"Congratulations! You're pregnant, Ms. Yale."The doctor passed the test report to Anna, and she stared at it in disbelief."Am I really pregnant?""Yes!""How long have I been pregnant?""It's the seventh week."Anna held the report but did not leave the hospital right away.She went to the inpatient department. It was on the eighth floor of another building.When she exited the elevator, she saw a familiar nurse. She hurriedly asked, "How has my father been?"The nurse stopped and smiled. "He's doing well. He just had lunch."Anna was not relieved.Her father had been in the hospital for over a month. When was he going to get better?Anna visited him at the hospital every day, and she could see that he was getting worse. However, the doctors could not figure out what was wrong with him, which was very frustrating.After Wesley had fainted at work and been sent to the hospital, he had lied to Anna and said that it was just the flu.Two days after he had left the hospital
When they got home, Xander walked upstairs toward his room. Anna followed him.The man suddenly stopped and turned around to say to her, "Why don't you go talk to the housekeeper about your pregnancy? Have her pay more attention to your nutrition and food intake."It was Anna's first time being pregnant, and she did not know what she needed to focus on. What Xander said reminded her that she would have to change up her diet.Was the man concerned about her?"Oh."She nodded and went to let the housekeeper know.The moment she turned around, the man behind her said, "I hope the child won't be as stupid as you."Anna lowered her head and bit her lower lip.It seemed like she had overthought things. She really was dumb.How could Xander ever care about her?He did not look happy about the pregnancy at all. It was like he saw it as a job.Once he had completed his job, Xander began staying out the whole night and not coming home again.While Anna was daydreaming in her room, sh
Anna sighed as she said, "You've already made up your mind about this anyway, so I won't bother defending myself. I wanted to talk to you about something else today. It's about you and Leanne."Xander denied nothing and merely raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did that assistant tell you?""You don't have to know who told me, and I won't ask if you really have something going on with a single mother either. I just want to ask that you please not have any unclear relationships with women for the moment. At least until my father leaves, don't—"Anna suddenly got choked up."I don't think my father has much longer. I don't want him to worry about me. Please, just see it as acting in front of him. Could you just act a bit nicer to me when we're with him?"Xander did not answer, so she clenched her teeth and kneeled in front of him. "I'm begging you!""Waht are you doing? Get up!""I won't get up if you don't promise me!""Anna, don't use such lowly methods to threaten me. Do you think
This time, Yaacob would be away on a business trip for at least two weeks. Before he left, he had arranged everything for Nancy. Nancy should be completely fine. Yaacob's current standing in the family was strong enough that no one dared mess with Nancy. Even if there were problems, they would be only small matters that Nancy could solve on her own. Nevertheless, Yaacob disallowed Nancy from driving herself around. When Nancy had to attend classes, a dedicated driver would send her. The driver was not just responsible for driving; he was also Nancy's bodyguard.Nancy had been secretly observing the driver whenever he picked her up. The driver had a muscular body similar to a fitness trainer. It did make her feel very safe under his protection.Then again, she wondered why she needed someone to protect her. She thought about and listed down all of her enemies.Lucy was being taken out of jail due to her family claiming her to be a mental patient. She would be placed in an asylum wi
Teresa noticed something was wrong with Spencer. After their argument, Spencer did not return home.Teresa had thought about it and realized she had to depend on Spencer for the rest of her life because she had given up her acting career. Although Spencer did not own a media company anymore, his family had been in business for many years and had built up enough wealth to last ages.She tried calling Spencer. He did not pick up, so she called him again. However, Spencer had switched off his phone.The next day, Teresa tried to apologize, but he did not pay her any attention. He was obviously ignoring her at lunch. When the clock struck eight p.m., he left the house without bothering to tell her where he was going.He had still not returned by midnight. Teresa was lying on the bed by herself and could not sleep. Experience told her her husband was having an affair.A week later, Teresa showed up at the Getson Estate demanding to see Nancy. She was shouting and throwing a fit. The se
Julian's assumption was spot on. Yaacob did not make it back to attend the board meeting. Therefore, Nancy had no choice but to attend on his behalf again. Julian had asked many hard questions during her presentation to make the experience difficult for her.Nancy had only two days left to prepare, so she was not at all confident during the meeting. Julian's question had nearly led her to a meltdown.Luckily, Julian had relented, and Nancy had been able to finish her presentation.After the meeting, Julian stayed back and stopped Nancy from leaving again. He gave her a provocative look."This is just the appetizer. Get ready for what I have in store for you!" Julian warned.Shortly after Nancy returned to the office, trouble came knocking at her door. A project manager who worked for Yaacob had come to report that the project's accounts did not reflect its actual figures.The corporation requested that Nancy and Yaacob's department submit all details of every past project Yaacob
There was no way Nancy was going to accept Julian's offer Julian, especially when she was feeling helpless. Then again, her intuition told her that something bad had happened to Yaacob.Since she could not leave the country, she thought of Xander. In terms of romantic relationships, Xander was a douchebag. However, he treated his friends very well, especially those who were like his brothers.After listening to what Nancy had to say, he decided to fly to Europe. He was actually in the middle of something important and had nearly wrapped everything up. However, he knew he should not dally because Yaacob could be in danger."Are you going to borrow men from Randall, in case you get into trouble in Europe?" Nancy asked."Yes," Xander nodded. "That's Randall's place. It's going to be a lot easier if I have his men helping me."Nancy interlocked her fingers, feeling bad. "I was the one who did this to him!""That's right. You're certainly part of the reason why Yaacob and Randall had
To gather more evidence of Spencer's infidelity, Teresa hired people to stalk him. Finally, she learned his routine.After work, he would go on a date. The earliest he reached home was eleven at night. How clingy.Tonight, Teresa decided to follow Spencer, and she caught him red-handed.Spencer drove into a gated community to pick up the woman he was cheating with. Teresa could not follow him in. She waited for him to come out and saw the woman sitting beside him in the car. However, the window shielded the woman's face.Teresa continued to follow them until they reached a restaurant. Finally, when the woman exited the car, she could see the woman's face. Despite only seeing her from the side, Teresa was sure the woman was Nancy.They entered the restaurant and were seated at a table by the window.Teresa wound down her window and zoomed in on her camera to take a clear photo of both their faces."Let's see how you deny this, Nancy Lawson!"Teresa was frustrated and anxious.
