Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84

Didn’t we just see each other? He’s pretty quick to call.

Seeing Madeleine’s expression, Roderick immediately guessed

who was calling. He deliberately continued his pull–down

exercise.

“Answer it. Put it on speaker.”

“Oh.”

Madeleine did as she was told, answering and putting it on

speaker. She held the phone up in front of Roderick, and

Rebecca’s serious voice immediately came through.

“Where are you?”

“Home.”

“Come to the office. Something’s happened.”

Roderick paused, his gaze instantly turning sharp.

“What’s wrong?”

Chapter 84

Rebecca seemed to be driving; a couple of annoyed honks

came through the phone. She said irritably, “Ask your wife if

she’s the one who leaked the new product launch plan.”

She almost dropped the phone.

Madeleine’s eyes went wide. She looked at Roderick with an

expression of shock and innocence, which then turned to

indignation.

What did that have to do with her!

?

Roderick stood up, took the phone, and said in a low voice, “It

wasn’t her. Don’t jump to conclusions.”

“Tsk, I knew you’d be fiercely protective of one’s own. But

Roderick, this isn’t the first time this has happened. Having her

at the company is like planting a time bomb. She just started at the office on Friday, and today Edward’s team has already used

our plan ahead of us. Does that seem reasonable to you? I think

it’s just…”

“Enough!”

Roderick’s tone hardened. He looked up and met Madeleine’s

eyes, his voice serious.

“I believe it wasn’t her. Let’s meet at the office in half an hour

and talk.”

Not wanting Madeleine to hear anything more from Rebecca,

Roderick threw that line out and hung up.

“I’m going to the office. I’ll be back soon. Don’t work out while

I’m gone, you could get hurt.”

Madeleine nodded blankly, looking a little lost.

Roderick had already started to leave, but he couldn’t help

turning back to stroke her head.

“Don’t worry. You won’t be wrongly accused.”

Madeleine stood there in a daze for several minutes after

Roderick left.

Rebecca’s words were still ringing in her head.

She seemed to understand why Rebecca was so hostile

towards her.

She and the other secretaries in the office all thought

Madeleine had come to the company as a spy.

Chapter 84

Scheming and plotting every step of the way, all for that bastard

Edward.

Madeleine clenched her fists.

Damn it.

What the hell is with that Edward guy.

With that in mind, Madeleine decided to look up information

about Edward online. After all, you have to know your enemy to

win the battle.

Her impression of Edward was stuck back when he was just a

poor student.

“My phone… Ah, Ricki, you bastard, why’d you put my phone up

so high?”

Annoyed, she moved a stool over, and it took Madeleine a while

to finally free her phone from the power rack.

She typed “Edward” into the search bar, and the page

immediately filled with dense, related information.

She clicked on the top result, a Wikipedia page, and a formal

photo of him in a suit was the first thing she saw.

Chapter 84

The man in the photo had deep–set eyes, a sharp jawline, and

the faintest hint of a smile on his lips.

Madeleine stared at the familiar yet strange face, her fingers

tightening unconsciously.

[Edward, male, 27, current Chairman and CEO of the Carroll

Group.

Named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list in 2023, and

recognized as one of the Top Ten Outstanding Young

Entrepreneurs of the Year in 2024…]

She quickly scrolled down the screen, her eyes stopping on the

‘Early Life‘ section.

[Edward was born in a remote mountainous area. His parents
