His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 876

Anthony looked at Peggy in an indifferent manner. "Even though it's easy for me... why should I give you the money?" Anthony said in a cold voice.

Then he removed his eyes from her and pretended to be busy. He poured some tea for himself and asked, "I think I have made it clear to you that Sue and I are just friends. How come you expect me to marry her? That's impossible! And moreover, we won't even connect with each other any more. So I don't understand why you think it's my duty to give you money." He shrugged his shoulders and let out an indifferent laugh.

He cast a contemptuous glance at Peggy and added, "And even if I really get married to Sue, why should I give you such an exorbitant amount of money? And moreover, even Sue will not approve of me giving money to you. If she comes to know about it, she will be furious, won't she?"

Peggy stared at Anthony with cold eyes and said, "You can't fool my aging eyes so easily Anthony. I know it has been the dual effort between you and Sue to hide your relationship from me. But I am not stupid. Anybody who has even seen the two of you together can tell that the way you get along with each other is not how 'just friends' as you say you two are."

Peggy let out a sarcastic laugh and sneered, "Moreover, now that Sue is pregnant, you can't hide it any more." "What are you talking?"

Anthony almost jumped out of his seat and blurted. "Is Sue pregnant? How can it be possible?" He stared at Peggy with creased eye brows.

"You should know it better than me," Peggy said with a cold smile. Anthony looked very worried all of a sudden. Peggy watched each and every facial expression on his face very minutely. Then her face broke into a knowing smile. She had no doubt that Sue and Anthony shared an intimate relationship.

Marking the ongoing dilemma in Anthony's mind, Peggy placed her cards tactfully and diligently. "Anthony, you are going to be a father soon. Hence, you have to get married with Sue. At least for the sake of the child. Isn't it?" Peggy smiled coldly and added, "I can help you to ease out on the idea of giving this money to me. You can just regard it as the wedding gift for Sue."

"Is Sue really pregnant?" Anthony asked in an unbelievable tone. He could feel this heart beating faster than usual. Though he did not want to believe in what Peggy said, but in one corner of his heart, he could not even deny it completely. He took some deep breaths to calm himself down.

"Of course." Peggy frowned and said in a very polite manner, "I'm not kidding about such a serious matter."

Anthony frowned and thought about the last conversation that he had with Sue when they met a while ago. He wondered why Sue didn't mention to him about her pregnancy.

'Oh my God! Maybe she is planning to abort this baby secretly?' he guessed. The very thought of it sent chill down his spine. He could not let this happen at any cost.

"You can call Sue and ask her whether it's true or not if you don't believe me." Peggy couldn't help but laugh as she saw Anthony's dumbfounded expression. "Can we talk about the matter of money now?" she asked again.

Anthony was completely zapped because of the news Peggy gave him. He remained speechless for a while. After a long while he raised his head and said in a deep yet cold voice, "The situation right now is beyond my expectation. I need more time to consider it. Besides, I should confirm it with Sue and need more time to prepare money. When all these matters are settled, I will talk to you about the money."

"Okay." Peggy heaved a sigh and nodded with satisfaction. She said, "Don't make me wait for too long, otherwise..."

"Don't worry, I won't," Anthony said indifferently.

He called up Sue immediately as Peggy left. However, Sue didn't answer no matter how many times he dialed.

At last, he had no more patience to just sit in his office and wait for Sue to answer his call. He sprang up of his seat, grabbed his car keys and ran out of the office.

"Where are you going, Mr. Xiao? There is a meeting soon," his secretary yelled at him.
