Based on Karina's past actions, I didn't think she was a nice and gentle person. She could curse Neil with her own life and then sneak away without telling anyone. How could she possibly be sincere about healing her former competitor?
The next morning, I rushed to the hospital for a check-up, specifically a gynecological one.
I bumped into Stella, who came for a prenatal checkup.
"Rena, what are you checking? Are you pregnant too?" Stella asked in surprise.
"No, just some period issues." I denied.
"Alright, Neil's getting engaged tomorrow; are you going?" Stella asked again.
"Nope, no need to." I shook my head.
Mitch, next to us, let out a sigh. "Rena, Neil still likes you. Really, I just have a gut feeling…"
"Shut up!" Stella swung her arm to hit Mitch. She wanted me to keep my distance from Neil, and Mitch was actually persuading me.
Mitch reluctantly shut his mouth and even began worrying about Stella. "Don't get mad; I was just talking. Be careful with the baby. The doctor said to be extra careful for the first three months."
"Then stop meddling in other people's business!" Stella glared at Mitch.
"I won't anymore." Mitch nodded quickly.
Stella had finished her check-up, so I let them leave first. I continued to wait for my results.
When the results came out, there were no major issues. I was still having a hard time getting pregnant. But the situation didn't worsen, so I relaxed.
If Karina had given me more trouble, I would have fallen apart.
Then came the day of Neil and Bonnie's engagement. Bonnie seemed so eager to marry Neil that she didn't require any preparation and just invited a bunch of guests to a mansion in Rosemont for the engagement party.
Due to Neil's status and the backing of StarGlow Enterprises, almost everyone in Rosemont attended the engagement party. All employees of StarGlow Enterprises were given the day off, leaving only the security guards on duty.
"Daisy, off you go."
I let go of Daisy, pointing to the StarGlow Enterprises gate in the distance. Daisy got my drift and quickly led the guard away.
The guard was not very vigilant. To enter StarGlow Enterprises, one needed an entrance card, and to enter Gloria's office, an elevator card and office password were required.
Neil had given me all these, so I got on the elevator smoothly.
While I was busy, Neil and Bonnie were having their engagement party elsewhere. Time was still ample.
I opened the safe in Gloria's office and saw a folder, which might be what I was looking for. It was about the size of my palm.
I skimmed through it and was shocked by what I saw. The scale of money laundering Ethan Foster was involved in was enormous, and his assets, all gained through corruption, were huge.
All the information I needed was in this folder.
Suppressing my excitement, I took photos of the documents one by one and sent them directly to Neil. As for the originals, I took them with me.
