Chasing After My Beloved Wife novel Chapter 70

Joye was watching the latest news of the progress of the products in her office. All of a sudden, Janina rushed in without even knocking and scared her.

She covered her heart and frowned. “No matter what, I am still your boss. More so, I am pregnant. Can you not scare me like this?”

“I am just too angry. That pair of adulterers. If I had known about this earlier, I would have…”

Janina muttered, her face was filled with anger. Halfway through her words, she stopped talking. She could not let Joye know what she did the night before.

Joye frowned even more when she heard the words ‘adulterer’. She did not want to hear anything that had anything to do with Shawn and Vivian, but Janina wanted her to hear it no matter what.

“That scumbag, Shawn! Not only did he cheat on you, he even held a press conference and announced Vivian as his fiancee. D*mn that mistress!”

Joye's fingers tightened instinctively. He… held a press conference?

The wound in her heart hurt a little. She subconsciously pursed her lips so that she could hide the uncontrollable pain in her heart.

“Don’t talk to me about private affairs in the office anymore. Also, remember to knock on the door before you come in.”

Joye suppressed the pain in her heart and lowered her head, then continued checking the company’s progress as if nothing had happened. As of now, she only cared about the child in her womb, as well as Leonard Group. As for Shawn’s matters, and whoever his next wife would be, it had nothing to do with her.

“You are just pretending to be strong. I can tell that you are still feeling bad.”

Janina walked around the desk and hugged Joye. Was Shawn really that anxious to announce it? Vivian had already given birth to the child, why was he so frantic in giving her a title?

Upon being hugged all of a sudden, a gentle smile appeared on Joye’s slightly pale face. Her eyes were filled with determination. “I won’t feel bad because of what he has done. He was just a habit that I had gotten used to. I can get rid of this habit too.”

This was a terrible habit that she needed a long, long time to forget about. But so what? She would not allow herself to continue suffering for another man.

“You are right. Let that pair of adulterers go to hell.”

Janina nodded, seemingly assured. However, her heart still ached as she tried to smile.

“Quit it with those words. What were you trying to say just now before you stopped?”

She recalled how unusual Janina had been the day before, and Joye raised her eyebrows.

“Did you go and take revenge?”

“Haha, Joye, you really know me well. I just went to the jerk’s car and repainted it. Also, I taped photos of them on the car too.”

Joye was flabbergasted.

She was left speechless after hearing Janina say it in such a casual way. She could already imagine how angry Shawn must’ve been when he saw it.

"Don't do these things anymore in the future. Also, the people who watch your live streams are just kids. Think about how childish you are behaving before doing something..."

She still wanted to nag, but in the end, she could only sigh helplessly. Janina was only doing this for her good, she wanted to help her vent out her anger. But this was a matter between her and Shawn, it was not as simple as helping her vent her anger.

Joye thought about the press conference that was mentioned a little while ago where Shawn had declared Vivian as his fiancee. If Grandpa knew about this, he would definitely lose his temper.

At the thought of that grandfather who doted on her that much, she frowned once more.

......

As soon as the press conference ended, Shawn received a phone call from his family. He drove to the Richard family's mansion. Vivian reached out and held his finger. “Shawn, let me accompany you…”

“No need, wait for me here.”

Before Vivian could even finish talking, he stopped her. She could only smile awkwardly and nod. “Then I will wait for you in the car.”

After turning off the engine, Shawn left the car, then pushed the door of the villa open and walked in as if nothing had happened.

The TV in the living room was broadcasting the press conference that he had just attended. When Xaria saw him coming in, she gave him a warning look and kept glancing at Baird on the sofa.

However, Shawn acted as if he did not notice the unusual atmosphere. “Grandpa.”

“Don’t call me that.

Mr. Richard, you are already so powerful that no one can control you. Why are you still here?!”

Baird snorted coldly. From his trembling voice, it seemed like he was trying to suppress the anger in his heart. “You b*stard, you actually held a press conference to announce your new fiancee and that child.”

Even though he was an elder, he did not know how to face Joye.

"Dad, what are you talking about? Shawn hasn’t really done anything outrageous. Right, hubby?"

Xaria was scared that her son would be scolded, so she hurriedly nudged Maisie’s arm.

"Dad, calm down first. Shawn is not a nonsensical child. There must be a reason for him to do this. Why don't you listen to him first?"

“What the hell should I listen to? Shawn, let me ask you, who gave you the courage to call that child a member of the Richard family?”

No matter how soft Maisie’s tone was, he could not suppress the anger within Baird. He was so angry that his trembling body stood up from the sofa. He fiercely swung his walking stick towards Shawn.

"How could you do such a thing? Joye is pregnant with your child. Have you ever thought about her feelings? You b*stard. Just how deeply do you want to hurt her?"

They could disregard the three lives of the Leonard family, for now, even so, the Richard family was indebted towards the little girl who had sacrificed so much over the years. How could he have the audacity to do such a thing?

When the child was mentioned, Shawn smiled coldly. His evil yet cold gaze turned towards Yvon, who was close to him, and he spoke once more.

"Grandpa, the baby in Joye's belly is gone."

"Say that again!"

"The baby in Joye's belly is gone."

He repeated his statement. Baird's eyes were instantly filled with shock. Impossible. It was not easy for Joye to get pregnant, how could it be gone so easily?

"B*stard, how dare you talk nonsense!"

After he recovered from his shock, Baird started to move his cane again. This was not true, it could not be true. With Joye’s personality, she would protect the child in her womb even if it meant that she had to risk her life. How could she lose the child just like that?

"Why don’t you ask Yvon to see if I am telling the truth?"

Shawn stared at Yvon coldly. His mind was filled with images of him accompanying Joye for an abortion. His heart was filled with anger as he thought of how they killed his child.

Baird was stunned, he turned his head to look at Yvon, who was standing beside him. There was a look of horror on his face. "Yvon, tell me! Is the baby in Joye's belly really gone?"

A complicated expression flashed through Yvon's eyes. In the blink of an eye, he regained his calm and his tone was calm but full of certainty. "Yes, that child is really gone!"

Yvon's answer was like a clap of thunder. Baird's unstable body suddenly lost its support, and he fell to the sofa.

Joye's child was gone!

"Grandpa!"
