“Did Zelma go to the office? What a scheming woman! She’s trying to force me with public opinion. I thought Zelma was easygoing, but she had been a bigger headache than expected,” thought Antonio.
Rufus’s voice wasn’t loud, but the others heard him clearly.
Grace took the shopping bag from Bryce, her expression unchanged, and casually said to Antonio, “It’s great that Zelma is pregnant. You should go back and take care of her.
“Mr. Huffman can come with me to the police station to register.”
Bryce nodded, patted Antonio’s shoulder, and joked, “Now that you’re settled, I guess I have to get moving too.”
His gaze was fixed on Grace while he spoke. Antonio, not finding it funny, brushed off his hand and replied shortly, “You do need to find someone.”
Bryce caught the sarcasm but didn’t mind. After all, he returned to pursue Grace.
By the time Antonio got to Benbury, it was nine the next morning. He strode into the office with a stern look on his face.
Zelma was dozing on the couch, using the pillow that Grace had bought for him.

The door’s slam jolted Zelma awake.
She looked at the tired Antonio with joy and called out, “Antonio.”
Antonio casually pulled his hand away and stepped aside to avoid her.
“Zelma, what do you really want? I told you our deal is done. Don’t push it,” Antonio whispered sharply.
The company was Barrett’s pride and joy, and he wouldn’t let its reputation ruin.
Zelma tried to seduce him with drugs and then made a scene at the office. He didn’t know what the staff outside were
thinking.
With a charming smile, Zelma pulled a pregnancy test from the table and handed it to Antonio.
“Antonio, this is our baby. Sir Kaufman values his lineage more than anything. Even if you don’t care about me, you should think about the baby and Sir Kaufman, right?” Zelma pleaded.
Even though Antonio was unwilling to accept it, the pregnancy test didn’t lie. She was four months pregnant.
This was probably from their first sex. With a frown, Antonio leaned back in his chair, staring at the pregnancy test.
Zelma hadn’t expected to get pregnant on the first try either. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone to great lengths to seduce Antonio.

“I’ll give you 3.2 million dollars. Get rid of the baby. Don’t push

me,” Antonio said, exhausted.
Two days straight of flying had worn him out, and now Zelma was pulling this.
Zelma stared at Antonio in disbelief, clutching the pregnancy test. He was willing to risk the Kaufman Group’s reputation just to avoid having this baby.
“Antonio, Sir Kaufman would definitely be upset if he knew. Please, I just want to have this baby, and I promise I won’t bother you again,” Zelma pleaded, feeling on edge. The baby wasn’t a threat to Antonio.
Antonio sneered, stood up, and slowly walked to her, lifting her chin.
“Zelma, this marriage was a deal. I’ve offered you 3.2 million dollars. Take it and let’s end this smartly.”
Antonio glanced at Zelma on the floor. “Drag her out. She’s barred from the company from now on.”
Rufus, waiting outside, wisely called security. Otherwise, he might have had a tough time getting Zelma out of the building.
“Antonio! Antonio! You can’t just do this!” shouted Zelma.
