Chapter 351
Of course, Julia noticed smiled complacently and said, “Do you feel uncomfortable living here, Miss Javis? We young people need to stay active.If you feel that I‘m too loud, why don’t you just move out?” Julia spoke half–heartedly.
If Tasha moved out, it would knock some joy out of her. She enjoyed humiliating and bullying Tasha at home every day.
If this had taken place in the past, Tasha wouldn’t have tolerated such bullshit.
But now, she simply looked at Julia with an indifferent attitude, She saw Julia as a clown–a hateful, ridiculous, and pathetic clown.
One day, when Julia was no longer of use to Seth, he would show her his true colors. It‘d be too late for Julia by then.
“It‘s fine by me. There‘s no one else at home, so it‘s nice to bring a little life into this house.” Tasha smiled at Julia, unfazed.
“Well, as long as you don’t mind.” Julia wanted to see how long Tasha would be able to put up with her shenanigans.
Things were getting more and more interesting.
In order to keep Julia from leaving, Tasha talked to her every day while secretly keeping an eye on Seth Ever since Julia had moved into the Klein family‘s house, Seth had come home every day to have dinner with her, which meant that now he was spending a lot more time at home. Tasha couldn’t help but think about their past, when they still lived in Sugden.
After getting married, Seth always said that he was very busy and stayed at the office 90% of the time. He only ever came home when he wanted to have sex.
Tasha felt it ironic.
This was the first time that she and her husband had lived under the same roof for so long, but it was only because he had brought his mistress home.
What a good actor! If Tasha hadn’t already known that he was a heartless man, she really would‘ve thought that Julia was his true love.
After dinner, Seth usually went to the study to deal with the rest of his work.
“Please excuse me.I have some work to finish in the study.” Seth stood up and stroked Julia‘s hair gently.
Then, he went upstairs with his laptop bag. He didn’t even cast a glance at Tasha the whole time.
The old Tasha would have felt absolutely crestfallen.
The new Tasha however, didn’t even give a damn.
What she did give a damn about was how to get her hands on evidence of Seth‘s crimes. She noticed that the laptop that Seth brought back home every day was the same one, and he never let anyone get close to it, not even his assistant.
He always carried it himself.
Not wanting to arouse suspicion, Tasha tore her gaze away from the laptop bag in Seth‘s hand.
There had to be something important in his laptop–something so important that he didn’t let anyone else touch it.
The problem was, how was she going to get it? Noticing that Tasha had been staring at Seth‘s back, Julia sneered smugly.
“No matter what you do, Seth will never look at you.He loves me, not you. He even said it in bed last night.” What a silly, naive girl! She had no idea what was coming to her.
Tasha was really tempted to tell her that Seth was a psychopath who loved no one but himself.
However, seeing the triumphant smile on Julia‘s face, Tasha couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
She took a piece of tissue to wipe her mouth and murmured a half–hearted apology, “I‘m sorry.”
The following morning, Tasha sneaked out to see Sebastian in secret.
Tasha, Natalie, and Sebastian met up at a cafe.
“I think Seth is hiding something in his laptop.” Tasha went straight to telling Sebastian her theory.
“Do you know how to hack a computer? I‘ve been a housewife for so long and don’t know anything about tech. One time, I saw Seth type in two passwords to unlock his laptop. I wouldn’t dare to try unlocking his laptop without professional help!” Tasha said with a crooked smile She had been married to Seth for several years now.
It took a lot of courage for her to admit to outsiders that she knew nothing about her husband.
“Piece of cake.” After pondering for a while, Sebastian said, “I‘ll have someone send you a flash drive in a few days.As long as you‘re able to plug it into his laptop, virus in the flash drive will automatically crack the firewalls and copy all the data in the laptop.But, depending on how much data is in his laptop, it might take a long time, so you have to find the right opportunity to do this.”
“Oh, my God! Thank you.” Tasha bobbed her head up and down enthusiastically.
Then, she lowered her head and looked at the delicate peach–shaped cake in front of her quietly.
“How have you been lately? I heard that Julia moved into the Klein family‘s house.Didn’t anyone in the Klein family object?”
Seeing that Tasha looked depressed, Natalie was reminded of the gossip on the news this morning.
The paparazzi in Seacisco had to thank Seth for all the material he was feeding them.
They even had a column about his affair with Julia now.
Tasha let out a long sigh and scooped up a forkful of cake.
With a lump in her throat, she explained, “There‘s no one living in the Klein family‘s house now except us.Nora‘s in a private hospital and Patrick practically lives in the office because of everything that has happened. Seth‘s the actual master of the house now.” Natalie fell silent.
She had no idea how to console Tasha.
Perhaps it was because Tasha was a mother now that Natalie felt that Tasha was a lot stronger than she was at school.
When they were still in school, Natalie had held a good impression of Tasha.
The latter was a quiet, soft woman. She didn’t put on any airs as a rich lady at all.
“Be careful. If Seth finds out that you‘re betraying him, he won’t let you go unpunished.” Worry was written all over Natalie‘s face.
She reached out to pat Tasha‘s hand gently. She sympathized with Tasha, and she couldn’t help but want to look out for her.
Tasha smiled faintly. She would stay cautious and try her best, and then leave the rest to fate.
Two days later, Tasha received a flash drive from Sebastian.
She kept it hidden and paid close attention to Seth whenever he was at home, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
*******
It was a cloudy day and dewy raindrops still littered the window pane after the torrential rain in a hotel room somewhere in Europe, Laney was pacing back and forth inside the bathroom anxiously. She kept looking at the pregnancy test stick on the washstand. Her throat seemed to be blocked by cotton and she could not breathe. She couldn’t have been pregnant.
After she had sex with Garrett that one time, she took emergency contraception the following day.
But her period hadn’t come yet.
Laney‘s menstruation was always punctual, so she immediately knew that something was wrong.
At first, she had simply chalked it up to stress.
However, when she ordered a medium rare steak one day, she felt like vomiting at the sight of blood oozing out of the steak.
Suspecting that she was pregnant, she immediately bought a pregnancy test stick and rushed back to the hotel.
The alarm clock on her phone interrupted her train of thoughts.
Five minutes had passed.
Laney hurried to pick up the pregnancy test stick.
Two lines gradually appeared in the originally colorless grid.
Staring at this terrible mark, Laney felt as though her soul was leaving her body.
