In the room, Hazel told the servants to apply medication to Katie's wounds. After that, she got them to leave them alone.As the door closed, Hazel asked grimly, "Are you really pregnant?"Katie nodded. "I have a report from the hospital. If you need, I'll—""There's no need," Hazel interrupted her. She added curtly, "I don't think you'd have the guts to lie to us about this."Five years ago, Hazel had forced Simone to have an abortion. Later, Hazel had reached the age where she wanted to be a grandmother. After she'd seen Noah get older year after year and refuse to settle down, Hazel had indeed regretted her choice back then.Noah was finally married now, and his wife was also pregnant. If Hazel were to let Noah divorce Katie and make her abort the child, there was no telling how long she would have to wait before she could be a grandmother. Thinking about that, Hazel harrumphed. "Consider yourself lucky to be pregnant. If not, I would have made Noah divorce you."Katie low
All the shareholders and executives of Anderson Group agreed that Stephen should resume his position as CEO of Anderson Group.When everyone left after the meeting, Carmen asked, "How are you planning to deal with Noah? Do you want to hand this over to the police and take him to court?"Stephen looked at the sunny scenery out of the window, yet his gaze was extremely darkened."I don't think Grandpa would like to see that happen."Carmen furrowed her brows. "But if you let him go just like that, it might cause problems in the future." Although she didn't want to see the family at each other's throats, she knew that Noah would surely take this defeat to heart. If they did nothing about him now, there might be even more serious problems down the line.Stephen knew what Carmen's worries were, but she didn't know that the incident this time was a complete setup.Katie would never confess and point the finger at Noah. If that came to light, Yvonne would be embroiled in the case too.
"I mean that Katie didn't betray you. The video looked like it was livestreamed, but it was edited. The editing skills were so amazing that the video couldn't be deconstructed." Mark said calmly, "But it's pointless even if we prove that the video is fake. That night at the dinner, you had already tacitly admitted to the crimes.""What?" Noah was bewildered. "N—No. That wasn't …" When he thought back about what Katie said, he finally realized. Those people's plan had worked because they had taken advantage of his mistrust of Katie and his guilt!"How despicable!" Noah slammed the table furiously.Mark looked at Noah with some disdain in his eyes. If Noah had been smarter, he would have realized how unclear Katie's speech was that night.Everything was too late. This time, Noah had truly messed up.Mark collected his thoughts and said, "Think on the bright side. They would only do this because they don't have enough evidence to arrest you yet. If not, you would be in prison rig
Yvonne smiled with pursed lips. She placed the phone in her ear. "I hear that you've been really busy, Mr. Anderson.""Missed me?" Stephen asked directly. His tone had a subtle hint of amusement.Yvonne's heart skipped a beat. She replied glumly, "I'm busy too. I don't have time for unnecessary things.""But I missed you," Stephen said directly. "And also, Elvin."Yvonne didn't know how to respond, so she remained silent.The night was quiet. Stephen listened to the rustling noises on the other end of the line. His gaze turned tender. "I haven't been back at Anderson Group for a long time. Ms. Lynch has been handing over a lot of work to me, so I haven't had the time to see you both.""It's fine." Yvonne stretched on the couch. "I forgot to congratulate you.""It's all thanks to you." Stephen paused for a while. "So I had to come over personally to thank you.""What?" Yvonne was still reeling from the surprise.Stephen said, "I'm downstairs."Ten minutes later, he saw Yvo
A week later, Katie went to the gynecology department in sunglasses and a face mask. Although the bruise on her face was better, it was still quite obvious. She couldn't go out and get caught with a bruise on her face.Hazel had initially wanted to follow her to the hospital. But when she saw the bruise on Katie's face, she found it too embarrassing and changed her mind at the last minute. Thus, Katie went to the hospital alone. She had been pregnant for six weeks. They could start to observe the child's growth through ultrasound.Katie lay in bed, nervously looking at the doctor scanning her abdomen.The doctor said nothing. Katie's heart sank. She silently asked, "Doctor, how is the child?""There isn't a heartbeat yet. The situation isn't too good. Show the report to the doctor later. Perhaps the fetal development is just slower."Then, the doctor passed Katie some tissues to wipe away the gel on her abdomen.Katie was in a daze. It wasn't until the doctor called out to her
At the same time, news of Katie's child not having a heartbeat landed in Yvonne's ears.That night, Rachel received Yvonne's call. Yvonne had asked Rachel to get her people at the hospital to pay attention to Katie and let her know immediately when Katie visited the hospital.That was why Rachel had immediately called Yvonne upon hearing the news.Rachel was delighted. "I was just wondering why Katie was still at Anderson Mansion. It turns out that she's pregnant with Noah's child! "This child must be her lifesaver. If anything were to happen to the child, Katie would be done for. I feel so happy just thinking about it!"Before the phone ended, Rachel sent Katie's report to Yvonne. Yvonne looked through the report. The data was quite poor. It would be quite tough to try to keep the child."Katie would probably suffer if she took this report back home, but …" Yvonne paused for a while. "Katie wouldn't be that dumb."From that, she knew that Katie would probably find another
He used a pseudonym. I don't really know his real name. But …" Lexi furrowed her brows. "He had quite a strong presence."Lexi had met many wealthy people before, but she had never met a man with such a domineering presence as him. He carried himself with a strong, menacing air."Does he have a rosary on him?" Yvonne asked.Lexi thought for a while. "Yes.""Then that's him." Yvonne was secretly relieved. Luckily, she had mentioned it to Lexi beforehand. If not, things could have gone awry."You said his surname is Miller ..." Lexi suddenly thought about Jennifer's son, whom Yvonne had mentioned previously. "Is he the one you told me about?""Yes." Yvonne nodded.Lexi furrowed her brows even tighter. She said gently, "Actually, the other day, there were some other things I haven't told you yet, but you already left. I didn't have the chance to tell you later either. "After Jennifer lost her child, her mental health became unstable. From what I heard, she had been relying on
Yvonne sat opposite Mark and cut to the chase. "You hate me because I'm from the Miller family?""That's right," Mark replied honestly. "That bastard died too early, so I can only settle the score with you. I want all the things the Miller family owes me and my mother. Is there a problem?""You …" Yvonne hesitated. She furrowed her brows and looked at Mark for a while. "What did Jennifer say to you back then?"Mark snickered. "Didn't Lexi tell you? Don't you know how that bastard treated my mother?"Right at this moment, the server served Mark a cup of tea. He accepted the tea and leaned back, looking at Yvonne."He was the one who kicked my mother and me to the border. He wanted us to die on the way there. To him, we were just a smear on his perfect left. We were trash he didn't want to see."Mark sneered. "Too bad, things didn't go as he planned."All these years, he had only survived due to the painful memories from when he was young. Even up until that point, he could
