All Chapters of In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Sophie tightened her grip on the photos."The issues facing Carlson Group's projects have nothing to do with me," she asserted.The shareholder, who had been questioning Sophie from the beginning, slammed the table. "I knew you wouldn't admit it! Let him in!"Within minutes, the conference room door was pushed open again, and a man wearing thick glasses entered with his head lowered, too nervous to raise it."Ms. Luxford, this is Johnny, the assistant to Mr. Chase, the manager of the project department. You should know him, shouldn't you?" the shareholder introduced mockingly.Although Sophie did not recognize Johnny, she noticed his glances toward her. Her heart sank, but she managed a cold smirk. "Do you really think anyone present would believe me if I say I don't know him?"Sophie understood that the shareholders were determined to twist the truth today. She felt isolated and unsupported.Her gaze shifted toward a certain spot in the room, but she retracted it at the last mo

"That's right. You have a son with Cedric. Now, I have one in my womb, too. You might not be aware of it yet, but Grandpa has mentioned more than once that the great-grandson of the Carlsons must come out of me!" Sophie said mockingly."Speaking of which, I'm really worried about your son, too. He's such a cute kid but still doesn't understand what it means to be an illegitimate child. However, as he grows up, he'll have to endure being pointed at and badmouthed about by others. His innocence will be shattered by the idle gossip of others early on. I really pity him."As Sophie spoke, a sudden change of tone occurred, and her gaze became more domineering. "If you want the Mrs. Carlson position so badly, go ahead and try to snatch it from me if you really have the ability. But let me warn you, don't mess with anything else that's unrelated to this matter. Otherwise, I won't spare you and your son. I advise you to be more careful!"Despite Sophie's typically willful nature, she allowe

She'll turn the tables on us when the baby is born. And once Father gives in to her demands, all of Carlson Group's equity might end up going to her child!'Pfft! What an impeccable idea!' Melissa commented inwardly, dripping with sarcasm."Ma'am, I'm sorry. I spoke out of turn," Alfred apologized fearfully.At that moment, Melissa suddenly grabbed his arm. "You haven't done anything wrong. Sophie is the one in the wrong. Alfred, I need you to take care of something for me."A malicious thought crossed Melissa's mind. 'I mustn't let Sophie give birth to that baby, even if it's Cedric's flesh and blood.'"Ma'am? What do you want me to do?" Alfred asked cautiously, raising his head.With that inquiry, a glint of delight flickered in his eyes. 'Yes, another success. I'll soon become a truly wealthy man.'Without hesitation, Melissa named her request. "I want you to..."Melissa's gaze dimmed as she gave the orders. 'Sophie, the baby in your womb could have been allowed to stay. How

If she didn't want the baby, even if he could prevent it once, he couldn't possibly monitor her every second."Understood," Evander replied, his expression growing even more conflicted.'Mr. Carlson obviously cares about Ms. Luxford and her unborn baby, yet he puts on a pretense that he doesn't care. However, on second thought, if Ms. Luxford doesn't want to keep the baby, perhaps it's for the best.'Between Ms. Kerrigan and Tristan and Ms. Luxford and her unborn baby, Mr. Carlson will eventually have to give up one of the two families,' Evander thought.Cedric tightened his grip on the pen, intending to finish signing his name, but his fingers seemed stiff. He then suppressed his emotions and raised his head. "You can go back to work.""Yes," Evander said and left the room.Alone in the office, Cedric threw the pen aside, a trace of annoyance tugging at the corners of his captivating eyes and his chiseled jawline. 'Did Sophie go to the hospital because she felt uncomfortable? Or

This man wouldn't die from this stab wound, but it would afford her some time to protect herself. For the sake of her baby, she had to fight back!"You..." The man clutched his chest, his panic evident amidst the pain and fear. What he had done today was merely for the sake of money—he hadn't intended to die for a few extra bucks."No one can harm my baby, not even Cedric!" Sophie pulled out the scalpel and discarded it, then staggered swiftly toward the operating theater door. Glancing back at the man, who was crouching beside the operating table while applying pressure to his chest, she pressed the alarm button.'I wish I could just watch you die, but if you do, I'd become a murderer. I'm not that foolish!'The piercing alarm immediately sounded, prompting doctors and nurses to rush nervously into the theater.Seeing Jeanna among them, Sophie managed a weak smile and reached out toward her, intending to call her name. However, her body felt drained of strength, and she collapsed
