"Jane, why are you here instead of resting at home?"

I said calmly, "I need to talk to you. Jessica, you come too."

William glanced at Jessica, guilt written all over his face.

He pulled me aside and whispered, "Stop making a scene. I’ll explain at home."

I raised my voice, "It’s just a meal, what are you scared of?"

Everyone in the office stared, leaving William no choice but to agree.

At the restaurant, William ordered a few dishes and reminded the waiter to skip the onions.

He remembered Jessica didn’t eat onions but forgot I couldn’t have anything fishy or spicy during my confinement.

Jessica said she wanted to try the trendy ice cream across the street, and he dashed off to get it without a word.

I knew Jessica sent him away on purpose.

Sure enough, after he left, Jessica propped her chin and spoke cruelly with the sweetest smile, "I heard you were almost gang-raped not long after I went abroad."

I took a sip of coffee and asked, "William told you?"

"Who else?" Jessica raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "He also said that just looking at you makes him feel dirty and disgusting, and he doesn't want to touch you at all."

Hearing this, my knuckles turned white gripping the cup.

"So, you're okay being his mistress?"

Jessica's face changed and she snapped, "Mistress gets all his love."

Instead of getting mad, I asked, "If he loves you so much, why doesn't he marry you?"

Jessica glared at me like I'd hit a nerve.

Don't be so smug! She sneered, "You're just a hen that can't lay eggs. Sooner or later, I'll replace you and become Mrs. Brown!"

She quickly regained her composure, a fake smile on her pretty face.

William is so good to me. He bought me a luxury apartment, took me to Disneyland. Last week, we even vacationed in Bali. By the way, I heard you lost your fetus last week? She clapped her hands in mock delight. "Congratulations—"

Before she could finish, I poured the remaining coffee in my cup on her face.

Jessica was about to curse when she saw William walking towards us.

She immediately squeezed out a few tears and cried to William, acting innocent.

"Jane called me a vixen and said I seduced you..."

William was furious. He shielded Jessica and looked at me like I was a monster.

"Jane, Jessica and I are innocent, you should apologize to her right now!"

Innocent?

How could he even say that with a straight face?
