His Dad Calls Me Baby のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 201 - チャプター 210

Song Sheng's fingers flew across her tablet screen. She looked up, confused."Lila Bennett? That name sounds familiar...""Wait, the new assistant in the executive office?""Why are we looking into her? Does she have something to do with what happened to Alexander?"I didn't explain. I grabbed my bag and headed for the door."Just dig.""Everything she's been up to lately. Especially any connection to Gerald."Song Sheng saw my face and knew better than to push. She nodded."On it. I'll make it happen."I nodded back."I'm going to the office to wrap things up. Get the flight and visa sorted fast."I walked out of the conference room. My mind was a tangled mess.Lila Bennett.That name had been a thorn in my side for too long.I should have seen this coming.In the original book, this never happened.Alexander's overseas cleanup was supposed to be tense but ultimately fine. No radio silence.Now thi

Luke and Soren both looked at Alexander.Alexander's face was calm. No expression.Through the receiver, Gerald's voice dripped with poisonous persuasion."Surprised, Alexander?""The woman you treasure more than your own life? She's been working with me all along.""The person you trusted enough to bring into your inner circle sold you out to me. Every last secret.""Your Zurich strategy. The key codes. The money trail. Everything she knew, I knew.""The price? I guarantee that after your divorce, she keeps every asset you transferred to her. She lives like a queen for the rest of her life.""You broke every rule for her. Fought your own family. Put her on a pedestal.""And she stabbed you in the back. Deep.""Women like her, with her background, they have no real vision or courage. Self-preservation is instinct.""Your biggest mistake was taking her seriously."Gerald's voice was steady. Every detail vivid.Every wor

Lila's mouth twitched. She instinctively covered her face.[System! This NPC has become sentient!]System: [...]I watched her expression. Crossed my legs. Swayed my foot. My tone was casual."You have the loosest lips I've ever seen. You just blurt everything out.""Add to that your obsession with following the script and trying to steal someone else's man, and combined with my extensive reading experience? It's classic transmigration fiction.""I just didn't think it actually existed."Lila looked like she was about to split in half.[Was I really that loose-lipped back then?]System: [Host, be confident. Remove 'back then'.]Lila's face shifted through several shades. She took a deep breath. Let her shoulders drop in defeat."Fine. Since you've figured it out, I'll stop pretending."Her voice carried the frustration of long-suppressed irritation."Yes. I came here with a mission."I

"Lisa?!"On the other end of the line, all that answered him was the muffled thud of a phone hitting the floor, a few indistinct sounds of struggle, and then silence.Alexander's fingers tightened around his phone. His knuckles went white.Luke and Soren both looked at him."Alex?!"Luke's face changed. He shot to his feet.Alexander slowly lowered the phone. The screen showed the call had ended."Lisa's been taken."Luke's eyes went dark."Has to be Gerald. That snake. Playing dirty."Soren's voice was steady. He cut to the point fast."Location? Last signal?""New York. Outside her studio."Alexander's words came fast. His mind was clear."Luke. Contact Vance."Luke understood immediately. "You want him to use his military contacts?""Not just that."Alexander's voice was ice."Tell him to activate full surveillance. I want the route and destination of the vehicle that took her. Thirty minute

In the shrine, the shattering of the porcelain bowl was like a period. It cut off all of Gerald's triumph.He stared at Lila in disbelief. Then his head snapped toward Alexander."You two—""Not that early."Alexander's voice was flat."Right when you were using her spoilers, thinking you had already won.""Good. Very good!"Gerald's cloudy eyes fixed on Lila. Each word ground out between his teeth."You traitor! Even a little pawn like you dares to flip?""Why wouldn't I dare?"Lila cut him off. Her face was stripped of its usual timid mask. There was mockery in her eyes."Mr. Knight. A smart bird chooses its tree. And your tree is rotten to the core."Five hundred million.Money she could spend in this world too.Every second of hesitation was disrespect to cash.Sometimes, a corporate drone's awakening was simple. Boring even.Less than five minutes after Lisa left her apartment, Lila had alread
