Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 895

Claire stared at her in deafening silence, her expression filled with profound disappointment.

After Elaine had left the company, Claire had been incredibly kind to Nicole. She had mentored her, sharing her personal design philosophies and techniques without holding anything back. It was a shame Nicole possessed zero sense of gratitude.

The fact that she had actively stolen her mentor's work was a chilling betrayal.

"Sienna, I'll leave this to you. I don't want to deal with this anymore," Claire said softly.

"Understood."

Sienna cast a cold look at Nicole. "Pack your desk and leave. LUMEN Studio operates on one core principle: loyalty. You've shattered that completely. There is no place for you here. From this moment on, you are permanently severed from this company."

"Sienna, please, just give me one more chance! Elaine manipulated me!"

"I'm not interested in your excuses. Security! Escort her out of the building and make sure she never steps foot on this property again." Sienna waved the guards over without a shred of hesitation.

If they were willing to fire their Chief Designer over ethical breaches, an intern like Nicole meant absolutely nothing. Sienna was not about to harbor a thief.

Meanwhile, at the hospital.

"Miss, the results are in. You are three months pregnant."

"What did you just say? I'm pregnant?" Michelle Turner stared at the doctor in utter shock.

She hadn't been paying attention to her missed cycles lately. She had only come to the clinic today because of some mild stomach cramps, and now she was being told she was carrying a child.

"Yes. The baby is currently very healthy."

A sudden, overwhelming wave of joy washed over Michelle. She was going to be a mother!

And this was Tyler Smith's baby.

Maybe, just maybe, having his child would finally make Tyler look at her with some genuine affection.

Elated, Michelle rushed back to the Black Meridian Syndicate headquarters. Tyler was in the middle of a meeting with his subordinates. She waited impatiently until he was free before stepping into his office.

"Tyler."

"Where have you been? I haven't seen you all morning," Tyler asked, his tone laced with genuine concern.

She had walked in brimming with hope, expecting him to share her joy, only for him to demand an abortion.

"How... how could you say that? This is your own flesh and blood! And you want to kill it? Are you really that desperate to avoid taking responsibility for me?"

"That's not it, Michelle. Keeping this child is a terrible idea for your future. I'm saying this for your own good."

Michelle let out a broken, tragic laugh. "For my own good? I think you're just looking out for yourself. Are you still obsessing over Elena? You're in love with her, aren't you? She's the only one you actually care about. Even if I give birth to your child, you'll never love it. If Elena were the one pregnant, you'd probably be out of your mind with joy!"

Tyler lowered his gaze, saying nothing.

If it were Elena...

No. He couldn't even let himself entertain the thought.

He knew perfectly well that to the Boss, he was nothing more than a younger brother. Anything beyond that was a pure, unattainable fantasy.

"You're not saying anything. So I'm right. Tyler, I never realized you were such a cowardly, irresponsible man. You don't even want your own baby. What do you think I am? I didn't throw myself at you that night! You came into my room completely wasted and treated me like I was Elena. How could you do this to me?" Michelle cried, tears streaming down her face.
