Sophie glanced at her swollen ankle, realizing she might need help getting home safely.Half an hour later, they arrived at her apartment building.Austin switched off the engine and hurried to open the door for her, but Sophie had already stepped out. The door closed with a soft click that seemed to freeze him in place."Thank you for speaking up for me in front of the media today, and for the ride home. I won't invite you up for a nightcap, though," she said.She climbed the stairs unsteadily while Austin stood frozen, his features sinking into the deepening twilight."Sophie, it’s your friendship that cuts me the deepest," Austin muttered.-At home, Mrs. Carrie and Cherry were shocked to see Sophie limping."Mommy, who did you fight with?" Cherry asked as she knelt to help Sophie out of her high heels, inwardly cursing a certain someone. Despite being only five, she was sharp and had understood from the TV news what might have caused her mom's injury.'Damn you Cedric, jus

The tension in the Carlson living room was palpable.Jeff sat rigidly on the sofa, his stern face framed by age-lined eyes filled with anger.Even Melissa, known for her quick temper, restrained herself from speaking out.Matthew frowned as he glanced at Cedric and Austin. The cousins used to get along well during childhood, but competition had crept in over the years, particularly concerning Sophie. This only added to the family strain.Jeff glared at them and snorted before speaking. "Now that you’ve grown up and become successful, you think you can do whatever you want, don’t you?"He had hoped to see Cedric and Sophie live happily together within his lifetime, and for Austin to let go of his obsessions and find his happiness. However, his hopes were dashed as their lives spiraled into chaos.When Mrs. Carrie reported that Sophie had not come home all night and then returned to the apartment with Cedric, Jeff had felt a spark of hope. He had assumed progress was being made, de

"Grandfather, I can agree to nearly anything, but I insist Vivienne’s chile must be kept," Cedric declared firmly, softening his tone but not his determination.This child was essential for his future with Sophie. He owed her a clear answer this time."Say that again?!" Jeff frowned, questioning if Cedric truly understood the consequences of his decision. There was already Tristan, and having another child would utterly disgrace Sophie.'Which woman would want to deal with her partner's children from another woman as she grew older?'"Vivienne's child must be kept," Cedric stated clearly, determined to protect the child until the truth was revealed.Jeff trembled with rage, almost fearing it might end him, and he turned sharply to Austin."Austin, begin the arranged meetings with suitable girls from our social circle. As long as you like her, I don't care about her family background. It could be a celebrity or an ordinary girl, anyone but Sophie.'"Grandfather, I won't be meetin

The media had been abuzz about Vivienne's pregnancy for days, yet Sophie was disinterested and exhausted, struggling to keep her eyes open."That jerk Cedric! It's been days. Is he ever going to respond?"Vivienne's news had broken just as Austin publicly confessed his feelings for her, but Cedric's silence was deafening."If I were you, I'd seriously consider Austin. He's been by your side all these years, caring for you and Cherry. Where else would you find such a good man? Linda, what's that saying? The best kind of love is companionship," Jeanna commented."That’s more often said about parents and children," Linda corrected gently, her role as a senior secretary making her quick to ensure accuracy."Right, I meant that the best kind of romance is one that grows over time and endures into old age."Jeanna rolled her eyes. Compared to Cedric, Austin seemed like the more dependable type. After all, if not for his timely intervention years ago, Sophie might not have survived. The

"You're now part of Paramount," Sophie informed Valerie in a professional tone. "As your boss, I hope to see your value increase. However, I must remind you not to be too optimistic. The entertainment industry is brimming with fresh talent now, and it's quite different from what you knew before. Make sure to seize this opportunity."Although Sophie warned her, she was confident that Valerie was astute enough to leverage her strengths."Yes, boss." Valerie chuckled, pleasantly surprised by their smooth collaboration. "Who would've thought we'd mesh so well?"Once, Valerie had found it difficult to even tolerate Sophie."By the way, is it true about Vivienne being pregnant with Cedric's child? Or is it just a publicity stunt?" Valerie shifted the conversation to gossip after their serious discussion. The news had been all over her phone for days, yet something seemed off.'How could Cedric have let Vivienne become pregnant?'At the mention of Cedric’s name again, Sophie felt a head

"Ms. Luxford, is everything okay?" Linda asked, noting Sophie's serious expression and growing worry."I just came from the hospital where I visited Valerie. As I was leaving, I saw a man entering Vivienne’s room. What if her pregnancy is..." Sophie's voice trailed off, suspicion clouding her thoughts.Was she doubting her instincts, grappling with Vivienne’s pregnancy, or unconsciously seeking excuses for Cedric?Although she left her sentence unfinished, Linda quickly caught on. After pondering for a moment, she remarked, "I've heard rumors that Mr. Carlson intended to send Vivienne abroad until Tristan was older. Given her desperation to stay, she might resort to anything. And using a child has always been her tactic."Sophie's troubled expression deepened. 'Could that really be true?'-At X Corp.Cedric's expression was unreadable. He glanced up as Evander entered. "Any progress?""The hospital surveillance has been wiped clean, quite thoroughly. It'll take specialists to

'The Carlson heirs…'Ironically, neither of her children belonged to the Carlson bloodline.Vivienne pressed down on her stomach, her fingers curling involuntarily with emotional turmoil. Tristan was a stain in her life she could never erase, and now, she was burdened with another revolting presence inside her.She wished she could rid herself of the fetus but understood the harsh reality. As long as the child was alive, Cedric could not harm her. Without it, he would have no hesitation in sending her away.A sharp pain shot through her lower abdomen as she pressed too hard, deepening her frown."Ms. Kerrigan, are you feeling alright?" The nurse noticed the sudden change in Vivienne's expression and felt her own heart race. This job was turning out to be more challenging than she had anticipated."I’m fine," Vivienne muttered, the pain intensifying her frown. "Take me back to my room."As the nurse wheeled her back, Vivienne's peripheral vision caught a shadowy figure, sending a

The nurse observed Vivienne clutching her stomach, growing increasingly worried.Cedric had made it clear that the child must remain unharmed. Could something already be wrong with the baby?"Ms. Kerrigan, are you feeling alright?" she asked.Vivienne bit her lip, praying the sharp pain in her abdomen would subside. Instead, it worsened, and suddenly, she felt a warm trickle down her legs. Looking down, she saw a fresh stain of red blood."Ms. Kerrigan, you're bleeding!" the nurse exclaimed, dropping her clipboard in shock and dashing to summon medical help.Soon, Vivienne was rushed into an examination room. As the cold ultrasound probe pressed against her belly, turning her face even paler, she kept her eyes glued to the screen."Doctor, is my baby okay?""Ms. Kerrigan, try to stay calm. There's some bleeding, but the embryo is still viable for now. However, there are signs of a threatened miscarriage."Ms. Kerrigan, you are less than three months pregnant, and certain activi
