Chapter 680

Author: Bodhi Blossom
Benjamin was not someone Holt could afford to cross, nor was his childhood best friend, the wealthiest woman in Dexia, Natalie.

By extension, Holt couldn't afford to cross Cheryl, either. But from a different perspective, Cheryl was a great connection for him, which made her a valuable employee. He decided that Timothy had reaped what he sowed.

Meanwhile, Cheryl stared at her phone screen and saw Benjamin's name at the top of her call log. She thought about asking him what he'd said to Holt but decided against it after some consideration. After all, asking him about it wouldn't make a difference.

She set her phone down and made to get some fresh air on the balcony. She was about to rise to her feet when Elias' text popped up on the screen.

"Are you off work?"

Elias was busy, and so was she. Although they were officially dating, their relationship felt more like that of online friends who were unfamiliar with one another. They hadn't spoken to each other in three days, including t

    Shannon was furious. After all the years she'd worked her tail off, how could she be getting fired over something trivial?Besides, she didn't think it was her fault. It was the dumb Bethany who caused the trouble, so why was she the one getting fired?The more she dwelt on the idea, the more aggrieved she felt. So, she'd been staying outside Natalie's office and was determined to get an explanation.She began by saying, "Mr. Spencer brought Bethany over, and Bethany spilled hot chocolate over an important document. I merely pointed out how serious that was, and she started crying, so Mr. Spencer kicked me out without even hearing my side."Ms. Sutton, I've worked at RN Group for years. Even if he wants to fire me, it shouldn't be for this reason."Natalie didn't believe a word she said. "Are you telling the truth?"Under Natalie's icy gaze, Shannon grew nervous and lowered her eyes. "Ms. Sutton, I'm telling the truth…"Instead of responding immediately, Natalie locked her deep

    Victor's gaze turned cold in an instant.As he turned to look at Shannon, his tone when he spoke was calm but edged with frost. "Did you insult my wife?"Shannon froze as the smugness on her face vanished and was replaced by awkwardness and panic.She hadn't expected this reaction from him and definitely hadn't expected him to step in for Bethany, his dumb wife. "I-I was just joking with her," she stammered.Victor didn't even bother to look at her. Instead, he picked up the slice of strawberry cake from his desk and handed it to Bethany, switching back seamlessly to his gentle tone. "The cake's still fine and edible. You got startled, so have something sweet to calm down."As Bethany accepted the cake, her chest warmed with an aching relief. Her tears slowed. Victor grabbed a tissue and gently dabbed at the small splash of hot chocolate on the hem of her shirt in patient, meticulous actions. It was only when he'd cleaned her up that he finally looked up at Shannon.His tone

    The hot chocolate ran rapidly across the edge of the folder, its dark brown liquid seeping into the white paper like ugly stains and instantly soaking several pages of the contract printed with black text.Bethany stood frozen in place. Her fingers were still locked in the stiff, getting-up posture, and her eyes were fixed on the soiled documents. Her face was so pale that even her lips had lost their color.Shannon rushed forward to shove her aside and frantically tried to save the documents but pulled her hand back when her fingertips touched the damp, cold papers. The ink had begun to bleed, blurring the clear numbers into a mess. Some parts of the documents were even stuck together.When she looked up, her eyes blazed with anger and contempt. "Do you have any idea what these are? This is the contract Mr. Spencer signed with Ascension Holdings yesterday. Now that you've ruined them, can you even make up for it?"She gave Bethany another hard push, and her voice was so shrill i

    Bethany looked up at the cold glint in Victor's eyes and blinked.Perhaps sensing he'd been too stern, he took a deep breath and gently knocked her head. "They're just jealous of you, silly. If they say something like that again, throw rocks at them. Then tell me, and I'll stand up for you."His words seemed to finally reassure her. "Okay. I got it now."Smiling sweetly, she wrapped her arms around his waist while her gaze drifted to her belly. "Victor, we're going to have another baby. I'm a little scared but also a little happy."He gently stroked her back and replied in a soft, gentle voice, "Don't be scared. I'm here. It'll be the four of us soon, and I'll take care of all of you."Moonlight slipped through the gap in the curtains and bathed the embracing couple in its glow. The air around them felt warm and sweet with intimacy.Leaning against Victor's chest, Bethany slowly closed her eyes with a content smile still hanging on her lips.After a long pause, he lowered his he

    Victor's fingertips still carried the coolness from the keyboard. When they brushed against the back of Bethany's warm hand, he couldn't help but gently stroke it a few times.When he noticed how drowsy she was, even the corner of her book creased between her tired fingers, his voice instinctively softened as he reached out and tucked a stray strand of her hair behind her ear."What kind of secret was important enough to keep you awake? You can barely keep your eyes open."At those words, Bethany straightened a little. Her hands gently fell on her lower abdomen as if she were holding a precious treasure.The warm glow from the bedside lamp illuminated the flush on her cheeks. Even the tears from her earlier yawning made her look adorably soft. Her voice was soft and light, brimming with barely contained joy as she said, "Victor, I think there's another baby in my tummy. Laura's going to be a big sister."At that, Victor froze. His hand, which had been resting on her shoulder, ho

    When Natalie got home, Rowley, Wanda, and Susan were already asleep. She returned to her room and took a hot shower before slipping into bed.She'd finish the last of her work tomorrow. After that, she wanted to catch the late flight to Velmont. Something in her gut told her that she should be near Rowan right now.With that thought, she called Victor.He picked up with a slightly hoarse voice, as if he'd just woken up. In the background, she could finally hear the faint clatter of keyboard taps, which suggested that he might have been wrapping up unfinished work from during the day."What's up, Natalie?"She shifted her pillow into a more comfortable position. "Nothing. I just need you to compress tomorrow's schedule as much as possible. I'm thinking of taking the last flight to Velmont, so help me book a seat."There was a two-second pause before the scratch of a pen on paper came from the other end of the line. "The last flight departs at 10:15 pm. After checking right now… I
