Chapter 99

Penulis: Little Happiness
I rubbed my ears and said, "I shouldn't have waited outside for you. You're so noisy!"

Instead of getting upset, Terence just laughed. "Stop pretending that you don't care. The way you acted today proves that you have feelings for me."

I couldn't be bothered with his narcissistic ways. I asked for his address, hoping to quickly send him home to Gloria.

To my surprise, he rattled off the address of my own apartment complex.

"Terence, there's no way that I'm letting you into my place!" I snapped, feeling annoyed. I was suddenly reminded of how he had pestered me nonstop during our school days. I could already feel a headache coming on.

Terence rubbed his nose, asking seriously, "What do you mean? Did you buy the whole complex? If you can live there, why can't I?"

I stared at him in disbelief.

He explained, "The owner of the unit above yours is now me. From now on, we're upstairs and downstairs neighbors."

"What?" My head spun.

It wasn't until we got into the elevator that I real

    "Alright," I replied.I figured I might as well pick up the report and stop by Christine's ward to share the good news. If she could land a few more scoops like this, her position as director would be even more secure.On the way to the hospital, I was in good spirits. After all, I'd thought that yesterday's blood draw was only to rule out that one-in-ten-thousand chance and give myself peace of mind. I never believed I could be that unlucky to hit that vanishingly slight possibility. But when I collected the report and returned to the OB-GYN department, the doctor looked at me and said, "Based on the date of your last period, you're five weeks pregnant."I froze, unable to believe what I'd just heard. "Are you sure?"Holding up the report, the doctor replied matter-of-factly, "I've been an obstetrician for decades. Do you really think I'd misread a pregnancy test?My heart instantly went cold. Worse still, I began recalling everything that had happened lately and hurriedly aske

    I had no interest in playing along with Timothy and Harriet's little performance. "If you want answers, ask your mother," I said flatly, and walked away.Back at the office, I skipped lunch and dove straight into writing the article.At that moment, countless patients and families relying on cardiopulmonary support devices were anxiously waiting for the release date. But Grant Corporation, desperate to protect Gregory, had been dragging its feet. They pleaded and bargained with the review board, refusing to admit that their main developer was a problem.I included Gregory's academic background and published papers in the article. That morning, while running a background check on him, I'd discovered that not only were his credentials fake, but even his journal papers might not have been written by him.I sent the completed article to Christine for review, and she approved it promptly. When the article went live that afternoon, it shot straight to the top of the trending list.

    Just as I stepped into the courtyard, Timothy's car pulled in. Moments later, he and Yasmin got out with Daphne."Daddy, carry me!" Daphne cooed, stretching her arms toward him.Timothy smiled gently and scooped her up. "Our little Daphne's gotten heavier again."Yasmin laughed sweetly beside him. "That's because you've been spending time with us every day lately. She's in such a good mood, her appetite's gotten better!"The three of them were all smiles, chatting and laughing together—until they saw me. Their laughter froze in an instant, as if I were the only unwanted guest in this home.Daphne complained, "Daddy, Grandma said you already fired that lady. Why is she here again?"Yasmin, ever the picture of grace and understanding, softly said, "Tim, I'll take Daphne inside. You two can talk."Timothy handed Daphne over to her, and even as they walked into the house, his gaze followed them.I was still furious and sickened after dealing with Harriet and Emily earlier. My tears

    The next day, I went back to the office and continued digging into Gregory and Grant Corporation's cardiopulmonary support device.When lunch break came, I went to see Harriett.Her butler, unsurprisingly, took his cues from her. He didn't bother with a proper greeting and said curtly, "Follow me."Inside the mansion, Harriett and Emily were chatting away. The moment Emily saw me, her gaze swept over me from head to toe, openly mocking.Harriett, on the other hand, plastered on a fake smile. "You're here. I suppose you couldn't wait to divorce Timothy so you can run off with that bastard, Terence."I kept my expression neutral. "Cut the nonsense. You said you wanted me to sign. Bring out the divorce agreement."She clearly hadn't expected me to be so blunt. Although she was looking forward to the divorce, she'd probably imagined me in tears, begging to stay. But to her disappointment, I wasn't giving her that satisfaction.The butler brought the divorce agreement over, and Harri

    I stared at the darkened phone screen, feeling puzzled. That was when Christine's voice pulled me back. "Josie, can you please not resign?"Her eyes were filled with desperation. "I was wrong. I never should've been foolish enough to listen to Yasmin. I thought she wanted to teach you a lesson by letting David take advantage of you a little. I didn't think she could be that cruel.""Do you have any proof that she told you to do it? A recording, WhatsApp messages, anything?" I asked.Christine's expression dropped in guilt. "It was her brother who met me that day. He passed along her message. I trusted Gregory back then, so I didn't record anything."Disappointment sank in my chest. If there had been a recording or chat logs, I could've torn off Yasmin's mask and exposed the truth.Christine seemed to sense what I was thinking. "From what I know of Yasmin, she has always been underhanded. She never gets her own hands dirty. If you want to catch her slipping, you'll have to dig deep

    I thought about how Gregory had taken Christine to the dinner party yesterday. It was hard to believe that he could turn his back on her after a night. Christine suddenly burst into tears—not quiet or restrained, but uncontrollable sobs.I was caught off guard and didn't know what to do. "What's wrong with you? Don't just cry. Say something!"It was a long time before she finally managed to speak. "He asked me to meet him this afternoon. He told me that he brought me some vitamins, which were good for the baby. I really thought they were vitamins…"I was shocked. It turned out the abortion pills hadn't been taken by Christine herself—Gregory had tricked her into it. I felt the recorder in my pocket but decided not to play it for her. Knowing what his family had said would only break her further.Just then, I saw her picking up her phone. "Who are you calling?" I asked. There was still a flicker of hope in her eyes as she replied, "Gregory. I just want to ask him what he's think
