Chapter 886 How Much Sue Cost
"Howe you..." Sue seemed to have been startled as Anthony asked her about her pregnancy.
She had thought that she had covered it well and no one woulde to know that she was pregnant.
However, then she remembered that Peggy took her pregnancy as her trump card. How could she not
y it?
She smiled bitterly and said to Anthony, "She seemed to have told you about that."
"Yes." Anthony nodded his head in affirmation.
Sue sneered and continued, "So? How much does she want this time?"
"Two hundred millions," Anthony replied in a casual tone.
"Two hundred millions!" Sue uttered each word slowly with amazement in her voice. She let out a bitter
smile and said, "I''m worth a lot in her mind."
Sue pretended to be unmoved by the fact but deep inside she felt defeated as Peggy finally found a
way to involve Anthony into this muck that she had so ardently tried to avoid. Even Anthony could
sense that her heart was in pain.
He really wanted to reach out and take her in his arms tofort her, but he stopped himself.
After a moment of silence, he looked at Sue with creased eyebrows and asked, "Why didn''t you tell me
about it?"
"Tell you?" Sue looked back at Anthony with a sterner frown. Sue sneered and said, "Is there any
necessary to tell you? Can you put it back for me?"
Anthony frowned tightly and continued inquiring her, "Don''t you really want the child so badly?"
"How about you?" Sue raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you want this child?"
"Of course I do." Anthony spoke earnestly. "Sue, I admit that I was in love with Sheryl when I was with
you. I even felt that I was staying with you just to vent my feelings."
"Cut it now! Will you stop it?" Repetition of the same words tired Sue. She turned her face away.
She believed in each and every word that Anthony spoke. But she was resolute to stay away from him
lest Peggy take advantage of their rtionship. She had no other way than to refuse him over and over
again.
"Sue, please let me finish my words first." Anthony held Sue. She turned her face downwards to avoid
eye contact with him.
He looked at Sue earnestly and continued, "I have been feeling guilty for you and trying to make up for
you since yesterday. Then your mother broke the news of your pregnancy to me. Trust me, I never
imagined I would be so happy on having a child. I felt as if I was on the ninth cloud."
Anthony looked at Sue, added, "I admit, I always thought that I was in love with Sheryl. But after you
refused my offer topensate, I felt that it was not Sheryl. In fact it was you. Much before I could
assess my love for you had long surpassed Sheryl''s. Rather, it was you whom I loved. I did not realize
this when you were there with me. Trust me Sue. Just for once."
Anthony held her hand and looked at her affectionately as he said, "I hade to see you yesterday
only to tell this to you. I want you to know that I will be a good husband and a good father. Sue, let''s
raise the child together. Please give me a chance, Sue. Just for once."
Sue was truly moved by Anthony''s words. If she had heard this prior to her pregnancy, she would have
been convinced, She would perhaps be so excited that she would hug him and tell him that she was
willing to be with him.
But after Anthonying to know about her pregnancy, his confession for his love towards Sue,
sounded like more of apensation perhaps because he felt that the child was his responsibility.
She sneered and shook off his hand, "What''s that supposed to mean? Confession of your love to me?"
"Yes, Sue, I''m confessing my love to you." Anthony remained calm. He could understand her
grievances towards him. He had made up his mind to get her back with him no matter what. "Sue,
please forgive me for telling this to you sote, but I believe it''s not toote yet. Let''s start everything all
over again," Anthony said.
"No." Sue spoke in a stern voice. "Anthony, I know you are saying all this because you feel responsible
for the baby. It''s only because I''m pregnant with your child. You don''t love me. And I have told you long
back that I don''t need any kind ofpensation from you."
Sue smiled bitterly and continued, "It doesn''t matter, Anthony. I have epted the fact that you don''t
love me long ago. You don''t need tofort me by saying all this. I don''t hold you responsible for
anything."
"No, I am notforting you. I''m seriously." Anthony held Sue''s hands tightly and said, "Sue, I''m quite
sure that I''m in love with you right now, not Sheryl."
"Anthony, just stop repeating this in front of me." Sue interrupted Anthony''s words impatiently. "I don''t
want to hear the words you just said. Please don''t say it any more."
Sue then stroked her stomach. A soft gentleness flickered on her face. Immediately, she turned to
Anthony coldly and said, "The child is mine. Only mine. I will give birth to him and raise him up. He has
nothing to do with you. No matter what happens, I will bear the consequences if any. Please don''t be
puzzled by this. At the same time I will not be bothered with whom you choose to get married."
Sue looked at Anthony coldly and said, "Please excuse me for now. I''ll have to take my leave now."
Anthony wanted to stop her but failed to counter her cold and stern behavior. He watched her receding
figure and she walked steadily towards the living room.
Sue walked into the living room and found Laura waiting for her. As soon as she entered, Laura asked
hurriedly, "How was it? Did you speak with each other? Have you cleared the misunderstanding

amongst yourself?"
"There''s no misunderstanding between us, Aunt Laura." Sue spoke in a cold and nonchnt voice,
"The rtionship between me and Anthony has endedpletely. Auntie, I request you not toe to
my apartment like this any more."
"What?" Laura''s eyes literally popped out as she asked. "What were you talking about, Sue?" Laura
waspletely taken aback by Sue''s words.
She stared at Sue amazed. Laura just could not match her earlier behavior with her when she was
extra polite with this harsh word that she had just uttered. Sue maintained a stern look on her face and
refused to even look at Laura. Laura was rendered speechless. After a moment of silence, Sue looked
straight at Laura and said, "I have just told you that it''s all over between me and Anthony. Please don''t
bother me any more. Do I make myself clear?"
"You... Fine." Laura recovered from the state of shock and was furious for being insulted like this. She
picked up her purse and stood up. She spoke in an enraged voice, "I must be crazying here to get
humiliated like this. Don''t worry. From now on, I will not bother you anymore." Sue stood with her arms
crossed over one another and her face turned away as if Laura''s words had the least impact on her.
Laura was about to storm out the apartment when Peggy rushed out and stopped her. She held Laura''s
hand and said, "What happened, Dear? We were supposed to have a family dinner together, tonight.
Please tell me what happened?"
"Don''t call me "dear" please." Laura sneered and said, "I''m afraid that I I can''t afford it."
"What the hell is going on?" Peggy stared once at Laura and then at Sue. She frowned and asked,
"Somebody gotta tell me. What''s wrong?"
"Just ask your decent daughter." Laura curved her lips and spoke in a sarcastic manner eyeing Sue
from the corner of her eyes.
Peggy realized Sue must have told something to Laura. She got frustrated that whatever attempts she
made to extort money, Sue was ruining all her ns one after the other. Peggy turned to Sue with
gloomy face and shouted, "What the hell did you do this time?"
"Nothing." Yet another indifferent reply came out of Sue''s mouth. "I was just asking her not toe
here again. Since I and her son have broken up, there is no need for her toe here anymore," she
added.
"Did you hear that?" Laura snapped at Peggy as soon as Sue finished her words. "Just look at her
audacity. What kind of an upbringing she has that she doesn''t know how to talk with elders?"
Laura shook Peggy''s hands off and said with a sarcastic smile, "I don''t think there is any need to have
a dinner together. Since we can''t be inws, what is the point of staying here? I''d rather leave and save
myself from being cold-shouldered."
"Dear, please don''t go," Peggy pleaded. She looked at Laura with pleading eyes and requested to
forgive her daughter''s misdoings. Peggy realized that the top priority right now was to make Laura stay.
Sheould consider teaching Sue a lessonter on.
She held Laura''s hand and said, "Please have a seat. We can sit down and talk about it."
"After this, there''s nothing to talk about anymore. Didn''t you hear what she said before?" Laura sneered
and said, "I will just take my leave now."
Watching Laura leaving, Peggy made herst and final attempt to stop her. She screamed out loud
enough for Laura to hear, "She is pregnant."
