Chapter 331


    Skr understood what Tobias was trying to say and was certain that things would end badly for


    Penelope.


    However, there was little she could do as Penelope had sunken too deep into the rtionship.


    It wasn’t like she could force Penelope to get an abortion.


    Meanwhile, Penelope had been waiting at the hospital entrance for Skr. When she saw Skr in


    sunsses and a face mask, she could hardly recognize her despite knowing her so well.


    “Why are you dressed like a spy?”


    Skr even scanned her surroundings to see if anyone recognized her. Shemented, “What if someone


    takes a picture of me at the maternity ward and spreads rumors of me being pregnant? I’m still a budding


    actress who hasn’t lived up to my potential yet. Are you going to let me fade away just like that? Hence,


    it’s better I keep a low profile.”


    Penelope clicked her tongue. “You’re not that famous yet. You’re just a second-rate actress; hardly


    anyone recognizes you when we go out.”


    Skr patted Penelope on her shoulder. “My dear, you are overestimating my capabilities. I’m not a


    second-rate actress. I’m actually third-rate.”


    Penelope was appreciative of Skr’spany. It did wonders for her nerves. She had been really


    stressed out during her pregnancy.


    She was worried that something would happen to the baby. Given that it was a boy, she intended it to be


    her trump card.

    She expected Brayden to love her more because she bore him a son.


    Watching Penelope saunter down the corridor with her pregnant tummy, Skr couldn’t imagine herself


    as a mother.


    But it was going to be some time before she even got pregnant. After Penelope went in, Skr sat on the


    bench along the corridor.


    While waiting, she downloaded an app that could predict how one’s baby looked like. She then uploaded


    her own photo together with one she took of Tobias without his knowledge to generate the image of their


    future baby.


    It generated a picture of a baby with an angelic face. Although the app was just meant for fun, she felt a


    sense of bitterness in her heart while looking at it.


    After a long checkup, Penelope came out with a medical report. She told Skr that everything was


    normal and that she could go home to wait out the pregnancy.


    Puzzled, Skr asked, “Where will you return to? Since your dad is still angry with you, why don’t you


    stay over at my ce?”


    Penelope replied slyly, “I have a home now. Brayden has arranged for me to stay in a townhouse, and


    I’ve been staying there for a while.”


    Skr realized that she had gotten ahead of herself. Of course, Penelope would have a ce to stay.


    At the very least, Brayden gave Penelope all the financial support she needed. As for the rest, they can


    be dealt with at ater stage.


    Penelope even asked Skr, “Do you think I should buy a house near his future school? It would be


    good for him next time. After all, Brayden’s family needs someone to inherit their massive assets. My son


    will be rich the moment he is born.”


    Skr couldn’t bear to break Penelope’s bubble as Brayden wasn’t the only son. Hence, it wasn’t going


    to be easy for her son to inherit the family business.


    As of now, Penelope can still gain his affection with her youth and beauty. Once she has given birth and


    loses her figure, she will no longer be as attractive.


    I’m afraid Brayden’s feelings for her would also change.


    In the evening, after Skr had sent Penelope home, she took a cab back. Along the journey, a headline


    popped up on her phone.


    It read: Station manager of Channel 3, Maverick Sullivan,mits suicide by jumping off a building.


    Skr’s heart dropped. On the night of the celebratory dinner, Maverick had tried to take advantage of


    her but the n was foiled by Kai.


    After that, she had repeatedly received threatening phone calls from Maverick, asking her if the video


    had been deleted.


    Despite Skr telling him many times that it had been deleted, Maverick didn’t believe her.


    He even threatened to nder her to the press and described to her over the phone everything he


    nned to do, causing her to feel perturbed.


    Hence, for him to have suddenly died, Skr broke out in cold sweat. She wasn’t sure if it was an


    ident or if Kai was behind it. After all, only the three of them knew about the matter. Also, Kai didn’t


    seem like someone vicious. Murder is a crime, and he wouldn’t have gone that far for my sake.
