Chapter 298


    Chapter 298 Illegitimate Child


    “I-I’m sorry,” stammered rissa piteously.


    Lauren’s face was devoid of any emotion.


    As such, rissa could only leave in embarrassment.


    Lauren knitted her brows.


    I can’t let anyone know that the female lovebug is a goner.


    Fortunately, rissa had no idea what the female lovebug was.


    Lauren mulled over it for a while before her lips slowly curved into a rigid smile.


    A n had formed in her mind.


    Meanwhile, rissa was walking toward the gate when she bumped into Yareli, who was walking in.


    Yareli was furious. “Are you blind?”


    rissa also red at her. “Well, my eyes are not used for looking at something this ugly!”


    “What did you say?” Yareli red daggers at rissa.


    Thetter snorted disdainfully. “You heard me. I said you were ugly!”


    Yareli raised her hand to hit rissa but was not prepared for thetter’s reflexes.


    rissa managed to grab Yareli’s hand in mid-air. She then pped Yareli first.


    Yareli howled, “How dare you hit me!”


    “So what if I did? I hit whoever I please!” hissed rissa with her arms akimbo.


    Yareli reached out to grab rissa’s hair.


    All right, so be it!


    rissa smirked at the attempt. “What a weakling.”


    Having said that, she grabbed Yareli by the hair and threw her to the ground.


    Satisfied, she then proceeded to make a show out of dusting her hands clean.


    “I don’t know where the heck you came from. You just barged in here without even asking me who I


    am, and now you want to pick fights with me?” said rissa disdainfully.


    “Mom! Mom!” Yareli yelled.


    The purpose of her visit that day was to see Vanessa.


    Vanessa heard loud shoutinging from downstairs and hurried over to look.


    “Yareli, what happened?” Vanessa went to help her daughter.


    Yareli stood up and pointed at rissa. “Mom, she hit me!”


    Vanessa was stunned.


    She looked at rissa faintly. “You’re… rissa?”


    rissa’s expression sank. “You’re the mistress?”


    “Watch your mouth!” Yareli red at her.


    “And you must be the illegitimate child,” said rissa contemptuously.


    Yareli’s face was gloomy.


    rissa gave them both a cold look and turned away.


    “Stop right there!” Yareli seemed to be particrly agitated. “You’d better exin yourself to me!”


    Vanessa stopped her. “Let her go.”


    “But Mom, she hit me!” Yareli was livid.


    “If you want to marry Samuel, don’t mess with her,” said Vanessa solemnly.


    “What do you mean by that, Mom?” Yareli was puzzled.


    “Regardless, you are not allowed to provoke her now.” Vanessa sounded thoughtful. “We still have a lot


    of things to do, and we have to rely on her father to help us.”


    Yareli pursed her lips. “Who is her father?”


    “All right, that’s enough with the questions. I’ll let you knowter,” said Vanessa, her tone morose. “Let’s


    go. I’ll take you to see Lauren first.”


    “Who’s Lauren?” Yareli frowned.


    “She’s the doctor here, and she’s very powerful.” Vanessa continued, “Once she imnts the female


    lovebug into your body, Samuel will definitely fall madly in love with you.”


    “Really?” Yareli’s face revealed hope.


    Vanessa then promptly brought her daughter into Lauren’s clinic.


    Inside, Lauren looked at them mildly. “What is it?”


    “Lauren, this is my daughter, Yareli,” Vanessa said with a half-smile. “I’ll leave the lovebug business to


    you.”


    “A female lovebug is different from its male counterpart. The female lovebug needs to be imnted at a


    specific time for it to work,” said Lauren coldly. “I’m afraid it isn’t for another two days.”


    Vanessa was surprised. “Two more days?”


    “Why, can’t you wait?” Lauren asked icily.


    “Of course, we can. We’ll wait,” said Vanessa.


    “Then leave. I have preparations to make,” murmured Lauren.


    “Okay.” Vanessa nodded as she tugged Yareli away.


    Yareli said unhappily, “Mom, why are the people here so weird?”


    “If anyone here were normal, they would be of no help to us.” Vanessa looked at her and said, “Let’s


    go. I’ll show you around.”


    Yareli hesitated for a moment. “Mom. After so many years, you’ve said nothing about my biological


    father. Why is that?”


    “I’ll tell youter,” said Vanessa mysteriously.


    Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    Yareli pursed her lips, feeling a little dissatisfied.


    What is it that you can’t just tell me?


    When rissa returned home, Raymond happened toe down from the second floor.


    His expression was very severe. “You’re back and you haven’t said a word to me.”


    rissa simply snorted and walked past him.


    Raymond frowned.


    What’s going on here?


    rissa returned to her room. She closed the door andy on the bed, wiping away tears in secret.


    Just then, herputer turned on by itself, followed by a burst of loud singing.


    An animated figure then started to chime with a singsong voice: Little girl, little girl, crybaby cry, your


    shoe has gone missing, and your thoughts are now awry!


    rissa gritted her teeth. “What terrible singing!”


    She came to theputer and sat down.


    A line of text popped up on theputer: My singing was perfect. You just didn’t know how to


    appreciate it. What a philistine you are.


    rissa tapped on the keyboard with both hands.


    Instead of replying to the hacker, she was trying to find his tail.


    rissa vowed to uncover their identity today.


    Unknown: Ooh… someone’s angry. Who pissed you off?


    rissa ignored it and continued her pursuit.


    She soon felt like she was close to exposing their identity.


    However, before she could do anything, the hacker fled.


    How despicable. I will try again!


    Unknown: So you want to catch me? Are you in love with me and want to elope?


    rissa: I can’t be bothered to elope with someone so repulsive.


    Unknown: Maybe you are lonely after all, poor little girl. Poor attention-deprived little girl. I have an


    idea. Why don’t youe and spend some time with me instead? I have plenty of hours to kill, and I


    can show you a good time.


    D*mn it!


    rissa was about to explode in anger.


    She ended up sulking.


    With renewed efforts and determination, she started the chase again.


    Sure enough, she managed to scramble into another loophole.


    Unknown: Not bad, not bad. I ran a little slower and you really caught up. Come on, little short legs.


    Run like the wind.


    Immediately after sending that, the hacker vanished without a trace.


    “D*mn it!” rissa smashed her fists into the keyboard.


    Shortly after, tears began to fall like rivulets down her cheeks.


    She was not agitated because of this unknown hacker but because she had encountered Vanessa.


    The hacker soon returned once more.


    Unknown: Why are you crying?


    rissa: It’s none of your business!


    Unknown: Oh, I get it. You have a crush on me, and you’re upset that you don’t even know my name.


    It’s with great difficulty that I tell you this, so you’ll have something to hold on to. You may call me


    Songbyrd. A dashing young man at your service.


    rissa: So, you’re an old fart or a neckbeard. Got it.


    Songbyrd: So what if I’m an old fart? I know how to make thedies feel special.


    rissa: You’re disgusting! Just you wait! I’ll have you unmasked soon enough!


    Songbyrd: Deal. We’ll get married when you do unmask me.


    rissa: F*ck off!


    With that, Songbyrd disappeared again.


    However, she soon noticed that her mood had improved after the tussle she had with Songbyrd.


    Just then, there was a knock on the door.


    rissa wiped away her tears and walked over to open the door.


    A housekeeper stood there. “Ms. Watson? Mr. Watson would like to see you.”


    “Got it,” replied rissa.


    The housekeeper then left.
