Seeing that Vivienne did not mention the package, Cedric frowned and continued driving toward the kindergarten.The Rolls-Royce parked by the roadside, and unexpectedly, Vivienne did not get out of the car immediately. Instead, she lowered her head with a troubled expression. "Cedric, there's something I'm not sure whether I should tell you.""Huh?" Cedric responded."I…" Vivienne was about to give the story away but stopped halfway. "Forget it. It's not a big deal. Tristan is about to finish school. Let's go and wait for him at the gate." Cedric did not press further, and they picked up Tristan and drove back to the villa.As soon as they entered through the door, a maid brought a box to Vivienne. "Ms. Kerrigan, this came for you earlier today."Vivienne's hand that was holding onto Cedric's arm trembled slightly, and a hint of panic flashed across her eyes."Have there been a lot of deliveries recently?" Cedric's cold voice sounded as his big hand reached for the box.Howeve

Cedric looked up at the window of Sophie's apartment and frowned in annoyance. The day his car was vandalized, he instantly recognized the figure from the surveillance video as Jeanna.At that moment, his phone beeped twice. He picked up the phone and swiped it to unlock the screen.Evander: [The package Ms. Kerrigan received at the company is shipped from an address very near Ms. Luxford's residence.]After reading the message from Evander, a cold glint flickered in his eyes. He tapped on the phone so vigorously that the screen was about to crack, dialing a number that he remembered by heart.In the apartment, Sophie was about to call Jeanna, who had not returned yet. But the phone rang before she could dial out, and she instantly answered without thinking.However, looking at the name displayed on the screen, Sophie's face turned pale in shock.Cedric rarely called her. In fact, she could not recall receiving even three calls from him in their three years of marriage. So much s

"Please let go of me." Sophie struggled to calm down her racing heartbeat. She frowned and looked at the large hands pinning her shoulder in displease.Cedric did not let go but only weakened his grip. His gaze shifted onto her pale and slender face. "Grandpa just made a will. Do you want to know what's in it?"'Grandpa made a will?' Sophie was surprised. When she went to the hospital to visit Jeff the other day, she told him that the baby was still around, hoping he would take good care of himself. How could he make a will in a hurry?"Grandpa left 40% of his equity to the eldest great-grandson of the Carlsons. Can you guess what he was thinking?" Cedric asked as his oppressive body pressed toward her.Sophie's face turned pale again. 'The eldest great-grandson of the Carlsons?'Jeff had indeed mentioned more than once that the great-grandson of the Carlsons must be Sophie's child—this was no news in the family.'Could it be that he's suspicious of me because of the will?' Upon

Sophie had been waiting for those words. She opened the car door with a smile and instantly breathed the air of freedom. With her legs feeling weak, she took a few laborious steps.However, just as she started to move, an angry voice sounded behind her. "Sophie Luxford, you'd better not be lying to me about anything. Otherwise, I'll crush your life so gravely that you'll ask for a quick death!"'I'll ask for a quick death? I've long felt like that! Way too long!' Sophie refuted inwardly.Upon seeing that she did not even stop, Cedric's hands clenched into fists on the steering wheel. As soon as the disappointment dissipated, a hint of wrath flashed across his eyes. 'Perhaps I've been overthinking things all this while!'-Back in her apartment, Sophie's first instinct was to lock the door, ensuring Cedric would not follow her upstairs. Only then did she bend over, clutching her abdomen and gasping for air.She had used up all her composure with her gamble that Cedric was merely t

"I've booked the flight tickets during the meeting. The driver will take you directly to the airport after the celebration. Upon your arrival in Nautilus Bay, someone will pick you up and take you to your apartment."In addition, the housekeeper responsible for your daily living arrangements has already moved in since yesterday. In case of emergencies, you can reach the nearby maternity and gynecology hospital within five minutes."Jeanna's meticulous arrangements evoked a subconscious smile in Sophie.However, just when she was about to thank her, there was a knock on the door."Come in," Sophie replied."Linda, there's a parcel for Ms. Luxford." Linda's assistant came in with an envelope in her hands.Linda took the parcel from her and habitually glanced at the sender's information. There was no information at all, so she could not help but frown. "Ms. Luxford?""It's okay, give it to me." Sophie took the envelope with a smile and tore off the seal on it.She had expected the

Jeanna noticed that Sophie had been staring at the infant and toddler section. With a vigilant look around, she smiled and leaned into Sophie's ear. "If you like something, go take a look. I've checked. There's no one we know around.""Forget it. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Sophie reluctantly withdrew her gaze. She could not be sure whether Cedric had dispelled his previous suspicions.The day after tomorrow would arrive in the blink of an eye, and she did not want any accidents to occur during this final period."True. When the time comes, I'll fly over, and we'll buy up all the infant stores in Nautilus Bay. I'll pay for it!" Jeanna exclaimed."With the cost of a sundae?" Sophie teased.As they joked and laughed, suddenly, a thin figure dashed toward Sophie.She instinctively turned sideways and shielded her belly, avoiding any potential impact. The person took advantage and snatched her handbag."That motherfucker! He dares to blatantly rob you. I'll

After hanging up, Sophie turned to Jeanna beside her. "Just as you wished, the entire private fund is spent.""What? Why pin it on me? You know, you're the boss. You can't just act unreasonably!" Jeanna protested, clearly taken aback.For Sophie, the recent incident involving her bag being snatched was a minor inconvenience she handled with surprising calm.Unbeknownst to her, the seemingly random event was orchestrated, entangling numerous hidden agendas.-"Did everything proceed as I instructed?" Vivienne asked over the phone."Don't worry, Ms. Kerrigan. Everything went exactly as you planned. Ms. Luxford didn't contact the police, just as you predicted," the man on the other end replied.Vivienne sat on the edge of her bed, her expression one of cold satisfaction. 'Sophie? The renowned Ms. Luxford of the Luxford family wouldn't bother calling the police over a mere 12,000 dollars.""Ms. Kerrigan, about our payment..." the man asked."I'll transfer it soon. Remember, this h

Jeanna stood up from the couch, her slender arm nonchalantly hooking around the neck of a handsome young man seated next to her."Everyone, let's first toast to our boss' wise decision," she announced, lifting her glass."Cheers!" echoed the crowd, standing in unison.Sophie was among them, her glass of orange juice in stark contrast to the red wine everyone else held."Ms. Luxford, you should celebrate with a bit of wine," suggested Tiffany, already buzzing from the alcohol. She reached for a bottle, but Darren swiftly intervened, snatching it away."You've had enough," he cautioned."You're joking, right? Just started, and you say I'm drunk? You underestimate me." Tiffany huffed playfully. "Heh, Darren, are you thinking of taking advantage of me being drunk like you did five years ago? Let me tell you, the biggest regret of my life was sleeping with you that night. It has nagged me for years..."Tiffany's words trailed off as she lost balance and clumsily collapsed onto the co
