After three days of rest at home, Sophie returned to work at Luxford Group, her face still showing signs of frailty.A concerned Linda remarked, "Ms. Luxford, your health is crucial. You seem exhausted.""I can manage," Sophie reassured with a smile, gesturing to her large thermos. "Jean makes me special mixes every day. I think I've even gained weight."She laughed, reflecting on her reliance on takeout since she sent Mrs. Carrie back to the Carlson family. Fueled by thoughts of her child, she was determined to stabilize Luxford Group before her pregnancy became more evident, allowing her to focus on childbirth abroad.Linda said, "But still—""I'm fine, really. Please gather the executives and the entire design department in the meeting room in half an hour," Sophie interrupted, reassuring Linda and Jeanna, who were worried about her.As a soon-to-be mother, she felt a need to be stronger than ever."Alright, I'll inform them now."-Half an hour later, the meeting room was

"No problem," Sophie said, watching Tiffany leave. Then she turned to Linda. "Have you noticed Jeanna has been unusually quiet today?""It does seem so," Linda commented, scanning the room. Typically, Jeanna would have made her presence more known."Let's not worry about her for now." Sophie decided, pressing her hand to her chest as she felt another wave of nausea. She quickly made her way to her office.After the meeting, Jeanna secluded herself in her office, locking the door and starting her live stream. As soon as she went live, her followers flooded her with questions.[Jean, why are you live streaming at this hour?]"I have a personal matter and need some advice from you all," said Jeanna.She could not stand by while Cedric and Vivienne treated Sophie so poorly. She briefly explained the situation, and the comments section erupted with suggestions.One follower suggested: [Find some guys to shame that mistress before getting rid of her.]Jeanna frowned. "That seems a bi

Cedric's expression briefly clouded over before returning to calm. "You're reading too much into it. Join me at the company today, and I'll have HR sort out a suitable role for you," he said.With a hopeful smile, Vivienne assisted Cedric with his briefcase, and they departed the villa together.-Fifteen minutes later, the Rolls Royce pulled up at the Carlson Group headquarters.The security guards recognized Cedric and rushed to open his car door. They were visibly taken aback to see Vivienne in the car as well. It seemed that Ms. Kerrigan was indeed set to become their CEO's new wife.For several days, Cedric brought Vivienne to work with him, sparking gossip among the Carlson employees.Near the elevator, a group of stylishly dressed female staff whispered among themselves."The former Mrs. Carlson has barely left, and she is already stepping into her shoes. Isn't that too hasty?""Jealous much? She gave the CEO a son. Don't you know the saying, 'The child's status elevates

As quitting time approached, Jeanna slipped out of work ahead of schedule, her backpack filled with supplies. She quietly made her way to the Carlson Group parking lot, where a driver's dispute with security guards provided a perfect diversion.With a grin, she felt fortunate.Having invested in the most stubborn spray can available, she retrieved it from her bag and shook it vigorously. She was prepared to transform a pristine Rolls Royce into a canvas for her graffiti art.The spray paint hissed as she coated the black luxury car with a vibrant poop-green."That's for ruining Sophie's life. Let's see how you like this shade on your car," she muttered under her breath.After crafting a poop emoji, Jeanna gleefully chose other garish colors, unable to stop herself. Soon, the once sophisticated Rolls Royce looked utterly transformed, unique in its hideousness. "This new look suits a scumbag and a mistress," she remarked with satisfaction.Jeanna then attached two large, colorful

Jeanna observed the unfolding scene from a distance, her laughter echoing with confidence. She was certain the security cameras had not captured her face, as losing her anonymity would mean defeat.Shortly after, a security guard approached Cedric with a screenshot from the surveillance footage."Sir, we couldn't capture the face, just a woman's back," he reported.Cedric's cold eyes scanned the image, his brows knitting together in confusion. It looked familiar. 'Why her?'"Cedric, can we please leave?" Vivienne's eyes were slightly red, but she was holding back, not wanting to lose her composure. She was eager to escape the mocking gazes but did not want to give in to her anger.Cedric's expression softened slightly. "Let's take a taxi."During the taxi ride, Vivienne asked the driver to stop.Already irritated, Cedric lowered the window and looked at Vivienne, who was already standing by the roadside. "What are you trying to do?""What can I do? Every day, I live in humiliat

Tristan's indignant voice resonated from within as they approached the kindergarten. "I am not a bastard. I have a dad."Another child's voice, full of false superiority, countered, "You are a bastard. Your mom isn't even your dad's wife. She's a mistress, a bad woman who broke up a family. My mom said children born to mistresses are bastards."Cedric's expression darkened immediately at the harsh words of the argument."You can't talk about my mom like that! She's not a mistress! You're the real bastard!" Tristan defended Vivienne bravely but was no match for the bigger child, who shoved him to the ground."Ricky, my mom said you're just a mistress' bastard!" the child mocked.Brimming with tears but fiery with defiance, Tristan got up from the ground. He was ready to retaliate. But upon spotting Cedric and Vivienne, he sobbed and ran into Cedric's arms."Daddy, tell him my mom's not a mistress, and I'm not a bastard. I'm your son," he pleaded, tears and conviction in his eyes.

"Am I hearing this right? You're going to announce Vivienne as your fiancée?" Sean nearly choked on his drink, stunned by Cedric's bombshell. As far as he knew, Cedric had not officially divorced yet and was now planning to introduce a fiancée."I don't want Tristan to be called a bastard," Cedric replied, downing his drink but still frowning.Sean suddenly laughed. "Let me get this straight. You're announcing Vivienne as your fiancée, not for her sake, but for your son's? When do you plan to make her your wife? When will you officially hand in your divorce papers with Sophie?"Cedric glared at Sean, annoyed by his bluntness. "What are you trying to imply?""I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Cedric, you've fallen for Sophie."Only deep love could stir such inner conflict and hesitation to move on."Me, in love with her?" Cedric laughed mockingly, yet he was rattled inwardly. The divorce papers, already signed, only needed to be handed over to a lawyer. Yet, he had left

An hour later, journalists gathered at Carlson Group, abuzz with speculation and curiosity."Such a sudden press conference. What could it be about?" one wondered."Maybe Mr. Carlson is planning to remarry Ms. Luxford. You heard about her recent visit to the maternity ward, right? If she's pregnant, surely the child shouldn't be fatherless."Amidst the chatter, a hush fell over the crowd as Cedric's distinguished footsteps approached, accompanied by the clicking of high heels. In an elegant lake-blue gown trailing down to her ankles, Vivienne entered gracefully on Cedric's arm, her smile poised and dignified.The journalists who had speculated about a remarriage inhaled sharply in surprise. This press conference was not about his ex-wife but another woman.Cedric, his expression stoic, took his seat at the podium. He picked up the microphone and immediately said, "I have an announcement to make today. My fiancée, Vivienne."The journalists exchanged glances, surprised by the dire
