Chapter 86

“Kaylie, I’m telling you, Leland loves me. I’m carrying his child. He doesn’t love you at all! He only loves me!”

The shouting behind me drew the attention of the company employees, and I stopped. Caitlyn actually bumped into my back.

I turned around with a hint of disdain. “Really? Then go ahead and shout it out to everyone. Make sure the media gets wind of it too. That way, the whole world will know you’re Leland’s beloved woman. He won’t be able to break up with you, and your bond will only get stronger.”

Caitlyn was surprised. “I will, but you’d better not come crying to me when Leland divorces you for good. Plus, you’ve already signed that company transfer contract, and no one forced you.”

I looked at her coldly, then turned and walked to the conference room.

Everyone was waiting in the conference room. My calm demeanor and Caitlyn’s arrogant attitude formed a contrast.

Seeing Caitlyn’s crude behavior, I felt a strange sense of gratitude towards Leland. It was his upbringing since childhood that taught me a woman should be independent and strong, and I had achieved that.

He had said he didn’t need me to take on too much, just to be his little princess, so I hid all my strengths.

At that time, I really believed that he was protecting me from worries and complex social interactions. As a result, his purpose for doing so was to turn me into someone who followed his commands.

I didn’t even dare to claim the design drafts I drew that won awards as my own work, so Denise accepted those awards on my behalf in her own name.

I also used the money from the Leslie Group to fund the construction of several primary schools and buy three hospitals, acting as the secret boss behind the scenes.

All these were done to hide the fact that Allen used my money to establish the Zenith Group. Now, I just want to leave Leland and get away from here.

However, I didn’t expect the condition he proposed would be for me to get the Development Project in Mississippi.

I sat in the main seat and started the meeting.

Lately, Mr. Pearson has been unwell and requires my attention. So, while the ‘Fire Youth’ series is doing well, Caitlyn has been called back to serve as the deputy president of the company. I’m sure many of you have questions or comments, but please hold off for now. I’m confident that at our upcoming annual company meeting, Mr. Pearson will address everything and provide clear explanations to everyone.”

At this moment, Denise came running, out of breath, and when she saw me, her eyes were glistening with tears.

I patted the seat beside me, and she sat down next to me, holding the documents.

I remained calm. I wanted to tell everyone that although I was well cared for by Leland, I was not a good-for-nothing.
