Susan's words caused Lewis's face to darken immediately, and his eyes turned slightly cold: "Susan, you've gone too far. I can let you live in the Royal Manor, or I can let you out."Susan was trying to meddle in Lewis's private life, hitting a nerve.Fearfully and with a pale face, Susan stammered, "Lewis, I-I was just asking.""What's none of your business, do not meddle," Lewis glanced at her coldly, "Just stick to your role."With that, he left straight away.Susan felt like she had narrowly escaped a catastrophe; Lewis's expression was terrifying.She couldn't bear to lose the opulence—the big villa, designer bags, and luxury cars. How could she give it up? Even if she couldn't be Mrs. Lewis, what did it matter?As long as he gave her enough money, that was all that mattered.At present, she was the only woman living in the Royal Manor; she believed there would be opportunities. If she were to have Lewis's child, she could enjoy this splendid wealth forever.Susan was realistic.

Upon hearing that Judy had gone to the hospital, a peculiar light flashed in Lewis's eyes. Louis, apprehensively asked, "What's wrong with her? Is it serious? Which hospital did she go to?" His level of concern could make one think he and Judy had some sort of relationship. Linda said, "I'm not quite sure, it could be stomach discomfort, Judy mentioned it to me." Linda was worried about Lewis's reaction. Louis speculated, "Maybe it’s food poisoning, or she’s just tired..." Lewis, with a cold compression of his eyebrows, retorted, "My secretary is ill, it’s none of your business to worry." Louis reasoned as a matter of course, "Judy is sick, she’s at her most vulnerable and in need of care, that's exactly when I should be providing comfort." Linda was taken aback -- was Louis pursuing Judy? Eager, Louis said, "Linda, give me Judy’s contact, I want to look after her." Linda glanced at Lewis and then said to Louis, "Sorry, it’s not appropriate for me to give you Judy’s personal

John was the first person to know about Judy's pregnancy.Judy treated John like family, and at this moment, she didn't know who else to turn to, so she confided in John.John's expression froze, and his hand tightened around the ring box under the table. He was stunned, glancing at Judy's stomach, he asked, "Pregnant? Whose is it? When did you even get a boyfriend? How come I've never heard about it?""I don't have a boyfriend…" Judy said carefully, "Let's not worry about who the father is right now. John, I had a check-up at the hospital today. You're the first person I'm telling this to. I want to keep the baby. What do you think?"John was too shocked, unable to process such news.He discreetly put away the ring box, stuttering due to surprise, "This, this situation... Judy, you're planning to be a single mother? Who's the jerk? If he doesn't want to be responsible for you, I'll go confront him right now."The very thought of Judy being mistreated made John fiercely angry."Calm d

Lewis succinctly stated, "Two days, to inspect the project, the Blue Mountain project in Pulu City, there are discrepancies in the accounts." Judy understood; the Blue Mountain project was supervised by Lewis's Uncle Bard. Discrepancies in the accounts definitely couldn't be investigated openly; they could only make an unannounced visit. Judy didn't say anything more. They drove out of the city and soon got onto the highway. As a subordinate, Judy sat in the passenger seat while her boss drove; she felt slightly awkward about it. The two didn't speak throughout the trip, and the silence was somewhat oppressive. Judy noticed some water in the glove compartment and tried to make conversation: "Sir, would you like some water?" "No need." Judy silently put the mineral water back and glanced at the dashboard; the speed had reached 130 km/h. The car was steady, as if everything was under his control. Lewis was that kind of person, tactical and in control of everything. Judy felt a

Their conversation suddenly took a turn towards the topic of baby.Judy thought of the baby in her belly, and her feelings immediately became complex and apprehensive. Did Lewis like baby?Lewis calmly took a sip of juice and analyzed objectively, "Children are the most troublesome creatures in this world. You think she is cute because you haven't seen the trouble children can cause. Children are the least rewarding investment in this world. Decades of hard work might yield no return at all."Judy was speechless.He didn't like baby.Judy's hand instinctively touched her lower abdomen, a bitter taste welling up in her heart.He considered children a kind of investment.Judy disagreed strongly, "No parents consider having children as an investment, expecting a return."Lewis retorted, "Then why have children? Just to have someone call you mom or dad?"Judy was at a loss for words, knowing that what Lewis said was unreasonable, yet seemingly unable to refute it."Sir, don't you plan to
