Chapter 1150

Michelle lifted a brow slightly, her expression calm and indifferent. “What exactly are you trying to say?”
Madelyn stepped forward, her tone sharp and pressing. “Michelle, you don’t actually like Nathan at all, do you? Three years ago, Grandpa forced you into a marriage alliance with him. Three years later, Mr. Lynch Senior joined forces with Grandpa to pressure you into getting pregnant as soon as possible!
“Mr. Lynch Senior and Grandpa both promised you that as long as you got pregnant, they would permanently ban me from setting foot in the Landon family and stop me from ever touching the Landon Group. It’s under their pressure that you chose to get pregnant!
“But what I didn’t expect was how quickly you got pregnant. Michelle, what trick did you use to convince Nathan to have a child with you? You don’t like him at all. To you, Nathan—and even the child in your womb are nothing more than means to an end!”
She poured out every suspicion she had harbored, then instinctively glanced toward the doorway.
There was no sign of Nathan.
Madelyn’s heart tightened. She didn’t know whether Nathan had been listening, but she prayed he had.
Michelle let out a soft, mocking laugh. “Madelyn, it seems you’ve planted quite a few spies around me. As for your questions, I won’t answer a single one. You can die of curiosity if you want.”
Madelyn’s expression instantly changed. “Why, you
Michelle got up. “And one more thing-don’t come looking for me again. Otherwise, I’ll call Grandpa myself. You know exactly what the consequences will be.”
Madelyn’s hands clenched tightly by her sides. She knew better than anyone that Luis was Michelle’s strongest backing, and that backing existed for one reason only Nathan.
As long as Nathan no longer wanted Michelle, everything would collapse on its own.
With a dark expression, Madelyn forced out, “I’ll take my leave, then!”
With that, she turned and walked out.
The hallway outside was empty. There was no sign of Nathan at all.
Madelyn’s brows knit together tightly. Had Nathan really not been listening after all?
Frustrated, Madelyn stomped her foot and had no choice but to leave.
Michelle hadn’t wanted to see
at all. She gathered up h sketches, but still didn’et
any sign of Nathan.
Why wasn’t he here yet?
Su
Michelle took out her phone and dialed Nathan’s number.
The ringtone sounded once before the call was answered in an unburned manner Nathan stow magnetic voice came through the line.
“Hello.”
Michelle curved her lips slightly. “Mr. Lynch weren’t you coming
after work? Why havent you
arrived yet?”
Nathan replied calmly, “I’ve been here for a while.”
Michelle froze. “You’re here?”
Nathan said calmly, “Turn around.”
Michelle turned and saw Nathan walking toward her.
Her lashes trembled slightly. “When did you get here?”
He kept the phone to his ear, his gaze fixed on her as he answered coolly, “I came with Madelyn.”
Michelle was caught off guard.
Her expression changed instantly. “Then… You heard everything Madelyn and I said just now?”
Nathan lowered the phone, his legs carrying him closer step by step.
“You said quite a lot,” he said slowly. “Which part are you asking about?”
