Billionaire’s Mistress

Chapter 10



Nigel’s POV

“Miss Leanna, have a seat.” Looking at her bitter face, I said on purpose.

“I…”

“Miss Leanna! Are you still playing chess?” I don’t have the patience to keep her waiting. It’s just this round. If I win, Edmund will be completely out.

In the past few years, the Baker Group has been suppressed by The King group. The whole industry has laughed at us as the second in a thousand years. I hold my breath.

This time, I finally got the news that Edmund wanted to come to City X to develop the land. In order to be ahead of him, I spent a lot of manpower and material resources to plan this. I tried to secretly operate and get the Moon Island’s development right. It was rare that Edmund came to me again. Of course, I was eager to embarrass him.

Leanna raised her hand and asked in a low voice, “can I surrender?”

“Surrender? Hahaha…” I laughed and pointed at her. “Of course, as long as Mr. Edmund is willing to.”

Edmund, who had been sitting aside and had nothing to do with this matter, stood up and walked to Leanna. He took over the messy cards from her and threw them on the table. “Congratulations, Mr. Nigel. You win.”

Then he pulled Leanna up from the chair, turned around and left.

“Thank you, Mr. Edmund. I’ll send you an invitation when the celebration party is held for the project foundation.” I’m extremely happy.

Leanna’s POV

After getting on the car, I sat in the row of seats behind Edmund. I was thinking about how to apologize to make up for the billions of business I lost by accident just now.

After thinking for a long time, I said carefully to the back of Edmund’s head, “Mr. Edmund… I… I’m sorry… I made you lose billions of business…”

“It doesn’t matter.” He didn’t turn around. An unusually calm voice came from the front.

Hearing these three words, I was finally relieved.

Fortunately, he didn’t blame me.

“Just return the money.”

“What?” Hearing this, I got excited and stood up from my seat.

The roof of the electric scooter was not high. I stood up very fast, and my head hit the roof heavily. It was so painful that stars appeared on my head and my eyes were filled with tears.

“Miss Leanna, are you okay?” Oarlan asked with concern.

With tearful eyes, I choked my mouth and said in a mournful tone, “I’ve told you that I can’t. It’s you who insisted on asking me to play. Now you want me to pay back the money after losing. How can I get so much money? Even if I’m sold, I can’t afford it.”

Edmund finally turned around and opened his mouth without any emotion. “It doesn’t matter. I’m not in a hurry. You can pay it back slowly.”

Hearing this, I cried even harder.

Slowly, I’ll pay back the billions. How long do I have to pay them back?

On the way back, I cried all the time and my eyes were swollen.

When we got back to the club, Oarlan didn’t go upstairs with us. He went out for something.

I followed Edmund into the elevator. When I saw my red and swollen eyes in the mirror, I felt so pitiful and began to cry again.

“Have you cried enough?”

I was frightened by his growl and stopped crying immediately. I looked at him blankly.

the elevator door opened.

Alvin’s POV

I came in with Venus. When I saw Edmund, I greeted him immediately, “Mr. Edmund, you just came back?”

He replied lightly.

Seeing his cold attitude, I didn’t dare to talk to him anymore and closed my mouth silently.

Venus, who was standing aside, suddenly asked, ” what’s wrong with Leanna? Why does she cry?”

I immediately turned to look at Leanna, who was hiding behind Edmund. As expected, her eyes and nose were red. Obviously, she had just cried.

“No… nothing… There is something in my eyes.” Leanna shook her head and sobbed.

“Is that so? Let me help you to see what it is.” Venus said and was about to step forward.

Before she could get close to Leanna, a long and powerful arm blocked her way. “Miss Venus seems to like meddling in other people’s business?”

The Venus couldn’t help but shiver and took two steps back, not daring to go any further.

Noticing that Edmund didn’t like to be disturbed, I immediately winked at Venus and pushed the elevator door open. With an apologetic face, I said to him, “Mr. Edmund, we’re here. Please take care.”

Without raising his eyelids, Edmund pressed the close button.

Leanna’s POV

The elevator went up all the way to the top floor.

I took out the room card from my backpack and opened the door. I was about to squat down and take the slippers for Edmund.

When I bent down, Edmund grabbed my arms and lifted me up. “Go to the bathroom and wash your face.”

My mind is now full of the debt of billions, and I don’t have time to think about anything else. He asked me to wash my face, and I’ll go there obediently.

When I finished washing my face and was about to come out, I saw him leaning against the door with an ice bag in his hand.

Before I could react, he had already pulled me over, and the ice bag in his hand was directly stuck to my eyes.

“Ouch…”

It was so cold! Subconsciously, I leaned back and almost hit the door frame behind me. Fortunately, Edmund was quick eyed and agile enough to hold the back side of my head so that I could escape.

“Don’t move.” His voice was very dignified.

Gritting my teeth, I removed the ice pack from my face and stared at him with my red and swollen eyes. “Mr. Edmund, do you really want me to pay you back?”

“Do you think I’m joking with you?” He folded his arms across his chest and looked at me leisurely.

“But you asked me to bet with them, so I lost. I don’t want to lose your money by myself.” I argued strongly.

He lowered his head and thought for a while seriously. Then he said, “what you said makes sense. I really need to take some responsibility for this matter.”

“Really? Do you agree with me?” I didn’t expect him to say that. For a moment, joy appeared in my eyes.

“Of course, I am a reasonable person.” As he spoke, a strange smile appeared on his face. “Since I was wrong in this matter, I am willing to take the responsibility. I will take more than half of the billions you lost, and the remaining one billion will belong to you.”

“What? Ten… One billion?”

Isn’t it an astronomical figure for me?

“Don’t worry. You can pay it back slowly.” The smile on his face was creepy.

“I don’t have money.” I gritted my teeth and began to act shamelessly.

Anyway, he, Edmund, was not a good man. To deal with a bad man, I had to use a bad trick.

“No money?” Hearing this, he frowned with some embarrassment. He cupped his chin with both hands and said, “it’s not easy.”

Seeing that he couldn’t do anything, I couldn’t help raising my eyebrows. “Yes, I don’t have any house, car, or notes. My salary is only a little every month. How can I pay you back one billion?”

“It’s not impossible to return it.”

“Er…”?

“You can pay it back if you sell yourself.” He smiled and said.

He smiled, “it doesn’t matter. I’ll suffer a loss and buy you.”

“Don’t make fun of me…” the more I heard, the more strange he looked. Seeing that he was not joking, s looked at him vigilantly. “What do you mean? Why did you buy me?”

“What do you think? What can you do if I buy it?” He asked meaningfully.

When I heard this, my heart skipped a beat. I thought of the nights three years ago.

At that time, he just bought me with money, didn’t he?

“No, No. I swear that I will never do that again in my life. Even if I die in the future, I will never…” shaking my head, I looked terrified. But before I could finish my words, I heard his lazy voice coming from above. “No, I really can’t. It’s really not worthwhile to spend one billion buying a

“Eh?” What did he mean by saying that?

Did I get it wrong? I looked at him in confusion.

“What? Do you want to do something else?” He asked.

Realizing that I was thinking too much, my face immediately flushed like an apple.

“Apply some ointment to your eyes and ask someone to bring lunch here.”

After saying that, he turned around and walked to the living room.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

I held the ice pack in my hand and pressed it on my hot little face.

I felt so embarrassed that I almost misunderstood him.

He probably didn’t notice that.
