After the Divorce: From Heartbreak to Heiress Boss novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42 Sudden Stomachache

Leah smiled and looked at Quentin mockingly. "Quite the contrary, actually. I'm just not willing to answer it."

"You..."

Quentin began, but Leah interrupted him. "What's the matter? I learned it from you."

Quentin, recalling that he hadn't answered Leah's questions earlier, fell into silence instantly.

Leah had no intention of waiting for him to speak again. She picked up her bag and stood up.

"The contract is signed. If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way."

Quentin replied indifferently, "Hmm."

Leah thought, "What's with the high and mighty act? Does he really think I don't know what kind of man he is?"

Rolling her eyes at him, Leah walked toward the office door.

However, just as she was about to step out of Quentin's office, a sharp, twisting pain suddenly gripped her stomach.

The unbearable pain surged through her body, causing her to let out an involuntary groan.

"Ugh..."

Leah could barely stand still. She struggled to support herself against the door frame to prevent her from collapsing.

Quentin, who had been engrossed in his work, noticed Leah's distress, so he looked up and glanced at her.

Seeing her miserable look, he smiled mockingly and taunted,

"What's the matter? You were so aggressive just now, but now you look so fragile. Or could it be that you're playing hard to get?"

The waves of pain coursing through her body left Leah unable to muster the strength to retort.

The redness on her face was gradually drained, and her forehead was drenched with sweat.

She bit her lip hard, refusing to cry out in pain.
