"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

The needle pierced her skin, eliciting a frown. Gradually, her lower abdomen lost sensation, yet her consciousness remained clear. She made an effort to take deep breaths as she stared at the overhead shadowless lamp, already yearning for the surgery to conclude.For the first time, time seemed to stretch endlessly. It wasn't until the doctor smiled and announced the surgery's completion that her tense body finally relaxed."Leave the patient here and monitor her for another hour, then transfer her to the ward," instructed Dr. Jacobson to one of the nurses in the theater."Yes, Dr. Jacobson," the nurse affirmed.Only one nurse remained to oversee Sophie's postoperative condition.Before the hour elapsed, the operating theater door swung open again, and a man in a white coat entered.The nurse appeared puzzled. "May I inquire who...""I'm the new resident. Dr. Jacobson requested my presence to observe the patient's condition. You can go and take a break. I'll watch over things he

This man wouldn't die from this stab wound, but it would afford her some time to protect herself. For the sake of her baby, she had to fight back!"You..." The man clutched his chest, his panic evident amidst the pain and fear. What he had done today was merely for the sake of money—he hadn't intended to die for a few extra bucks."No one can harm my baby, not even Cedric!" Sophie pulled out the scalpel and discarded it, then staggered swiftly toward the operating theater door. Glancing back at the man, who was crouching beside the operating table while applying pressure to his chest, she pressed the alarm button.'I wish I could just watch you die, but if you do, I'd become a murderer. I'm not that foolish!'The piercing alarm immediately sounded, prompting doctors and nurses to rush nervously into the theater.Seeing Jeanna among them, Sophie managed a weak smile and reached out toward her, intending to call her name. However, her body felt drained of strength, and she collapsed

After a series of examinations, Dr. Jacobson came to a reassuring conclusion. "Commander Carlson, Ms. Luxford was only injected with a mild dose of anesthesia. It's nothing serious.""What about the baby?" Jeanna was still worried on the side. If Sophie had not reacted quickly and stabbed the doctor in disguise, she could not even imagine what would have happened just now."The baby is doing well. There are no issues," the doctor explained.Austin breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the still-unconscious Sophie. His brows furrowed further, and a hint of wrath that even he was not aware of flickered in his gaze."Austin, Soph is awake!" Jeanna exclaimed, giving Austin a firm tug that snapped him out of his thoughts.Sophie, exhausted, slowly fluttered her eyelids on the bed as though waking from a nap. However, the memories of the events before her loss of consciousness flooded back, and she sat up abruptly, clutching her abdomen. "My baby!""Soph, lie down. The baby i
