CHAPTER 226: THE PERSON WHO HURTS HER COULD NOT BE FORGIVEN

Margaret went downstairs and squeezed grape juice for Hilla. She also squeezed a cup of juice and added ice for herself.

The juice was sweet and sour, cool and refreshing. It tasted great.

"Why there is a wildflower? Oh, my god! There’s a bug!" Margaret shouted.

Margaret saw a little grey caterpillar lying on the leaf. She immediately jumped up.

She threw the flower on the ground and stomped on it.

"No ..." Hilla said.

Hilla wanted to stop her, but it was late. The flower that was from Bruce had turned into pieces.

Margaret looked at the flowers that had been trampled by her and heaved a sigh of relief. She turned to Hilla and reminded, "How can you keep this in your room? What if you are infected with bacteria? My nephew is only a month old. You must cherish him!"

Hilla felt that after she got pregnant, she was not as excited and happy as she thought. She just thought it unreal at the beginning.

She was happy. But later she was separated from Bruce, and there was nothing delightful to her.

"Alright, I understand," Hilla said.

"It’s true. Where did you get this flower? It’s so ugly," Margaret complained.

She collected the flowers and threw the flowers and bugs into the trash can. She turned to Hilla and said, "You have poor taste."

Hilla thought, You have poor taste, so do your whole family members. It was your brother who stole this flower downstairs.

"But if you like flowers, I’ll ask my brother to buy a beautiful bouquet for you," Margaret said.

Hilla thought, "Those were sent by your brother."

"It’s time for dinner!" Hilla reminded.

Margaret said, "Yes, do you want me to take it upstairs or you will go downstairs?"

Fortunately, Orlenna and Margaret did not stop Hilla from getting out of bed.

Otherwise, she would be trapped in bed.

"I will go downstairs," Hilla said. She would lose her appetite if she ate upstairs.

They went downstairs. Hilla found that Bruce was already sitting at the dining table.

She was a little happy and wanted to sit beside Bruce.

Margaret pulled her to sit opposite Bruce.

"Hilla, let’s sit together. I can take care of you," Margaret said.

Hilla thought, "No need!"

"I can take care of myself," Hilla said.

Orlenna also sat aside and said to Margaret, "Leave her alone, she does not need your help."

The pregnant woman was picky in food. Orlenna was afraid that Hilla would not be able to eat well, so she gathered all the chefs here. The meals were sumptuous, and Hilla felt guilty about it.

After all, wasting was shameful! Hilla didn’t want to waste food.

"There is a lot of food I like to eat," Margaret said.

Margaret, on the other hand, was happy to see the delicious food, and immediately began eating.

Orlenna glanced at her again and was a little angry. She said, "Others raise their daughters. Am I raising a pig?"

Margaret said, "Mom, you’re hurting the pig’s heart."

On the other side, Bruce was eating the food. His face was expressionless, and he did not give Hilla any hints. Hilla had to lower her head and eat the food.

However, after just two bites, she felt something was wrong under the table.

Then Hilla figured out and was stunned. She suddenly raised her head and stared at Bruce.

Hilla thought, "Bad man, where did you put your hands?"

Bruce did not seem to notice her gaze at all. He picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her bowl. He said calmly, "You need to eat more food. It’s good for the fetus."

Orlenna came back to her senses and quickly said to Hilla, "Bruce is right. You should eat more. You can eat whatever you like. Don’t feel embarrassed. It’s normal for you to have some strange habits when you’re pregnant."

Hilla pursed her lips. She nodded and continued to eat the food in her bowl. But she didn’t eat the braised pork.

She could feel the strange touch on her leg under the table. Hilla secretly glanced at Bruce and quickly lowered her head.

The man seemed to know her shyness and didn’t stop at all. At first, he only rubbed against her leg. Later, his foot sneaked into her skirt.

Hilla immediately put down her chopsticks and glared at Bruce.

She thought, "Will this guy die if he doesn’t coquette?"

Bruce remained calm, and revealed a meaningful smile, "Are you full?"

Hilla stared at him for a long time before she came to a conclusion. She thought, "This man is abnormal!"

"You’re full? Hilla, you don’t have a good appetite. Are these dishes not to your taste?" Orlenna asked.

Orlenna was worried. She thought, "How could my grandson be nutritious if she ate less? How could he grow into a handsome young man?"

Hilla shook her head, "These are all my favorite food, but I’m not hungry now. Maybe I ate too much in the afternoon."

It was because Bruce harassed her. Although she missed him, he was too coquettish by touching her with his foot under the table.

Hilla felt uncomfortable and nervous since Margaret and Orlenna were also there.

Rather than being afraid of being discovered, she better not sit here.

Orlenna nodded, "I’ll get someone to heat the food. You could eat it when you’re hungry."

The pregnant people were picky about food, so Orlenna understood her.

"Mother, I’m going back to the room," Hilla said.

Hilla stood up and glanced at Bruce again.

Margaret held the bowl and looked at them, and then she moved closer to Bruce and said, "Bruce, what did you do to Hilla?"

Bruce and Hilla had eye contact just now, and Margaret had seen it.

Bruce looked at Margaret with a trace of coldness in his eyes. He calmly said, "You have been living great recently. The bag you took this afternoon is the latest fashion of this month, right? It’s beautiful."

As soon as Bruce spoke, Orlenna immediately turned to Margaret and said coldly, "You just bought another bag? I have told you many times that you can only buy two bags per year. You ignored my words?"

"Mom, don’t listen to his nonsense. That’s Hilla’s bag. I just carried it because it looked good," Margaret said.

Bruce nodded, "So it’s Hilla’s. Don’t forget to return it to her."

Margaret was angry at him.

Orlenna was confused and said, "Isn’t Hilla pregnant? Does she need bags?"

"This was bought before she got pregnant, but it just arrives today. Hilla was busy with the works at the studio and often went out to meet clients. How could she not take a decent bag?" Margaret said.

Margaret praised herself for her intelligence. She was fearless in the face of danger.

She thought that she was becoming more brilliant.

Orlenna did not say anything. Margaret’s explanation was reasonable. Orlenna said, "Remember to return it to Hilla."

Bruce said, "I don’t think my wife likes the style of this bag."

Margaret thought, "Bruce, I’m going to kill you, and we are no longer brother and sister!"

...

Margaret went back to the room after dinner. She saw Hilla coming out of the bathroom with a red face. She had just taken a shower and looked very beautiful.

Margaret chuckled and walked in a circle around Hilla, "No wonder my brother loves you so much. Even a woman like me wants to hug and sleep with you."

Hilla quickly grabbed the bathrobe on her body and get back to the bed in fear.

"You had changed after being in Far City for a year," Hilla said.

"I’m becoming more and more beautiful, right?" Margaret asked.

"No, more cheeky!" Hilla said.

Hilla rolled her eyes at Margaret. In the past, Margaret wouldn’t joke with her like this. Today, she must have been provoked by Bruce.

Margaret pursed her lips. She didn’t care about being looked down upon by Hilla.

She followed Hilla to the bed. She hugged Hilla’s arm and approached her like a cat.

"I’m sleeping with Bruce’s wife every night. When I think about it, I’m very happy!" Margaret said.

Looking at her self-intoxicated expression, Hilla frowned and asked, "Did your brother offend you?

"Otherwise, how would you dare to say such words? You are obedient to his bank cards."

Margaret was angry when she thought about what Bruce did during the dinner. She was scolded by Orlenna because of Bruce’s words.

Fortunately, Bruce’s wife and son were both in her hands. If she was not happy now, Bruce would not be able to see her wife and child in the future.

"He not only offended me, but he is also destroying me," Margaret said.

Margaret gnashed her teeth as she spoke. Orlenna almost found out that she had embezzled the pocket money for the child.

If Bruce didn’t mention it, Orlenna wouldn’t have found out that Margaret had tampered with the account of 800 thousand dollars. This man was too hateful. Fortunately, she wouldn’t have to rely on him for her living expenses in the future.

She turned to Hilla, then looked at her stomach and smiled leisurely. She thought, "As long as Hilla gives birth to a baby, I will have more pocket money in the future."

Hilla felt a little scared after being stared at by Margaret, and she shivered in fear.

She was aware of how terrifying Margaret was.

While they were thinking, Hilla’s cell phone rang. Hilla was happy when she saw the video call from Halle.

"It’s Halle!" Hilla said.

"I know it is Halle," Margaret said.

Margaret glanced at Hilla and felt that she was not clever recently. Margaret thought that the pregnant women were all not clever.

Hilla picked up the phone happily. Halle was also very happy after knowing that she was pregnant, but there were too many things to do in the studio. Halle didn’t have a chance to talk with Hilla.

"Halle!" Hilla said.

"Hi Halle," Margaret said.

Hilla had just picked up the call. Before she could speak, Margaret suddenly came to the phone, laughing like a flower.

Halle was also very happy to see Margaret, "You are back to River City? How long will you stay in River City?"

"Yes. Hilla is pregnant. I have to take care of her and my unborn nephew, so I won’t leave." Margaret said.

Margaret said so seriously as if Hilla was pregnant and she was the babysitter, who was ready to sacrifice herself for Hilla.

Halle laughed when hearing Margaret’s words.

"I’m relieved to have Margaret by your side," Halle said.

Halle looked at Hilla and said worriedly, "I checked online about the design competition held by River City recently. It was held in the name of the Richards Group. It seems the Hutt Group also works with them."

Halle was very worried about the relationship between Hilla and Queeney. What worried her more was that the Richards Group must have put in a lot of effort to organize such a big design competition this time, and the people invited were all well-known.

Halle also felt a little flustered for no reason. Queeney was holding the design paintings that had been created by the Holt family for the past hundred years. Several generations of the Holt family made great efforts to create the design paintings.

Although it was horrible that Queeney threatened Hilla, she indeed held the design paintings of the Holt family in her hands.

"Halle, what are you worried about?" Hilla said softly.

Hilla frowned with worry.

Hilla thought that Halle must be uneasy, otherwise, she would not deliberately mention it to Hilla.

Halle pursued her lips and said, "I heard that many authorities will come this time.

The Richards Group does not involve in clothing and designing, but the reward for the first place this time, in addition to the generous bonus, there is also the possibility of signing a contract with a top design company. And there is also a special reward."

Halle pursued her lips and didn’t say anything about the special reward. Hilla seemed to have figured out something and suddenly said, "It’s the design paintings of the Holt family!"

They didn’t expect that Queeney took the design paintings to be a special reward. It was the efforts of the Holt family over hundreds of years.

Halle nodded. She was very happy to know that Hilla was pregnant, and hoped that Hilla would be happy and safe during this period.

However, she didn’t expect that Queeney, who couldn’t threaten Hilla, wanted to destroy the design paintings that were made by the efforts of the Holt family over hundreds of years.

As soon as the design paintings were sent as the prize for the competition, the efforts of the Holt Family for several generations would be others and help them on their design career.

"What kind of competition is this? Isn’t this too much? How can they take the thing of the Holt family as the prize?" Margaret said.

Although Margaret didn’t know the details and didn’t know how important the design paintings Hilla mentioned were, she could feel that Hilla was disappointed.

If Hilla was in a bad mood, it would affect her nephew in Hilla’s belly. If her little nephew suffered, even the Richards Group could not afford it.

Margaret snorted and her face darkened.

The person who hurt her nephew was hurting her bank card. They could not be forgiven!

"Halle, I want to participate in this competition," Hilla said.

Hilla was not interested in the design competition, and she was not prepared for it.

Hilla only focused on designing, and she did not care about fame and wealth, although fame could sometimes let more people know about the clothes she designed.

"You want to participate in the competition?" Halle asked.

Halle was hesitant. She was also very conflicted, but after knowing that Hilla was pregnant, she did not want Hilla to have too much burden.

"Yes, I will participate!" Hilla nodded.

Margaret quickly waved her hand, "No! The doctor said that you need to have more rest. Mom will not agree if she knows."

"But the design paintings belong to the Holt family. I can’t let her give it away so

casually." Hilla said.

She could ignore Queeney’s threat, but it was different this time. She could obtain the design paintings fair and square. She did not believe that Queeney would go back on her words and play tricks in front of so many people.

Margaret, who was on the side, held her forehead when she saw Hilla’s serious expression. She thought, "Oh, my god! My nephew will be dangerous."

Margaret thought that she must do something!

Margaret grabbed Hilla’s hand and said, "I think you are right, but you are pregnant. How about I participate in the competition for you?"

Hilla frowned as she looked at Margaret, who showed a heroic spirit. Hilla curled her lips.

If Margaret participated in the competition, they would not be able to take the design paintings back.
