Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1202: His Old Flame

Everyone started congratulating Scorpion, assuming Dianna was pregnant with his child.

Scorpion knew Dianna wasn’t pregnant. He hadn’t even touched her hand yet, so how could she be pregnant?

"Stop it, don’t make a fuss," Scorpion sternly reprimanded the crowd. When he first met Dianna, he had an experienced elderly woman check on her, and Dianna was still a virgin, otherwise he wouldn’t treasure her so much.

Dianna weakly leaned on Scorpion’s shoulder, "I’m just adjusting to the environment, but I’m fine now."

"That’s good," Scorpion reached out and wrapped his arm around Dianna’s shoulder.

Mort Thorne wasn’t as naive as Scorpion. Seeing Dianna vomit, his pupils contracted; he knew she was married. She surely had marital relations with her husband, so it wouldn’t be unusual for her to be pregnant.

Was she really pregnant?

Mort’s gaze fell on her abdomen. Her belly was still flat, giving no indication of anything.

Mort’s heart was already in turmoil, but he remained calm on the surface, "Boss, my right leg is inconvenient, so I won’t be choosing anyone."

His right leg was disabled; he had a prosthetic, which Scorpion knew about.

Scorpion laughed heartily, "Mountain, your right leg is inconvenient now, so save your energy. Don’t be inconvenienced later when you take the girls back to your room, you can choose two of the top girls here now."

Scorpion asked him to choose the girls.

Dianna’s gaze was icy; Scorpion was inherently suspicious. If Mort didn’t choose, he’d be suspicious; if Mort chose but didn’t do anything in the room, Scorpion would still suspect something.

What to do?

Should he really become intimate with another woman?

At that moment, the luxurious box door swung open, and a graceful figure walked in, "I heard Lord Scorpion is here, why didn’t you look for me? Have you forgotten me?"

Scorpion glanced up and quickly laughed, "So it’s Lady Snow."

Dianna spared a glance at this Lady Snow. Lady Snow was in her thirties, lacking the advantage of youth among these top girls, but a woman in her thirties had her charms; Lady Snow was fair and beautiful, charming and alluring, outshining these younger girls completely.

Though Lady Snow was no longer the top girl in the underground palace, she was the most favored here and mixed within comfortably.

"Lord Scorpion, is she your old flame?" Dianna asked Scorpion.

Scorpion quickly denied it, "Of course not."

Dianna didn’t expose him, she gave him a playful yet reproachful look.

That glance captivated Scorpion thoroughly.

"Lord Scorpion, is this little beauty your new girlfriend? She’s really beautiful. Little sister, don’t misunderstand, Lord Scorpion and I are merely friends."

Dianna scoffed, one could be any kind of friend.

"Dianna, you may not know, but Lady Snow has quite the background. She was the old flame of Starfall City’s lord."

Dianna’s heart skipped a beat. So Lady Snow wasn’t Scorpion’s old flame; she was Mort Thorne’s old flame?

Mort Thorne was right here.

Dianna turned her head slightly, looking at Mort Thorne.

Mort Thorne had retreated into the dark corner, restraining his presence; he pressed down his cap, his hands in his pockets, making it impossible for anyone to read his thoughts.

Dianna had always known that when Mort Thorne was Hong Kong’s Cain Shaw, he had many women around, but she’d never directly encountered one of his former lovers.

Lady Snow was the first.

"Dianna, you probably haven’t heard of Cain Shaw, right? Cain Shaw dominated the City of Aethelgard, he was a grand figure, and when he was around, it was quite the spectacle," Scorpion said.

"Yes, do you know why this underground palace became so popular? Because many years ago, Lord Cain visited the underground palace, reserved it for a month, played cards every night, and had endless entertainment. Back then, we were too young even to catch a glimpse of Lord Cain."

"Let’s not mention us, even those young ladies locked away in their boudoirs were eager to sneak a peek at Lord Cain. Twenty years ago, Aethelgard’s women said that without spending a night with Lord Cain, they wouldn’t know the essence of being a woman."...

Talking about Cain Shaw excited all the top girls; they all hadn’t had the chance to meet Cain Shaw.

Except for Lady Snow.

"Lady Snow, when Lord Cain reserved the place, out of so many girls, you were the one chosen by him. He treated you especially, didn’t he?" The other top girls remarked sourly.

Dianna faintly tugged at her lips, so it wasn’t just a passing affair; Mort Thorne and Lady Snow had a history together.

Lady Snow sat on the sofa, crossed her legs, then lit a cigarette, her every move was elegant and alluring.

Due to her connection to Cain Shaw, she remained favored in the underground palace over the years. The guests enjoyed choosing her to see what made her special to Cain Shaw.

Including Scorpion, who was a sworn adversary of Cain Shaw, how could he miss Cain Shaw’s former flames? 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Lady Snow, tell us, isn’t it thrilling to serve Lord Cain? Everyone knows Lord Cain is famously generous and wealthy!" A top girl asked curiously.

Lady Snow took a puff of her cigarette and exhaled the smoke, her eyes hiding old affections but outwardly she was skillful and composed. She laughed, "Being Lord Cain’s woman is indeed a blessing, but Lord Cain died three years ago. Let’s not talk about him; let the deceased rest."

Tch.

The other top girls snorted disdainfully, Lady Snow thrived on being Cain Shaw’s woman, and everyone accorded her respect because of it.

Lady Snow took another drag from her cigarette, at that moment she suddenly noticed Mort Thorne in the secluded corner, and her actions briefly froze.

Dianna was watching Lady Snow too; she realized Lady Snow had recognized Mort Thorne.

Mort Thorne’s identity couldn’t be exposed now; if it were, Scorpion would ensure he had no place to rest in peace.

Dianna’s eyes flashed coldly because she saw Lady Snow calmly look away in the next second, acting as if nothing was amiss.

Dianna curved her lips in a mocking arc, perhaps she was worrying about nothing.

Lady Snow recognized Mort Thorne but didn’t show it; Lady Snow held feelings for Mort Thorne.

Lady Snow was protecting Mort Thorne.

"Lady Snow, I brought my driver here today. Among all the top girls, introduce two excellent ones to my driver, make sure he’s well taken care of tonight," Scorpion pointed to Mort Thorne in the corner.

Lady Snow stood up, approached Mort Thorne, her tobacco-scented hand slowly crawled up his stubbled cheek, she smiled temptingly, "What’s there to choose? The best girl here is... me, isn’t it?"

"Lady Snow, you!"

The other top girls’ expressions changed, this poor driver had caught their interest first, yet Lady Snow boldly intervened.

Suddenly Mort Thorne, who had been silent, moved, his large hand emerged from his pocket and clamped onto Lady Snow’s soft waist, pulling her forcefully into his embrace.
