Chapter 166

    Chapter 166


    The woman’s blurry and slender figure was shown in the corner of the


    screen for only a few seconds before disappearing.


    At the same time, the two children’s footsteps could be heard as they ran


    toward the woman.


    “Mommy.”


    “Mommy, you’re back. You did great today, Mommy.”


    The two children were very considerate as they asked the woman caring


    questions.


    The woman was far away from the phone, so her mumbling voice was


    unclear.


    Soon, the two little children went back to the screen.


    “Everyone, our mommy is home, so we’ll stop streaming now.”


    When Nathan came back, he exined the situation to the screen.

    His twin sister began making heart gestures at the screen again.


    “Bye, see you!”


    The viewers were a little sad about it since the two children only streamed


    once or twice a week, and this time, they had to stop streaming so soon.


    Despite their reluctance, the viewers bade the children goodbye.


    The screen turned ck with a notice that the stream had ended. ric


    was instantly stunned as he stared at the phone.


    Terrance’s voice was heard.


    “Mr. Cadogan, if we don’t leave now, we’ll bete.”


    The next second, ric turned off his phone, then silently got up and


    walked outside.


    Terrance was standing outside along with a neer they recently


    recruited. There were lots of matters to deal with in thepany, so ric


    needed more than one assistant.


    When the two saw ricing out, they immediately greeted him.

    “Mr. Cadogan.”


    “Greetings, Mr. Cadogan.”


    ric nodded coldly, expressionless as he walked past them.


    The two immediately went after him.

    ric’s strides wererge, and the other two followed behind at a close


    distance.

    The new assistant was a girl who had just graduated, and she was interning


    under Terrance. Seeing that they were quite a distance from ric, she


    asked Terrance, “Terrance, was Mr. Cadogan watching the cute children’s


    live stream again?”


    Terrance nodded and said in a low voice, “Yes, I heard their voices when I


    was at the door just now.”


    “I sneaked a peekst time. Terrance, have you seen the children before?”


    Terrance nodded.


    “Yeah.”


    Chapter 166 Shocking


    “Really?” The intern seemed to have found arade as she scooted closer


    and whispered, “Terrance, do you think that the children look a lot like Mr.


    Cadogan?”


    When Terrance heard that, his expression shifted as he immediately


    warned in a suppressed voice, “Don’t spout nonsense.”


    “Huh?” The intern was startled by his stern expression.


    “If Mr. Cadogan hears you, he’ll throw a fit.”


    When the intern heard that, she put on a confused expression.


    “Why? Mr. Cadogan loves the two children, doesn’t he?”


    Terrance nced at the slender figure ahead of them, then exined, “You


    just joined thepany, so you don’t know this, but a woman once took a


    child to see Mr. Cadogan, iming that she had given birth to his child. The


    staff saw that the child looked a lot like Mr. Cadogan, but after some


    investigation, they found that the woman gave her baby stic surgery just


    to deceive Mr. Cadogan. Even now, the child hasn’t fully recovered yet. It’s


    heartbreaking.”

    The intern was speechless.


    Did she give the baby stic surgery?


    What in the world?! Why would people stoop so low?


    “Doesn’t she know that DNA exists?”


    “Criminals never think about getting caught whilemitting crimes; they


    all hope to get lucky. Anyway, don’t mention these things in front of Mr.


    Cadogan.”


    The intern was a little confused.


    She wanted to say that the two children in the live stream didn’t look like


    they had gone through stic surgery. Even the most meticulous stic


    surgery would look slightly unnatural and lifeless, but the children were


    very lively.


    However, even if they looked like him, ric couldn’t possibly have


    children that big.


    After all, in this world, if a woman truly gave birth to ric’s children, she


    would’ve brought them to ric right away.

    All of this was too puzzling for the intern.


    Thus, she began asking about other things.


    “But of all those children, hasn’t Mr. Cadogan suspected even once that it


    might not be stic surgery, and the child is actually his?”


    When Terrance heard that, he sneered.


    “Who do


    you


    take Mr. Cadogan for? Even if he’spletely drunk, he


    wouldn’t touch a woman he doesn’t know. No normal person could achieve


    that amount of self-control.”


    As if remembering something, Terrance added, “Forget strangers. Miss


    Johnson has been with Mr. Cadogan for years. She was considered his close


    friend and had saved his life before, but he wouldn’t touch her even if he


    were drunk.”


    He had been ric’s assistant for years, so he had witnessed ric’s


    self-control with his own eyes.


    When he saw it, he could only describe it as shocking.


    The intern widened her eyes. “Not even Miss Johnson? That’s indeed some

    Chapter 166 Shocking


    shocking self-control!”


    She had met udia before. The woman was gentle, beautiful, and elegant.


    In the intern’s eyes, udia was the ideal partner for men, for she looked


    like someone entirely out of reach, but men still couldn’t help coveting her.


    ric was even able to withstand udia’s allure.


    At that thought, the intern remembered a piece of gossip circting, so she


    asked meekly, “Terrance, I heard that Mr. Cadogan has an ex-wife. Was he


    very reserved toward her too?”


    At the mention of that, Terrance showed a face of regret.


    “I’m not sure about that. Mr. Cadogan was already divorced when I took


    over my cousin’s job, but I think Mr. Cadogan treated her the same. After all,


    she wasn’t pregnant even after so many years of marriage.”


    “That makes sense.” The intern rubbed her chin, gossip filling her mind.


    “But I heard from my cousin that Mr. Cadogan’s ex-wife was extremely


    pretty.”

    “How pretty? Was she as beautiful as Miss Johnson?”


    “I’ve never met her before, but my cousin said that she’s a thousand times


    prettier than Miss Johnson.”


    The intern couldn’t help but widen her eyes at that exaggeration.


    “Your cousin seems to be fond of Mr. Cadogan’s ex-wife.”


    “Yes, I heard that she’s especially nice to the subordinates, and she’s very


    capable as well.”


    The intern thought for a moment. It must take someone special to be


    Mrs. Cadogan.


    At that thought, she looked ahead and began imagining the sort of woman


    who could stand next to ric.


    However, before she could form an idea, a cold voice sounded in front of

    them.


    “What are you whispering about? Are you trying to get fired?”


    Terrance and the intern were still whispering, but ric’s voice startled

    them. They parted ways and walked at their own pace as they hastily


    caught up with ric.


    The intern was also chilled awake by ric’s cold voice.


    She thought that she must be hallucinating to even entertain the thought


    that a cold person like ric was capable of love.
