Free Web NovelChapter 822: Chapter 427: You Sold Out Your Friend Again?
Greedy woman, Joshua Hughes looked at her with disdain. A small task wasn’t difficult, but he simply didn’t want to agree with her.
This woman used her long-standing friendship with Avery Jane as leverage. He had agreed to her once, but she returned yet again. People like her are never satisfied, so Joshua Hughes refused her and despised this woman, using the trust of friends as a bargaining chip. How noble could she be? If Avery Jane had such friends, it would be dangerous. She would betray her once, twice, and there would be more times in the future.
"You can leave now, but you’d better remember every word I just said without missing a single one." Joshua Hughes issued the order to leave coldly, having no interest in continuing to talk to this disgusting woman.
Behind the slightly ajar door of the lounge, a pair of deep brown eyes sparkled with intense excitement........
Top-notch education isn’t given for nothing. Having infiltrated the huge employee database of the Hughes Clan, the deep brown eyes focused on it all. Her information was all there, but it was pitifully simple.
Extracted from the Hughes Clan’s internal personnel database, there was only one person named Avery Jane. Donna, sensitive to the fact that the woman in Joshua Hughes’s office just now mentioned Avery Jane, thought she might be the same woman who suddenly interrupted her plans that day. She processed the entire data of the thousands of employees at the Hughes Clan to obtain this information in hand.
A picture of a slender and delicate girl was on it, and Donna’s fingers tightly grasped the printed information. It was her, unmistakably.
The background was blank except for her recent employment, and her marital status was married.
Joshua Hughes wouldn’t touch married women. He played with women but adhered strictly to his rules. Yet, the fact that this woman was married piqued Donna’s curiosity.
If she was Joshua Hughes’s wife, why would she be working in a small administrative department? How could the Hughes allow their wife to work?
If she wasn’t Hughes’s wife, it was even more interesting. What husband would tolerate his wife having an affair with another man? Besides, didn’t Hughes have another woman living in his castle?
Sometimes, one doesn’t need to act personally. These complex relationships are enough to make those two women fight each other.
Yet, what exactly is Joshua Hughes’s relationship with that woman? It was evident he was very concerned about her now. So, using the pregnant woman in the castle to get rid of Avery Jane, Joshua Hughes naturally wouldn’t prefer the pregnant woman anymore, as men particularly dislike disobedient women, especially those with such status. Then there would be no one competing for Hughes’s favor anymore, and he would turn back and like her again.
The paper showed the girl’s delicate and serene face. Donna’s fingertip slowly applied pressure, crushing the paper, and with it, the beautiful face was slowly destroyed under her hand......

Hughes Manor
Even though it’s been almost six months, her body was still very thin. Consuming as many supplements as she had did not bring out the mature and charming aura of a woman nurturing a child.
She hadn’t seen Joshua Hughes for nearly over a month now. Ever since Avery Jane escaped here secretly, he seemed to be focusing elsewhere, attending various banquets with her. But later, even when he returned to the castle, he no longer saw her, not even uttering an extra word. What in the world happened?
She didn’t know if her mad love for that man would ever get any return. She had ruined her figure for him. Her belly was already beginning to swell, her waistline vanishing, and her face surprisingly adorned with faint spots. Although the family doctor repeatedly assured her that these would eventually disappear, she still worried about her skin.
But what good is worrying? Women beautify themselves for their beloved, yet she didn’t even have that. Perhaps she would have to wait until the day the child was born for him to look at her once. But wouldn’t that be exactly when a woman is at her ugliest and dirtiest?
Having a child is fortunate. He promised to give her a status once the child is born. However, for this child, she could no longer enjoy the wild romance with him. No man would want to touch a woman with a big belly.
