A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 145

One month later.

My belly was getting bigger and bigger, and my child was six months old.

There were more and more pieces of evidence against Edward. I could do nothing for him. Edward didn't say a word in court, and he didn't even defend himself.

When he was taken away, he took a deep look at me and looked at my belly with affection.

I knew what he meant. He wanted me to take good care of the child.

After Edward was put into prison, my mood was greatly affected. Moreover, my belly was getting bigger and bigger, so my temper became weirder and weirder.

Fortunately, Paul had been taking care of me all the time. Otherwise, I felt that I was going crazy.

"Are the clients dissatisfied with the order this time?" I looked at the order and feedback and looked at Paul unhappily.

The Xi's Group had not completely closed down yet. I used all my savings to support it.

I told those creditors that I would try my best to pay off debts of the Xi's Group.

Although they didn't believe what I said at that time, finally, after I begged them, they agreed to give me time to pay off the debts. I tried my best to draw design drafts and put them in the studio on the Internet to sell. A good design draft could sell for hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan.

But I was very tired. Because I was pregnant. I had to draw design drafts every day, and I was somewhat physically weak.

However, even if it was like this, I insisted on drawing and refused to give up.

The Xi's Group was Edward's company. I couldn't watch it close down.

"The client said that the design here is unreasonable and claimed a refund." Paul pointed to somewhere in the draft and said to me.

"Tell the client that I can modify it."

"He insists on claiming a refund. He wants to withdraw the investment." Paul looked at me worriedly and said.

Withdraw the investment?

I couldn't give up, because this was a very important client who I found on the Internet.

"Contact this client. I'll talk to him personally." I looked at Paul and struggled to get up.

Paul stepped forward to hold me and looked at my belly. He said, "Your belly is already very big. Forget about the company's affairs. My boss said that the company is not important. As long as you and the child are safe, everything will be fine."

"I can't be defeated like this. As long as I am alive, I will definitely hold on. I believe that my child will support me." I touched my belly, looked at Paul, and said firmly.

Paul didn't say anything, but he looked at me with a complicated look for a long time before going downstairs to prepare the car.

It seemed that William didn't have time to make trouble for me recently. Since Edward was defeated by him, he was probably enjoying the pleasure of victory and had no time to pay attention to me and the Xi's Group which was already in name only.

I wouldn't let him live a successful life like this.

I clenched my fists and looked out of the window with coldness in my eyes.

"Miss Mu, do you want me to continue to invest in your studio?" Mr. Wu glanced at me and said with a disdainful attitude.

Seeing his disdainful attitude, I smiled decently and said, "Didn't you like my design very much before? I don't know what you're dissatisfied with. As long as you tell me, I can modify it."

"There's no need. I've already connected G.M.Xiao of the Time Group. I don't want to order from a company that will be closed down at any time. I didn't know that you work for Xi's Group. I don't want to send the helve after the hatchet." Mr. Wu looked at me sarcastically, got up, and was about to leave.

I couldn't let the order fall through like this. Mr. Wu was very important for me to start my business.

There was no other way. So I had to hold his hand and persuade him, "Mr. Wu, the comments on the Internet are not true. Our materials and designs are the best. Please believe me. If anything bad happens, I will be responsible for it."

"Be responsible? How? Edward has been put in jail. Don't try in vain. Such an excrescence like the Xi's Group will be closed down sooner or later."

"You know that there are improper business practices between companies. Xi's Group had always been one of the biggest companies in Beijing, but it suddenly went bankrupt. You're so smart and you must be able to see some clues."

I didn't get angry. I just looked at Mr. Wu and said.

He narrowed his small eyes and approached me, saying, "You're a smart woman. No wonder Edward likes you so much. Well, I can give you a chance. But you should know that I'm a businessman and I only do things for interests. Now the image of the Xi's Group is so bad, smart companies will not cooperate with you."

"Ashley, you b*tch, let go of me..."

"Why are you still the same after such a long time? You are a superstar, but every time I see you, you are like a jealous woman and a shrew. Do your fans know?" I looked at Betty's twisted face and sneered.

Upon hearing what I said, Betty glared at me angrily, "Ashley, you shameless b*tch. You made Edward suffer like this. You'll die a terrible death."

"Don't worry. If I'm going to die, I'll definitely take you with me. Otherwise, I'll be too lonely."

I coldly watched Betty's ferocious look and then pushed her away.

I arranged my clothes. I was not in the mood to argue with Betty. All I wanted was to find someone who could invest in the Xi's Group.

"Ashley, I can pay all the debts off the Xi's Group. I can even bring Edward out of prison safely and let him return to his own position."

When I was about to leave, Betty suddenly said to me.

When I heard this, I frowned and looked at her.

She walked to me, touched her curly hair, and said, "I am the daughter of the Fang's Group. My father is so powerful. To us, William is nothing."

So? Was Betty trying to make a deal with me with Edward?

Was this her so-called love?

I narrowed my eyes and said indifferently, "The pieces of evidence of Edward's crime are irrefutable. You said that you can take Edward out of prison safely. Are you bragging to me? If you say that you can save the Xi's Group, I believe you. But you can't change the laws."

It seemed that Betty's mental illness hadn't recovered yet. Otherwise, how could she come to me and talk nonsense?

"Ashley, I don't have time to argue with you now. When I heard that something happened to Edward, I begged my father. My father had promised me to save Edward. Now all I need is your promise."

Betty narrowed her beautiful eyes and put her whole face close to me, saying, "I want you to leave Beijing forever, and I want you to have an abortion."

I was not surprised at all that Betty would say these words. If Betty didn't say these words, I would be surprised.
