Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 1157

Chapter 1157 Emmalyn Falls Ill 

The elation at the tech dome left Alex in a good mood. Upon leaving the office, he found Arthur still waiting by the door. 

“Mr. Jefferson, do you have any further instructions?” Arthur asked with a respectful bow. 

“Come with me to check out the chip we have successfully developed!” Alex said casually. 

Arthur nodded in agreement. When he raised his head and saw Alex’s face, he couldn’t help but be more certain about his earlier assumption.. 

Mr. Jefferson has a bright red lipstick mark on his cheek. It’s obvious that Liana has kissed him, as the shade of lipstick is unmistakably hers. Indeed, there’s no tay Mr. Jefferson can resist a sensual beauty like her. 

“Um. Mr. Jefferson, there’s something on your face,” Arthur commented in a probing tone. 

Upon hearing that, Alex suddenly remembered that Liana had stolen a kiss from him carlier. From the way Arthur was trying to hide his cheeky smile, Alex could guess that there was a red lipstick mark on his own face. 

Without overthinking it, Alex went to the bathroom and wiped off the lipstick mark on his face. 

Now that the misunderstanding had deepened, Alex felt that even if he explained that there was nothing going on between him and Liana, no one would believe him. Since I’m the chairman of the tech dome, I’ll just let the misunderstanding me. 

Meanwhile, at the Jefferson residence, the nanny, holding Emmalyn, hurriedly entered the living room. and anxiously spoke to Kate, who was reading a book. 

“Ms. Sutton, please come and take a look. It seems like Emma has a fever.” 

Even though Emmalyn was still sleeping in the nanny’s arms, her face appeared flushed and seemed somewhat abnormal. Her tiny eyebrows were also slightly furrowed as if she was in some kind of pain. 

Upon hearing the nanny’s words, Kate didn’t immediately check on Emmalyn’s condition. Instead, she put down the book in her hand in annoyance and forcefully pinched the nanny’s arm. 

The nanny, who was carrying Emmalyn, almost lost her grip and dropped the child due to the intense. pain from Kate’s pinch. 

“I spent a fortune just to have you take good care of Emmalyn, and now, she has a fever? How did this- happen? If you can’t even handle this, what use are you to me? You’re so useless that you’re better off dead!” Kate didn’t hold back as she cursed at the nanny. 

Upon hearing that, the nanny’s face showed a sense of grievance, but she didn’t dare to talk back to Kate. She waited until Kate was done scolding before she dared to continue, “Ms. Sutton, I have taken great care when it comes to Emma’s daily needs, and I have ensured that she doesn’t kick off her blanket at night. I wonder if it’s related to something you’ve eaten recently, Ms. Sutton? I’ve noticed that the milk I feed. Emma every day has a faint green color in it.” 

When Kate heard the nanny’s words, a strange expression descended upon her face. Over the last few days, she had been working hard on the Insect Codex and consumed many of the medicines written in the book. 

Even though the situation arose because of her, Kate had no intention of telling the truth. Instead, she
