Oops! My Secret Baby Is Caught By His Top-Lawyer Daddy! Novel

---- Clara replied. Sebastian said thoughtfully, "The rest of the family isn't exactly welcoming, but that's normal. The West family is huge and wealthy. A poor guy like me had no chance of even visiting back then." "I was almost kicked out twice," Clara admitted. "I don't understand where their hostility came from." Sebastian chuckled. "Rich people are always suspicious. They assume everyone has an ulterior motive. Your mom's gone now. There's no reason to force it." Clara nodded. "Of course. I just felt that Grandma was kind. If I can, I'll help honor Mom by taking care of her.

But if they don't welcome me, I won't go back again." Sebastian didn't reply. His mind drifted back to that little villa. The villa had once been covered in morning glories with stained glass windows, so elegant. ---- Through the golden gate, he had seen Sue, the West family's young lady, like a princess in a pink tulle dress, swinging on a white swing, her smile radiant and perfect. He had never dared knock on the door. Instead, he would whistle softly. After only a moment, Sue would carefully open a small crack in the door and peek out to see him. She never wanted him to wait too long.

If only Sue had never met him, if he had never been part of her life, how perfect her life could have been. She would have had a happy, peaceful family and a life full of joy. But people always regret some choices, imagining that the path they didn't take would have been better. Even so, everyone knows that if time went back, given the same mind and experience, they'd likely make the same choices. So does the ---- ending really matter? Sebastian lowered his phone and buried his face in his hands, lost in thought for a long time. After hanging up, Clara video-called Aaron.

This time, he answered. He was in his office, eating takeout. "It's already nine. Why are you eating so late?" Clara asked. Aaron replied, "I was in meetings. It's been a while since I've been back in Silverton. Things piled up." Clara noticed the dark circles under his eyes and felt concerned. "No matter how busy you are, eat properly and get some rest." Aaron nodded. "I know. Is Leo asleep yet?" Just as Clara was about to reply, someone knocked on Aaron's office door. He had to hang up quickly. Aaron looked up as Olivia entered. "Have you contacted Harry?" ---- "Yes," Olivia said.

"I went to the hospital this afternoon where he's recovering. His injury isn't serious, just his leg, so he's still admitted. He doesn't talk much, but his girlfriend is sharp. She made some tough demands." "Girlfriend?" Aaron asked, frowning. "What's her background?" Olivia handed him some files. "I looked into it. She used to work at a law firm. She was laid off last year and has been dating Harry for over two months." Aaron opened the file and saw a name he hadn't encountered in a long time-Ariella Sinclair. He tapped his fingers lightly on the desk.

"What does she want?" Olivia said, "First, five million in compensation. Second, a public apology from you." Aaron gritted his teeth. He hadn't expected her to demand so much. "She knows I'm the head of the company?" "Yes. She mentioned you by name," Olivia ---- replied, also surprised. Only a few high-level employees at Edenfield Group knew Aaron was the real boss. Before coming to Silverton, even Olivia had assumed he was just a lawyer. Aaron said firmly, "Negotiate for now. The first demand might be considered, but the second is impossible.

Check who these two have been meeting recently." Olivia nodded and stepped toward the door, almost bumping into Matt as he came in. "Good news, sir!" Matt said, practically bouncing with excitement.
