Chapter 1202 Six Months Along
Robert had also arrived at the office. He was then occupying the office previously used by Adrian. Standing on the balcony, he surveyed everything outside.
Miranda rushed over and said, “Dad, there’s news about Adrian.”
Upon hearing that, Robert turned around to ask her, “Where is Adrian now?”
Miranda didn’t respond. Instead, she handed over her phone, revealing an audio recording that had been opened.
In the recording, it was all the sound of Adrian pleading for mercy, accompanied by the sound of his sobbing and weeping.
Robert couldn’t believe it. “Where did this come from
“I woke up early this morning and received an email,” Miranda replied. “However, I couldn’t trace who sent it.”
After she finished speaking, she expressed some concern, saying, “Dad, Adrian isn’t in trouble, is he?”
Even though Adrian had betrayed her, he was, after all, the father of her child. They had been married for years, and she wondered what would happen to her and her child if something bad truly happened to Adrian.
Robert clenched his fists. “Who on earth did this? How dare they beard the lion in his den?”
After that, he still comforted Miranda, saying, “Miranda, don’t worry,” he comforted Miranda. “The Rainsworth and Leighton families will spare no effort to find Adrian.”
Miranda was already in a state of turmoil, so she just nodded.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
She left Robert’s office only to see Cecilia striding in, brimming with enthusiasm for work.
Jealousy was all that could be seen in Miranda’s eyes as she stood in front of Cecilia.
“Did you know Nathaniel was fine all along?”
Being blocked by Miranda, Cecilia responded truthfully, “Yes. So what?”
“Why are you such a scheming person?” Miranda then enunciated, “Let me tell your something. Even if Nathaniel is okay, what difference does it make? Orion Corporation is no longer under his control.”
Cecilia found Miranda somewhat amusing, and she wasn’t bothered by the latter’s words. “Oh… It doesn’t matter to me. I don’t care about these things anyway.”
After Cecilia finished speaking, she brushed past Miranda.
Miranda gritted her teeth as she observed Cecilia’s lofty demeanor.
Even after she left Orion Corporation, her anger still had not yet subsided.
At that moment, her gaze was arrested by a figure.
Under a tree not too far away, Stella, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, was standing hesitantly, unsure of what to do.
Miranda composed her facial expression and walked toward Stella.
“It’s been a while, hasn’t it. Ms. Ross?”
Stella was taken aback by the sudden shout, but when she saw it was Miranda, she breathed a sigh of relief.
“Ms. Miranda, it’s been a while.”
Miranda sized her up, taking in her shabby appearance. A sense of disdain filled her heart, but she asked, “How did you end up like this? Did you come here for something?”
Stella was not oblivious to Miranda’s disdain toward her, yet she was left with no recourse at that moment.
Compared to these prominent young ladies, she, an orphan, was nothing more than a blade of grass, trampled upon by anyone who wished.
“I’ve come looking for Cecilia.”
Upon hearing that Stella was there to look for Cecilia, Miranda assumed she was there to cause Cecilia trouble.
“You’ve heard about Nathaniel’s eyesight returning, haven’t you? Well, after all those years you spent by his side, he still chose Cecilia in the end. Such a disappointment.” Miranda then continued, “However, you can’t really blame Nathaniel. It’s all because of Cecilia. She’s quite crafty, you know. Did you hear she’s expecting twins again? Seems like she’s already six months along. I would advise you to spare yourself the embarrassment…
Miranda purposely incited Stella’s jealousy toward Cecilia, and after saying her piece, she strutted off in her high heels.
Stella stood in place, indeed consumed with jealousy. Twins? Six months along? Why is Cecilia so fortunate?
A sinister thought then gradually took shape in Stella’s mind.
