That night, Seth finished dinner and went to his study like clockwork.
Tasha went back to her room and waited.
Soon enough, she heard footsteps outside the door, which meant that Seth had gone back to his room to take a shower.
When Tasha passed by the stairway, she saw Julia watching TV downstairs.
This was it—this was the opportunity she had been waiting for! Tasha cautiously tiptoed into the study.
She went straight to Seth’s laptop and plugged in the flash drive Sebastian gave her.
The screen of the computer blinked for a few seconds.
It seemed that the system had been cracked by the program on the flash drive.
Soon, a progress bar popped up on the screen.
Tasha gnawed at her lower lip anxiously.
Every second of waiting was torture.
A few minutes later, she heard Julia’s voice from outside the study.
“Seth, she’s inside.
I saw her go in!” All the color drained from her face.
She moved fast and yanked the flash drive out of the laptop.
She looked around the study in a panic, but there was no place to hide.
The sound of footsteps approaching made Tasha’s heart race.
At her wit’s end, Tasha squatted down and pretended to be looking for something in the drawer.
At this moment, the doorknob turned.
The door swung open and Seth and Julia strode in.
Seeing Tasha stand up in a hurry, Julia looked at Seth complacently and waited for his reaction.
Narrowing his insidious eyes, Seth’s gaze darted between the laptop and Tasha.
Cold sweat broke out on Tasha’s forehead, but she managed to maintain a calm expression as she secretly slipped the flash drive into her trouser pocket.
Quarrel “I teld you! I saw her sneaking into your study just now and I was sure that she was up to no good.
Miss Javis, what the hell are you doing here?” Julia felt that she had caught Tasha red- handed, which delighted her.
Seth walked towards Tasha slowly and then rested his hand on the desk.
“What ware you doing?” he asked coldly.
Julia quickly cut in smugly, “She’s probably trying to set you up! A few days ago, I saw her sneaking around outside the study.
At first, I thought that she was going to try to seduce you, but when I thought about it further, I realized that she had to be up to something.” Tasha’s heart was banging against her chest, but she decided to play along.
“Julia’s right.
I wanted to dig some dirt on you.” She glanced at Julia and snorted, “You thought I wanted to seduce Seth? I’m sorry.
I never take back any men I’ve broken up with.” Seth’s eyes darkened.
“What do you want, Tasha?” Tasha gritted her teeth and acted like she couldn’t bear it anymore.
She pointed at Julia and shouted, “You have the nerve to ask me that? Seth, you’ve crossed the line.
This bitch has been flaunting her status as your mistress every day since you brought her here! I used to think that the money was enough, but now, I’ve realized it’s far from enough! I’ve endured so much suffering, so I deserve more!” ) Hearing this, Julia was furious.
She rolled up her sleeves and stomped towards Tasha.
“What did you just say? Didn’t I tell you to move out a long time ago? You refused to go and now you’re saying you can’t stand it anymore?
Please! Seth hasn’t had feelings for you for so long! Why the fuck are you still living here? And how dare you ask for more?” “Oh, please, Miss Walker.
You provoked me first.
Your family might be noble and wealthy, but they raised such an immoral child! Don’t you think it’s shameful at all to be someone’s mistress?
You should feel embarrassed about it instead of flaunting it! You’re practically just begging to be humiliated!” Tasha rarely ever swore, but she was an expert when it came to sarcasm.
Although she didn’t raise her voice just now, her words were as sharp as daggers.
“Ah! You fucking bitch! How dare you say that about me!” Julia was so angry that she cursed at Tasha like a sailor.
“Seth had long wanted to divorce you! The only reason why he didn’t is because you got pregnant!
You should even thank him for allowing you to stay here! Plus, he already agreed to give you a lot of money after the divorce!
And you have the audacity to ask for more?”
Julia’s shrill screaming were like nails on a chalkboard to Seth’s ears.
It suddenly occurred to him that her high-pitched voice was similar to that of a bird’s squawk he had heard somewhere before.
“Enough, both of you! Stop fighting!” Seeing that Julia was about to hit Tasha, he stopped her with a warning look.
Tasha was pregnant with his child.
He wouldn’t allow anyone to hurt her.
Julia was frightened by Seth‘s glare and didn‘t dare to make a scene anymore.
Biting her lower lip, she tugged Seth‘s shirt and said piteously, “Don‘t get mad at me.Get mad at her.She‘s the one who provoked me first.”
Seth looked at Julia quietly.He was well aware that Julia had been bullying Tasha ever since she moved in.It was only normal that Tasha couldn‘t stand it anymore.
But Seth needed the support of the Walker family.
Even if Julia was an annoying little bitch, he couldn‘t afford to do anything to her right now.
“I’m not mad at you.Why would you waste your time on such a shallow and stupid woman?”
Seth softened his tone to comfort the aggrieved Julia.
Julia instantly cheered up, shooting Tasha a smug smile.
Tasha forced a smile but said nothing.She knew that this was probably what he really thought of her.
They had been married for so many years but Seth had never given her the light of day.
Tasha used to think that it was because of his pride.It was true that she wasn‘t as excellent as him.
Now, Tasha realized that Seth looked down not just upon her, but everyone.
Indeed, Seth had never thought highly of his wife.
In his eyes, she was an incompetent and stupid woman who only cared about money.
For the sake of money, she was willing to abandon her own child.
But on second thought, that made things easier for Seth.
A greedy woman like Tasha was simple and easy to control.
At least, she didn‘t pose a threat to him.
Seth glanced at the drawer that was opened by Tasha just now.
Inside lay several pieces of gold jewelry that had been gifted to him.
Seth sneered and glanced at the laptop on the table.
It looked untouched, so he didn‘t think too much about it “Come with me,”
Seth said to Tasha coldly.
Tasha clenched her fists to calm herself down and followed him to the corridor.
“How much more do you want?” Seth asked abruptly.

He didn‘t even bother to beat around the bush.
“You opened two restaurants in Sugden after we got married, right? I want them both.” Tasha answered without missing a beat.
Truth be told, she wasn‘t interested in Seth‘s restaurants at all.She had never even been to either of them.It was just an excuse she came up with on the fly.
“You‘re insatiably greedy, aren‘t you? Those restaurants have always done well.How come I never knew you ere so obsessed with money before?”
Seth sneered in disdain.
“Fine.I‘ll give you the two restaurants, but from now on, you should behave yourself.I‘ve given you a lot of money.That‘s it.If I find out you tried to go through my things again, I won‘t be as nice.”
Knowing that this was his last and final warning, Tasha nodded in satisfaction.
“Thank you, Mr.Klein.Don‘t worry.I promise I won‘t do it again.And I know that what I‘ve asked for is just a drop in the bucket for you.”
Seth rolled his eyes and then left with Julia.
The very next day, Seth moved out of the Klein family home with Julia.
Just as they were leaving the villa, she yelled, “You little bitch! You greedy, fucking slutty bitch! You‘re already getting a divorce yet you still blackmail Seth for money!”
“Shut up.”
Seth frowned in disgust.He really couldn‘t take Julia‘s shrill voice.
Patrick had said that he was going to come back home recently, so it wasn‘t decent for Julia to continue to live here.
