Chapter 373: Chapter 374: Almost Became a Cheap Father Once
Sienna Johnson sat on the lounger, gazing at the white clouds in the sky and the birds flying past, gently stroking her belly. The Stewart Family was very close to their demise...
"Dad, I’m pregnant..."
"..."
"I hope I can give you a grandchild this time... It would be so good if you were still alive..."
"..."
"Dad, I will be able to avenge you soon."
She smiled at a cloud in the sky, as if it had turned into her father’s form. Her father was still the same, his eyebrows and eyes gentle and caring. What a considerate man he was.
「...」
In River Hill Villa, wealthy people and their mistresses inhabited the place, and Sissi, as Frederick Stewart’s mistress, lived there too.
Sabrina Johnson learned from Master Leland that the villa Sissi lived in was her own; Frederick Stewart had directly gifted her the expensive property.
Knowing this, Sabrina Johnson was so filled with hatred that she gritted her teeth. It was just a tryst with a little star, yet Frederick was really into her, even giving Sissi a villa.
"Just be patient, the show is about to begin..." Master Leland said with a laugh.
"Will Frederick Stewart be coming?" she asked.
When Master Leland brought her here, he only said that there was a great spectacle for her to watch, regarding Sissi. He didn’t say much else. Therefore, Sabrina Johnson wasn’t sure what was going to happen.
"You’ll see..."
Seeing Master Leland unwilling to answer, Sabrina Johnson didn’t continue asking.
Sabrina Johnson and Master Leland were also in this neighborhood, in the villa right next to Sissi’s. On the monitor, Sabrina Johnson saw Sissi entangled with a man. The man in the picture was Sissi’s ex-boyfriend, Nash Brown, the father of the child in her belly and a somewhat famous stylist in the entertainment circle.
"What’s this?" Sabrina was astonished.
She had never expected Sissi to be so audacious, to actually two-time.
"The man is her ex-lover, the father of the child in her belly!" Master Leland explained.
"She’s got some nerve!" Sabrina mocked.
"Those who seek wealth must be prepared for risk. If she can marry into the Stewarts by the merit of her child, that would be the best. Even if she can’t marry into the family, she could still get a lot of money."
"She’s dreaming!"
Master Leland chuckled and caressed Sabrina’s hand fondly, but she reacted by pulling her hand away abruptly, leaving Master Leland a bit embarrassed.
The screen was too vivid, even featuring sound. Watching this with Master Leland, Sabrina was extremely awkward; her face flushed slightly, and she kept her head down.
Suddenly, Master Leland said, "Frederick Stewart is here..."
Sabrina instantly looked up, only to see Frederick Stewart barge in. Then the video feed stopped. After a few seconds, she heard Sissi’s shriek as she pushed the man on top of her away and wrapped herself in a blanket.
"Frederick, he...he violated me..."
The situation was very disadvantageous to Sissi, but Sissi was quick-witted; she immediately claimed that her ex-boyfriend had assaulted her in an attempt to clear her name.
"You whore, you still want to deceive me? This man is your ex-boyfriend... I know everything..."
"Frederick, I broke up with him a long time ago... I really did..." Sissi cried out.
"Tell me, who is the father of the child in your belly?"
Frederick never thought someone would dare cuckold him. If it weren’t for someone telling him that they saw Sissi getting close to another man, he would still be in the dark.
"Of course, it’s yours..."
Frederick said, gritting his teeth, "Is that so? Do you dare to take a paternity test with me?"
Sissi stopped crying and hesitated for a moment. Frederick slapped her across the face. "You slut!" he snarled. Sabrina flinched at the sound, feeling a pang of sympathy for Sissi.
"Frederick, listen to me... listen to my explanation... I didn’t mean to deceive you... AHH!" Sissi cried as Frederick, infuriated, started hitting her, slapping her face repeatedly. He had completely lost his usual composure and elegance.
Looking at this side of Frederick Stewart she had never seen before, Sabrina murmured, "Is he really Frederick Stewart?"
"Of course it is. However, he has been going through a tough time recently. Your sister is taking action against him. It won’t be long before the ownership of Frederick Pharmaceuticals changes hands." Master Leland withdrew his gaze and looked at Sabrina.
"..."
"Leave Frederick Stewart and come with me."
Sabrina firmly refused, "No!"
After the drama, she stood up and left.
Master Leland didn’t bother chasing after her. He had been through a lot in his life. It was rare for him to find a woman who caught his interest, and he was in no rush. He had plenty of time to slowly conquer this woman.
「...」
At the Stewart residence, the door of the study was tightly shut; the Stewart family of three was inside.
"What? The child in that woman’s belly isn’t yours?" Alana Harris asked in surprise. She could hardly believe her ears.
"Is the information confirmed?" William Stewart was much calmer than his wife. Although he too was angry, he remained more composed.
Frederick didn’t mention that he had caught Sissi and Nash Brown red-handed in the villa; he only shared the result. "Yes, I took her for a paternity test. The child is definitely not mine."
"How can there be such a woman, getting pregnant by another man and trying to taint our Stewart bloodline? We are lucky you discovered this in time. Otherwise, our family would have had to swallow this bitter pill in silence," Alana raged.
Frederick now knew what it felt like to swallow a bitter pill in silence.
"We can’t let her off easily!" Alana continued relentlessly. "You must have a meal with the boss of Sissi’s company tomorrow and ban her! As long as our family is around, she can forget about making a life for herself in Sileria City!"
Interrupting his wife, William said with dissatisfaction, "At a time like this, why bother wasting time on such lowlifes? Frederick, how is the situation at the company?"
The company’s issues were much more complicated than Sissi’s. "Although the stock price hasn’t continued to fall, it hasn’t risen either. Many shareholders have been trapped and forced to sell at a loss. I’ve found out that someone is secretly buying up these loose stocks... I have no idea what they’re trying to do."
William snorted coldly and then laughed. "What else could they be doing? Of course, they want to take over Frederick Pharmaceuticals!"
"..."
"Acquiring stocks like this... it’s a good method. Not a drop of blood shed, and the ownership of Frederick Pharmaceuticals changes hands."
Frederick’s brows furrowed deeply. "Dad, what should we do?"
"You absolutely must not sell any of the shares you hold. Once your stake in the company decreases, the other party will seize the opportunity to suppress you, and you’ll be kicked out of the Board of Directors."
