Unexpected Marriage: She is the Sugar Mommy!-Chapter 336: Pomelo’s True Origins

Pomelo’s origins are mysterious. At a young age, she moved through several cities before arriving in Bayside City.

Because she was so young, her memories are not very clear, but she remembers very clearly the incident where the maniac hurt her.

Due to a child’s tender skin, the whip scars inflicted by the lunatic have nearly all healed. Even if you search now, you can’t find any trace, only some faint whip marks visible against the background.

After reviewing these documents, Seraphina finally understood why Pomelo reacted with such terror when she saw that man.

Experiencing such inhumane treatment at such a young age, it’s inevitable her heart would be scarred.

Yet Pomelo usually behaves very cheerfully, causing Seraphina not to consider things from this perspective.

After encountering that man, Pomelo seemed to be reminded of a plethora of bad memories, becoming more melancholic, losing her appetite, even losing interest in the butterfly shrimp made by Desmond, which she used to love.

No matter how Jude teased or coaxed her, Pomelo remained sullen, not speaking much or forcing a smile.

Though they’ve discovered quite a bit recently, there’s still no concrete evidence linking these matters to Eric Holt.

If all this is intricately connected to Eric Holt, it would only mean Eric Holt has secretly orchestrated a grand scheme.

But is that really possible?

Seraphina thought it was unlikely.

Pomelo’s appearance was merely accidental; he couldn’t have anticipated that Seraphina would encounter Pomelo or even take her away.

But what is the connection in all this? Seraphina couldn’t figure it out.

However, judging by the current situation, nothing particularly unusual has occurred.

Whether it be Eric Holt or Nina Kerr, all Seraphina’s adversaries seem to have vanished from sight entirely, having not appeared in her field of vision for some time.

However, Desmond Fairchild kept hovering before her eyes, owing to these matters.

After recuperating at home for over half a month, her body barely regained some strength. With Camille’s permission, Seraphina returned to work once more.

Fortunately, the company is full of elites and continued to run smoothly even in her absence. At home, she often held telephone conferences with the company’s senior management, so all projects proceeded orderly at the company.

After losing her child, Seraphina became even more stern than before, constantly wearing a cold expression at the company, like a harbinger of doom.

Previously, many junior employees at the company idolized Seraphina utterly, but now they avoided her, fearing inadvertently saying something wrong and offending Seraphina, thus losing their jobs.

"BOSS, you’ve recuperated at home for quite some time. Regardless of how well your health may be, your temper seems to have grown," Irene Rowe teased Seraphina while holding a cup of coffee.

At this moment, only Irene dared to joke with Seraphina; others wouldn’t dare.

"My temper’s always been like this; I merely felt before that managing a company can’t lack humanity entirely. However, when a mole appeared in our company, I suddenly realized it’s better to establish authority among employees; otherwise, many might think I’m good-natured and easy to bully." Seraphina sighed, taking the coffee brewed by her assistant.

Who really wants to wear a stern face every day? If not for the hope of the company becoming better and better, there’s no need for her to act like this.

Irene nodded in agreement: "You’re right. Those below have become much more disciplined now, though some employees secretly call you the ’cold-faced female assassin.’ To be honest, you indeed resemble one now."

"Shut up. How’s the task I assigned you coming along?" Seraphina shot her a glare, turning to serious business.

Upon discussing serious matters, Irene immediately dropped her joking demeanor, her expression changing: "Regarding Pomelo, we indeed couldn’t find more information; however, Austin White recently uncovered some details."

"Oh? Do tell." Seraphina looked at Irene with interest. Austin is her godson, and now that he’s found information, he hasn’t informed her immediately; he’s truly forgotten his mother after having a wife.

"Previously, Eugene Tate was involved in trafficking illegal drugs, indeed having someone backing him. Otherwise, with his status, he couldn’t have accessed such things, let alone trafficked them. Allegedly, the drugs he trafficked fetched sky-high prices in some domestic city’s underground markets. Such highly-pure hallucinogens aren’t something ordinary people can get their hands on."

While speaking, Irene paused for a few seconds, lowering her voice slightly: "BOSS, there are some matters you might want to ask President Fairchild; he likely knows more than we do."

"What do you mean by that?" Seraphina was puzzled; if Desmond could uncover things, she naturally could too. Could Desmond really discover things that she’d be unable to find?

She guessed correctly.

What she could uncover, Desmond could certainly discover, but what Desmond could find, she might not necessarily uncover.

Yet Seraphina didn’t understand these things.

"I don’t know the specifics, but Austin mentioned that President Fairchild’s identity isn’t as simple as it appears on the surface." Even Irene didn’t understand what Austin meant. Even if Desmond had another identity, could it be more noble than that of Cloudsea Group’s heir?

Seraphina’s mind tightened: "That’s impossible."

For two or three years she’s been entangled with Desmond, and throughout this time, she hasn’t discovered any other identity for him. He’s been constantly busy with Cloudsea Group’s business, never revealing any flaws in front of her.

How much depth of cunning must one have to hide so well even from one’s partner?

She didn’t believe it.

Irene shrugged: "I also find it somewhat unbelievable. President Fairchild’s identity is already sufficiently noble; what hidden identity could be so mysterious? Could he be a government official? I can’t imagine any other possibilities."

In politics?

The word exploded in Seraphina’s mind, as if she caught some crucial information.

Before she and Desmond broke up, when staying at Azure Cloud Shores, Desmond mysteriously acquired a batch of maids. Each maid was highly trained, not just in household chores but even in combat skills.

Chloe Irving was among them; Seraphina recalls being besieged at an underground casino, saved by Chloe. At that time, she was amazed by Chloe’s skills and had wondered about Chloe’s identity. But after losing her child, her mood plummeted, and she had forgotten about it.

Recalling now, everyone Desmond placed beside her wasn’t simple; even the maids were comparable to armed forces, with formidable combat prowess.

Is it as Irene mentioned—Desmond could indeed be a government official?

However, speculation remains mere speculation; even if she wanted to investigate these matters, she’d likely uncover no results. Though she’s not a person in the political arena, she’s quite aware that information related to politicians is confidential, except for what they want people to know.
