Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Steffan clenched his fists with a sullen face.
Ophelia walked up to him and comforted, "Mr. Chambers, don’t get mad at Savannah. She’s just too young and bubbly. In
addition, she admires Zachariah, so I can totally understand why she holds a grudge against me."
Steffan threw a look at Ophelia with mixed feelings and suddenly let out a sigh, saying, "Ophelia, you’re pregnant and you need
to rest. Go back to your room now."
Ophelia glanced at Helena, who was still in bed, and Steffan added, "I’ll take care of her."
Ophelia was aware that Steffan didn’t like her, so she left immediately.
When Ophelia left, Steffan said to the silent Zachariah, "Zachariah, I don’t care what you’re thinking. Stay away from Cora right
now. You’ve already got a wife and a baby, and you know your mother’s attitude towards Ophelia, so you have to break up with
Cora."
Zachariah stared at Steffan, a mixture of emotions spreading over his face, and finally said, "Dad, Cora is the woman I’m
obsessed with but fail to be with, so I’ll definitely marry her."
Steffan clenched his fists harder and asked, "So you don’t care about your mother’s life for the sake of that woman?"
Zachariah dropped his head and his voice softened. "Dad, I’m sorry for what happened to mom. But Cora is already pregnant
with my baby, and I won’t allow my child to be a bastard, so I must marry her. Besides, just like what Mrs. Fletcher said, once I
marry Cora, I’ll own whatever the Fletcher family has. Don’t you want us Chambers Group to grow stronger, dad?"
Steffan went silent.
Steffan was also an ambitious man when he was young, or else the Chambers Group wouldn’t have got to where it was today —
one of the leading enterprises of the nation. Even though Steffan was getting old and started to delegate, that didn’t mean he
didn’t want the Chambers Group to go further.
In order to develop the Chambers Group, enhancing its own strength was indeed important. Besides that, only by forming an
alliance through marriage and selling the products to each corner of the world could the corporation become really influential and
powerful.

Therefore, Steffan was tempted by the bait Zachariah threw out. In fact, he didn’t think Ophelia was good enough for the
Chambers family.
Indeed, Steffan admitted that Ophelia was beautiful, but apart from that, she had nothing else. Both her family and education
background were mediocre.
However, the world was full of beauties, and that was why Steffan had disapproved of Zachariah’s marriage to Ophelia back
then. At that time, the Chambers family was being laughed at by the high society because Cora ran away from the wedding, so
Steffan had to accept Zachariah’s marriage to Ophelia to save the situation.
As things stand, what Steffan wanted more was to have his son marry a woman who could help their family business grow
stronger, and only by making an alliance with another powerful family could he reach that goal.
"Zachariah, of course you can marry Cora, but the prerequisite is that your mother has to consent to this marriage. If she doesn’t,
all bets are off."
Finally, Steffan compromised.
Zachariah nodded. "Dad, just rest assured. I’ll let mom know that Cora is still that little girl she used to be. As for those pictures,
it’s just that somebody wants to set her up."
Steffan frowned and said with total sincerity, "Zachariah, you’ve been a smart kid since childhood, and now you’re a shrewd
businessman, but I hope you can be smarter on your love life too. Cora has spent the last four years abroad, and that can
change her in some ways. If she is able to make you believe her by words, I doubt if it’s a wise move to hand the Chambers
Group over to you."
Zachariah’s eyes darkened, countless thoughts crossing his mind.
Steffan patted him on the shoulder and went on, "Zachariah, I know you’re smart, and I have only one word for you. Handle your
work and emotional life with your heart. You need to judge by heart whether Cora is the right girl for you. Although I’m not
completely satisfied with Ophelia, now that she’s pregnant with the eldest grandson of the Chambers family, I’ll just leave
everything aside for the sake of that baby. But you, you’re the one to make decisions. I don’t want you to be successful at work,
but at last fail because of women."
Steffan paused and continued, "I’m willing to give everything I have for your mother because she’s worth it. When I’m fighting in
the business world, she devotes herself to the family. So, what you have to reflect upon is whether the woman you love is able to

run the household for you. Can she stand by your side when you’re in trouble?"
After that, Steffan clapped Zachariah on the shoulder again and said, "Son, think it through."
Zachariah looked up, his eyes deep like bottomless sea.
He nodded and replied, "Dad, I know what to do."
Steffan waved his hand and said, "I’ll take care of your mom. You may leave now."
Zachariah nodded again and said, "Dad, please take good care of mom. I’ll go check on Ophelia now."
When Zachariah left, Steffan walked to the bedside, sat down and stared at Helena, whose eyes were tightly shut. He gave a
bitter smile and asked, "Do you want to continue pretending to be asleep?"
