Chapter 100
Chapter 100 Full of Expectations for the Future
I pursed my lips, pinched my somewhat cold hands, and said, “I had no evidence, I tried to tell before,
but no one believed. Now I dare to tell. you, it’s because I have found the person who framed me with
Ashley
back then.”
She gave a slight nod, lifting her gaze to look at me. Then, she took a teacup from the tea table in front
of her and ced it on the table, tapping the table and said, “Sit down.”
Seeing her start to speak, I nodded. I had been standing since I came in, and indeed, my legs were
starting to feel numb.
After sitting down, she poured me a cup of tea, gazed at me thoughtfully for a moment, and said,
“Tabatha, you’re very smart and you know how to seize the moment. By rights, now that you’re
pregnant, I, as an elder, should not break you up under any circumstances. But I have to say this ugly
thing first, the incident five years ago, since you are confident that you can investigate it clearly, then I
believe you. As for the Conner Group, the current situation, to be honest, is not optimistic. There is a
shortage of funds, internal and external troubles. Even if your father were alive, he might not be able to
bring it back to life, let alone you. You should know that once the Conner Group has a slight problem
now, your status as the daughter- inw of the Hinton family is enough to affect the future development
of the Hinton Group.”
Naturally, I could understand her meaning, I nodded slightly, without any defense.
Seeing that I didn’t argue back, she continued, “Of course, you’re pregnant now, and I won’t force you
to divorce Walter. But whether
0.00%
this marriage can be saved depends on your ability. I have to remind you, Walter is responsible, but he
is indifferent to you after all. If the Conner Group can’t get through this crisis smoothly, once the Conner
Group goes bankrupt, you and Walter must divorce. Also, the child in your belly must stay with the
Hinton family.”
I nodded, seeing that she didn’t continue to focus on the matter between me and Walter, I couldn’t help
but breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at her, I said, “Rest assured, the affairs of the Conner family will
never affect the Hinton Group at any time.”
She didn’t say much more, slightly leaning back in her chair. “Alright, if that’s the case, I won’t say
much either. I’m tired too. You go do your things, I’ll rest here for a while.”
“Great!” With that, things were settled on Carley’s end.
I was a bit surprised, I didn’t expect to convince Carley so easily. I got up, said goodbye to Carley, and
turned to leave the room.
In the inner courtyard, the guests had mostly finished eating. Most of them were either watching the
opera or gathered together, chatting and reminiscing.
After talking with Carley, I felt somewhat relieved. I’ve always lived my life in confusion, but the one
thing I was clear about from the beginning was marrying Walter. I liked him, even though I tried hard to
appear indifferent in the past, I always knew what I wanted.
Since this child appeared at this time, does it mean that my fate with Walter is not over? I won’t divorce
unless it’s absolutely necessary, even though I’m not sure if he really loves me now. But it’s okay,
there’s plenty of time in the future, I will strive to be a part of his life.
Now that things had been rified with Carley, it was also necessary
32.97%
to clear things up with Walter, of course, he also had to be told about the child. This time, he was truly
going to be a father.

I was in a good mood, took a look around the yard, but didn’t find Walter. Instead, I saw Alexander with
my mother.
How did theye?
I approached the two of them, looking at my mother and asked, “Mom, did you just arrive?” I didn’t see
my mother when I was wishing Carley a happy birthday earlier.
She nodded and said, “There was traffic on the road. I was originally nning toe by myself, but I
thought that Alexander had nothing to do at home, so I came with him. Where is Carley? I arrivedte, I
need to exin to people, and I have to deliver this gift personally.”
I pointed at Carley’s yard, then involuntarily nced at Alexander. Wasn’t he the one who disliked
these kinds of parties the most? Why did hee too?
Seeing me looking at him, Alexander didn’t pay any attention to me. Instead, he was enthusiastically
observing theyout of the Hinton family’s mansion.
Mother went into Carley’s room, and I turned to Alexander, saying, “It’s rare for you to be interested in
this kind of banquet.”
He withdrew his gaze, pointed at the stage and said, “This is Kunqu Opera, right? The Hinton family,
especially Carley, has quite a high
taste.”
I nced at him, just about to berate him a few words.
A head suddenly popped out from the side, it was Olivia, her round face with curved eyebrows and
eyes, looking at me and said, “Tabatha, you’re here. Odin said someone asked you to go to the gazebo
at the

back of the yard.”
