Chapter 288
Rita, standing nearby was beaming with excitement. She cheered for Callum “Congratulations, Mr
Callum, we’re going to have a little duke in our castle soon, this is such fantastic news!”
Callum was over the moon. He had only been speculating before, but now Lexi’s pregnancy had
become a reality, and he was thrilled beyond words
“Rita, everyone gets triple their salary this month Callum, struggling to suppress his rising joy, ordered
Rita to give everyone a range
“Yes, boss” Rita left cheerfully to share the good news with everyone
Soon only Lexi and Callum were left in the room
“Sweetie, you’re amazing you must have the baby Callum said without any doubt his heart filled with
excitement. “Ha finally I’m going to have my own child. My son won’t be infenor to Magnus son!”
Lex was still in shock from her unexpected pregnancy She hesitantly touched her fat belly finding if
hard to believe that a tiny life was growing inside
Hearing Callums words, Lex’s heart sank From the beginning, she was just a substitute for Natalia
even this unexpected child would be compared to Natalia’s son in the future
Wasn’t this just sad” Lex looked out the window with a desolate look in her eyes. This place was
nothing more than a gilded cage that held her captive. When could she truly leave and escape this
beautiful prison
Meanwhile in Melfort, the relationship between Magnus and Natalia was growing stronger each day
Magnus was out early and back late every day while Natalia spent her time working on her design
sketches Her exceptional design talent had earned her accolades from all over the country Invitations
were flying into Andersen Corporation like snowflakes
In his spare time Magnus was eager to fulfill his promise to Jonas and get Natalia pregnant with their
second child as soon as possible
Sometimes he would attend meetings and socialize to avoid Natalia’s constant complaints about him
neglecting his duties as a CEO and pestering her all the time The new assistant was a girl with glasses,
named something like Kitty or Poppy She was timid and cautious but made particularly fragrant tea
Gradually. Magnus found himself liking the tra feeling incomplete without a cup each day
One day as soon as he got to the office, he couldn’t wait to drink the tea that the assistant had brewed
But after drinking, he felt that something was off
“What’s wrong with today’s tea? It’s tasteless Magnus frowned, looking at Molly, who had just delivered
the tea
Molly was startled she didn’t expect Magnus taste buds to be so sharp She had just run out of the tea
bags Belle had given her a while ago and had used ordinary tea bagi Yet Magnus had instantly noticed
the difference
“Mr Andersen, I go make you another cup. Molly said timidly, quickly taking the tea cup and leaving
Magnus nodded “Be attentive, the previous tea was very fragrant and refreshing. Keep it up”
“Yes yes I’ll keep it up!” Molly left the CEO’s office nervously and headed to the sales department. She
had to ask Belle for some more tea bags for the sake of her future
When she arrived at the sales department, she saw Belle sitting leisurely at her computer sipping her
tea. Molly walked up to Belle cheerfully “Belle”
Belle turned around at the sound of her name She saw Moily standing in front of her and gave her a
friendly smile “What’s up, darling?”
Seeing the people in the sales department turning their heads. Molly pulled Belle’s arm and walked
towards the pantry “Belle I have something to ask you
in the pantry, Molly explained her request somewhat bashfully, “Belle, can i buy some more of the tea
you gave me last time? The boss said he really likes it‘
Belle is wered her head riding her smug smile, then looked up, feigning confusion “Tea? What tea?
Darling, are you still dreaming?
Molly was stunned “Belle it’s the special tea you said was from your hometown You gave it to me to
brew it for the boss Have you forgotten?
Thinking that Belle didn’t want to give it to her for free she sincerely said, “Belle, i took your tea last
time, I’m sorry i pay for it this time, can you help me get some
Belle casually played with her nails, looking utterly confused “Molly, what are you talking about? I never
gave you any tea. You’ve dragged me here to say a bunch of nonsense what are you trying to do?”
Mally was dumbfounded, she could never have imagined that Belle would deny knowing about this
“Belle how could you do this? You clearly said last time that the boss loves the tea from your
hometown, so i brewed it for him. Now that i want to buy some mom, why análi you pretending it never
happened?”

“Molly, you gotta be careful of what you say Who knows what kind of tea you gave to the boss? If
something goes wrong it’ll be blamed on me, and that’s ter said walking out of the pantry “Don’t come
to me with these nonsensical things anymore I’m busy and don’t have time to chat with you”
A cold sweat broke out on Molly’s back res she had used the tea Belle gave her without thinking What
if Belle had maliciously added something to the tea would she derly it now and totally disregard what
happened before?
The more Molly thought about it, the more scared she became She didn’t know what to do, so she
quickly asked Paul for leaw and left the company
Back in the office, Magnus was becoming increasingly restless, as it a fire was burning in his chest,
making him want to lash out. He paced restlessly around the office. desperately craving a pot of the tea
Molly brewed But even after waiting for a long time. there was still no sign of Molly
This assistant was simply irresponsible How could it have taken so long to brew a pot of tea?
After pacing back and forth in his office for what seemed like the tenth time. Magnus pressed the
intercom button for his secretary to my office
I’m sorry sir but Molly said she’s not feeling well. She
esk. “Where’s Molly?
“Fine, then have someone bring me a pot of tea Make sure it’s the kind Molly always brews for me
Magnus hung up the intercom, frustration vident in his tone Molly was usually so reliable she had
promised to brew hin a fresh pot of tea Shouldn’t she have taken care of that before taking offr
Not long after, an office aide arrived with the requested tea. “Sir, here’s your lea”
