In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 90
Originally, Sophie intended to drop Jeanna off at her apartment first, but Jeanna insisted on checking the progress of the design assistants at the company beforehand.Reluctantly, Sophie drove to the company.Upon entering the elevator, Linda approached them with a somewhat solemn expression. "Ms. Luxford, Carlson Group is calling for an emergency shareholders meeting and requesting your presence.""Now?" Sophie was taken aback. Even in the event of an emergency shareholders meeting, shareholders should be given some time to prepare. Why was it so urgent?"Yes, it might be related to our orders. I'll accompany you," Linda suggested.Sophie's brows furrowed at Linda's response. She glanced at Jeanna beside her and shook her head. "Wait until she finishes her work at the design department. Then, take her back to the apartment."Linda attempted to advise further, "But—""No buts." Sophie immediately interrupted Jeanna, knowing exactly what she wanted to say. She had prepared herse

Sophie tightened her grip on the photos."The issues facing Carlson Group's projects have nothing to do with me," she asserted.The shareholder, who had been questioning Sophie from the beginning, slammed the table. "I knew you wouldn't admit it! Let him in!"Within minutes, the conference room door was pushed open again, and a man wearing thick glasses entered with his head lowered, too nervous to raise it."Ms. Luxford, this is Johnny, the assistant to Mr. Chase, the manager of the project department. You should know him, shouldn't you?" the shareholder introduced mockingly.Although Sophie did not recognize Johnny, she noticed his glances toward her. Her heart sank, but she managed a cold smirk. "Do you really think anyone present would believe me if I say I don't know him?"Sophie understood that the shareholders were determined to twist the truth today. She felt isolated and unsupported.Her gaze shifted toward a certain spot in the room, but she retracted it at the last mo

'Today's baseless siege, is it led by the other shareholders or by him?' Sophie could not get to the bottom of the matter."Is there a problem?" Cedric's question interrupted her silence, prompting a slight shift in his posture. The once authoritative figure now emanated a more sinister aura, his gaze scanning the room before settling on Sophie's slender frame.Although emotions flickered in his eyes, they ultimately settled on cold indifference. "If there's nothing else, you may leave now."Sophie endured his mocking and contemptuous gaze, feeling increasingly uncomfortable in her stomach. However, every single fiber of her being fought to maintain a normal expression on her face while her forbearing gaze landed on Cedric's face."How about I return all the shares I own in Carlson Group to you? So that there won't be any more hiccups in the future." Sophie pulled out the divorce papers and equity transfer agreement from her bag, which her lawyer had long prepared.Her smile carri

"That's right. You have a son with Cedric. Now, I have one in my womb, too. You might not be aware of it yet, but Grandpa has mentioned more than once that the great-grandson of the Carlsons must come out of me!" Sophie said mockingly."Speaking of which, I'm really worried about your son, too. He's such a cute kid but still doesn't understand what it means to be an illegitimate child. However, as he grows up, he'll have to endure being pointed at and badmouthed about by others. His innocence will be shattered by the idle gossip of others early on. I really pity him."As Sophie spoke, a sudden change of tone occurred, and her gaze became more domineering. "If you want the Mrs. Carlson position so badly, go ahead and try to snatch it from me if you really have the ability. But let me warn you, don't mess with anything else that's unrelated to this matter. Otherwise, I won't spare you and your son. I advise you to be more careful!"Despite Sophie's typically willful nature, she allowe

'Thank God I didn't lose at my own gamble.' Sophie thought."Ms. Luxford, is the coffee not to your liking?" Zoltan lifted his gaze, the cafe's light reflecting off his glasses' lenses. Still, Sophie could sense the warmth in his smiling eyes behind them."No, it's just that my current condition doesn't allow me to drink coffee right now." Sophie shook her head gently and rested her fingers on her abdomen. With the baby having come into her life at this time, she was determined to do everything in her power to protect him.Zoltan noticed the expression on her face, a hint of amusement flashing across his eyes. Nonetheless, he remained silent, contenting himself with sipping his coffee. 'I've already extended my goodwill. As for everything else, it's none of my business.'-The news of the split between Carlson Group and Luxford Group caused a week-long commotion before eventually settling down. Despite the fluctuations, Luxford Group's stock price remained within manageable limits

She'll turn the tables on us when the baby is born. And once Father gives in to her demands, all of Carlson Group's equity might end up going to her child!'Pfft! What an impeccable idea!' Melissa commented inwardly, dripping with sarcasm."Ma'am, I'm sorry. I spoke out of turn," Alfred apologized fearfully.At that moment, Melissa suddenly grabbed his arm. "You haven't done anything wrong. Sophie is the one in the wrong. Alfred, I need you to take care of something for me."A malicious thought crossed Melissa's mind. 'I mustn't let Sophie give birth to that baby, even if it's Cedric's flesh and blood.'"Ma'am? What do you want me to do?" Alfred asked cautiously, raising his head.With that inquiry, a glint of delight flickered in his eyes. 'Yes, another success. I'll soon become a truly wealthy man.'Without hesitation, Melissa named her request. "I want you to..."Melissa's gaze dimmed as she gave the orders. 'Sophie, the baby in your womb could have been allowed to stay. How

"Don't be afraid, I... I'll... I'll drive!" Jeanna tossed her cell phone into her bag, her expression faring worse than Sophie's. She gnashed her teeth and grabbed the car keys from the cabinet, silently praying for divine protection as her heart raced.Assisted into the car, Sophie looked at Jeanna, whose sweat was gushing down her cheeks as she fastened her seat belt.Seeing this, Sophie reached out and held her trembling hand. "Jean, maybe we shouldn't drive. I can wait for a cab.""What's the point in waiting? At this hour, everyone's grabbing cabs. Your unborn child is more important." Jeanna closed her eyes and took a deep breath, suppressing much of her fear. She pursed her dry lips and forced a mischievous smile. "Baby Soph, trust me for your and our child's sake!"Sophie's lips twitched, and she nodded with a pang of heartache. Since the incident five years ago, Jeanna had never dared to drive. It was really tough for her to get behind the wheel today.The car started slo

If she didn't want the baby, even if he could prevent it once, he couldn't possibly monitor her every second."Understood," Evander replied, his expression growing even more conflicted.'Mr. Carlson obviously cares about Ms. Luxford and her unborn baby, yet he puts on a pretense that he doesn't care. However, on second thought, if Ms. Luxford doesn't want to keep the baby, perhaps it's for the best.'Between Ms. Kerrigan and Tristan and Ms. Luxford and her unborn baby, Mr. Carlson will eventually have to give up one of the two families,' Evander thought.Cedric tightened his grip on the pen, intending to finish signing his name, but his fingers seemed stiff. He then suppressed his emotions and raised his head. "You can go back to work.""Yes," Evander said and left the room.Alone in the office, Cedric threw the pen aside, a trace of annoyance tugging at the corners of his captivating eyes and his chiseled jawline. 'Did Sophie go to the hospital because she felt uncomfortable? Or
