Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss Chapter 1248

Chapter 1248: Chapter 1220: The Highly Valued Solution to Breaking Through Chapter 1248: Chapter 1220: The Highly Valued Solution to Breaking Through Kiara was already five months pregnant, and her belly was starting to show, although she still had no pregnancy reactions and could eat and sleep well. However, she was concerned that her child had still not moved.

Olivia Brown's baby was already kicking and punching inside her womb, so why wasn't hers moving?

The check-ups all indicated everything was normal, but Kiara couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right. Why was her experience now so different from her past life?

In her past life, she had severe pregnancy reactions, but now she could eat and sleep well and was in good spirits. In her past life, the baby seemed to have started moving early, unlike now, where it remained still.

She was feeling a bit anxious, but Kiara's mother was even more anxious than she was, calling her almost daily to check on her and even secretly looking for folk remedies. She had brought Kiara a suspicious powder last time, telling her to drink it with water. Kiara agreed verbally but secretly threw it away–who would want to drink that stuff!

She still hadn't forgotten how they fooled her into drinking “coffin water” when she was a child.

One day, Kiara's mother called again, and her enthusiastic voice could be heard through the phone.

“Kiara, have Edward Wheeler take you home tomorrow, we've organized a Female Virtue Lecture here, come and listen.”

“Female… what?!” Kiara thought there was something wrong with her ears.

Didn't the Qing dynasty collapse a long time ago? Where did this come from?

“Female Virtue Lecture! I had to pull some strings to get you a ticket. You have no idea how famous this lecture is nationwide, it's incredibly hard to get a ticket! I just had someone read your fortune the other day, asking why the child in your belly still isn't moving. The master said that the child was too mischievous in its past life and was born in this life to torment its parents. To dispel the calamity, you need to listen to the Great Compassion Mantra or Hymns during pregnancy. If you don't, in the future, he'll become a little king of mischief and no one will have peace! Also, you need to let him listen to this Female Virtue Lecture, they say it can dissipate karma… ”
“Oh, I see, where did you have this reading? When I go back tomorrow, I'll have it done for Olivia, too.” Kiara asked calmly, suppressing her anger.

Upon hearing Kiara's interest, her mother grew excited and provided detailed information about the fortune-teller's address. Kiara memorized it carefully in her mind.

When Mario Yuno came home that evening and saw Kiara with an angry face, emanating an aura of displeasure, his first thought was to remember the day of the week–no, it wasn't correct, his daughter-in-law wasn't teaching today, she shouldn't have encountered Edward Farmbright, that green tea guy, and Yuzo Joel had gone abroad and wasn't around. The people who could upset Kiara weren't present, so her reaction seemed out of place.

So, Mario Yuno pointed at Beautiful Lady, who was gnawing on a sausage, and said, “Did you upset Mommy? You're banned from eating boiled ribs tonight!”

Underpants! A dog lies at home in peace, but trouble comes from the sky!

Beautiful Lady's sausage fell from her mouth with an expression of infinite grievance in her eyes.

What did it do! Why was it being denied ribs!

“It's not her; don't take it out on her,” Kiara said irritably.

“Oh, then I'll go stew some ribs for you,” Mario Yuno didn't dare to ask more. Lately, he'd been treating Kiara like a treasure in his palm, afraid to say something wrong that might upset her. He felt that Kiara's mood had been incredibly energetic, like she was on a tonic, most of the time since getting pregnant, she was happy, but when she got upset, her temper flared up immediately. This might have been related to the hormonal changes during pregnancy; she was no longer as reserved as before, with her mood written all over her face.

“Come back here! Do you have time tomorrow?”

“Uh… I have a meeting to attend tomorrow, my Empress, do you have any instructions?”

“Find me some tough guys; I'm going to challenge them! This is outrageous!”

She had been holding her breath all afternoon, fuming that her unborn baby had been labeled as naughty and audaciously accused of being born to torment her parents. She wished she could go back and give the charlatan who'd hoodwinked her mother a good beating. Cursing a child, such a person deserved to die!

Mario Yuno heard her recount the events and was equally angry.

“That just sounds like some street hustler scamming people, what rubbish! The Great Compassion Mantra is Buddhist, and hymns belong to Christianity–these aren't even the same belief system. They want the kid to listen to both without fearing a clash? It's clear it's a scam!”

No matter how high one's IQ, as a parent, who could stand someone cursing their child?

“Watch me demolish this swindler's den when I get back. I have to let these money-scamming jerks know you can eat whatever you want, but words can't be spoken carelessly. Get me someone who can fight now; when I'm done arguing, I'm smashing the place! He scammed my mom, a naive housewife, and I'll make him cough up every penny he conned!”

Normally, Mario Yuno didn't agree with Kiara's impulsiveness, but this time, he couldn't hold back either. If not for his obligations that kept him from leaving, he would've gone with Kiara himself.

“No need to pick; we already have someone. Arlong's off tomorrow, and he's going home for a blood test anyway. He can go with you. If he doesn't beat the nonsense out of the liar, he's getting extra portions when I get back!”

The couple was raring to go. Mario Yuno immediately called for Arlong, and the young man came running.

When he heard his brother-in-law wanted him to join Kiara in a fight tomorrow, Arlong was thrilled.

“I'm up for it; leave it to me. How dare someone curse my little nephew! I'll make sure he gets what he deserves!”

“Go! It's our unshakable duty to eradicate feudal superstitions!” Mario Yuno declared resolutely, and Arlong reflexively stood at attention.

“Mission accepted!”

It was about time this fortune-telling scammer met his bad luck. Of all people to offend, he had to mess with a pregnant noble lady and dare talk about her precious unborn baby. No wonder both Mario Yuno and Kiara were so furious.

Not only did Mario Yuno dispatch Arlong as the vanguard, but he also called in some people from Q City for Kiara. This fire couldn't be suppressed.

Those ready to vent their anger were on standby, unbeknownst to Kiara's mother.

Learning that her son and daughter were coming home together made her ecstatic; she waited at the entrance of the complex early on.

When Kiara got home and saw her mother dressed in a tang suit with her curly hair straightened, sticking to her round head, making her chubby face look even chubbier against the bright red of the outfit, she found it amusing.

“Mom, are you choking?” Kiara felt that the standing collar and decorative knots of the tang suit were squeezing her mother's fat into indentations. “What are you playing at with this ancient style?”

“Isn't it because I'm coming to the class with you? I figured I should dress in an antique fashion so I wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb,” Kiara's mother adjusted her clothes, looking at her son and daughter, feeling incredibly satisfied.

Arlong had trimmed down a lot, looking robust. Under his brother-in-law's tough regimen, he'd been honed to a degree of vigor he hadn't possessed before. It was really good to see.”

And Kiara's pregnancy was showing. As a self-proclaimed winner in life, Kiara's mother couldn't allow imperfections in her tranquil life and became overly concerned about her unborn grandchild. That's why the “master's” suggestion of breaking the spell was particularly important to her.
