Chapter 211 The First Task


    "Yes, Master. I will never betray you." Lisa trembled in fear.


    "One more thing, have you spent time with my brother yet?" Adam asked after taking a sip of tea.


    "Not yet. I''ve only spoken with him once. Since I came back, I''ve been in the home of the Mu n and


    haven''t darede out."


    "This should be done as soon as possible, got it? You know what I mean, don''t you?" Adam asked


    seriously after a brief pause.


    "Yes, Master. You can set your heart at ease." Lisa said through gritted teeth.


    Having said that, Lisa held her stomach. She was four months pregnant. Her stomach already started


    to grow, but her winter clothes made it unnoticeable. But once she took off her clothes, she could easily


    give the game away. Lisa was afraid that Charles would discover the truth because the real Linda had


    only been pregnant for a month.

    "All right. Go back early. Don''t forget about the ounting records, and don''t stall anymore."


    When she returned, Lisa mulled over her dilemma for a long time. How could she get the ounting


    records of the Mu Group? It was tricky because Linda couldn''t bring up the topic with Charles. The


    problem racked her brain.


    Finally, Lisa came up with an idea. She had to find a way to get into the Mu Group if she wanted to get


    the records. She could only get a chance if she was working in thepany.


    She needed to resign from the school and talk to Charles about her ns. He would agree if she


    requested it. It would be perfect. Charles Mu spoiled Linda. He would grant her the small request.


    Besides, Charles would be pleased to have Linda with him all the time.


    Charles raised his head as his wife approached. He knotted his eyebrows when he noticed she was


    wearing a thin nightgown. "Why are you wearing that?"


    Since he had never seen his wife dress this way, Charles felt weird instead of pleased.


    Lisa was filled with excitement, not sensing Charles suspicions. With an affectionate smile, she pulled


    up Charles from his seat on the sofa, "I''ve been at my family''s home for a long time. Didn''t you miss


    me?"


    A trace of blush climbed up the tips of Charles'' ears. He forced himself to calm down. "Yes, I did."


    At his reply, Lisa was filled with mixed emotions. Although she was jealous, she was ted at the


    thought that she could take Linda''s ce.


    Thinking of Linda''s one-month pregnancy, Charles didn''t think it was the right time.


    "Honey,e here." Charles pushed her away and said gently, "It''s better to wait until the baby is


    born."


    Seeing Linda remain slient, Charles worried she was overthinking. Now that she was carrying their


    child, thinking too much wasn''t good for the baby. But he wasn''t good atforting women. He asked,


    "What''s wrong?"


    "I''m not happy!" Her lips were pursed in anger.


    "Who offended you?"


    "You, and your whole family!


    I''m not allowed to do anything! I''m bored to death!" Lisa acted like a spoiled child. As a matter of fact,


    she was plotting something. As long as Charles was kind to her, he would walk straight into her trap.


    Charles didn''t know whether to cry orugh. "Pregnant women indeed have many restrictions. Mother


    and father''s requests are all for your sake."


    "I know! But I''m not okay with it!"


    "All right. Tell me, what can I do to make you happy?"


    "I want to go work at the Mu Group. This way, I can see you every day." The affection in Lisa''s eyes


    softened Charles, she nearly believed it.


    "But what about the school?" Charles was confused. He thought Linda loved her job at school. All of


    sudden, she wanted to change her job. Was there something unpleasant at school that he didn''t know


    of? Charles decided to have some men look into it.


    "I''ve already quit." Quitting the school and getting into the Mu Group was actually the first task Adam


    had assigned her, so she could steal the ounting records. The panic shed through her eyes.


    Lisa hadn''t officially resigned from the school. But after meeting with Adam, she realized that instead of


    being idle, she had to get started now.


    Otherwise, Adam would never let her go.


    "Alright, honey. You can work wherever you want. Just make sure that you won''t strain yourself


    because you''re carrying our baby, okay?" Charles suddenly held her, making Lisa feel a bit uneasy. But


    she had been longing for such an embrace for a long time.


    "Okay, honey!" Lisa replied excitedly.


    "Be a good girl and get some rest at home. I''ll protect you."
