Chapter 428 The Child Is In Danger

A message had been passed to Bruce that his lover had come. He found her, standing with her back turned to him. 'There she is, ' he thought, quickening his pace and wrapping his arms around her. Confusion dawned upon his features as he realized his mistake.

The face that stared back at him was not the one he had expected. This woman, even as her face was red with indignation, was much more beautiful.

Like any other mortal, Bruce was weak to the charms of the opposite sex. Having a controlling wife only served to strengthen his desire for escape.

However, whatever wayward thought he had was put to a stop at the sudden arrival of his wife. 'Speak of the devil, ' he muttered to himself.

She had found them in the most unsavory situation and the whole thing blew over before he could even think of an excuse. Cause and effect. All of it seemed to have happened naturally. Maybe too naturally. Bruce couldn't shake off the feeling that a piece was missing from the puzzle.

However, he had to focus at the matter at hand. He wasn't as stupid as others thought him to be. One could even say that he was smart in some way, because how could he have kept a mistress without being found out if he didn't use his brains?

He contemplated to himself for a while, then turned back his wife. "Honey, try to calm down a bit Why are you suddenly accusing me like this? Did something happen?"

The woman tightened her hands around her belly and kept silent. She did not dare say anything in Andrew's presence.

Andrew Lu. The man with the coldest of hearts in J City. He did not differentiate between men and women.

"No…" she answered almost faintly. "You were going to come to the party today, and I was not feeling well earlier, so I decided not to come and just stay home. Later, when I was resting, there was a knock at the door. The maid went to open it but whoever knocked had already left. There was a box placed outside the door. Thinking it was a delivery for me, she brought it inside.

I wasn't expecting any package, so at first I didn't bother to look at it. I was going to ask the maid to put it away, but she had already opened it before I could say anything. She was obviously shocked at what she saw, so I came over to take a look. Then, I came here."

The woman did not take the time to process what she had seen in the photos as they trembled in the maid's hands. The moment she saw images of her husband with another woman, all her logic was burnt by her fury. She just rushed forward. How could she have thought straight when she was about to go mad with anger?

"I was tricked to come he

ocent life was at risk.

"All right," she said, giving him their approval.

With that, Bruce carried his wife and left hurriedly.

The spectators saw the resolution of the matter. With nothing left to watch, they dispersed naturally, going back to their own businesses now that the show was over.

Besides, with Andrew here, they didn't want to push their luck. Staying longer would mean risking his anger.

Among them, a figure continued to watch from a safe distance.

What's going on?' Lesley clenched her teeth in hatred.

Why would Andrew come to her aid? Not long ago, she made some calls to make sure that everything would go exactly as planned. Ashley didn't have her phone with her, so how did Andrew appear here suddenly?

Today was her father's birthday, and she chose to screw it all up just to get back at Ashley. But even that did not go according to plan.

And now she had to watch the two of them get intimate. She could do nothing as bitter jealousy filled her mouth.

Sansa did not expect anything to throw a wrench in their plans. She thought she had been thorough enough in planning.

She didn't factor in the possibility of Andrew getting involved.

Throwing an apologetic glance at Lesley, she said, "Lesley, I'm sorry. I didn't expect this at all."

Lesley took a deep breath and smiled. "It's alright. Nobody could have foreseen this. You did well in planning. We can think of something else another time. I have to leave now."

"Okay. Be careful, Lesley," Sansa said.

Lucy watched her back disappear and turned to Sansa, her voice thick with worry. "Do you think Andrew will find out the truth?"

Sansa shook her head. "Impossible. I have been very careful. No one would find out anything."
