Ned clenched his fists. His expression was dark and indiscernible. "Could you share how Gregory learned about my pregnancy?" Angeline asked. "I checked his phone. Your labmates were talking about taking care of you or something along those lines in the chat group."From that, Angeline was sure Alva saw the pregnancy test strips in the bin. "Thanks," she replied, wrapping her jacket tightly around her as she left. Ned was surprisingly composed when she left, possibly because he felt guilt over her pregnancy. He stood still as he watched her go.Angeline ran into Alva when she entered the dormitory building. She had two servings of supper with her as she looked at Angeline with concern."Angie, um… Gregory's cousin, and you…" Alva muttered hesitantly. Alva noticed the light was still on in Angeline's room, so she headed downstairs to get some supper, worried that Angeline might be hungry. She was appalled to see Gregory's cousin dragging Angeline into a corner. Although Al

Angeline instantly locked her phone screen. Her heart was pounding heavily. She recalled the bruises she saw on Henrietta's wrists when she fell asleep on the dining table. However, she found no other wounds on Henrietta when she checked. So, Angeline assumed that the bruises on her wrists were by accident.Moreover, Henrietta had returned home early with her shoes wet the other day.Yesterday afternoon, Henrietta's eyes gleamed with hope and joy when Angeline had picked her up for lunch.

"Alright, got it!" Marion replied, setting down the data in her hands. She went up to the translucent glass and tapped on it. Angeline accurately dripped the reagent and called Gregory over to monitor it. Marion grabbed her by the arm once she exited the lab."Angie, a video was circulated at Cloudsville High School. Henrietta might not be able to handle it, so she disappeared. But apparently, she's not out of the school yet—Angie!"Before Marion could finish, Angeline immediately dashed out. She didn't even bother to remove her lab coat. "Alva! Go check on her!" Marion yelled at Alva, who had just entered, as she took off her coat hastily. Angeline's mind went blank. Did the video reach Cloudsville High School? Were Henrietta's classmates picking on her right now?She called Henrietta as she rushed over to Cloudsville High School. However, it went straight to voicemail. As she ran at full speed, the wind rushed past her, and her racing heartbeat echoed loudly in her ears.

Soon, the principal and other teachers gathered around. Alva stood beside Angeline, unsure of how to comfort her. Marion squeezed through the crowd, covering her mouth in shock when she saw the sight before her. The ambulance and police arrived quickly. It wasn't until Henrietta was taken to the emergency room that Angeline finally collapsed on the hospital bench. Her hands were covered in Henrietta's blood. "Angie… your phone."Alva handed Angeline's phone back and sat beside her, consoling her. "Don't worry, we still have hope. It's only the ninth floor, after all. There was news about a kid being fine after falling from the 28th floor!"Angeline saw an unread message from Henrietta. She tapped on it with her bloodied hands. Henrietta: "Angeline, I really can't take it anymore. I feel like I can never escape from this hell in my entire life. I'm sorry, Angeline. I want to be with Mom now."I'm behind the academic building, and there's no one here, so I won't hurt any

Gregory and Ned sat beside each other in the hospital ward. In a hushed tone, Gregory asked, "Ned, is Angie's baby… your love child?""Love child?" Ned retorted.His brows drew together as he snapped, "She was already pregnant before we were divorced!""Divorced?" Gregory exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise. "Wait… Angie's been pregnant for two months, which means you got her pregnant before you divorced. But… you just proposed to your fiancée! Ned, you're a scumbag!"Staring at Angeline, who was still unconscious in bed, Ned glared at Gregory. "You're insufferable!"Ned's phone buzzed in his pocket. He took it out and glanced at it, frowning at Angeline. He got up and went outside to answer the call. He reluctantly greeted, "Uncle Sean…""Don't you realize that you're already divorced from Angie?"Sean's deep voice was laced with his dominance, causing Ned to glance around at his surroundings instinctively. "I've already taken down the photos of you carrying Angi

Taylor was puzzled. "But we've been doing this for almost two months now. The people back home are counting on this collaboration. Besides, who knows what Mr. Manent might have to say after today's meeting."Sean pressed the down button on the elevator, his stern features reflected in the mirrored walls."Instead of begging to survive, it's better to take a bold stance and fight for it! Maybe then we won't be at the mercy of others in the future."The elevator let out a soft ding as it arrived.

Sean brought a glass of water over to the couch and sat down. "The safety of our staff is vital, and you can never be too careful. Yes, this trip may delay us by two months and cost us some money, but the value of each scientist far exceeds the cost and time invested."After a sip of water, Sean continued, "Since we can't partner with foreign companies to develop the chips, it's time for us to make a last stand and focus on domestic research and development."He lowered his glass and leaned forward to address the Lawson Global executives."Gentlemen, this time, against all odds, we will forge ahead and pursue development independently. Under optimistic projections, the next three to five years will be critical for our company. But if we persevere, we'll surely break the monopoly in the chip industry."The executives relaxed when the meeting ended. They drifted off to sleep.Sean rubbed his temples wearily, his eyes red and exhausted as he looked out the plane window.Knowing An
