The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 281

You can’t spend your whole life watching for thieves.

As soon as Reese parked outside the hospital, her phone started ringing. She glanced at the unknown number, frowned, and picked up.

“Who is this?”

“It’s me.”

Bailey’s voice slid through the line, smooth as ever. “You actually pulled off the Ramos Corporation mess by yourself. I guess you really are my and Olivia’s daughter.”

The way Bailey dropped her mom’s name, like they were still some happy family, made Reese’s stomach turn.

She was about to hang up, but Bailey kept going. “If you want your mother’s shares, you’ll need to give Sebastian another child. It’ll tighten the ties between the Ratcliffs and the Meyers.”

“Get pregnant, and I’ll transfer your mom’s shares to you right away. I’ll even throw in an extra five percent. You’d be the legal owner of Ramos Corporation and hold twenty percent of the Meyer family shares. Even the Ratcliffs would have to respect you then.”

Reese let out a cold laugh. “You think you can buy my uterus with company shares? Dream on, Bailey.”

She didn’t give him a chance to reply. She hung up and blocked the number without a second thought.

After locking her car, she headed into the hospital.

She didn’t expect to run into Sebastian. Jane sat there, eyes red from crying, while Robbie looked pale as a ghost. Reese lifted an eyebrow, a flash of sarcasm in her eyes.

What a perfect little family portrait.

“Reese, you’re finally here!” Jane’s eyes lit up, and she rushed over, reaching for Reese’s hand. “I knew you wouldn’t just leave Robbie like this—”

Reese sidestepped, her gaze settling on Robbie. “What did the doctor say? Does he need to be moved to a better hospital?”

Robbie shrank under her stare, mumbling, “No… I’m okay…”

Jane quickly tugged on Sebastian’s arm.

Sebastian cleared his throat and gave Reese that bossy look she knew too well. “We need to talk.”

They walked to the far end of the hallway. Sebastian leaned against the wall, hands in his pockets, eyes locked on her.
