Her Baby, My Name, Their Heir Chapter 12
Horizon Port Phase Three restarted after nine days.Clara didn't reopen everything at once.She first removed three suppliers that could not produce original supporting documents.The project loss ended up two hundred million lower than forecast.Sutton Group's cash flow stabilized.The first time the board delivered a complete monthly report to Clara, she still sat near the far edge of the conference table.The difference was that everyone waited for her to speak."Use the second-choice steel supplier."She closed the file."The price is three percent higher."They can guarantee delivery."Someone objected."That increases cost.""One day of another shutdown costs more."Nobody argued after that.When the meeting ended, Clara stayed behind.She reordered quotations from three suppliers.Then she crossed out the lowest-priced company."They're cheaper."But their beneficial ownership overlaps with one of Miles's old suppliers."I looked at the list."You checked?"

News of Lucas's investigation threw the Sutton family into chaos.Grant Consulting's accounts were frozen.Project suppliers arrived together demanding payment.Miles tried to dissolve one of his companies overnight.He could not make the three advance payments disappear.Helen still worked desperately on Serena's behalf.She tried to frame every problem as Lucas acting alone.But the signatures on the original payment records didn't vanish.The final Sutton shareholder meeting was held on Friday.This time, Charles didn't take the chair at the head of the table.Walter left it to a temporary presiding officer.Serena attended.She looked pale.One hand stayed over her stomach."I admit Lucas made mistakes."She looked around at the shareholders."But the baby is innocent."I am still qualified to inherit Sutton Group."Nobody answered.Then she turned to me."Adrian, do you really have to destroy me completely?"I didn't look at her."This is a Sutton shareholder

Three days after the Sutton review began, a legal notice from Lucas arrived at Carter Group.It claimed that although his and Serena's child wasn't biologically mine, the engagement agreement created an expectation of future Carter income and inheritance.The letter also demanded compensation for cancellation of the engagement and child support after birth.Dad finished reading it and asked one question."How do you want to handle this?""Using their own logic."I placed the agreement from the engagement banquet on the table."First, establish that it never took effect."Daniel pulled up the ballroom footage.Serena pushed the agreement toward me.Lucas openly identified himself as the father.I never signed.No Carter seal was applied.Daniel nodded."No contract was formed."The inheritance arrangement has no legal effect.""What about support for the child?""The biological father identified himself publicly."I looked at Lucas's letter."Let him take responsibili

The Sutton family board met three days later.There was only one item on the agenda: whether Serena's status as heir should be suspended.Charles had already released a statement claiming I was using the Carter-Sutton partnership to interfere in Sutton family affairs.On the day of the meeting, Serena wore a loose white dress and sat beside the chair at the head of the table.Her pregnancy was impossible to hide now.She also looked more exhausted than she had at the engagement banquet.Helen kept pouring water for her.Lucas sat in the final row with a legal notice beside his hand.Charles tapped the table."This is an internal Sutton Group meeting."Adrian isn't a Sutton director."He doesn't need to participate."I moved the chair beside me toward Clara."She does."Clara looked up."Me?""You're the authorized project manager and the shareholder representative for the junior side of the family.""I didn't receive a meeting notice.""That's why I brought one for yo

The original payment records came from the port warehouse.The warehouse supervisor, Frank Dolan, was too afraid to come to Carter Group in person.He had someone deliver the documents to reception.Clara opened the brown envelope.Inside were three warehouse logbooks.The covers were dusty.The corners were worn."Why doesn't Finance have these?"She asked.I opened the final book.Received quantities, vehicle plates, loading and unloading times—everything was there.Two days had been circled in red."Only fourteen trucks actually entered on these two days."Clara pointed to the payment sheet."Finance recorded thirty-six.""What's the difference?""Twenty-eight hundred tons of steel." Exactly the shortfall she'd identified that morning.She photographed and archived all three logbooks.Then she called Frank.He remained silent for a long time."I only receive deliveries.""Who told you to alter the records?""Someone from Director Sutton's office.""Which Direc

The story spread faster than any project report.By three that afternoon, several articles were already online.Every headline focused on me humiliating a pregnant woman.None mentioned Lucas.None mentioned the inheritance agreement.The photos all showed Serena with one hand over her belly.The comments were full of people calling me cruel.When Megan Hollis, Carter Group's PR director, brought the coverage into my office, Dad was reading board documents.Megan asked, "Should we release a statement?"I flipped through two pages."No.""But the story will keep growing.""Let it."She looked surprised.I pushed another file toward her."Prepare the audit summary for Horizon Port.""When do we release it?""After they finish talking."That night, Serena sent me an old ribbon-cutting photo.She was holding my arm.The caption read, "I only wanted to give my child a home."I locked my phone without replying.The next morning, Sutton Group held a press conference.I
