Chapter 5

The honeymoon quickly came to an end.

William and I both joined the Clark Group under the guise of gaining experience.

Just like in my previous life, William was rapidly promoted.

He even approached me, hoping I'd leave the Clark Group voluntarily, promising me a million dollars in return.

I refused without hesitation.

He was so angry that his face twisted with rage.

I steadily climbed the ladder, relying on the skills I'd learned in school, and earned a promotion too.

Soon, I was on par with William.

On the day I got promoted, my colleagues all said they wanted to celebrate.

At that moment, William barged into the office and loudly announced, "I'm treating everyone to dinner today to celebrate my wife's pregnancy!

"Once my son is born, I'll be the future head of the Clark Group. When that time comes, everyone here will get raises and promotions!"

His excited gaze was fixed directly on me.

I almost couldn't hold back my laughter.

In my past life, the day before the explosion, I was home resting due to illness.

I hadn't told Isla about it.

As a result, I overheard Isla on the phone with someone else.

"It's your fault! Now I'm pregnant again! Owen hasn't touched me lately. How am I supposed to explain this?"

"Fine, once the baby's born, I'll just say it was premature. Seriously, I've already given you three kids. How are you still unsatisfied?"

I was completely floored.

Later, I used my connections to investigate.

It didn't take long to uncover some clues.

It turned out that Isla had been having an affair with Levi's male assistant for a long time!

Levi had disapproved of their relationship.

So, they plotted to continue their affair after Isla's marriage, planning for the assistant's child to inherit the Clark family fortune.

After Levi passed away, they intended to kill me quietly so the assistant could take over.

Before they could kill me, William went mad and ended up killing all of us.

I smiled as I looked at the top of William's head, imagining it glowing bright green with envy.

William shot me a glare and flashed a greedy smile. "What are you looking at? Once my son is born, the Clark family will be mine!

"By then, if you beg me on your knees, maybe I'll consider letting you be the doorman for the company!"

I chuckled softly. "Alright, I'll be waiting."

I hadn't expected William to be so impatient.

The next day, he went to Levi and told him that Isla was pregnant.

Levi immediately beamed with joy. "Really? This will be my first grandchild!

"Great! If it's a boy, I'll..."

William's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Before Levi could finish, Zoe, sitting beside me, suddenly frowned and threw up.
