Nikolai's expression was grim and cold. He started recalling all his past interactions with Hailey.He had witness her humility, her pleas and her pride. His anger slowly subsided.If the baby was really his, he might have the blood of his biological son on his hands.Even if this child was not his, if he aborts it, what sets him apart from cold blooded murderers?Nikolai pressed his lips together and said coldly, "The operation is cancelled, you may leave now "The doctor's didn't dare to stay. They quickly opened the door and ran out of the operating room."Nikolai, I am getting old. This might be last chance to be a grandfather. For my sake, don't be impulsive, okay?"Old Master Coke sighed. He shook his head and walked out of the operating room with his walking cane.Nikolai clenched his fists tightly and punched the walls.Agnes sat in her wheelchair. She gritted her teeth and refrained herself from grimacing out of rage and resentment.It was so close. They were so close of gett
"My child, my child!..."Hailey laid on the hospital bed and struggled. She furrowed her eyebrows and agony and drops of sweat oozed from her forehead.Her hands were grabbing at the air, "Don't hurt my child, Nikolai Coke please don't hurt our child. Ah! My child!"She was suddenly startled awake and sat on the bed.The memory before she lost consciousness slowly came back to her. The fear she felt when she was pinned upon the bed and unable to struggle, was nightmarish. Hailey's eyes widened in horror.She suddenly turned her head and saw Nikolai sitting next to her and staring at her with an unemotional gaze."Nikolai Coke, you devil!"She roared angrily and rolled off the hospital bed. When she was about to lung at him, she realized that there was a needle at the back of her hand. It was connected to an IV line thar channeled fluid into her vein.She lifted her hand and pulled out the needle, then she rushed to Nikolai and grabbed his collar in a fit for madness."Nikolai Coke, it
"Hailey, it was you who insisted on marrying Nikolai. I thought you genuinely like Nikolai. I didn't expect you to do such a shameful thing. Before the public finds out about your affair, I will abort the baby in your belly. I must make it up to the Coke's family, or else I will he too ashamed to see them again!"Hailey trembled. She bit her lips and said, "Dad, why are you so sure that the child in my womb is a bastard?""What else could it be?" Mr George roared. "If the child in your belly is a Coke, why would Nikolai force you to have an abortion? Hailey stop lying to me. Follow me to the operating room!" He stepped forward and grabbed Hailey's hand.Hailey resisted with all her might.Was this what Agnes meant when she said that she would never allow her get what she wanted? Even though Nikolai didn't abort the child in her womb for Old Master Coke's sake, Agnes would incite their parent to do the dirty work?Didn't Mom and Dad know that she had stomach cancer?Since they assumed
"I'm curious. I have no parent, grandparents or great grandparents. Of course I don't have a wife nor a child. If I suddenly drop dead one day, who will inherit my properties?"A man in a silver suit leaned back in a leather sofa, crossed his legs, and asked the layer across the desk in a half heated mannerThe lawyer had never met such a young man with no relatives. After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "According to the law, brothers, sister's, nephews, nephews and even illegitimate children can inherit one's property""I do have a cousin but we don't speak to each other. Even so, is he qualified to inherit my property?""As long as he can prove his kinship with you""No way! Even if I pour money down the drain, I won't give it to him! " The man said coldly, "Just add a clause for me. If I did by accident, all of my property should be donated to the orphanage "The lawyer nodded and quickly arranged the will. The man lit a cigarette and turned around, only to find a woman stan
Hailey was deeply frightened. After a short while, she pursed her lips and looked at the man who saved her. She asked in surprise, "It's you!" It was the man who she saw writing will in the consulting room. Jacob pulled her up and said in annoyance, "Miss, if it weren't for me, you would have been killed by that truck" "Thank you...." Hailey swept away the dust on her cloth and said, "I will be more careful next time" Asher noticed that she seemed to be a daze. Her face was sickly pale, there was a drip left by the IV drip needle at the back of her hand. He pressed her lips together and said, "You seem unwell. Let me give you a ride home, in case you wander alone" "That's fine.." Hailey wanted to turn him down, but there was suddenly a sharp pain in her stomach. Her legs went limp. Asher grabbed her arm and led the her to the passenger seat of an SUV, "Don't worry. I'm not a bad guy. I will drive you back home safe and sound" Hailey knew that she was in a bad state, so she no l
Hailey turned to look at the young man. She could not imagine the type that of pain he had gone through at such a very young age. She was silent for a long time before she said, "It doesn't matter. Don't worry about those relatives. You can give yourself a home, get married and have children. Then you will have a family of three. Isn't it good to live happily with your loved ones?" "Get married and have a family?" Asher smirked. "I'm not even interested in women" He suddenly felt that what he had said was somewhat misleading, so he quickly added, "Of course, ok not interested in men either" Hailey felt that his joke was not funny at all. She pursed her lips in response to his self mockery. However, Asher was very curious about the woman beside him. He said while driving, "It's fate that has brought us together twice in one day. But I don't even know your name yet" Hailey was silent for a moment. Although not many people in Manila city knew her, her name was often seen on many ent
Hailey sat at the passenger seat. She was utterly at a loss for words."Odessa Russell, that's enough!" Asher came over and grabbed her arms. "Stop spreading rumors. I broke up with you amicably. I've given you all the compensation you deserve. Don't be so unreasonable""You think I'm being unreasonable?" Odessa was incensed. "When we were a couple, you hooked up with three different young girls and married women at the same time. You flirted with them and told me that you loved me. Aren't you a jerk? "Feeling a little guilty, Asher touched his nose. Life was long and tedious. If he didn't have some fun, how could he make his life worthwhile?When he was about to speak, he met Hailey's calm eyes. They were as clear as water and emotionless, but they frightened him for a reason.He pinched his nose bridge. "That's enough, Odessa. When we were dating you have benefitted a lot from our relationship. In fact, u have given you some business deals. If you're still upset, I would make you m
The driver of the Coke family sent Hailey to the hospital safe and sound. He also applied for a single deluxe ward for her. Moreover, he hired two private nurses to take care of her.The better Old Master Coke treated her, the more anxious she became.She was afraid that one day she would see the disappointment in Old Master Coke's face. She hoped that day would never come. But her body...She sighed and leaned against the hospital bed head, quietly watching the IV fluid that channeled into her body drip by drip.Jett entered the ward and saw Hailey lying on the bed and frowned, "President George, I heard that you're pregnant. Why do you look seriously ill?"" Hailey snapped out of her reverie and looked at her assistant who had worked for her for three years. She smiled and said, "There are some signs of premature birth. Isn't it a disease too? I haven't gone to the company for quiet some time. How is everything?""Not so good....." Jett opened the brief case he carried with him and
The fiasco started by Asher ended after Shirley ruined her own vocal cord.Hailey knew that she had done the best she could since she had sent people to take care of Asher. At this moment, the most important thing for her was to live her own life.******* ********"Zaney, honey, your momma is pregnant...you will have a little sibling soon, okay" Mrs Coke was the first to whisper into Zane's ears."Yahhhhh, grandma" Zane grinned. He rushed to hug Hailey, his little hands wrapped around Hailey's hips as he nuzzled her nose against Hailey's belly.Mrs Coke smiled.Nikolai thanked Doc Cyril and walked out of the office, Mrs Coke was the one who held Hailey while Nikolai had Zaney in his arms.It was indeed a beautiful sight!The most beautiful scene Nikolai had ever imagined••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••2months After....These past two months were the best for Hailey. She had a good reconciliation with her father and her lost Angie, Angie got serious mental issues and even the doctors c
After taking Hailey out of the national registration department, Nikolai did not bring her home directly, he drove her straight to the hospital.Although Asher said that pill would only make Hailey lose her voice temporarily and had no other side effects, Nikolai was still worried.Besides, Hailey had been kidnapped by Prince Peter. He did not know if they had hurt her, so he had to let the doctor check her carefully before he could be rest assured.When she got in the car and found that it was not the way home, Hailey still could not utter a word.She could only sit in the shotgun seat and keep waving her hand at Nikolai who was driving to show thar except for her voice she was very healthy without any discomfort.But how could Nikolai listen to her? He only told her that she should take a rest in the car first and then drive her to the hospital for an examination before taking her to a good meal.Hailey was annoyed but she couldn't say anything. She could only stare at Nikolai and c
"No, Hailey, don't listen to her nonsense,I really didn't so it."Asher was very anxious at the moment. He tried to hold Hailey's hand but Nikolai beat him to it.Nikolai's pulled Hailey into his embrace. His tone was cold and indifferent as he said, "Let's not discuss the matter of framing me for the time being. However, if Hailey is unable to say anything, what did you do to her?"In the beginning, Hailey gave him no reply, making Nikolai assume that she was disappointed in him.But since Shirley came, Hailey looked agitated yet she still remained silent which made Nikolai feel suspicious.He was completely sure that Hailey was drugged. When Asher started explaining yo Hailey, she dud not even question him. She simply had a flustered and disappointed look in her eyes.Nikolai knew Hailey well. He knew that it was not Hailey's true reactions unless she could not speak at all.Hailey who had been protected tightly in Nikolai's embrace sighed helplessly. She looked at Asher with deeper
The four of them met in a private room in the private club. A man who looked like Doug sat at the head of the table without saying a word. He had quiet a bit of imposing manner. That was the George's family second uncle- Hayes George. "Hayes, I'm here with my two children." Doug frowned. During those years, that brother of his had been in noy much contact with him and his brothers all the time. He did not expect that they would meet in such a way. Hayes George glanced a both zephira and Doug coldly. When he looked at Hailey, he said coldly, "Hailey right? You'd better not show off your ability given that you're young. Even if you've just entered the company, you should still act sensibly" The incident about Nikolai of the Cokes family and Hailey of the Georges cooperation had been discussed vehemently in the upper class in Manila city. Everyone knew that Nikolai had used a great sum of money to gain a beauty's affection. If it was not for Nikolai's powerful tactics and the support
Austin compromised. Seeing that, Hailey looked cold but she did not push him. She said, "Then let's deal with Xyla first. Although Xyla is a member of our design apartment she has been in the company for five years. During this period of time, she has been using other's design drafts. Thus time around she has brought trouble to our George's cooperation. I decided to dismiss her. Do you have any opinions?" Even if she could not deal with Austin directly, she still had a way to deal with Xyla. In addition, that was a good opportunity. Since zephira had a soft personality as her sister, Hailey must be tough in the company and show her strength to others. Thus, others would not think that they were easy to be bullied and do the same thing as Austin again. The others witnessed how Hailey acted in a slick manner and suppressed Austin in a reasonable manner. Now that she had said something more, the others would only be convinced by her. So they said one after another, "I don't have any o
Reinvigoration - the most perfect work of art would always go through twists and turns.The signature was the name of the cooperation between the Xavier family and George's cooperation.Mer champ looked at Xyla in disbelief. When did the design department hand in such a design draft to the Xavier family? How come he dud not know anything about that?Xyla did not bring her cell phone to that conference room. At that time, she began to panic when she saw Mr champs expressionBefore she could ask, Hailey looked at Xyla with a smile and instructed. "Take this pen drive and insert it to the computer over there"Xyla had a plan in her mind, so Hailey must have her own purpose in doing so. Otherwise why would Hailey hide such a thing from the design department? Hence she did not obey Hailey's order for a long time.Hailey raised her eyebrows but she did not lose her temper. She inserted the pen drive into the computer and turned on the audio software. A woman's voice appeared on the screen.
Angie had taken the medicine for sobering up before she drank the wine, which was all to make Xyla lower her vigilance and disguise.Xyla replied directly, "Do what? Does anyone know that I plagiarized? Think about it. I have to thank you for providing me with the design drafts. Otherwise, why would I be sitting in my current position and ruin that damn Yona reputation?""I'm telling you! If you're smart, you should rely on mr. You'd better hand over the design drafts to me obediently. When Hailey is driven out of the company tomorrow, I will be the manage. I will not pursue the matter that you betrayed me."Upon hearing that, Angie frowned slightly. How could Xyla accurately explain that she would drive Hailey out of the company during the following day? Angie could not help but ask, "Why did you say that?"Xyla was almost fully drunk because if the alcohol so she did not reply to that anymore. "Haha..."She fell asleep with her head tilted.Angie stopped the recording and sent the a
When Xyla was going downstairs, although she was still not feeling well, there was a hint of joy on her face. But she only left after she thought of what he told her. He claimed that Hailey did not provide any design which the Xavier family was satisfied with. And when she thought about Angie, she had a plan in her mind.In tbe past few days, she did not see any work of Angie, but who knee if Angie had cooperation with Hailey in private?Her heart was filled with schemes. Angie's appearance had long disrupted her state of mind.Upon entering the office, Xyla suddenly heard Hailey's voice."In order to welcome Angie, I will treat you to dinner today. Let's have a meal"As soon as the manager spoke, everyone naturally agreed.Xyla smirked. Unexpectedly, someone gave her a chance just when she had a scheme in her mind.Angie was a lightweight drinker. She would say anything after drinking a few glasses of wine.When it was time to get off work, she silently tidied up the design paper on
After that day, Hailey's relationship with Nikolai was improved rapidly.Nikolai began to contact Hailey rapidly by using the communication tool though he was an introvert. He mostly greeted Hailey good morning but Hailey was quite warmed to that.She had to admit that she felt something for Nikolai again.But as for how the relationship between the two of them would develop in the future, she still had some hesitation. The past was still deep pain for her, and when she thought about that, she was grieved.She could not have more contact with him for the sake of the hurt Zaney had suffered.Yes, that was it. Now, she still had cooperation with him because of the project of the diamond factory. She could not just fall with him directly.She thought that she might need some timr to figure out what she was thinking.Hailey was in a dilemma, but the daily work had exposed her heart which wavered constantly.On several occasions, she forgave Yvonne's careless mistake and carefully helped h
