The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 135

The elevator chimed and the doors slid open.

Aaron stepped out and took his place next to Catherine. “Belinda, Sarah, Lance needs to see Catherine right now.”

“That can wait. We’re taking her to the hospital,” Belinda said, barely listening to Sarah as she reached for Catherine’s other arm.

Aaron stepped in smoothly, blocking Belinda. He gently but firmly pried Sarah’s hand off Catherine’s wrist too.

“Lance wants to see her. I’ll take her up,” he said, planting himself in front of Catherine and giving her a quick, secret wave to get inside.

Catherine didn’t hesitate. She turned and slipped into the elevator.

“Move!” Belinda shouted, trying to press the button to stop the doors, but Aaron held her back.

The doors closed. The elevator glided upward, straight to the top floor.

Inside the tight, silent space, Catherine looked down at her slightly rounded belly. Her brow knit with worry. Any day now, someone would notice. She couldn’t hide it much longer.

...

Ten minutes earlier, in the CEO’s office.

Fiona banged her palm on the desk. “Can’t you see? Your mother and the Green family will never accept Catherine.”

“Is work all you ever think about? You’re engaged to Adelina. You can’t keep your ex-wife hanging around.”

Lance sat, unmoved, his face blank except for a slow, tense furrow between his brows as Fiona scolded him.

“Fine. If you insist on keeping her close, at least keep her safe. All this trouble she’s in? It started with you.” Fiona slapped the desk again, her frustration clear.

Sophia stepped up to gently pat the old woman’s back, nodding at Lance. “Grandma’s right.”
