Helen was silent. She knew the Sullivan family's wealth surpassed the Rockefellers', as the Sullivans' business wings were spread across various fields of business.
Helen's attention was directed forward, watching Alfred, who happened to be sitting on the single-seat couch. Their eyes met, then nodded slowly.
"My father told me about the situation at Monarch, through his perspective, of course. I don't know much about Monarch, let alone about the agreement between the three of you," Helen revealed.
"I tried to guess and calculate what might happen. It looks like selling Rockefeller's stake in Monarch is the best thing to do," Helen continued.
"The more you hold back from selling, the more the price will drop. It's a wise decision to sell," Dylan replied.
Helen smiled. Although she was new to this stock business, Dylan didn't pressure her. He rather gave Helen the freedom to decide, with the help of Alfred's explanation.
Helen's head moved to
***The next day.That morning, Alice came to the Sullivan residence. Richard had told her to come, of course, with the intention of helping Dylan with the files related to Sully Corp.Alice's arrival at the house was a surprise, especially for Dylan. She arrived at Dylan's study after the servant had escorted her to the door.The servant knocked lightly on the door, Dylan who was already inside the study reflexively told his guest to come in."What's wrong?" asked Dylan.The man still focused his eyes on the laptop screen before him, but the servant walked in with his left hand on the door.The servant came in with her left hand
"For more intensive care, we recommend Miss Maya to be admitted to this hospital for a few days," the doctor replied.Dylan remained silent, lost in thought, with a blossoming smile. His heart was overjoyed to hear that Maya was pregnant, something he had never imagined before.Seeing Dylan lost in thought and not responding to the doctor's question, Diaz reflexively patted Dylan's left shoulder. Dylan finally snapped out of his happiness-induced reverie."Ah, sorry. Just do what's best for Maya," Dylan said, spontaneously responding without fully hearing the doctor's statement.The female doctor who examined Maya seemed suspicious of Dylan's attitude, but she didn't pay much attention to it.She needed to focus o
"What? Pregnant?" Maya asked.Her mouth gaped, eyes wide as she never thought she would be pregnant with Dylan's child. Maya could be so sure that the child in her stomach was Dylan's, considering that Maya only had sex with Dylan.Maya's eyes reflexively looked at her stomach. Her lips, which had been flat-lined, now lifted up in a wide smile with eyes full of emotion."A-Am I really pregnant?" Maya asked, trying to confirm."That's what the doctor said. If you don't mind, we can check whether you're pregnant," Dylan replied.Enthusiastically, Maya suddenly rose from her sitting position with both hands clasping Dylan's left hand. This made Dylan gasp."I want to!" said Maya, full of enthusiasm.Dylan, who saw Maya's enthusiasm, could only smile and then laughed softly. Dylan's hand gently stroked Maya's hair, agreeing with what Maya wanted."Alright. We'll check your pregnancy after you've recovered," said Dylan.Maya nodded. She would follow what Dylan wanted. Having a child from t
"What? Pregnant?" asked Louis.Louis' eyes widened, rounding wide with a pounding heart. As a woman, she knew very well how it felt when someone was reportedly pregnant.In contrast to Louis' response, Richard smiled and then laughed loudly, as if the middle-aged man had expected this to happen. The different responses shown by the two persons were confusing for Dylan and Maya.Dylan glanced at Maya, the woman who was lying down seemed to shrug her shoulders; completely unable to understand the responses Louis and Richard were showing."But aren't you married?" asked Louis, looking at Dylan.Dylan nodded. The man invited Richard and Louis to talk about it on the couch away from Maya, Dylan didn't want the conversation to dist
Dylan's conversation with Richard and Louis finally ended, they agreed to help Dylan in carrying out his revenge plan.Richard will help with the things he can help with, while Louis will make sure all of Dylan's plans have no gaps. In essence, they both made sure that Dylan would carry out the plan well.Maya felt happy, her heart which was previously restless and afraid, now subsided and relieved. Louis no longer suspects Maya, because Dylan explains Maya has nothing to do with Dylan's desire for revenge against Watson.Richard and Louis said goodbye to Dylan. He said that he was going back home because tomorrow they had to attend an important meeting with Sully Corp's officials."Be careful," Dylan said.Richard clea
***Three days later.The female doctor who had treated Maya came back. That morning, she arrived with two nurses; one of whom was seen pushing a metal push table with medicines on it."How are you feeling today, Miss Maya?" the female doctor asked, smiling in greeting with both hands behind her back.Maya nodded, then smiled broadly in return to the friendliness shown by her doctor, "I'm fine."The doctor immediately checked several things on Maya's body, ranging from eyes, heart rate through a stethoscope, to blood pressure.Maya always complied with what the doctor told her, taking medicine regularly and maintaining a good nutrition. As a result of her compliance, she rec
"Congratulations. Miss Maya is indeed pregnant," said the female doctor, older than the previous doctor who examined and treated Maya's anemia.Maya smiled, as they both sat on the chair in front of the doctor's desk. Maya's eyes were teary, shining brightly with happiness as she realized that her and Dylan's child was actually in her stomach.Dylan was just as enthusiastic, hugging her tightly with his eyes focused forward. It seemed that the middle-aged female doctor was still explaining things related to the age of the womb."Young wombs like this are prone to miscarriage. Make sure your wife is always well taken care of, try not to do heavy work," said the female doctor."Okay. I'll do it," Dylan replied."I'll write down
The door to Dylan's office was gently knocked, and he promptly instructed the person outside to come in. The servant nodded obediently, opened the door to Dylan's office, and saw his boss sitting on the sofa, accompanied by Maya and his two guests. The servant's visit to Dylan's office was not without reason. He came with the purpose of bringing the wine as per Dylan's request—the finest wine always available in the house."Do you know Nathan?" Dylan asked Helen.Helen shook her head; she wasn't familiar with the man named Nathan mentioned by Dylan. Dylan smiled, nodding."He's a business associate of mine, as Alfred also acknowledges. Do you remember when I explained the three unwritten agreements among the three families of entrepreneurs?" Dylan asked."Oh, so Nathan is one of them, right?" Helen asked.Dylan cleared his throat, maintaining eye contact with Helen while glancing occasionally at his assistant seated beside her.Unlike Maya, who sat on the long sofa opposite Helen, M
