Chapter 13: Most Beautiful Woman? What A Joke.

The room was quiet, and the illumination of the room basked everything in a warm orange hue. Hilla’s lips brushed against the man’s lips before she quickly withdrew.

She turned around, fearing that someone else might see her red cheeks.

“I… We made a deal! You will forget everything when you wake up! Go to sleep!”

Her voice echoed in the room. It sounded like bravado.

She knew that the person beside her could not do anything, could not see how she looked like, but much to her disappointment, she still blushed.

“Hilla! Are you mad? That is your first kiss!”

Hilla scolded herself in annoyance. Then, she pulled the blanket and wrapped it around her head. She rolled around the bed twice.

’What am I going to do? My heart is beating so fast! It feels like it’s not going to stop!’

How could she have such immoral thoughts for a comatose patient?

Hilla felt like she was going crazy. That was why she suddenly thought that after marrying someone else, she had lost the right to have a romance in the future. All the things that she could do with a boyfriend could now only be done with the man beside her, because he was her husband in name.

But Bruce Anderson was a comatose patient! He could not even move! How could she still harbor such a thought?!

It must be because Orlenna gave her a car, and she was so happy that her judgment was impaired!

“Argh! I hate this!”

Hilla poked her head out from the blanket, though she still covered her face with her hands. She sneakily peeked at the man sleeping quietly next to her. The man never even moved his eyes, let alone show any kind of response.

Hilla looked at him quietly for a little longer. As she breathed a sigh of relief, at the same time, she touched her own lips. Suddenly, she found it quite boring.

“Was that your first kiss?”

Hilla frowned as she asked quietly. She frowned after asking the question, and she said fiercely, “You’re in your thirties now… that could not have been your first kiss. I mean, for someone of your age, you must have more than a few girlfriends. I… Give me back my first kiss…”

When she realized that she had suffered such a major loss due to her carelessness, she felt really upset, and when she realized that Bruce Anderson was so much older than her, she knew that he must have dated so many other women. That made her

angry.

“Were your previous girlfriends as pretty, as sexy as me and had a figure as good as mine?”

She knew that the man could never reply, but women were like that, sometimes.

The more they were unable to get an answer, the more they cared about a question.

And the more cared, the sadder they felt in their hearts.

That was her first kiss, but not his. In fact, when she started to think about just how many women the man beside her had been with…

She became angry, and Hilla kicked him viciously.

THUD! The man fell to the floor with the blanket following him down.

It was fine, since there was no one else but Hilla and Bruce in the room. Orlenna Organa would never witness this. As long as Hilla dragged him back on the bed when morning came, Orlenna Organa would never know about that.

With that thought in mind, the girl went straight into bed and wrapped herself in the blanket.

Bruce Anderson laid just like that on the floor, he laid still there for the entire night.

When morning came, Hilla dragged him back to the bed reluctantly.

Even though she lost her first kiss, she still had to treat him nicely since Orlenna did give her a car.

After all, if she angered her mother- in-law, she might be cut off from all pocket money. Even though it was her who failed to resist the temptation, and she made the preemptive move…

On the next day, when Orlenna was in the room, Hilla put on a gentle look on her face while she helped Bruce change his clothes. She would put on a sad act in front of Orlenna and said, “Bruce, you have to wake up soon! Your mother and I are waiting for you.”

As soon as Hilla finished her speech, Orlenna’s eyes turned watery.

Her daughter-in-law was really good!

…

“Mother, I’ve changed his clothes. Please stay with him and talk to him more.”

Hilla raised her head and smiled gently, which made Orlenna’s heart melt. She placed a set of keys into her hands.

“The car is ready downstairs. I asked Owen to drive it out. See if you can get used to the car. If you don’t like it, feel free to change to a different car.”

“Thank you, Mother.”

Hilla took the keys obediently. After she got her coat, she said, “I’ll be leaving for campus now. I will be back in the evening, and I will talk to Bruce about the fun things in university.”

That would show her just how good of a daughter-in-law she was.

Orlenna nodded, feeling gratified. She felt that she had made the correct judgment when it came to Hilla. Even though she did not have a level-headed temperament and behaved somewhat like a spoiled princess, deep down, she was still kind.

Judging from how she was taking care of Bruce “attentively” and how she did not look down on him for being in a coma, Orlenna had somewhat approved of Hilla Holt as a whole.

With the keys in hand, Hilla went downstairs, and she instantly saw the red Maserati.

Her eyes immediately lit up.

She had such a good mother-in-law! She had given her a car that cost more than a few million dollars just like that!

Owen Wilson saw her coming, and he smiled as he said, “Mrs. Anderson, the car is ready for you. Madam Organa asked that you should use some time to get used to it.”

Hilla nodded calmly. Even when the Holt family had not become bankrupt, her father was reluctant to buy her such an expensive car. The Andersons were really richer than the Holts.

“Thank you for the trouble, Mr. Wilson.”

She smiled gently. She placed her things into the passenger front seat and headed straight for the driver’s seat.

As she placed her hands on the steering wheel, she felt alive, as if she had just touched the world’s source of life.

She had always wanted a car of her own, and now, her wish was fulfilled. She was so overjoyed that she could cry!

She hit the accelerator, and with a beautiful roar of the engine, the car immediately rolled out of the Anderson’s mansion.

Mr. Owen Wilson was sprayed with a cloud of exhaust fumes. He chuckled and said,

“She sure is a fierce lady! She’s driving the car so energetically.”

Since Hilla drove a Maserati into the university, this instantly turned into a gossip for the people in the university cafeteria.

“She’s a rich lady, and yet, she let herself be used by others. She has truly abandoned herself…”

“Hilla Holt is the campus’ princess. She has always been so aloof. How could she…?”

“How could she not? I admit that she’s the campus princess, but she’s a fallen campus princess whose family went bankrupt as well. Holt Corporation is bankrupt, and even the Holt mansion is held in pledge by the bank. If she did not find someone rich, the campus princess would turn into a tragic princess.”

“Oh please. More like the joke of the campus.”

A group of people gossiped among themselves not far away. They occasionally laughed mockingly, and they did not even bother hiding their laughter.

Lily Hart was stewing in anger. “I’ll give them a warning.”

Hilla dragged her back and shook her head while smiling. “What’s there to warn them? What they say is true. I am a joke, but it’s fine. I’m still rich enough to be able to Maserati. Compared to the ones who are making noise because they’re envious and can’t drive one, I’m in a much better position.”

Lily could not hold back her laughter when she heard this. “True that. Jealousy really does bring out the worst in people.”

“Hilla, what the hell does that mean? Who would be jealous of you when you’re the one being shameless?!”

Hilla took her time to scoop a spoonful of pumpkin soup and drank it slowly. Without any rush, she said, “The ones who are causing trouble to me are the ones who are jealous.”

“Hilla, you know no shame.”

The woman shouted in exasperation. The others tried to hold her back but failed.

Hilla looked up and saw a charming and rather familiar woman. She was the princess of the English Language Course. Two months back, she had tried to force someone to marry her when she got pregnant with his child, and she had the guts to make fun of her?

“Am I the shameless one, or are you the shameless one? You just aborted Lint’s child, and now, you’re already climbing into the bed of the boss of a securities company. Seriously, could your womb survive through this?”
