Chapter 152 – A Sacrificial Lamb’s Unexpected Marriage

Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

It seemed to Oriana like she had heard a wild joke.

“You can’t be my stepmother. Moreover, I already disowned Patrick. So, does this mean that you’ll cooperate, huh?”

Pearl was extremely dazed, and she could not even utter a word. The thought of being a stepmother to Pamela and Gabriella made her shiver.

Moreover, the Hendrix family was now an empty shell, and Patrick completely depended on his daughter.

Pearl was only in her twenties. How could she marry a man in his fifties?

Initially, she had wanted making enough money off Patrick, after that she would leave the city and find a tall, handsome man that she love and get married to.

Oriana’s bright and clear eyes could clearly see all of Pearl’s calculation, and a sneer appeared on her lips,

“Pearl, my dad did give you a lot of money, right? Well, if I’m to advise, I’ll ask you to move away before Monica and her daughters look onto your direction. And please, hurry up and tell me what I need to know, I ain’t got a lot of patience.”

Pearl’s psychological defense had been brutally broken. She still had time to escape with the money that Patrick had given her.

“Alright, I’ll tell you where old Mr. Hendrix is.” Pearl muttered in defeat.

In the hospital hallway, the nurse pushed Monica out of the operating room. Pamela had already rushed over. She looked nervously at the doctor, and inquired,

“Doctor, how is my mother? Is the child safe?”

The doctor shook his head sadly.

“The child is gone. We just evacuated the fetus from her womb. The patient is already an older woman, hence the baby couldn’t survive. In future, if she happens to get pregnant again, her family need to pay utmost attention to her, else she’ll definitely not be able to deliver the child successfully.

Once the doctor was done speaking, Pamela nodded and thanked him.

Patrick was hit hard by the news. He never thought that he would push his son away.

“Dad, what’s going on? Isn’t Pearl Gabriella’s bestfriend? How did you get together with her? Mom was pregnant, and this time, the child was a boy.” Pamela spoke sadly.

Patrick was already very sad about the loss of his son. Now that he was accused of having a lover outside by Pamela, he was in a more bad mood.

“Pamela, you are fully aware of all the sh itty things that your mother did in the past. And then your ask why I keep a lover? If your mother didn’t come to embarrass me at the hotel, do you think I would have pushed her away?”

“Dad, but…”

“Stay here with your mom. I’ll leave now.” Patrick folded his sleeves and walked out of the hospital.

Pamela froze and her eyes reddened from anger. She was trying so hard to climb the ladder of success, but her parents kept pulling her back.

Pamela turned around, and a slender figure approached her.

After Oriana was done dealing with Pearl, she headed straight to see Monica.

“What are you doing here?” Pamela questioned defensively.

“I know that Monica is pregnant. And I also planned the entire happenings of today. Oh, by the way, there’s one more thing. Pearl told me where grandpa is. I have already sent someone to pick him

Pamela stared at Oriana in shock.

She must not have access to the old man!

Oriana walked over and stopped by Pamela’s side. She whispered into her ear,

“Pamela, are you afraid? Grandpa will wake in no time. And the truth about what happened ten years ago will soon be revealed. You pushed grandpa with your hands, you know that you did.”

Pamela’s face turned pale, and panic and fear instantly clouded her.

However, she quickly calmed her self.

“Oriana, I also have something to tell you. Deacon wants to divorce you, right?”

When Pamela mentioned her divorce, Oriana felt her heart ache..

Pamela took out her phone from her pocket.

“Oriana, let me show you something interesting. Boss Armstead didn’t go home last night, right? Guess what? He was with me!”

Oriana took the phone and clicked on the video. The video was secretly filmed by Pamela in the presidential suite of KissLand bar.

Pamela and Deacon laid on the same bed. Deacon stretched out his arms, and buried his handsome face in her long hair.

Oriana’s eyelashes trembled slightly. She looked at Deacon’s handsome face severally before she finally confirmed that it was indeed him in the video.

Oriana held the phone tightly.

“Oriana, as you can see, Deacon and I are together now. Deacon was originally mine. That marriage of yours was a huge mistake. Quickly divorce him and let him return to me.”

Oriana raised her head and asked.

“Is that all?”

Oriana threw the phone to Pamela, then turned around and left.

Pamela had froze. She was really angry. She didn’t expect that Oriana would react that way to the video.

Pamela scoffed and went to check up on her mother..

After Oriana left the hospital, she took out her phone and called North.

The call was swiftly connected, and North’s soft voice passed over,

“Oriana, I’ve already sent the old man to the hospital. The bodyguards are watching him each second. Don’t worry. I’m here as well.”

Oriana felt a wave of warmth flow across her heart. Sure enough, a human needed a friend to rely on. “North, thank you for your help. I won’t come over tonight, just in case Pamela’s has sent someone to follow me.

“No problem, Olly. There are doctors and professional caregivers here. The old man is recuperating quite well. You can go on with your Mr. Armstead.”

Hearing Deacon’s name, Oriana bowed her head slowly.

“Oriana, is something wrong?” North had been Oriana’s bestfriend for years. She could instantly decipher when Oriana’s mood changed.

Oriana looked beneath her feet, and nodded,

“Yes.”

“It’s normal for a husband and wife to quarrel, but do not allow the quarrel to linger till the next day.” North paused and then continued,

“In order for Pamela and the others not to take advantage of you guys fight, I advise you coax your husband tenderly. Coax and dote on your husband. That way, you’ll hold him firmly in your hands, and no one can take him away.”

Oriana was amused.

“North, the last I checked, you didn’t have a boyfriend. How do you know so much?”

“I think you fail to understand that I came to this earth to study men.” North muttered and then let out a low laugh.

Oriana’s mood improved a lot. She knew fully well that North was teasing her.

However, Oriana halted for a while, because her vision was slowly turning blur. And suddenly, she could not see anymore.

“North, I’ll head home. I’ll talk to you later,”

“Okay, girl.” North hung up.

Oriana put away her phone. She didn’t mention to North about her condition, for she feared that North would discover her abnormality.

Her eyes weren’t capable of seeing anything. The entire world before her became dark. An instinctive panic and uneasiness swept across her. Oriana stood still and didn’t move.

She quickly took her phone from her hand bag, instinctively, she clicked on Deacon’s number which was pinned in her contact list, then she placed a call to him.

The phone rang once, and then it was picked up. Deacon’s low and magnetic voice sounded,

“Hello?”

Oriana tightened her grip on her phone.

“Mr. Armstead, it’s me, are you still at the company? Can you come over and pick me up?”

“Where are you?”

“I’m at the Blueberry Hospital.”

Soon, a Rolls-Royce Phantom car slowly stopped by the roadside, and the front window slid down, revealing a handsome face.

Deacon was here.

Deacon was clothed in a black shirt. The sleeves of his shirt were rolled up. From the steering wheel, one could tell that he was of noble birth.

Deacon turned his head and saw Oriana standing on the other side of the road.

Oriana wore a short dark red knitted sweater and black pencil pants. Her long, beautiful hair fell freely on her shoulder.

“Mr. Armstead?” Oriana called out.

Deacon focused his attention on her, and he was reluctant to look away. However, he muttered coldly,

“I don’t have time at the moment. Go home yourself.”

“Mr. Armstead, L…” Oriana wanted to speak, but Deacon had already hung up the phone.

Deacon had to force himself to end the call, before her tender voice would bewitch him.

There was a message which was on the screen of his phone. It was from Marvin. He had informed Deacon that Oriana was poisoned and needed to go with him to Imperial, in order for her to be saved.

Deacon leaned his back against the seat.

Oriana was poisoned, and Marvin wanted taking her urgently to Imperial. Deacon narrowed his handsome eyes, and his lips arched self-deprecatingly. He had already filed for the divorce.

An exclamation suddenly sounded in his ear.

“Get the hell out of the way! Move out of the way!”

Deacon raised his eyes and saw that someone was riding a scooter, and was about to bump into Oriana.

The man had shouted to jilt Oriana back to reality. But Oriana stood stup idly as if she had forgotten how to move.
