Mrs. Rojas softened her tone slightly, trying to console her. “You need to trust me, Katherine. We will handle this.” Katherine’s eyes brimmed with tears, and she sank to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. “You don’t understand,” she choked out. “Lillian is pregnant. I can never have him back now.” Mrs. Rojas was taken aback, her eyes widening in shock. “Pregnant? Are you sure?” Katherine nodded, tears streaming down her face. “Yes, and now Sebastian will never leave her. I’ve lost him forever.” A strange glint appeared in Mrs. Rojas’s eyes as she processed the information. Despite the initial shock, she felt a twisted sense of satisfaction. This turn of events made things even more interesting. “Listen to me, Katherine,” she said, her voice firm but oddly soothing. “This isn’t over. You haven’t lost the battle yet.” Katherine looked up, her eyes filled with hopelessness. “How can you say that? She’s carrying his child. He’ll never come back to me now.” Mrs. Rojas crouched down,

Lillian sat on the veranda, the afternoon sun casting a warm glow over her. She placed a hand on her growing belly, feeling the gentle movements within. It had been getting harder to hide her pregnancy, especially with her stomach beginning to bulge noticeably. The reality of her condition was becoming impossible to conceal. Mrs. Rojas had been acting unusually kind and attentive lately, a change that didn't go unnoticed by Lillian. The older woman would often bring her herbal teas and insist on her resting more. Today was no different. "Lillian, dear," Mrs. Rojas's voice floated through the air as she approached, a tray of steaming tea in her hands. "I've brought you some chamomile. It's good for the nerves." "Thank you," Lillian replied, accepting the cup with a polite smile. She took a sip, the warm liquid soothing her throat. But a nagging suspicion lingered in her mind. Why was Mrs. Rojas suddenly so caring? "How are you feeling today?" Mrs. Rojas asked, her eyes lingering

The tension in the room was thick enough to cut with a knife. Lillian, Sebastian, and Mrs. Rojas sat at one end of the long, polished table, facing the head chairwoman and chairman along with two other head coordinators. The stern expressions on their faces did little to quell the sense of impending doom. The head chairwoman, Ms. Delaney, leaned forward, her eyes sharp and unforgiving. "Today’s board meeting was nothing short of a disgrace. It’s clear that the Alfred family is treating this company as a playground for their personal dramas." Lillian’s heart sank, the weight of the accusation heavy. She glanced at Sebastian, who gave her a slight nod, his face resolute. Ms. Delaney stood up, her voice rising. "Because of the disturbance caused, we have no choice but to suspend the Alfred family from all board meetings until further notice." "No," Lillian whispered, her voice barely audible. She felt the world slipping from under her feet. "Please, you don’t understand." The head c

The Substitute Billionaire Wife 53. Last Target
Katherine stood outside the family house, her breath coming in short, angry bursts. Tonight, she would finally confront her father. She pushed open the door, her footsteps echoing through the quiet hallways. With each step she took, her anger built up inside her like a storm ready to unleash. As she reached her father's study, she stopped and took a deep breath. She pushed open the door and stepped inside, her eyes blazing with fury. Mr. Alfred was sitting at his desk, his face calm but his eyes filled with sadness. He looked up and met her gaze, a look of understanding passing between them. "Katherine," he said softly, "I knew you would come." Katherine clenched her fists, her voice trembling with rage. "You knew? Of course, you did. You think you're so clever, don't you? But you're going to pay for what you've done." Mr. Alfred stood up slowly, his eyes never leaving hers. "Katherine, please, let's talk about this." "Talk?" Katherine spat, taking a step closer.

Lillian's thoughts churned as she replayed the confrontation between her father and Katherine in her mind. The tension, the anger, the heartbreak—it was all too much to process. She felt a deep, gnawing concern for her sister, despite everything. Katherine's pain was evident, but Lillian couldn't shake the feeling that something more sinister was at play. Determined to check on her sister, Lillian made her way down the long, dim hallway to Katherine's room. She paused in front of the door, hesitating. She knocked twice, her knuckles rapping softly against the wood. There was no response. She knocked again, louder this time. Still, silence. Lillian's heart quickened as she pushed the door slightly, peering inside. The room was neat, the bed made with military precision, the curtains drawn just enough to let in a sliver of light. She stepped inside, her eyes scanning for any sign of Katherine. There was none. She sighed deeply, her concern morphing into a mix of frustration and anxie
