Chapter 732 If You Have Any Compassion
Yeva was no great beauty, but she was still quite young. In fact, she was not much older than Yara. For a young lady like her to stay by Thomas’ side willingly, it was naturally because of his money.
Being kept as a mistress here is only temporary. My ultimate goal is to become Thomas’ lawfully wedded wife. That way, I’ll also have control over half of the Nichols family’s assets by law.
“My stepmother? You?” Yara sneered, shaking the hand she had used to slap Yeva as if she had just touched something dirty.
“Don’t underestimate me, Yara.” Yeva deliberately showed off her baby bump and declared smugly, “I’m pregnant with your father’s baby. What good is a daughter?

“Thomas… I know you’re outside! I can’t believe you didn’t do anything when your daughter slapped me!” Yeva shrieked.
Tossing the Patek Philippe watch at Yeva’s feet, Yara asked, “Did you give him this watch as a gift? It has a monitoring device. Spit it out. Who told you to do that?”
Yeva tensed as soon as she heard that there was a monitoring device inside the watch. “I don’t know…”
“Are you refusing to tell the truth?”
Yeva raised her voice as she said agitatedly, “I told you, I don’t know! I was in a dessert store, and one of the other customers left it behind. I noticed that it was the real deal, so I…”
