"......" Ugh, fine, pretend she never said anything.Terry spent the rest of the morning discussing with Lisa about what kind of distance to maintain with her favorite idols.In the afternoon, Lisa continued to stay in Terry's office, eating snacks and drinking tea, having a great time.The senior executives and secretaries who were in Terry's office frequently were used to her by now. They were all very respectful towards Lisa. Anyone could see that she would most likely become Mrs. White one day.Finally, people eventually stopped coming to the office that afternoon. Lisa suddenly stopped what she was doing, her body tensing up. She looked down at her abdomen in disbelief."What's wrong?" Terry immediately noticed her abnormality.Even while he was doing work, he would glance at her from time to time, keeping an eye on her.Lisa raised her head to look at Terry and blinked a few times. She saw that Terry was putting down the pen in his hand and getting up to come check on he

The post quickly gained attention and the news soon became a hot topic online.Lisa stared at the phone, dumbfounded. Although the post did not mention any names, she and Terry had already been exposed.Moreover, Gale had not come forward to deny it even though the post had gained so much attention, so the public concluded that the speculation must be true.Lisa could not help but recall Gale's strange phone call earlier that morning. Was this why he apologized?But... the baby in her womb clearly had nothing to do with Gale. Why would he say that?!Lisa raised her head and saw that Terry was also looking at his phone. His handsome face was currently filled with a gloomy expression.Lisa's heart skipped a beat."Terry, the... the baby's not Gale's. I swear, I didn't do anything with him..." Lisa explained in a hurry.But Terry ignored her. He looked back up and told his secretary, "Get out. Also, reject all interview requests, no matter who it’s from. And tell all the company e

"I know that the baby in your womb is definitely mine, so there's no room for misunderstanding. You and Gale have never had that kind of relationship," Terry assured Lisa, caressing her face gently as he spoke.Lisa, still unsure, stammered, "You... you really won't misunderstand?""I won't," he replied confidently. "Because you've always loved me, haven't you?"Upon hearing this, Lisa burst into tears and embraced Terry tightly, seeking solace in his shoulder. "I... I only love you, Terry. You... you're the only one I've ever loved. I've never been intimate with anyone else... never, never..."She sobbed like a child.Terry comforted her tenderly, saying, "I know, I know! Don't you worry, I'll take care of this. I won't let you suffer this injustice, so don't cry. Remember what the doctor said about maintaining a happy mood for the baby’s sake?"At the mention of their unborn child, Lisa quickly composed herself and said, "Okay, I’m not gonna cry... I’m not gonna cry..." though

Lisa's stomach grumbled loudly, reminding her that she had missed mealtime."Are you hungry? I'll ask the chef at the mansion to make something. If we head back now, the food should be ready by the time we get home," Terry said. He called the White family mansion and gave some instructions, then walked out of the office holding Lisa's hand. Instead of taking the usual route towards the main entrance, they headed towards the side door. Even so, there was still a crowd of reporters camping there. Fortunately, Terry had arranged for ample security guards, ensuring their safety.The reporters persistently tried to push through, but they were unable to get close to Terry and Lisa.Terry shielded Lisa as they moved forward, while the reporters bombarded them with sharp questions.A female reporter asked, "Mr. Terry, Miss Lisa was your girlfriend five years ago. Are you maintaining silence out of guilt because you feel like you owe her? Is that why you're choosing to protect her reputat

When the car door closed, the noise from outside was blocked out. The car then drove away.Lisa remained in a daze, her eyes still fixated on Terry."Why are you looking at me like that?" Terry's voice snapped Lisa back to reality.Lisa struggled to find the right words. "You didn't have to say that just to silence the reporters. The heir of the White family... that's..."A faint smile played on Terry's lips. "Do you want someone else's child to be the heir of the White family?"Lisa didn't know what to say. Terry continued, "Lisa, the mother of my children can only be you, and the father of your children can only be me. Therefore, the heir of the White family will undoubtedly be your child, and that will never change."Tears welled up in Lisa's eyes. Although this man refused to tell her that he forgave her, he kept showing her how much he loved her with his actions and kept assuring her of their future together."Terry, loving you has been a beautiful experience," Lisa whisper

"I will. You know I won't be shy to ask for your help," Lisa replied with a chuckle before recalling something important. "By the way, Clara called me earlier to check on me. When our conversation eventually shifted towards Yanny, I noticed that Clara's voice sounded a bit off. I hope nothing happened to Yanny."Upon hearing that, Serenity recalled the incident at the elementary school where she saw a girl threatening Yanny. She thus said, "I'll pay Clara a visit to see if everything's alright.""Okay, I hope it's just my imagination," Lisa said.In contrast to Lisa's joy at not being misunderstood, Glynnis Quirk was consumed with anger as she watched the news footage showing her son speaking to reporters about Lisa's unborn child, declaring that regardless of gender, the child would be the future heir of the White family. She felt like she had been humiliated.It was as if her son was proclaiming to the world that Lisa Quest was untouchable, and more importantly, declaring her fut

Later that day, Glynnis held a press conference where she firmly stated that she would never recognize Lisa's unborn child as the future heir of the White family. She openly questioned the paternity of the child and accused Lisa of using her pregnancy as a means to gain status and wealth. Glynnis expressed her hope that her son would not be further deceived.Furthermore, she declared that if her son continued to be stubborn, she would use her 10% share of the White Maple Group, along with other shareholders, to oppose his position as CEO. She believed that someone who let himself be tricked by a woman was not fit to lead the company.Glynnis' speech at the press conference was impassioned. She declared her determination to protect the White Maple Group, which was left behind by her late husband, even if it meant going against her own son. She would not stand by and let him ruin the company.In his office, Terry watched the press conference on his computer screen, his lips curling wi

Terry's body stiffened as he held her, his expression blank. Yes, Lisa and his mother were indeed different. His mother saw him as a means to power and wealth, a mere pawn. But Lisa... she would never view him that way. Whether he was the young man she met by chance or the CEO of the White Maple Group, to her, he was just "Terry"."Lisa..." he murmured, his hands tightly embracing her back, "Thank you."Her face pressed against his chest, she asked, puzzled by his words, "For what?""Thank you... for coming to San Marco to find me!" he said. If not for her determined pursuit of him, they might have truly missed out on each other.In the following days, all the major news outlets extensively covered the "major power shift" that could potentially happen in the White Maple Group. The spectacle of mother and son turning against each other garnered significant public attention.Speculation ran rampant about the upcoming CEO election for the White Maple Group, with people wondering who
