Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 13 She won't be understood through rumors and gossip
"Lately, I've been having a streak of bad luck and troubles. Last night, Harold's fireworks and concern made me feel a rare sense of warmth and care. I pondered for a moment, then took the paper bag from Harold's hand. Fiona said, "Thank you, I will carefully choose a birthday gift."At that moment, a drunk person in the car unbuckled their seatbelt and leaned against the window on this side. Harold jumped in surprise, clutching his chest.Fiona quickly explained, "Don't be scared, he's just my friend, and he's drunk."Harold, waving his hand, said, "It's alright, you go take care of him. I'll wait for your message."Fiona replied, "Alright." Fiona went back around to the other side, got in the car, and pulled Ashton back. 'Stud! Major stud! I have to bring him back home in the car!' Ashton slurred. Fiona quickly grabbed him. 'Behave, there's no stud, you've mistaken!' She fastened her seatbelt. 'Uncle Tom, let's go!' Uncle Tom swiftly started the car and made a stylish U-turn. Harold,

Ten minutes later. Tony Potter hung up the phone. Then he looked at the people surrounding him."Was she lying?" Miss Ford asked.She had put a lot of effort into the R&K project, and the only person she had been in contact with was the vice president. Fiona was nothing more than a flower vase kept by the CEO. How could she have access to Newton, who rarely appeared in public?Tony Potter shook his head in confusion. "No... R&K did accept our proposal."There was a moment of silence around. Then, the group screamed with laughter, ecstatic!"That's not right. Didn't we hear that Fiona conspired with outsiders and tampered with our data? Why would she help us get the contract back?" Miss Ford interrupted the crowd's excitement."Why else? I heard Mr. Solomon was going to send her to prison, and she got scared!" Tony Potter's assistant, Donald, sneered. "Now that she's been dumped by Mr. Solomon and lost her support, of course, she won't dare to let anything happen to our contract!"“It

Without hesitation, Darwin walked directly towards the elevator. Once Darwin left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "Where is Mr. Solomon going? Without that new secretary, and not taking you either," someone asked. Jackie lowered her voice and replied, "Picking up his fiancée, Miss Ross." "His fiancée?" "Yes." Everyone fell silent. "Ah, Secretary Woods really isn't worthy of him," someone murmured. Jackie sternly said, "Amy, stop saying that. If someone with ulterior motives hears you, you'll lose your job!" Amy quickly shut his mouth.The elevator reached the B1 floor, and outside was Darwin's exclusive parking space. He got into the car. He rarely drove himself; most of the time, Fiona used this car. There were no traces of her belongings left in the car, just like his house. She had cleaned them up, but... Her scent still lingered faintly, a unique fragrance that belonged only to her. In the beginning, Darwin thought she was wearing perfume, but after a while, he realized that

Fiona began by mentioning the Swiss bank account opened in the name of Donald's mother. She then brought Mr. Shepherd from Harvey’s into the picture. There was no intention of involving Donald in any way. This caught Donald off guard. Throughout the afternoon, Donald had been feeling uneasy. He vaguely sensed that blaming Fiona was no longer a viable option.However, he was confident that he had covered his tracks perfectly, leaving Fiona with only suspicions. What use were suspicions without evidence? Donald had long prepared himself for Fiona's pushback."Donald, is that you?" Tony Potter paused for a moment, looking at Donald in disbelief.Donald was someone he had personally nurtured. After the incident of data tampering, he suspected everyone except Donald. But now, thinking back, wasn't it Donald who went to the president's office to get the data?"Boss, it wasn't me!" Donald denied outright, then pointed at Fiona with a stern look. "It was clearly your own mistake, and now you'

Because of the blood loss, after the wound was stitched, she had to receive an IV drip.She only agreed after confirming that the liquid being infused wouldn't affect the baby.With the arrival of fall and winter, there were many people with colds. The infusion center was crowded. Fiona found a corner and curled up there. She was exhausted and blood-deprived, making her drowsy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, Miss Ford, who had been gone for a while, came back in a hurry. She bought a can of chicken soup from somewhere.“Secretary Woods, it’s still hot. Drink a few sips to regain your strength!”Fiona couldn't help but smile and cry at the same time.“I’m fine, you should go back to work.”"What work? You helped me retrieve R&K's order, the commission is enough for me to live a comfortable life!"Miss Ford laughed. Then she remained silent for a moment. "I wrongly accused you before, I'm sorry," she finally said.Fiona shook her head but didn't speak. It was impossible for her t

After a moment, Fiona got into the car. It was Darwin's car, and his assistant, Jackie, was driving. Throughout the journey, Jackie expressed everyone's concern for her and his anger towards Donald's actions.Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the entrance of Fiona's apartment building. Jackie got out of the car and offered to hold an umbrella for Fiona. Fiona smiled and took the umbrella, saying, 'My right hand is fine.'Jackie looked at Fiona with concern and said, "Mr. Solomon said you can take a few days off.""No, I want to finish handing over the work quickly," Fiona shook her head.Jackie felt somewhat helpless. Fiona nodded and was about to leave."Secretary Woods!" Jackie called out to her.Fiona turned around and asked, "Is there something else?""Mr. Solomon is actually very worried about you," Jackie said, as if afraid Fiona wouldn't believe him. He added, "Seriously!"Of course, Fiona believed it. Even if you keep a small cat or dog by your side for five years, you

In the end, Ashton muttered in frustration, "They will compensate. My boss... is very generous." Fiona smiled and pushed a cup of mountain-style ice cream in front of Ashton. "Calm down.""You're just too easy-going. Those brats in your company dare to throw everything at you."Thanks to Ashton, they discovered the bank account belonging to Donald's mother."As a child, the three of us used to take a stroll on this road, holding hands after dinner," Ashton patted a sturdy Chinese parasol tree on the side of the road. "Back then, these trees weren't as robust."Ashton's father passed away in a car accident when she was ten years old. A few years later, her mother met a wealthy businessman and remarried. It was also the year Ashton was able to study abroad with the help of her stepfather."Missing your dad?" Fiona gently asked.Ashton bit her lip and nodded slightly. "Very much."Fiona caressed her hand to offer comfort.She didn't know who her own father was. Her mother had returned to

Fiona ended the video call. She sat on the sofa, dazed for a moment. Normally, Grandma Solomon would live in a nursing home for everyone’s convenience. She would only go back to the old house if something major happened in the Solomon family. At that moment when Darwin took back the phone, Fiona clearly saw the camera and Miss Ross looking in this direction.So...It wasn’t a business trip. Did they get engaged today? What was Darwin thinking, why did he make Grandma, in front of Miss Ross, video call her? Has he gone crazy? And he's a complete scumbag, not considering the girl at all? She touched her belly."Your father is really something!"After cursing, she felt that she shouldn't have said bad things about her father in front of the child. Annoyed, Fiona threw the phone aside and went back to her room to sleep.Later that night, the phone on the sofa buzzed twice. Darwin sent a WhatsAPP message."You don't have to move, I will transfer that house to you.""Go and cash the 20 mill

As Ashton was sorting through the gifts, she too was reflecting on everything."Isn't my life just a series of bizarre twists?" she mumbled, looking down. "Finding out Chris was secretly going on blind dates behind my back, then breaking up. Watching him get engaged, and seeing my own mom take his fiancée's side, leading to our fallout. That should have been my rock bottom, right?"Fiona nodded in agreement.The day Ashton cut ties with her mom, she'd even bought her a plane ticket. She wanted to send her to some tranquil getaway for a much-needed vacation to relax and rejuvenate."Who would've guessed? Right after the falling out with my mom—a spur-of-the-moment decision—I ended up marrying Kenny. I was so down on my luck, I thought, 'How much worse can it get?'” Ashton chuckled ironically, then softened a bit. "But, who could have predicted how good Kenny would turn out to be? How he'd respect every single wish of mine."It was a kind of care that she hadn't felt since her dad had l
Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 258 The Fiery Passion of a Godfather**
Fiona was actually surprised. After all, she wasn't a saint without desires. It all made sense to just go with the flow and do what naturally came next. She might only berate herself later for succumbing to her cravings. But Darwin stopped, and that was beyond her expectations. In the past, this would have been unthinkable. It seemed as though... he really had learned to respect her.She pressed a quick, rewarding peck onto Darwin's lips, smiled, and teased, 'Mr. Solomon, maybe you should head to the bathroom?”Her smile was captivating and bright, causing Darwin's past five years of distressing memories to resurface. He pulled her into his arms again."Wife, I miss you so much, I'm starting to lose my mind," Darwin's voice shook, betraying his emotional turmoil. "I keep seeing your shadow at home, but when I chase after it, there's nothing... Thank goodness... this time I've really got you in my arms."Fiona listened to his voice laced with sobs, her heart aching with each word."Ser
Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 257 Leaving a Mark
Darwin had always been self-centered in matters of intimacy. Whenever he desired, she couldn't refuse.In her haziness, Fiona felt like she was back in those times again."Don't be afraid."Sensing her anxiety and unease, Darwin softened, kissing her lips again and coaxing her with his gentle voice, "I won't force you. I'll wait until you're ready to truly accept me."In Fiona's misty eyes, desire began to cloud her vision. Her gaze often seemed distant and disconnected. As Darwin kissed her, her mind turned into mush, instinctively she kissed him back softly.Mr. Solomon just stood there, silent, his towering frame taut."You know exactly how to torture me," Darwin groaned, voice hoarse, as he peppered her neck with more fervent kisses."Be gentle..." Fiona clenched his hand. "You'll leave marks!"Darwin chuckled lowly, then tilted her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze, "Why fear my marks? Scared that man will see and get jealous?""No, it's not that…" Fiona turned away with a sligh
Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 256 A Taste of Sweetness
Once finished, the anxiety within Lilian began to subside.Just wait a little longer, Lilian. All these nuisances will soon vanish.And then, you'll be there for Darwin with all your gentle warmth. He’ll eventually be moved, realizing you're the one for him...Lilian took a deep breath and exhaled.On her way out, she passed by the flower shop where Darwin made his purchase. From a distance, she had only glimpsed the type of flowers Darwin had bought and decided to buy the same kind.Inside the apartment, Darwin silenced his phone and tossed it aside."Why didn't you tell me? Worried I'd take Lilian's side?" he pulled her close and asked earnestly.For five years, she had lived in Lilian’s shadow, a daily reminder that she was merely a stand-in and that Lilian was the more important one—a notion that had likely seeped into her very marrow.This realization made Darwin wish he could travel back in time to give his younger self a good thrashing.He
Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 255 Buying Peace of Mind
"The only person I've ever schemed for was Solomon. What could possibly make you believe I'd harm someone I don’t even know, like Miss Rhoads?" Lilian asked. "If that's truly how you see me, maybe it'd be better if you just kicked me out of Solomon's life..."Darwin had promised to protect Lilian.Hearing her say this, he felt a twinge of guilt.But...Darwin feared even more that because of the thorn that was Lilian, his wife’s heart, which had just started to soften toward him, would turn cold again.He was walking on eggshells just to avoid pushing her away.So..."I'm sorry, Lilian," Darwin said flatly. "There's no room for discussion."Lilian sat frozen in the car, as if her blood was slowly turning to ice.Even in her early days back in the country, Darwin had never protected Fiona like this.He used to drop everything to be at Lilian's side whenever she needed him, leaving Fiona behind.Now...Even when she tried to befriend Che
Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 254 Striking First?
Fiona gazed at Darwin, his face inexplicably brimming with pride."Lilian places great value on the RH Company project." She kept to herself the fact that Lilian had plagiarized her proposal, but Fiona wasn't about to let it slide.This was simply a clash of interests, and she felt no need to drag Darwin further into the fray, avoiding the mess of tangled priorities."Hmm," Darwin's smile faded slightly, "Her proposal is indeed impressive, but it pales in comparison to yours."Fiona studied him intently, searching his face for any hint of romantic sentiment towards Lilian.Her search ended in vain."What are you looking at?" Darwin pulled her closer by the waist, gazing up at her.Fiona brushed her fingertips gently across his cheek, causing him to nuzzle into her hand like a kitten seeking affection."Don't stay away too long, come back soon," he whispered softly, his voice barely a murmur.What he truly wanted to say was, "Don't leave."Thei
Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 253 Withdrawing Solomon
Darwin had no clue about the sunny-side up egg story. Upon hearing it, his gaze immediately sought Fiona's.Fiona was clutching her burger too tight."Oh, why bring that up, mother?" the daughter-in-law chided softly, "I'm sorry about this.""It's fine," Fiona shook her head gently.Seeing Granny distressed, she excused herself to rest.Fiona stared at her burger, lost in thought.She had never imagined it.Her death had cast such a shadow, not only over her loved ones, but over those beyond her immediate circle.“It’s okay.” Darwin soothed her gently.Fiona cast another glance toward where the Hamburger Lady had disappeared and bowed her head to eat slowly.If the Hamburger Lady was so affected...What about Darwin?She had never been fully convinced of Darwin's love for her. It always seemed to her that his treatment of her was nothing more than possessiveness.Like an old belonging he didn’t want to discard, nor did he want anyo
Obedient Surrogate No More Chapter 252 The Entanglement Continues
Darwin sat in the treatment room with Fiona sitting beside him, scrolling through messages on her phone, while a doctor attended to Darwin's wound."The wound's not too deep, but it's not superficial either. You'll have to watch your diet," the doctor advised after dressing the wound."Got it, thank you for your help," Fiona put away her phone and politely thanked the doctor.Then they left the treatment room together.Darwin's face was brimming with relief, "We really didn't have to come to the hospital for this."Fiona didn't look at him.Leading the way, she said over her shoulder, "I'm here to prevent someone from using their wounds as an excuse to get me to come back."At that,the joy visibly drained from Darwin's face."I would never do that," he murmured softly.Fiona finally stopped and turned to look at him, "Mr. Solomon, you're becoming shamelessly unprincipled. Aren't you embarrassed to say such things?""Hungry?" Darwin steppe

Furthermore, we aim to highlight the significant contributions that RH Company has made to Armie Country and its citizens during challenging times. Monsoon Investment sincerely wishes to join hands with the esteemed shareholders of RH Company, to usher in the next era of brilliance,” Fiona concluded her address with a respectful bow.As she stepped down from the podium, the auditorium was quieter than expected.In contrast to the heated reactions to Lilian’s proposal, Fiona’s approach landed like a heavy punch right at the heart of RH Company’s shareholders. Lilian's face turned particularly sour.Chelsea's new strategy represented a complete shift.While the first proposal seemed, at first glance, to have a stronger pull on pe
