Bride of Mr.Billion

Chapter 114

Herbert’s POV

On the way home, Connor reported to me, “Mr. Wharton, Gaynor just called. She said that this afternoon,

Miss Stepanek went to visit Lucas.” Thesitated and asked, “Did Bella say anything else?” “Gaynor said

that Miss Stepanek asked her about which orphanage Lucas was brought back from.” Connor replied.

I lowered my head and thought for a moment. Then, I instructed Connor, “Call Gaynor. If she sees Bella

next time, tell her that Lucas was brought back from the Angel Orphanage.” “Yes.” Connor nodded.

I continued to remind him. “You arrange everything and don’t make any mistakes.”

“Mr. Wharton, don’t worry. I’ll handle it well.” Connor nodded again.

Bella’s POV:

In the evening, I was leaning against the bed, thinking about how to find out which orphanage Lucas was

adopted from. My cell phone suddenly rang.

I looked down and saw that it was Joey, so I answered the phone.

Joey’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “Bella, I’m so unlucky today!”

“What happened?” I asked.

“I met the third party between you and the Boss!” Joey’s voice sounded angry.

“Did Caroline cause you trouble?” I immediately asked.

Joey continued to say angrily, “I went back to work today and was late for half an hour. Not only did | fail

to get the bonus this month, but I also had to write a review!”

“What do you mean? Did Caroline call to report you?” I continued to ask.

Joey continued, “She didn’t call to report. Caroline is now the ombudsman sent by the headquarters to

our company. She’s here to deal with work discipline. She just came to work this afternoon. Do you think

it’s a coincidence?”

I lowered my head and thought for a moment. Then I said, “The ombudsman sent by the headquarters to

the Wharton Group. Is this the post that Herbert assigned to her?”

“It’s said that the headquarters directly appointed her, and it has nothing to do with the Boss. By the way,

is the chairman of the headquarters the mother of Herbert? It seems that Caroline has been recognized

by his mother. Otherwise, how could she get into the Wharton Group directly? And she arranged a

position with a relatively large amount of authority for her.” Joey analyzed.

“It’s true that you’re late this time. Be more careful next time. Don’t make any mistakes in your work.

Don’t give her any room for trouble.” I comforted her.

“That’s all I can do. If Caroline deliberately wants to make trouble for me, I have no choice but to resign

in the end.” Joey sighed. “Do what you have to do first. It’s useless to think so much.” I said.

Since Caroline had already been acknowledged by the Wharton Family, it meant that her marriage

with Herbert was near.

I was a little disappointed. After all, I had to see the person I liked marry another woman. It was indeed a

sad thing.

But from a logical point of view, their marriage meant that there was no possibility for us to be together. In

the future, I would completely let go of this past relationship, and he would probably not continue to find

me.

This was great. My life would continue to be very good. “By the way, did you go to see Lucas today? Did

you get any information from the nanny?” Joey asked. “That nanny said she didn’t know.” I replied.

Joey was silent for a moment and then said, “Bella, you can’t be in a hurry. You can only find an

opportunity to inquire about it.”

“I know. But I’m very happy to see Lucas. He likes me very much.” I felt particularly happy when I thought

of him.

“You’ve transferred all your feelings for your own child to Lucas. You can like him, but don’t be too

extreme. It’s not good for you, do you understand? Joey warned.

“I know.” I smiled and hung up the phone

I looked at the flashing mobile phone screen Although I understood what Joey said was right, I still

couldn’t help missing Lucas I found that I couldn’t resist this kind of feeling at all.

After a week, I really missed Lucas, so I went to see himn in the afternoon

I didn’t expect to find something unexpected this time Gaynor seemed to tell me unintentionally that

Lucas was adopted from the Angel Orphanage .

Hearing this news, I was so excited that I did not falling asleep for the whole night. The next day,

immediately took leave and went to the Angel Orphanage.

When I arrived at Angel Orphanage, everything went smoothly. I saw the principal.

I explained my purpose to the principal. I once had a child who was missing. I wanted to check the

records of the adoption last winter.

The principal was a 50-year-old woman, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. She looked neat and

smart and she looked like a kind person

The principal agreed to my request and asked someone to bring me the record of the adoption of last

winter.

When the principal handed me the record book, my hands were trembling Could Lucas be my child?

“Miss Siepanek, all the documents are here. You can take a look. The principal said with a laugh

I lowered my head and began to read the records. There were only two babies adopted in total last

winter One was a baby boy, and the other was a baby girl. The baby boy was Lucas

11 was very clear in the record book that Lucas was abandoned at the gate of the orphanage. It clearly

recorded the time, place, and the person who found it. It turned out that it was Herbert who had adopted

him

Seeing this, I immediately ruled out the idea of Lucas being my son

gently closed the record book and felt very sad, because my child was indeed dead I didn’t know

17 18 that Lucas was really not my child! “Sorry, I can’t help you.” said the principal. I returned the record

book to the principal with both hands and tried to smile. “No, you‘ve helped me. Thank you!” “Goodbye.”

The principal took the record book and said.

“Goodbye.” I carried my bag and left the orphanage sadly.

I went back to the company in low spirits. As soon as I got out of the elevator, my cell phone rang.

I looked down and saw that it was from Joey. I was very excited last night and told her about my trip to

the orphanage today.

“How was it? Did you find out the result?” Joey’s excited voice came from the other end of the line as

soon as the call was connected. “Lucas is not my child.” I replied in disappointment. Joey, who was on

the other end of the phone, was silent for a while and said, “Although he’s not, you should also live a

good life. I believe you are strong enough.” “It’s just that I can’t bear to part with Lucas.” I felt a lump in

my throat as I spoke. The plump face of Lucas was still in my mind. “Bella, you have to let go of your

past feelings and that child. Do you know? Do you know that in the past few days, Caroline has played a

very important role in the company? That’s to say, she should have been acknowledged by every single

member of the family in the Wharton family. I’m guessing that her marriage with Herbert is inevitable. If

you continue to go to see Lucas, you’ll definitely have some sort of connection with Herbert. This won’t

do you any good at all!” Joey said.

“I see. Let’s talk after work.” I hung up the phone.

I took a deep breath and was about to continue walking inside. However, the next second, I saw a

woman in a tight skirt.

I was surprised. Why was she here?
