She had wanted to tell Joanna about Zenobia, but she never expected Joanna to be so ruthless.
She only had a few thousand left for the month. Without money, she wouldn''t even be able to afford the hospital bills for the birth.
Since meeting Jerome, her life had been like that of a wealthy socialite.
Jerome gave her expensive gifts and so much spending money she couldn''t use it all. His pampering had made her ustomed to avish lifestyle.
Every month, after getting the money, she would go on wild spending sprees at bars.
A few thousand a night...
If Jerome hadn''t gotten into trouble, she could have easily spent at least two hundred thousand a month.
"This is infuriating!" She gritted her teeth. Joanna wouldn''t give her money, but she didn''t dare do anything about it.
Because that girl... she really had been pushed to her death by her.
She didn''t want to go to jail, but.....
She looked up at Zenobia. That baby had better not be Jerome''s. No one could stand in her son''s way.
Her son was going to be the heir to the Scott family.
If the Scott family could be a deep-pocketed fool for Joanna, then Wendy could be one for her son too.
Joanna couldn''t stop her either. She could do without the money, but she needed to go back to the Scott family to be cared for during her pregnancy. By siding with Joanna, she could still get through this rough patch.
Her eyes glinted with malice. Jerome was the perfect shield.
And that fool Wendy would surely feel sorry for her own grandson.
Yvonne had a n. Now, she just had to wait for the right moment.
Natalie brought the form over. Zenobia''s baby was due any day now.
Any day now. Calcting the timing, it almost had to be Jerome''s.
That night, Jerome had been set up. Natalie was supposed to be the one to enter
his room, but Zenobia had been pulled in by him instead.
Jerome''s guilt over that night was why he had been so cruel to Zenobia.
And that''s why Zenobia had left him for good.
That idiot Jerome... only a woman like Zenobia would ever treat him like a treasure.
Yvonne sneered, then turned and left. She could probably extort some money from the foolish and rich Zenobia before she left the ind.
Natalie and Zenobia, oblivious to
what was happening outside, were enjoying themselves inside. Zenobia had prepared lunch, waiting.
for Natalie to arrive. fo
"Natalie, have a taste! This fish has no bones at all. I sliced it thin for us to cook. It''s delicious."
"And these are the ones you foundst time. I cleaned them that same day and froze them. They''re still perfectly fresh."
Natalie sat across from her and nodded happily. "Great! I''m starving."
Natalie picked up her fork and began cooking the fish slices. Dipped in some
sesame sauce, they were tender and fragrant.
"Yummy!" she said, her eyes crinkling with a smile.
Zenobia was happy too, but her lower back was aching and felt heavy.
She knew her baby wasing soon.
"Natalie, the baby''sing. I''m so excited. I can''t wait," she said, her voice filled with unconceble joy.
It didn''t matter who the father was; this child was hers.
Natalie saw her excitement and knew that Zenobia truly loved this child. Regardless
of the father''s identity, her love was for the baby.
In her past life, Zenobia had never ended up with Jerome. She raised the child on her own, and when the child was five, she met someone who truly loved her. Natalie didn''t
know who it was
She had been happyter in life, but Natalie had never seen her again after that.
"I''m excited too. A new life is a new
hope. Zenobia, you''re going to be even happier." This time, she would make sure Zenobia found
happiness. Zenobia was a good
person-gentle and kind. It was
Jerome''s loss.
The two enjoyed a happy lunch. Natalie ate her fill and took on the responsibility of washing the dishes in the kitchen.
