Charles and Gina were both upset.
Charles was worried about Mrs. Keylani's response to the next situation, after finding out that he and Nathalie had divorced. He was also annoyed at Nicholas who seemed to have relatives everywhere, even Mrs. Keylani. What a lucky rich bastard.
Gina was restless because she felt jealous of Nathalie's luck. Since the beginning of her time with Charles, she was sure that Charles' wife who was going to be divorced would have a hard time moving on from Charles.
How could she not. Charles was rich, a CEO of a big company, his family was well-known, and he was also very handsome and cool. She felt satisfied because Charles chose her. Her pregnancy was her luck.
Who said a woman from an ordinary background like her couldn't beat a woman who was said to be a graduate of a famous university and also had great talent as an interior designer.
However, the good reality turned out to still be on that woman's side.

"Ah, ah, ah!”Natalie was stunned when suddenly her husband's lover, Gina, slid to the floor.What the hell was going on here? She didn't push her.Then, when she heard Charles growling angrily behind her, she understood."NATHALIE! ARE YOU CRAZY? DO YOU WANT TO KILL GINA'S BABY?" Charles immediately hugged Gina and shouted at her.What?!Natalie's eyes darkened and she stroked her stomach, trying to digest this new development. Little did she know that her husband's mistress was also pregnant, and her heart was squeezed again.She knew her husband had cheated on her because she had been unable to give him a child, and she had just been informed by the hospital that she was pregnant.She had come to ask her husband to return. She froze."You can be angry with me, Nathalie, but please have mercy on my baby," Gina moaned pitifully. "This baby is innocent and even though Charles won't marry me, I will still keep him.""Who said I wouldn't marry you, baby?" Charles snapped, ignoring natal
Nicolas gazed intently at the woman lying on the bed before him, his fists clenched and the veins on his forearms pulsing, showing his anger. After being separated for nearly seven years, he never expected to see Natalie again in such a miserable state.Natalie was an exceptionally beautiful woman, with an oval face, smooth porcelain-like skin, round clear eyes the deep green of emeralds, and a near-perfect nose and lips. Her long, wavy golden-brown hair cascaded down her back. When they were still in the same school, she was undoubtedly the campus star.But now, the sight before him was starkingly different. She was still beautiful, but her face was gaunt, with dark hollows under her sunken eyes that made one uneasy, and her body was emaciated.Nicolas took out his phone from his coat pocket and sent a message to his personal assistant George, who was handling some matters.As he saw Natalie's fingers move slowly, he lifted his gaze from the phone screen."My baby..." Natalie said in
Angel Wing Hospital"Don't worry, Mr. Frederick, your wife and your baby are safe and sound. Your wife is just in a bit of shock and needs to rest," said Dr. Torrance."Are you sure there is no danger that will threaten their safety, doc?" asked Charles, still with great worry."Yes, Mr. Frederick, I will continue to monitor the condition of your wife and baby," replied Dr. Torrance. "No need to worry."However, what Dr. Torrance said did not calm Charles down. He was worried about Gina.His lover continued to tremble and her eyes were blank. Charles thought that Gina's emotions were on edge."Baby, hey, don't worry. You and our baby are fine," Charles tried to persuade. He stroked Gina's messy hair, trying to encourage his future wife.Gina sobbed and she gripped Charles' arm tightly. "I must have made a big mistake, Charles. I have made a big mistake and this child will suffer the consequences! My child would be a bastard, and I feared that he would be discriminated against at birt
Nathalie stared at the sheets of paper in front of her with a blank stare. These papers, once she signed them, would be the fire that burned everything she had been through with Charles for the past five, no, eight years.Nathalie took a deep breath, closed her eyes for a moment, then scratched her pen on the paper.Nathalie called the nurse who had previously brought the papers to her and asked her to return the papers to Charles.Nathalie lay on a comfortable bed in the VIP treatment room, staring at the high ceiling above her.Her hand touched her flat stomach. Before, even though it was flat, she felt something trying to grow inside it. A small and weak soul, hoping to become big and strong.What Charles, Gina, and Kelly did, was just killing that soul, taking away its chance to live."I'm sorry, baby," Nathalie whispered to herself. "I couldn't protect you. I promise I'll do anything to repay them, baby."Tears flowed down Nathalie's cheeks, fast and silent. She squeezed her stom
"W-what do you mean, you want to propose to me?" Nathalie was nervous, worried that her ears had misheard Nicholas's words.Natalie couldn't believe that Nicholas had made such a request.Is he playing with me, or is he deliberately trying to make me even more depressed, Nathalie thought, as she stared into Nicholas' sharp and deep eyes, trying to find out what the man in front of her was thinking.She was a woman who had just gotten divorced and worse, she had also just had a miscarriage. Not to mention, her father was still sick.It was an unpleasant experience, experienced at the same time in succession. Nathalie was sure that no other woman could endure all that craziness.Nathalie couldn't even believe that she had gone through all that and was still sane enough to sit here and listen to Nicholas's unreasonable words."Nicholas, you're playing with me, right?" Nathalie asked. She felt irritated, but because Nicholas had helped her so much and she was not someone who was shameles
"Who?"Nathalie couldn't believe her ears. Nurse Lyla from Angel Wing hospital called and told her that a woman came to her father and after the woman left, her father's condition deteriorated again."I don't know who she is, ma'am, but as far as I remember, she was also waiting for someone who was being treated on the sixth floor, obstetrics and gynecology section," Nurse Lyla answered anxiously."I'll be right there," Nathalie said angrily.No need to think too hard, the woman that Nurse Lyla was referring to must be Kelly, or maybe Gina's mother. Both women had evil hearts.Gina was also being treated in the same hospital as her father, because Charles' health insurance referred to Angel Wing hospital as a partner.Now, after all the medical expenses and care were taken over by Nicholas, her father should be able to be transferred to The Grand Care Hospital. That would be safer and more secure, and also make Nathalie calm. She would talk to Nicholas about it.Nathalie slipped out o
Charles PoV"What do you mean, we're getting complaints?" Charles asked angrily. "Everything was fine all this time, why are there complaints all of a sudden? Are you guys doing your job properly?""Mr. Frederick, this is all because of the new design that came out. Customers are dissatisfied because they think there are a lot of insignificant changes and they don't like it," Eren said. He is the chief of marketing division."I'll be there soon," Charles said impatiently."What's wrong, honey?" asked Gina who was woken up from her sleep by Charles' loud voice. "You disturbed my sleep!"Charles felt annoyed because Gina was pouting. He took his jacket and put it on. His mind was tangled."There's a problem at the office," Charles said. "I'll be gone for a while.""But, who will accompany me here," Gina asked in surprise. "I don't want to be alone.""Gina, you're safe here," Charles said in a firm tone. "If anything happens, you can call the nurse and they will take good care of you. I
Natalie PoV"Dad, I didn't do it because of you," Nathalie said carefully.She didn't expect that her father would immediately object when she said she would marry Nicholas.She understood very well that in a state of illness like this, a person can be very sensitive and her father was a man with high self-esteem.He must have felt very weak and helpless that he had to accept help from others, and his daughter had to sacrifice to cover up his weakness."You don't have to do it, honey, you've sacrificed too much for yourself and Charles! I'll knock out all his teeth when I recover and meet him!" Hardy growled emotionally.He really didn't expect that his son-in-law could easily betray and hurt Nathalie. He want to kill Charles!Plus he did it because he thought that Nathalie couldn't give him a child, while at the same time he himself killed his future child. Charles is an evil. How could he did that to his daughter?"Dad, don't worry about Charles. He has nothing to do with me, you, o
Charles and Gina were both upset.Charles was worried about Mrs. Keylani's response to the next situation, after finding out that he and Nathalie had divorced. He was also annoyed at Nicholas who seemed to have relatives everywhere, even Mrs. Keylani. What a lucky rich bastard.Gina was restless because she felt jealous of Nathalie's luck. Since the beginning of her time with Charles, she was sure that Charles' wife who was going to be divorced would have a hard time moving on from Charles.How could she not. Charles was rich, a CEO of a big company, his family was well-known, and he was also very handsome and cool. She felt satisfied because Charles chose her.

The lunch was only fun for Nicholas, Nathalie, and Mrs. Keylani.Charles and Gina sat uncomfortably, as if there were nails in the chairs they were sitting on."Mr. Frederick, why didn't you just tell me that you and Nathalie are divorced?" Mrs. Keylani asked in an unamused tone. "At least that would reduce the discomfort between us.""Yes, I'm sorry, Mrs. Keylani," Charles said embarrassedly.Mrs. Keylani turned to look at Gina. "And you, ma'am, didn't have to be so rude to tell me. I'm sure Nathalie wouldn't think of going back to your husband. She's with a Grand!"Gina pouted, but Charles nudged her leg under the table and Gina quickly lowered her head and apologized softly.Mrs. Keylani ignored them after that and was only busy talking to Nicholas and Nathalie."I was friends with her late mother, since Nicholas and my daughter, Marilyn, were born in the same hospital and almost got mixed up," said Mrs. Keylani."However, s
"It's so nice to see you again, Nathalie," Mrs. Keylani said. She looked at Nathalie from head to toe and back to her face. "You're getting more beautiful and glowing.""Thank you," Nathalie said. "You also look healthy and fresh.""There's a job that makes me excited, after my husband passed away," Mrs. Keylani said cheerfully."Ah, my condolences on your husband's passing," Nathalie said."Tsk, that was almost two years ago," Mrs. Keylani said with a laugh. She moved closer to Nathalie and whispered, "Being single is quite fun, especially if you have a large inheritance."Nathalie laughed. "As long as you're healthy and happy, Ma'am.""I was so happy when I found out that you would also come to supervise the work. I remember, when you supervised my first resort, you were so meticulous and detailed, so that when everything was finished, I was very satisfied with the results and even before my husband died, he kept saying that he wanted you
"Nicholas? Honey?"Nicholas turned his head, diverting his attention from the trunk he was about to close. "Yes, baby?"Nathalie pointed at the villa in front of her. "Are we really going to stay here?""Hm, yes," Nicholas said. He approached Nathalie while dragging two suitcases, his and hers. "Why? Do you think the place is not big enough? Not comfortable enough? I'll ask for a more--"Nathalie stood on tiptoe and kissed Nicholas, to silence him. "Sshhh...."Nicholas smiled and kissed Nathalie back. "Shall we try the bed right away?"Nathalie laughed. "Young Master Grand, my pervert love man, I mean, this is a very nice and big villa. We can even bring four or five more people here and it still feels spacious."Nicholas laughed. He moved closer to Nathalie. "Isn't that great? We can try every corner freely."Nathalie glanced and laughed at Nicholas' flirtatious words. She grabbed one of the suitcases from Nicholas' hand.
"Oh, I hate my body," Gina said, staring at herself in the mirror behind her."Tch, your body is fine," Marla said in an annoyed tone. "You're just pregnant and bear it, don't complain too much. Charles won't like it. He'll think you don't want to have his child!""I'm going on a strict diet after I give birth," Gina said, rubbing her stomach. "Oh, but this is a really pretty beach dress.""I really can't come?" Marla asked. She sighed, envious of her daughter's youthfulness. Even with her pregnant and growing body, Gina still looked beautiful in the beach dress Charles had just bought her, a set with a bikini."Don't be ridiculous, Mom," Gina said. "This is my first vacation with Charles, of course you can't come."Gina was very enthusiastic about preparing for this vacation to the Maldives. She had never been to the Maldives and of course it was on her wish list of vacation destinations she wanted to visit.In the past, when she first star
Charles was happy because Nathalie accepted his offer of cooperation.He did not delay long and immediately made a cooperation contract. Nathalie is a freelance design staff for Mrs. Keylani's current resort project.At first Charles was a bit annoyed because the price Nathalie asked for was very high, but he was satisfied seeing the initial design sketch given by Nathalie and was willing to pay according to Nathalie's request."Make sure all the details are the same and don't miss anything. This is my late husband's request," said Mrs. Keylani for the umpteenth time. "Please supervise the workers so that there are no mistakes or shortcomings.""Of course, Mrs. Keylani. We will try our best to realize the same resort as before, to fulfill your late husband's wishes," replied Charles."Ah, and if possible, I also want to meet your wife again, Mr. Frederick. I really like Nathalie. She is smart, beautiful, and kind. You are lucky to be with her," add
"You're going to take three days off and just leave the company?" Andy snapped in a high tone."I'm not just leaving the company," Nicholas retorted with furrowed brows. "Why do you use such a negative-sounding term?"Andy snorted. "You're irresponsible, Nicholas! You still have a lot of work to do and your three months are almost over. Are you going to leave so much burden for Leon when he comes back?"Nicholas slammed the table hard. His eyes shone very sharply and his lips formed a sarcastic smile."I'm irresponsible? Are you seriously saying that? Are you blind? In these two months, how many projects can I break through? How many pending jobs can I complete? Do I need to take the company's profit chart from the finance department? Or a record of how many new projects came in in the two months when I was CEO, compared to what your other son had produced?"Nicholas' words were very calm, but sharp and piercing. He stared straight into Andy's eyes without blinking."I don't understan
"Who?"Nathalie's eyes widened.She was finishing checking some new designs her staff had made when the phone on her desk rang and the receptionist told her that a man named Charles Frederick wanted to see her."He said his name was Charles Frederick, ma'am. He said he wanted to talk about a joint project."Nathalie didn't know what Charles wanted, but it must have been important enough for him to come to what was clearly a rival company."Tell him to wait in the main living room," Nathalie said. "Ah, Katty?""Yes, ma'am?" Katty said."Turn on the AC to maximum, and all the lights on our display boards," Nathalie said."Yes, ma'am, I will," Katty said."Call me back in half an hour after he sits down," Nathalie added.After hanging up, Nathalie picked up her phone and sent a message to Nicholas."Charles came here and said he wanted to meet to discuss a joint project."Nicholas' reply came about three minutes later."I'm leading a meeting, can't call you. Make sure all the CCTV camera
"So far, in two months, Nicholas has completed four pending project tenders and secured two major projects that previously did not even include us as tender participants," said Mario Marwin."You're right," responded Lorenzo Urbin. "Have you checked the development graph of The Grand Enterprise last month? After previously there was a fairly large decline in numbers, at the beginning of last month the line had registered and at the beginning of this month the line actually went up.""Gentlemen, it crossed my mind some time ago, when observing the development of our shares, could it be that we have chosen the wrong person all this time?" said Abner Jhonson carefully.Lorenzo and Mario exchanged glances. Each was struggling with their thoughts. Questioning again what Abner had said."I've thought about that too," said Lorenzo somewhat embarrassedly. "If we had chosen Nicholas from the start, perhaps the benefits we would have gained would have been enormous."Mario nodded, agreeing with
