When Sandra returned to her own room after tucking in her daughter, Derek was still awake. He looked like he wanted to say something.

If you have something to say, just say it,” Sandra said, pulling back the covers to get into bed.

When Chloe was in college, I told you not to let her mess around abroad. She should have gone to a proper >usiness school so she’d understand how work works. Then she could help Ethan, and people wouldn’t call her a

rophy.”

Derek only had one daughter; eventually, the entire Bennett family business would be hers. He had intended to aise her to be an independent woman.

However, Sandra hadn’t allowed it.

What do you know?” Sandra looked like an old schemer. “I’ve been raising Chloe to be exactly the kind of laughter-in-law Miranda Hale wants. Miranda can’t stand a powerful daughter-in-law. Whether it’s work bility or temper, the girl can’t outshine her…”

After Mia finished messaging Evelyn, she felt that Evelyn’s tone was decent enough.

The matter seemed to have settled without affecting the deal between Marcus and Ethan. The weight in Mia’s heart finally lifted.

As night fell, a dull ache of bitterness spread through her, swallowing her whole.

Being transferred to the Logistics Department was nothing but beneficial for her. When someone in logistics esigned, it didn’t need to go through Ethan’s hands. And even if she couldn’t resign yet, she was far away from is watchful eyes.

Nina video-called her. After hearing Mia use the words “good news” to describe her demotion, Nina was silent

or a few seconds.

Are you sure this is good news?”

Mhm,” Mia replied. “Why wouldn’t it be?”

That scumbag Ethan framed you! Being sent to logistics is a stain on your career. How are you going to find a job

ater?”

What really angered Nina was that Mia felt she had to go this far just to get away from Ethan.

Mia took a deep breath. “I’ve suddenly realized that compared to being able to leave, a stain on my career doesn’t

matter.”

She had never imagined that making a clean break would be this difficult.

One problem after another had made her increasingly passive. She had become an eyesore for Chloe and Miranda and had been dragged into the corporate warfare between Jaxon and Ethan. Now, Evelyn had randomly appeared and found out about her pregnancy.

Was anything more important than leaving?

“Then when do you plan to resign?” Nina’s heart ached for her, and her tone softened considerably.

Mia thought about it. “The end of the month.”

There were ten days left until the end of the month.

The early spring breeze in Northbrook was strong. Buds were appearing on the trees, and the willow branches swayed in the wind.

By now, Mia was 14 weeks pregnant-three and a half months.

When she took off her clothes, her lower abdomen showed the slightest sign of a bump. Her measurements hadn’t increased further, but she still couldn’t fit into her clothes from last year.

The Logistics Department didn’t care about dress codes. She wore a simple base layer with a jumpsuit, which perfectly hid her belly and meant she didn’t have to wear heels.
