Chapter 241

"Mr. Carlson, between Ms. Brynd and Ms. Kerrigan, whom would you choose?"As soon as the journalists spotted him, a barrage of questions ensued.Evander extended his arms to halt the crowd. While he could physically block them, silencing them proved impossible."Mr. Carlson, you and Ms. Kerrigan have been engaged for five years without marrying. Has the relationship deteriorated?" Another question emerged.Cedric's patience wore thin, and his eyebrows creased in displeasure, radiating an icy aura."No comment," he uttered.After the short and direct response, he followed the ambulance to the nearest hospital.The journalists also followed them to the hospital and waited for more than two hours. Finally, they received the diagnosis that Valerie had suffered a miscarriage!-Valerie lay on the hospital bed, her complexion healthy. "I've inadvertently become the quickest miscarriage victim in the entertainment industry.".Just a few hours ago, she had announced her pregnancy wit

Sophie was taken aback by Valerie's unexpected topic, her smile fading into a frown. "I'm not interested in that.""Is it a lack of interest or do you just want to avoid knowing? Let me tell you this. When women get too capable, men generally group into two categories: those with inferiority complexes and those with conqueror mentalities. Which do you think Cedric is?"Valerie was determined to tease Sophie for a bit.At the mention of Cedric's name, Sophie's expression turned cold, and she stood up from her seat. "Just focus on recovering from the miscarriage. Talking too much affects your recovery. I'll be leaving already."Watching her leave, Valerie smiled self-mockingly. 'Being that capable is better than not.'As Sophie exited the ward, the question Valerie had asked earlier lingered in her mind. Not wanting to be further disturbed by her emotions, she quickened her pace."I'll kill you, I'll kill all of you! You all deserve to die!"A strange voice abruptly echoed from ar

The elevator stopped on the ground floor. While others disembarked, Sophie's thoughts lingered on the earlier incident. She hurriedly stepped out just as the doors almost closed.Before she could take more than a few steps, journalists who had just returned from their break intercepted her. "Ms. Luxford, are you visiting Ms. Brynd?""We heard that Ms. Brynd has signed a contract with Paramount Inc. Won't your relationship be slightly awkward?" asked one of the journalists.Sophie replied with a smile, "I did come to visit Valerie. She's an artist working under my company. As the CEO, why do I need to feel awkward?""What about the rumors concerning Ms. Brynd and Mr. Carlson?" pressed the journalist with a follow-up question.Everyone knew that Sophie was once Cedric's legal wife, so it was only natural for them to add drama to this topic."I wish them well, just like everyone else," Sophie answered with a smile, before turning away from the gossip-hungry journalists and briskly e

Chapter 244

Vivienne's eyes were slightly bloodshot. Just as she prepared to tighten her embrace, she heard him whisper, "Mommy, let's leave this place."Her hold on him stiffened instantly. After confirming that she hadn't misheard, Vivienne pulled him away, her previously gentle face turning gloomy and menacing. "What did you just say?""I want to leave here with you, Mommy. You're not happy, I'm not happy, and Daddy isn't happy either. Mommy, can we go?"Although Tristan did not understand the adult world, he could feel it. He did not want his parents to be so unhappy together anymore, nor did he want to see his mother become more and more unfamiliar.All he craved was the simplicity of his childhood, when his mother's love was enough, even without a father. Now, fear gripped him constantly."How could I have given birth to such a pathetic son like you!?" Vivienne rose from her seat, her gaze fixed on Tristan with a mix of disdain and disappointment, her anger palpable.Grasping his shoul

Tristan's hoarse voice was tinged with a hint of panic.Wendy helped him up from the bed and said, "Don't be afraid. You're having a fever. I'll go call your mom right now."As the door closed, Tristan reached up and touched his forehead. 'Do I have a fever? But I've had a fever before. My eyes shouldn't be affected.'Shortly after, Vivienne followed Wendy upstairs. The rage from last night had long subsided, and she reached out to feel Tristan's forehead, only to be shocked. "Why is it so hot?!""Mommy, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I won't make you angry again." Tristan felt extremely uncomfortable all over, but he still remembered to apologize to his mother.Feeling a surge of concern for her son, Vivienne instinctively pulled him into her arms. "I'm not angry with you. Sweetie, tell me, what's wrong with your eyes?""I can't see things clearly, and it hurts here." Tristan pointed to the back of his head.Vivienne's fingers reached for the spot he pointed at, and her expressi

Vivienne dressed similarly—only then did she feel reassured enough to lead him into the hospital.-"Doctor, what's wrong with my son?" Vivienne asked.The doctor looked up and adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose. "Ms. Laurens, your son's fever isn't caused by a cold, but by an accumulation of blood in the back of his head. How long has this been there?"Seeing that Vivienne was still wearing a cap and mask in his office, he was irked. 'It's not like she's some celebrity. What's her reason to dress up like this?'"It's been about half a month. He only told me that he had hit his head before this after developing a fever earlier today," Vivienne answered truthfully.The doctor's dissatisfaction intensified upon hearing that. "How can you young people be parents if you don't even know when your child has injured themselves?"The head was the most important and delicate part of the body. Getting injured in this area was not like injuring an arm or leg, where the pain wou

On the way to the school cafeteria, Reyna tugged on Cherry's arm, shaking it back and forth. "Cherry, you haven't told me a riddle today.""Let's talk after we eat. Hurry up or the chicken drumsticks will be gone." Cherry had woken up late that morning and hadn't had time for breakfast. She was so hungry that she could eat a horse. As such, it was no time for riddles.The two were in a hurry, and Reyna accidentally bumped into a student coming out of the cafeteria."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." Tristan apologized nervously, holding the lunch box in his hand.His mother claimed that his eyes would improve after he recovered from the fever. However, even after taking the medicine and the fever subsided, his vision still seemed cloudy, as if something murky was blocking his sight. He couldn't even see clearly who he had just bumped into.Reyna realized it was Tristan she had bumped into, and her chubby cheeks blushed slightly. "It's not your fault, I was walking too fast.""As lo

"No need for that. Have Mr. Yankov get everything ready. I'll need it in the next few days," Cedric replied.Evander nodded immediately. "Understood." 'If it weren't for Tristan's custody, Mr. Carlson probably would've canceled his engagement with Ms. Kerrigan long ago. Why wait until now?'A maid opened the door quickly as soon as she heard the sound of the car, "Welcome back, sir. Your grandfather and everyone else are already waiting for you.""Okay," Cedric replied and entered the mansion.Jeff frowned upon seeing him. "Your attitude is getting more and more outrageous, making the entire family wait for you.""Father, Cedric has returned, hasn't he? Besides, X Corp. is so busy that he must have been occupied dealing with company matters. Cedric, come. Sit down and eat," Melissa quickly interjected to protect her son.Ignoring Melissa's protective stance, Jeff acted as if he had not heard her and pointed to the empty seat. "Sit down."Cedric pulled out the chair, while Aust

The next day, news spread that Jeff was going to hold a party to celebrate his birthday. Jeanna arrived at Sophie's office early in the morning. "Mr. Carlson is celebrating his birthday, and all the prominent figures in Imperium will be attending. You should be on the guest list too.""Birthday?" Sophie was momentarily stunned upon hearing that.She immediately checked the corresponding date on the calendar. 'Oh yeah, Grandpa's birthday is indeed around the corner. But Grandpa has never liked noisy gatherings. Why would he suddenly announce a birthday celebration?'"It seems Mr. Carlson hasn't given up and is still trying to bring you and Cedric together. Are you going?" Jeanna asked while observing Sophie's expression.Despite Sophie's ongoing attempts at revenge these days, Jeanna could feel that Sophie still could not completely let go of Cedric."You're overthinking." Sophie closed the contract in her hands.'If Grandpa is celebrating his birthday, it's only natural for Ced

Sophie could not understand why he would say such a thing and frowned. "I owe you something?"'It's clear that he's the one who owes me his life!'"Yes, you do," Cedric nodded immediately, his smile betraying no hint of his intention, leaving Sophie unable to guess what he was up to. But the next moment, he suddenly lifted the cuff of his trousers over his right leg.A fresh sutured wound, not yet fully healed, was revealed, spanning more than four inches long—a disturbing sight on the outer side of his calf.Sophie froze, unable to tear her gaze away from the wound. The long, straight gash seemed to have been caused by a swift stroke of a blade.'Did he get this from that incident at the hospital?'Sophie's expression changed slightly. That day, when the lunatic wielding the knife suddenly appeared, wanting to kill anyone he could get his hands on, she couldn't help but feel frightened. Especially when Cedric suddenly pinned her against the wall, she was not in the mindset to no
