Chapter 944"We can't reach an agreement on the compensation, so there is no way to deal with it. We can only offer four hundred thousand dollars for compensation, but the family of the deceased wants one million dollars." The manager said."But it can’t be postponed any longer, which will have a bad impact on the company. It is best to solve it as soon as possible." Sherman replied."You are the person in charge of this project, so you will negotiate with them about the compensation, and then you report it to the company." The manager added. Sherman nodded and said, "I'll try."She invited the over-emotional family members to her office and made coffee for them. She said a few words of relief first and then mentioned the compensation.Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned the compensation, the family members strongly objected. Sherman understood their feelings and persuaded them patiently. But they still failed to reach an agreement.Her cell phone rang and it was Moriah who cal
Chapter 945Natalie didn't want Sherman and Billy to get too close, so she decided to go to the hospital in the afternoon.Dr. Zack left, leaving Sherman, Billy and Moriah in the ward.Sherman's phone rang. It was Kingsley. She couldn't answer it, so she sent him a text message. But she didn't tell him about what happened in Santabaca. Nor did she mention that she was pregnant.The high heels made crisp sounds on the floor. Sherman thought it was Sarah. When she looked up, she saw it was Natalie.She wore fashionable clothes, with gifts in her hand. She looked very dignified with a smile on her face, greeting Moriah respectfully. Moriah was indifferent to her, as if they were strangers.Billy subconsciously looked at Sherman, whose face was as calm as water.Then he looked at Natalie, frowning. He didn't want her to come here, because he had just eased his relationship with Sherman.Natalie obviously sensed the atmosphere in the ward. She said, "Ms. Day told me that you are he
Chapter 946She had made it quite clear. There was no way for her to forgive him. Moriah didn't continue asking more questions. Billy's chest kept heaving the whole time. Sherman turned to Billy and said, "You know me, and you know my temper. Ultimately, our relationship was going too smoothly, with no obstacles, no storms. So it couldn't withstand any disturbance. You can't resist the temptation. Now I can talk peacefully with you about the past because I have let it go completely. Do you think you should cling to the past anymore? What's the point?" Suddenly, she felt sick. She frowned and quickly ran out of the room. She threw up a lot until she could only vomit water. Sherman thought she'd better go have a check-up. It was convenient, as she was in the hospital. She went out and had a check-up. Soon the results came out. "Ms. Holmes, you are more than four weeks pregnant. Congratulations!" The doctor beamed at her. She had been pregnant for more
Chapter 947Natalie had something on her mind, so she did not have dinner. She stood outside the store with a cup of coffee for a long time, wondering who was the father of Sherman's baby!If it was Billy, no! She could not imagine such a result. Not only her body quivered, but also her hands. She could not bear to see her efforts go down the drain!But if it was Mr. Wright's baby, she would have no worries. Everything should end here.‘So, who was the baby's father?’ She wondered.Natalie's temples and heart pulsed. She thought about how to ask this question and who would be reasonable to ask it.After much deliberation, Natalie thought Dr. Zack would be the best person to ask because Dr. Zack and Sherman had known each other before.Moreover, Dr. Day and Dr. Zack were friends. It was reasonable for Dr. Zack to come across the medical report and congratulate Sherman.Then she made an appointment with Dr. Zack. They had dinner, and sex naturally followed.Dr. Zack was lustful,
Chapter 948The ward finally quieted down. Only Sherman and Dr. Zack were left in the room. The nurses had all gone out. "Ms. Holmes, are you seeing some else?" Dr. Zack asked. Sherman didn't know Dr. Zack much. They had only met a few times. They would smile and say hello if they ran into each other. And that was all. As for private chats, they were not such acquaintances. So Sherman just responded with a nod. Seeing that Sherman didn't want to continue the talk, Dr. Zack shut his mouth sensibly. He didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, he had already gotten what he wanted to know. After leaving the room, Dr. Zack called Natalie immediately and told her the latest news. Natalie was taking a break in the coffee room. When she heard the news from Dr. Zack, she was thrilled with joy. The anxiety and frustration that had plagued her for two days finally dissipated. She hadn't been so happy in a long time. She felt a sense of joy spreading throughout her bod
Chapter 949Moriah frowned. She sounded displeased, "Sarah!" "What are you shouting so loud for? She's pregnant now, with another man's child! Do you think there's any possibility that she will get back with Billy?" 'Pregnant?', Moriah was slightly stunned. She furrowed her brows. At that moment, Natalie, who had been silent, also spoke, "Although I'm not supposed to say anything here, I have to say it anyway. Ms. Holmes, if you had told Billy you were pregnant at the beginning, he would have given up a long time ago. But why didn't you tell him? Did you do it to satisfy your vanity, or were you deliberately enjoying the feeling of being pursued by men, or were you trying to get back at him?" "Since you know you shouldn't talk, then shut up! This is my business. You don't get to tell me what to do! The best thing you can do is to steal another woman's husband!" Sherman sneered. She didn't give Natalie a glance. However, Sarah immediately understood Natalie's wo
Chapter 950Billy was laughing, and it was loud. His face was slightly twisted. "You think I can't find another woman besides you?" Sherman took a sip of water and reminded him kindly, "I'm sure there's a perfect one out there right now." "Sherman!" Billy was enraged, and he roared. "You've always been a proud man. It is an exception this time. Rest well. There is no need to get mad. I still have things to do, so I'm leaving." Billy was, after all, a patient. His legs were weak. By the time he chased her out the door, Sherman was already gone. He stumbled. He fell off with one knee on the ground and he looked like a wounded beast. Moriah and the others came over, and together they hurriedly helped Billy to bed. Moriah showed a concerned look for his son, and Sarah showed indignation at Sherman. As for Natalie, she had a worried look on her face, but she was thrilled with joy inside. In addition, Moriah knew clearly now that it was impossible between
Chapter 951…Christian shook his head and turned on the TV. He must watch the news every day. It had been his habit for years.Then a piece of news was broadcast on the TV. Suddenly, Kingsley's nonchalant face changed color, and his eyebrows furrowed tightly.The next second, his tall body stood up. He stretched his strong arm and grabbed his black coat from the coat rack. Then he strode out the door…In Santabaca…The news was about a developing property. The construction was not yet finished, but the foundation was found to have sunk, and there were slight cracks in the walls. To make matters worse, a worker had fallen off the scaffolding to the ground and died. It was definitely breaking news. At the company front gate, a large group of journalists gathered there. They literally blocked the place. When they saw Sherman, the journalists all rushed up and surrounded her. It didn't matter when she started to be in charge of the project, at the beginning or in the middle
