Chapter 1115 You Must Be Where I Say
Upon hearing this, Daryl's fingers holding the cigarette stiffened, and then he suddenly stared at Cecilia with a sneer. "Cecilia, you're ridiculous. When I wanted to talk about feelings, you talked about money. When I talked about money, you wanted to talk about feelings. Let me make it clear to you, a woman like you is only fit to talk about money with me."
Daryl's words were like a sharp knife stabbing into Cecilia's heart. Her beautiful eyes looked at Daryl with hurt, and only she knew the bitterness in her heart.
Actually, it was understandable for Daryl to think of her this way; she had brought it upon herself.
However, she did not regret it. After all, Rainey and Quentin were doing well now, and she heard that her sister-in-law was almost due to give birth.
Her suffering in exchange for the happiness of her entire family was worth it.
But since she had chosen money back then, she had to accept today's pain. The only one suffering was the baby in her belly.
"Actually, you've always loved Skylar, haven't you? When you dated me, it was just a novelty, wanting to experience the love of an ordinary person, right?" Cecilia's eyes glistened with tears, and her voice was filled with deep sadness.
She was probing to see if he had ever had any genuine feelings for her. If he had, then she still had hope, and her kid would have the hope of being born as a normal kid.
Upon hearing this, Daryl was already impatient. "Did you fly for over ten hours from Northstar City to Maple Valley just to ask me such a boring question?"
Facing the question, Cecilia calmed herself down.
Then, Cecilia smiled bitterly. "Fine, let me ask you another question. If we could have a kid, would you give that kid a legal status?"
Hearing this, Daryl frowned and then harshly extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray.
Then, Daryl stood up directly, his face filled with immense anger. "Cecilia, you take birth control pills every day, and you think you could have my kid? What a joke! Well, I get it. In the month I wasn't in Northstar City, did you accidentally sleep with someone else and now come to me to take responsibility?"
"How can you think of me like that?" Hearing this, Cecilia was completely stunned. She didn't expect Daryl to think of her as so filthy and shameless.
At this moment, Daryl calmed down first, pursed his lips, and then put one hand in his pocket. After a long time, he asked, "Did you hear something?"
"What do you mean?" Cecilia stared at Daryl, puzzled.
At this moment, she deeply regretted coming here. She wanted to leave and no longer face this utterly cold Daryl.
The next moment, Daryl hesitated and then said, "I have a social event tonight. You settle down here first, and we'll talk about it another day."
"Is there any need for us to talk?" Cecilia stood up and reached for her suitcase.
Seeing her about to leave, Daryl frowned.
The next moment, Daryl said mercilessly, "Don't forget, our contract hasn't expired yet. You stay put where I say. No bargaining!"
After saying that, Daryl left the apartment without looking back.
Cecilia stood there, staring blankly at Daryl's departure until the door closed.
After Daryl left, Cecilia slowly collapsed onto the couch.
Glancing around at this unfamiliar environment, Cecilia didn't expect this outcome.
She thought that after she revealed her pregnancy, Daryl might either ask her to have an abortion or give her an explanation.
But she didn't even have the courage to say it, and he forcibly kept her here.
He wasn't wrong; their contract still had more than a month left. He had the right to decide her stay.
And she was someone who honored contracts. Since that was the case, she would fully fulfill the contract. After all, it was only thirty-some days.
She could also use this time to think about what she should do in the future.
In the evening, a luxurious private club was brightly lit, surrounded by luxury cars.
A charity ball organized by a Maple Valley big shot was being held here, with major figures from both the political and business circles of Maple Valley in attendance.
Susan, wearing a golden gown, appeared at the ball with Seb, who was dressed in a black suit.
By this time, the ball was already crowded with people, greeting and chatting in groups.
Susan had accompanied Seb to many such balls and dinners, so she was familiar with the routine. However, like Isabella, she didn't like these hypocritical occasions and was just going through the motions.
Seb walked to the long dining table, took a glass of juice, and handed it to Susan considerately. "Have something to drink first. I'll go over there and say hello to a few acquaintances."
"Sure." Susan nodded with a smile.
After Seb left, Susan took a couple of sips of juice and then scanned the crowd.
Suddenly, a familiar figure caught Susan's eye, and she was stunned.
Not far away, a tall, handsome man in a white suit looked even more dashing.
It was Daryl. Susan had seen him twice before, so she remembered him clearly.
Beside Daryl stood a sweet-looking young woman, holding Daryl's arm, dressed elegantly and with her eyes fixed on Daryl.
Seeing the young woman, Susan frowned.
At this moment, Seb, who had finished greeting his friends, walked over.
Seeing Susan intently looking at something, he followed her gaze and naturally saw Daryl and the beautiful young woman.
"Daryl is here too. No wonder, he has taken over his father's position, and the Fields Family is considered a top-tier family in Maple Valley," Seb said in Susan's ear.
"Do you know the young woman beside him?" Susan's attention was entirely on the woman next to Daryl.
Seb scrutinized the distant figures and furrowed his brow, saying, "I'm not very familiar, but if I'm not mistaken, she should be Skylar, the heiress of Tate Corporation."
Hearing this, Susan turned to Seb and said, "So she's Skylar. She does look sweet and comes from a good family."
"Are you jealous? Is Daryl more charming than me?" Seb suddenly frowned and asked.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just feeling indignant for Cecilia." Susan rolled her eyes at Seb.
