Chapter 335


    ra served as Sasha’s attorney.


    Waking up that morning, she caressed her growing belly, a blissful smile reflecting in the mirror as


    she gazed at her own image.


    Whispering softly, she murmured, “Baby, as soon as mama wraps up this case, we’ll leave this


    ce with your daddy. I can’t wait.”


    The thought of marrying Ian and the prospect of their little family living happily together sent waves


    of excitement through ra.


    Just then, her phone buzzed with Ian’s call. His voice, deep and husky with a hint of mesmerizing


    charm, vibrated through her ear. “Mrs. Hayes, are you ready to take the child and elope with me?”


    he teased.


    ra chuckled, “I’m all set, Mr. Hayes. I’ll follow your lead.”


    Ian couldn’t hide his joy. “Such a good girl deserves a reward. I’ll see you soon.”


    He emphasized “reward” with a suggestive tone that sent a shiver down ra’s spine. “I have a trial


    soon, no time for rewards,” she replied, yfully feigning disappointment.


    “We’ll celebrate after you win your case. I’m almost at your ce. Get ready toe out.”


    ra hung up and descended the stairs. Casey lounged on the sofa, newspaper in hand.


    “Dad, we’ll grab dinner after the trial,” ra said.


    “Drive safe, sweetheart.”


    ra donned a brown cashmere coat. Her hair was casually tied in a bun, and her face was lightly


    made up. Pregnancy had only enhanced her natural radiance.


    Approaching Casey, she wrapped her arms around his neck. “Don’t worry, dad. Ian’s got me


    covered.”


    Casey felt a surge of joy. “Nothing makes me happier than seeing you two together, with a little one


    on the way. It’s like my heart’s been healed.”


    As they chatted, a sleek ck Rolls-Royce Cullinan rolled into the driveway. ra released her


    father, her smile broadening. “See youter, dad. Wait for my triumphant return.”


    “Will do, pumpkin.”


    ra waved goodbye and stepped out to meet Ian, who swept her into his arms, kissing her


    forehead.


    “Aren’t you cold dressed like that?” he asked.


    “Pregnant women run warm. Didn’t you know?” ra teased.


    “Then why are your hands so cold? Get in the car.” Ian ushered her inside, cranking up the heat.


    Casey watched them drive off. His heart was warmed by the sight of his daughter with a man who


    cherished her so deeply. Amidst his contentment, Casey’s phone rang. His face turned pale as he


    answered the call.


    Meanwhile, ra entered the courtroom, spotting Paolo with hiswyer. His gaze flicked over her


    with a venomous sneer. “ra, I gave you a chance. You refused. Don’t me me for what’s next,”


    he said before taking a seat in the gallery with coolposure.


    Unfazed by his threat, ra took her ce at the intiff’s bench.


    The trial proceeded smoothly. ra was sharp. Her evidence hit Heidi’s weak spots hard. Just as


    victory seemed assured, Heidi exploded with rage, hurling usations at ra. The opposing


    counsel called for a recess.


    ra knew it was a stalling tactic and remained calm, returning to her seat. But as soon as she sat


    down, her phone rang — it was her father.


    “Miss, your father’s in critical condition. You need toe home now.”Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
