don’t want to be the second son of the for the rest of my life. If I go back one day, there is only one possibility. Edmund, listen up. I know that Leanna is not happy with you. By that time, I will go back and take her back from you.”
“Don’t worry. That day will never come.” I sneered.
“That’s good. I still want to say that if you want to be with her for a long time, don’t take her back to the King family, and don’t let her have anything to do with the King family.” Eugene said.
“It’s none of your business.” After saying that, I picked up the half bottle of beer on the table, raised my head and drank it up.
“You… Take care!” I stood up and looked at Eugene’s side face.
“Brother…” he looked back at me with a smile on his face. “You too!”
His words awakened the softest memory in my heart. At that moment, we seemed to go back to our childhood. Two naughty children slipped into grandpa’s cellar and stole wine
At that time, our relationship was so good.
I will protect grandpa as his elder brother when he scolds us.
He would comfort me not to cry when I was scolded.
We used to be brothers. We have gone through a lot, and now we finally become brothers again.
Leanna’s POV
Since I knew that Eugene is still alive, my mood has been ups and downs.
I wanted to see Eugene, but no one answered my call to Sheila.
I called Edmund, but he just comforted me and told me not to think too much. He would take care of everything.
Because of the emotional fluctuation and pregnancy reaction, my body was a little unbearable, and I almost fainted at the door of the bathroom once.
The doctor told me to have a good rest and keep me relaxed.
In order to make my baby grow up healthily, I have to force myself not to think about everything about Eugene.
Time passed slowly.
This morning, after breakfast, I was taking a walk in the courtyard accompanied by a nurse.
As soon as I finished my steps and walked into the living room, I saw my mother walking directly to me with the Cedric phone in her hand. She grabbed my hand and walked into the bedroom.
“What are you doing?”
“Follow me to the bedroom. I have something to ask you.” She said as she walked.
After entering the bedroom, she locked the door with her own hands and looked at me. “Leanna, tell me, who is your current husband?”
“Why do you suddenly ask this?” I looked at the phone in her hand and guessed that she might have known something.
“If I don’t ask, you will die without knowing how.” As she spoke, she turned on her phone and pointed at the photo. “Tell me the truth. Is the person in the photo Edmund? What’s your relationship with him?”
I saw that she found out and knew that I couldn’t hide it from her, so I reached out to take the phone. “He is my husband now.”
Hearing this, mother closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “How could you… Stop saying anything. Pack up and go with me.”
“Why?” I looked at her and refused to leave.
“Why? Do you think Eugene is still alive? If he knows that you have married his brother, what do you think he will do? Have you forgotten the lesson from Lorna?” She looked as if she was facing a formidable enemy.
“What does this have to do with Jiang Lorna?”
“Yes, it has nothing to do with Lorna. But do you know why the car accident happened to Lorna, which not only caused the loss of the baby in her womb, but also caused her womb to be cut off? Can’t she be a mother for the rest of her life?”
I know it, but I still don’t understand. What does it have to do with me.
“Didn’t she have an accident?”
“An accident? Do you really believe it? So coincidentally, the car accident happened to her?” She sneered.
“What do you mean? Did someone arrange the car accident?” When I thought of this possibility, my scalp tingled.
“You are not that stupid. Let me tell you the truth. Eugene arranged the car accident.”
“No… it’s impossible… How could Eugene do such a cruel thing?” I can’t believe what I heard.
“Nothing is impossible. It took me more than 200000 dollars to pry open the driver’s mouth. It was him who told me. Can it be false? He can’t find anyone to slander him, can he? Think about it. Lorna was pregnant with his father’s child before, and he could kill her. Now you are pregnant with his brother’s child and cheat on him. Can he let you go?”
Her words shocked me. The car accident of Lorna was arranged by Eugene.
Was that true?
But if it was not true, why was her mother so nervous now?
But even if it’s true, I believe that Eugene won’t do such a thing to me.
After all, he knows that I only love Edmund from the beginning to the end.
“I don’t care whether what you said is true or not. Even if it is true, Eugene won’t do that to me. He knows what happened between me and Edmund.”
“What? What do you mean? Have you been with Edmund before this?” Her mother asked in surprise.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“Yes. Before I married Eugene, I was with Edmund. Eugene also knew that. Later, Edmund wanted to marry Myrna, so Eugene decided to marry me. Do you understand? So, Eugene won’t take revenge on me because I am with Edmund.” I just told her my relationship with Edmund and Eugene.
After hearing what I said, she was so shocked that her chin almost fell down.
“It’s too messy. Slow down. So you mean that Eugene knows what happened between you and Edmund, but he doesn’t mind at all. He not only doesn’t mind, but also marries you. Is it possible that Cedric is also the son of Edmund?”
I didn’t answer her question, but she had already guessed it. “No wonder… No wonder you told Whitney that you lost the baby and had an abortion…”
“Now that you know everything, you should understand that I will never give Cedric to Eugene’s mother. Don’t try to persuade her anymore.”
She shook her head. “I know you won’t let me hand over the child, and I’ve already given up that idea. Besides, didn’t you promise to give me one hundred million? Give me the money, and I’ll leave right away. I don’t want to get involved in your business.”
“I can’t give you the money now. I don’t have so much savings…” in fact, I haven’t told Edmund that my mother asked me for one hundred million. I don’t want Edmund to think that my mother only asks me for money.
Although I know my parents are very bad, I still want to cover it up in front of the person I love, to protect my extremely fragile self-esteem.
“Then how much money do you have now?” She asked.
“I don’t have money. All my money was left to me by Eugene. Now that I know he is still alive, I have no reason to continue to occupy his property. I want to return the money to him.”
I can’t imagine how Eugene has survived in the past four years. He must have lived a hard life because of his illness.
Sheila said that she had a heart transplant operation and she should be fine now.
“Leanna, are you stupid? Although Eugene is still alive, if he doesn’t show up, you can continue to pretend that you don’t know. Since he can give you all his money, it means that he doesn’t care about it at all. You can use it as you like. Why do you have to care about it?”
“You don’t have to say that. I won’t use the money anymore. I’ll return it all to Eugene.” I’ve made up my mind. I’m not afraid that my mother will threaten me.
“Okay, if you don’t want to give it to her, just let Edmund give it to her. Anyway, he is rich. I think it’s reasonable for him to pay some money to take care of his mother-in-law.”
When I heard that she was thinking about Edmund again, I felt disgusted.
She really doesn’t want to leave any dignity for me.
“You can ask Edmund for money, but you have to ask for it yourself. I can’t say that.”
“Why? He can’t marry you without giving you any benefit, can he?” She felt at ease.
Hearing this, I only felt a sense of nausea in my heart. “Do you think you are qualified as a mother? Do you deserve this money?”
“If I’m not qualified, I can only blame your useless father. At that time, he was addicted to gambling and let me find that there was no hope in my life, so he left that family. If you want to blame it on your father, you can blame him.”
I don’t have the strength to quarrel with her. I have exhausted enough energy today.
Now that she wants to ask Edmund for money, I can’t stop her. I believe that Edmund should be more skillful at dealing with such things than me.
