Chapter 591
The secretary was already used to it, so it was not the first time the woman had come here.
In fact, her name was not unfamiliar. As a newly famous actress in the entertainment industry, she was also a prominent figure.
After entering the room, Emily Powell easily closed Lincoln's computer and hooked her arms around his neck. "Why? Is your wife calling you again?" "Don't mention her to me," said Lincoln impatiently. "Bad Luck!"
Carrie kept going to the old residence and fawned over Valerie over the past few days. Lincoln was filled with anger when Carrie was mentioned. A hint of joy flashed across Emily's heart when she saw that. She patted Lincoln's chest to soothe him.
"Don't be mad. Don't be mad. It's not like you haven't experienced her all these years. She know what you're afraid of but insisted on doing it. If you want my opinion, you might as well cut ties with her..."
Emily carefully observed Lincoln's reaction as she spoke. She said it unintentionally but meant it. After all, the Grant family was the wealthiest in Kranson City. She had been Lincoln's mistress for many years, so she naturally hoped to be promoted early.
Unexpectedly, Lincoln frowned and looked displeased.
"Carrie is my son's mother, after all, and she even found out she was pregnant a few days ago!"
The Grant family was underpopulated for years. Having an additional child would give Lincoln more confidence to fight for the family assets. Lincoln wanted the baby no matter what!
"Furthermore, she has a strong family background and is a great help to me," said Lincoln. "Don't mention such things again. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind to you next time!" Lincoln smiled faintly. "Emily, you know what I like most about you. I like it when you know your limits..."
There was a hint of threat in his words.
Emily had obtained a lot of resources from Lincoln over the years. She went from being an unknown extra to a minor famous actress. Naturally, she did not dare to take any risks. Emily was annoyed at Lincoln's words but did not dare show it. She could only force a smile and nod.
However, Lincoln was not interested in her anymore. He casually found an excuse to send Emily home.
Naturally, Lincoln didn't want to go home. However, the child in Carrie's belly was his hope. He planned to put on a good show during this period. On the other hand, Carrie did not think much of it. She only knew Lincoln had a lot of social engagements. Every time Lincoln returned home, she would always smell of perfume. She did not take it seriously. After all, which woman outside did not want to rack their brains to enter the Grant family? Now that Carrie was pregnant, she did not have that much energy. She did not want to care about many things.
However, she did not know that undercurrents were surging under the calmness...
At the Anderson family.
"Matthew truly left?"
"Mr. Anderson, how can it be fake? The Grant family is now run by his trusted aides. Only a pregnant woman and an old lady left at the old residence..."
Owen smiled faintly when he heard that. Valerie had ruined his plans time and time again. Now that Matthew, her backer, was gone, it should not be a problem for him to find some trouble for Valerie.
"Go and tell Emily if she wants to be promoted, she should do it now. Carrie, the old woman, is pregnant. This is the best time!"
Lincoln and Carrie had been a couple for more than two decades. Lincoln appeared to be deeply in love with Carrie, but they actually respected each other coldly.
When Carrie mentioned it, Lincoln would say they were an old married couple without driving.
Now, Lincoln got Carrie pregnant. Carrie would stop bugging him.
As for Emily, she was only in her twenties. She had good looks and a figure. Who wouldn't like a young and beautiful girl like her?
Emily had just suffered a loss at Lincoln's hands and was upset. She immediately became restless when she heard the news. However, she was still a little wary of the person who sent the news.
"Who are you? Why should I trust you?"
Owen's subordinate could not be
bothered with Emily. "Believe it or not," he said with a half-smile. "It's only a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, you'll never know when it'll happen again." Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Emily knew it was a rare opportunity. However, she was still a little nervous.
Carrie did not know that she had an
affair with Lincoln. Lincoln had hidden her well. She repeatedly tried to expose her relationship with Lincoln, but Lincoln was the first to notice it and warn her.
She knew Lincoln might kick her away if she did not behave. But who would be willing to be a lover for life?
What Emily wanted was the position of the legitimate Mrs. Grant!
Emily did not dare to act rashly for fear of angering Lincoln. Although she was his lover, Lincoln had warned her from the beginning not to say anything before Carrie.
Of course, Emily did not dare to look for Carrie directly. She could only come in a roundabout way.
After thinking about it for a few days, Emily could not help but contact Owen's subordinate.
Owen's subordinate seemed to have expected her to take the initiative to contact him. He immediately gave her a plan and asked her to go to an address.
"I Have Cats... Isn't it a Cat Cafe?"
Emily was puzzled.
Owen's subordinate was certain. "You'll know when you get there..."
Carrie went to look for Valerie every day. If Valerie knew, wouldn't Carrie know as well?
