NovelEnglishChapter 238 William's illegitimate Child
Emelie set down the phone and took a sip of her mocha. The bitter coffee clashed with the creamy sweetness,
creating a disjointed taste.
She swallowed the coffee and took a deep breath before saying sincerely, “Mrs. Middleton, my friend didn’t
intend to pry into that young lady's affairs.
“She was just being curious and wanted to gossip around. She hasn't been spreading any rumors. She's not the
type to be indiscreet.”
“If she offended you or the young lady in any way, | sincerely apologize on her behalf. Please don’t make things
difficult for her.”
Vanessa chuckled. “What are you saying, Emelie? | would never make things difficult for her. After all, she’s your
friend. It’s just that we really don’t want to publicize Xenia’s pregnancy right now..
Emebe caught on quickly. “Tunderstand | won't say a word about it
Vanessa's smile broadened. “Of course. You're so busy with your mother in the hospital and your father soon to
be released for recovery.
“Thear you're also starting a new job at the Swanson Corporation. With so much on your plate, you wouldn't
have the tto spread gossip.”
Emelle remained silent. She couldn't help but feel slightly unnerved by how well Vanessa knew her current

For the first time, Emelie saw beyond Vanessa's refined and gentle demeanor. She realized there was more to
her.
Vanessa glanced out the window. “The rain is getting heavier. | should be going. Emelie, you should head home
soon, too. If you get caught in the rain, make sure to drink sginger tea to avoid catching a cold.”
“Okay, Mrs. Middleton. Take care,” Emelie stood up to see her off, but Vanessa waved her back into her seat and
left on her own.
Emelle’s expression tightened into a frown. She immediately took out her phone to call Mona and check on her.
She only remembered that she broke her phone when she saw the cracks on the screen.
She tried to turn it on, but it wouldn't start. She couldn't tell if it was out of battery or if the fall had permanently
damaged the phone.
Worry and frustration gnawed at her, deepening her frown.
A few days ago, Mona had shared her findings with Emelie. The pregnant woman, whom Vanessa referred to as
“Xenia,” called Vanessa “Mom."\/
This meant Xenia was either Vanessa's daughter or her daughter-in-law. It was widely known that William was
the only son of the Middletons. If it was the latter, it meant that the woman must be his partner, and the child
she was carrying was his.
This would be explosive news. It was enough to shock the entire city. If it was the former, it was still quite
significant news.
Vanessa married into the Middletons. To demonstrate her genuine love for Henry and show that she wasn’t after
the family fortune or aiming to compete with William, she willingly underwent sterilization. She couldn't have
children anymore.
So, her daughter's origins were dubious at best. It could potentially beca scandal for the Middletons.
Emelie had considered many possibilities but had never intended to spread the information. Yet Vanessa had still
sought her out because ofil
This indicated that Xenia, or rather, the baby she was carrying, was extremely sensitive information
Vanessa had also implied that they wanted to wait until after the baby was born to make the news public.
Emelie wondered if this child was
