My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 201: Bad Blood

Josie was still wearing the floral printed cheongsam.It was late at night, and it was getting cold.So shewore a coat over her dress.

When she saw Ryan looking at her, she was obviously nervous.

"Ryan..."

"What is it?" Ryan asked in a cold voice.

Josie hesitated.

She swallowed and finally asked, "How is Ray? Is he fine?"

"It's difficult to get his fever down, and there is a risk of infection," Ryan said truthfully.

Josie walked closer to him.She nervously wrapped the coat tighter around her.

There was a nervous tremor in her voice as she spoke.

"Ryan, I don't know whether you will believe me or not, but I never thought of hurting that child.I justwanted to scare Wendy so that she would leave you alone.I honestly was not aware that the child hasleukemia.Otherwise, I would have met with Wendy instead of getting that boy kidnapped.Ryan stoodwithout saying a word.

All this time, not much of an emotion flickered on his face.And even after listening to Josie'sexplanation, he still did not show any emotion.

"Ryan..."

"Mom, congratulations! You've achieved your goal!"

The simple sentence cut through Josie's heart like a sharp knife.Her eyes turned red.

"Ryan, how can you say that to me? I did it for your own good.Why are you unable to understand whatmy intentions really are? Wendy doesn't deserve you.She is not fit for you.I want to see you marry awoman who is excellent in all aspects.Is that wrong on my path?"

Ryan's mouth formed a thin line.He looked cold and distant.

"Your intentions are to make me lose the love of my life!"

"Ryan! I..."

"It's getting late, Mom.You should go to bed."

"But Ryan..."

Ryan shot her a cold look and turned around.He marched without hesitation towards Precious' room.

Josie's eyes became redder and filled with unshed tears.

Yes, she was fraught with regret.

But she didn't regret that she had broken up Ryan and Wendy.She regretted the fact that she had usedthe child, and now his life was at stake.

'I shouldn't have hurt an innocent child.As for Wendy...' At the thought of Wendy, Josie gritted her teeth.

'l will never allow her to have any contact with Ryan ever again.'

Tonight was another sleepless night.

As Wendy was busy taking care of Raymond, her scandal was busy spreading too.

After interviewing Eris, the reporters then turned their focus on Cacia and Ruben.

Since their security wasn't that great, the reporters were currently standing outside their apartment, inthe narrow corridor, trying to get an interview with Cacia and Ruben.

After the two were ready, they quickly opened the door.

The reporters crowded at the door.

"It's so cold.Please come in and have a cup of hot tea.Don't worry, we will answer all your questions,"Cacia said with fake sweetness and welcomed the reporters inside.

Hearing this, the reporters entered the room.novelbin

Once they all settled in the living room, the reporters bombarded them with questions.

"Mr.Finch, it is said that your daughter, Wendy, had a one-night stand which resulted in her gettingpregnant before marriage.She gave birth to a child.At the same time, she was even dating Eris's fiance,Brian Oliver.Are you aware of these allegations?"

"It is said that Wendy leads a wild life, and she is also somebody's mistress.Can you shed some lighton this?"

"Mr.Finch, Eris and Wendy grew up together with you.Then why are their natures so different?"

"Mr.Finch, please answer..."

"Mr.Finch..."

Ruben was calmly sitting in a chair.His facial expression was schooled to not react to the reporters'questions.

But when he heard Wendy's name, his face twitched.He was petrified of Wendy.He couldn't helpshuddering at the thought that she had wanted to kill him with a scalpel.He had sworn that as long ashe lived, he would never cross paths or provoke Wendy.

After all, Luke was behind her.

But Cacia told him that Glory Media didn't issue a statement on Wendy's behalf after Oakley saidsomething about what had happened four years back.

He believed that Luke had abandoned Wendy.

As a result, Ruben was no longer afraid of her.He hated Wendy to the core.He wanted to cut her into athousand tiny pieces and feed her to the dogs.

Therefore, he faced the reporters and got ready to drag Wendy's name through the filth.

"Giving birth to a child before marriage? That I'm not aware of.However, I can definitely tell youthis.Four years ago, Wendy was indeed pregnant!"

All the reporters got excited.

Ruben raised his hand and continued, "Four years ago, at her cousin's wedding, Wendy had sex withsomeone and then got pregnant.But I am not aware whether she delivered the child or not."

"You don't know?"

"No, I don't know.When Wendy was around eight months pregnant, Brian found out that the baby in herwomb was not his, so he broke up with her in anger.Wendy couldn't accept it, so she ran away fromhome and never returned."

The reporters were shocked.

"You mean to say that Wendy was in love with Brian?"

"Yes! They were in love with each other for a while."

'My God! This is big news.And it was said by Eris and Wendy's father.This is much more credible thanOakley's words.' Some reporters were doubtful about the whole thing.

"Mr.Finch, Wendy is your daughter.Why is it that you're telling us about her dirty secrets? Is there somebad blood between you both?"

Hearing this, Cacia discreetly pinched Ruben hard.

Ruben immediately became all teary-eyed and weepy.He covered his face with his hands and sobbed.

The cameraman kept clicking photos.

"I don't want to mention these things.After all, she is my daughter.My own flesh and blood! But Wendyreally disappoints me.Her mother passed away when Wendy was very young.Her stepmother and Iworked hard.We struggled a lot to raise her with good values.We didn't expect anything in return.All wewanted was for her to grow up to be a good human being.But as I said before, she really disappointedus."

Ruben continued to sob as he spoke.

"Wendy was always a troubled child.She has been jealous of Eris all this time.She is insistent that herstepmother and I are partial towards Eris.I admit that we are partial towards Eris.After all, Eris is alwaysa good girl.Wendy is the opposite.She was only sixteen when she fall in love with a man.If you had tochoose between an obedient and sensible daughter and a rebellious and obstinate daughter, whichone would you prefer?"

lhe reporters nodded in understanding Ruben sniffed and wiped his tears.

"Just because we love Erie more than we love her, Wendy hates us.Four years ago, she ran away fromhome. She cur off all contact with us.We thought she was dead.For a long time, her stepmother and Iwere depressed.But recently, Eris told us that she saw Wendy at the studio.We didn't believe it.Wedidn't expect to see her ales She is so cruel.She hadn't been in touch with her family for severalyears.We went to see her, but she treated us worse than strangers.Later, I realized that the reason shewas su annoyance was because she had a strong backer."

The reporters sat up straighter while excitement tilled their eyes.

"Are you saying that Wendy is indeed someone's mistress?"
