Chapter 40
Byron had just been bustling around the department, and as soon be found some free time, he rushed over in Julia’s location. However, in the hallway, he encountered a somewhat dejected Julia.
“Dr. Lopez, how are you? Did Joseph do something to you?”
Facing his worried expression, Julia shook her head and then apologized I can’t stay in your apartment, har covera month’s rent. I’ll move oUE
Byron, with a handsome yet tender face, appeared puzzled. He asked with concem, “Why? Are you going back to the Togez family? What about the child…
Julia shook her head again and said softly, I have a place to stay. You don’t need to worry”
She clearly didn’t want to elaborate, and Byron didn’t want to press. He simply said, “If there’s anything you need help with,
make sine to ask.”
In reality, Julia didn’t need Byron’s help at all. As soon as she returned in her office, her phone received a message that [I’ll have Joel pick you up after work, Sh
She gave a cold chuckle and coldly pocketed her phone with an indiffe
Amelie waited in the hospital room for quite a while until Joseph finally arrived. As she heard the door open, she immediately pretended to have just regained consciousness from a faint. She started with a confused and helpless expremion, seeing him, she quickly switched to a surprised and delighted look
Joseph, what happened to me? Why am I suddenly here in the hospital room? Amelie asked.
“Miss Hamilton, when those reporters pushed your earlier, you fainted, Stephanie quickly responded, following the narrative Amelie had instructed her to live.
Seeing Joseph remain tight–lipped, Amelie immediately adopted a self–blaming expression. Im sorry, Joseph I had no idea those paparazzi would suddenly come to the hospital. I’ve never revealed my year–long recovery here to the press Became of me, Julia almost got hurt. I should apologize to her?
“She’s fine,” Joseph replied, taking a seat by the bed. His long legs stretched out to the side,
“I’m glad to hear that. Josephs, will you blame me?” Amelie inquired.
To this question, Joseph offered no answer. An awkward silence settled in the room Sensing the discomfort, Stephanie quickly) intervened. gesturing with her eyes towards Amelie, and said, “Mr. Mullins, Miss Hamilton was scared this time. She needs proper rest, and it’s essential to have someone by her side at all times. Especially at this stage, a pregnant woman needs her child’s father’s company
Joseph’s gaze dropped, and he remained silent.
“Joseph, what are you thinking?” Amelie asked anxiously.
“Nothing. Since you’re fine now, you should go back,” Josepli said.
She was absolutely fine. All her fainting episode was an act. Amelie found it increasingly challenging to decipher Josepli’s. thoughts. Every time she met his aloof and distant gaze, she felt as if he saw right through her, leaving her too intimidated to speak further.
Amelie was dropped off at Fountain Garden, and Joseph headed straight back to the office.
“Miss Hamilton, should we prepare Mr. Mullins dinner? It was getting late, and Ashley needed to plan the evening Though she was reluctant, she still felt the need to ask Amelie
Joseph comes back every evening to be with me. Of course, dimmer needs to be ready for him. And, you still address me as Miss Hamilton: Do you think I can’t marry into the Mullins family?” Amelie suddenly flared up, leaving Ashley puzzled

Til prepare Mr. Mullins dinner, Ashley said and headed to the kitchen, pondering whether to relay this conversation to Joseph.
In the living room, Amelie, who had just vented her frustration, still felt a heaviness in her chest and a sense of uncase. Thinking about what Joseph had said to Julia in the hospital, she became even more restless
She had just moved into this house not long ago, and her official entry into the Mullins family hadn’t happened yet. She alssolutely couldn’t allow Julia to snatch her position again.
Glancing at Ashley busying herself in the kitchen. Amelie went upstairs and firmly closed her bedroom door. She found Amanda’s number and dialed it
“Amanda, you have to help me again this time, Amelie pleaded.
In the receiver, Amanda’s voice sounded puzzled, “Didn’t I just help you? Didn’t the reporters capture the image of you and Joseph leaving the hospital’s obstetrics and gynecology department together?”
At the mention of this. Amelie’s expression immediately turned unpleasant. “They did. But the paparazzi and reporters you called also captured that damn Julia!”
Amelie internally celebrated that she hadn’t arranged for a live broadcast. Otherwise, everyone would have seen Joseph leaving Amelie behind for Julia. In Amelie’s eyes, such a situation was incredibly humiliating for her. She believed Julia should be inferior to her in every aspect, especially in Joseph’s heart.
Upon hearing Amelie’s sullen voice, Amanda quickly grasped the situation. “This could be a great opportunity”
“A great opportunity? To let everyone know that the man who should be mine is caring for Julia?” Amelie asked, bewildered.
Amanda understood Amelie’s resentment. Over the years, Amelie’s sense of superiority had stemmed from Joseph’s care and Lavoritism. Now, even though Joseph and Julia were divorced, he seemed to favor Julia even more, which Amelie couldn’t accept
“Amelie, think about it. If people outside know you’re carrying Mr. Mullins child and Julia, as his ex–wife, is trying to seduce him, whether or not those people are your fans, they will side with you, Amanda explained.
The public’s reaction to the video of Joseph embracing Julia, captured by the reporters, was the best proof. Upon hearing this, Amelie, who had been feeling resentful, immediately showed a look of pleasant surprise and began to consider how to implement this plan.
“Amanda, I need your help to execute this, Amelie said,
“No problem. I treat you like my own sister. How could I not help you? But, Amelie, you’ve been resting since you returned from abroad. Isn’t it time to get back to work? Amanda askeil.
After all, Amanda and Amelie’s contract had not yet ended, and she naturally hoped Amelie would be more career–oriented. If Amelie chose to return at this time, leveraging the title of Joseph’s girlfriend, she could certainly thrive in the entertainment industry.
The entertainment industry evolves rapidly, and Amanda currently has no potential talents on her roster. She had heard that her rival had signed a new talent from a wealthy family who, due to her connections, could secure many acting roles and endorsements. If things continued this way, Amanda would only be ridiculed by her competitors.
Amelie’s hesitation was evident. Tm ‘pregnant‘ right now. If I choose to return at this time. Joseph won’t agree.
Moreover, Rylie had been dissatisfied with her, believing that celebrities in the entertainment industry had chaotic personal lives, including Amelie herself, and that she wasn’t suitable for Joseph
“As long as we make some appropriate arrangements, such as having the doctors claim that your condition and the baby’s health are gradually stabilizing. I don’t think Mr. Mullins would object. You have to make up your mind. If y now to solidity your position, you might never become an A–list celebrity in the entertainment industry.” Amanda replied.

Chapter 40
While Amanda greatly admired how Amelie had captured the attention of someone from the upper echelons like Joseph, she couldn’t deny that Amelie didn’t look all that great, especially compared to Julia. When Amanda had seen the video, she had observed Julia, who appeared simple at first glance without much makeup but, on closer inspection, had remarkably refined features and an ineffable charm. However, Amanda didn’t voice these thoughts to Amelie.
“Well, let me think about it,” Amelie said. And then she added. “Amanda, there’s one more thing you’ve got to help me with. How exactly did you manage to get Lily pregnant and hitched to her sugar daddy back then?”
Lily Shaw used to be one of Amanda’s talents, always going for that sexy vibe, hitting up all sorts of parties without care. She went through quite a few sugar daddies in a couple of years, and eventually, her health went downhill. Finally, she latched. onto this older guy who was pushing fifty and didn’t have any sons. With all the miscarriages Lily had, it seemed impossible. for her to get pregnant, but with Amanda’s help, she actually did.
Eagerly, Amelie continued. “Since that method of getting pregnant was so effective, Amanda, could you teach me?”
