You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 157

After Bill dropped the bomb, the crowd was shocked and panicked as they were competing to get a clearer view of Arabella. Likewise, Arabella was surprised by Bill’s sudden revelation.

How could this man just spill everything in front of the media?

She stayed frozen in her seat as Bill’s men were forming a barricade to protect her.

“Mr. Sky, Why the mother of your child is here? Does it mean she had a part of your wedding?” A woman shouted over the loud clamor.

“Yes,” Bill answered directly. All cameras switched to him. Everyone was dying to know, what’s Arabella’s role.

Trishia’s face was flushed. She was shaking in anger and she couldn’t get a hold of her cool anymore. Though she was used to acting in front of a camera, the embarrassment she felt made her lose all her fake acting bit by bit. She was not expecting that the conference would center the topic on Arabella and Bill and she was left rooted on her spot. She’s a superstar and she was supposed to be the main attraction of the event. All eyes, ears, and cameras were supposed to be hers.

“She’s our pianist at the wedding,” Bill announced.

“Mr. Sky, we all know that you can hire the most famous pianist in the world, why she? Did you choose her?” Another man shouted over the loud clamor.

“Yes. I choose her.” Bill looked at Arabella. She was seating like no care around her. Her expression was cold but confident. Her beauty was captivating but strict. Unlike Trishia, who always wore a sweet smile, Arabella had no glow in her eyes. She seemed always wanted to chase the time and got bored sitting on doing nothing. She seemed to hate the whole world by wearing a boring tough and intimidating aura.

“Why her? Do you still have a close connection with her, Mr. Sky?” A man shouted over the loud crowd.

“Yes,” Bill said with a plain expression.

Everyone was very interested in the real score of him and the mother of his son.

Earlier,

“How much money do you want?” Kelly talked to Arabella privately. With full of sarcasm in her voice, it was obvious that she didn’t want to talk to Arabella but she was desperate to make her disappear in her free own will from her son’s life.

“Name your price.” She added while getting her checkbook and pen from her bag.

“I don’t need your money.” Arabella refuted quickly. She already knew what would be the flow of their conversation. “You know what I want Mrs. Sky, Adam.” After analyzing the situation, she knew what Kelly wanted and that was for her to leave Bill.

“Don’t you hear yourself? Adam is the only son of Bill. He is the only heir of Sky Corporation.” Kelly’s voice was full of sarcasm and her expression was arrogance. She was very different from the Aunt Kelly she once knew that was full of compassion towards her and others.

“I only need Adam, Aun… Mrs. Sky.” Arabella insisted while avoiding calling Kelly her aunt.

“You should see by now that Adam has a big future with us. He would own the biggest conglomerate in the whole world. Then tell me if he would stay with you, what can you give for his future?” Kelly’s words were intended for insults but she had a good point.

Arabella was stunned by Kelly’s question. It was a sudden attack on her capabilities of raising his son and giving him a good future.

“I can give him love and teach him compassion,” Arabella answered coming from a mother’s pure heart.

“That is a good joke,” Kelly laughed softly like she heard a lame joke. “Adam is born a leader like her father. If you are a good mother, you should put first Adam’s welfare.” Kelly firmly said.

Arabella was stunned and was caught in deep thinking. Kelly said was all right. Adam was indeed had all the right to inherit all Bill’s hard work. He had a very big future with the Sky.

“Go away, take this blank check, and never come back. Don’t worry, Trishia would be a good mother to your son. I will see to it as his grandma.” Kelly used the opportunity to convince more seeing Arabella was still in her deep thinking.

But hearing Trishia’s name, Arabella looked at Kelly fiercely.

“No. I don’t need that check. I am not selling my son to you. Give Adam back to me and I will leave your son. That’s the only condition I have.” Arabella said toughly.

“Look, you don’t make the deal here.” Kelly’s voice was pissed.

“Sorry Mrs. Sky, give back Adam or I will not leave your son. I will make him fall in love with me.” Arabella announced toughly.

Her words made Kelly enraged. “You are such a disrespectful child!” She roared.

Arabella wasn’t affected by her anger. “The aunt Kelly I treasured as my own mother was also gone. Please excuse me, Mrs. Sky.” Replying to these words made her heart in pain. She knew her aunt Kelly had still a special place in her heart but as of the moment, she needed to be smart and tough to get Adam back.

After she excused herself, she went outside to wait for them for the conference and left Kelly froze in her spot.

In a corner, Trishia heard everything.

She couldn’t withstand her anger hearing Arabella’s words. Inside Bill’s house, she witnessed everything. What she said was all possible. For so many years she had known Bill, Arabella was the one who had close contact with him. He let her be close to him. He let her sleep in his room and his bed not only a night but every night. Thinking of how many nights she cried in her room because of them sharing a bed together in Bill’s room, Trishia gritted her teeth as she walked out to find Arabella.

“I can give back Adam to you,” Trishia announced.

Arabella turned behind her. She didn’t say anything but her expression was waiting for her to say something more.
