“I’ll tidy up the guest room for you.” Unable to look her in the eye, Susan turned around towards the guest room.
“Wait.” Isla smiled. “The guest room needs to be tidied but not for me.”
“What...do you mean?” Susan balled her fists slightly.
Isla Brown stood up, revealing her model-like figure. She walked over to Susan and sneered down at her. “Didn’t you hear? Madam said that I need to get pregnant with Julian’s child. If I sleep in the guest room, how am I going to get pregnant with his child?”
When Susan turned pale, Isla continued grinning. “Therefore, Mrs. Shaw, the person who should be sleeping in the guest room is you, not me.”
Susan clenched her fists even tighter.
Isla chuckled. “What is it? Are you refusing to, Mrs. Shaw? Then, do you need me to call Madam Shaw to see if…”
“No, I’m willing to!” Susan cut her off. “I’ll sleep in the guest room. You...you can sleep in the master bedroom.”
“That’s great.” Isla’s smile widened subconsciously. She looked at how cringy Susan was and a trace of disdain flashed across her eyes.
She was a young star who had just debuted, but because she had no background and did not have any connections, it was impossible for her to make a living.
Before this, Isla even resented her life. However, at this point, her luck took a turn.
It was due to her recent debut and polished image that Madam Shaw considered her ‘clean enough’ to bear the child for the Shaw family
Although Madam Shaw did not mean to make Susan give up her role, it all depended on how she performed her job. She thought that she could definitely make Julian fall in love with her when she saw him.
Then, she would get pregnant with Julian’s child and Madam Shaw would be very pleased.
After dealing with Julian and gaining the approval of Madam Shaw, besides her, who would be the best candidate for the position of Mrs. Shaw?
Susan Shelby was only a dumb woman who would be soon abandoned.
Isla glanced at Susan and instructed her, “Go and prepare the sexiest lingerie for me. I’ll take a bath now and wear it after that.” She got up and went to the bathroom.
‘Why does she need sexy lingerie? If she’s going to sleep in the master bedroom, what will happen between her and Julian?’ Susan dared not think further.
Susan stopped herself from thinking about what was going to happen and covered her head with the blanket.
‘Since I don’t like Julian, why should I care about who he wants to be with? Susan, don’t think about it and sleep. Go to sleep!”
However, the more she forced herself to not think about it, the more it stuck in her mind.
Susan bit her lower lip. ‘Julian should be on cloud nine with Isla now…on the bed that we once shared.’
She felt a sourness in her heart. Previously, when Julian brought someone home, she did not feel anything.
Why would she feel so horrible this time?
As her tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably, she did not bother wiping her tears and let them drip on the pillow.
In the master bedroom, Julian saw a figure lying on the side under the moonlight.
