Chapter Sixteen: Unknown number

Sarah stared at the message until the words blurred at the edges.

Sarah you are done for.

Four words. Unknown number. No context, no name, no explanation-just those four words sitting on her screen like a stone dropped into still water.

She locked the phone and set it down. Then she picked it up again. Then she locked it again.

Madam Cassy was watching her from across the room. "What is it.

"Nothing," Sarah said. The word came out too quickly. Madam Cassy's expr

  • Triplets for the Cold-Hearted CEO    CHAPTER THIRTY

    SARAH IS DIGGING HER OWN GRAVENathan's cold, dark eyes landed on Jane. It was a light gaze, but it carried a chill that made Jane instantly fall silent, even though she had been about to speak.A thin layer of sweat appeared on Jane’s forehead. She had almost forgotten that the man before her, who held the power of life and death, did not like being questioned.She opened her mouth to explain, but Nathan's icy voice cut through the air: "When did it become so that I can't even approve a design? Ms. Jane as the design director of the Reeds Group, surely you have more grace than this?Or is it that you can't stand someone else's work being better than yours?”Jane's face went pale. She had overstepped her bounds. Cold sweat dripped from her forehead as she hurried to explain, "No, that's not what I meant, Mr. Reed. It's just that my skills aren't as good!"Jane felt a twinge of unwillingness in her heart, but she didn't dare say more.Nathan didn't say anything else and turned to leave

    The Elegant DressThe screen in the conference room began displaying the first draft. The draft was anonymous, and no one present knew whose it was.Sophie, Sarah's friend and her CEO, was naturally among the attendees. She glanced at Sarah with a raised eyebrow and mouthed, "How's it going?"Sarah, catching Sophie's eye, took advantage of everyone's focus on the design draft on the screen and mouthed back confidently, "Guaranteed win."Sophie looked at the confident woman before her. Bold! She liked it! She turned her attention back to the screen.The design draft was exquisite, clearly the result of meticulous effort. Everyone had a good idea of whose work it was.The department managers all had good relationships and didn't want to offend anyone, so they began to comment:"This dress design is spot on, perfectly capturing Mrs. Reed's elegant demeanor.""Yes, the tailored fit and intricate embellishments leave nothing to criticize, in my opinion."As ev

    Quite The Bold Statement Later in the day. At the Reeds Design Department. Today was the final submission date given by Mrs. Reed, so she had no choice but to show up.After what had happened earlier in the morning Emma had gone to the company that morning to know if Jane had designed the birthday clothes for her mother in-law telling them that Mrs Reed wanted to embarrass Sarah that's why she approached her.Sophie had travelled for work so she wasn't present. So Sarah decided to go to the cafeteria to get her lunch. But when she got downstairs Ivy and Jane were there."Well, if it isn't the international fashion chief designer, Sarh. Didn't expect you'd dare show your face after such a scandal," Ivy taunted, following behind Jane.Earlier this morning, Sarah had slapped her and made her kneel in public. Ivy couldn't let that go!Sarah looked up, her clear eyes calm and composed, without uttering a word.Ivy, seeing her so unfazed, felt her anger rise and continued i

    Mr Nathan is Emma's ManSarah dug out her old sketches. The theme back then was maturity and elegance, featuring a deep blue gown. The dress seemed simple, but its bold design made it stand out.Part of the reason she won the gold award was because, despite its simplicity, the dress was eye-catching and gave the wearer a sense of understated elegance.Sarah studied the sketch, resting her chin on her hand. The matriarch of the Reeds Group probably wouldn't like something too plain. After pondering for a moment, she picked up her pen and added a touch of glamour to the original design.This instantly transformed the oncesimple gown into something regal and more luxurious.Sarah looked at her completed design, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.She had done her part; whether or not it would be used was up to Mrs. ReedsThe next day.When Sarah arrived at the design department, she found someone waiting at the door Ms Jane A bit surprised, she was about to walk past as

    GET OUT Emma had been fuming the whole time.She couldn't read Sarah's next move, and it was making her sick. The slap video had gone viral the way she wanted. Then it started disappearing. Quietly. Efficiently. She needed it up. She needed people to keep blaming Sarah. Even though she had nothing to do with the man who had claimed the children,she was beginning to understand what was actually happening."Emma." Her mother's voice was careful. "So you're telling me those kids could be Nathan's?"She didn't look surprised. That was the part that stung."Mom, what else do you want me to say? Tell me how Alex and that boy look that much alike. The girl too.""Then why isn't he the biological father?"The question knocked something loose inside her. She'd been turning it over herself. She thought about the day she'd seen Nathan taking the kids' hair. Was he hiding something? Nothing was adding up. The more she dug, the more tangled it got."Maybe someone tampered with the re

    ARE YOU CHEATING ON EMMA It was Mrs. Reed.Sarah picked up the call and her heart went still."Ms. Irish, I'm coming to check on the pattern tomorrow."She could only get out one word."Okay."The call ended.She hadn't even looked at the sketch. She gathered her things and started the drive home, her mind somewhere else the whole way.Back at the house, Adin was already working.He was the one who had sent the information to Sophie anonymously. Now he was on the video, the one that had circulated about his mother. He hacked the main account, deleted it. Then moved on to the others.One by one.Across the city, Nathan hadn't said anything about the slap video.He was still angry about the DNA results. The kind of anger that had no clean reason behind it, which only made it worse. His phone lit up. He checked the name before picking up."Hi, Mom. If you're calling about the slap, I don't have anything to say.""Why don't you have anything to say when it's about your wife
