Both the butler and the bodyguard were stunned. When they heard me admit it, Mya looked relieved.
“I thought you were so powerful here, but it turned out that you were also afraid of Mr. Blackville causing you trouble?”
“That’s right. I’m carrying Mr. Blackville’s child!”
When the butler and the bodyguard gave her zero reaction, Mya lost her patience.
“Let me make it clear. You are working under the Blackville. That means that you’re working under me too!”
“I am your mistress, but you dare to treat me like this?”
“Don’t forget who paid you!”
“As the mother of the Blackville Family’s heir, I ordered you to throw Adeline out immediately!”
“Don’t worry if Mr. Blackville is upset. From now on, I will be Mrs. Blackville. If you listen to me, I will give you a promotion and a raise.”
The butler and the bodyguard, staying professional, pinched their thighs to stop themselves from laughing. Mya looked even more arrogant.
“The baby that I carry will be the heir to the Blackville Family’s business empire. If I’m upset, he’ll be upset too.”
“If my child is upset, the whole Blackville Family’s business empire will be upset too!”
Right after she said this, John’s slightly tired voice came from the doorway.
“Who’s upset?”
Before I could say anything, Mya’s expression changed at once.
She ran into John’s arms, tears falling like pearls from a broken string.
“Mr. Blackville, you’re finally home!”
John glanced at me nervously, as if wanting to explain.
But Mya spoke much faster than he could.
“Mr. Blackville, Mrs. Blackville already knew about us!”
“I know that my status is unequal to yours. I just asked her to forgive me. Although I’m wrong, you and our baby aren’t in the wrong.”
“Mrs. Blackville said that I deserved to die and asked the butler and bodyguards to throw me out. Mr. Blackville, both me and our baby would be dead had you not come at the right time!”
“I’m not scared even if they want me to be dead, but I can’t let our child die!”
John, who was feeling overwhelmed, could only scold the butler.
“What are you making such a fuss about? How could you throw someone out in such weather?”
“Mya was pregnant, so it was easier for her to be more upset. Rather than calming her down, you joined in her fuss. What if something happened?”
It was a very clever statement. He only said something might happen, but didn’t say to whom.
Like what I expected, Mya assumed that John was worried about her. She looked at me with more arrogance, even mouthing for me to die. Clearly, I knew that she wanted to make me lose my patience.
However, reality wasn’t a TV drama. I didn’t feel the need to join her silly game of female rivalry. So, I rose from my seat, came closer to John and slapped him hard.
“I’ve heard directly from Mya that you and your bastard will inherit the Blackville Family’s business empire, huh?”
“Aren’t you supposed to inform me about this?”
“Or do you think that things like this won’t need my consent as the current CEO?”
