Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 343

"Mom, do you really think Dad will let that mistress replace you?" Anna asked softly. She wasn't entirely sure about the situation.

"I'm sure of it. I know him too well," Charlotte said helplessly, forcing a bitter smile.

"In a week, I'll go speak to Bianca and lay things out for her! If she decides to back off, then we might still have a chance," Julia said with a serious look, still hoping to fight for it.

"Go ahead, but you'll be disappointed," Charlotte replied with a sigh.

The three of them were dejected, each plagued by their own thoughts. They were all unsettled by the situation.

…

"Mm…" Lily murmured softly, letting out a comfortable moan inside one of the rooms in the villa. The massager was working on her acupoints, allowing her body to relax.

Morgan seemed to be even more at ease, slowly closing his eyes. It was as if the massager was an extension of his body, slowly wandering about Lily's body.

Hearing the sounds she made only excited him further, making him wish he could be one with Lily.

"Morgan, where did you buy this from? It's really effective!" Lily chuckled.

"I've spent a lot of time looking for this to make you feel more comfortable," Morgan said with a smirk, chuckling.

Meanwhile, his gaze was focused on Lily's back. From behind, he could clearly see her graceful figure. Even a single strand of her hair was able to excite him.

His hands would always trace over Lily's clothes, which caused his heart to race. He couldn't help but swallow hard as he eyed her shapely legs.

At that moment, Lily seemed to have sensed his gaze and felt a little uneasy. When she turned, she caught the look in Morgan's eyes.

"It's not what I think, right? Morgan must've just thought I was pretty and took a few extra glances. That's it! It has to be!" Lily nodded, trying hard to convince herself of that possibility.

Hayden and Christina returned to the company to prepare for the next project, only leaving the company at the end of the workday.

"You're really something today! Everyone in the company is in awe of you! They never expected you to pull off a victory against the Sterling Group's lawsuit! This has never happened before!" Christina said excitedly, looking at Hayden.

She was truly impressed by Hayden's tactic!

"It's nothing. That was just a simple use of public opinion against itself," Hayden replied casually.
