Chapter 1392

Author: Faith Shaw
In just one week, Lydia had accomplished so much that even her supervisor took notice of her hard work and dedication. “Tomorrow, we're meeting with a client. I’d like you to come with me.”

“A client meeting? Really?” Lydia's eyes lit up.

She had once been an assistant to Nash, so handling clients was nothing new. But after only a week at her family’s company, being invited to a client meeting felt like a clear sign of her supervisor’s trust in her.

“Absolutely. I’ve been observing your skills and your attitude, and honestly, I think you might be even better than me. You’re more than ready to meet clients,” her supervisor affirmed.

There was still plenty of prep work for the meeting, so her supervisor forwarded all the project files to Lydia’s email.

Opening her inbox for the first time in a while, Lydia saw her supervisor’s email at the top, but she also noticed an unread message from Quincy. She had intended to delete it, but her finger slipped, opening the email instead.

    Seeing his daughter collapsed on the floor, Mr. Fay was terrified. He rushed over in just a few strides, scooped her up, and bolted out of the office. “Call an ambulance!” he shouted. One of the nearby employees quickly dialed 911, and within minutes, an ambulance was at the building entrance. Mr. Fay rode with his daughter to the hospital, anxiously pacing outside the emergency room, his worry mounting. She was his only child, his greatest treasure. If anything happened to her, he didn’t know how he or his wife would cope. Just the thought alone was overwhelming.Lost in his thoughts, he nearly jumped when the doctor approached. He grabbed the doctor’s shoulders, his voice frantic, “Doctor, how’s my daughter? What’s wrong with her?”The doctor glanced at Mr. Fay’s grip, considering stepping back, but the desperation in his eyes was unmistakable. With a deep sigh, the doctor replied, “Your daughter’s fine, Mr. Fay. She just had low blood sugar. She’s recently pregnant, so she

    “That's not true. This child isn’t his at all. He’s lying about it,” Lydia shook her head, her voice steady. “This child is Quincy’s.”She gently placed her hand over her stomach, a thought striking her. Could it be that the child she had lost before had somehow returned to her?Turning to her father, she declared, “No matter what, I’m keeping this child. Quincy and I are divorced, but he won’t trouble me. I trust him. I know he’s a decent man.”“And what about his mother?” Mr. Fay sighed, shaking his head. “That troublesome mother-in-law is a nightmare for anyone unlucky enough to deal with her.”Compared to Eugene, he was starting to view Quincy in a more favorable light. Besides, the evidence he had found showed that the slanderous posts defaming Lydia online weren’t Quincy’s doing. They were from Tiffany, who had even connected with a rival of Fay Corporation. This mess wasn’t Quincy’s fault.If Quincy were the only concern, Mr. Fay might have looked the other way for the sake

    “With what would she get pregnant?” Mrs. Perez laughed, dismissing Lydia entirely. “I asked the doctor last time. With her condition, it’s hard for her to conceive, especially after a miscarriage. Even if she tried to lure Quincy, it wouldn’t bring about a child.”Suddenly, the door to the room was thrown open.Quincy stood outside, his face filled with anger. He could no longer hold back. Every word he had just overheard pushed him to his breaking point. He never imagined his mother could be so ruthless, so selfish, so downright despicable.“Quincy, what are you doing back so suddenly?” Mrs. Perez was genuinely panicked. With only Mabel in the room earlier, she hadn’t held back, saying exactly what was on her mind. She hadn’t expected Quincy to come back like this.“If I hadn’t come back, how would I have known about all the ‘good deeds’ my mother’s been doing behind my back?” Quincy’s voice trembled with frustration. “You’re a woman too. How could your heart be so twisted?”Not

    “I didn’t actually go through with the treatment.” Mrs. Perez felt a deep wave of regret. She had schemed and plotted, yet, in the end, she had outsmarted herself. If she had known it would come to this, she never would have gone down this road.“But it’s all clearly documented in your medical record.”“I didn’t take the medication, and I poured out the IV fluids,” Mrs. Perez confessed, regretting every word as she spoke.The doctor could only look at her, baffled. “If you don’t want treatment, then just go home and save the money. Young people today work hard to earn a living, and it’s embarrassing for our hospital if this gets out.”“No, no! I’ve learned my lesson. I’ll fully cooperate with treatment from now on.” Mrs. Perez was suddenly willing to comply, all traces of defiance gone.Despite her tough talk about dying, the ones who talk about it the most are often the ones most afraid of it. She genuinely wanted to live. Life was good now, with no financial worries, and excep

    “Her condition is very severe. Even if she undergoes surgery now, she’ll most likely be bedridden for the rest of her life.” When it came to his mother, Quincy could only think, “she brought this on herself”.In the beginning, Lydia had treated her so well, always considerate and caring, visiting her regularly and even making various nutritious soups. If his mother hadn’t created so much trouble, the family would be happy together, eagerly awaiting the arrival of a new life. But life would not work on “what ifs”; only actions and consequences.Lydia was silent for a long time. “How did it come to this?”Back when they were still married, Mrs. Perez’s health had seemed fine. She looked perfectly healthy. How did things deteriorate so quickly?“She’s been faking her illness for ages, but now she’s genuinely sick, and her condition has worsened fast. She’s missed the best treatment window,” Quincy explained briefly.Lydia nearly blurted out “serves her right,” but held her tongue,

    “Then maybe it’s best to just end this cleanly from the start,” Mrs. Fay said, standing firmly on her daughter’s side. “Go on, I’ll transfer the money directly to your account. These items are too heavy for one person to carry, so I’ll have a bodyguard help you out.”Hearing the word “bodyguard” made Eugene feel even more bitter. She was subtly warning him that if he tried anything, there were bodyguards ready to step in and throw him out.He gave Lydia one last look. “Then, I’ll go. Lydia, take care of yourself.”“She’d better stay home as much as possible. If not…” he thought. Of course, he didn’t say this out loud. He had followed her before, and he planned to continue. When the right moment came, he would take her away by force if necessary. Once intimate photos of them together made it online, Mr. and Mrs. Fay wouldn’t have much choice but to reluctantly accept him as their son-in-law. Society was always harder on women than men. Unless her parents truly didn’t care about

    Lydia looked outside. The once-bustling street was now eerily quiet. It was rush hour. Vendors should have been seizing the moment to rake in profits, not closing shop all at once. The only explanation? Eugene had orchestrated it all.“You’re truly despicable,” Lydia’s disgust deepened.Eugene, far from being ashamed, looked proud. “Thanks for the compliment. I paid each vendor two thousand dollars to clear out. Now, you have two options: willingly be with me, or be forced to.”One way or another, he was determined to have Lydia.Lydia’s hand moved to her bag’s zipper as she scoffed. “I’m not choosing either.”She was human, not about to be treated like a captive animal. Eyeing her chance, she began to unzip her bag to retrieve her pepper spray, but Eugene moved in, wrapping his arms around her from the side.He buried his face in her hair, inhaling deeply. “Mmm, you smell amazing, my dear. You’re getting your divorce next week, right? How about you marry me on the same day?”

    Quincy didn’t bother looking back. His fury poured into every punch aimed at Eugene’s face. “If you have a problem with me, fine. But why hurt Lydia? Are you even a man?”A man’s fists should be used to protect women, not to terrorize them.He had originally planned to follow Lydia for a few days, observe Eugene, and see if Eugene was truly someone who could make her happy. If so, Quincy was willing to step back. But now, seeing what Eugene had done, he realized just how wrong he had been. If he hadn’t arrived in time, Lydia would have been at Eugene’s mercy. No amount of punches felt like enough.After watching for a moment, Lydia finally called his name. “Quincy, step aside.”Eugene looked up suddenly. Blood was already trickling from the corner of Eugene's mouth, but he managed a smug smile at Quincy. “See? To Lydia, I’ll always matter more than you. If you know what’s good for you, back off. This is just a little *marital fun* between us.”Quincy couldn’t hold back a curse.

    But instead of feeling touched, Vera’s first reaction was nausea. A wave of discomfort surged up from her stomach, and Vera’s face paled. She bolted for the bathroom. Caleb followed quickly. “Are you feeling sick?” “I don’t think so. I’ve been eating normally—nothing too heavy or weird lately.” Vera clutched her stomach, just as confused as he was. Then, a possibility flashed through her mind. Caleb clearly had the same thought. Without a word, he turned and walked into their bedroom, returning moments later with a pregnancy test. Vera looked at him, stunned. “When did you buy that?” He responded matter-of-factly, “Better safe than sorry.” Vera was momentarily speechless. Five minutes later, she stepped out of the bathroom, her hand instinctively resting on her stomach, her expression a mix of shock and disbelief. It was positive. They had only been married for three months. How did this happen so fast?Caleb, on the other hand, remained composed—at le

    Of course, Vera wasn’t about to dump all her responsibilities on her assistant. That would be exploitation. She called her assistant into her office. “You’re twenty-five this year, right?” Her assistant blinked, confused. Wasn’t her age common knowledge? Why was Vera suddenly bringing it up? A thought struck her. Was this an arranged marriage situation? Her face immediately filled with silent refusal. “Miss Vera, I’m still young. I’m not thinking about marriage anytime soon.” Vera tapped her pen against the desk. “I’m not telling you to get married.” “Oh.” “I just want to offload some of the smaller daily tasks to you. You don’t have to run every minor document by me.”Her assistant instantly understood. A raise. After confirming she was on board, Vera gave her a salary bump and had her hire a few more assistants to distribute the workload. “If I don’t have time to handle everything, you guys will take care of it. If something’s too complicated, jus

    Vera could sense danger the moment the conversation turned in this direction. Her father had never questioned her about married life, and she was lucky enough to avoid nosy relatives. But just because she hadn’t experienced it firsthand didn’t mean she hadn’t seen it happen to others. Without hesitation, she abandoned the half-folded pastry in her hands. “I... uh, need to use the restroom.” Before she could escape, Mrs. Smith caught her wrist. “You and Caleb aren’t getting any younger,” she said matter-of-factly. “You should start thinking about kids—make sure you’re putting in the effort, hmm?” Vera left the kitchen visibly drained. Mrs. Smith was a wonderful mother-in-law, the kind who treated Vera like her own daughter. Despite knowing Vera came from a well-off family, she had still gifted them a house as a wedding present. Of course, Caleb already owned a place, but his mother had insisted. “That’s your house. This is the home I’m giving you as a weddi

    That undeniable possessiveness flickered in Caleb’s gaze—subtle yet impossible to ignore. It was the kind of look a powerful man might give his beloved in an old Hollywood film. And right now, the photographer felt like the unlucky bystander who had accidentally stumbled upon an intimate scene. His voice wavered slightly, caught up in his own imagination. “Mr. Smith, lift your eyes toward the camera.” Caleb’s sharp gaze flickered over, intense and commanding. The photographer instinctively pressed the shutter. They continued with several more poses, reviewing the shots as they went. Vera loved them all, but her favorite was still the vintage-inspired one. “How long until we get the final prints?” she asked. “Two to three days at most,” the photographer replied. “I’ll have them shipped directly to you.” Then, after a slight pause, he hesitated before making a request. “I actually have a personal favor to ask—would you both be open to letting us displa

    Vera was tempted. They had already taken plenty of wedding photos—several sets at the island, more at the wedding itself. But this wasn’t just any photo studio. It was privately booked and known for being one of the most prestigious studios in the city. Appointments here were nearly impossible to get. The fact that Caleb had managed to secure a session meant he had gone to great lengths to make it happen. If they were just going to take ordinary wedding pictures, it would be a waste of an opportunity. Still, she wasn’t sure what kind of shoot she wanted. The photographer, understanding her hesitation, pulled out a sample album. “You can take a look at our past work. These are some of the styles we’ve done.” Flipping through the pages, Vera saw an array of stunning concepts—each picture more breathtaking than the last. Then, one particular set caught her eye. A Golden Age Hollywood theme.It was classic, nostalgic, and beautifully atmospheric. “Ca

    After the wedding, Vera considered taking some time off for a honeymoon. But the thought quickly faded when she realized Caleb had been practically living at the hospital. With a sigh, she dismissed the idea. She was used to it, but to say she wasn’t disappointed would be a lie. Her assistant picked up on it. “Mrs. Smith, don’t you want to go on a honeymoon?” she asked one day. “One of my friends just got married, and she’s been obsessively researching destinations. “She even said a marriage without a honeymoon is already half a failure.” Vera froze mid-page, suddenly losing interest in the documents she had been reviewing. Her assistant hesitated, then offered a suggestion. “Why don’t you go visit Dr. Smith at work?“You seem… distracted. Maybe seeing him will help.” Vera snapped out of her daze, suddenly aware of how preoccupied she had been lately. It was embarrassing to admit, but she had been zoning out far too often—especially after coming hom

    Whenever they did this in the past, Caleb always maintained some restraint. But tonight—he didn’t hold back at all. He took her from the bedroom to the bathroom, then back to the bed, his searing kisses trailing every inch of her skin. The next morning, even as she woke up, Vera could still feel the lingering traces of last night’s intoxicating pleasure. As expected, she ended up taking the day off. It wasn’t until two days later that she finally returned to work. *Everyone at the company had already prepared for this. The moment Vera walked into the office, she was greeted with knowing smiles and teasing remarks. “Congratulations, Mrs. Smith!” “Newlywed bliss, huh?” “Three whole days off? Someone had a good time.” It didn’t take a genius to figure out what she had been up to. Obviously, her married life was going exceptionally well—so well that she had completely abandoned work for it. Under the weight of their mischievous stares, Vera barely k

    Yelena still hadn’t accepted Hunter, but he wasn’t giving up either and was relentlessly closing in on her. Knowing Yelena’s soft heart, Vera figured it was only a matter of time before she gave in. She let out a sigh. Her friend’s love life wasn’t something she could interfere with. Besides, Caleb had already given her a little inside scoop. “She came to the hospital for a follow-up a few days ago,” he had mentioned casually. “Hunter was the one who brought her.” Vera had clicked her tongue at the news. Yelena always seemed quiet and reserved, but apparently, she was full of surprises.*Time flew by in the blink of an eye.By mid-month, Caleb had rented out an entire vineyard and spent several days transforming it into the perfect wedding venue.When the day arrived, the celebration took place right there.The vineyard was sprawling and elegant, every bit as grand as any luxury hotel—if not better. Even the wine cellar remained untouched, stocked with years-

    “Did you plan this from the start?” Vera narrowed her eyes, feeling like she had just walked into a carefully laid trap. “Mm.” Caleb smiled, then leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. Because yes—he had always been planning this. The biggest change in Vera’s life after the island proposal was the ring now sitting on her finger. It wasn’t just any ring. It was custom-made, something Caleb had specially ordered. She only found out by accident when she glanced at his phone one day and saw the purchase record. It had been ordered two months ago. Vera did the math and was stunned. He had been preparing for this long before she even started getting impatient. Her heart swelled with emotion. And as soon as Caleb’s parents heard that their son had finally proposed, they wasted no time pushing them to get the marriage license. *One day, Vera overheard Caleb’s mother lecturing him. “Your dad and I weren’t expecting much from you.
