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

---- disasters!" Professor Jeffrey chuckled. "Don't worry, I remember the good things too. Your class was one of the best I ever taught." He turned to Clara again. "By the way, your thesis is still the model I use in my lectures. That paper on in-vitro fertilization? You nailed it. The data was outstanding, and it's still valuable for clinical research. You'll go on stage today as our Outstanding Student Representative." Clara waved her hands quickly. "Oh, Professor Jeffrey, I don't deserve that! It's been so many years, I've forgotten most of it.

Let Fletcher go instead." Fletcher immediately protested. "No way! I wasn't terrible, but compared to you? Not a chance. If I go up there as the Outstanding Student, someone might throw a rotten egg at me!" Lisa grinned. "Clara totally earned it. Don't forget how many nights she spent in the lab working on that paper." "That's settled then," Professor Jeffrey said firmly. "It's you, Clara. No more arguing. If you feel guilty, then just keep shining in the medical field." Everyone laughed, and soon the room was buzzing ---- with excitement and old memories.

Time flew by, and before they knew it, an hour had passed. The loudspeaker crackled to life, announcing that alumni should start taking their seats in the auditorium. The group began to file in. Mackenzie, escorted by the host, was seated front and center in the first row, while everyone else sat in sections organized by graduation year. The ceremony began with a speech from the principal, followed by the vice principal introducing the university's progress and future plans. "I'm sure many of you noticed our brand-new laboratory during your campus tour today," he said.

"The equipment inside represents some of the most advanced technology in the world." "This lab was donated by one of Silverton's finest companies, Edenfield Group. On behalf of the entire faculty and student body, I want to express our heartfelt gratitude. This facility will play a vital role in advancing medical education here. Now, please welcome Edenfield Group's chairman, the distinguished entrepreneur, Mr. Aaron Devereaux, to say a few words!" ---- Clara froze. What was he doing here? As soon as Aaron stepped onto the stage, whispers rippled through the crowd.

"Whoa, that's the CEO of Edenfield Group? He's so young!" "And seriously good-looking! I thought he was a celebrity!" "An entire lab? That must've cost a fortune!" "At least eight million, easy." 'Guess real estate really is where the money's at. Meanwhile, we doctors slave away for a few thousand a month." "Every job's tough, but not many make it as far as he did." "He's rich, handsome, and built like that? Unreal. What kind of woman could land a guy like him?" "If I called him 'husband' right now, would the principal kick me out?" Clara didn't hear a single word Aaron said.

Her brain completely shut down. Before she realized it, someone nudged her up to the ---- stage. She found herself standing next to him, accepting the "Outstanding Student" certificate from his hand, still dazed. Aaron leaned slightly toward her, a playful smile tugging at his lips. "What's wrong? Surprised?" Clara blinked, whispering, "More like shocked." When she stepped down, she overheard the principal chatting with Aaron. "Mr. Devereaux, what made you decide to donate to our school?" Aaron smiled politely. "My wife studied here. She's an excellent doctor now.

I wanted to thank the school for nurturing so many great talents." "Oh, I see! That's wonderful," the principal said warmly. "We look forward to more collaborations in the future." Aaron's voice was calm and certain. "There will be."
