I nodded, “Okay.”

The doctor advised me to rest properly, otherwise I might miscarry.

I immediately asked Robyn for three months of maternity leave and went home to recuperate after the signing meeting.

Just as I came out of the obstetrics and gynecology department, I bumped into a man and a woman.

They were covered in red rashes and kept scratching their lower bodies.

When they saw me, Benny's face turned pale instantly and he immediately asked me questions, “Angie, did you touch anything in my study? What did you put in there? The doctor said they couldn't identify the allergen, so we'll keep itching!”

Upon hearing this, I understood—the clothes, contaminated with peach fuzz, had been used by them.

I replied calmly, “What are you talking about? Tell me, let me think if I touched anything.”

His face alternated between pale and red, stammering but daring not to speak clearly.

I sneered, pulled out the short video I had found on his WhatsApp yesterday and the video Ann gave me and confronted him, “Oh, you mean this bunny girl suit? I ate a peach yesterday and it seems like some peach fuzz accidentally fell on the clothes.”

“You!” His face turned ashen as he cursed, ‘“Are you crazy? Spying on my computer and WhatsApp, then sending someone to record our videos? What do you think you're doing?”

He pointed at me and shouted, “Since you’ve ruined us like this, I won’t let it go. Kneel down right now and kowtow to me and Ann to apologize, then transfer the Lincoln project to Ann!”

“Otherwise, the wedding is cancelled and you’ll end up as an unemployed single mother!” 

I looked at him coldly and took out my phone to call the wedding planning company.  

“Yes, we’re not getting married. Cancel it immediately.”

In front of Benny's sullen expression, I calmly said, “For the past ten years, I was blind and mistook a piece of trash like you for a treasure.”

“Now that I have recognized the truth, I am willing to give up on you and cancel the wedding. But I absolutely refuse to hand over the clients and Lincoln's contract I've worked so hard to build over the years to you.”

I said indifferently, “You should think about how to explain to those investors who thought you had secured a cooperation agreement with Lincoln Corporation. Oh, and don't forget to pay me compensation.”

I turned and was about to leave, but Benny suddenly rushed up and grabbed my arm.

“I was wrong, Angie. You know I've been under a lot of pressure lately. Since you're pregnant, I dared not touch you, afraid of harming the baby, so I couldn't control myself..."

“We only had a one-night stand after drinking. She also said it wouldn't affect our relationship. We agreed that it would only happen during your pregnancy. Once you give birth, I'll be fully committed to you and our child.”

I curled my lips as I sneered, “Do you think I will believe your reason?”

I looked at my phone, which showed the signing time was almost here.

I looked up at the man I'd loved for ten years and spoke calmly, “Can't we just part ways amicably? Benny, I'm only taking what belongs to me. I'm not trying to ruin your company.”

His face turned pale and he just murmured, “But I don't want to lose you. I never thought about losing you.”

I looked at him deeply, “When you did all these things, didn't you ever think about how much it would hurt me? If you had, you would have known that, given my personality, I would definitely leave you.”

He opened his mouth to say something else, but I walked straight out.

He chased after me, desperation in his voice, “I was wrong, Angie! Please, just give me another chance. For the sake of our child, just one more chance. If you don’t want me to see Ann again, fine. I’ll pay her off, I’ll send her away—whatever you want.”

“If you still want to work,” he continued, softer now, “I’ll give you your position back… after the baby is born.”

I impatiently broke free from his grip, but suddenly a car barreled straight toward me.

I couldn't dodge in time and was knocked flying.

Blood spattered everywhere as I crashed heavily to the ground, with blood pooling beneath me.

In agony, I convulsed and reached out to shout at Benny.

“Save me, save the child.”

Benny’s face turned pale. Just as he was about to come over, Ann stumbled out of the car, crying and threw herself into his arms.  

“What should I do, Benny? I just saw you say that Angie was taking the project and the client with her, so I panicked and rushed down to drive after her. I accidentally stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake.”

“I don't want to go to jail, Benny, please help me.”

I struggled, writhing in pain, “Benny..."

I called out to him pleadingly, “This is your child too. You can’t just watch him be killed.”

After a moment of internal conflict, he firmly pulled Ann aside and addressed the police who had arrived on the scene.  

“I’m the husband of the pregnant woman. She argued with me and insisted on rushing out, which is why she was hit. It's not this young girl's fault."  

He rushed over, grabbed my hand and said, “The child can't be saved. We can't drag an innocent girl into this.”

“Let's just consider this compensation for forcing Ann to leave. Besides, you can't attend the signing ceremony now, so let me and Ann represent you at the meeting and sign the contract.”

“After that, I'll return to the family and treat you well.”

“Benny!” I was so angry that my eyes turned red, “You bastard, you will regret it!”

The doctor hurriedly pulled him aside to get him to sign the papers to send me to the emergency room.  

But he only cared about pulling Ann away, striding off. 

“Sorry, we have an important meeting to attend. Let her lie in the emergency room for a while. I’ll come back later to sign the papers.”

After saying that, they got in the car and left.

I passed out from the pain.

Ann specially changed into a high-end dress and walked into the venue with her head held high, holding Benny's arm.

Some people asked curiously, “Why didn't Ms. Sullivan come? Isn't Ms. Sullivan in charge of this cooperation?”

Benny said calmly, “Angie has seriously violated the policy and has been fired. This project will be handled by Ann Cortez.”

The person in charge on the other side was stunned, “What did you say? Ms. Sullivan was fired? Then who will be responsible for our cooperation?”

“Of course, it's Ann.”

He looked at Ann, whose excitement was evident on her face and said affectionately, “This collaboration was successful thanks to the new rules Ann established, which optimized many employees who violated regulations, allowing us to successfully secure the Lincoln Family’s collaboration.”

“With such an outstanding employee as the new project leader, we will certainly be able to complete the Lincoln Family’s project even better in the future.”

Ann stood up straight, her face flushed, “Yes, I will definitely live up to Mr. Webster’s expectations. I will achieve even better results than Ms. Sullivan in the future.”

The Lincoln Group representative across from him stood up with a cold expression.

“I apologize, but our project only recognises Ms. Sullivan. Since she is no longer here, I think we should cancel this collaboration.”
