My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 353

Standing not far away was Andrea. As usual, she had a look of disdain on her face. She looked at me coldly and scorned. "Ugh, why is it so easy to meet someone you hate these days?"

I shrugged. "What a coincidence. It's the same for me as well!"

"You..." I wasn't as good as Andrea at fake crying or speaking in a cutesy manner but I knew how to fight back with my words when needed.

Valerie immediately came to Andrea's aid seeing that she was at a disadvantage. Valerie's face was edged with a hard coldness as she spoke, "Miss Reid, you look even more stunning than ever. Even the way you speak is imposing and high and mighty."

I laughed and said, "I think Miss Burton could say the same for herself."

"Arianna Reid, stop gloating over yourself. Do you think that you're so great? You're just a girl who got lucky and that is the only reason why your sorry fate changed!"

Wow, Andrea's mouth really doesn't filter words at all.

I smiled faintly and said indifferently, "That's true. But it is also true that if you're rotten to your bones. No matter how wealthy you are, you still won't be able to change the fact that you're rotten. Am I right, Madam Lawson?"

Everyone heard the hidden meaning behind my words. Valerie's face darkened as she caught the meaning. With a sound of warning, she said, "Miss Reid, sometimes it isn't good for people to be too proud or vain."

I nodded in agreement to her words. Just then, Nerissa, who was at the cafe, walked over.

Nerissa was stunned by my question. Her eyes fell onto Andrea's belly. Taking account of Valerie's feelings, she said gently, "Andrea, why don't we just go for the test? After all, Hendrix isn't sure about it either. It would be best if we find out for sure if the child belongs to the Roberts family. If it isn't and we assume it is, it would cause some serious trouble in the future."

I bet that Andrea probably didn't expect that I would be questioning if her baby really was Hendrix's.

Upon my questioning, she was at a loss for words and seemed a little dismayed. Looking at Nerissa, she said, "Aunt Nerissa, this baby is really mine and Hendrix's. Taking a DNA test is a little risky as the needle will be probing into the amniotic sac. Are you really willing to risk the life of one of Roberts' children? Arianna is just trying to drive a wedge and make this a big matter. She's trying to take her revenge on me."

I found her words utterly hilarious. "Why would I want to seek revenge? Why are you trying to dictate that I would do such a thing?"
