Chapter 255: You Look Stunning!

Seeing Orlenna, Bruce remained cool and collected.

What was wrong with him being intimate with his wife?

Hilla grabbed the clothes on Bruce’s chest and whispered, “Put me down.”

Otherwise, Orlenna would rush over and teach them a lesson.

Bruce tightened his grip on her and whispered into her ear, “You want her to beat me?”

“Of course not.”

Hilla thought, <I asked you to put me down in case Orlenna would beat you. Didn’t you notice that Orlenna is getting angry?

If you don’t put me down, Orlenna will eat us alive.>

Bruce smiled at Hilla and whispered, “Don’t move. With you here, she won’t hit me.”

Hilla was confused. She met Bruce’s smile and seemed to have realized something.

Bruce was right. She was pregnant, and Orlenna cared so much about the babies.

So, Orlenna wouldn’t put her in danger.

Thinking of this, Hilla quickly wrapped her arms around Bruce’s neck. She pursed her lips and turned to look at Orlenna with a grievance. “Mother, my legs are numb. I can’t walk by myself.”

So Bruce had to carry her back to her room.

Orlenna took a deep breath and glared at Bruce. Then, she looked at Hilla and comforted her in a soft voice, “Stay there. Be careful. Are you tired? Bruce, take her to the bedroom first.”

“Yes!”

Hilla nodded and hugged Bruce more tightly.

Although she felt guilty for lying to Orlenna, she still wanted to protect Bruce.

She chose her husband rather than her mother-in-law.

Bruce walked back to the bedroom with Hilla in his arms. As soon as Hilla landed on the bed, she grabbed Bruce’s clothes and said worriedly, “Orlenna seems to be very angry. Is she gonna hit you?”

She had seen Orlenna hit Margaret hard.

Bruce had always been favored by Orlenna. But this was concerned with the children in her belly. Hilla knew very well that Orlenna would not spare Bruce easily.

“Don’t worry. I will tell her you are worried about me and can’t sleep well all night. She won’t do anything to me.”

Hilla suspected that Bruce was making use of her and their unborn babies.

She really admired Bruce. She thought, “Good for you, Bruce. You’ve thought of everything in advance.”

Sure enough, Bruce came back not long after he left.

Orlenna stood at the door and threatened him, “Behave yourself, or I won’t spare you.”

Hilla looked at them worriedly. She was afraid that Orlenna would take out a stick and beat Bruce down the stairs.

But Bruce nodded calmly. “Don’t worry. I will be a father very soon. I know what I shouldn’t do.”

Orlenna’s face softened as she nodded. “Your children will be the successors of the Anderson family. Take good care of them.”

Bruce thought Orlenna was worrying for nothing.

Hilla was surprised to see Orlenna leave. She asked Bruce, “What did you say to her? Why did she let you go?”

Over the past month, Orlenna had prohibited Bruce from getting close to Hilla.

Orlenna was worried that Bruce might hurt Hilla out of impulse.

This kind of thing had happened before. When Hilla was just pregnant, Bruce had sex with her without knowing it.

But Orlenna wouldn’t let this happen again.

Under Orlenna’s watch, Bruce had been quite well-behaved recently. Although he would secretly spend time with Hilla, he didn’t cross the line.

“I just told Orlenna you suffer from nightmares at night and need my company.”

Hilla found Bruce really shameless.

When Bruce got on the bed, she blushed, “You haven’t showered yet.”

After saying that, she felt even more embarrassed and quickly added, “I don’t mean that.”

Bruce teased her, “Then what do you mean?” After that, he went to the bathroom with a smile.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day Halle’s classmate gave birth. Halle called Hilla in the morning and entrusted Emily to her for a day.

Hilla was happy about that. She was tired of waiting for delivery. She would design for some clients from time to time, but Orlenna didn’t want her to work. She was idle most of the time.

Hilla sat on the sofa with Emily in her arms. She teased Emily with some toys.

Beside them, Margaret was bored as she scrolled through the web page. Orlenna scolded her from time to time. “Keep an eye on Emily. Don’t you know Hilla is heavy with children? You sit idle all day. Are you a pig?”

Margaret was fed up with Orlenna’s nagging. “Mother, can you treat me fair? Emily is

not a naughty child, and Hilla doesn’t need to hold her. Don’t forget, I have a

fiance. If you treat me badly, I’d rather get married now. I believe my mother-in-

law will do better than you.”

Margaret’s provocation irritated Orlenna.

Orlenna wondered, “What a wicked girl! How could I give birth to this ungrateful girl?”

“Who cares your fiance? No matter who you marry, you are always my daughter.

I can do whatever I want to you.” Orlenna said.

After that, Orlenna rolled her eyes at Margaret and said in a bad mood, “Go take care of Emily. You should practice babysitting before you get married.”

Margaret rolled her eyes back and muttered, “Anyway, I’m rich. I could hire housekeepers and babysitters to take care of my children. Why should I practice babysitting? I see. I’m an eyesore to you.”

Hilla felt that what Margaret said made sense.

Since Hilla was pregnant, Orlenna hired two servants and a nutritionist for her. After knowing that Hilla was carrying twins, Orlenna hired two more servants.

Now, Hilla didn’t need to do anything at home. She seemed to be living the rich life she used to dream of.

Margaret suddenly screamed and secretly moved closer to Hilla with her phone. “It’s said they have evidence about your affair, and Stanley doesn’t deny it. His fans are going to hunt you down.”

Hearing this, Hilla looked at Margaret’s mobile phone at once. There were photos of her and Stanley on the Internet!

…

Hilla looked at the photos on the Internet that her face, covered by the branches, was blurry. Though she only had a sight of her back on the photos, anyone familiar with her, like Margaret, would recognize her at a glance.

What’s more, the title of this post was also very deceptive, which was “Stanley and his girlfriend stayed close under the tree, the two suspected to live together”.

This kind of dramatic title quickly hit the hotspots as soon as it was posted. Stanley was attracted much attention these days, especially after his drama with Carlie was declared to be released soon.

The release date of the drama could be scheduled in a month after completion. How efficient the crew was.

If it wasn’t the drama she participated in, Hilla wouldn’t be interested in the gossip news.

Due to the drama and the shows he partook in, Stanley gained much notice and attracted many fans. The news describing him as having a girlfriend who lived together was like a thunderstorm to his fans.

His fans couldn’t believe it.

They accused the news as fake and blamed the female on the photo, which was Hilla, for seducing Stanley.

Instantly, Hilla became the scapegoat.

The comments under the post couldn’t be more offensive.

The fans left comments, “Stanley said a few days ago that he was still single. I believe in him.”

“It’s impossible for Stanley to fall in love with this woman. She’s so fat and has a poor body shape.”

“They may happen to stand close instead of dating. Or she’s simply the staff. The media always make a fuss of little things to cheat traffic. I would never believe it unless Stanley admits it personally.”

“Though this woman’s face is covered, we can know she’s ugly. Stanley can’t fall in love with her. Don’t even think earning traffic by this trick!”

Hilla looked at the comments under the post speechlessly and asked Margaret, “Am I poor shaped and ugly?”

These comments on her appearance made Hilla feel offensive.

Before seeing these comments, Hilla was confident in her appearance.

Margaret shook her head and answered with rare seriousness, “You look stunning.”

Margaret admitted that Hilla was young and beautiful. Compared to Bruce’s handsome appearance, Hilla was more gorgeous.

If she wasn’t so attractive, Hilla would spare the efforts to come to the Far City. “Will it be possible that you and Stanley have an affair?” “Of course not!”

Hilla rolled his eyes and stopped Margaret from more suspicion. Hilla censured, “These people are so boring that can generate so many random thoughts.”

The one in the photo was indeed Hilla. It was shot when Hilla and Stanley encountered on the downstairs of the company. She wondered from which angle she could look like leaning on Stanley when they shared some distance at that time.

How could they be shot in the community as it declared to value privacy most? The photo was even posted on Twitter.

Hilla was at a disadvantage as Stanley had many crazy fans. She could be dug out soon though her face was covered.

“Hilla, have you betrayed my brother?”

“Of course not!”

“Is Stanley your babies’ father?”

“Of course!”

This question was a shock to Hilla. She touched her belly and moaned, “You cannot suspect my babies to be someone else.”

Margaret felt relieved, “That’s good. Your words make me relax.”

Hilla frowned and questioned, “What do you mean? Are you suspecting me of betraying Bruce?”

“No, I didn’t. It is the news that makes me double-check for Bruce. Don’t worry. I won’t suspect you.”

Margaret raised her head and patted the chest to show that she believed in Hilla.

Hilla stared at Margaret with a frown. Hilla dubiously believed what Margaret said.

Now the biggest question for Hilla was whether Bruce saw the news. The news spread out with heavy traffic.

Hilla comforted herself that Bruce used to pay no attention to the gossip news.

If the fans didn’t dig out the information about Hilla, then the news would soon be buried into the Internet world.

But it was Hilla’s fantasy. That night, Hilla’s information had been dug out.

…

In the building of entertainment companies.

A dozen artist studios and entertainment companies settled in this building. The

most famous companies were the two of the Anderson family.

Not long after Carlie got on the elevator, the elevator stopped on the 14th floor. It was Stanley. He greeted Carlie with a charming smile.

Carlie greeted back with a look and soon restored to her usual cold expression.

The door of the elevator closed and the elevator started down. No more two floors down, an indifferent female voice rang out in the elevator that was quiet.

“If you don’t risk your neck, I advise you to withdraw the news as soon as possible.”

The sound wasn’t loud. It was cool with no undulation of tone. There was also no change in Carlie’s expression.

If it weren’t just the two of them in the elevator, no one would have known that she was the one who said this.

The man standing in front of Carlie raised his eyebrows and turned slightly to look at her. He smiled and asked, “What do you mean by this?”

“Hilla is not the one you can mess with. I didn’t want to be dragged down by you as we had just finished filming the drama. That’s a kind warning.”

If the post attracted Bruce’s attention, things would get ugly. Once she thought of this, Carlie felt distressed.

Although she won Oscar as an actress and got many fans, the consequence of the post could be a hit to Charlie’s cause. She wanted to maintain her popularity as long as possible.

Stanley was risking his neck. Charlie feared that their drama would be postponed forever if Bruce got angry. Not to mention, Hilla played the role of a prostitute in the drama.

Charlie frowned as she was thinking. Judging by the situation, the drama would be postponed forever.

She was counting on this drama to be a hit. With the drama, she could present an unusual character type to the audience and had a chance to more renowned shows.

Thinking of this, Carlie felt it necessary to pick up a few more dramas this year to stay active before the audience.

“Is it that she cannot be messed with, or the man behind her?”

Stanley sneered. He had done it and waited to see how Hilla would be protected as she had been insulted to that degree.

He wondered what the consequence was to mess with a woman who had been abandoned and had a terrible reputation.

Carlie glanced at the arrogant Stanley beside her and gloomed, “Why do you know her situation and still mess with her?” Carlie felt speechless to his bold but ill-considered action.
