Chapter 79 Becoming Clingy
Hear Leo's guarantee, Ernest believed Theresa would become the brand ambassador.
After the meeting, he ordered people to prepare for the celebration banquet. As soon as the contract was signed, he would hype the cooperation with Siumix up. It would make up for the loss of Icehive Entertainment and help Theresa become more popular. It was a great opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.
As for Jocelyn, it was not time to ban her now because Theresa had not won Bomia Award for the best actress. He would continue to use Jocelyn to pave the way for her.
Ernest called Jocelyn and ordered, "Jocelyn, Theresa will leave the hospital the day after tomorrow. You will go to pick her up and apologize to her in public. We will record a video. Get prepared."
"Mr. Cloutier, why did you ask me to go to the hospital to pick her up?" Jocelyn asked in dissatisfaction.
"Do you still need a reason? Now, the company is giving you a chance to whitewash yourself and save your public image. This is a great opportunity to build up a good public persona. You should be grateful."
Hearing a hint of warning in his tone, Jocelyn sneered on the phone, "You're trying to help Theresa establish a good public persona instead of me! How long do you want to use me? I made a statement for her because you threatened me with Katie. She is no longer under your control now. Do you think I will still listen to you?"
Ernest had long guessed she would say so, but he knew how to deal with her. So, he calmly said, "You don't have to listen to me. But don't you want to know where the child you gave away is now?"Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"What?"
When Jocelyn heard him suddenly mention her child, her heart skipped a beat. Then, she said, "What do you mean? Tell me!"
"You gave birth to three children five years ago and gave away one of them. If you listen to me, I will tell you the information about the child. If not, I'm hanging up."
Ernest had investigated Jocelyn and found out she had given birth to three children. And he also knew one of her children was not with her. He was good at manipulating people's emotions. Although he didn't know where the kid was, so he could use it to rig her.
Hearing him intend to hang up, Jocelyn hurriedly said, "Don't! Don't hang up! I'll listen to you! I'll listen to you as long as you tell me the kid's information!"
Jocelyn was eager to know where Billy was and would find him at all costs.
"Good! Wait for my call."
Ernest hung up the phone, feeling proud of himself. He had long known he could control Jocelyn with this method!
After the call ended, Jocelyn held her cell phone in disbelief. Now, her mind was preoccupied with Ernest's words about the child.
She was thinking about what Ernest meant. He sounded confident on the call. Did he know her son's whereabouts?
Where was Billy?
Suddenly, she felt a sting in the softest part of her heart. She missed Billy and wondered where he was. She missed him very much.
Jocelyn sat by the window, lost in thought. She recalled what had happened to her five years ago when she had been pregnant and given birth to three babies in pain in the countryside. Billy had been so weak that he could not even cry. He had gotten ill and been dying. She had cruelly given him away because she had wanted that person to save his life.
She often dreamed of Billy crying badly. She felt heartbroken and sorry because she had failed to protect him.
Jocelyn didn't notice it when tears rolled down her cheeks. She was immersed in her world, so she didn't know Tammy and Sean had come to her.
When Tammy took Sean to see her mommy, she found the latter was crying.
Seeing her tears, Sean frowned and wondered what had happened to her. Had his father bullied her? Or had other people bullied her outside?
Tammy didn't know why her mommy was crying. All she could do was wipe the tears off her face with her little hands.
Feeling someone touching her face, Jocelyn came back to her senses. Seeing Tammy and Sean, she quickly wiped away her tears, tried hard to control her emotions, and asked, "Tammy and Sean, why are you here?"
Tammy raised her head, stared at her face, and asked without blinking, "Mommy, why are you crying?"
Sean also tilted his head to stare at her. They both wondered why.
"I didn't cry. I accidentally got sand in my eyes."
"Mommy, lower your head. I will blow it out for you."
At her daughter's request, Jocelyn slightly lowered her head. Tammy seriously blew her eyes and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"I feel much better."
"Mommy, did anyone bully you? Who made you unhappy? Tell me! I will tell Jeffrey and let him teach that bad person a lesson."
"No, no one bullied me. I just miss my baby."
"Do you miss me?"
Tammy thought Jocelyn was referring to her.
Jocelyn didn't explain but nodded, "Yes, I miss you! I also miss Sean and Jeffrey. I always miss you when you're not with me."
Then, she held Tammy and Sean in her arms.
Tammy hugged her and said, "Mommy, we miss you too!"
Sean secretly felt happy to be hugged by Ms. Murray. Fortunately, Jeffrey was not here. Otherwise, there would not have been a place for him.
When Calvin returned, he happened to see Jocelyn hugging the two children. He could not stand it! His son had become clingy since Jocelyn had come. He was worried that Sean would grow into a mama's boy.
At night, Jocelyn was still in a gloomy mood. So, she leaned against the headboard in the master bedroom and drew on a sketchbook.
She had many hobbies, and design was one of them. As long as she had time and inspiration, she would draw the things in her mind on the sketchbook. She had drawn a lot but had never made any of them into a finished product because she had no intention of becoming a fashion designer.
Seeing her go to bed so early, Calvin suspected that she was waiting for him. She had given him sexual innuendo during the day and was waiting for him on the bed at night! She must be plotting to sleep with him!
Calvin was the president of the Plexis Group and had kept his chastity until now. So, he did not allow himself to be seduced by Jocelyn.
