His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 302 - Ultrasound Result

The news did not die down even after a few days. In P country, the media waited outside the Shen Group building and Shen establishments to interview the employees.

As they could get nothing from Vincent's staff, they started ambushing the Lopez Clan. Even the mayor of Metro City was bombarded with questions regarding Vincent Shen's mistress's true identity.

The media was in chaos just the other week when the news exploded regarding Eva Lan being apprehended in Australia because she committed a crime against a big shot. Everyone has a mixed feeling when they learn it is Vincent's mistress, Hailee Hillson.

At first, Eva and Zenaida's friends started a hype, accusing Hailey of stealing someone's husband. But when the news came out that Eva was associated with a terrorist who bombed a hotel in Las Vegas and threatened Metro City as well, those posts suddenly disappeared, and Eva's friends hid somewhere.

The Lan family was sentenced to life imprisonment because of the attempt to murder Vincent Shen, associated with Liam Huo.

So the media is curious about the couple's status, now that Eva Lan, once Mrs. Shen, was behind bars and her family because of the crime they committed.

The media began guessing that there would be a wedding soon based on Hailee Davies's posts on her Instagram captioning "HUBBY".

Everyone's presumption was answered when Vincent posted on his Instagram. It was a photo of his hands intertwining Hailee's, wearing an antique jade ring and bracelet with a caption, "Mrs. Shen, I love you…."

Several media platforms reposted the photo a hundred times, and one comment caught everyone's interest.

"OMG! That ring and bracelet is an heirloom of the Shen family; they gave it to their daughter-in-law who bore a Shen heir."

Everyone is waiting for confirmation that Hailee is pregnant. But no answer.

Until now, the two families remained silent, and none released any information. After they learned that the entire Shen family was in Australia, they were guessing that a wedding would be soon to happen since a possibility that Hailee Davies was pregnant.

One morning in Australia, the Shen and Davies family were back in Dream City.

Today is Hailee's prenatal. While they wait for the couple to come out from the OB-Gyn's clinic, Sheena, Deana, and Hilda anxiously sit in the lounge with Fred and Jacob.

The two fathers came home after the closed-door meetings with the council twice. Shun finally gathers evidence to prove that Duke Alessandro is not the sole elder involved in the assassination. There were other elders, and all were locked up in Italy.

With the new Council of Elders, Shun makes sure that the newly appointed Elders are loyal and trusted men.

Jacob and Fred accept the role of an Elder. They were given the task to travel to every part of the world to meet every lord in a country and evaluate if they were fit for the title. Whoever caught that did not follow the law Shun implemented years ago would receive a punishment.

So then, the two fathers had to entrust everything to their children entirely.

Jacob appoints Geoffrey as the new CEO of Davies Group, while Hailee is the Chairwoman of Davies Corporation. With this new appointment, Jacob assigned Vincent as the new CEO of Davies Corporation to help Hailee manage it.

Vincent doesn't want to accept this... Davies Corporation is a hundred times bigger than Shen Group or fifty times bigger than Lopez Corporation. It was a significant role, and he was worried that everyone would raise an eyebrow for the promotion he received.

He was just the contractor yesterday, but tomorrow he is now the new CEO of Davies Corporation. His role skyrocketed in a blink of an eye.

"Then who should I appoint instead? The other man I have in mind that fits the job is Bryan... I think my daughter has no problem working side by side with him once again since she didn't accept his resignation."

Vincent has rendered speechless. His father-in-law learned an effective trick on how to make him say yes.

The Davies Corporation headquarters is in Sydney. If Hailee is often in Sydney and left in Dream City, how many days he only has to be with his wife and children?

There are only eight days of Saturday and Sunday in one month. Is that only the days he could spend with his family? Not to mention that Hailee would always be out of the country to take care of their multinational investments and her very own companies.

So, in the end, Vincent agrees.

Jacob had a huge smile after his threats worked. He sees Vincent as a jealous man. It's easy to use his weakness against him. And so Jacob won.

Vincent would grab the opportunity that he could guard his wife. He is always overworked to set a border around Hailee away from her knights, so Jacob learned the trick.

But he absolutely trusted Vincent. He knew he would be a great help to his daughter. Besides, no one would inherit his wealth but his grandchildren. He believes in Vincent. He will become not just a good husband and father but also a great teacher to his children.

"Thank you, dad," Vincent told his father-in-law. He was overwhelmed and left speechless for the tasks entrusted to him. Managing a worth of trillion euros corporation is not something for him to slack off. He would actually be even busier than before.

But these changes would not be in effect yet. Hailee was still in a sensitive pregnancy, so Jacob would train Vincent about how Davies Corporation operated in the entire world.

And as for Shen, Deana and Sheena have to move back to P Country to help manage the Shen Group. Fred will train his daughters to run their company.

Since Vincent would manage a giant corporation, Sheena has to help her brother run his yacht business and look for his buildings, apartments, and restaurants.

But Sheena has nothing to worry about. Vincent gives Stephen a three-story building to move his restaurant to P Country. Sheena is too happy for her brother's generosity.

Hilda also wanted her daughters to live in the mansion so that she could watch her grandchildren. The girls were too happy at what their mom had said. Of course, the mansion is too huge just for Hilda and Fred.

Sheena and Deana giggled in secret. Their mom is just making excuses. Their dad would often be out of the country with his new role in the world, so their mom knew she would be often left alone as their dad's task was dangerous.

But they were happy that they would be a big happy family from here on…

"These journalists and paparazzi would literally be shocked after they would learn that brother is the new CEO of Davies Corporation," Sheena commented after she read a bunch of articles about her brothers, most of which are only slandering him.

"Stop reading those unworthy articles." Hilda had received a lot of reports regarding these articles.

The Shen PR Department asked her to hold a press conference, but she rejected the idea. "Let these scoundrels die in anticipation. We have more important things to take care of than to give them what they want."

Aside from interview invitations from the TV station news program, there are also live interviews from many talk shows, but Hilda rejected all.

"What are you planning, mom?" Deana asked Hilda. She was aware of how chaotic everything was back in Metro City.

Everyone is dying to know about Hailee and Vincent's plan now that he is divorced from Eva.

"I will hold a press conference when we get home in P Country. But we have not announced our arrival. And we have to plan it out well," Hilda explained.

"You are right, mom." Sheena and Dean concurred.

Those journalists and paparazzi would love to get a piece of them once they got a sight of them.

Meanwhile, inside the OB-Gyn's clinic, Hailee was lying down at the examination table, and Dr. Dave Thomas was currently performing an ultrasound. Vincent was observing closely to the monitor and listening keenly to everything that Dr. Thomas had said.

After half an hour, the couple finally came out of the clinic.

"How is it going?" Hilda has been on the edge of her seat, waiting for the result. Now she was very excited to know what the ultrasound showed.

Vincent and Hailee shared a look before one of them shared the result.

"Mom, I'll be a dad of three…."

"Oh, my gosh!" Sheena and Deana have been jumping in happiness. "Congratulations, brother!"

They hugged their brother, then they turned to Hailee, "Congratulations, Hail! You're a mom of three!"

Hailee's eyes were also flooded with fresh tears. She was already sobbing inside the ultrasound room after she saw her babies on the monitor.

But it was Vincent who cried first. His heart filled with joy at seeing three healthy babies growing inside Hailee's womb.

On the other hand, Hilda was also delighted by the news, at the same time worried. She knew Hailee would not be an easy journey to have three babies growing inside her.

"Be extra careful from now on," Hilda advised Hailee.

"I will, mom. Thank you." Hailee replied to Hilda, and the two women had a warm hug afterward.

Jacob and Fred were also delighted to hear the splendid news.

"Congratulations, son!" Fred embraced Vincent tight. Seeing his son happy also brought great joy to him.

Meanwhile, Jacob is the happiest grandfather. It was his first grandchild, and he was given three right away.

"Princess, congratulations. I know you will be a great mom."

"Thank you, dad." Hailee hugged her dad so tight. She wished her mom were here, which she believed was watching over her. "Mom surely was proud of me."

"She is, princess. I know your mom is also thrilled for you." Jacob comforted his daughter.

That night, the two families had a nice dinner on the rooftop to celebrate the addition to the family.

The future princes or princesses…
