Chapter 18 Make You Miserable
It only took twenty minutes to extinguish the seed of a new life.

I was waiting for Anna at the door. I hesitated for a while before going to the
bathroom and dialing Mr. Cailan’s number.
He picked up the phone very quickly. After I asked my question, he said, “I
don’t know anything about it. Mr. Mendez saw to this matter himself.”
“Can you help me ask him? I want to know why he suddenly made that
decision,” I said.
Mr. Cailan was silent for a moment. “Alright, I’ll call you back soon.”
After I hung up, I waited in the cubicle.
My body still hurt, and it was still bleeding.
As much as I knew the probability was very low, I hoped Mr. Cailan could help
me solve the problem. I did not know how to deal with Liam.

I waited for ten minutes, but Mr. Cailan had not called yet. Instead, I received
a call from Anna asking where I was.
I was about to open the door and leave when I heard a voice from outside. “I
have nothing going on with him. He’s a big boss, and I wouldn’t possibly catch
his eye…”
Was that the woman with the peacock tattoo?
I stopped moving, yet she was still talking. “You want me to quit? I get fifty
thousand dollars each time I put up a show. It’s easier than picking up manna
from heaven!”
She paused for a while before continuing, “I don’t know, I don’t dare to ask
anyway… No, you idiot, he never touched me! If I slept with him, why would I
bother bearing your child?”
I opened the door, rushed outside, and grabbed the woman’s arm.
She was still in the middle of the call, and my actions shocked her.

Grabbing her arm tightly, I stared her in the eye and said, “Repeat what you
just said!”
When I received the call from Mr. Cailan, I had just seen Anna off.
I answered the call and said, “Do you have any good news for me?”
Liam’s voice was heard. “Who allowed you to call him?”
I did not reply.
Liam’s voice was colder than ever. “Come to my office.”
I did not want to go to his office, so I said hastily, “I want to know why you did
that.”
“Why?” Liam grunted. “I only care about humiliating you. I don’t want to
sacrifice my body to do so.”

I was taken aback, though I followed up, “I’m talking about my sister’s shares.”
The other end of the call was silent.
The woman with the peacock tattoo must have told him.
However, I was sure I did not care about that “affair.”
The woman said she was a rookie Internet celebrity. A man named Jeffrey
Cailan found her and asked her to pretend to be Liam’s mistress for fifty
thousand dollars.
He did not explain why, and she did not ask.
Liam never talked to her, much less touched or made out with her. Mr. Cailan
was the one who handled the finances.
