Chapter 141:
Lillian spun around, fury flashing in her eyes as she hissed, “Shut up!” Joyce let out a soft laugh, clearly unfazed
by the frustration in Lillian’s voice.
“Honestly, Daniela, even though you're no longer part of the Harper family and we're not sisters anymore, | feel
like | should remind you of something. As women, we know that our first experiences are important. Sure, maybe
you're used to being reckless, but now that you're leading Elite Lux, shouldn't you be more careful with your
reputation? After all, you wouldn't want to bring shto the company, right? But then again, | can see where
you're coming from. Someone like you, always so cold and distant—it’s no surprise you're all alone. Men
probably steer clear of you, don’t they? Unlike me, of course. I'm sweet, obedient, and gentle. Men can’t get
enough of me. Cedric, Alexander—men of real class, they're all at my feet. Tell me, Daniela, what do you think
Dad would say if he knew you were fooling around with men before marriage? What if he found out you were
pregnant and unmarried? Don’t you think he’d regret not cutting ties with you sooner? You've always been a

think any wealthy family would want you?”
It was obvious that Joyce had been utterly bored in the restroom, trapped with no one to talk to all day. So, when
the chance to taunt Daniela cup, she wasn’t about to let it pass her by. Her constant jabbering filled the
space, and gradually, the emotions choking Daniela’s chest began to dull.
She straightened up, hit the flush button, and pushed open the stall door. Joyce gasped tically, “Daniela!
What's with that pale face? Are you really pregnant?” She leaned in, curiosity practically dripping from her tone.
“So, who's the father of the baby?”
Daniela stopped herself from slapping Joyce and instead signaled for Lillian to cover and help her out of the
restroom. Joyce didn’t stop.

“Daniela, you don’t even know who the father is?” Her face contorted into a cruel grin.
“Ugh, Daniela! With all the deals the company’s been landing lately, don’t tellyou've been using your body
to seal them? Seriously, you're disgusting! You don’t even know who the father of your child is? But really, that’s
how it works, isn’t it? Nobody owns up to, you know, transactions like that. Even if you get pregnant, it's always
the woman left to deal with it. Poor thing! A child growing up fatherless, raised in a hwithout love—it’s only
going to turn out as messed up as you are! Letgive you some...”
Suddenly, a slap cracked through the air, sharp and final, silencing Joyce mid-sentence. For a moment,
everything went quiet. Daniela exhaled deeply, feeling a wave of satisfaction. Sometimes, actions spoke louder
than words.
With Lillian’s support, she made her way out of the restroom.
Joyce stood frozen for a moment, stunned. She then hurried after Daniela, ready to shout at her retreating form,
when, out of nowhere, a wave of nausea washed over her. Her stomach twisted in a sickening churn.
She stumbled back to the toilet, bent over it, gagging and dry heaving.
Gripping the edge of the toilet, Joyce muttered under her breath, “Damn Daniela! Pregnancy isn’t contagious, is
it?”
Joyce exited the restroom, meticulously retouching her makeup.
Just as she finished, her phone vibrated with a text from Katrina.

Joyce typed back, “Got it.”
Another message quickly pinged.
“You haven't been fooling around, have you? Remember, we can’t have a repeat of last time! I've invited Richard
and Alexander for tonight's dinner. | plan to talk about the engagement to Alexander.”
Joyce's eyes sparkled with excitement. She was on the brink of becoming Alexander's wife.
