Goodbye, Ex-husband! I’m Pregnant with Your Uncle’s Child!

Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Encounter

In the conference room.

Julia Land politely said, "Mr. Grant, this document outlines the proposed acquisition price, payment methods, and employee benefits offered by the Moore Group. Please take a look, and if there are any issues, we can discuss them further."

Assistant Scott distributed the documents to Kyle Grant’s team.

In addition to his company’s team, Kyle Grant also brought along the company’s legal consultants.

Both parties entered into negotiations over any unreasonable terms.

The acquisition terms provided by the Moore Group were quite fair, and the proceedings went smoothly.

Once they finalized the negotiation results, they would need to print the formal acquisition agreement that afternoon.

At noon.

Julia Land took Kyle Grant and his team to the Moore Group’s restaurant for lunch.

Mr. Grant noticed the ring on Julia Land’s ring finger and felt a twinge of regret, surprised that Young Master Moore had so young passed away.

Shi Yu didn’t know who had let him into the company.

He barged into the canteen and made a beeline for Julia Land, but Assistant Scott calmly blocked his path.

"Julia Land, did you cause..."

Somehow, Assistant Scott managed to precisely stuff a drumstick into Shi Yu’s mouth.

Julia Land was eating a drumstick herself and suddenly paused.

It didn’t taste good anymore.

She put down the drumstick but still gave Assistant Scott an appreciative look.

Turning to Kyle Grant with a smile, Julia Land said, "Mr. Grant, my apologies, but I have some personal matters to take care of. Please continue your meal at your leisure."

Kyle Grant nodded, "Okay."

Assistant Scott twisted Shi Yu’s arm behind his back and led him away.

Whenever Shi Yu was about to open the door and start swearing, Assistant Scott would unceremoniously twist his arm harder.

Shi Yu yelped in pain.

Julia Land wiped her red lips, stood up, and walked away on her high heels, gracefully pulling out her chair.

*

In the Chairman’s office.

Julia Land sat in her chair, lazily lifted her eyelids, and leisurely sipped her coffee, "Go ahead and yell."

Assistant Scott nudged Shi Yu’s shoulder, signaling him that he could start yelling.

Suddenly, Shi Yu had a moment of clarity; he rubbed his arm, suddenly realizing that coming here today had been like walking into a trap.

This was Julia Land’s domain.

Frowning, Julia Land thought it was a waste of time to be dealing with this here when she could be working, "Well, if you’re not going to speak, then you can leave."

Shi Yu broke out in a sweat, "Sorry, I was drunk."

And with that, he turned and left.

He had come to confront her, furious after learning that Julia Land had inherited 20% of the Moore Group shares.

For a long time,

Christopher Moore seldom visited the Moore Group.

And since Mr. and Mrs. Moore had only one child, Christopher,

Greedy relatives from both the Moore and Mrs. Moore’s side were eyeing the Moore Group.

His mother once said that Christopher was a lunatic, that a lunatic could never manage a company.

And since he was a relative on Mrs. Moore’s side, if he performed well, he might have a chance to lay claim.

But he never expected an interloper to throw a wrench in the works.

Julia Land, shortly after taking office, had fired him.

Thinking of this, Shi Yu glared venomously at Julia Land and then stormed out.

Assistant Scott followed Shi Yu out of the office with an unchanged expression on his face.

He needed to deal with the security breach.

How could someone who was no longer an employee just walk in?

That was a serious oversight.

That afternoon, Julia Land continued with the official agreement with Kyle Grant and his team; they signed the document, and once that business was out of the way, she relaxed.

She didn’t need to be involved in the following steps.

Tonight, she was planning to take her daughter out to dinner, and when work ended, Julia Land went straight to the restaurant they had booked.

Although she and James Thompson couldn’t openly display their affection outside, the three of them could enjoy a meal together in a private dining room.

*

In the private dining room, the family of three enjoyed a casual meal.

James Thompson originally wanted to feed their daughter, but Julia Land pinched his thigh, "Dale is already four years old, she can eat by herself."

He laughed, picked up some vegetables, and started feeding the child’s mother instead, "Little Julia, ah."

Dale Land took a bite of her rice, her round eyes curiously watching her mom and dad.

Julia Land kept a cool expression on her face, but underneath the table, her legs entwined and pressed against the man’s.

James Thompson immediately behaved himself.

Eat well, everyone to their own meals.

"Mommy, Dale wants to go to the bathroom." Dale Land obediently puckered his little mouth, wiping his lips with a napkin by himself.

He wanted to jump off the chair, but it was too high, so he could only blink and look up at daddy.

"Daddy, hug."

James Thompson picked him up.

"Thank you, daddy."

His daughter was so polite.

James Thompson smiled.

Julia Land was about to take Dale Land to the bathroom when she suddenly received a call.

James Thompson, "I’ll take Dale."

He just needed to wait outside the women’s restroom.

Julia Land nodded and answered the call.

James Thompson stood outside the restroom waiting for Dale Land to come out.

After using the restroom and washing his small hands, Dale Land was too short to reach the paper towels.

Madame Bell came out of the restroom to wash her hands and saw a little girl standing on tiptoes, stretching her short arms to reach the paper towels.

Such a cute little girl.

Madame Bell pulled out a sheet for Dale Land.

Dale Land’s eyes curved into a smile, "Thank you, aunty."

Madame Bell, called aunty by a little girl, smiled gently, "You should call me grandma."

"Thank you, grandma."

Today Dale Land was wearing a little princess dress, with a bun, looking up with puppy dog eyes that charmed Madame Bell.

Madame Bell smiled.

The little girl was as cute as Eleanor.

Dale Land wiped his hands and ran out of the restroom.

Soon after, Madame Bell walked out of the restroom and happened to see that little girl holding the hand of a man walking ahead.

The man’s silhouette was familiar. Madame Bell took a closer look and realized it was James Thompson.

She curiously muttered to herself, not knowing whose child the little girl was, to have James Thompson accompany her to the restroom.

The Bell family was also dining out tonight with Chloe Sullivan and the twins.

One reason was to celebrate Madame Bell’s discharge from the hospital, and the second was because Chloe Sullivan had come back from Dunmore City with red eyes the night before. Seeing Chloe Sullivan so sad, Madame Bell suggested to dine out together tonight.

Madame Bell returned to the private room.

The twins were listening to Connor Bell tell a story.

"I just ran into James Thompson, he was with a little girl," Madame Bell glanced at the twins and asked Chloe Sullivan in a low voice, "How long has it been since the children saw James Thompson?"

Chloe Sullivan smiled bitterly and shook her head, "According to the second Mrs. Thompson, James Thompson hasn’t returned to the Thompson Family for years. Last year, Uncle Thompson took the kids to talk to him, and that was the only time they saw each other."

Madame Bell frowned.

James Thompson was truly heartless.

After finishing their meal, they prepared to leave the restaurant.

Who knew they’d have such fate tonight, as Madame Bell again saw that little girl.

But this time, the little girl was being held by Julia Land.

Madame Bell noticed, and so did Chloe Sullivan.

Chloe Sullivan looked shocked at the sight of the little girl in Julia Land’s arms. She...

"Mommy, Dale is so sleepy."

"If you’re sleepy, just lean on mommy’s shoulder and sleep."

After Julia Land said this, as the car approached, she carried the child down the stairs. The car door opened, and the mother and daughter got into the car.

She had just asked James Thompson to leave first to avoid attracting attention.

Chloe Sullivan heard the little girl calling Julia Land mommy.

She bit her lip.

She thought of five years ago.

Five years ago, when Julia Land was abducted by Christopher Moore, she had been pregnant for almost three months.

The little girl she had just seen looked about four years old.

Chloe Sullivan was both shocked and angry; she hadn’t expected that little bastard to still be alive.

Tough life.

"So, that little girl is Julia Land’s child, strange though, James Thompson was just taking that little girl to the restroom," Madame Bell said confusedly, "Since when did the Thompson Family and the Moore Family start getting along again?"

Chloe Sullivan gripped her handbag, her eyes flickering, smiling, "Who would have thought Julia Land and Young Master Moore already had a child, the Moore Family’s confidentiality is really tight."

Madame Bell nodded, "The Moore Family is very secretive."

But these were other people’s affairs, and Madame Bell didn’t have a penchant for gossip.
