Chapter 783
Selena could finally stop pretending. As she wearily massaged her temples, Jude walked toward her.
"Why are you in a rush? You have all the time in the world to teach them a lesson." He came over to help her with the massage.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Pierre had always wanted to get rid of the leeches in Fowler Corporation while he was still alive. Now that he's gone, I have to take the chance to remove all the bugs so that the Fowler Corporation can be cleaned once and for all."
Selena's mind was filled with Pierre's words as she said those words. Yes, he didn't leave a will and I didn't get the chance to see him one last time, so I can only take the words he said before as his last wish, she thought.
"I heard everything you guys discussed earlier. Does it mean that the old man would sell you the shares just like that?"
Selena gave Jude a smile. "Of course not. That old man is as crafty as ever. I've already checked the accounts; when John was alive, this old man had grabbed every chance he could to benefit from them. He will sell the shares, but he will also add more conditions."
"So, what do you plan to do?"
"What do you mean by that? The moment he decided to stay on, that band of outsiders had already started having their doubts. He would never spill my words to those of the younger generation. He'll use whatever methods necessary to suppress me and wait until an internal conflict breaks out with them. Things would be much easier that way."
"I see. So, this is what you're after." Jude felt like she had learned something new.
"When that happens, they would rush to me and I don't even have to say anything for someone to suggest selling the shares to me. Then, I can lower the price for John's shares, but not too much. Even though they are leeches to the Fowler Corporation, they were still part of the Fowlers, so I won't be too brutal."
She nodded. "You're getting more cunning every day."
Selena bit her lip and smiled. "Thank you so much, Jude."
"Hey, aren't you tired of repeating the same words often? Remember, you're pregnant."
"Remember, you're also pregnant."
Jude was stunned for a bit before the two laughed aloud.
The next day, the two went to the hospital for a check-up. It was the first time she had heard the child's heartbeat; it was as fast as a foal's small hooves.
An excited Jude couldn't keep her voice down. She wished that Satan could be there to hear it, but alas, she couldn't return yet. She needed to wait for Selena to resolve everything before she could leave.
The two women sat on a hospital bench as each of them held an ultrasound report in hand.
"So, this is the little baby in my tummy? It's so small that it looks like an eggplant." Jude held the report in her hand and examined the image, but she couldn't make head or tail of it.
"The child is still tiny for now. It will slowly grow." Selena was calm since it wasn't her first time, after all. "Selena, what was it like for you when you were pregnant with the triplets?"
"It's the same but with three of them inside. This here is the gestational sac," she explained to Jude.
"The doctor said I'm slightly earlier
than you, so apparently I fell pregnant first." Jude looked at the ultrasound report while she felt
pleased. "Selena, we're actual ne
pregnant at the same time! Is this
fate?" .
"Of course! Do you even need to ask?" Selena gave Jude an affectionate hug.
"Then, if your child is a boy and mine a girl, I'll let her marry into your family. How does that sound?"
"If my child is a girl and yours a boy, then I'll marry her into your family instead.”
The two besties gazed at each other. "Yes! Then, we'll be in-laws! If they're both boys, they'll be best buddies. If they're both girls, they'll be besties like us!"
