Sweet Pregnant Wife: CEO Phillip's Fierce Love novel Chapter 38

Ann hurried home from work and was embarrassed to find Betty and Nikki in the living room.

"Mrs. Jobson, thank you for taking him back. I appreciate it."

Betty sat Ann down on the couch, looking a little annoyed, "Nikki's my granddaughter, and we're all family. What was that about?"

With that, Ann looked at Nikki next to him. She recalled that Karl asked her to keep Nikki's origin a secret from Betty.

But Ann felt wrong since they were getting married.

One day, Betty would know all this.

"Mrs. Jobson, actually..."

At this moment, Betty suddenly took Ann's hand and said with some hesitation.

"Ann, I heard someone downstairs just now saying that someone was courting you. Is that true?"

Ann was stunned, "Mrs. Jobson, who told you that?"

Betty then told Ann everything that happened downstairs, but she didn't mention the relationship between Rudy and Karl. She only said that the neighbor who gave her directions told her about it.

Ann said resignedly, "Mrs. Jobson, there is really such a thing. But I have nothing to do with that man. Karl also knows about that."

Released to learn that Karl knew about that, Betty clapped Ann's hand.

"I know you're honest and kind, not the kind of person who would betray Karl. My son Karl loves you very much, and you two also have a son, Nikki. Such a thing is a rumor!"

Ann gave a toothless grin, but she sighed inwardly.

Karl had suspected her before, and now Betty suspected her again. She didn't know if this kind of suspicion would happen again.

Her past was like a time bomb.

Perhaps she had to make a choice...

The next day, Ann handed over her resignation application to the leader.

The leader did not dare to agree easily because of the rumors about Ann and Phillip in the company.

The leader asked someone to consult with the president and asked her to work first. Then he promised to give her a reply within three days.

Phillip was enraged when he heard of Ann's sudden resignation.

Ignoring those who were still waiting for him, he left the meeting room and went to the small room where Ann always stayed.

Ann was trying on perfume when she heard the door open. Then she turned and, with a slight start, saw Philip. But in that second, everything was clear to her and she was calm again.

"Mr. Phillip."

Phillip pulled her against the wall, supported her with his other hand, and stared at her with his cold eyes.

"Tell me. Why are you quitting all of a sudden?"

Ann shook off Phillip's hand, took a deep breath, and looked him straight in the eye, "I've been here for a while. I don't think the Moore Group is the right place for me."

Phillip scoffed, "Not the right place? If the Moore Group isn't the right place for you, do you think you can find some place better in the River City?"

Ann bowed her head and said, "Mr. Phillip don't have to worry about that for me."

"He asked you to quit? Is he afraid he won't be able to keep you?"

When Ann heard Phillip's sarcasm on Karl, she frowned and looked at Phillip with a cold, angry look.

"As I said before, this is my own choice. Even if you are the president of the Moore Group, you have no right to insult other people at will!"

Philip, however, narrowed his eyes and bent down to Ann.

"Then is this about me?"

Phillip went closer and closer with his distant eyes fixed on Ann. And His features were so defined and frosty.

Lost in his obsidian eyes for a while, Ann remembered to calm herself down by biting her lower lip.

"Yes. You've gone too far. You're interfering too much in my life! I'm bothered and I'm uncomfortable around you!"
