Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law-Chapter 616: Silvia Baxter’s Mission (2)_1
"Mm."
Julia softly responded, then found a comfortable position in his arms and slept peacefully, reassured by his presence. Even if their son woke up crying, she didn’t have to worry; he had the potential to be a doting dad and could soothe their son.
Outside the villa, Silvia Baxter hadn’t left. She got out of her car, leaned against her black Audi, crossed her left arm over her chest, and smoked a cigarette with her right hand. Dressed in men’s clothes, she looked every bit a man. She wore a black, straight-fitting suit with a white shirt underneath, a red tie, and black trousers. If it weren’t for her lack of an Adam’s apple, no one would believe she was a woman. Smoking her cigarette, she occasionally blew out smoke, giving off a slightly rascally vibe.
Her gaze was fixed on the Horne Family villa, whose gates Uncle Ying had already locked. Glades had declared Julia would not see visitors, so naturally, Uncle Ying didn’t dare to let Silvia in. Silvia wasn’t angry; she had expected this outcome.
A faint smile crossed her lips as she sneered inwardly, Glades Horne, the more you care about Julia, the more interesting this game becomes. A beauty like Julia should be with me, Silvia Baxter. If I had Julia, I, Silvia Baxter, wouldn’t look for other prey in the future; I’d be devoted to Julia for life.
If Julia knew about Silvia’s mindset, she’d be covered in goosebumps.
Tossing away the cigarette butt, Silvia turned, opened her car door, got inside, and drove off.
Her visit wasn’t solely about Julia; she had a more important task at hand. The Black Emperor Group was in the planning stage, and she was responsible for merging these newly registered small companies into the Black Emperor Group. Of course, the more critical task was to first get these small companies up and running smoothly and turning a profit.
The young master had sent many experts from the business world, members of his sect, to help set up the Black Emperor Group, but she was the main pillar. To be entrusted in such a way by the young master, I would go through fire and water for him.
After the establishment of the Black Emperor Group, the goal was to seize the throne of the business world in T City. This mission posed a daunting challenge to Silvia, who had only just begun dealing with the Valence Group. Overwhelming Valence Group’s well-established foundation and taking their top spot is as hard as ascending to the heavens. Yet, for the command issued by the young master, I will risk my life to fulfill it. With the young master’s pride, only the position of the overlord suits him. To take on the Valence Group and Glades Horne, Julia Bluen is very important. Only Julia Bluen can throw Glades Horne into complete disarray. However, it seems now there’s another factor: their newborn son, half a month old, Ivan Horne.
Silvia’s smile grew deeper and richer. I relish the idea of this battle.
As for Julia, I will follow the young master’s orders—destroy her! The young master’s command is the top priority. Since joining the Flaming Sect, I have lived my life for the Sect. To me, the soul of the Sect—the Master and the young master—are the people I will be loyal to for life. Julia is Glades Horne’s Achilles’ heel. Harm might come to Julia in the process of dealing with Glades. If it means bringing about his downfall, even if it meant hurting Julia, I would proceed without hesitation.
The car shot out of Golden Kirin Garden like an arrow released from a bow.
In a foreign country far away, Noah Reyes was gradually intensifying his plans to oppose his future brother-in-law. It was foreseeable that his quest to win his wife would be extremely challenging.
「In South Hill District, Waterfront New Village.」
Rachel Bailey, seven months pregnant, had temporarily stopped going out and was nurturing her baby at home. Her inability to visit her good friend Julia, who had given birth, left her feeling rather down. I can’t understand why a pregnant woman can’t visit a new mother. Is there really some truth to this taboo?
Sitting in the Side Hall, she watched TV out of boredom.
Her belly was round, and because she was short, it appeared especially large. Hansen Ruiz, when he wasn’t busy, stayed by her side, taking her out for drives to unwind or walking hand in hand with her around the villa neighborhood.
A glass of milk and a plate of peeled, cut apples were placed in front of her. Hansen sat down beside her and asked softly, "Apples or milk, which do you prefer?"
Rachel didn’t answer but reached for an apple to eat. She didn’t like drinking milk; it made her throw up. Her morning sickness had long ended, but she would still vomit if she drank milk. She chose to eat apples instead. Supposedly, eating apples during pregnancy would make the baby’s skin fair and rosy, very attractive.
"Wanna give milk another try?" Hansen asked as he picked up the glass of fresh milk. Getting fresh milk was difficult. He had gone through a lot of trouble to ensure she could drink real fresh milk daily, yet she would vomit whenever she drank it. At most, only a fifth of a glass of milk could actually stay in her stomach.
He had also tried getting her goat milk, but she couldn’t drink that either. Some people just naturally reject cow and goat milk.
But Rachel said she hadn’t rejected them before; it was only after becoming pregnant that she did. She figured it was probably the baby who didn’t like it.
"It’s unpleasant to throw up; I don’t want to try. Ruiz," Rachel put down the remote control, turned, and faced Hansen Ruiz, speaking with longing, "Tell me more about Julia’s son. I haven’t even seen her son yet."
