It was pretty much an invitation to leave. Kylaâs attitude toward Jacqueline Bowman at this moment was indifferent and distant.
It upset Jacqueline Bowman. However, with her purpose in mind, she endured it and said, âKyla, I helped you out a lot back in prison. You canât forget me now that youâre married to Martin Weiss and are close to the Reed family! You know how Iâm doing. Why donât you put in a good word with Martin Weiss for my man? Doesnât the Weiss family have a real estate development project in Emerald City recently? Neal happens to have connections. Why donât you ask Martin Weiss to give him the project?â
They could gain a lot of profit if they could get the project.
However, Kyla only replied coldly, âIâve never gotten involved in his business. If Neal Reid wants this project, just have him bid for it.â
Jacqueline Bowman said, âI just think itâs easier to get the project through you. If Neal Reid can get it, heâll be willing to marry me. Kyla, you canât ignore my happiness just because you have a good life now! Just consider it as repaying me for helping you out in prison.â
âA good life.â Kyla smiled bitterly. Her life now was indeed so much better than when she had just gotten out of prison!
âIf you want me to repay you, I can do that in other ways. But thereâs nothing I can do about your request.â Kyla looked at Jacqueline Bowman as she rejected her.
âBesides, if a man is only willing to marry you because of a mere business deal, just how much do you think he loves you? Also, doesnât he have to divorce his wife if he marries you? I recall him saying heâs married.â
Jacqueline Bowmanâs expression changed. âI just want you to put in a good word for me. Wonât you even do me such a small favor? How much he loves me and whether heâs getting a divorce are between him and me!â
âIâm sorry, I canât help you with this.â Kylarejected her.
âYouâ¦â Jacqueline Bowman clenched her teeth in hatred. âI didnât expect you to be so heartless. Now that youâve married Martin Weiss and become the wife of a rich man, you donât want others to be happy too? Kyla, so what if youâre Mrs. Weiss? Arenât you cooped up in this store anyway? If Martin Weiss cared about you, he wouldâve taken you to Weiss Residence. Why would he still let you sell all this crap here?â
Kyla only looked at Jacqueline Bowman quietly as if whatever she said right now did not bother her.
However, the calmer she was, the stronger Jacqueline Bowmanâs resentment grew.
âMartin Weiss will abandon you someday! How long can you be Mrs. Weiss?â Jacqueline Bowman left the store after saying that.
Kyla smiled faintly and looked down at her belly.
She would only be Mrs. Weiss until the baby was born.
When the time came, she would divorce Martin Weiss.
After all, their marriage was only to fend off rumors and give their children a legal identity.
However, for some reason, she was faintly upset at the thought that she would divorce Martin Weiss someday.
âWhat am I upset about?â
She smiled bitterly. âMartin Weiss and I have never been suitable for each other! It was that way then, and itâs still the same now, isnât it?â
The day of her pregnancy check-up soon arrived. Kyla took a taxi to the hospital alone. She arrived and had her routine check-up. Then, she went to the washroom while waiting for the report.
