"Cut the bulls.h.i.t and get the h.e.l.l out of my house! Even if you are really pregnant with Aron"s child, I advise you to go and get rid of it. I will cover the expenses, " said Lulu, as she shoved the woman out of the house.
"What"s going on, Lulu?" Martha asked, walking toward the door.
"c.r.a.p! What am I going to do if Martha sees this woman?" Lulu thought to herself. After giving a long, hard look at the woman outside, Lulu attempted to shut the door, but it was too late. Martha had been standing behind her for a while. She had seen the woman and had heard every word of their conversation.
Stepping forward, Martha stopped Lulu, opened the door, and turned to face the woman. "Judy, aren"t you Aron"s secretary? What a surprise to see you here."
Finally getting the attention she had been seeking, Judy deliberately stood straight to show off her big, swollen belly. "Yes, I am, and I am also here to tell you that I am pregnant with your husband"s child."
Instantly, an earsplitting sound of a slap followed.
"Ouch!" A shrill howl of pain broke the peace of the house.
Pa.s.sing her child to the servant, Angela quickly walked out of the dining room. At the front door, she saw that a woman, with her hand holding her face, was glaring fiercely at Lulu.
"People are really evil these days. A home-wrecker going to her lover"s house and making a scene in broad daylight? There really is no limit to how shameless you allow yourself to be! Guards, throw this woman out of my house. Right now!" Lulu ordered, signalling two nearby bodyguards to come forward.
"Calm down, Lulu. What"s going on?" Angela reached for Lulu and asked gently. The woman standing before them was apparently pregnant. Things could easily go wrong now that Lulu was in such an aggressive mood. Angela didn"t want anything bad to happen.
"A random woman coming out of nowhere came to our house and said that she is pregnant with Aron"s child. How hilarious! Like anyone would buy it!" replied Lulu with scorn. She was determined to take initiative to destroy the confidence of the woman on the porch because she knew that such person would attack viciously if she showed any signs of weakness.
Angela was shocked by the news. She looked at the pregnant woman, who seemed hurt and innocent, and thought to herself, "Aron and Martha seemed to be a couple in love, but how come..."
Lulu turned to Martha and grabbed her by the hand. Then, she said, "Martha, you must not get upset about this. I trust that my brother is not that kind of person. We have no idea of who this woman is, nor the father of her baby. I will ask her to leave right now!"
... A few seconds pa.s.sed before Martha could respond to Lulu"s words. When she realized that Lulu was about to grab Judy, she stopped her.
"Lulu, please go back inside with Angela. I want to have a word with Judy, alone."
Lulu wanted to stay, but Angela knew that it wasn"t what Martha had wanted, so she took Lulu by the hand and dragged her to the living room, leaving Martha and Judy alone on the porch.
Before they entered the living room, t
“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.
“Marry into a family with tens of billions of a.s.sets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.
Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...
o stop you? Maybe she didn"t want to stop you at all!" Aron blurted out.
"Now it"s all my fault? Judy came all the way here to pick a fight, and he didn"t say a word. I stood aside, and I am the one to blame?" A surge of sorrow ran through Martha as she thought to herself, "It seems true that he doesn"t love me, Just as Judy had said before. I gave him a daughter, but so what? I don"t mean anything to him.
He will never fall in love with me just because of a child..."
As her heart went cold, Martha broke into a sarcastic smile. "That"s right. It"s all my fault! It"s my fault that Judy came all the way here to start a fight. It"s also my fault that I am still married to you, which causes the problem that Judy couldn"t be your wife. Am I right?"
Aron looked into Martha"s eyes as she said this until he couldn"t anymore.
He didn"t know what else to do and just walked over, picked up Judy from the ground, and walked back to his car.
"Aron!" Angela called out. She couldn"t believe that Aron just blamed Martha for everything and didn"t even try to explain himself. And now, he was leaving, with that woman in his arms. It was so unfair to Martha.
Lulu rushed over, grabbed Aron by the arm, and said, "Aron, open your eyes! The woman you are holding now is the one who tried to sabotage your family. Your wife is over there!"
Shooting back a glance at his sister, Aron replied, "I"ve got this. You don"t have to worry about us!" He tried very hard to make himself sound calm.
Deep down, he wished that it was Martha who had come to stop him. In that case, he would have definitely let go of Judy and gone back with her. But Martha didn"t try to stop him... He was convinced that she didn"t love him at all.
Angela and Lulu watched him go away, unable to speak another word.
After Aron and Judy had gone out of sight, Angela and Lulu exchanged looks and gathered around Martha. Just as they were about to say something to comfort Martha, she let out a faint smile and said, "You don"t have to worry about me. I am fine... Really."
