Chapter 1077
So, was the baby in her belly the ultimate goal?
IT was too sinister of a plan! It was no wonder that even when she initiatively withdrew and avoided it, the storm still wouldn't stop!
She seemed to have suddenly found the key to a long unsolvable puzzle. In an instant, Lauren's mood was completely turned around.
If something happened to the baby or if she was more of an anxious person, even if she wasn't at odds with Vanessa then and would not talk to each other again, they would also have already gotten into a huge argument. Even if the truth was uncovered later on, they would still have a knot in their hearts that might stay forever.
It showed that whoever it was really put in the effort to make her relationship with the Bowles family irreconcilable! How despicable! Fortunately, no greater losses had been caused yet then!
Caressing her belly, Lauren let out a long, visible sigh of relief. If it had nothing to do with her, then she didn't have to worry about it anymore. After stroking her hair and comforting her, Willy asked for the details.
"When did that person start calling you? What time do they usually call? Are there any patterns? How does she talk? What did she tell you? Is her voice like my mother's, or did she just introduce herself as my mother? Does she sound familiar? Is there anything that feels weird? Tell me about all the details you can think of. No matter who is behind this, I will find her!"
Thinking hard, Lauren went over the entire course of events again.
"That person's been calling since the night after your mother came. It was from an unfamiliar number. The moment I picked up, the first thing she did was to give me a scolding. Both the voice and tone really sounded like... your mother. I casually asked who she was, and she then proclaimed she had only just seen and scolded me not long ago. She even said that she is your mother, then cursed me for being shameless, a vixen, and a b*tch. She said that I was leading you on, pestering you and getting you involved in a mess, things like that. It's pretty much always the same things. One other thing is that she cursed the baby. I got angry, so I snapped back before hanging up. She called again, so I blocked her... After that, she changed to use even more anonymous numbers, including cell phones and landlines, to call me day and night!"
Looking down, Lauren's eyes were filled with hurt. "She even called while I was in class! Now it's even being spread around the school, and everyone says I'm a horrible woman..."
They all even said that she had used some special tricks to get in bed with Willy, and wanted to use her child as a stepping stone to heighten her social status!
Why did everyone think she was not worthy of him? From appearance, to her talents, to her family background, they made it seem like it was her who was trying to reach for something beyond her means.
If he wasn't in her league, then so be it. After all, she had never thought of reaching for someone who was so high up.
From what Lauren knew, she had never been overly wishful for a marriage. In that regard, she was indifferent about it, and it was something she didn't care if it happened for her, and it was even more so when it came to men! If she really were to choose, she would never even think of being affiliated with someone with such an eye-catching outlook, prominent financial status, and famous, like Willy.
She hated handsome and rich playboys the most. He was already handsome and rich, as for being a playboy, that had yet to be verified. Her
requirements for a lover were honestly very different from most women. Reasonably speaking, there shouldn't have been any kind of conflict, much less anything that managed to grab others' attention like that.
Reaching out, Willy embraced her in his arms tightly, but avoided her belly.
"You're the best woman I have ever met! Laurie, you can't control what others say. Even if there isn't a single flaw about you, others' jealousy will cause there to be one. That's why what other people say doesn't matter at all!"
Looking straight into his eyes, Lauren wanted to ask him if those "other people" he spoke of included Vanessa.
However, when the words came to her lips, she felt that they were meaningless, and swallowed them back.
As if he could vaguely feel that she had something to say, he smiled faintly and spoke up.
"In our lives, we need to choose and take responsibility for ourselves! You should rest at ease. I will arrange for two people to come over later. If there are anymore calls from
unfamiliar numbers coming in,.
someone will prompt you to an
the calls. If it's again the person who harassed you, you don't have to worry about it, much less take it personally. Just pick up the call, say something, and pass the phone to the person next to you! I will take care of other things, do you understand?"
Nodded, Lauren didn't say anything after that.
The situation was unexpected, and for a while, she really didn't know what to do.
That day, Lauren was still staying in the hospital and had undergone a detailed birth checkup to make sure that the baby was well. As she was more relaxed, she was able to eat and sleep, and her complexion gradually regained its color.
After two days of nothingContent from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
happening, she had thought the
phone calls would not come again. She had just gone out for a walk that day and returned to the room when her cell phone lit up again. When she saw that it was an unfamiliar number, Arya, the helper Willy had specially gotten to take care of her, nodded her head as a signal. Then, Lauren pressed the answer button, and sure enough, another piercing roar came through the phone.
"Why are you still pestering my son? What a shameless slut you are! I've seen a lot of people that overestimate themselves, but it's rare to see someone that is like a tomboy and is so oblivious to their own disgrace!"
Listening to the voice that obviously sounded like a middle-aged female and the familiar tone, Lauren was in great disbelief that the person on the other end wasn't the Vanessa that she had seen before, who was a woman with an outstanding aura!
She hadn't paid attention before, but after careful identification that time, she clearly felt that the woman on the other end of the phone didn't sound like she was scolding Lauren as someone who was younger, but it rather sounded like she was scolding a mistress.
She narrowed her eyes, and she also replied, "People like you, who still lacks respect despite their old age and would try to ruin their child's fate are an even rarer sight!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ary a who was on the side had already taken the phone over and made a shushing gesture to her. From a distance, Lauren heard the voice that continued to float through the air from the phone's speaker.
"Fate? What fate? You're clearly flattering yourself! This is obviously the worst kind of fate to befall my son!"
At that moment, a voice almost identical to Lauren's abruptly piped up.
"Whether it's good or bad fate, at
least I'm not like a shameful old lady like you, selfish and filthy! Even a tomboy is better than you, so you should go for more beauty treatments when you have the time! At your age, perhaps you should
worry that nobody wants you. Careful, or you'll end up on the
streets! It doesn't matter if a woman
is ugly, but you can't be so
shameless about it..."
Looking at Arya, who was babbling while walking outside the door, Lauren couldn't help widening her eyes. If she hadn't personally witnessed it, she wouldn't be able to believe that someone could imitate her voice and her way of speaking.
Arya, the woman Willy had arranged to stay with her that day, could change her expressions instantly and imitate her voice to near perfection!
How could she forget that there were masters of imitation in this world?
Right then, Lauren started to believe deeply that the person on the other end was not Vanessa.
At the same time, in the office of the Centurion Financial Group, Willy also received a report from Lexx. "The caller has been found. Based on the location we've tracked, they're near the Bowles family mansion..."
