Billionaire’s Mistress

Chapter 24



With a glass of wine in her hand, Lelia twisted her waist and walked up to us. She bent down and said, “Leanna, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. I’d like to propose a toast to you too.”

When I was about to raise my glass to clink with her, she shook her hand and a glass of red wine spilled on my white dress without warning, forming a dazzling red stain.

“Oh, I’m so sorry. My hand slipped and I didn’t hold it firmly. I splashed it all over your body. I’m sorry.” As she spoke, she picked up a napkin and pretended to wipe it for me.

Subconsciously, I stepped back a little to avoid her hands. “It doesn’t matter….”

“Lelia, what the hell do you mean? Do you want to make trouble?” Seeing this, Evelyn was furious. She rushed up and scolded.

“Evelyn, are you blind? Didn’t you see that I didn’t do it on purpose? Leanna said it didn’t matter. You have to meddle in other people’s business here.” Lelia snapped back.

“Wow, it’s so lively. What are you arguing for?” At this time, the door of the box was pushed open from the outside, and a handsome man and woman came in.

When I heard the voice, I suddenly raised my head and happened to meet his eyes. For a moment, my pupils suddenly shrank, turning pale.

How could it be such a coincidence to meet him here.

“Otis, Lorna, you are here.” Vic stood up from the sofa.

Lorna also quickly discovered my existence.

“Vic,. Why did you only invite Otis to the party instead of me? It turns out that someone is here. Well, do you want t my fiance and ex girlfriend reunion again?” Lorna glanced at me up and down in disgust, turned around and pointed at Vic.

Vic hurriedly waved her hand and explained, “you have wronged me. I just knew that Leanna has come back.”

“Really?” Obviously, Lorna didn’t believe it. She reached out and held the arms of the Otis beside her, as if declaring her sovereignty. “Honey, there’s no fun here. What kind of people are they? Let’s go back.”

Vic hurried to hold her hand and said, “Oh, Lorna, you’ve come here. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Just sit down for a while.”

“Hey, bro, you haven’t said a word since you came in. What do you mean? Are you too excited to see your old friend? Sit down quickly. Let’s have a few drinks first.”

Otis just let Vic push him to the sofa and sit down.

“Excuse me.” I don’t want to stay here any longer. After saying that to Vic, I stood up and walked out of the room.

I rushed out of the room in one breath and went straight to the bathroom, trying to clean up the stains.

But red wine is an alcohol drink without special detergent. It can’t be cleaned at all. I don’t dare to wet my dress, which will only make me more embarrassed. I wiped myself with a tissue and decided to go home to clean it.

After coming out of the bathroom, I walked towards the gate of the KTV.

When I walked out of the corridor, i was stopped by a tall figure.

When I raised my head, the angry handsome face of Otis appeared in front of me.

“Excuse me.” I lowered my head and walked past him without looking at his face.

“Why did you come back?” Suddenly, he grabbed my wrist and asked angrily.

I struggled for a while and found that I couldn’t get rid of him with all my strength, so I had to say, “please let me go.”

“I asked you why you came back!” He pulled me in front of him and glared at me.

“What do you mean? Can’t I come back?” I plucked up my courage and looked straight into his eyes.

I don’t owe him anything. Why should I be afraid of him?

“It seems that I have underestimated your impudence. That’s right. A woman like you who can even take love as a business will certainly not care about the gazes of others.” He sneered and said sarcastically.

His words were like a thorn, piercing into my heart.

But strangely, I don’t feel too much pain.

Maybe three years ago, I had experienced something more painful than this, so my body was immune to him.

I put on a brilliant smile and said, “since you care so much about others’ opinions, shouldn’t you stay away from me? What if your fiancee sees you holding my hand and misunderstands you again?”

While saying that, I struggled to get rid of his hand and rubbed my wrist which was painful because of his grasp.

“We haven’t seen each other for three years. You’ve learned to be sharp tongued. Leanna, I warn you, you’d better stay away from me. Don’t appear in my world again. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee what I’ll do to you.” He gritted his teeth and warned me in a low voice.

Looking at his distorted face because of anger, I felt a chill in my heart. “You worry too much. If I knew you would come today, I would definitely not attend this party. Sorry, if there is nothing else, I will leave first.”

Then I walked out without looking back.

I don’t know how I got out of the KTV. I just feel like my heart is going to suffocate and I’m shaking violently.

I rushed to the side of the road and stopped the taxi. The moment I got into the car and closed the door, my tense nerves suddenly relaxed. I tried hard to hold back the tears that did not flow out uncontrollably.

When I met Otis again, I thought we could at least nod and greet each other friendly even if we were not as close as before.

But obviously, I was wrong.

In the past three years, Otis didn’t forgive me at all.

Maybe, from the moment I broke up with him, he has only endless hatred for me.

When WE got home, it was already nine o’clock in the evening.

Seeing my pale face, Sage hurried to help me. “Miss, what’s wrong with you? Are you sick?”

I’m fine, Sage. ”

“Sir is back. He is in the study now.” She whispered beside me.

Hearing this, I was slightly stunned.

Did he come back?

It was so early today.

I went upstairs to the study and gently pushed the door. As expected, I saw Edmund sitting at the desk and reading the documents in his hands under the lamp.

The light came from his side and sprinkled directly on the document in his hand, making his originally strong face much softer.

It was very quiet around. Occasionally, the sound of him flipping through documents came,

I just stood at the door and silently watched Edmund who was focusing on his work. As if I was possessed, I stood still.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

After a long time, I didn’t come to my senses until the familiar and deep voice came to my ears.

“How long are you going to stand there and watch?”

Being discovered, my face flushed inexplicably and I looked a little embarrassed.

“Come in.” Closing the folder in front of him, he finally looked up at me and ordered.

I walked into the study obediently, and the door closed gently automatically behind me.

“Why did you come back so early today?” I walked up to him and asked in a low voice.

“It’s over early.” He answered, pulled me to his legs and sat down, holding me in his arms.

I was a little nervous, but when I got close to his chest, I seemed to be used to it and completely relaxed.

“I went to the classmate reunion tonight.” I report my whereabouts to him.

“I know.” He rested his chin on my head and said in a rare gentle voice.

“I won’t go there anymore. I’ll wait for you at home every day.”

“Why? Did you have a bad time?”

She was not only unhappy.

I didn’t answer him, but turned around and kissed his thin lips.

……

When i woke up again, it was already dawn.

As expected, Edmund left again.

I turned on my phone and found several missed calls from the same strange number.

Who called me so many times this morning?

I was confused and called back.

The phone was answered. Before I could say anything, I heard a clear female voice from the phone.

“Leanna, are you finally willing to answer the phone?”

“Who are you?” I was confused by his aggressive tone.

“What? You are trying to seduce my fiance. Do you still want to pretend that you don’t know who I am?”

“Are you Lorna?” I finally know who they are.

“Well, it seems that you are really going to take my fiance away.”

I’m speechless.

“I don’t want to beat around the bush with you. Come to the Green Coffee at two o’clock in the afternoon. I have something to tell you.” She said.

“Just tell me on the phone.”

“How can you make it clear on the phone? That’s a deal. You’d better show up on time. Don’t let me wait. I’m not patient.” After saying that, she hung up the phone directly, leaving no chance for me to refuse.

Looking at the black screen of the mobile phone, I sighed in my heart. Well, it’s better to make it clear. I don’t want to be treated as an enemy all the time.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, I arrived at the Green Coffee mentioned by Lorna on time.

I looked around four weeks, but I didn’t see her.

“Miss, how many are you?” The waiter greeted.

“I don’t know. Maybe two people.” I’m not sure whether it’s her own idea or Otis to meet Lorna this time.

“Okay, I’ll take you to a seat first.” The waiter said and led me to a table near the window for four people.

I ordered a cup, and then looked at the time. It was five minutes past the two o’clock I agreed with her.

When the coffee was served, I took two sips and saw Lorna in a designer dress and big sunglasses. She walked in with a swaggering posture.

Behind her was a woman about more than 30 years old. The two of them stood in front of each other, like a star and an assistant.

Lorna walked straight to me, took off her sunglasses, threw them on the table and sat down.

“Kaia, give it to her.”

The woman named Kaia immediately took out a pink card from her bag and handed it to me. “Miss Leanna, this is the invitation to the engagement ceremony of Miss Lorna and Mr. Otis. Please put it away.”

Looking at the invitation with the vow of love on it, I felt a lump in my throat. I took a deep breath and asked, “what… What do you mean?”

“It’s very simple. I want you to attend my engagement ceremony with Otis.” Lorna said arrogantly.

I didn’t take the card. Although I don’t understand why Lorna invited me, I clearly remember that the Otis said that they didn’t want to see me again, so why should I show up?

“I won’t go.” I have no obligation to watch this performance.

With an unhappy look on her face, Lorna asked, “why? Are you afraid of being hurt by the love of Otis to me? Or do you always think of Otis and want to take him back?”

“You think too much. My relationship with Otis has already ended. I don’t have any feelings for him anymore.” I replied calmly.

“Really? Then prove it to me. To be honest, I’m looking forward to your blessings. After all, there should be no better engagement gift than the blessings from your ex boyfriend in the world.” She raised her eyebrows.

“I said I wouldn’t go. Please stop your imagination.” I found that chatting with her was difficult. She always gave people the feeling that she was suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder.

It seemed that everyone would covet what she liked.

I got up and was about to leave.

“Don’t you want to see your mother who abandoned her husband and son?” Lorna said again.

Hearing this, I stopped.
