The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Chapter 352 - 353: Protecting Wife

Yvette Harris looked at Sabrina Johnson’s beautiful face and began to scheme for her. "You could try with another man; maybe you’ll get pregnant."

"..."

"If you can’t get pregnant, have you ever considered that maybe it’s Frederick Stewart’s problem?"

"..."

"Since Frederick Stewart can’t make it happen, then find a different man!"

Sabrina Johnson stared at Yvette Harris in shock. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Your brother isn’t my late husband’s biological son either, so what? Jeremy Harris still raised him until he was fifteen. Now that Jeremy Harris is dead, all the property belongs to me and your brother..."

"..."

"Do you know? If I hadn’t given Jeremy Harris a son back then, do you think he would have kicked out his first wife and married me?" Yvette Harris sounded quite proud as she said this.

Jeremy Harris favored sons over daughters. His first wife had borne him a daughter but was unable to bear him a son. When Yvette Harris became pregnant, an ultrasound showed it was a boy. Relying on her unborn son, Yvette stirred up all sorts of drama, ultimately driving away Jeremy Harris’s first wife and daughter during her pregnancy.

Looking back on her life, Yvette Harris felt incredibly proud. She might not have come from as good a background as Pauline Briggs, nor was she as beautiful, but she hadn’t ended up any worse off. In fact, she lived much better than Pauline. Pauline had helped raise Yvette’s daughter, and naturally, when the girl grew up, she remained close to Yvette. As for Pauline, even her own biological daughter didn’t care for her. How foolish! Doting on an adopted daughter instead of her own flesh and blood. Doesn’t she know that without a biological tie, no amount of affection truly matters? It served her right that her own daughter grew estranged from her!

Yvette Harris was like a venomous snake. "As long as you have a son, it doesn’t matter who the father is."

Sabrina Johnson was tempted, but her remaining sense of morality prevented her from easily agreeing. Yvette Harris laughed. "Come back tomorrow. I’ll help you find a man who can give you a son..."

"But..." Sabrina Johnson still couldn’t overcome the hurdle in her heart.

"You’re my biological daughter; that’s why I’m telling you these heartfelt words. If you don’t want to, just forget it. But if Frederick Stewart dumps you one day, don’t blame me for not warning you..."

"Let me think about it."

"Okay."

...

「Eastminster Group,」

In the office, a young girl with her head bowed was explaining to Sienna Johnson, "...President Johnson, that’s what happened. I definitely had no intention of seducing your husband... Please don’t fire me. I really like Eastminster Group, and I greatly admire you, President Johnson... I want to stay at Eastminster Group."

After Lucy Harrington finished speaking, she bowed deeply to Sienna Johnson, looking as if she were awaiting judgment.

Ever since Adrian Desmond had threatened her that day, Lucy had been in a constant state of anxiety. She waited for Sienna Johnson’s retaliation, but several days passed and Sienna never approached her. Unable to bear the suspense any longer, Lucy finally went to Sienna herself. It’s better to face the music now than to live in fear every day, right?

"So you’re Lucy Harrington?"

As expected, that man tattled on me, Lucy thought. "President Johnson, yes, I’m Lucy Harrington, a clerk in the Human Resources Department."

It’s over. It’s completely over.

Seeing Lucy’s look of utter dejection, Sienna Johnson, however, suddenly found this girl quite interesting. "What did you major in?"

"Computer Science."

"If you studied Computer Science, why did you come to Eastminster Group instead of a software company?"

"President Johnson, you studied medicine, but you didn’t become a doctor, did you?"

"It seems you know quite a bit about me."

Seeing Sienna Johnson’s pleasant expression, Lucy felt less afraid and smiled. "Yes, we all admire you, President Johnson. You’re beautiful, intelligent, and capable... Oh, President Johnson, Trey from our department also graduated from Sileria University. She’s your junior and said you were amazing, always ranking first in exams."

Lucy looked at Sienna Johnson with pure adoration, the way a fan gazes at their beloved celebrity. Sienna felt a little embarrassed and said, "Have you ever heard the saying? Success is like pregnancy: everyone congratulates you, but no one knows how many times you’ve been screwed."

"Wow, President Johnson, your words are so profound..."

Sienna Johnson: ...

"I want to tell you that I’ve actually put in a lot of effort... When I was in school, while others were dating, shopping, and clubbing, I was in the library studying. That’s why I was always number one." Can’t this girl grasp the main point?

"Yes, President Johnson, I understand what you mean. I will work hard, twice as hard! Please, can you not fire me?"

"When did I say I was going to fire you?"

"But your husband... he said?"

"He is my husband, that’s true, but the decision-making power at Eastminster Group rests with me. He can’t dictate personnel appointments."

The heavy weight on Lucy’s heart finally lifted. She said excitedly, "President Johnson, don’t worry, I’ll work very hard!"

"Good. You can go now."

However, Lucy didn’t move and looked a bit sheepish. Sienna Johnson asked, "What is it?"

"Um, President Johnson, can we take a picture together?" Lucy held up one finger, indicating she only wanted one photo.

"Why?"

"You’re our idol! Everyone will be so envious if they know you took a picture with me. Please, President Johnson!"

Sienna Johnson put down her pen. "Lucy..."

"Yes, President Johnson? What are your instructions?"

"I think that as a newcomer to the workplace, you should be more mature. Acting like this makes me question your professionalism."

"President Johnson, rest assured! In front of clients, I always maintain a high-end, elegant, and sophisticated demeanor..."

Sienna Johnson: ...

"President Johnson, I’ll count one, two, three, and we’ll say ’eggplant,’ okay?"

Sienna Johnson didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. How did I get stuck with such a character? "One, two, three, eggplant!"

"..."

"Yes!" Lucy admired the photo on her phone, a sweet smile on her face. Sienna Johnson then had the amusing young woman leave her office.

At lunchtime, Vivian Abbey found her and showed her a photo posted in the company’s WhatsApp group.

It was the photo Lucy had taken with her that morning. However, in the posted image, Sienna’s face was blurred, while Lucy’s face had been smoothed and slimmed down using a beauty filter. Lucy had captioned the photo: "A complete guide to taking photos with women prettier than you!"

"Haha..." Sienna Johnson couldn’t help but laugh at Lucy’s antics.

Vivian also clicked her tongue. "Girls these days are certainly getting craftier. Look, to prevent your face from looking smaller than hers, she actually blurred your face."

Another comment appeared below the photo.

——Fatty, you blurred my wife’s face, but you can’t hide her gorgeous figure, fool!
