Chapter 475 Anger and Jealousy



Chapter 475 Anger and Jealousy

"Finally!" Isaac Lee beamed at the sight of Demi. He stopped eating his toasts and leaned back on his chair. "Take a seat, Demi." He eyed his assistant who accompanied Demi. Seeing Ron nod at him, a sly smile escaped the old man's wizened face. He took a sip of his tea and watched as the servants served Demi and Ron their own beverage. "How was it?" He eyed Ron, who was sitting to his left.

"We have a confirmation. Zhou Jingren left the hotel around eleven in the evening. He must have panicked when he realized that he had slept with Demi."

"And the person who went to get Lily last night? Who was it?"

"The car was tinted but our people say it was a driver that they rented when they arrived here," Ron answered. A confident smile was on his face as he eyed his niece. "Demi… now that something already happened, you should also inform your father about this matter."

Demi's face reddened in response. She immediately avoided everyone's gaze and lowered her head.

"Demi… it's alright… you did the right thing. Lily is a very prideful woman. She would never allow her husband to sleep with another woman. I'm sure a piece of news like this would devastate her." Isaac said. He looked at Thomas to his right and frowned. "Did you schedule lunch with Lily?"

"Yes, Father." He nodded and continued eating.

"You seemed so silent since last night. Is there something that you want to tell me?" Isaac knitted his brows. "Did something happen?"

"No father. I just… I think meeting a woman like Lily surprised me. I still feel my blood boil every time I think of her." He gritted his teeth and returned the old man's gaze. "The arrogance of that woman knows no bounds!"

"Hmmm." Old Man Lee nodded and shifted his gaze back to Demi. Gentleness clouded his gaze. "Are you sure you were fertile, last night? Did the doctor confirmed this?"

Demi's face reddened as she bashfully nodded. "Yes, Uncle…"

"Aiyo… stop calling me Uncle. Call me grandfather instead." Isaac laughed. Ron's plan was just genius! Who would have thought that the whole thing would show such wonderful results? "Alright… I want you to have a weekly check-up with the doctor. Just so we will have an idea when you are already pregnant. Meanwhile… I will go and meet Lily, alone."

"Grandfather… are you sure that is a good idea?" When Isaac heard Demi call him grandfather, a chuckle escaped his lips.

"What do you mean?" 

"Well — I… I think this is not the right time for a confrontation. I believe that— "

"This is the best time for a confrontation," Isaac said. "This will create a rift in their marriage. She might not divorce him immediately. But… the trust is no longer there. And once you show up in Hong Kong with a fetus in your womb. The marriage will completely shatter." His smile had a hint of certainty. 

In old man Lee's mind, a woman like Lily would never tolerate cheating in a relationship. She would rather leave him than stay with a man whom she cannot trust.

"My fear is if… she will do something to hurt Demi." Ron voiced out his concerns. "My niece is a vulnerable woman, the exact opposite of Lily. If you tell Lily about this matter now, then there is a possibility that she will have her people hunt my niece down. We don't really know how that woman thinks."

"Hmmm," Old Man Lee nodded as he held his chin. "Then, I will have someone follow Demi around. Since her father is always away for business, we can have her stay in this house with me and Thomas. The security is pretty good in this building. You can also stay with her if you want to." He looked at Demi, then into her stomach. "From now on our priority is her safety."

"That is a very good arrangement." Ron smiled. "Demi… all we can do now is wait. Let Old Man Lee handle things from now on. You will be carrying his future grandchild so you have to be extra careful and take care of yourself."

A smile escaped Demi's lips as she eyed her uncle and Isaac. "Thank you."

"This is the least that we can do. You have already sacrificed a lot by doing what you did last night." The old man blurted. "I never thought that you would agree to do that. After all… the risk is pretty high. The drug that we used was aggressive and Zhou Jingren could have hurt you instead."

Demi only smiled at his words as she recalled all the bruises that she had in her body. She pursed her lips. The pain that she felt last night was necessary. Demi sneered inwardly as she recalled Lily telling her that there is no competition. Lily's confidence was so infuriating. Until now, she could still feel her blood boil at the thought of that arrogant smirk.

Demi couldn't wait to see Lily's face once she tells her that she was pregnant. Would she cry? Would she turn red in anger and jealousy? Excitement spark in Demi's eyes. However, on the outside, she kept her composure and started drinking her tea. "My only fear is if he will hate our child." She blurted, interrupting the old man and his uncle's conversation.

Demi wanted assurance. She wanted to make sure that everyone would support her on this journey. So what if Zhou Jingren does not like her now? She is beautiful, capable, and confident. She will be a great mother to his child. She will take care of him and do everything that she could to please him. 

She was sure that sooner or later, Zhou Jingren would grow to like her and eventually love her.

"He won't." Old Man Lee responded. "How could he do that to an innocent child?"

"Demi… stop worrying about these things. For now… you need to take care of yourself. I know that you are watching your weight, but a pregnant woman needed to prepare her body for another life. You have to eat more nutritious food and avoid stress. Let us take care of everything." Ron gave his niece a smile full of assurance.

"I understand. I will do that for the baby," Demi's smile was kind and gentle. She just couldn't wait to announce to the world that she is pregnant with Zhou Jingren's child.
