Chapter 2

In my previous life, I had been suspicious of Gary before he faked his death.

During that time, I was in poor health and recuperated at home, but he didn't stay home and take care of me. Instead, he often went out to fish with his friends.

Later, I found out that he had in fact gone to be with Mona.

It was not until I was about to die that I knew Gary was the father of her baby.

It was fair to say that my marriage was full of conspiracies.

Ever since I inherited my parents' legacy and took over the company, Mona and Lucy had been plotting in secret.

They arranged for me to meet with Gary.

In fact, Mona had been pregnant before I got married to Gary.

After getting married, I wanted a child, but Gary always found all kinds of excuses to turn me down.

He said he didn't wanna wear me out, and he didn't want the kid to ruin our romantic life.

I bought it at that time, naively thinking that I could wait for a few years. After all, we were both young.

Now that I thought about it, I blamed myself for being so naive. I trusted those three too much.

After the call was connected, before I could speak, Leroy Thompson, the private detective, said hurriedly, "Ms. Robson, I was just about to call you!

"You asked me to investigate your husband's recent whereabouts. I've got some clues!

"He's been to Moonlight Community a lot in the last month. I spent money and used my connections to get the surveillance video of that community and found that he often went to Villa No. 12 of Moonlight Community...

"Also, during this time, he's been to the maternal and child health hospital with a pregnant woman, and it seems that they're quite intimate."

As he spoke, he sent me the surveillance video and the photos he secretly took.

I glanced at them, gritted my teeth, and snorted.

The pregnant woman was indeed Mona.

Lucy and Mona lived in the No. 12 villa in Moonlight Community.

After Henry and my parents had a car accident, I inherited my parents' money. Figuring that Lucy was the only family I had left, and she and Mona must have been struggling, I bought the villa for them.

And how did they repay me?

They bit the hand that fed them. They were so ungrateful!

I transferred Leroy 150 thousand dollars and said coldly, "Find Gary, and I'll give you another 750 thousand dollars!"

Leroy said excitedly, "Ms. Robson, you have my word. As long as he's still in town, I'll find him!"

I went out, found a join to eat something, and then went to the office.

As soon as I arrived at the company, I found that many people were looking at me weirdly.

They probably have heard Gary's "death" and are wondering what I'm doing here.

My secretary, Madge Binder, walked over quickly. She said to me anxiously, "Please go to the Finance Department right now!

"I didn't inform you because I didn't wanna disturb you. Ms. Robson and Ms. Davis are firing everyone there since they wanna take full control of money..."

I knew it. Of course, Lucy and Mona would do something!

Lucy didn't get the seals when she was at my place, so she wanted to start with the Finance Department.

Once Lucy and Mona got their way, they'd transfer every penny my parents left me in a second.

I came to the Finance Department. Before I entered, I heard Lucy and Mona scold my accountants, including Faye Barber.

Lucy scolded, "The Robson family owns the company, and I'm Tilda's aunt and her only family. She won't say a thing now that I'm firing all of you!

"She's been home recuperating these days and hasn't gotten time to ask about the company's financial affairs, so she asked me to come and check the accounts. Why are you stopping me? How bold!

"Are you worried that I'll tamper with the company's financial affairs?

"You know me! Even Tilda's late parents didn't treat me like a thief. You work for us. Don't forget that. You really think you own this place?

"I'm being nice. If you dare to stop me again, you'll all be kicked away!"

All my accountants, including Faye, pulled a long face. If it weren't for the fact that Lucy was my aunt, they'd have called the security guards to kick Lucy and Mona away already.

Faye said to Lucy, trying to be as patient as she could, "That's not quite proper, don't you think?

"We aren't standing your way. The thing is, Ms. Robson didn't give us any orders. Don't you think you're giving us a hard time by showing up here unannounced and demanding the power to control the money just like this?

"At least show us Ms. Robson's personal seal or the company's seal. Or I can just call her..."

Before she could finish her words, Mona said angrily, "Shut up! Gary is dead, and she's home mourning. You really think you should call her now? Don't disturb her!

"Tilda is in poor health, and Gary's accident has worsened her condition. You really think she's in the mood to manage the company now?

"I'm pregnant, OK? She asked Lucy and me to help her manage the company's financial affairs! Or I wouldn't have bothered at all!

"Enough said! Hand over your work. You'll have a few days off. Come back when Tilda is done with Gary's affairs and comes back!"

Lucy and Mona were on their high horse, thinking that they owned the place. I was pissed off and amused.

Faye and the others were so angry that their faces turned red. In the next second, they saw me standing at the door.

Their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly said, "Ms. Robson! We're about to quit our jobs if you don't show up! We're being given a hard time!"

Lucy and Mona were stunned and turned around at once.

When they saw me, they looked a little panicked.

I pretended to be confused. "Lucy, what are you and Mona doing?

"When did I tell you to take over the company's finances?"

Hearing what I said, everyone in the office looked at them strangely.
