All Chapters of My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

It was the following day. The entire office building was buzzing with chatter as the employees endlessly discussed the catastrophic result of the disciplinary meeting held the previous afternoon.“Did you hear that she took five hundred grand as compensation for the unlawful suspension?” somebody whispered loudly to another in the corridor.“Yeah, and I even heard she is actively suing the company too,” they replied back quickly.Rosaria sat there in the breakroom, hearing every single word. Her nerves were already on edge after the absolute that had happened yesterday.‘I didn’t imagine that damn b*tch would go as far as to hire someone to impersonate the CEO of Barnaby & Associates,’ she thought angrily, her jaw clenching. ‘There is nothing she can do. She previously said she would sue me for harassment and nothing ever happened, and now this?’ She scoffed audibly, slamming her coffee mug down.“I heard she had the actual Nigel Stevenson from Barnaby & Associates as her legal repres

Sophia was furious at the recent turn of events. She had heard the new developments. Initially, when she first heard the news of Autumn being suspended following suspected corporate espionage, she had been ecstatic. That wonderful news was the exact reason she had gone out shopping today, but now she was fumbling blindly between rows of designer outfits, fuming under her breath.She had just received the terrible news: Autumn had been cleared by both the Ministry she was working with and Nexus Corp. To make matters worse, she had also heard from the workplace gossip channels that Autumn had even gone as far as to have a woman arrested right out of the building.Furious, she grabbed the luxury items she had picked out and marched over to the cash register. She barked an order at the sales associate, snapping her fingers. “Wrap this up.”Her mood had already soured from this horrific update, and the boutique associates were only getting further on her nerves with how slow they were bein

Late that evening, Autumn finally stood up from the armchair after spending the entire day sorting out her competition portfolio. Her body ached all over from sitting for so long, but her mind was more focused than ever before.Hiding this from Eric will do me no good; the least he would say if he found out later is 'I told you so,' she thought, gently rubbing her sore lower back as she contemplated her options. ‘But telling him out of nowhere that I was secretly looking into his deceased mother’s death would make me look unhinged and psychotic.’ She sighed, brushing a stray lock of hair behind her ears.“But I still need to tell him about Sebastian,” she whispered to the empty room, letting out a breath. “I will just gather concrete evidence of the attempts before I tell him anything about it.”“Gather evidence before telling who about what?”Eric’s deep voice cut through her rambling, stopping her train of thought dead in its tracks.Autumn stiffened slightly before quickly masking

The low purr of an engine coming to a halt resonated through the courtyard, and a pair of designer stilettos stepped out of the vehicle. The woman exuded a calm, unperturbed aura, her posture rigid with confidence.Her heels clicked softly against the pavement as she made her way into the main building, her objective already crystal clear in her mind.“Miss Sophia? What are you doing here?” a familiar voice called out, causing her to turn around.“Chloe, my dear! It is so good to see you,” Sophia replied smoothly, feigning perfect civility. “I am just here to drop off some important documents for your uncle,” she added, answering the earlier question with an easy smile.“It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other,” Chloe said, moving forward to hug her, kissing her cheeks lightly as she did so.“Yeah, it really has been since I moved out,” Sophia murmured, though the underlying ambiguity in her tone was loud and clear. “I have just been swamped with work lately.”“Well, I will leav

Eric stood in the middle of the courtyard. He checked his wristwatch before looking up at the gray London sky. ‘Where is she? I know that we argued, but she promised she would see me off,’ he thought, a dark look settling over his features.“You,” he called out to a passing maid who was busy placing his luggage into the car’s trunk. “Go tell my wife that I am leaving right now.”The maid scrambled to a bow, quickly got back to her feet, and hurried inside the estate to relay the urgent message sent to her.Eric stood outside in the chill air for almost five minutes before the maid finally returned but it was only Fin walking by her side. Eric looked behind her, expecting to see Autumn’s familiar figure emerging from the doors, but the courtyard remained empty save for the two of them. He reached out to give Fin a brief hug before settling his icy gaze back onto the trembling maid.“Where is my wife?” he asked coldly, his temper fraying since she still hadn’t shown up.“Madam said she
