"We are very happy! Did you hear me clearly?"
Her remark was very angry, but Vireo could tell that she was also saying it out of spite. Vireo then glanced at Mira. Mira got more and more agitated. "Jake!
You're in such a down-and-out state right now. How d o you, a young master of a noble family, feel about that? I went to your house as a guest and I was scolded by your mother so harshly, and yet, you asked me to apologize to your mother. I have apologized and I was so obedient to you. In the end, you still dumped me just like that. Good! That's very good! You had never expected what happened after that, haven't you, Jake?"
Mira threw her head back and laughed hysterically." Jake! God is truly fair! Your family was actually into money laundering! Your mother deserved to be on death row! She died so miserably! There's also you. Weren't you very talented? Weren't you very domineering? A man of your words? You're absolutely nothing after losing your parent's protection!
"You son of a b*tch! I am lucky that you've dumped me and got yourself that woman! She had set you up very miserably, right? In order to cut all ties with you, and also to cheat you of the only few million dollars you had to save your life, she actually sold you off! Haha! She sold you off! Jake! Don't even think of shouting arrogantly in front of me anymore. You're already not the same person as before. I know more about you than you can ever imagine!"
Hearing Mira saying so, Jack was stunned. "How did y o-you know?"
Mira sneered. "Three years ago when you had just been sold off by your girlfriend, whom you've dated for three years and was already preparing to marry her, you escaped and also made a distress call, right?"
"Yes, the person I was looking for is you. You loved me so much, so I thought you probably would save me. I was thinking back then that if you have saved me, then I will live my life with you and be good to you for life. However, that call didn't get through," Jake said.
"You've gotten through! The person who picked up the call was my father and I was also right in front of him! However, I didn't want to save you. Jake Quillen! Do you know how miserably you've made me? I was pregnant with your child!"
When Mira said that she was pregnant with Jake's child, she was saying it in front of Vireo. She said it so naturally and she did not even glance at Vireo.
"But what did you do?" she continued. "You didn't want me anymore. You turned your back and tossed m e away. You even asked me to handle my child myself. I had a miscarriage when I was seven months pregnant. Since then, my uterus has been removed. Shouldn't you, on the other hand, pay a little price for that?"
"You were...the one who gave me away that time?" Jake asked in shock.
"That's right!" Mira sneered. "I was the one who had personally called the people from the criminal organization and told them your precise location, so they went after you again. It's a pity that you jumped off a cliff and escaped. However, that was great as well. From then on, you've also become like me. You n o longer are able to have a child. Haha! Say, is this retribution?"
Jake was so shocked that he could not even say anything anymore. Even Vireo was so shocked that he was speechless, let alone Jake. Vireo had figured out the relationship between Jake and Mira. However, he did not expect that after being married to his wife for s o many years and his wife seemed to have nothing to d o every day, she was still paying close attention to Jake behind his back. That was enough to show that Mira's so-called love for him and wholeheartedly wanting to live with him was nothing but a joke. Mira was still immersed in her unbalanced love with Jake i n the past.
Right at that moment, Vireo was even more certain that this child could be Mira and Jake's child. She did not have a miscarriage at all back then. She had given birth to the child.
While Vireo was still deep in his thoughts, he already heard Jake suddenly say very dispiritedly, "Mira, come with me. I have nothing left. All I have now is you and our child.
