But before he could finish speaking, Shelmaine had already hung up and blacklisted his number.

She no longer intended to have any contact with them. As for Demi’s fate, it was no longer her concern either.

It was Demi’s bad luck to have run into Natasha, and what would happen next depended on whether or not Demi had really “taken” the diamond ring

Besides, Shelmine was struggling herself. Her morning sickness was severe, and Dora had caught her vomiting at the studio once. She couldn’t hold it in, and Dora, thinking that she just had an upset stomach, even ordered takeout and sent over some antacids

Jennifer had been coming to the studio more frequently too. During their discussions, Shemaine tried to hold it together, but her brows were furrowed, and her face w incredibly pale

Jennifer quickly noticed that something was wrong and asked, “Are you feeling unwell? Why is your face so pale?!

However, Shelmaine didn’t answer. She merely covered her mouth and pointed to the restroom. Then, she went to the restroom, closed the door, and turned on the faucet to dry- heave

When she came back out, Jennifer had picked up her phone from the desk. “Your phone has been ringing nonstop Are you feeling better?” she asked.

“I feel better Thanks.”

Shelmaine took her phone and answered the call. But to her dismay, it was Brody’s voice on the other end.

Shelmaine didn’t want to see anyone related to Samuel, including his driver.

“Ms. Clarke, it’s Brody,” Brody spoke politely.

“What’s the matter?” Shelmaine’s voice was cold.

“Do you have a moment? I need to trouble you with something.” Brody was still very respectful.

Samuel didn’t respond immediately, so Shelmaine vented her frustration.

“Merting you was the start of my bad luck. Samuel, you’ve been deceiving me from the start. Are you pleased? Are you secretly mocking me?”

*What are you talking about? Samuel asked. It seemed like he was pretending to not understand.

Shelmaine couldn’t contain her anger. “I know you come from a wealthy background, and your family looks down on me. But I never expected you to have me meet your tumily either. So, there’s no need for Ms. Grea to krep delivering me messages to show me the disparity between us.

“We’re divorced. Do you think it’s amusing for her to come to me and spout nonsense?
