“You’re going to quit the moment you get married? Didn’t you swear you’d never be a housewife?”We used to talk about life, and I knew Heidi had shared my views. She also thought that even after getting married, a woman should have her own career, otherwise she would be looked down upon by others.I remembered that when I got married, Grandma had once told me to stay at home and not to work.Although I knew she meant well, I insisted on working. It was precisely because of my love for work that I was able to survive those three years Cindy tortured me for.She gave me a wry smile. “Those were just things we said as young and immature girls. I’ve changed my mind now, and I think my family is more important than my career. I’m really sorry, Ms. Wanda, but I’ve made up my mind.”I thought it would be inappropriate for me to try to persuade her anymore at this point, so I said regretfully, “Alright then. Type up your resignation letter and hand over your duties to the next-in-line bef

Theo frowned slightly, but he did not say anything.The girl quickly apologized. “I’m sorry, Mr. Grant. It’s lunch break now, so I thought you wouldn’t be in the office anymore. I bought a few books to put in your bookcase for you.”Looking like she felt a little awkward now, she placed all the books on the bookcase and gave me an uneasy look before turning around and leaving.After she left, I scanned the office’s surroundings and said, “How alive and vibrant! This all looks pretty nice.”He put down his cutlery, put a frivolous look on his charming face, and pulled me into his arms. “Hmm, why do you sound so jealous?”I shook my head slightly. “No, I just think you and your office have changed so suddenly recently. Both feel much warmer now. It really is a pretty good change.”He smirked as he held me in his arms. “These are all indicators of life. They’re really resonating with your current state, aren't they?”I did not say anything. Although I knew what he meant by that, it

After hearing what I had said, Miss Woods’ somewhat morose expression lit up.She said with a smile, “Young people like you don’t enjoy cooking. You’re pregnant now and shouldn’t be eating out for all meals of the day. That’s so unhealthy. Give me a moment, there’s still half a chicken in the fridge. I’ll make soup for you right away.”“Okay.” I smiled and followed her into the kitchen.“As long as you don’t mind having me around, I’ll stick around to take care of the two of you and not leave again. I believe the late old lady will be pleased with such an arrangement too,” Miss Woods talked nonstop as she cooked.“Oh, please do, Miss Woods. You’d better keep your promise. I was hoping you’d take care of my child for me.” I leaned on the doorframe to chat with her.Being needed was a blessing for the elderly!Though I was not hungry, I drank a big bowl of soup after Miss Woods finished boiling the soup. By the end of it, I felt as though my belly was about to burst open.I then b

“She never tells me where she’s going. The two of us don't communicate much if we’re not at home together. You’re acting a little weird. What exactly is going on? Has she kidnapped your husband and hidden him away for her daughter?”“I just received a call, and I think they got into a car accident. Can you find out the specifics for me?”I was not in the mood to joke around with him. Mason and Zedd had not picked up my calls, so he was the only person I could find that might be able to help.“Okay, I’ll investigate immediately,” he said solemnly, putting aside his previous unruly demeanor.After hanging up the call, my heart continued to pound. I was unsure if I was nervous or afraid. I clenched the phone so hard that my palms became sweaty, and I paced back and forth in the room anxiously.Ten minutes later, Xander called me and said, “I’ve booked the earliest flight tomorrow morning. Are you coming along?”There was a thump in my heart. I had still been feeling quite hopeful ju

Although I was terrified when we first got on the road, I had calmed down now.Slowly, I recalled the time when Grandma was still alive. Afraid that Theo would leave me alone after she was no longer around, she opened a small company that produced shampoos and gave me 50% of the equity.However, due to poor management afterward, the business closed down in just less than two years.As I did not contribute money nor took part in the management, I did not pay much attention to this matter. When Theo told me that the company went bankrupt and the site would be given to Zedd, I did not think much about it at the time.I did not expect that this company still existed and something this serious had happened.When I arrived at the Administration for Industry and Commerce, a man in civilian clothes sat across from me.“Ms. Wanda, we learned that your company’s product caused a customer to experience serious hair loss due to issues in product quality two years ago. The customer eventually

Having said that, he fell silent again before saying, “If you’re smart, Wanda, you should know that sometimes, if you insist on doing something, you’ll only end up being the unlucky one in the end.”“What do you mean by 'I'll end up being the unlucky one in the end’?” I felt like I was being pushed into a major conspiracy. Most importantly, I had no idea what they were up to at all.Zedd did not say any more and hung up straight away.Seeing the crowd, I felt a little afraid and pulled out my phone to call Cecilia.“Where are you? I was just about to call you.” As soon as the call connected, Cecilia’s anxious voice was heard.“Downstairs of Grant Corporation,” I replied weakly.“Don’t go in. I watched the news and this is huge. I’ll come and pick you up immediately.”“No, I’m not going in and am on the other side of the road. I drove here. You don’t have to come out.” I did not want to go in when the situation was this bad either. Therefore, I revved up the engine and drove to C

A big part of Salt City’s economy depended on the Grants. With the closure of shopping malls, hospitals, and the construction industry, the entire city was almost at a standstill. Although the government had stepped in, the stockholders were convinced and wanted to see Theo in person.There was nothing I could do but read the news every day. I was all over the internet, and I was too afraid to go to the company. Moreover, there were a lot of things that I could not figure out. All I could do was stay indoors in an anxious state.Cecilia would buy various groceries every day and cook all sorts of dishes for me. Her culinary skills had improved considerably, and I could almost swallow the food she made.“You shouldn’t get too anxious. You’re pregnant, and your belly is growing bigger and bigger every day. Your health is of utmost importance. The things going on now are completely out of your control,” Cecilia said and comforted me.I nodded, but I had no appetite to eat. Although I u

“Forget it. You’re no VIP, so who would bring Grant Corporation down because of you? They would be offending Theo. In Salt City, that’s a name that can induce fear in anyone who hears it!” Cecilia refused to believe me.Cecilia did not know the reason for it, nor did I have the energy and time to explain it to her.I had doubts in my mind. Xander said that Grayson and Petra were in the ICU as well. Would they really take things this far for their daughter? Even to the point of putting their lives at stake?Perhaps the scene at the hospital was also part of their schemes?At the thought of this, I pulled out my phone to give Xander a call.The call was answered after two rings. “How are you, Wandy? Are you safe now?”Xander asked anxiously, his voice slightly weary. However, he still remained concerned about me, which made me slightly moved.“I’m okay. I’m safe.” I got up and stood on the balcony, looking at the traffic below. I said, “How are things on your side? How’s your moth
