After dinner, Hilla returned to her room and asked Bruce, "What happened to your mother? The way she looked at tonight was so scary. I always felt that she looked at like I was a piece of pork."
And she was the one on the chopping board and was about to be cooked.
If Halle was not present, she would have run away already.
Bruce looked at her panicked expression and couldn’t help but laugh, "She is just happy. When she is happy, she likes to stare at people she likes."
She could accept this reason. It made her feel much better.
"But why is she happy? Is it because of ?"
Recently, she had felt that she had not done anything to the Anderson family or Bruce. Why did Orlenna suddenly look at her as if she was the apple of her eye?
After dinner, Orlenna asked Hilla if she was full. When she wanted to vomit, Orlenna told her not to be afraid. When she was hungry, Orlenna would get soone to make food for her. Orlenna also gave her a few plums and said that she could eat them when her stomach was uncomfortable.
The plums were really delicious. She finished them in one go.
Bruce changed into his pajamas and lay down. He took the computer at the side and busied himself with work while pretending to not care, "Mom thought you were pregnant."
"What!"
Hilla cried out in horror. Then, she flopped and rolled off the bed with the quilt. Bruce wanted to pull her, but it was too late.
Hilla got up from the ground and lay on the edge of the bed, saying, "Why did your mother have such a terrible illusion? Should I explain it to her now?"
"No need. I will make it clear to her. It will be Christmas soon. Let her be happy for the next few days."
"But ... these few days, she might have misunderstood and get deep into it. What should we do then?"
If she couldn’t explain it clearly, it was possible that Orlenna would be angry at her because of this matter. She was obviously innocent.
Why was everyone staring at her belly? She couldn’t do it alone.
Bruce raised his head and glanced at Hilla. The corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile. The light of the lamp actually added a bit of charm and allure, "If we can’t explain it clearly, then we’ll make it true."
"You an ... you actually have this kind of idea with ..."
She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Not only did he make trouble for her, but he even seduced her to give birth to his child. She would rather be beaten to death!
The Anderson Group was busy until the annual eting!
The annual eting was held in the River City Hotel under their group. As an assistant, Hilla was not qualified to attend the annual eting and could only stay at ho in boredom.
"I’m the boss’ wife, but I am not qualified to attend the annual eting of the Anderson family. If I am not qualified, are those bitches qualified?"
Hilla rubbed Candy in front of her. Candy kept kicking anxiously.
Cookie was eating happily, but Candy in Hilla’s arms hadn’t eaten yet.
Halle walked into the room and saw Hilla sitting on the floor of the balcony, talking to herself. She could not help but pull her up and quickly tidy up her skirt.
"In the past, when you were at ho, our parents restrained you. When you married into the Anderson family, you were also very strict. How did you beco like this? You don’t even look like a noble lady."
"Everyone in the Anderson family dotes on . Bruce likes anyway."
She and Bruce were already married. She didn’t believe that she could get him to divorce her because of her behaviors.
"He likes everything you do when you are young and beautiful. When you beco old, will he still like you?"
Hilla was stunned. "Halle, you’re right!"
Why didn’t she think of it?
"Then I can’t beco old. Even if I have to age, I have to wait until Bruce becos old. He is so much older than . I just need to spend more money and take good care of my skin. It should be delayed."
Looking at her serious face, as if she was seriously thinking, Halle couldn’t help but chuckle. Her fingertips gently touched her forehead and said lovingly, "Just dream about it. A successful man will never get old."
"Halle, why are your words so similar to what Margaret said? She also said that it is normal for a man with a successful career to not go ho at night. However, Bruce has never stayed outside at night."
Hilla’s words seed to remind Halle. Yes, it was normal for a successful man to not return at night. In the past five years, didn’t she spend countless lonely nights to comfort herself?
She found many excuses for Titus not returning ho. He was too busy, or there were many urgent matters in the company waiting for him.
However, she forgot that all these reasons added together ant that she was comforting herself for a man who cheated on her.
She never thought that one day, she would be exposed by Hilla.
"It’s good that he doesn’t. He can be good to you. I can rest assured that you can live a safe life in the Anderson family."
"Halle, I’m sorry. In the past, I thought that if Bruce didn’t wake up, I would always freeload in the Anderson family. If Bruce woke up, when I got the villa of the Holt family, I would imdiately divorce him to find you. But now ... I seem to like him very much."
She liked her husband. She liked him naturally. She did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. She also felt that this was the best.
"And you also think that he likes you, right?"
Halle smiled. From Hilla’s flushed cheeks, she seed to have understood what she was thinking.
However, Hilla didn’t know that love was a sharp blade, and it could also hurt herself.
"His assistant asked to give this to you downstairs. He told you to change into it quickly."
Halle put the box she brought in on the bed and smiled at Hilla. "You’re so beautiful. After dressing up and going to the annual eting, those people will definitely not be able to take their eyes off you."
"Annual eting? Bruce sent soone to take to the annual eting!"
Hilla was delighted and ran to the balcony excitedly. As expected, she saw Jas leaning against the car door downstairs.
It was Jas who had co personally, and that was what Bruce had specifically instructed.
Hilla opened the box excitedly. The beautiful dress inside made the smile on her face more and more beautiful.
"Halle, this dress is so beautiful."
"Yes, it is. Bruce has good taste. He even seduced my most beautiful sister away."
"Halle, what are you talking about? I’m going to change!"
When a woman had a glimr of hope for love, she couldn’t help but ignite countless beautiful fantasies. Hilla, the woman who was in love for the first ti, was no exception.
She was like a cheerful little bird, dressing herself up brilliantly, then excitedly rushing downstairs and sitting in the car.
Halle couldn’t help but smile when she saw her in the window waving at her happily.
In this life, she hoped that Hilla could live better than her!
...
Hilla got out of the car and saw Rudi waiting at the entrance of the banquet hall.
She thought she could see him from ti to ti because of her bad luck.
He seed to be waiting for soone as well, but when he saw Hilla, his eyes lit up in an instant, and he hurried forward to say, "You’re also participating in the annual eting. Why isn’t Bruce here with you?"
Hilla frowned and looked at Rudi with obvious wariness in her eyes. Seeing him approach, she naturally took a step back to distance herself from him. She warned, "There are so many people here. You won’t want to be humiliated by ."
As expected, Hilla’s words were very forceful. Rudi frowned and didn’t dare to go forward.
He had fought with Hilla so many tis with various thods, but he had never succeeded, nor had he taken any advantage of Hilla. On the contrary, it was Hilla’s martial arts that gave him a lingering fear every ti.
Hilla was a beautiful rose with thorns, and although she was shockingly beautiful, her thorns hurt people.
"Hilla, we are family. Why do we have to make things difficult for each other? No matter who among us is wronged, isn’t the Anderson family the unlucky one?"
He did not forget to remind her of the Anderson family at all tis.
Tyree treated her well, and Orlenna doted on her. She had feelings for Bruce, and Margaret treated her like a biological sister. All of this made it impossible for her to turn a blind eye to the Anderson family.
"I’m not making things difficult for you. It’s you ... always thinking of doing so shaless things. I feel sorry for grandpa, but you are disappointing . As his granddaughter-in-law, there’s no need for to be more shaless than you, right?"
"Hilla, you..."
Every ti they argued, Rudi wouldn’t be able to take advantage, but he wouldn’t be able to take advantage of fighting.
The more Hilla refused him, the more he was attracted by her.
"I heard that Bruce invited Julian for this annual eting. He wants to take down the new airport project with the Jorgansen family."
Hilla frowned. She didn’t want to hear Rudi tell her this. Just as she was about to leave, Bruce sneered, "The new airport in River City will be auctioned in the next year. I heard that the Holt family’s forr villa is also in that land. The bank will auction the surrounding industries together with that land."
"What did you say?"
Hilla was stunned. When she turned around, she saw Rudi smiling smugly, "I’m afraid that Bruce’s plan to ally with Julian is going to fail. That piece of land and the Holt family’s house that belongs to that piece of land will all fall into my hands in the end.
"I know. Didn’t you marry my brother for the sake of the Holt family’s house? Now it will soon be mine. Be with , and you..."
"Dream on. Even if the bank wants to auction that piece of land together with the Holt family’s house, the only one that can get it is Bruce."
Hilla slapped away Rudi’s hand that was about to reach over, and the expression in her eyes beca increasingly cold. She turned around and walked towards the annual eting.
In the lounge.
Riya smiled and charmingly pushed the coffee cup in front of Bruce.
"Thank you for coming and talking with for a while. This is my first ti coming to the annual eting of the Anderson Group. I do need you to take care of ."
Bruce did not touch the cup in front of him, but his gaze swept past the delicate woman in front of him. His thin lips lightly opened, "Why did you suddenly co to the Anderson Group’s annual eting?"
"It wasn’t sudden. I just wanted to see you very much, but you always avoid . I could only take the initiative and send myself to you!"
Riya blinked with her long eyelashes, and her smile was particularly enchanting.
She looked like a dignified and demure lady, but her personality was so arrogant and unruly.
Such a woman was like a wild horse galloping on the grassland. It was difficult to ta her.
But once she was tad, she was loyal.
Bruce narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "You know I don’t want to see you. Why are you still here?"
Riya rolled her eyes. "You used to be a gentleman!"
"Then you must be mistaken!"
"When we were in love, you were a gentleman. Why did you show no respect for a girl after you broke up with ? Or are you afraid that your wife will know?
"It doesn’t matter. I can be your secret lover and not let your wife find out."
Riya smiled proudly. The light in Bruce’s eyes gradually faded away. In the end, it was so cold that there was no light at all in his eyes, which were like a glacier that could freeze people.
"Have you had enough?"
Riya looked at Bruce’s calm and serious expression and could not help but burst out laughing, "I was just joking. You don’t have to be so nervous.
"I know that you are usually stubborn and serious, but girls don’t like that!"
Bruce glanced at the steam coming out of the coffee and frowned as he stood up. He calmly said, "I’m married."
Riya covered her lips and smiled even more happily. "Bruce, look at you. You’re really a filial husband after getting married. I really regret it now that you’re like this. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have broken up with you. If we got married, wouldn’t you be like this for ?"
"It’s too late to regret. I have no interest in you anymore."
"If you talk to your ex-girlfriend like this, you’ll be blacklisted, okay?"
Bruce ignored her and leaned over to open her bag on the desk, taking out the phone inside.
"What are you doing? Bruce, you want to go back to and check my phone, right? It’s fine. Other than you, there’s nothing else about other n."
Riya smiled and caught the phone when she saw Bruce throw it over.
The tall and straight man walked past her, leaving behind only a sentence, "I blacklisted you. You are not on my list."
"Oh my god, you’re actually so ruthless!"
Riya found it hard to believe. There was no Bruce on her friend list, and she could not find him. Only then did she realize that this man had actually deleted her.
"Bruce, are you crazy? You have already married. You actually dared to blacklist . I ... bastard, I curse you to divorce tomorrow!"
Although Riya was flustered and exasperated, she still cared about her image as a noble lady. It was impossible for her to curse loudly, but Bruce at the door could hear it.
Bruce stopped. The man turned around and looked at her calmly. "Don’t you know that an oath will never co true? You’re already a woman in your twenties. Wake up!"
