"Mia woke up and walked to the living hall. She saw her parents discussing an invitation card."Honey, why not let Mia attend? Since it's a business gathering, I am sure Jerome would be present," Mrs. Cambridge suggested."I would like to, but I want to build connections with people. You know the company stock has been going down recently." Even though he wishes Mia would reunite with Jerome, they don't have much time left. Ever since Jerome left, the company has been going down. He thought he could manage the company without his help, but he miscalculated it. When he came home and found out Jerome had been driven away, he didn't bother searching for him. He never liked the boy; he has always thought he would take the company away from him. He was overjoyed when he realized he wasn't in a competition with anyone. Who knew everything would be a mess right after he left, and he would not be able to find a solution to this trouble?"Hubby, I understand the situation of the company, but
Mia was the first to arrive at the party. Even though her stomach had grown big, it didn't hide her beauty. She looked stunning in the blue dress."Wow, I heard pregnant women do not look beautiful, but it seems the young miss of the Cambridge family proved us wrong. She is so beautiful," one man commented."Yes, my wife is beautiful, but when she was pregnant, she looked so... so... Miss Mia is lucky. She still looks beautiful even when she is pregnant," another chimed in."I don't mind marrying a pregnant woman," the first guest said with lust in his eyes."Hey, watch your words. How can you lust over a pregnant woman? I heard she is the fiancée of the young master of the Jackson family.""Mm, but they are not yet engaged. I still have a chance," the man said with a determined voice."Keep dreaming, Mr. Dreamer," the other said in a mocking tone and left the man.Looking at how the men were fighting over her and how she was the topic for today, she smiled in satisfaction. "So what i
Eleanor's feet ached in her high heels, but she forced herself to keep walking. Each step sent a jolt of pain up her legs, but she gritted her teeth and persevered. Jerome saw her expression and asked, "Eleanor, are you okay?""Yes, boss, it's just that my feet ache badly," she replied with pain in her voice."Why didn't you say it earlier and force yourself to walk?" Jerome was angry. If he hadn't seen her expression, she would have endured the pain."I am sorry, boss; I didn't want to distract you." Eleanor bowed her head and mumbled."Fool," Jerome cursed at her in a helpless tone."Stay here and don't go anywhere; I will ask Bright to send you some shoes." He helped her sit down, bent on his knees, and took off her heels.Mia, who was talking with her father, saw what was going on. She clenched her fist, and her eyes turned cold. Even when Jerome was obedient to him, he never treated her like this. How dare this lowly servant bewitch her man. She was determined to continue with he
The crowd was silent, pondering the situation. 'Right, right, I saw the woman sitting quietly, and the pregnant woman came to her. I don't know what happened; she seems provoked, and the pregnant woman must have provoked her.'"But that shouldn't be a reason to push her," another chimed in."No, she didn't push her; she slapped her rather.""She is still evil. She needs to be arrested.""Haven't you been provoked to the extreme before? If she didn't provoke her, would she have slapped her?""But that doesn't change the fact that her miscarriage was caused by her." The crowd divided into two. Some understood Eleanor, while others were against her.Listening to the murmurs and how the people scolded her, Eleanor shivered more in Jerome's arms."Enough!! this is not for you to judge; I will take care of it." Jerome's sudden roar startled them. They kept their mouths shut. Looking at his dangerous eyes, none of them were willing to offend him, so they walked away one by one until they wer
Mia had been trying everything to leak the news to the media, but they weren't ready to take the risk. Frustrated, she got an idea. Despite not being a celebrity, she had many followers on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and Thread. "Gosh, why didn't I think of this?" she said happily like a child finding her missing candy. She called her mother, "Mom, let the servant bring me my ring light and makeup box. I need to make a video.""Mia, you are not yet strong; why do you need to make a video?""You will know later," she said and hung up.Thirty minutes later, a servant brought the ring light. She told the servant to stand outside and, when done, she would call for her. She picked up her makeup, applied a cool-toned foundation, used concealer to cover imperfections, and set it with powder. A highlighter on cheekbones, nose, and cupid's bow gave her face a glow.After finishing, she looked at herself on the phone, satisfied. Though still hospitalized, her color had improved, and she only l
When Jerome got to his office, he called Bright who had just resumed work over. "Bright, I told them to stop the news from leaking. How come it is all over everywhere? " " Boss, I did as you instructed. Mis Mia has a lot of followers and so the news quickly spread when she made the video herself." Bright explained. "Let me have a look," Jerome said.Bright searched for the news and gave the phone to Jerome. Eleanor also picked up her phone and scrolled through the internet. She quickly found the news since it was on the trending news. In the video, Mia sat on her hospital bed with her messy hair. Her pale looks in addition to her messy hair makes her look very pitiful. Tears started streaming down her cheeks as she began talking. "I am the only child of my parents. My mother tries hard to conceive but to no avail. Growing up, I wanted to have siblings to play with them but that wish didn't come through. I could feel my parents also wanted to have more kids but to no avail. I promi
The next morning, another video trended. It was about a witness confirming what Mia said. There were two witnesses at the party. One was the one whom Jerome warned, the other didn't make himself known. Now the matter has blown; people are calling the police to arrest Eleanor. Some even went as far as tracing her to her house. Jerome foresaw what would come so he instructed her to move to his place.At the Jackson family..."It's been almost a week since the incident happened, and that girl is still roaming freely. Just what backer has she found?" Mrs. Jackson sat on the couch and wondered. She has been adding fuel to the burning fire, but it seems nothing has been done. The police have not even come out to say anything about the incident. They were all pretending as if nothing had happened."Mother, don't you know?" Elidad asked. He couldn't make it to the business party, but his friends who went told him everything."What do I not know?" Mrs. Jackson lifted her head slightly and aske
"Miss Eleanor, Miss Eleanor, hello," Bright called out several times and finally realized the call was hung up. "Shit," he cursed and quickly drove to the company.When he got to the company, Jerome was still at the meeting. Knowing how important Eleanor was to his boss, Bright didn't waste much time and whispered in his ear. Jerome's expression turned cold, and his chilly eyes made the workers shiver."The meeting is adjourned," he said, standing up. Judging by their boss's expression, the workers sensed an emergency and wondered what could have happened."What did you say?" Jerome asked."Boss, I went to the mansion and couldn't find Miss Eleanor. I was about to call her when she called and said I should save her. The call was hung up, and I couldn't reach her.""How could this happen? Let's go to the mansion. I will personally check the footage myself," Jerome said, heading out, with Bright following.At the mansion, Jerome went to the control room and checked what happened. Eleano
