Chapter 100 Who’s Pregnant

“Ah, but even if you had come during this time, we might not have been able to entertain you properly
“What happened?” Emelie asked.
“It’s all because of William and his father.” Vanessa shook her head.
“The relationship between them has deteriorated to the extreme because of that secretary named
Daphne
“William hasn’t come home during this time, and he hasn’t answered any calls or messages.”
It wasn’t unusual for William not to come home, considering he hadn’t been back for six months last time.
But not responding to calls and messages was indeed a first.
One can see how bad the relationship between father and son has become from this incident.
Emelie glanced at Vanessa discreetly.
She likely knew that one reason for the strained relationship between William and his father was Vanessa.
However, in her opinion, Vanessa, as a stepmother, had been relatively modest in all aspects.
She heard that Vanessa got an intrauterine device implanted after marrying Henry, showing her sincerity
in not wanting children and not competing with William for power, money, or status.
“I really can’t understand; what’s so good about that secretary?
“Why does he like her so much? Clearly, you’re much better than her, Emelie,” Vanessa continued to
complain.
None of these remarks were appropriate for Emelie to respond to, so she simply listened silently.
Vanessa sighed again. “For the father–son relationship to deteriorate to this extent, what will happen in
the future?
“If that secretary had either a good family background or capability, Henry wouldn’t be so opposed to
them.
*But since William likes her so much, we’ll just have to accept it if there’s no other way.”
Vanessa was more of the soft–hearted type among strict parents.
However, reflecting on it, she wasn’t entirely fabricating the situation.
Would she have still resigned when her contract expired if Daphne hadn’t appeared?
Emelie herself didn’t know the answer.
