Billionaire’s Mistress

Leanna’s POV

In the hall, the auction was about to come to an end. The last item was sold at a price of three million. All the people present stood up and left one after another.

Because Myrna and Eugene went to the bathroom, the two seats between Edmund and I were empty.

Edmund was about to walk out of the meeting room and wait for Myrna. When he passed by me, he didn’t stop for a second. He just left like a stranger.

Oarlan followed him. Seeing that I was still sitting there, she asked with concern, “Leanna, it’s over. Where are the two gentlemen?”

“He went to the bathroom. I’m waiting for him.” I replied in a low voice.

“Well, how long have you been there? Do you need me to go to the bathroom to check for you?”

Hearing what he said, I suddenly realized that Eugene had left for a long time. She wanted to ask him for help, but she saw Edmund stop in front, as if waiting for Oarlan.

After thinking for a while, I refused politely, “no, thanks. You can go ahead with your work. I’ll go to the bathroom to have a look by myself.”

Then I picked up my handbag and walked out.

When I passed by Edmund, the gap between the seats was not very wide, and Edmund was just standing in the middle of the corridor, so the space for me to pass through was somewhat narrow.

“Excuse me, please.” I don’t want to force myself through him, so I have to say to him.

But he didn’t step back. Instead, he took a step forward, approached me, turned around and looked at Oarlan. “You go to the bathroom to have a look.”

It turned out that he heard the conversation between Oarlan and me.

Although I don’t want to bother them, I know that I can’t refuse Edmund’s request.

As soon as Oarlan received the order, he rushed to the bathroom.

I was stopped by Edmund and couldn’t move. So I lowered my head and said in a low voice, “thank you.”

“Tell Eugene that it’s not good to do too much harmful things, and Royston is not a good person.” His voice was emotionless.

When I heard this, my face changed slightly.

I don’t understand what he meant.

‘hurting others but not benefit myself?’?

What did Eugene do?

Who was Royston?

“What do you mean?” I asked in confusion.

“You don’t need to know. Remember, the first thing you need to learn to live in the King family is to close your eyes and block your ears. Don’t look at what you shouldn’t see, and don’t listen to what you shouldn’t hear.”

Is he caring about me?

Are you afraid that I will be implicated?

“Thank you for your reminder. But I think I can tell what’s going on.” I replied politely and distantly.

“”Good.” He sneered, turned around and walked out of the meeting room.

Looking at his receding figure, I felt depressed.

Why did I decide to respect his choice to help Myrna and give up any fantasy about him? But when facing him, his heart always ached involuntarily.

His eyes, his movements and his words could always easily arouse my tense nerves.

“Leanna, what are you thinking about?” Eugene’s voice came to my ears.

I shook my head. “Nothing. By the way, do you know a man called Royston?”

“Why do you suddenly ask this?” He frowned slightly and asked back. But before I could answer, he seemed to think of something. “Did Edmund tell you?”

“Yes, he asked me to remind you that that person is not a good person.” I’ll tell you the truth.

“Thank him.” He smiled coldly, put his arms around my waist and took me out of the party.

When we arrived at the villa, it was already half past nine in the evening.

Eugene sent me to my home, but he didn’t come with me. Instead, he watched me go in, turned around and got on the car again, not knowing where to go.

As soon as I entered the house, I heard two quarrels on the second floor.

Before asking Petra what had happened, I saw Father-in-law, Rudolf, rushing downstairs angrily. He went out before I could say to him.

Upstairs, there was a cry coming from the master bedroom.

I don’t know what happened, so I have to follow the cry and walk towards the master bedroom on the two floor.

As soon as I walked to the door of the master bedroom, i saw Petra kneeling on the ground to clean up the mess. Mother-in-law, Whitney, was sitting on the edge of the bed, covering her face and crying.

Thinking of the look on Rudolf’s face when he left, I was almost sure that his parents in law had a quarrel with each other.

But why did they quarrel?

Although I hasn’t been married to the King family for a long time, after these days of contact, I feel that my mother-in-law is a well behaved lady from an eminent family who won’t make trouble out of nothing.

What could make them so angry?

When I was hesitating whether I should go in and comfort Whitney, my phone in my bag suddenly rang.

I stepped aside and took out my phone. It was from my mother.

Since my mother came here last time, I haven’t contacted her much.

Occasionally, she called to ask about my physical condition, but it was basically in the daytime. Within two or three words, the two hung up.

It was rare to see someone call her at this time.

I answered the phone and walked towards my bedroom.

“Hello…”

“Leanna, it’s me.” Mother’s voice came through the phone.

“I know. What’s up?” I asked in a low voice. Although I no longer hate my mother, my attitude is always not very enthusiastic.

I have no choice. My heart hasn’t been untied, so I can’t be as attached to her as an ordinary daughter to Mother.

“You haven’t gone to bed, have you?”

“No, I just came back from outside.”

“”Oh, how are you recently? Do you feel uncomfortable? Let me tell you. It’s a hard work for a woman to get pregnant. If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me. Mom…”

“You called me so late just to care about me?” I interrupted her. I’m not used to her “excessive” care.

“No… No. I have something very important to tell you.” She said and thought for a while on the other end of the phone.

“What’s the matter?”

“Lorna is pregnant.”

“What?” I was shocked by the news.

Lorna pregnancy?

How could this be?

“Who is the father?” It shouldn’t be father-in-law’s, right? This is not what I want to see.

“Leanna, let me tell you. The two of them are planning to force your father-in-law to divorce. Lorna, don’t look at her. Your father-in-law must have given her a lot of benefits before. Now she is dreaming of becoming the two wives of the King family. I think your mother-in-law has always been good to you. At this critical moment, you have to help your mother-in-law. If you really let that bad girl, Lorna, marry you After you get married, she is carrying a child and will compete with Eugene for property in the future. You can’t have a good life in the future. ” The first thing Mother thought of was the relationship of interests.

“Are you serious? Is Lorna really pregnant?” I still can’t digest the news.

If my memory serves me right, last time when Lorna came to visit us, she clearly felt that she hated Rudolf very much.

After all, she was so young. How could she be willing to give herself to such an old man?

“I’ve already seen the test report. Is there anything wrong? Lyndon also told me personally. Anyway, I’ll tell you this. Be careful. If you can’t do it, you can tell Eugene and ask him to deal with that bitch. By the way, don’t tell your mother-in-law about this. If she knows that Lorna is pregnant with your father-in-law’s son, she may think that the two people know each other through you. ! ” Mother warned me.

I suddenly have a guess. Is it possible that Whitney and Rudolf quarreled with each other tonight for the matter of Lorna?

At the thought of this, I suddenly had a very bad feeling.

After hanging up the phone, I just changed my clothes and was about to go to the bathroom to take a shower. Suddenly, someone knocked on the bedroom door from the outside.

“are you inside?” Petra’s voice came from outside.

I quickly walked to the door and opened it. “Petra, what can I do for you?”

” madam has something to tell you. Please go to her room.” Petra replied.

Hearing this, my heart tightened inexplicably.

My mother-in-law has something to tell me. Does she really know about Lorna and want to ask me about it?

‘what should I do?

I suddenly remembered what Edmund had told me half an hour ago.

The rule of living in this family was to know what could be heard, what couldn’t be heard, what could be said, and what couldn’t be said.

It seems that he is more experienced than me when he lives in a rich family.

” let’s go.” Petra urged.

“Okay.” I knew I couldn’t escape, so I had to follow Petra to the master bedroom.

As soon as I entered the room, i saw Whitney sitting on the couch with a handkerchief in her hand. It seemed that she had just cried and her face hadn’t fully recovered.

Her well maintained face looked gray at the moment, as if she had been greatly stimulated.

After I entered the room, Petra left and closed the door.

“Mom…” I slowly walked up to Whitney and gently called her name.

She raised her head and looked at me with a pair of red and swollen almond eyes. Her voice was still a little choked. She pointed at the sofa opposite her and said, “sit down.”

I sat down, looked at her and asked with concern, “Granny, what’s wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?”

“Leanna, what have I done to you since you entered the King family?” She sniffed and looked at me seriously.

Hearing her question, I suddenly had a very bad feeling.

Did she really know about the relationship between Rudolf and Lorna and come to blame me now?

“You are so kind to me. I am always grateful to you.” This is what I said from the bottom of my heart, without any hypocrisy.

“Well, since you think so, I will ask you to do one thing for me next. Can you promise me?”

“What’s the matter?”

“Your father-in-law has an affair. I hope you can help me find that tramp.” When she said this, there was obvious hatred in her tone and eyes.

Hearing this, my expression immediately froze.

Did she mean that she didn’t know the tramp was Lorna?

“What should I do?” I asked cautiously. I don’t understand why she asked someone to help her instead of a private detective.

“”I heard that the woman was known by your father-in-law when he was in a social engagement. I know that he has been close to your stepfather recently. Perhaps your stepfather has seen that woman. Please help me tell your mother and ask her where that woman comes from.”

Hearing this, I knew that I couldn’t refuse, so I nodded and comforted her in a low voice, “is it possible? After all, father-in-law is in business, and sometimes it is inevitable to have social engagements.”

“Acting according to circumstances? You even have a bastard. Do you think it will be acting according to circumstances?” She sneered,.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“What if… What are you going to do if you find that woman?” I looked at her face full of hatred and asked carefully.

“What should I do?” She looked up at me and asked, “if you were me, what would you do?”

Her rhetorical question made me confused.

I have never thought about how to deal with such a thing.

She didn’t force me anymore. She only promised, “tell your mother to help me find that woman. I won’t treat her unfairly.”

“”Should we tell Eugene about it? Maybe he has a better way to deal with it.” I think Eugene has the right to know what happened between her parents.

But as soon as I said that, Whitney interrupted coldly, “no, you can’t tell him.”

Before I could ask why, she continued, “Eugene always thinks that I have a good relationship with your father-in-law. If he knows that your father-in-law has betrayed me, I’m afraid that he can’t bear this blow. You know that he has a heart disease and can’t bear any stimulation.”

I see. At this time, she is still wholeheartedly thinking about her own child. Thinking of her own mother, I finally understand the difference between people. Sometimes, it’s not that I have too high requirements for my mother, but that Belinda, as a mother, has done too little for us.

“Okay, I know. I won’t tell Eugene. Don’t be too sad. I think father-in-law just hasn’t figured out something for a while. When he figured it out, he will come back to you.” I saw that she was depressed, so I could only persuade her kindly.

“I don’t care whether he will come back to me or not, but this family can’t be separated.”

Looking at Whitney’s pained and determined look, I knew that Lorna had kicked the iron plate this time.

It was not easy to be a mistress, especially to marry into a rich family, which was even more difficult.

Lorna, why are you so depraved?
