Thankfully Dation left quickly Suddenly feeling a jong of pain in her stomach, Alicia frowned, Tonerit huomaali un drank du ginger ira, and went downstates for the porridge. She was pregnant now, she could allord any mishaps. But she also had sgdevurce Dalton as soon as possible and get ang from this devilish mand

Soon: Dalion reappeared in the dining room. At the right of him. Alicia’s body immediately tensed,

gure wary and unhadden. She was genuinely afraid he’d go mad again.

“sa; you haven’t eaten all day. Must be hungry, right? I’ll get you some porridge,” Lillian said, and proceeded to serve a bowl of porridge for Daltoni

The atmosphere in the dining area was awkward, but Dalton didn’t refuse or leave.

With Dalton’s presence, even though she was ravenous, Alicia’s appetite vanished at once.

“No one s going to invest in a company with no core tech, 300 million dollars in debt, and on the brink of bankruptcy Dalion said, taking a sip of his porridge. “The Mayer Group is still in your

her Michael’s name. You haven’t formally inherited it, so as long as you don’t take over, the debt won’t fall on you. Even if you decide to take over and plan to sell, I can introduce you to a few Buvers

It was the most prudent solution With his connections, any introduced buyers would surely offer a high price without playing hardball That way, Alicia could end up with a decent sum of money.

Alicia was stunned. She couldn’t believe her ears–Dulton was really offering her advice and playing the Mr. Good Alicia made up her mind. “This company was my mother’s life’s work; I won’t give up stat, and I won’t sell it”

Even if she had to sell, she wouldn’t stoop to using Dalton’s help. After offending Oliver yesterday. Jouan was now out of reach, but there was still one option left–find investors. As long as someone

kids, so she had to treure a safely net for herself at her children.

Whatever, Dalton said, his face clouded as he wheeled himself away from the dining room.

Oh my Mrs. Slater, you’re bleeding!” exclaimed Lillian in shock. Then, lowering her voice, she hurriedly added. “Mrs. Slater, is it that time of the month? I’ll go get you some sanitary pads.”

Dalton was right at the dining room door when he heard the commotion. Alicia’s face was ashen, and she seemed incredibly weak. Dalton couldn’t help but notice she appeared to be trembling.

Lillian quickly brought the sanitary pads, and Alicia in a panic, snatched them up and rushed to the restroom. A few minutes later, Alicia hurried out the door and hailed a cab to the hospital.

After the check–up, the doctor informed her that the baby was fine but the situation was a bit precarious. Alicia was prescribed some prenatal calcium supplements and reminded to take care of the pregnancy. Stepping out of the hospital, the warmth of the sun shone down on her, and only then did she feel truly alive.

A fiery red Ferrari pulled up next to Alicia.

She frowned instinctively, protecting her belly as she took a couple of steps back.

The car window slid down, and Matthew took off his sunglasses, excitedly saying, “Alicia, it’s really you! Why haven’t you been answering my calls or responding to my texts? You set me up last time and I got an earful from my dad, but I don’t blame you. I know I was a total jerk before and I hurt you. Just give me one more chance, and I promise I’ll make it up to you.”

Alicia glanced at him. It seemed last time’s lesson wasn’t harsh enough; Matthew still had the nerve to look for her. “You sure you want to make it up to me and it’s not just the Slater fortune you’re after? Anyway, you might want to let that go because Dalton is awake now, and as for me, I’m. already carrying his child. Matthew, this is where your hopes end,” Alicia said with a sneer.
