Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

Fabian replied, “It’s all because of those bad rumors. The stock prices are plummeting, and the shareholders can’t wait to get rid of Mr. Morris and run the company by themselves!” Worried that he might upset Nelly, he immediately added, “But there’s no need for you to be worried. Mr. Morris has already expected all these. In fact, he wants to use this opportunity to get rid of the incapable ones. That’s why he has yet to deal with the Lucas family. These people are no match for Mr. Morris. It’s only a matter of time before they are gone!”

Fabian sounded quite proud indeed. Nelly narrowed her eyes when she heard that. She looked at Fabian and asked, “Was moving the anniversary banquet forward part of his plan?” “That’s right…” The answer tumbled out of Fabian’s mouth too quickly before he realized it. In an instant, he was stunned. He stared at Nelly. Will Ms. Jackson misunderstand what I just said? “No.” Fabian went on to explain himself, “While this was Mr. Morris’s plan all along, his ultimate aim was to take revenge for you!” Yes, that’s right! Nelly looked at him in silence without any emotion.

Fabian frowned. Why do I feel like the more I explain, the more information I’m leaking out? “It’s true that Mr. Morris is doing this for you…” said Fabian sincerely. Nelly responded with a nod. “It’s true!” Fabian emphasized his point again because, judging from Nelly’s expression, she did not appear to believe him. Both Mr. Morris and Ms. Jackson are about to get back together. If it’s because of me that they don’t, Mr. Morris will surely kill me. The thought of it made a chill run down his spine.

Looking at Fabian’s worried expression, Nelly smiled and reassured him, “I got it.” However, for some strange reason, the calmer Nelly was, the more insecure Fabian felt. “So, you won’t blame Mr. Morris?” asked Fabian with a hopeful smile. Nelly remained silent.

Just then, someone knocked on the door and called out, “Mr. Houde.” Fabian walked over and had a few words with the person. He nodded before saying, “I understand.” When he turned around and looked at Nelly, she said, “Go ahead with your work. Don’t worry about me.” Fabian was about to open his mouth and say something, but he hesitated. In the end, he nodded and said, “Then, feel free to rest here. Mr. Morris will be back very soon.” Nelly nodded. With that, Fabian left the office.

Nelly drank her coffee with eyes void of emotions. Before that, she had been curious why Alpha Kilian was taking so long to deal with the Lucas family. It was not his style. Now, she realized that he was more abstruse than she knew him to be. Everyone was a chess piece on his board, but they were all clueless. However, as far as Nelly was concerned, there was no way she could stay out of it no matter what Alpha Kilian was up to. She just needed to do whatever was necessary. A clear conscience was more important.

Just then, she noticed that there were two photographs displayed on Alpha Kilian’s table. They were placed at an angle, so Nelly could not see the whole picture. Out of curiosity, she got up and took a better look. She was slightly startled when she saw the photos. The first one had the three children in it and had been taken recently, most likely during an outing with Alpha King Larry. The three young ones were smiling happily in that photograph. Even Nelly could not help but smile when she looked at it.

When she saw the other photo, she was taken aback. It was her. Nelly rarely had her photograph taken because she always felt that she appeared unreal. However, she looked both familiar and strange in that photo. She had no idea when the photograph had been taken, but judging from the angle, it had been done in secret. Nelly had no recollection of this photo at all. The most astonishing part of all was Alpha Kilian displaying their photographs in his office.

Nelly was not someone who bothered with formalities. In fact, she hardly noticed the superficial stuff. It was the minor details that caught her eye and gave her that unique feeling. Just as she was staring at the photographs in a daze, she heard someone shouting outside. “Alpha Kilian, who the hell do you think you are? Let me tell you something. I’m also a veteran of this company. What makes you think you can get rid of me just like that? Let go of me. Let go! Alpha Kilian, just wait and see. I won’t let you off!”

Outside Alpha Kilian’s office, the security guards were dragging a middle-aged man away. He kept yelling, but no one went up and helped him. In the end, the security guards managed to get him out of the office. As Nelly was watching, Alpha Kilian pushed the door open and walked in. Nelly looked at him with a smile and asked, “Is it settled? So soon?”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Alpha Kilian glanced at the photo in her hand and began to undo the top few buttons of his shirt with one hand. He walked toward her with a smile, nodded, and asked, “How is it? It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” Knowing that he was referring to the photograph, Nelly asked him pointedly, “When was this taken?”

“Take a guess,” Alpha Kilian said with a grin. There was no response from Nelly. At that moment, the two of them were so close to one another that they were about to touch. “What would you like to have for lunch?” asked Alpha Kilian in that deep, husky, and masculine voice of his. Nelly was unfazed. She looked him in the eyes and pretended to think about his question before answering, “Since you’ve achieved victory in such a massive chess game, Mr. Morris, we should celebrate it by going for a sumptuous meal.”

Alpha Kilian was an intelligent man and immediately understood what she was talking about. Raising his brows, he asked, “You know everything?” “From your tone, was I not supposed to know, Mr. Morris?” Nelly asked with her brows raised and a calm expression. “Of course not,” replied Alpha Kilian as his gaze darkened. “I have no intention of hiding it from you. I just didn’t manage to tell you in time. Furthermore, you weren’t one of my pawns!”

“If I wasn’t one of your pawns, then what was I?” Nelly was interested. “You’re my bottom line. One that no one is allowed to touch!” said Alpha Kilian in all seriousness.
