Simon looked at the puzzled Calla. He was a little embarrassed to say it but still told her, "Mrs. Garland, Ms. Horn is inside. Hearing that, Calla stared at Simon in shock. She then looked at the door in front of her, dazed for a moment. There seemed to be a bit of reluctance in Simon's eyes, but there was nothing he could do. Calla didn't understand why Mercer had brought Peggy here at this time—but she had a feeling that it wasn't for anything good. Then, Calla took a step forward and gently pushed the door open.As soon as the door opened, Calla saw Mercer and Peggy sitting shoulder to shoulder. Mercer was wearing a white shirt. His face was slightly flushed—likely from drinking a bit of alcohol. Peggy was sitting in front of him in a V-neck blouse. The neckline was plunging as low as it could go. She looked radiant, constantly placing food onto Mercer's plate. Their postures and the strange atmosphere around them clearly indicated an unusual relationship.At that moment, C

From that day on, Calla started experiencing morning sickness. They were quite severe. She almost couldn't eat anything without throwing up. Any pungent or strong smell would make her vomit violently. Within a few days. She was listless and had lost a lot of weight. One morning, Derek handed Calla a document and instructed, "This is last month's financial report. Mr. Garland is waiting for it. Deliver it immediately."Calla frowned after hearing that she had to deliver the report to Mercer. She was reluctant to see him at the moment. Seeing Calla hesitate, Derek frowned and said, "The task is easy. I've been trying to accommodate you. I don't make you work overtime or force you to spend too much time on the computer. But you need to understand my position as well. I can't manage everyone if there's no order.""No problem. I was just wondering if there were any issues with the report. It would be bad if Mr. Garland sends it back." Calla quickly found an excuse. After all, work

Over the following week, Calla felt like she was living in hell. Her pregnancy symptoms were severe, and she couldn't keep anything down. Despite her sallow complexion and poor condition, she continued to go to work every day. She still had a family to support, after all.During lunch break, her colleagues would go out to eat while Calla rested in the office. She used this time every day to recuperate a little, and Alicia would bring her something to eat. Calla had little appetite anyway.One day, she heard the sound of light footsteps. When she raised her head, she saw Mercer in a black suit walking in. He stopped in front of her desk, glanced at her sallow face, and frowned. "Your pregnancy symptoms are severe. If it gets too much, you should take leave and rest at home."It was a kind suggestion, but Calla's pent-up resentment toward Mercer exploded at that moment. After all, she had barely seen him these past few days. Unable to hold back, Calla raised her voice. "I'm not a

"What about Mr. Garland? Hurry up and tell us." The female colleagues were all intrigued.Calla looked up at Lucy, feeling a little curious herself.Lucy then said, "I just went to see Ms. Reynolds and saw that Peggy came again. She insisted on seeing Mr. Garland. But Ms. Reynolds wouldn't let her in, saying Mr. Garland didn't have time for her.""How's that big news? I already knew that Peggy wasn't worth much. She was only chasing after Mr. Garland's shadow." Emily scoffed.Hearing that, Calla knit her brows. She also found the situation a little strange. Wasn't Mercer getting along with Peggy recently? Why would he refuse to see her all of a sudden?Could it be that he found a new love? Thinking about this, Calla felt somewhat stifled.Lucy continued with a laugh, "There's something even funnier. Peggy was holding a copy of this magazine. She was crying and asking Ms. Reynolds if Mr. Garland was really married. She demanded to know who his wife was. "Isn't that hilarious? I

Calla's complexion was indeed pale due to morning sickness, and she couldn't wear makeup for fear of complications. She dressed rather casually, opting to skip the high heels. She looked quite ordinary—and according to Rudy, was a source of shame to the family.Plus, Calla had a child in her belly. But no one knew that she was married. Rudy's words immediately filled Calla's chest with anger. She retorted, "I don't steal, I don't rob, I don't flirt with men. How am I bringing shame?"At that moment, Calla glanced at Jill and Peggy, who were seated at a table not far away. Rudy wasn't a fool and picked up on Calla's implication. He flew off the handle as he spat, "You ungrateful daughter. You've disgraced me.""I think you've mistaken me for someone else. The disgraceful daughter you're looking for is over there. I have nothing to do with you anymore," Calla replied coldly."It seems like you want to be slapped again." Rudy stepped forward with his hands on his waist. "If you
