My Destiny Is To Become Billionaire’s Wife

“What does this have to do with Kevin?” Mrs. Emily, assuming that Ansel wanted to evade responsibility, continued to insult him: “Are you planning to find someone to take the blame instead of yourself, Ansel? It’s truly disgraceful. Your parents will surely be ashamed of you.”

“I have no reason to do so when Kevin himself is your daughter’s secret lover,” Ansel calmly revealed, disregarding Mrs. Emily’s insults. “I witnessed with my own eyes the two of them engaging in an intimate act in the meeting room on the night of the event.”

Mr. Brown and Mrs. Hani both revealed their astonishment at what Ansel shared. Desi’s father also displayed his reaction by expressing doubt.

“How dare you make false accusations and tarnish Desi’s honor?” Mrs. Emily angrily scolded Once again, Ansel paid no attention to her.

“Is what I’m saying true, Desi? Speak up.” Ansel looked at her, demanding, “The reason I kept this secret is to avoid the impact on the cooperative relationship between our two families. If I had known beforehand that you were trying every possible way to trap me, I would have exposed your deceit and betrayal right at that event. So that the whole world would know what kind of person you are.”

While Desi panicked, not expecting Ansel to know about her relationship with Kevin, Mrs. Emily stubbornly insisted that Ansel was trying to escape blame. The series of revelations being exposed deeply shocked Mrs. Hani, on the other hand.

“Ansel, I never expected you to become like this. Not only are you shirking responsibility for your actions, but you’re also shifting the blame onto others.”

Mrs. Emily continued to accuse Ansel.

“I will call Kevin here to let him speak the truth openly,” Ansel declared boldly, taking out his phone from his pocket.

Afraid that Kevin’s arrival would bring disadvantages to her, Desi immediately thwarted Ansel’s actions by pretending to have stomach pain, sobbing, and groaning, which left Mrs. Emily in a state of panic. Ansel ceased his movement, looking at Desi with an expression of intense derision. Ansel suspected that Desi intentionally did this to avoid the impending disaster that was about to befall her.

“Oh, Desi, what happened to you?” Mrs. Emily anxiously asked

“I’m feeling stomach pain. The doctor said that pregnant women should avoid excessive stress as it can affect the fetus,” Desi replied.

“Quick, take Desi to the resting room,” Mrs. Hani immediately suggested.

Having said that, Mrs. Hani led the way as Mrs. Emily guided Desi along. Ansel felt dissatisfied with Desi’s choice to escape. He wanted to resolve this matter once and for all and bring it to a definitive end. However, he didn’t know what reason to provide in order to convince Desi to stay. If he were to insist on keeping her here and confront everything head-on, he would inevitably face opposition from Mrs. Emily and even his own mother. Sensing Ansel’s inner turmoil, Erica decided to do something that would catch everyone off guard.

“We’re in the middle of a conversation; where are you rushing off to, Desi?” Erica unexpectedly spoke up, capturing everyone’s attention.

“Don’t you see what’s happening? Why would you ask such a question?” Mrs. Emily responded with an irritated tone, not forgetting to insult Erica: “Or are you blind?”

“I can examine Desi’s health. You know, pregnancy is not a simple matter. We need to quickly identify the cause, or both the mother and the fetus could be in danger,” Erica suggested.

“No need,” Mrs. Emily coldly refused. “Our family’s affairs don’t require your interference.”

After speaking, she continued to guide Desi away, but Erica intervened.

“You don’t need to pretend anymore, Desi. I am a doctor, and I know you’re lying.” Erica’s voice suddenly turned chillingly intense.

“What are you talking about?” Mrs. Hani and Mrs. Emily both looked at Erica incredulously. “Don’t spout such arrogant words,” Mrs. Emily scolded Erica.

Not bothering to argue with Desi’s mother any further, Erica turned to speak with Ansel.

“Ansel, call Kevin and ask him to come here so that we can talk. I don’t think it’s necessary for Desi to be present,” Erica suggested.

Feeling somewhat perplexed but then understanding Erica’s plan, Ansel willingly cooperated with her to expose Desi’s deceitful actions.

“I agree with you.” Ansel nodded in agreement, proceeding with the call. Desi felt a sense of fear and apprehension in the face of Ansel’s resolute demeanor.

“Ansel, maybe Kevin won’t actually come,” Erica interjected, offering a different viewpoint in the midst of everyone’s tension.

Ansel furrowed his brow, intrigued by Erica’s statement. “Why do you think that Kevin might not show up?” he asked, his voice filled with curiosity and a hint of concern. The tension in the room seemed to amplify as they awaited Erica’s response.

“It’s very possible that he has been bribed and is determined to keep his mouth shut. It won’t be easy for us to extract information from him,” Erica suggested.

“You’re right,” Ansel agreed with Erica, putting his phone back into his pocket.

Desi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ansel put his phone back in his pocket.

“Now, what do we do?” Ansel asked Erica.

“It seems like the discussion has come to an end. There’s no reason for us to stay here any longer,” Erica calmly stated. “I have an appointment at a bridal shop this afternoon. Can you take me there to look at wedding dresses?”

“Of course, my love,” Ansel chuckled. “Let’s go now, but before we head there, let’s stop by a restaurant. I missed lunch because of this trivial matter.”

“And it’s such a pity that I didn’t have the chance to taste the dishes you cooked at home,” Ansel added, expressing his regret.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“Well, I’ll make it up to you next time with a different dish,” Erica said sweetly, and Ansel smiled with satisfaction. They held hands and walked towards the door, not saying a word to anyone.

“Stop right there, Ansel Brown!” Mrs. Emily exclaimed angrily.

“What’s the matter with you? Isn’t everything finished?” Ansel halted, turned around, and pretended to ask, “What else do you want?”

“This matter is not yet resolved; do you hear me? If you haven’t finished solving it today, you will not be allowed to leave here,” Mrs. Emily declared firmly, displaying the fierce determination of a mother protecting her daughter.

“To sum it up, I will not marry Desi,” Ansel decisively declared. “No matter what you do, it won’t change that. Furthermore, Erica and I are preparing for our own wedding. We have many things to do and no time to stay here and watch your boring play.”

“What wedding?” Desi exclaimed in surprise, “You two… Is it true, Erica?” Desi didn’t want to ask Ansel directly, so she looked at Erica instead.

“That’s right,” Erica calmly replied.

“What’s going on? Didn’t you say you would let go of Ansel and let him come back to me?” Desi’s voice grew louder as she asked. She moved from her position and approached Erica, seeking an explanation. Desi couldn’t accept the fact that Ansel and Erica were getting ready for their wedding.

“Indeed, I agreed with you, so what?” Erica innocently asked.

“What do you mean by that?” Desi snapped, irritated. “I’ve already agreed to comply with your demands, haven’t I?”

“So what?” Erica maintained an indifferent attitude in her response.

“How can you so easily and quickly go back on your word?” Desi accused, “What kind of person are you? A deceitful liar…”

“Desi, you must be misunderstanding something,” Erica calmly explained.

“Misunderstanding? What could I possibly be misunderstanding?” Desi argued, “Everyone here can testify. It was you who said…”

“I did say I would grant your wish,” Erica interrupted Desi, “but only after the child is born, and of course if the child is Ansel’s. I never said I would let go of Ansel. Whether you marry Ansel or not is a matter that will unfold in a few months. But for now, Ansel and I are preparing for our wedding. Is there any problem with that?”

Desi suddenly realized that she had been deceived by Erica and that others had also been fooled by Erica’s innocent and friendly appearance.

“You…” Desi growled, wanting to lash out and verbally attack Erica.

“What about me?” Erica asked, almost teasing Desi.

“Are you toying with me?” Desi asked, full of doubt.

“You can see it that way,” Erica responded.

“Why would you dare? You despicable person.”

“I find it quite enjoyable.”

“What?” Desi was so infuriated by Erica’s provocation that her face turned red. The others present also felt a sense of anger on behalf of Desi.

“You’ve been having a lot of fun playing pranks with Ansel as well,” Erica explained casually. “So, I wanted to experience the joy of playing pranks with you. I must admit, it’s quite entertaining.”

“You wretched brat,” Desi couldn’t contain her language and behavior any longer. In an instant, her composed image crumbled. Seeing Desi getting heated, Erica added fuel to the fire:

“This reaction shows you’re still in good health, right? It looks like your abdominal pain is gone. Congratulations.” Erica’s smile seemed to be mocking Desi.

Hearing Erica’s words, Mrs. Hani finally noticed that Desi had returned to her normal self.

“Desi, you…” Mrs. Hani was shocked to the point of being speechless. Desi turned pale as she realized that she had completely fallen into Erica’s plan. It was over; Desi’s deception had been exposed.
