Cassie has you to care for her and when I’m done here I actually have to get back to the company anyway. I’m really busy with work. I think you should understand that, right?” Elizabeth nodded. “If you’re busy with work, I understand and support you. If a man only knows how to flirt with women all day, I’ll really look down on him.” She paused, then changed the topic. “But Oscar, since you’ve rekindled your relationship with Cassie, I want you to treat her sincerely. I don’t want you lying to both parties. Right now she’s only known as a mistress. You used to be a couple and even grew up together. You shouldn’t lie to her no matter what.” Oscar’s expression darkened. Amelia glanced at Oscar then replied, “Mrs. Yard, Oscar and I are legally married.
Is there anything wrong with my husband accompanying me to my checkup? They were indeed a couple in the past, but don’t forget that it was Cassie who gave him up first. I’m his wife now. You’re criticizing him as if he’s some heartless traitor, but I’m sure Oscar doesn’t actually have to take responsibility for Ms. Yard. To put it bluntly, we don’t even know who’s the father of Ms. Yard’s child, right?” Elizabeth’s expression changed, although she was now less agitated. “Ms. Winters, both you and your friend are indeed from poor backgrounds.
You both speak so ignorantly, making me wonder if you’re even educated. Are you suggesting that Cassie cheated on Oscar by saying that her child is not his?” Amelia was taken aback. She really did not properly think through whatever she had just said. Oscar gently squeezed her waist before Amelia snapped out of it and composed herself. Amelia said, “I didn’t mean it that way, Mrs. Yard. But if you think that your daughter has been having an affair with another man, then I’ve nothing else to say.” Elizabeth laughed coldly. Oscar tightened his hold on Amelia’s waist.
“Mrs. Yard, our baby is getting hungry. I’ll take Amelia to get some food first. Please take care of Cassie. I’ll come back to the hospital tonight.” Elizabeth stopped him in his tracks. “Oscar, tell me the truth. Are you going to marry Cassie?” Oscar furrowed his brows. Amelia replied, “Mrs. Yard, even if you did watch Oscar grow up, do you really think it’s appropriate to say such a thing in front of his wife? If Ms. Yard is willing to be a mistress, I’ll just bear with it. But you’re really taking it a bit too far by urging him to divorce me.” However, Elizabeth only kept her eyes on Oscar.
“Oscar, I’m waiting for your answer.” “Mrs. Yard, my wife is about to give birth. I can’t divorce her for both legal and moral reasons.” Simply put, Oscar was not going to divorce Amelia anytime soon. Cassie could only bear with it for the time being. On top of that, nothing was certain in the future. His answer was very ambiguous. Elizabeth became increasingly upset. “Oscar, Cassie aborted the child because of you. But it looks like you won’t lose anything since you have both a wife and a child soon. Is Cassie just one of your little playthings?”
asked Elizabeth with a sneer. Oscar frowned. “Mrs. Yard, Oscar’s not an ungrateful person. He’s always been trying to find a balance in this love triangle. Ms. Yard gave up previously then decided to interfere in our relationship again, so she inevitably became a mistress. I’m the one who has been hurt the most all this time. When it comes to giving criticisms, I think I should be the one to do it.” Although Amelia had spoken calmly and had kept on a straight face, you could hear the seriousness in her words. Elizabeth was stunned. Indeed, her daughter was the one in the wrong. Not considering when she jilted Oscar four or five years ago, she was still a mistress this time, imposing on their marriage.
“Ms. Yard has always presented herself as the victim, but I’m the person who actually has been hurt the most in the whole fiesta. I have no idea why you think you can simply criticize Oscar like that and order me to get a divorce. I just want the best for my child and me. Am I doing anything wrong?” Amelia’s words were starting to become aggressive. The facial expressions on Mrs. Yard had changed by now. Oscar hugged Amelia possessively and said, “I’ll take Amelia to get some food first. I’ll be back at night.” Although Elizabeth still looked unhappy, she still nodded. As she watched them leave, Elizabeth glowered.
She gritted her teeth and retrieved her phone to make a call. When the call connected, she said, “Mr. Hisson, have you decided whether or not to terminate the contract with Tiffany?” After the person on the other end replied, she continued, “She’s just a best-selling author. Your company is big. I’m sure there are many more authors like her under your management. As long as you agree to terminate the contract, Yard Group will invest in your project. All you have to do is to lose an author and win the support of Yard Group. You’re a smart man. I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you if it’s worth it.” After the other party responded, Elizabeth became upset. “Are you looking down on Yard Group?
