Chapter 479 - 475

Chapter 479: Chapter 475

Upon hearing my words, Jones’s expression finally shifted, his gaze filled with unfamiliar emotions.

At that moment, his phone began to ring. I instantly recognized the name ’Catherine’ flashing on the screen. She probably couldn’t find him and was calling to hurry him up.

The phone kept ringing, and I scoffed, "Aren’t you going to answer that? What if she gets impatient and your plans get derailed?"

Jones bluntly hung up the call, stowing the phone away before beginning to explain, "I don’t have any dealings with her."

"You’re still lying to me even now. If you’ve truly gone against Coleman Co. because of me, then I can tell you right now, no matter what, I won’t be with you. I can’t stand being toyed with like this!" My anger

was reaching a boiling point and my tone grew increasingly irate.

"I’ve never lied to you. Everything I’ve done is for our future, don’t you understand?" Jones noticed my agitation and tried to reach for my hand, but I brushed him off.

"Don’t touch me!" I snapped, "Is this your way of saying you love me? Is this how you treat someone you care about?"

"Calm down first, hear me out." Jones was always the composed one, even now he was trying to cool my temper. I was no match for him.

I tried to calm myself down because I hadn’t heard Jones’s explanation yet. I wanted to know how he would continue to deceive me.

Once the atmosphere in the car had somewhat subsided, Jones’s voice broke the silence, "I admit,I’ve been in contact with Catherine recently, but it’s about the Coleman family, not to deceive you, understand?"

"So for the sake of the Coleman family, you and Catherine plotted to ruin Coleman Co.?" plus I felt like I was hearing a colossal joke. Catherine can’t wait to marry Damon and join the Coleman family, how could she help Jones destroy the Coleman family?

If the Coleman family went under, what benefit would she get?

Jones saw the cold smirk on my face and knew I didn’t believe him, so he continued explaining,

"Given Catherine’s status, marrying into the Coleman family isn’t easy. She wants Damon, not his family. If Coleman Co. were to face problems, it would benefit her more."

"Enough." I didn’t want to hear any more. If I believed a single word Jones said, it was because I was insane.

"You don’t believe me?" Jones frowned slightly.

"If that’s your explanation, then you should leave." My voice was colder than ever, my disappointment in Jones was at its peak.

He didn’t move, "You should know I love you."

He’s told me he liked me before, but he’s never used the word "love". To bring it up now. was laughable.

I gave Jones a cold look, not wanting to waste more words, "If you say you love me, then stop everything. If you continue to target Damon, I’ll remarry him immediately, I’ll even tell him about Serena

and Brandon’s real identities, got it?"

As soon as I finished speaking, Jones’s composure finally shattered. He gritted his teeth, "Eliana, why are you doing this?!"

"Because that’s the only leverage I have over you, isn’t it?" I asked quietly.

"Yes, you’re right!" Jones was clearly angered by my threat, "I’m a damn fool, I just can’t let it go!"

I closed my mouth and remained silent.

After a few minutes, Jones stepped out of the car, slamming the door shut in a fit of. anger.

I didn’t know if my words would have any effect, but it was my last resort. I drove back to James’s place, mentally and physically exhausted. Seeing my pale face, both he and Hannah were concerned.

They had somehow procured a play mat and Serena and Brandon were playing on it. I sat down quietly, joining the kids. Hannah joined us, asking softly, "Ms. Brooks, did you find Jones?" I nodded.

"And he..." Hannah glanced at James before continuing, "What did he say?"

"Nothing much. We’ll know his decision in a few days." I forced a smile, "Thank you for watching the kids today, were they good?"

Speaking of the kids, Hannah’s eyes softened, They were very good, not fussy at all. As long as someone is with them, they’re content. I hope my kid will be the same, I don’t want it to be too temperamental, that would be exhausting."

Once I registered what she said, I looked at Hannah’s stomach in surprise, "You’re pregnant?"

At this, James scratched his head, grinning awkwardly, "Yeah, about three months along now, but you can’t really tell yet.’

Hannah nodded, a mix of shyness and delight on her face.

Hearing the good news lifted my spirits. I quickly told James, "Then you’d better help her sit down. Why didn’t you tell me sooner? I had Hannah cooking and taking care of the kids. You should’ve said

something!"

Hannah quickly defended James, "Ms. Brooks, don’t blame him. I’m actually in pretty good shape. I haven’t had any pregnancy sickness, and all my check-ups have been fine. Moving around a bit is

good for my health."

"Even so, you need to rest and cat nutritious food, okay?" I advised her, momentarily thinking of Joshua

Morse, that optimistic, cheerful boy. If he knew this news, he would be so happy.

Each time I thought of him, it hurt.

Now, having rescued his sister from domestic violence, with his parents living comfortably in a rented house nearby, I felt like I had done everything I could for him.

In the midst of our chat, I suddenly felt a sharp twinge in my chest, followed by a faint throbbing pain.

When I finally realized what was happening, it sent a shiver down my spine. This pain was eerily familiar.

Gently, I pressed my hand against the aching spot on my chest. Hannah, noticing my discomfort, asked, "What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

"A bit," I admitted, frowning. Whenever I was emotionally distressed, I would feel this discomfort in my chest. The memory of my past life’s battle with breast cancer still haunted me, so any discomfort in that

area would immediately set me on edge.

Upon hearing this, Hannah immediately turned to James and said, "James, you need to take Ms. Brooks to the hospital right away. We can’t ignore any health issues!"

"Alright, Ms. Brooks, let’s head to the hospital now!" James, too, was concerned about me.

"But will you be okay alone with the kids?" I asked, shaking my head.

"Oh, don’t you worry about that," Hannah reassured me. "These two are the most well-behaved kids ever. You should go get checked out, otherwise I won’t be at ease!
