Chapter 328


    After dinner, Elijah took off first. He was going to the hospital to see Maka.


    The other Bourne family members left one after another.


    After Grace went back to her room, Kaleb knocked on Sarah''s door. Ever since Sarah''s pregnancy had


    be public knowledge, she had been moved to Old Manor.


    "Dr. Sarah, you''re a real piece of work!" Kaleb closed the door behind him after he entered the room.


    "You managed to tame my uncle who is notoriously hard to please. Does that mean you will be my


    aunt-inw from now on?"


    Sarah wore a calm and elegant smile. "Of course. Once we''re engaged, I''ll be his fiancée. What''s the


    difference between a fiancée and a wife?"


    "Congrats! But..." Kaleb looked worried. "Is there a way to make sure my uncle won''t suspect the baby


    in your belly? After all, that baby is our ticket to my uncle''s fortune."


    Sarah''s face changed. "I can''t possibly let this baby live!"


    Kaleb paled.


    "Once the baby is born, your uncle will definitely order a paternity test." Sarah''s voice was icy cold. "If it


    turns out the baby isn''t his, he''ll break up with me for sure! And you''re screwed too!"


    Kaleb stuttered, "So I''m asking you if there''s a way to tweak the paternity test results?"


    "There''s no way! Unless he lets me do the test myself. But he''d never let me do that! He''s been on


    guard against me all this time, looking for experts who can treat Maka... If he finds one, he''ll dump


    me in a heartbeat." Sarah said nervously.


    Kaleb patted her shoulder. "But he hasn''t found one, right? Dr. Sarah, you''re amazing! Both surgeries


    were so sessful; no wonder my uncle changed his mind and proposed to you. If I were him, I''d


    marry you."


    Sarah reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, flinging his arm off her and looking disgusted.


    "If you have nothing else to say, get out! Don''te to my room again!"


    "Okay... If you don''t want the baby, how are you nning to abort it?" Kaleb looked at her swelling


    belly, his emotionsplex.


    "You''ll find out when the timees!" Sarah was hatching a big n in her mind.


    The next day.


    News of Elijah and Sarah''s impending engagement spread throughout A City. Even the date was set,


    half a month from now.


    Mike was eating breakfast, reading the news on his phone, and joking, "Violette, do you think Elijah is


    using his engagement news to distractizens from us? There are noticeably fewer people


    badmouthing us online today."


    Violette was unfazed. "Do you really think Mr. Bourne would personally deal with something that can be


    solved with money? They''re close. They can go public with their rtionship whenever they want."


    "Oh, we''re going to lose a lot of money this time!" Mike put down his phone, took a sip of his milk. "The


    money we made from Elijah is all going to be lost."


    Violette took a slow sip of her coffee. "Losing money is not the most important thing; it''s the damage to


    our reputation that''s fatal."


    Mike looked at her and said, "You have no reaction to Elijah''s engagement news, have you really let go


    of your feelings for him? He was the man you once loved deeply!"

    "You said it yourself, ''once''. Isn''t that conclusive enough?" Violette finished her breakfast and got up.


    "I''m flying to B Country today to talk to Pulse Tech about our future coboration."


    "Hold on! When did you buy the ticket? You didn''t even tell me... Are you running away to a foreign


    country because you can''t handle the shock of Elijah''s engagement?" Mike said sarcastically.


    Violette showed him the ticket information. "I booked the ticketst night. Did I know they were going to


    announce their engagement today?"


    "Alright! How long are you going to be gone?" Mike saw her out.


    "I''m not sure. I''lle back as soon as possible, I''m notfortable leaving the kids without


    supervision."


    "If you want to stay abroad for a few more days, that''s fine too. I''ll definitely take good care of your two


    kids." Mike thought the current public opinion in the country wasn''t very friendly towards Violette.


    On one hand, a lot of people online were demanding her to leave A Country, on the other hand, social


    tforms were full of news about her ex-husband''s engagement. The simultaneous appearance of


    these two pieces of news was suffocating.


    In the evening, Brandon wanted to take Elijah to a bar for a drink.


    Elijah frowned and declined. "I''m going to see Makater."
