Billionaires with Benefits

87 87. Evil Auntie

Surrogate mom?

Sarah could only gape out of guilt. She didn’t want to do evil things to her sister and her unborn nephew. But, she had no choice.

Linda continued her sentence, “Tell Clara that you are sorry and don’t want to ruin her happiness with Dave. Are you willing to cooperate?”

“Sure,” Sarah answered, nodding weakly.

Sarah had doubts. However, she convinced herself that this was the right thing to do. The best one at the moment. Lea didn’t want the baby, did she? Lea didn’t love Dave, did she? So, surely she would not mind if she had to hand over the child she was carrying to the baby’s father and his fiancée.

With that in mind, Sarah finally put her signature on the agreement paper in front of her. It wasn’t difficult for Sarah because she was used to doing it. Sometimes, Lea did ask Sarah to just forge her signature for administration because Lea was loaded with work.

“Thank you, Lea! I am very grateful to you,” said Linda who seemed to smile with great satisfaction. “I will have my men escort you home immediately. It was not safe to bring a lot of money by yourself. And more importantly, they were so heavy.” Linda chuckled lightly. She was glad, thinking that she accomplished her mission well.

“No!” Sarah replied with a pounding chest. “I want to take care of my mother’s hospital costs immediately.”

Sarah looked at Linda doubtfully and then explained again, “This money is so ... much, I’m not sure I’ll be able to keep it home. I don’t want to take the risk. If you understand what I mean.”

.....

Linda nodded in understanding. She then asked someone to help Sarah take care of her mother’s hospital fees according to the girl’s request.

That day, Sarah felt so relieved to know that her financial problems were solved ... her family’s financial problems were taken care of well. They would never live in poverty ever again. All of that was obtained by selling Lea’s child ... selling her nephew to Linda Decker.

There was a twinge of guilt that settled in Sarah’s heart. However, she tried to shake off the feeling. She believed that this was the best for her family as well as for Lea, the baby, and everyone involved in it.

“Don’t hate me, bunny! Your nasty aunt didn’t mean to sell you,” Sarah whispered to herself, “One day you will thank me because I saved you from the poverty that cursed upon your mother’s family.”

***

In Tokyo....

Paula was happy because that day her dad called and thanked her for everything she did for AJ Tokyo. Paula also told him about her and William’s current condition. Of course, he only responded with a sincere smile.

“I know you guys will end up together just like everybody wants,” commented Robert happily, teasing his daughter who couldn’t stop smiling when she talked about her husband.

“Dad, back then, you said you’re sorry you forced me to marry him,” Paula teased, replying to her father’s wise-cracking attitude.

“I regretted it before I met him in person. However, when I saw his sincerity in caring for you, and trying to get you back, I changed my mind,” Robert answered with a laugh.

Paula’s happiness was her father’s happiness too. No. Robert lives only to make his daughter happy. That was his only live motivation.

“As promised, since the problems in Tokyo have been resolved, you may return to New York immediately,” added Robert again.

“Why? You don’t like my performance here? I promise I’ll try to increase AJ Tokyo’s sales and profits soon,” Paula immediately begged.

“I don’t want the mother of my future grandchild to work too hard. After all, after everything that happened, it must be really hard to reach your goal, right?” asked Robert doubtfully. “No need to rush, you can do it another time, later.”

Paula smiled and held back something she didn’t want to tell her father. However, because she thought her father would understand her, Paula decided to tell him what happened to William.

“Dad, actually William has now been kicked out of his family business,” explained Paula. “So, I don’t need to rush to go back to New York. He will be here with me.”

“Wait, what do you mean by William being kicked out of the office?” asked Robert in surprise. “Alex fired him?” This was a strange thing. Alex only had one child. Why did he kick him out of the company? Had Alex changed his mind and planned to pass the company on to his adopted daughter?

Paula understood her father’s confusion. She then told him everything that had happened. Of course, Robert couldn’t take it lightly. He felt offended because Alex thought his daughter was no more valuable than the company. It was clear his daughter had to come first.

“Dad, never mind! You didn’t think William was your important son-in-law, didn’t you?” Paula tried to calm her father down.

“But this is different, Paula. Alex blatantly asked William to choose between you and the company. I wouldn’t do that to William,” said Robert angrily.

“Dad, I don’t think that was the case. Alex just wanted to discipline William his way,” Paula replied casually. “He still cannot entrust his business to William.”

“If I were him ...,” Robert recalled something, “Ah, maybe you’re right. William was quite different from Alex. When William was in school, he even had time to be a bad boy who often fought with delinquents. He and his cousin used to be a dangerous duo that the bad boys all over school feared.”

“Oh, seriously?” Paula asked almost in disbelief. “No wonder. I guess the muscles in his body must come with a reason.”

Paula then said goodbye to her father. She also asked her father not to mind what Alex did to William.

However, Robert was not satisfied. He still wanted to help his daughter and son-in-law in secret.

“In that case, I’ll just withdraw my investment since William has nothing to do with Alex anymore. Let him pay the price for considering my daughter worthless.”
