Third person POV:As soon as Katrina returned from the client company, she saw Lillian, who was in a daze on the sidewalk. She gently stepped on the brake and parked the car on the side of the road. She rolled down the window and called out to her.However, Lillian did not react in the slightest, as if she had tuned out the surrounding noise.Katrina had no choice but to start the car again and drive towards Dawn Army.She went straight up to the top floor, handed the file in her hand to Ismail and said respectfully, "Alpha, the contract has been signed. Please have a look.""Just leave it on my table. I'll check later." Ismail was busy replying to an email and did not even raise his head."Well... Alpha, can I talk to you about something personal?" Katrina asked hesitantly. There was a rule in the company that no private affairs could be discussed during working hours. Besides, it was not a big deal, so it was not necessary to tell him."Didn't I tell you that you don't have to look
Lillian's POV:During dinner, even though the swelling on my cheeks had reduced and the redness had faded, Queen Meylani could still tell something was amiss. She asked with concern, "Lillian, what happened to your face?"I touched my cheek and shook my head. "Nothing, it's probably some allergy.""What are you allergic to? Have you applied medicine?""It's probably because of the recent cold weather. Yes, I've already applied the medicine." I lowered my head guiltily.Although Queen Meylani treated me well for the child's sake, I still felt a little guilty because sooner or later, I would have to terminate the pregnancy.I could not imagine what kind of reaction Queen Meylani would have when she found out that I had gotten rid of the baby. Would she be so angry that she would strangle me to death?"What's wrong? Don't you have an appetite?" Queen Meylani glanced at me."No, it's not like that." I shook my head and lowered my head to eat.It was better to talk about these things at a
Lillian's POV:"How sure are you that we'll definitely break up?" A cold voice suddenly sounded behind me.My body tensed up and I froze on the spot.Kayden did not expect Ismail to come out of nowhere. He smiled awkwardly at Ismail and said, "Hey, Ismail."Ismail walked to my side with a slight smile on his lips and my coat in his arms. He gently put his arm around my shoulder while glancing at Kayden. "I'm asking you a question. How sure are you that we will definitely break up?"Kayden opened his mouth and smiled awkwardly. "I heard that... you and Lillian don't get along, so...""Is that why you think that she and I will break up?""I'm sorry..." Kayden rubbed his hands uneasily and smiled at me. Then, he said, "I just happened to meet Lillian here. I was just making small talk. If there's nothing else, I'll go first. Goodbye."After that, Kayden turned and left the cinema.Although Kayden left, I still did not move.Ismail looked down at me and asked coldly, "Are you going to giv
Lillian's POV:"Yes, yes, I understand," Mira immediately replied.Queen Meylani looked exhausted. She stood up from the sofa and was ready to go back to her room to get some rest when she said, "You can accompany your mother upstairs to have a private talk. I want to go back to my room and lie down, so I won't disturb you.""Your Majesty." Mira hurriedly stopped her. Queen Meylani sat back on the sofa and glanced at her. "Do you need anything else?""Here's the thing." Mira once again wrapped her arms around mine. She smiled as she looked at Queen Meylani and said, "I can tell that Chloe is unhappy staying in this mansion, so I was thinking of bringing her home to the Rosenburg family for a few months. The mood of a pregnant woman will affect the growth of the foetus. I only have one precious daughter. Of course, I hope that she will give birth to a beautiful and healthy baby. That's why I want to..."Queen Meylani looked at me and then at Mira. She said somewhat unhappily, "You say
Lillian's POV:"That's right, you can't keep this baby!" Mira walked in and stood beside Chloe. "Lillian, don't think that we don't know what you're up to. If this baby turns out to be a boy, you're going to use him as a bargaining chip. By then, Chloe's future will be ruined.""I promise that if you let me keep this baby, I will never step into this city ever again.""I don't believe you!" Mira said as she walked towards the desk. She picked up the cheque on the desk and tore it into pieces. She sneered and said, "The gold and silver jewellery that the Amus family has given her is worth more than this cheque. In the end, everything belongs to Chloe. You don't have to waste your money."Jadir frowned and said in a warning tone, "Mira, watch it." Mira sneered. "What's wrong? Do you pity her? Why do you feel sorry for an outsider?"Jadir was helpless and could only shut his mouth.Mira turned to me, gritted her teeth, and said, "Don't try to change your mind. We're going to the hospita
Lillian's POV:"What's with your attitude? This is my home. How dare you drive me out?" Chloe roared, as if she could not accept that I had turned my back on her.However, no matter how hard she screamed, I still refused to take the quilt off my head, let alone pay attention to her.My cell phone on the table rang. It was the ringtone that I had set for Ismail. I immediately removed the quilt covering my head and wanted to reach out to grab my phone, but Chloe got to it first."Why are you in such a hurry to answer the phone? Don't tell me that you've fallen in love with him.""Give me the phone." I glared at her."I don't blame you. Even I've fallen in love with such an excellent man like him at first sight, let alone a poor girl like you."My phone suddenly stopped ringing. However, less than ten seconds later, it rang again. It was another call from Ismail.Chloe stared at my phone, her eyes burning with anger.I swallowed hard. I stared at her and said, "Miss Chloe, let me remind
Lillian's POV :I knew my question was too sudden, but I really wanted to know the truth. Although Seth's words dispelled a lot of doubts for me, I still needed to ask Ismail that question.I opened my mouth and stammered, "For example... have you ever accidentally killed anyone?"After another period of silence, he finally spat out a sentence, "I've killed many people before. What? Are you afraid of me?"I involuntarily let out a gasp when I heard his answer. My fingers holding the phone tightened and I asked in a hoarse voice, "What kind of people are they?""They are people from all walks of life. The day before yesterday, one of my debtors was forced to jump off a building, and now he's still in the ICU." Ismail's voice was full of self-mockery. "What? Does that make you even more afraid of me?"I was stunned for a long time before I shook my head. "No, I'm not afraid of you. I've heard rumours that you are ruthless and unscrupulous, so... I was just curious.""If I wasn't cruel a
Lillian's POV :After filling up the form, I was taken to the operating room by the doctor.This was my second time in an operating room. When I saw the surgical instruments on the table, my heart began to pound in my chest."Miss Rosenburg, please lie down." The doctor pointed to the operating table next to her and said, "I'll inject you with some intravenous anesthesia. It will take less than 30 seconds for it to kick in. The procedure is very short. Just think of it as taking a nap and when you wake up, you can leave the hospital."I looked at the needle in her hand. Once the anesthesia was injected into my body, I would no longer have the ability to protect my baby. I would be at the mercy of others and my baby would be gone.In other words, when I wake up, I would no longer be pregnant!"Miss Rosenburg, are you alright?" The doctor asked politely."I..." I stammered and slowly walked backwards. "I'm sorry, I can't do this..." Then, I turned and ran for the door.I did not want t
