Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 346 Stirring Up Trouble
As the three women walked past a glass-walled conference room, Adela and Cici instantly turned their heads. A wave of pressure hit them like a wall—every hair on their bodies stood on end.Inside, seven or eight middle-aged men sat around an oval table. They were all dressed in black suits, each holding a cigarette, the air thick with smoke.What made their scalps go numb wasn’t just the haze, but the cold, indifferent glances the men cast toward them—void of warmth. Adela spotted Robbie among them, his expression tense, clearly in the middle of something serious.Robbie only cast them a glance before looking away.The three women continued behind the sweet-looking assistant until they reached an office.As soon as they were gone, one of the men seated across from Robbie asked dryly,“His woman?”Robbie hesitated, then gave a short nod.Another man, confused by the vague exchange, asked, “Who?”A snort came from one corner. “Who else? That little wolf cub.”The room fell quiet for a b
Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 345 Doesn’t Seem Like an Office Worker
Helen said each word slowly and seriously, clearly not joking: “Rather than cripple her legs, the boss would’ve preferred to blind her.”As one of Layson’s discreetly trained confidants, Helen had a fair sense of his temper. Susan had hit several of Layson’s bottom lines: hurting Adela, and, more importantly, calling him “blind” with that snide comment—“must be blind to like her.”That phrase had clearly gotten under Layson’s skin. A classic case of suffering the consequences of a loose tongue. Susan was the perfect example.Adela and Cici had genuinely been hoping for an answer. But when they heard that explanation, their expressions turned skeptical.“Are you serious?” Cici couldn’t hold it in after a minute.Helen nodded solemnly. “I’m serious. If the boss had done it, Susan would be blind, not crippled. Crippling both legs? That’s not his style.”Adela blinked in confusion and exchanged a look with Cici. Layson has a “style”? That was… news.Helen went on, “The reason he hasn’t ac

Layson sat in the backseat of the car, the corners of his lips lifting as he recalled what Mrs. Campell had said. A hint of amusement danced in his eyes. He spoke lazily, “Barnes, tell me—what does ‘never appear in front of me again’ even mean?”After Mrs. Campell made her promise, he didn’t linger. He simply left one sentence behind: “Now that the land is in my hands, I won’t give it up. I’ll accept today’s apology, but I hope there won’t be a next time.”But Layson didn’t buy it.From the look on Bard’s face, it was clear he wouldn’t let this go so easily. Layson chuckled silently. Interesting.The Campell family business is pretty substantial, isn’t it? he mused lightly.Barnes, unaware of what Layson was thinking, dared not guess. He stole a glance at the rearview mirror—and just that one glance made his scalp tingle.Though the boss was smiling, there was clear calculation in his eyes—a predator sizing up prey.“With Mrs. Campell’s usual methods, she’ll probably send Bard oversea

Mrs. Campell wore a frosty expression as she made an internal call. Her voice was icy and flat, devoid of emotion: “Bring Bard to my office immediately. If he refuses, break his legs and drag him here!”The assistant felt a chill crawl down his spine. The Chairwoman was truly furious this time—violently so.She looked like she had aged ten years as she sat at her desk, exhaustion etched faintly on her face. Still, her voice remained calm. “Investigate Bard’s itinerary for the past week—down to the hour. I want every detail, every event, every encounter. Not a word missing.”The assistant gave her a quick glance and immediately backed out without a word.Mrs. Campell stared at her reflection on the darkened screen, brows furrowed tightly. Eventually, she made a call. Before this, she had already contacted Mr. Campell—Bard’s father—to try speaking with Richard Norman.After all, the root of this problem lay with Layson Norman. But she knew very well—even if Richard were to step in, it m
Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 342 The Land Was Snatched
Adela wasn’t the bravest person—anytime she was startled or stressed, she wouldn’t sleep well. After the car accident last time, it had taken her over a week of rest before her sleep returned to normal.Tonight, they were already past her usual bedtime. The room was dark and quiet, and Layson Norman's eyes were unreadable, blending into the shadows.“It’s not that I was scared,” she muttered, her head resting lightly on the man’s chest, letting out a soft sigh. “He was more annoying than frightening.”“Just because I slapped his girlfriend, he’s so biased against me?”Adela pouted. She genuinely felt wronged. “That woman even kidnapped Cici. Why isn’t he mentioning that?”Hearing her soft complaints, Layson frowned slightly in confusion. “You care about his opinion that much?”She paused for a moment, then curled her lip. “If I cared so much about what people thought, I wouldn’t have survived this long.”She didn’t even want to mention the rumors from six years ago. If she had cared b
Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 341 You're Not Qualified Yet
Adela’s calm and assertive tone was too composed, even Bard’s friend started doubting. He turned to Bard and asked, “Did you actually investigate this properly?”Bard sneered coldly. “Why would I need to investigate? Susan told me herself.”Everyone gave Bard a blank stare, the words “brainless fool” practically flashing above his head.How ridiculous did one have to be to accuse someone based solely on one sentence from Susan?Even Bard’s own friend found it unreliable and tugged on his sleeve, whispering, “Better send someone to check the facts. If she really did it, we’ll make her pay for every bit.”Because it was his buddy, Bard didn’t embarrass him on the spot. But when he turned back to look at Adela, his eyes were laced with venom.He growled with hatred in his voice, “I, Bard Campell , don’t let things slide. No matter how well you act, this is personal now—and I’ll definitely get my revenge.”The moment his words dropped, the air turned icy cold.Then came a man’s voice—calm
