Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss
Chapter 1280 - Chapter 1280 Chapter 1252 The Lie is Fake the Feelings are

Chapter 1280: Chapter 1252: The Lie is Fake, the Feelings are Real Chapter 1280: Chapter 1252: The Lie is Fake, the Feelings are Real Kiara’s mother said to Kiara, “You’ll have to rest early today, because we still need to go to the hospital for a prenatal checkup tomorrow, and we can’t go too late.” Kiara’s mother served the meal right in front of her daughter, her doting was evident, yet she saw her daughter repeatedly wiping her eyes.

“What’s wrong?”

“My left eye has been twitching all day. Could it be that I’m too tired? I haven’t been reading much lately either.”

Kiara spent most of her pregnancy comfortably, except for the month right after Yuzo Joel had left, which nearly drove her to depression, she hardly experienced any severe pregnancy symptoms. It was only in the later stages of her pregnancy that she had to get up several times at night to go to the bathroom. Each time she got up, Mario Yuno would wake up too and accompany her to the bathroom, even though Kiara repeatedly emphasized she wasn’t so weak as to fall while walking. But Mario Yuno persisted and insisted on taking her hand and leading her to the bathroom door, then waiting for her to come out to take her back.

As someone who was the center of attention for several members of the family, every little thing Kiara did was closely monitored by everyone.

When she mentioned her twitching eye, Kiara’s mother laughed.

“Twitching in the left eye is a good sign. Speaking of which, my first grand… daughter should be here in less than a month now, right?”

Kiara rolled her eyes. Her mother’s obsession with wanting her to have a boy was still very strong, as she had been hung up on the idea for months now.

Last time they had a prenatal checkup, her sister-in-law had sneakily told her that it was very likely to be a daughter, though it was not very clear due to the baby being mischievous and covering herself with her hands, she would not let anyone get a good look, except for one time her sister-in-law saw it but not clearly.

Such good news couldn’t be shared with Kiara’s in-laws outright; after having so many boys in the family, everyone was looking forward to something different, and speaking too soon would not only put pressure on Kiara but also disappoint the in-laws.

So Kiara didn’t burst her mother’s bubble about prefering a boy and just quietly ate her porridge.

“I think eye twitching has nothing to do with those superstitions of good or bad luck.”

As if to contradict her, the phone rang just after Kiara finished speaking.

Kiara’s mother answered it casually.

“Hello, may I ask who you’re looking for? Kiara?” Kiara’s mother heard a man calling her daughter in such a way and couldn’t help but be taken aback.

What’s going on?

A man calling her daughter like that? And the voice was not her son-in-law’s. Kiara’s mother’s middle-aged gossip-loving heart was about to explode.

She glanced sharply at Kiara; if that wretched girl dared to mess around behind Mario Yuno, she would be the first to disapprove!

However, when Kiara heard the way she was addressed, her ears perked up, and she instantly straightened her back.

Originally seated at the dining table, leisurely sipping her porridge, she quickly got up upon hearing the name she was called. She went over and snatched away the handset from her mother.

“Hello?! Is it you, Old Man, are you still alive?”

There was a muffled chuckle from the other side of the phone, “Yes, it’s me, I’m still alive.”

Ah! It really was him!

Kiara felt a surge of joy inside her heart, Yuzo Joel!

Kiara’s mother squeezed closer, craning her neck to listen in, but Kiara pushed her back with her arm.

“Mum, don’t cause trouble, it’s my PhD Advisor!”

Kiara’s mother remembered the last time she met Yuzo Joel but still couldn’t help shouting out.

“Elder Brother Joel, have you been doing well lately?”

“I’m doing alright.”

Kiara’s mother felt relieved upon confirming it was Yuzo Joel, and went to prepare some snacks for her daughter, who might be eating already, as the supply of fruits must not be interrupted.

Kiara previously had no idea about the matters between her mother and Yuzo Joel. Now that she knew, she couldn’t help but speculate about their recent conversation. After a few seconds of thinking and finding nothing suspicious, she was about to let it go when she heard a muffled laugh on the other end of the phone.

“What are you overthinking now, you silly girl?”

“Where did you go off to, disappearing for so long!” Although Kiara had been focused on protecting her baby these past few months and trusted that Yuzo Joel, with the capable people by his side, wouldn’t run into any trouble, she couldn’t stop worrying about his safety.

By now, she had come to terms with it, even if this time Yuzo Joel was deceiving her as he had done before, she was ready to accept it. At most, she would give the old man a beating and then demand an apology. She didn’t want to lie to herself anymore; she truly felt a kinship with the old man, although she didn’t know when this feeling began. Maybe it was from the moment he lied to her, saying he had transferred the affection for his deceased daughter to Kiara. Even though the lie was false, the feelings were real.

After having lived together for so long, Kiara’s heart wasn’t made of stone; how could she not be moved?

Thus, after being apart for several months, the moment she heard Yuzo Joel’s voice again, she felt that all he had done before didn’t matter, as long as he could come back.

Kiara’s concern reached Yuzo Joel’s ears, prompting a proud chuckle from him, “See, what did I tell you? Time heals all. I’ve only been gone a few months, and the baby has already started to miss me. Come on, give Kiara some time to express how much she’s missed me.”

The affection Kiara had just started to feel was quashed by his flippant attitude, the old man had the knack to annoy her within seconds!

“Alright, alright, I’ll stop teasing you. I’m just calling to let you know I’m safe. Everything’s sorted, and I’ll be home the day after tomorrow. How about that? I kept my promise to be back before you deliver our baby, didn’t I?”

“Hmph, like I care if you come back!” Kiara said, pretending to speak the opposite of her true feelings.

“Okay, okay, you may not care, but I do. I’m looking forward to coming home,” Yuzo Joel said, wanting to hang up.

“Wait, I have something to ask you,” Kiara remembered the document that had nearly depressed her.

“What’s up?”

“The document you gave me, the first section of the first part, what was it about?”

“Oh, that? Have you read it already? The first chapter is all theoretical stuff. Of course, you have solid fundamentals, so that shouldn’t be too hard for you. Some of the later sections are very difficult, which I’ll explain to you when I get back. Don’t skip ahead. There’s a lot of dangerous material later on, and you could run into trouble if you try to go through it alone.”

The materials Yuzo Joel prepared for Kiara were, of course, meticulously planned. Ever since he noticed her in an international competition, he had started preparing these for her.

“Are you sure it’s theoretical?” Kiara squinted.

“Of course. How could there be a mistake in the materials I personally prepared for you?”

“The password on your hard drive, who else knows it?” So there was a tampering, Kiara needed to narrow down the suspects now.

“Your Eldest Brother knows, and so does your Third Senior Brother, and your Mu–ow!” Yuzo Joel let out a grunt.

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing. Why do you want to know this?”

Kiara sensed there might be something wrong on his end, but figured she could just wait and ask him when he returned.

“When are you coming back?”

“The morning after tomorrow.”

“Fine, I’ll be waiting for you at home that morning.”

After hanging up the phone, Kiara revealed a determined expression, suggesting she would soon find out who altered the first chapter of the hard drive Yuzo Joel gave her.

Since the hard drive was password-protected and only a few people knew the password, she planned to interrogate each of them upon their return, to see who was responsible and understand their intentions!
