Chapter 146
Chapter 146
“I’m not a drama queen like you.” With those words, I wanted nothing but to end the pointless argument and walk away.
“You’re not going anywhere! You owe me an explanation today!” Margaret suddenly charged at me, twisting her foot and lunging straight toward me deliberately.
Next to me was a large fountain!
She fell on me so hard that we both tumbled into the fountain, but I grabbed her arm,. dragging her down with me! She wanted us to go down together, so be it.
The icy water soaked us through instantly, filling my nose and wasn’t deep. Frantically searching for something to grab onto, gripped mine. “Jane!”
outh! Luckily, the water strong hand suddenly
In a flash, I was pulled out, wrapped in a coat, and pulled into a varm embrace.
I coughed violently, struggling to catch my breath, only to hear Mrk shouting toward the fountain, echoing Margaret’s struggles. “Don’t rescue her! Let her climb out on her own!”
His voice was harsh and menacing, like a demon from hell.
The security personnel didn’t dare move closer
Against the light, I couldn’t see Mark’s expression. A chill wind made me shiver, and the arms around me nearly sprinted!
The elevator took us straight to the executive office, where he carried me through the door, instructing his secretary as he walked, “Get a set of clothes, inside and out, and hurry!”
“Yes, Mr. Larson.” The secretary glanced at me before rushing off.
Mark went straight to the office’s restroom, gently setting me down and turning on the shower quickly, handing me a disposable towel.
His demeanor had softened. “Are you okay? Do you want to take a hot shower?”
“Yes.” Shivering, I waited for him to leave before stepping into the shower, letting the hot water revive me.
Compared to Bryant, I thought Margaret was the one who was unbearably disturbed, almost paranoid. She plagiarized me and then had the nerve to confront me.
After the hot shower, someone knocked on the bathroom door while I was thinking what to do next. “Ms. Webster, Mr. Larson had me bring you some clothes.”
“Thank you.” I cracked the door to take the clothes, everything provided from head to toe.

As I finished drying my hair and was about to leave, the door suddenly swung open, and Bryant advanced, his tall frame casting a shadow, his expression dark, and his gaze sharp as a blade! He seemed to radiate a terrifying anger as he approached.
Before I could react, Bryant scanned the room and harshly gripped my chin, his voice squeezed through clenched teeth. “You two weren’t together?”
His grip caused me pain.
“Who?”
A mocking smile appeared on his lips.
“Your lover!”
‘Bryant, you asshole!” I was stunned, then furious, pushing him away!
He dropped the cold smile, suddenly tightening his grip on my against the wall, his tone cold and harsh. “I’m the asshole? Jan down, and Mark said not to rescue her. What were you thinking.
ck and pinning me you pulled Margaret
I hit the wall hard, the pain searing. But inside, it felt like a deeper agony. I looked up, shocked at the man I’d loved for eight years, questioning me so fiercely over another woman as if an icy blade had stabbed through my heart.
A bitter smile crossed my lips, my voice hoarse. “Yeah, I was up to no good.. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth! So what?” NôvelDrama.Org content.
“Jane! It wasn’t her fault today!” His eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light, his grip tightening as if wishing to strangle me “That cold water! You knew she had just had a miscarriage a few days ago. Did you want her dead?”
Breathing became difficult, and my efforts to free myself were futile. Yet, I refused to give in, each word a struggle. “Did Margaret die? If she did, I’d throw a party right now….
Even if Margaret had died, I had no regrets! She killed my baby, and that was merely an eye for an eye.
Bryant’s brows furrowed, and he said coldly. “When did you become like this? Or did I never really see you?”
I gritted my teeth. “I’ve always been this way. If you want to avenge her so badly, kill me!” “You think I won’t?” His fury seemed to grow, his icy gaze fixed on me, his teeth clenched. “You better pray she’s fine! Otherwise, I’ll ensure you…”
YOU
Knock. “Ms. Webster, Mr. Larson has to attend a meeting. He told me to ensure have something to warm you up after your miscarriage. Would hot cocoa be okay?”
Outside, Mark’s secretary’s voice inquired.
My mind buzzed!
As I came to my senses, I saw Bryant freeze, his entire demeanor shocked, then filled with
a devastating rage, his eyes narrowing, his tone chilling. “You had a miscarriage? Whose

child?”
He suspected I carried another man’s child. I felt my already battered heart shatter further. At that moment, I couldn’t keep it inside any longer!
Holding back tears, I met his gaze. “The baby was nearly three months along the day I lost
It.”
And Mark had only been back in town for a short while.
Bryant froze, seeming to shrink in the silence, his eyes welling up. When he spoke again, his voice was gravelly. “Our… our baby?”
