Chapter 258: Jealous Bruce

Hilla looked at Stanley, who completely dropped his arrogant and frivolous behaviors.

It was as if he was stripped of all his aura in an instant. Now he was just an ordinary guy.

“So what if you knew my identity in advance? Would you think that we were a perfect match?”

Stanley would probably think that Hilla whose family went bankrupt was able to become Mrs. Anderson. She must have done something shameful.

This was probably human nature. People always thought of others from the bad side.

So in Stanley’s eyes, Hilla should have been living a miserable life.

Since the Holt family went bankrupt, Hilla and Halle had no family to rely on.

Everyone had never been friendly to them.

No one worried about her and Halle. Others would only laugh at them.

Stanley didn’t expect Hilla to say this, and it took him a while to come to his senses.

It was undeniable that when he first met Hilla, he felt that she was very beautiful, and a beauty like that was indeed very attractive.

He thought that Hilla would be able to get extra because someone helped her.

When Stanley found out that Hilla lived in the Lakeshore Center, he thought that Hilla must be relying on financial support from some rich guy.

It was very easy for a young and beautiful woman to get such support.

If he had known Hilla’s identity long ago, he would have thought that the world was full of beautiful women, but Hilla was the one that could marry into the Anderson family. She must be a scheming woman.

In short, he wouldn’t think that she was an ordinary woman!

Seeing Stanley’s expression, Hilla already saw through him. With a cold smile, she turned and walked into the building.

“Hilla, Mrs. Anderson, could you say something nice for me in front of Mr. Anderson?”

The company was suddenly acquired, and all his activities were stopped. Moreover, he would be beaten for no reason when he went out.

Living in great horror, Stanley didn’t think the cancellation of the contract would be difficult.

However, at present, the company, on the grounds of internal rectification, wouldn’t cancel the contract with him.

An actor without any activity had no future. It was obvious that Bruce wanted to

slowly kill his career and made him watch the people around him become famous.

He had offended many people when he was famous. Now it was time for those people to ridicule him.

“I’m afraid there must be some misunderstandings. My husband is a broad-minded person, and he was very busy. He won’t have the mood and time to deal with you.”

Hilla turned around and entered the building under Stanley’s bewildered gaze.

If Bruce wanted to someone a lesson, he wouldn’t have to do it by himself. As long as he gave an order, there would be a group of people doing things for him.

Bruce did not even care much about such things at all. Moreover, from Hilla’s perspective, she thought Bruce wouldn’t waste his energy on Stanley.

However, Stanley thought to himself, “Hilla, do you really know your husband that well? Is Mr. Anderson really a broad-minded person?”

Ad Hilla just opened the door, she saw Halle looking at her with a strange expression.

Hilla thought, “What does Halle mean? Is she trying to give me a hint or something?”

Hilla saw Bruce sitting on the sofa. He took off his suit jacket, and he was in his gray shirt.

The crystal button on his sleeve was opened, revealing his sturdy forearm. He was drinking coffee gracefully.

His Adam’s apple moved up and down, and two buttons on his collar opened. His tie was also thrown to the side of the sofa.

Although this scene was charming, Hilla smelled a strong sense of crisis.

Seeing Hilla standing at the door, Halle quickly picked up Emily who was playing on the ground, and said, “Hilla, you’re back. It’s hard to find parking space at this time, right? You just finished your prenatal checkup today. You have to take a good rest. Don’t be too tired. Don’t go out for the next two days.”

Hilla thought, “Parking space? What parking space? They have a VIP parking space! There is no need to find a parking space.”

She and Halle did not take the same car. Halle came back first, but Hilla did not quite understand what Halle was saying.

The doctor said that the babies were healthy and asked her to pay more attention to nutrition, but he did not say that she shouldn’t go out!

Hilla still didn’t come to her senses. Halle said, “Emily is a little sleepy after coming back from the hospital. I will take her upstairs to sleep first.”

“Okay.”

Hilla nodded in a daze. Halle gave her another look before going upstairs. Hilla looked in the direction Halle signaled.

The TV in the living room was on. Except for Emily who would watch cartoons on the TV, there were very few people watching this TV.

Hilla wanted to throw it away before. Then she thought that the TV made this place more like a home, so she kept it.

Now, Bruce was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and he was concentrated. Hilla was curious about what was Bruce watching…

On the TV, an enchanting woman sat leaning against the railing. The thin gauze on her body was half-revealed, revealing her snow -white and tender shoulders and collarbone. She held a pink handkerchief in her hand and half-covered her lips. She lazily sized up the pedestrians passing by downstairs.

There were different kinds of background sounds. Someone said, “Mr. Phillip, come and play!”

The man who was walking on the street downstairs suddenly stopped and looked at the beauty on the second floor.

The beauty lowered her head and blushed. Her lips curled into a slight smile. She secretly peeked at the man downstairs.

Hilla freeze when she saw this. When she was filming, it was nothing like this. How did it become like this after editing?

Suddenly, she understood what Halle meant by that look.

At this moment, Bruce looked calm and indifferent. Clearly, he was very angry.

Hilla supported her unsteady chest and leaned over slowly, whispering, “Honey, you’re back. Are you busy today? Why are you off work so early?”

Bruce put down the coffee and raised his head to look at Hilla. He said in a flat voice, “I’m not busy. I just took some time to buy a small company. It is much easier than acting.”

“He is mocking me!” Hilla thought to herself.

…

When Hilla saw the clip of the movie, she knew that Bruce was in a rage.

She wouldn’t deny it or lie about it so she scooched over and sat down beside Bruce.

“Here is the thing, they needed an actress and I happened to be there so…”

“So you came to their rescue.”

Bruce spoke calmly in a low. Hilla raised her eyebrows. Judging from Bruce’s voice, she felt that she had thrown the crew under the bus instead of saving their ass.

It was obvious that Bruce would definitely cut her out of the drama.

“Actually, I played a minor role in the drama. It’s not important at all. If you don’t like it, you can cut my part.”

Hilla said as she carefully examined Bruce’s facial expression.

She couldn’t tell how he felt from her face at all. It was really too hard to coax him.

Although she found it difficult, she had no choice but to coax Bruce when he was unhappy.

Bruce turned his head and looked at her with a faint smile on his face. He still looked handsome, but a chill shiver rippled over Hilla’s skin when she saw his smile.

She felt that Bruce was still not very happy.

Probably very unhappy!

“You can’t just cancel the drama. The production team has worked hard to film for a few months. I can’t ruin it. Otherwise, I will feel very guilty. I heard that this drama is going to be on satellite television, and half members of the cast work for the Anderson Group. I don’t care to be cut out. Anyway, I don’t intend to be in the show business. Mrs. Anderson is good enough for me. But some people may have worked really hard to get a role in this drama.

We can’t ruin their future at will!”

Hilla also remembered that Carlie was the heroine of this drama, and she had heard that Carlie had made strenuous efforts to get the part.

They were friends, more or less. Hilla did not expect that she would implicate the entire crew.

If she had known this, she would not have agreed to help them even if the director and Carlie had laid it on with a trowel!

“Whose future?”

Bruce suddenly turned his head around and stared at Hilla.

Hilla was stunned at first, but she figured out what was going on very quickly. She waved her hands hurriedly and said, “The future of everyone in the crew, of course.”

Bruce’s face darkened!

Hilla knew that this man was jealous again.

“Of course, the annoying hero is not included. How can he be the leading actor? He really ruined the entire drama.

You know, the hero of this drama is really annoying. He tried to get close to me again and again, but I rejected him directly. I am already married, and I only have eyes for you. He’s really not my type.”

Hilla said as she looked at Bruce. He looked much better!

Hilla was finally relieved.

Sweet words always worked!

“Is that so? A lot of netizens say that you two make a cute couple.”

“Who said that? They must be my anti-fans. They are saying that I’m not good enough for him. The fact is that I turn my nose up at him.”

By saying she was not good enough Stanley, wasn’t she belittling both herself and Bruce?

Fortunately, Hilla reacted promptly and rephrased.

Bruce’s face lit up a little bit. “You’re back late. Did parking take you a lot of time?”

Hilla thought to herself, “Look, look, you seem to care about me but isn’t it obvious that you are setting me up?”

At the thought of the meeting with Stanley downstairs, Hilla believed that she had to confess immediately. Otherwise, she would die a very hard look.

She was carrying two babies for him. She wouldn’t die now. But it’s hard to say after the labor.

Hilla rolled her eyes and pretended to be unhappy. She said irritably, “No, I met someone when I was downstairs.”

“Who?”

He was definitely jealous! She could tell from his tone!

“The annoying hero of this drama. According to him, he is in trouble recently because of me and he wants me to show him some mercy. He said that he knew he was wrong!”

Bruce turned from disgust to disdain.

As expected, he looked proud.

Everyone was competitive. When they were flattered to be better than others, they couldn’t help but feel smug!

Hilla continued to pretend to be unhappy and irritated as she judged Bruce childish.

If she said anything good for Stanley now, Bruce would send him to hell instantly!

Bruce had just watched one clip and he was mad already. It seemed that he had even intercepted all her parts. How could she tell him what Stanley had done to her!

“He doesn’t deserve to be forgiven for the mistakes he made!”

Bruce said indifferently. Hilla smiled obsequiously. Bruce was ruthless, brutal, and attractive!

She wanted to give him a thumbs up.

Although Stanley’s career as an actor would be ended, Hilla thought that he deserved it. He was not worthy of pity at all for treating women terribly.

“You’re right. We won’t forgive him, but the rest of the cast … Aa lot of them are from the Anderson Group … As Mrs. Anderson, I can’t ruin their hard work!”

As Hilla spoke, she put her arms around Bruce’s neck coquettishly and leaned on Bruce.

Bruce could feel her body’s curves. Bruce’s eyes instantly darkened and unconsciously moved his gaze to Hilla’s chin.

After regaining his senses, Bruce furrowed. Then his sight-line gradually moved from her white and beautiful neck to her sexy and alluring collarbone. Finally, he stopped at her half-opened collar and fixed his eyes there.

“How did it go at the doctor’s?”

In fact, from Halle’s words just now, he already got a general idea, and now he just wanted to make sure.

Hilla sensed Bruce’s gaze and blushed. She wanted to block his line of sight and moved a little bit.

However, Bruce could see it more clearly from this angle. Then he took the opportunity to hold Hilla into his arms.

He rested his hand on her waist and caressed it, either intentionally or not. He lowered his head and whispered to her in a bewitching voice, “Did the doctor say when we can have sex?”

Hilla’s smile froze when she sensed his fondling hand. “I think it’s better not to tell you what the doctor said!”
