Love from My Dominant Boss - Season 3 Episode 67

A shocked expression that I’d never seen on him before painted his face. His eyes lit up as he stared at my belly.

Ever since I knew him, he had always been a matured and steady man who could hide his emotion well. Yet, the moment he heard the news of me getting pregnant, an inexplicable gleam flashed across his eyes. Well, is it surprise or excitement?

The gleam faded so fast that I nearly missed it. Meanwhile, silence blanketed the scene as everyone looked at me in utter disbelief.

After all, it was indeed a surprise when I suddenly appeared and dropped that bomb at Michael’s wedding. Moreover, Michael had officially announced to the public that he loved me before.

The scene today was undoubtedly a slap to Emma’s face.

Josephine, who was standing behind me, looked at me in astonishment as well. The moment she came to her senses, she quickly walked over to my side, her gaze falling on my belly.

“Are… you really pregnant with Michael’s child?” she asked, her voice trembling.

As expected, everyone present was astounded by the shocking piece of news.

“Mrs. Shaw, I will never joke about such a matter. I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, you can have a look at the medical report.”

I took out the pregnancy test report from my bag and handed it to Josephine to prove my words.

She snatched it over and flipped through the report urgently.

Meanwhile, Emma glanced at the people down the stage. When she saw that everyone’s attention was solely on me, she couldn’t help but feel annoyed. After all, she was the bride.

After looking through the report, Josephine had started to believe me. Seeing that, Emma quickly approached her and persuaded, “Mrs. Shaw, don’t listen to her nonsense. She’s trying to interfere with our wedding by making up that lie. As you know, things like pregnancy test reports can be forged, so we must not be deceived!”

I looked at Emma coldly. My hatred toward her deepened. She had known about my pregnancy for a long while, yet here she was, lying through her teeth.

“You knew about my pregnancy long ago. Don’t you feel disgusted to say now?”

However, since Emma was the daughter-in-law who Josephine acknowledged, the latter, of course, sided with her. Even though the reports were enough to prove my words, she still chose not to trust me. Instead, she looked at Michael to ask his opinion with a frown.

“Michael, what do you say?” she asked, embarrassment coursing through her. “How should we deal with this matter? As for the wedding between you and Emma…”

“Cancel the wedding!”

Michael turned around and left swiftly after saying that.

He must be so angry. After all, I’d ruined his wedding. Moreover, with so many reporters present on the scene, what happened now would surely make it to the news headline the next day and it would affect his image.

Once the people left, Michael’s secretary brought me to his mansion. There, he, Emma, and Josephine were sitting in the living room, waiting for me. Emma looked so wronged as she sat beside Josephine, with traces of tears on her face.

Josephine looked at her in distress as she kept comforting her. At that moment, they looked so much like a pair of mother and daughter.

Upon noticing my arrival, they looked daggers at me.

Josephine stood up first, approaching me and stopping right in front of me. Even though she hadn’t said anything, I could already sense her immense fury.

“Ms. Garcia, state your price.”

I was taken aback by her request. The moment the realization hit me, I couldn’t help but furrow my brows.

“Mrs. Shaw, I don’t know what you’re saying.”

She might be Michael’s mother, but I didn’t want to fawn over her. Thus, the least I could do was to respect her.

Seeing that I was acting dumb, instead of flying into a rage, she looked at me calmly and cut to the chase. “I believe that none of us are dumb here. You ruined the wedding today for money, right? Why don’t you name your price already? As long as it’s affordable, the Shaw family will not let you down.”

I was an idiot if I still couldn’t understand her meaning at that point. However, her words were humiliating to me. Is that how they interpret my action today? For money?

“Mrs. Shaw, I think you’ve misunderstood me. I did all this because I love Michael and want to be with him. It has nothing to do with money.”

Looking at her calmly, I tried to convince her with my sincerity.

I knew that Michael loved me and that he only married Emma for the sake of the future of his company. Despite not knowing if my action would anger him, I had to fight for myself as I didn’t want to regret it later.

Josephine was about to say something when Emma suddenly stood up and beat her to it. “How greedy you are, Anna! You said you love Michael, but who will believe that? Do you think I don’t know what’s on your mind? You don’t accept the money because you think you can get more by being his wife.”

My patience for her had totally dissipated ever since I knew she had planned to end my life the previous day. As I raised my head, my icy gaze struck her eyes.

“You know perfectly well the reason I’m doing this. Don’t ever think you can do anything you want just because you’re wealthy, Emma. If you dare hurt my child, I won’t hesitate to bring you to hell with me.”

Remembering the harrowing accident the previous day, I had the urge to strangle her to death. She should be grateful that nothing happened to my child. Otherwise, I would never let her off.

Fear gleamed in her eyes. However, it dissipated within seconds. After all, she came from a rich and powerful family, so naturally, she wouldn’t take a threat from an ordinary person seriously.

“Are you threatening me?”

Emma widened her eyes as she glared at me. She sounded arrogant as she knew that I wouldn’t dare to do anything in front of Michael and Josephine.
