After Divorce, She Married a Billionaire

Dean awkwardly took the microphone from me. Although he looked nervous, he still tried hard to keep smiling.

Three seconds later, he spoke tentatively, “Yes… Miss Yuan and our family have a special relationship.”

The staff in the audience interrupted, “What’s the connection?”

Dean said intermittently: “In fact, five years ago… Miss Yuan was… a poor student sponsored by Candice and I. But no one expected that Miss Yuan would become so outstanding now.”

He smiled stiffly and handed the microphone back to me. I nodded gently and continued to say to the staff below the stage: “Yes, just as my husband said, Jacqueline is like a relative to our family, like a cute little sister!” I turned my head and looked at Jacqueline , “right, sister?”

Jacqueline ‘s face also looked a little strange. She must be wondering why I was so abnormal at this moment.

But no matter how doubtful she was, she had to pretend to act well in the play. After all, there were cameras facing her in the audience.

And those shots were taken by reporters from magazines and media companies whom I had specially invited a long time ago.

Although this signing ceremony was not big, my father’s company is an old brand that has been in business for decades, so this little news is enough to occupy a small page.

Jacqueline showed her not-so-white teeth and said with a trembling laugh, “Yes, Candice and Dean … have been very kind to me. They paid for my tuition and living expenses for the past five years… I am… very grateful to them.”

After hearing this, I laughed countless times in my heart. Now she doesn’t call Dean ” Dean ” anymore, but calls him “brother” instead? She is really good at acting!

asked Jacqueline a question by name .

“Ms. Yuan, I heard that you lived in Miss Jones ‘s house some time ago, and you are pregnant with Mr. Zhou’s child. Is this true? You are pregnant now, right?”

As soon as these words were spoken, all the employees in the conference room went wild.

No one could believe that Jacqueline was pregnant with Dean ‘s child, and I was also pregnant with Dean ‘s child.

Jacqueline and I had a conflict before, all the posts, comments and slanderous news were only circulated within the university campus. And the incidents of throwing vases and threatening to jump off the building at Eugene were only circulated within the CE Group .

Eugene had already issued a clear order in the company, prohibiting everyone from discussing or spreading the matter between Jacqueline and me , so the confidentiality work was done pretty well.

But now that the reporter has asked, it means that the matter has been made public.

Of course, I specially arranged that reporter.

Jacqueline received this hot-button question, she glanced at me awkwardly. I think she should know very well that if she said something wrong in an occasion like today, then this contract would not be able to continue.

Moreover, she is speaking in front of the camera now, so she must not tell any untrue lies, otherwise, the piles of negative news will cut off all her sources of income.

She had been wanted by the company a while ago because she was too self-destructive. Apart from the new endorsement of CE Group , she had almost no new announcements. Her agent accepted the cooperation invitation this time at lightning speed. It is conceivable how much she was short of money and how poor she was.

So, under the current circumstances, she won’t talk nonsense, and I’m not worried that she will make up some nonsense like I forced her to have a surrogate pregnancy and then forced her to have an abortion.

Seeing that Jacqueline didn’t say anything, the reporter spoke again, “Ms. Yuan, there are rumors online that the reason you are pregnant with Mr. Zhou’s child is because you want to help Mr. Zhou’s family with surrogacy, because Miss Jones ‘s health was not very good at that time, so…”

At this time, Jacqueline hurriedly interrupted, “Yes! The reason why I got pregnant is because I wanted to repay my gratitude! Because Candice and Dean have been so kind to me, when I learned that Candice was in poor health, I decided to help them and be a surrogate mother…”

The reporter continued, “That means you are indeed pregnant now, and you took the initiative to ask to be a surrogate for Miss Jones’s family, right?”

Jacqueline nodded nervously, “Yeah…”

The reporter turned to me and asked, ” Miss Jones , since you have already found Miss Yuan to be your surrogate mother, how come you are… pregnant again?”

I smiled and explained, “Maybe God took pity on me! That’s why he unexpectedly gave me such a surprise.”

The reporter said: “Since you already have your own child, Miss Yuan’s pregnancy is…”

I shook my head. “I have discussed this with Jacqueline . She doesn’t want to abort the baby. Of course, we respect her choice. Besides, I am giving her these filming resources because I feel I owe her something. I have always regarded her as my sister.”

The reporter nodded thoughtfully, and then said to Jacqueline , “But Miss Yuan, as far as I know, the surrogacy process takes a long time, which also includes the fertilization process of sperm and egg. You got pregnant so quickly, it seems that the time when you did the egg test with Miss Jones doesn’t match…”

Now, Jacqueline was completely speechless. I guess she couldn’t figure out how to explain the time difference problem.

I sneered in my heart, watching how she would lie.

At this time, the employees in the audience began to whisper.

Of course, this is my family’s company, so all the employees naturally speak in my favor.

Jacqueline ‘s face was getting redder and redder. Just when I couldn’t bear it any longer, Dean suddenly grabbed the microphone from Jacqueline ‘s hand and said, “Surrogacy is a family matter between Candice and me . It’s our private matter, so it seems that there’s no need to explain it.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Immediately, the employees below began to talk about it. Some said that Dean was putting on airs, while others said that he acted like the man of the house before he even took up the job.

It seems that everyone has a bad impression of him.

I saw that Dean was about to collapse, so I clapped my hands at the employees below the stage and said, “Well, today’s signing ceremony is now successfully concluded. In a while, you and Dean will get to know each other. The company has temporarily decided to assign him to the administrative department. You can introduce each other. I will not interfere.”

Afterwards, I stepped off the stage and walked in front of the reporters. I bowed to them and said, “Thank you for your hard work, reporters. I have arranged lunch in advance. You can just follow me.”

The reporters nodded politely, “Thank you, Miss Jones .”
