Chapter 558


    The sound of paper flipping was especially obvious in the silent conference room. For those who had a


    guilty conscience, the sound undoubtedly made their hearts race even faster. Every page flipped meant


    that more mistakes would be discovered.


    A few of them had already begun to wipe their sweat. It was akin to a confession.


    Joseph, on the other hand, was free. He even turned on the timer on his phone to increase the anxiety


    in the room.


    Christina felt that the man was really bad. When he didn’t say a word, it was even scarier than being


    scolded.


    Half an hourter, a man couldn’t take it anymore and called for a halt. “Mr. Turner, I’ll turn myself in.


    I’ve falsely reported the expenses for a business trip, as well as the fuel fees and…”


    Joseph listened with interest, but he still did not speak. After a while, he said, “You’re quite smart. It’s a


    waste of your talent for you to remain in the Turner Corporation. You can find somewhere else.”


    “Quinn, you’ll handle the rest. Pat, you’ll assist her. Write down the list of names. The Turner


    Corporation will never hire them again.”


    After saying that, he held Christina’s hand and walked out. He was not interested in watching anymore.


    Outside the door, Christina asked, “Have you actually prepared the evidence long ago? Then why did


    you do this today? Isn’t it unnecessary?”


    Joseph gave a beautiful smile and said in all seriousness, “Aren’t you bored? I added more drama to it


    to relieve your boredom.”


    Christina stared at him.


    Joseph had already given an order to Quinn in advance. All those who had embezzled or falsified their


    reports would be fired. He also requested that the amount of thepany’s funds be returned. This


    would be a warning to others. If they did not do so and those responsible did not return the money,


    more people would take a chance in the future.


    One thought can make the difference between good intentions and evil intentions.


    After such a clean-up, those who had some ulterior motives within thepany could not help but start


    to be more cautious.

    A few months had passed, and there was only a week left before Christina’s due date.


    At the Yamin family’s vi, Angie stood downstairs with her hands on her hips. She looked at her son


    with disappointment. “Are you really not going? Can’t you let go of your hospital matters? Will the


    hospital shut down without you performing the surgery?”


    It was not that Chris did not want to go to Sapphire City. It was just that the patient’s surgery had long


    been scheduled. If someone else were to perform the surgery at thest minute, they would definitely


    have objections. “The surgery was scheduled some time ago. I’ll tell Christina. You guys go.”


    Charlie sighed. There was no hope for his son. Chris could just get married to the operating theater for


    the rest of his life. He could not even leave for a day. Charlie really wanted to suggest that he did not


    have toe back at night. “Alright. Let him be. Even if you drag him there, his heart is still on the


    surgery. Why drag someone who does not want to be there?”


    Ste dragged arge suitcase downstairs. Charlie stepped forward to pick it up. Angie nced at the


    white suitcase. It belonged to Christina. “We’re going to see your sister, not going on a vacation. Why


    did you pack such a big suitcase?”


    Ste was panting. She was nning to go on a vacation. Ever since she worked under Leia, it had


    been hell on earth for her. Now that there was such a good opportunity to escape, of course, she had to


    y for a few days. “Joseph asked me to take a few days off to go to Sapphire City. I have to listen to


    him.”


    As expected, Angie didn’t say anything else. She just red at her daughter in dissatisfaction.


    Charlie said, “Come on. Let’s go. Don’t dy. Joseph said that the ne was already waiting.”


    Because Chris couldn’t go, he wanted to send his parents off. He quickly strode out of the door, opened


    the car door, and ced the suitcases inside. “I’ll send you guys off. After that, I’ll go to the hospital. It’s


    on the way.”


    Angie took a deep breath. How could she have such a foolish son? “What are you saying? Do you


    mean that if it’s not on the way, you will not go out of the way? Alright. I’m in a good mood today and


    don’t want to argue with you.”

    Chris kept his mouth shut. He was just being honest. It was really on the


    way.


    Ste was astute after she worked under Leia for a period of time. She was now very proficient at


    surviving. It was best to pretend to be invisible when one didn’t want to be implicated. It was best to


    shut up and have a proper attitude when one made mistakes.


    At this moment, she was invisible. No matter what her mother said about her brother, she remained


    silent. She was afraid that her mother would turn on her next.


    She very much cherished her life.


    When Ste got on the ne, she was unusually awake and excited. Angie, on the other hand, was a


    little sleepy. At this moment, her eyelids had already started to flutter. In the end, she could not help but


    follow her heart and close her eyes.


    “Wow! I feel like I’m stepping on clouds. I can touch it with a stretch of my foot. No wonder Christina


    likes to take the ne so much. It’s so beautiful.”


    Ste sat alone at the side and looked at the scenery outside the ne excitedly. Angie, who had just


    closed her eyes, was shocked by her daughter’s surprised tone. She opened her eyes and


    reprimanded, “Can you look with your eyes? Don’t look with your mouth.”


    “But we have to express our emotions after looking at it. In the past, when our teacher took us out for


    an excursion, we would have to write a journal entry after we came back.”


    Angie let out a breath. She was very sleepy. Last night, when she received a call from her son-inw,


    she was so excited that she could not sleep. Now, she felt sleepy. “You can look at the scenery quietly.


    I’m not asking you to write anything, okay?”


    “Alright. But why do you prefer to sleep when there’s such beautiful scenery outside? What a pity,”


    Ste leaned against the window and muttered softly. Angie had already fallen asleep and did not reply


    to her. A few hourster, the ne arrived at Sapphire Airport. Joseph was wearing a beige color


    windbreaker and was waiting at the airport. When he saw theming out, he quickly went up to them


    and took the initiative to take their suitcases. “Angie, Charlie, Ste. Wee to Sapphire City.”


    “Hello, Joseph. Where’s my sister?”

    12:58


    Ste was overjoyed. Joseph took the luggage and led them out of the airport. Behind him, Ethan


    walked over to help with the luggage.


    “Your sister said that she’s waiting at home to give you a surprise. Ava has gone to her sses and


    hasn’t finished yet. She’ll be back in the


    afternoon. Angie, Charlie, the car is outside. Come this way.”


    Angie was all smiles. “Sure. That’s good.”


    Charlie was very satisfied with his son-inw’s arrangement, but he did not say anything. He looked


    around and said, “Okay.”


    When the car arrived at the Turner Manor, Emma, who was dressed in a gown, was already waiting in


    the courtyard. After the car stopped, the people in the car alighted.


    As soon as she alighted, Angie could not help but praise, “I thought I had entered some Utopia. It’s like


    a paradise here. It’s too beautiful.”


    Charlie greeted Emma after getting out of the car. He nced around the courtyard. There was indeed


    a wide gap between the rich and the poor.


    Emma went to Angie to help her. She showed her into the vi enthusiastically. “Come in quickly. You


    must be tired.”


    “Charlie, go in and rest. I’ll bring the luggage in,” Joseph said.


    Joseph opened the trunk to get the luggage. Ethan came over to help him, but he was stopped. “Go


    and pick up Ava. School is over in about an hour’s time.”


    After Ste got out of the car and greeted Emma, she was mesmerized by the scenery in the courtyard.


    She could not move her feet and took out her phone to take photos of the beautiful scenery.


    Joseph, who was holding the luggage, saw that she was drawn by the picturesque courtyard and did


    not rush her into the house. “Ste, when you’re done looking around, you cane in yourselfter.”


    Ste, who was squatting on the ground and taking photos of an unknown species of flower, replied


    without looking up, “Sure. Got it, -Joseph.”


    However, she was extremely busy at the moment. She had to take good photographs and show them


    offter.


    In the living room, when Emma saw that Ste had note in, she asked her son, “Where’s Ste,


    Joseph?”


    “Ste said that she woulde in after taking photos.” With that, he carried the suitcases upstairs and


    ced Charlie’s, Angie’s, and Ste’s


    12:38


    suitcases in the room that had been arranged long ago.


    Angieined, “Ste only wants to y. She’s hopeless. It doesn’t matter where she goes.”


    “Since she’s here, let her rx. It’s rare for her toe over, so being happy is the most important.”


    After a pause, Emma sat elegantly with her hands on herp. She said. apologetically, “I have to


    apologize to you first… Actually, Christina has already given birth. She gave birth five days ago and


    was discharged yesterday.”


    The news was like a bolt from the blue.


    Angie and Charlie were taken aback when they heard this,


    They had predicted that their daughter’s due date was approaching and came to apany Christina


    a week in advance. In the end, they were told that the childbirth was over and their daughter had even


    been discharged.


    “She had already… given birth.”


    Angie looked at the elegant Emma in front of her in disbelief. Even Charlie, who was standing at the


    side, was stunned. Yesterday, he had even called Christina who said that she had no signs of giving


    birth yet.


    She only said that they coulde over in advance to y and treat the trip as a vacation.


    Charlie was struck silent. The girl was lying.


    Emma smiled gently and met the couple’s gaze. “We are responsible for this matter. Christina gave


    birth a little suddenly. She gave birth more than ten days ahead of the expected delivery date.”


    As she spoke, Angie’s phone rang. It was from Christina. The call also interrupted the apology that


    Emma was about to say.


    The phone rang a few times before it was picked up. Angie took a deep breath and tried to digest the


    news as soon as possible. She suppressed the urge to scold her daughter. “We’re downstairs.”


    Christina said, “I know you’re downstairs. Mom,e up. I have something to tell you. Come up with


    Dad.”


    If it weren’t for the fact that the girl was currently in postpartum recovery, Angie nned to give the girl


    a proper lecture. “Got it.”

    “Emma, I’ll go up and take a look first. We can continue chattingter.”

    “Yes. Joseph.” Emma used the simplest sentence to instruct. Even with such a sinct order, Joseph


    understood what his mother meant.


    Emma did not follow them. She could understand the purpose of her daughter-inw’s call. She was


    probably afraid that her parents would me them. Christina was too sensible.


    Emma, who was standing alone in the living room, recalled the scene of her daughter-inw’s amniotic


    fluid rupture. It was 10 p.m. and Christina had just finished supper when her water suddenly broke.


    Her son, who was always calm, could no longer remain level-headed. He shouted up the stairs for


    Emma and began calling the base to ask them to prepare for the delivery.


    The two of them had already prepared everything beforehand and kept them in the room for fear of any


    idents. As for Joseph, he did not dare to leave Christina and could only ask Emma to get it.


    He carried Christina to the car and ced her in the backseat. Emma apanied her. Daniel sat in


    the front passenger seat. Joseph drove. When they arrived at the hospital, Joseph did not want to take


    any risks. He directly arranged for the best doctor to be in charge of the cesarean section.


    After recalling for a while, Emma sat down on the couch again.
