Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
The huffy woman could only say in an aggrieved manner, “I was just worried about your health. After all, you’re pregnant, aren’t you?”
She looked at Cecelia’s belly.
Cecelia’s belly was already starting to show a little. Jessica immediately said, “I heard you are one month pregnant? Why does your belly look like you are three months pregnant instead, though?”
As soon as she said that, Cecelia’s eyes flickered.
She was so scared that she looked straight at Jessica. However, the other party had a sincere look on her face as though she didn’t mean anything else by what she said.
Cecelia breathed a sigh of relief.
She must have been thinking too much. At this time, there was activity at the door again. Everyone turned their heads to see Thomas walking in.
He even had a bouquet of flowers in his hand when he entered.
At the sight of him, everyone looked at one another.
To be honest, in a divorce between two wealthy families, it was impossible for the two families to break off all ties with each other–because the two families’ businesses had already become entangled with each other’s at the point of marriage. This was the reason why so many people would rather have their own relationships in private than divorce.
Driven by interests, to be honest, even Jessica didn’t actually want to fall out with the Livingstones, either.
The reason for the birthday party today, as well as why she had even invited Thomas to the party, was actually so that she could give Thomas the evidence of Cecelia’s cheating behind closed doors. By choosing to tell them the truth before Cecelia and Thomas got married, one could say that she was showing the Livingstones goodwill.
After that, they would publicly announce that Thomas and Helen’s divorce was not because of Helen’s infertility.
Jessica knew that this way of doing things was actually very frustrating.
But she had no other choice.
This was the way it was in the world of grown-ups. Jessica’s plans were very beautifully thought-out.
Seeing that Thomas was also being very supportive and had even brought flowers, she breathed a sigh of relief at once. She walked over and said, “You’re here.”
Thomas had always had a good reputation among outsider. This was also why Mrs. Livingstone was sure that the Livingstones’ reputation wouldn’t suffer even if they divorced.
He looked straight at Helen and handed her the bouquet. He said, “A night of love is worth a hundred days of friendship after all. Even though we are no longer husband and wife, we are still friends. If you ever need my help, you can approach me.”
During the divorce the day before, the bastard had said such scummy things in private, causing Helen to leave in fury.
But when he said those words today… Even though she knew very well that the man’s words were not to be trusted and were false, in that instant, Helen still felt like crying.
As she held her tears back, she lowered her head, took the flowers from him, and nodded.
Then, she said, “Excuse me, I have to go for a change of clothes.”
After speaking, she turned and walked upstairs.
Jessica wanted to follow her, but more guests arrived at the door at this point. As the hostess, Jessica had to greet them.
A bored Nora was about to follow Helen when Thomas stopped her. He said, “Ms. Smith-“
The man’s smile made him look very cheap.
Nora raised her brows.
Elsewhere, Helen had reached the stairwell on the third floor. She was about to turn the corner when she heard a voice come from behind her: “Helen.”
Surprised, she looked back to see that Cecelia had followed after her at some point and was standing on the step below her.
After Cecelia came up, she held her hand and said, “I have something to tell you.”
Helen stared at her and snapped angrily, “Are you here to tell me that the child is not Thomas’?”
Cecelia’s expression changed drastically at once!
She said, “What nonsense are you talking about?!”
Helen sneered, “The bellies of women only one month pregnant won’t show at all! They only show up when they are at least three months pregnant! But Thomas was not in the country at all three months ago. Heh, did Thomas take you abroad with him?” Cecelia clenched her fists and narrowed her eyes. “What nonsense are you talking about? My baby is only one month old. My belly is only showing because I have been eating too much recently, so I have gained weight! I know you can’t have children, so you’re venting your anger on me, but even so, surely you can’t slander me like that, right?”
Helen took a deep breath. “Then we’ll just wait for the Livingstones to do the DNA test when you’re four months pregnant!”
She turned to leave.
However, Cecelia grabbed her arm and held it tightly. She sneered, “You are just jealous of me, right? That’s why you’re saying things like waiting for me to become four months pregnant and whatnot. Mark my words, I won’t give you the opportunity to do that!”
After speaking, she suddenly let go and fell backward!
No one noticed what was happening to them. At that moment, Nora, who had been stopped by Thomas, yawned sleepily and asked, “You need something?”
Thomas smiled. “You sure are stubborn, Ms. Smith! Given how things are, you still told my grandaunt that I’m sick?”.
Nora looked at him and replied seriously, “You really are sick.”
“You’re the one that’s goddamn sick!” Thomas suddenly lowered his voice and swore. He said, “Nora, don’t think that you’re my sister-in-law just because they say so! You’d best keep this in mind: Even if you’ve married Justin, I’m not to be trifled with, much less when you haven’t even married him yet!
“Also, I’d advise you to show my grandaunt respect. Otherwise, don’t blame me if I don’t hold back! I have a hundred ways to make your life a living hell!”
Nora: “?”
She asked curiously, “Which hundred ways are those?”
She only had the same few methods she used for interrogation, so she was really rather curious. If they proved useful, she could even tell Morris about them and impart them to the special department.
Thomas sneered, “Didn’t you just have a taste of the suffering that public opinion can bring? Everyone now knows that your alternative medicine skills are half-baked. Half of the power and authority that you established in the field of medicine has been destroyed by me! Ha!”
Nora sighed disappointedly. She wanted to tell him that it didn’t affect her in the least and that she didn’t feel anything at all. But before she could speak, a scream suddenly rang out from the side!!
Then, together with the scream, a thud rang out, like that of someone rolling down the stairs and then hitting the floor heavily!
Nora’s pupils shrank. She turned around abruptly and walked towards the stairs.
Thomas was also taken aback. “Why does that voice sound so much like Cecelia’s?”
Cecelia… It seemed like she had left with Helen just now.
One must know that Cecelia was currently pregnant with his child!
