The Social Butterfly Wants to Steal My Boyfriend
Chapter 3

At the dinner table, I formally proposed that I wanted to return to the company.
Lucas and the other two were all caught off guard.
Lucas asked, "What's the sudden rush to go back to the company? Staying at home isn't good enough?"
Lucas' mother also got anxious and said, "That's right, why go back to the company? Lucas can handle it.
"And who will take care of Ella with me if you go back to the company?"
I found it funny.
I looked at Lucas's mother and said, "Did I say I was going to take care of her? Didn't you say that you were here to take care of her?
"I provide for her needs in terms of food, clothing, housing. And now I have to take care of her? Do you really think I'm some kind of sucker?"
Lucas looked at me angrily. "But now Ella is pregnant, and you let her stay here. Now you're going to work and don't care about her?"
I gave him a sideways glance. "I let Ella stay here because I felt sorry for her, not because I wanted to take care of her. Did I make her pregnant? She could have chosen to move out. You're so worried about no one taking care of her, why don't you stay here and take care of her?
"Or, is it that the baby in her belly has something to do with you?"
Hearing my words, their faces changed.
"What are you talking about?"
Lucas yelled at me.
Ella, on the other hand, looked pale and said pitifully, "Olivia, even though I'm living in your house and spending your money now, you don't have to say something like this to me. Lucas and I are innocent and you're accusing us of something like this."
I looked at them amused. "I was just joking. Why are you getting so nervous?
"Is it really what I said?"
Lucas and Ella realized they were being too tense, and they looked sullen and didn't say anything.
Watching them all calm down, I formally announced, "Starting tomorrow, I will be going back to work at my own company.
"I don't need anyone else's permission."
The last meal ended in an unpleasant manner.
After taking a shower in my room, Lucas still hadn't returned.
I opened the listening device installed in Ella's room.
Sure enough, I heard Lucas's voice.
Lucas's voice was so gentle that I had never heard it before.
Ella asked Lucas if I had already known about their affair.
Lucas comforted her and said, "Olivia only takes care of her skin and flowers and stays at home all day. How could she possibly know about these things? You can just relax and take care of the baby."
Ella then asked, "Now that Olivia is going back to work, what if she takes away your power of decision-making?"
Lucas scoffed and said, "Ever since she got pregnant before, she hasn't been involved in the company's affairs. After the miscarriage, she has no interest in it anymore.
"Fortunately, I paid off the masseur beforehand, and had him use some means to induce an abortion in Olivia.
"Now that she doesn't have a child, I will have a way to transfer all of her property to the name of our child."
I felt a chill run down my spine.
It turned out that the child I had always felt guilty about, was not killed by me.

In the second year of my marriage with Lucas, I became pregnant.
I had been looking forward to the arrival of this baby.
Contrary to my excitement, Lucas didn't seem very happy at first.
But after he talked to his mom on the phone, Lucas told me to rest at home and take care of the baby, saying he would take care of the company's affairs.
At the time, I was overwhelmed with the joy of becoming a mother and didn't think much about it, agreeing to stay at home and rest to take care of the baby.
My pregnancy symptoms were severe, and I started cramping in the third month, even after taking calcium supplements.
After hearing about this, Lucas's mom introduced a massage therapist.
She said that after the massage, the frequency of cramping would be less.
After the massage, the frequency of cramping did decrease at first, and I started to trust the therapist.
But after a massage, I started feeling abdominal pain, and by the time I realized there was a problem and went to the hospital, it was too late.
Lucas's mom blamed me for being careless and causing the miscarriage, which deprived her of her grandson.
Lucas kept comforting me, but I could sense his impatience.
After the miscarriage, my body weakened, and the doctor said it would be harder for me to get pregnant in the future.
Under repeated accusations from Lucas and his mom, I really thought that the miscarriage was my fault.
However, I didn't expect that they had bribed the massage therapist.
I called my childhood friend who was majoring in medicine. She said that some parts cannot be massaged during pregnancy.
The abdomen was included.
I still remembered that the masseur had pressed on my abdomen.
I tried to stop him, but the masseur said it was no problem.
How could a masseur not know which parts cannot be massaged?
In addition to the company, they also took away my child's life.
I was so angry that I trembled all over, wishing to rush in right now and make them pay the price.
But I had to continue to bear with it.
I backed up the recording I just heard and kept it as evidence for the future.
I wanted them to see with their own eyes how they became penniless.
