A Graduation Gift
Chapter 79 You Are Nothing But A Mistress
Ivy's sarcasm could be felt throughout the room. Jill, in the meantime, continued watching TV, unfazed by the scene unfolding around her.
Cassandra clenched and unclenched her fists, tempering her anger. Her lips curled into a disdainful smile.
"Well, even when you do give birth to the baby, you will still be nothing but a mistress," she hissed.
This wiped the smile right off of Ivy's smug face. Cassandra had to admit that Ivy's audacity did not surprise her. It seemed that the world was littered with such wretches already.
She watched Ivy's face darken as animosity welled up in Ivy's eyes.
Ivy was well aware of the terms that she had agreed to: she would give birth to the baby and immediately hand it over to the Tang family, after which she was to leave the country and never return.
She bet, not only her future but also her baby that she was going to win in the end.
She was confident that Lionel loved her more than he did his wife, and this was her most powerful bargaining chip. She was also banking on Jill's dissatisfaction with her daughter-in-law who tended to be stubborn and overbearing. These gave her hope. Ivy was willing to sacrifice everything for the chance to be part of the Tang family and replace Cassandra.
Her best years had been devoted to Lionel whom she had loved for the longest time. Handing him over to another woman now was the last thing she could ever do.
Walking towards the main lobby at that moment was Lionel who entered afterwards. He caught a glimpse of Cassandra and his eyes immediately lit up.
Her days in the hospital did not seem to make her tired or weary. On the contrary, it was as if she glowed with life.
The white dress she was wearing suited her so well that it almost felt as if it were part of her.
Cassandra smiled when she spotted her husband carrying a pile of baby products.
Never had she imagined to see him like this and the sight amused her.
As Horace came out of his study, he gave Cassandra a warm smile. He was happy to see that she was home.
"Are you feeling better now, Cassandra? I asked the cook to prepare your favorite silverfish soup for dinner. It will be great for your health as well!"
Upon hearing this, Jill sprang up from the couch. She turned to Ivy with a motherly smile fixed on her face.
"Ivy, I ordered the silverfish specially for you. They are fresh and just got delivered here this morning. As an expectant mother, you need more nutrition and they are great for you. I will also remind the cook to use less salt. Eat as much as you want," she said.
