How dare you punish me?”
“Surprised?” Lucinda raised an eyebrow and smiled.
“I should shake things up a little since I’m new here, shouldn’t I?
It’s all your fault today. You offended me first.”
Crosby didn’t want to give up and continued to fuss about Nathan’s presence in the company.
“Lucinda, you’ve been bringing Nathan here for days. You know he’s the president of the Payne Group, and our two companies are competitors, yet you still let him stay in your office! I seriously suspect that you’re leaking confidential information to him!”

This was a grave accusation that could have serious consequences.
The directors became serious in an instant, and the atmosphere in the room turned solemn.
Lucinda didn’t take their accusations seriously. In fact, she wanted to tell them that she not only left Nathan in her office but also allowed him to read all the company’s confidential documents.
However, revealing this would likely enrage these directors and could lead to a vote to remove her from the board.
Instead, she decided to play her trump card.
“Mr. Aguilar, I’m pregnant with twins.”
Hearing this, Crosby was stunned and didn’t understand what she meant.

Lucinda clarified, “The doctor confirmed that I’m carrying twins, and that’s why Nathan pays special attention to me. The reason he comes here is to take care of me. Do I need to report this to you in advance too?”
“You…”
Crosby’s face turned pale, and he couldn’t say a word.
The other directors quickly reacted and offered their congratulations to Lucinda.
“Congratulations, Miss Simmons! That’s wonderful news! Both you and Mr. Payne are truly blessed!”
“That’s right. You’re pregnant and still working so hard. It’s only natural for him to help you!”
“He really loves you. He’s willing to put aside so much work just to take care of you and the babies. It’s very enviable!”
“It sure is!”
Hearing his colleagues’ flattering words, Crosby’s face darkened, but he couldn’t find the right words to respond.
Nathan came to the Simmons Group every day to take care of his pregnant future wife. Who could say that he was wrong?
As for Lucinda leaking the confidential information of the company, it now seemed nothing but a ridiculous false accusation.
