After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire’s Child Chapter 349: 341: Kindred Spirits

Chapter 349: Chapter 341: Kindred Spirits

In the secretary’s office, sunlight stread through the floor-to-ceiling window, illuminating Sophie Parker’s exquisite makeup.

She was reporting work progress to Charles Smith with a smug expression: “Secretary General, we have contacted several core engineers from Carter Automotive, offering them double salaries. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be able to start at Imperial Motors next month.”

Charles sat behind the desk, his gaze behind the gold-rimd glasses holding a hint of scrutiny: “No response from Deity Owen’s side?”

Sophie’s red lips curved into a mocking arc: “What reaction could she have? Ever since Carlos disappeared, she’s been quite dejected, staying holed up at the Cloud Lake Villa all the ti.” She played disdainfully with the pen in her hand, “Looks like she’s planning to retire to the sidelines and beco a full-ti mom.”

— Carlos is likely not dead yet.

When this news ca out, Sophie was indeed montarily surprised. But then she thought, in her dreams, after being expelled from the family, Carlos had only gone abroad and wasn’t dead. But now, it didn’t matter anymore. Without Old Master Carter and Carlos, the Carter Family was just a group of old, weak won and children, not a threat at all. As for Emily being “Deity Owen”? Sophie still didn’t believe it. She always felt that it was just a gimmick put out by Carter Automotive, that the real Deity Owen was soone else.

“Ring-a-ling—”

A pleasant cellphone ring interrupted her thoughts. Sophie apologized with a smile towards Charles, took out her phone, and instantly her face blood with a sweet smile.

“Brother Adam~” Her voice was syrupy sweet, “Seven o’clock tonight, I’ve already inford Mom and Dad, you just need to pick up Uncle, Aunt, and Alia.”

After hanging up the phone, Sophie could hardly contain her excitent: “Secretary General, Brother Adam and I have decided to get engaged at the beginning of next month! You must co by then.”

Charles smiled slightly: “Congratulations.”

— It seems that after being detained for a few days, Adam Willow finally ca to his senses.

In the face of money and status, those fluttery, romantic notions of love are completely insignificant.

In the evening, at the Empire Hotel.

Sophie was ticulously dressed, wearing a high-end couture dress, stepping into the private room on high heels elegantly. However, when she saw Rainny White sitting next to Evan Palr, her smile instantly froze.

— Why was this woman here too?!

Rainny, with her yet-to-be-noticeable baby bump, sat there arrogantly, picking and choosing at the dishes the waiter brought up: “This is too salty… that one is too oily…”

Sophie suppressed her anger, excused herself to the bathroom, and as soon as she reached the corridor, her phone suddenly rang.

“What?!” She lowered her voice, her face suddenly turning grim, “All the engineers from Carter Automotive have changed their minds? Why?!”

The person on the other end of the line hemd and hawed, unable to give a coherent explanation. Sophie was so angry she almost smashed her phone, seething with rage, when suddenly—

“Bang!”

A glass of red wine was suddenly thrown onto her designer bag!

“Ah! My bag!” Sophie scread, glaring angrily at the woman in front of her— Rainny White?!

“Compensate?” The other woman sneered, suddenly kicking hard at Sophie’s knee!

“Ah—!”

Sophie was caught off guard, falling heavily to the ground. Her dress was soaked with wine stains, her ticulously done hair was disheveled, and her makeup was ruined.

She bawling and wailing rushed back to the private room, pointing at Rainny White, ready to attack: “You bitch! How dare you—”

“Sophie!” Evan Palr sternly stopped her, “Rainny has been sitting here the whole ti and never left!”

Sophie froze in place, struck as if by lightning.

— Then who was the “Rainny White” she t in the bathroom just now?!
