The sight of the couple being intimate, combined with the painful memory of how she miscarried her two babies after being pushed down by Gianna, made Jessica burn with anger. Before she could barge into the room, however, Gianna slipped under Wyatt’s arms and shamelessly sat on his lap.
Jessica stared wide-eyed at the scene, the pain in her heart almost too much to bear.
“Don’t just keep working, Wyatt. Pay some attention to me!” Gianna whined as she wrapped her arms around the man’s neck. “Why bury yourself in work when you have me as your girlfriend? I can bring you so much more joy!”
Try as she might, Jessica couldn’t believe what she had just heard.
Girlfriend? Has Wyatt not tortured me enough by confining me here and humiliating me? Why has he brought his new girlfriend along? Is he just trying to add fuel to the fire?
The last straw for Jessica was when she saw Gianna lean in to kiss Wyatt. Not only was she disgusted to the core, but her anticipation of meeting the latter had also disappeared. Without further ado, she held onto the wall and stumbled off.
Alas, she was in such bad shape that she fainted at the stairs as soon as she got to the third floor.
Meanwhile, Wyatt finally snapped out of his daze when an overpowering perfume scent hit him, only to realize Gianna was sitting on his lap. Annoyed, he furrowed his brows and shoved her out of the way.
Despite being caught off guard by the sudden rejection, Gianna managed to steady herself before pouncing on Wyatt with a hug. “Stop thinking about that woman on the third floor, Wyatt. Hasn’t she given you enough trouble? I’m the only one who loves you and wants to stay by your side. On top of that, I’ll also give you as many kids as you like!”
To her horror, Wyatt suddenly grabbed her by her hair and pulled her close. “Have you gone up to the third floor?”
“N-No, I haven’t,” Gianna stammered as she winced at the pain. “I merely heard from the housekeepers that Ms. Marsh is staying on the third floor. Why would I go up when you’ve strictly told me not to? If truth be told, I don’t think she deserves your pity. A heartless woman like her ought to be dumped aside and left for dead! What’s the point of keeping her here when the sight of her upsets you? Besides, she’ll never regret aborting those two babies—”
“Shut up!” Wyatt interrupted, his face contorted with rage. “I can keep her wherever I want. That’s none of your f*cking business! You’d better behave yourself and stay away from the third floor if you want to continue living this rich, carefree lifestyle! Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to kill you!”
When Gianna didn’t say anything, Wyatt added, “Did you f*cking hear me?”
Afraid that the latter might hit her, the woman hunched her shoulders and replied meekly, “Y-Yes. I heard you…”
The next second, Wyatt chased her out of the room. “From now on, you should know your f*cking place and call me Mr. Lopez! Also, stop dressing like a sl*t in front of me! Get out!”
Not wanting to incur any more wrath, Gianna quickly left the study with her tail between her legs.
So much for thinking I could seduce Wyatt by dressing a little sexier… I can’t believe he didn’t fall for it and even had the heart to chase me out!
Shaking with fury, Gianna was about to storm off and take her anger out on the housekeepers when she inadvertently saw Jessica unconscious at the top of the stairs.
Hmm… If I remember correctly, the room door was ajar earlier. Could Jessica have dropped by the study?
The next day, Wyatt left the mansion early in the morning.
When Gianna finally went downstairs at noon, one of the housekeepers hurriedly approached her. “Ms. Gianna, Mr. Lopez said he’s going abroad for a business trip and doesn’t want you to call him frequently. He also wants you to rest as much as possible and remember what he’s told you.”
Gianna scowled and snorted in response. “I know. Are you done talking? If so, get back to work!”
For the rest of the day, Gianna went on an online shopping spree with the credit card Wyatt had given her. On top of buying everything she fancied, she also hired instructors for the various courses she wanted to learn and invited her friends from Norwal City for a get-together. In short, she was doing everything she could to forget about the woman on the third floor.
