Chapter 18 Punch Here, Punch Hard
"Riley, you think you're clean and noble? Don't think I don't know what you did to Euan three years ago! Euan is so disgusted with you that he won't even touch you. He'd rather come to me when he wants to have sex...
"
Before Lydia could say anything, Riley slapped her hard across the face! With all her strength, she compressed all her power between her five fingers.
Lydia's head was spinning from the slap. Her beautiful oval face was tilted to the side, and her pale cheeks were covered in bright red fingerprints. Lydia, who was hailed by the media as the most beautiful woman in Asia, had her face broken by Riley.
"Riley, you dare hit me?" Lydia covered her face and stared into her eyes. She bit her red lip, and her harsh, bloodthirsty eyes were lashing Riley silently.
But she was still smiling slightly, "Lydia, do you think I'm stupid, or are you deliberately insulting Euan's aesthetic and taste? You ..." Riley looked Lydia over with disdain, "What makes you worthy of him? He comes to you when he wants to have sex, doesn't he? Huh, are you trying to tell me you're good at sex, or are you trying to tell me that the only thing you have to offer him is a few minutes in bed?" Lydia blanched at Riley's comment. She covered her red, swollen, hot face. The way she was holding back tears from the severe pain was endearing.
How many times had she lied to her with that sad look! How many times!
"Riley, have you had enough hitting? If you haven't hit enough, hit it right here! Hit it hard!"
Lydia grabbed Riley's hand and pressed it against her belly. She smiled harshly, as if she were a ghost, "Hit me!"
Riley's eyes flashed with surprise. She couldn't help but look down at her belly. Her flat belly showed nothing out of the ordinary. But the smugness in Lydia's eyes made her perceive a deep unease. "What's gotten into you!"
Riley pulled his hand out with a sullen face.
Lydia touched her belly with one hand and massaged it gently over and over again, "It was those few minutes you looked down on that I could have conceived Euan's child. And you ..." She looked down and stopped at her belly, "You haven't gotten pregnant once in three years. Oh, it turns out there are really old hens that don't lay eggs."
Euan's baby?
Riley suddenly felt like she was suffering a thunderstorm. She felt the world spinning in front of her as Lydia's smile grew smug and wild. The venom hidden in her provocative eyes wanted to smother her to death.
Riley reached up and held the back of her chair as her eyes went slack. How could ... Euan have allowed Lydia to become pregnant?
Seeing Riley's reaction, the little unease Lydia had left just then was swept away. 'Riley, you really do have weakness!'
She slowly opened her bag, pulled out some papers from it, and slapped them on the table. She wrapped her slim arms around her chest and looked down at Riley proudly, "Dr. Watson, it's the OB/GYN tests. You can read them, can't you?"
Riley saw that JD Central Hospital was written at the top of the test results.
The test results clearly showed that Lydia was four weeks pregnant...
The look on Riley's face when she saw the test results was one that Lydia was pleased with.
She walked extremely slowly to Riley's side, then as she staggered away from her, she whispered in her ear, "Bitch, I'll get this slap back today. What you owe me, I'll get it all back."
"And here ... whether the hostess will still be you in ten months, huh, you'd better burn incense and kowtow every day from now on and ask for blessings!"
Until the door to the villa was closed, until Lydia had completely walked out of the villa area, until the sound of the car leaving had completely disappeared, Riley remained in the same position she had just been in and didn't move.
How could Lydia be pregnant?
How could Euan do this!
And at that moment, Lydia's limousine pulled up.
She dialed a number, and looked fiercely at her red, swollen face in the mirror, then she gritted her teeth and smiled coldly.
"Lydia, you have a scene this afternoon. Why aren't you back yet?"
"Sia, send out an announcement for me. The more sensational, the better, and the more people who know about it, the better. Also, make sure to create the effect that this is not something I've voluntarily exposed."
"What do you want? What's happening? My God, you are now a popular first-tier star in the country. How many pairs of eyes are watching you! You could just blow up the whole Weibo by simply posting a selfie."
Lydia tapped her crystal nails on the steering wheel, "No, that's not enough. I want a national sensation! I don't want to wait any longer. This time, I'm going to get him!"
"You mean, Euan?"
"Yes! Sia, I'll meet you in front of the Hilton Hotel in ten minutes. Remember who I am now, I'm a pregnant woman and I'm carrying Euan's baby."
"What! Lydia, what are you saying! You're pregnant with Euan's baby? He doesn't like you at all ... Are you really pregnant? Is the father of the baby really Euan?"
Lydia rubbed her belly. She also didn't know who the father of the child was. Everything that happened that night was so confusing. The director, the producer, and several of the main actors were drinking together and everyone ended up getting drunk. When she woke up, several unclothed men and women were lying around her.
The following month, her period was delayed. It was only when she went to the hospital for a check-up that she found out she was pregnant.
But... Lydia narrowed her eyes fiercely. This baby had come at a good time!
Lydia sneered, "Sia, does it matter who the father of the baby is? It doesn't matter who it is, from now on, the father of the child is him and must be him! You remember that clearly! I am pregnant with Euan's child. I don't need to tell you what to do with the rest, do I?"
"But, in case Euan finds out about this..."
"Sia, don't forget who you are. Your duty is to defend me. I'm not consulting you or asking for your opinion."
"Okay... I'll go and arrange it right away. Just don't make a mistake."
Hanging up the phone, the corner of Lydia's mouth curled as she looked ahead and her fingers clenched into fists. "Riley, you're fighting me? Well, let's see who lives and who dies!"
Riley hadn't been pregnant all these years. Now that she was pregnant with the eldest child of 'the George family', and Jakub and Anika's attitude towards her was bound to change.
"Huh, Riley, who are you? It won't be long before you're out of the George family and out of Euan's life forever."
At this moment, in the office of the president on the top floor of the MBK Building.
Elijah stood in front of Euan's desk, reporting what he had seen with his own eyes, and silently waiting for his boss to say something.
Euan flipped through a few pages of documents and signed his name quickly. Then he lifted the coffee cup close to his hand and took a sip, letting the aroma of the coffee disperse in his mouth. "Looks like it's time to give him a heads-up."
The man's dark eyes burst with a cold, chilling light.
Elijah nodded, "Boss, Hendrix is still at a playful age and probably doesn't have any other intentions. I don't think it's necessary for now."
Euan gave him a look and Elijah didn't dare say anything else.
Then Euan said, "Lydia is at YJ Villa."
"What? BOSS, you ... actually let Ms. Saunders go to the villa?!" Elijah's heart nearly flew out of his chest! So, the red Ferrari he saw when he dropped her off was Lydia's? Euan glanced at him, "You've been with me for so long, and you still fuss when things go wrong."
Elijah swallowed hard, "No... Boss, do you desire to stir up troubles? You let Mrs. George and Ms. Saunders go head to head. You don't want the house anymore, do you?" Oh, God! The two of them together could make a hole in the sky!
BOSS, you're too inconsiderate.
Euan put down his coffee cup and slowly opened another file, "She's openly cuddling with her brother-in-law. I asked Lydia to give her a heads-up, why not?"
Elijah couldn't say a word as he choked on Euan's words. BOSS, your logic is so strong.
"Ahem, BOSS, would that be a bit too vicious? Mrs. George is badly wounded. In case they get into a fight, it won't do Mrs. George any good." Elijah couldn't help but hold his forehead.
Euan said in an offhand manner, "Since she had the ability to make mistakes, she had to suffer the consequences."
Besides, with Riley's personality, would she allow herself to be disadvantaged? He didn't believe it.
Elijah didn't dare nod, but instead said with anxiety, "BOSS, how about I call and ask later? Don't really let them get into a fight."
Euan looked at him with cold eyes, "What are you in such a hurry for?"
Elijah gasped, "No... well, she is your wife, this..."
Euan dropped the paper, "If she still remembered she was my wife, she wouldn't ..." Euan was furious, but he held back from losing his temper and instead waved his hand impatiently, "Get out." "Yes, BOSS. You'd better go check it out later."
A few hours later.
"Latest news. Lydia, one of the top stars of the moment, was mobbed by journalists today as she entered an upscale hotel with her agent. Lydia's agent was in a hurry to reveal that Lydia was pregnant and tried to stop the frantic press. Is it true or not?"
"Lydia is pregnant and her agent reveals the news by accident!"
"Lydia puts aside her new play that she is shooting and blatantly misses her appointment with the director. And the truth is that she's pregnant!"
"After three years of dating off and on with Euan, the CEO of MBK International Corporation, Lydia has finally made it to the top! Now that Lydia is pregnant with Mr. George's baby, can she officially enter the George family?"
"Lydia's pregnancy has been confirmed by the hospital! According to insiders, Lydia went to JD Central Hospital's OB/GYN department for a pregnancy test not long ago and confirmed her pregnancy!"
The news of Lydia's pregnancy was all over the internet and became the number one trending topic on the internet at an alarming rate, making it the most popular topic on Weibo at the moment! Lydia was pregnant, Lydia and Euan were expecting a baby, Euan was becoming a father ...
The news swept through all the websites with unstoppable force, and Lydia and Euan's names were searched and clicked on for over 100 million hits in less than half an hour.
"BOSS, something's happened! Turn on your computer and watch the news right now!"
Elijah's voice was hoarse. He pushed open the door to the president's office and shouted a loud hiss, ignoring Euan's look of disgust.
Euan stared at him coldly, "What's wrong?"
Elijah was spinning in place in a frenzy. He was anxious, angry, and frantic, "BOSS, you ... you ... see for yourself!"
He wanted to say, "How can you make such cheap mistakes that ordinary men make! You are Mr. George! You are my BOSS!
Euan slid the mouse impatiently and glanced at the news that dominated the entire screen. The accompanying picture showed Lydia wearing an oversized mask, a duck-tongue hat, and being escorted by Sia through the hotel doors.
The eye-catching title was quite unpleasant to the eye.
"Lydia Is Pregnant: Marriage to the George family is just around the corner!"
"Pregnant with Euan's baby, but too afraid to admit it, Lydia is 'carrying the weight' of love."
Euan's clean, slender fingers tapped his forehead, "Pregnant?"
Seeing his unhurried look, Elijah almost cried, "BOSS, just stop being so calm! The press is jammed up downstairs! You ... my goodness! You're a celebrity now! Oh my god, BOSS!"
Euan tapped his long fingers on the desk in an unhurried rhythm, "Contact Lydia."
"You're not going to see her now, are you? If you go see her, her pregnancy will be confirmed and so will the fact that you're the father!"
'BOSS, don't be stupid!'
Euan raised his eyebrows, "What? You're not congratulating me on becoming a father?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
