Victor’s gloomy face pinched in irritation.

“What did she say?” he asked coldly.
“She also said that she is the mother of the Sullivan Group’s successor. She told me that if she so wanted, she could have me thrown out the Sue Garden, and ensure that I would never be able to find a job or even a place to stay in Apliaria again.” The maid turned to Rachel and pathetically kowtowed to her.
“Miss Bennet,” she started in a trembling voice, “please forgive me! I know I was wrong.
‘s
I promise I won’t interfere again. Forgive me, please…”
Victor’s expression had been getting angrier and angrier the longer the maid had been speaking. By now he was gritting his jaw so tightly that the veins in his neck and forehead were bulging. His dark eyes were glinting with malice, and he barely seemed to be holding onto his temper.
“The mother of the Sullivan Group’s future successor?” Slowly, he turned his head and sneered at Rachel.
The maid immediately stopped crying once Victor was no longer looking at her. A sly smile curled the corners of her Lips.
Lukas could see that the situation was rapidly becoming sour. He couldn’t let Victor lose his temper with Rachel because of some story the maid had spun. Rachel was pregnant with Victor’s child after all.
Lukas felt he had to speak in her defense.
“Mr. Sullivan, there has been a great misunderstanding. Miss Bennet was just-” Before he could finish his sentence, Victor strode forward and grabbed Rachel by the chin.
Rachel did nothing but frown in pain. She stayed quiet, not even bothering to try and explain what had really happened. She knew Victor wouldn’t have believed her anyway.

“So, you not only want to be the hostess of the Sullivan Group again, but you also want the entire group for yourself. You truly are ambitious! I was right about you from the very start, Rachel. You are such a greedy woman! Who said that baby would become the successor of the Sullivan Group? The mother of the Sullivan Group’s successor? Of its future? No, you’re not.”
Victor jerked away from Rachel like she was carrying some type of disease.
Rachel took a few steps back, trying to put some distance between herself and him. She shook her head to relieve the pain in her chin from where Victor had been holding her.
“From now on,” Victor said coldly, “Rachel is a servant of the Sue Garden. Her duties are now those of her fellow servants.”
Lukas was horrified. He nearly stumbled over his words as he said,
“Mr. Sullivan, please consider this carefully. Miss Bennet is pregnant. If she works like a servant, she is going to exhaust herself. What if something happens-“
“If something happens, I will tell the doctor to prioritize the baby,”
Victor said coldly, staring straight at Rachel’s pale face as he said this.
That night, Rachel was moved out the guest bedroom and into the storage room where she used to Live.
As she stood in the middle of the room, taking in the familiar sights, sounds and smells, a bitter smile curled over her lips. She sighed softly and whispered to her belly, “I’m sorry, little one.
You’re having to go through so much because of me.”
A knock at the door silenced any further words she might have had.
“Miss Bennet,” Lukas called from the door.
