Maria stared into her eyes, hesitating for a moment.

“I heard that Rachel might be pregnant with Victor’s baby.”
All of a sudden, Alicia sprang to her feet and raised her voice.
“That’s impossible!”
“That’s what I think as well. Everyone knows that Victor loathes Rachel. He only married her because his grandmother asked him to do so. During their two years of marriage, they never had a child. How could he get Rachel pregnant now that they’re divorced?” Gently,
Maria continued, “Alicia, I’m sure it’s just a silly rumor. You don’t have to take it to heart. I just thought you might’ve heard about it, so I wanted to confirm its legitimacy. I was just being curious.

Don’t go asking Victor about it!”
“Why can’t I ask him?”
“Silly girl, if the rumors are false and you ask Victor about it, he’ll definitely be furious, and it’s almost certain that he’ll throw his anger at you! I’m sure you know that he hates it when others pry into his personal affairs,” Maria explained.
“Anyway, just don’t think too much about it, okay?”
Alicia bit her lip, and remained silent.
After that conversation, they proceeded to talk about another topic.
However, Alicia seemed absent-minded throughout their conversation.
Once they were finished with lunch, Alicia left in a hurry.
The housekeeper escorted Alicia to the gate and watched until she had left. When the housekeeper returned to the house, she asked Maria,
“Mrs. Sullivan, you invited Miss Schultz here because you wanted her to know that Rachel might be pregnant with Mr. Sullivan’s child, so why did you stop her from asking him about it? What if she manages to get an answer out of him?”
“You think so?” Maria replied as she fiddled with her pearl necklace.
She was no longer as gentle as she was with Alicia.
“Do you think that even if Rachel is truly pregnant, Victor will tell Alicia the truth? If Alicia were to ask him directly, that man would suspect that I’m the one who put her up to it. As long as Odin is still abroad, I’ll have to endure this bastard’s antics and be careful with my every move.”
The housekeeper lowered her head in silence.
Every time Maria remembered how her own son was abroad, handling the overseas operations of the Sullivan Group, while Victor, an illegitimate child, was the CEO of the company, she would get furious.
However, she must remain calm.
She was able to marry into the Sullivan family, because she was different from all the other ladies from rich and powerful families.
Most of them were narrow-minded, greedy, and easy to read. But not Maria. She was smarter and more cunning. All she needed to do now was to wait for an opportunity to find out Victor’s weakness. ‘But waiting doesn’t mean I’m going to tolerate the birth of another little bastard! I’ll do anything to get rid of anyone that prevents my son from taking back the Sullivan Group!’
As silence pervaded the room, Maria sighed and closed her eyes, stilling her emotions. When she opened her eyes again, the malice in them had vanished; it was as though it had never appeared.
