Her words were so shameless, yet Lucia wasn’t exceptionally angry with her.

When Lucia reached the restaurant, Renata was already sitting in the private room awaiting her arrival.She had on exquisite makeup and donned a body con black dress. Her hair was slightly curled and a pleasant perfume fragrance surrounded her.Seeing Lucia, she smiled and said, “Come, Sister. Have a seat. ”Lucia stood by the table and glared at her coldly. She didn't sit but looked down at her, asking ; " just tell me why you called me here. "Renata did not appear bothered at all. She gracefully took a check out of her purse and placed it on the table.“Sister, here’s 10 million dollars. I believe it’s enough for you to live comfortably for some time. If not, it could save you from the stress that your brothers medical bills is putting you through "

" As things stand now, I don't think Johnny would still be footing those bills and heart surgery these days is expensive. " She looked up, and on her face was a clear look of arrogance and superiority. “I know that Pablo's illness requires a lot of money, and you’re only depending on the income from the minor shoots you've been going for. It’s hard on you. ”With this sum of money, you can at least save Pablo for the mean time. ”Lucia stared at the check on the table but did not respond.“Sister, let’s just be open with each other and not beat around the bush. " Renata's lips curled up and she rested her hand on her belly. “ sister, I'm carry Johnny's child now . And I plan on keeping this baby.

"But before that, you’ve got to renounce your engagement with him. Otherwise, his child and I wouldn’t be officially recognized. “ Since Johnny is about to take over his family's business, He can’t possibly make any mistakes or risk anything at this point in time. If not tongues will wag. As such, I hope you’ll take the initiative to go over to his family and ask to renounce the engagement.”

Hearing her say all this with such righteous air, made Lucia feel so disgusted that she could puke. Her words were so shameless, yet Lucia wasn’t exceptionally angry with her.

She’d probably already vented all her emotions the previous night. Now, as she listened to all of what she said, she found it ironic and ridiculous.She smiled sarcastically. “ Renata, is Johnny aware that you're here talking to me about this?” When Renata mentioned her being pregnant the previous night, Johnny hadn’t appeared especially happy, he was quiet surprised actually. This child was purely an accident and she's sure he wouldn't want Renata to have it. Before he successfully takes over the business, he definitely wouldn’t go public about his relationship with Renata.After all, this wasn’t glorious; if anything, it would tarnish his reputation. Who would love to let the world know that he cheated on his fiancee with his fiancées half sister. Thus It was clear that Johnny couldn’t have known nor approved of Renata coming to look for her.

As expected, Renata's expression changed instantly when she heard what Lucia said.

"Lucia, just let him go already. The one Johnny likes now is me. He’s stopped loving you a long time ago. If not for the engagement that our families had set since you were young, do you really think he’d choose you? “

Lucia, is there any point in clinging onto a man who doesn’t love you?” Lucia seemed rather unfazed when she heard her . In fact, she cooled down more easily when she heard these shameless words coming from Renata. She looked at Renata calmy and said " This is between Johnny and me, there’s no reason for a third party like you to interfere . "

Renata's expression darkened at her words.She bit her lip. “In that case, you’re saying you won’t ask to renounce the engagement?”

Lucia sneered at her words. “If you’ve come to look for me just to discuss this matter, I’ve got no interest in it.” With that, she turned around, ready to take her leave.“Hold it there!”Renata stood up and grabbed her hand tightly. “ Lucia, just how much more money do you need to satisfy you for you to leave Johnny? If 10 million dollars is not enough, what about 15 million? Don’t be too greedy, my offer is enough ..…”

Pah! Before she could finish her sentence, a slap sound echoed in the enclosed cubicle. Lucia slapped her!

She couldn’t hold it in any longer and slapped her in the face!

Renata's eyes widened with surprise.

Lucia slapped her. She really laid a hand on her just now!

A hand print appeared on Renata’s pretty face.Shocked speechless by what just happened, she held a hand to her cheek as a look of disbelief emerged on her face. When she snapped out of her daze, she lifted her arm, all ready to return the slap.But just at that moment, she saw a familiar figure appear at the door with the corner of her eye. She hurriedly retracted her hand and pretended to stagger backward.Lucia did not understand what was going on, but she knew Renata was up to no good, looking like that. Renata suddenly looked afraid, even traumatized, as she looked at her. Her face pale as she said “Sister, I’m sorry, I know I’m in the wrong. I didn't mean to take Jonny away from you. I really didn't.

But I can’t control my feelings, I really love Johnny. Sister, please forgive me, please don’t hurt my child.” She looked like she was about to fall to the ground as she said those words. Out of the blue, the door was pushed open swiftly as a man dashed in. “ Renata!” The man hurriedly held unto her, just as she was about to fall.“ Renata, are you alright?” Jonny held unto her as he glared at Lucia.

" Lucia, what do you think you're doing?" Renata leaned on him and looked up with teary eyes. She then called out in the most pitiful manner, “ Johnny.” “I’m so afraid. Our baby almost…” She began trembling as she spoke, and tears now rolled down her cheeks. “ Johnny, I know I’ve let Sister down, and I won’t dare expect nor ask for her forgiveness. She can scold or even hit me and I’d be willing to take all of it. But our baby is innocent! How could she…” Renata's cheek was still swollen from being hit earlier.The handprint had not faded.Even her eyes were swollen.She seemed so startled by what had just happened as she shivered in his embrace. Johnny's heart went out to her as he saw how terrified she looked.When he turned around to face Lucia, his face was lined with despise and disappointment. “ Lucia, the baby Renata is carrying is only about a few months old. This is the most unstable period. Given the way you shoved her, if she really did fall to the ground, do you know what the consequences would be?” “I always thought you were kind and gentle, when did you become so vicious!”

I was the one who hurt you." I'm the one you need to punish if you want to. But.... "

“I’m vicious?” Lucia felt herself sway as she stared at the man in disbelief.He was clad in a full white outfit. This handsome, charismatic man was like a prince.This face, she’d admired for so many years.But at this point, this face seemed all too foreign and unrecognizable.She was his fiancée.They had known each other since they were kids! And yet he instantly chose to believe Renata's words and not listen to her side of the story. All this years… was that all there was to his trust towards her? In Johnny's eyes, she was just a vicious woman who tried to hurt his woman and innocent child !Seeing the way he held Renata tightly in his arms, and how differently he looked at her, her heart went cold as disappointment filled her eyes. “ Johnny, have you forgotten whose fiancé you are? And who the woman in your arms is?”Johnny froze for a few seconds at her words. He stared at Lucia's mockingly sorrowful eyes and frowned, a trace of guilt finally appearing in his eyes. However, he continued hugging the woman in his arms tightly. “I’m sorry, Lucia. But Renata is pregnant with my child, I have decided to take responsibility for it.”

“Ha ....” Lucia felt like she had just heard a big joke. “You have to take responsibility? What about me? Johnny, what am I?” Johnny pursed his lips tightly. He looked down at Renata’s pale face and trembling body. He tightened his embrace and held her firmly in his arms. Renata also hugged onto him tightly, still appearing very attached to him. She called gently, “ Johnny? ”Johnny reached out and touched her head, then raised his head to look at Lucia. After a long silence, he said hoarsely, “ Lucia, I’m sorry. The person I love is Renata. I can’t deceive myself, and I don’t want to deceive you. ”
