My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 79

After hanging up on Samuel, Seraphina sank deep into the plush sofa, her mind racing with possibilities.

Little Bean's soft voice echoed from her belly. "Mommy, are you going to go work at the company?"

Yes, Seraphina replied silently. It was Grandpa's final wish, and now, it's mine too.

Little Bean sounded worried. "But those mean people don't like you, Mommy. What if they try to bully you?"

A dark, confident smile touched Seraphina's lips. Then we'll just have to see if they're actually capable of it.

She grabbed her phone, quickly scrolled down to a specific contact, and hit dial.

The call was answered on the second ring, revealing a smooth, deeply professional female voice. "Seraphina? It's been far too long."

"Diane, I need your help," Seraphina said, cutting straight to the chase.

Diane Zeller was her late mother's closest friend. She was also one of the most ruthless, highly sought-after corporate attorneys in the city, specializing in brutal hostile takeovers and shareholder disputes.

Diane chuckled softly. "I heard you were expecting. I honestly thought you'd be hiding out and enjoying a peaceful pregnancy."

"Pregnancy doesn't mean I'm entirely out of commission," Seraphina replied calmly. "Samuel just called me. He wants me to surrender my shares."

She couldn't even stomach the thought of referring to a man like that as her father anymore.

Diane's tone instantly sharpened into something lethal. "You didn't agree, did you?"

Seraphina paused. "Of course not. But I do want to enter The Simmons Group."

The undeniable truth was that a massive chunk of the company's meteoric success was entirely thanks to her mother's blood, sweat, and tears.

Back in the day, her mother had been a powerhouse executive, managing the most critical departments with absolute ruthlessness and driving the company to unprecedented heights.

Tragically, after getting pregnant, she slowly stepped back from the corporate battlefield to focus entirely on her family.

Diane went quiet for a few seconds before exhaling a deeply emotional sigh. "You've finally made up your mind. Your mother poured her heart and soul into that empire, only to let Samuel and that mistress slowly bleed her dry of all her power until it broke her. Your grandfather left you those shares so that one day, you could rise up and be just as unstoppable as she once was."

Seraphina's knuckles turned white around her phone.

Her mother's tragic downfall was an agonizing, permanent scar on her soul.
