Scarlett hesitated. Her baby bump was starting to show.

Derick found out, he would do everything in his power to destroy her and their child. She knew better than anyone how ruthless Derick could be.

There was no chance of them reconciling, but she was determined to keep the baby. This child belonged to her alone.

“Send all the documents to the House of Faust. I’ll be working from there. Liam will handle all external affairs as the CEO of the group, and you’ll be my personal assistant. Do announce it on the company’s official website tomorrow.”

Cindy was thrilled. Finally, she had a chance to prove herself

For the past three years, life had been peaceful but utterly devoid of excitement. Now that she could return to the company, she felt a rush of exhilaration. Even the tolletid at home seemed to shine with a newfound glow.

She felt the fireworks lighting up inside her and rainbows shining down on her.

“Boss, I finally get to show you what I’m made of Cindy said with excitement.

me.”

Scarlett watched her animated smile and couldn’t help but think she resembled a classic villain. “Good! Have Liam send over all the company’s documents to me She had been handling things for quite some time, but the stubborn shareholders still wouldn’t accept her.

After all, she was still a young woman, and earning their respect was no easy feat. Even with her impressive achievements over the years, these old–timers still saw her as just a

woman

Maybe keeping a low profile wasn’t such a bad idea after all,

andy said, “Okay!”

Back at the House of Faust, Scarlett dismissed Cindy and headed straight to the courtyard.

House of Faust was expansive, with a large garden, a swimming pool, and one main building along with two smaller buildings about a mile apart. She then made her way to the basement.

After entering the password, she walked inside as a young woman, Ellie Smith, stood up and approached while bowing respectfully. “Ms. Millar.”

Scarlett gave a slight nod. “How’s Alan today?”

Ellie, with her delicate face and small canines that peeked out when she smiled, made her look really cute

“Ms. Millar, it’s been four months since you brought him here. He’s still the same”

Scarlett stepped inside and looked at Alan lying unconscious on the bed.

The soft light cast a gentle glow on his pale, handsome face. Despite his condition, he still looked striking. His eyes were closed and he had no idea what was happening to the world around him

Seeing him like this stirred a complex mix of emotions in Scarlett.

That night in the fire, she had saved Derick first before going back to save Alan. However, by the time she returned for Derick, he was gone,

Alan, on the other hand, was on the brink of death. She had no choice but to bring him back to Huloon for treatment. Someone was trying to assassinate Alan, so she was forced to use the House of Faust’s resources to secretly transport him back to the country.

During that time, Alan had briefly regained consciousness. He warned Scarlett that someone was out to kill him and that she should keep his survival a secret, even from Derick It was then she realized the events of a few months ago had been part of a larger conspiracy, one targeting Alan, Derick had simply been collateral damage.

After returning to Huloon, Derick met Eliza and fell for her. He had no idea Scarlett had been there too

Thinking of that cold, heartless Derick, Scarlett felt a sharp pain in her chest.

“Oh, Elle, I need you to do an ultrasound, I’m pregnant and haven’t had a check-

c–up yet.”

If she went to hospitals, Derick would definitely find out, just the thought of his cold, disdainful eyes made the pain in her heart almost unbearable. “What?” Ellie stared at Scarlett in shock.

Seeing the serious expression on Scarlett’s face, Ellie realized she wasn’t kidding and was even more surprised.

Scarlett headed toward the ultrasound room. “Don’t be so shocked I was bound to have an heir sooner or later!

Elle hurried after her and quickly grasped the situation.

She was thrilled to hear that House of Fest would have an heir. Ms. Millar, when did you get pregnant? How far along are you?
