After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire’s Child
Chapter 264 - 258

Chapter 264: Chapter 258

When Carlos returned to the villa, the last hint of sunset was about to vanish from the sky.

He headed towards the room.

He knew in his heart that he had to clarify his relationship with Rainny White to Emily Parker; otherwise, this thorn would remain between them.

Finally reaching the room door, he took a deep breath and slowly pushed it open.

The room was quiet, without a sound.

His eyes quickly scanned every corner of the room but found no trace of Emily Parker.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly and, after asking the butler, he learned that Emily Parker had not yet returned.

He contacted Oliver Ross, who said that after leaving the police station, Emily Parker had gone to Eastern Hospital to see Evelyn Hanson.

Having invested in Eastern Hospital, he had added Evelyn Hanson on WeChat. Opening WeChat, as he was about to message Evelyn Hanson to inquire about Emily Parker, he saw Evelyn Hanson had just posted a new message in her Moments.

"High school reunion, Grand Hyatt Hotel, see you there."

His eyes were fixed on those few words, a hint of confusion and worry in his gaze.

"High school reunion?"

He mumbled to himself, "It seems Emily Parker is also attending the high school reunion."

Suddenly, he thought of Adam Willow, Emily Parker’s former high school classmate, and his heart tightened slightly, his brows knitted even tighter.

Outside the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Emily Parker and Evelyn Hanson got out of the car together.

There was a hint of helplessness on Emily Parker’s face as she said softly,

"I said I didn’t want to attend the reunion, but you insisted on bringing me here."

Today’s experiences had left her in a rather bad mood; she originally intended to vent to Evelyn Hanson, not expecting it was exactly the night of the high school reunion.

She had muted the group messages, so she had no idea about this at all.

Evelyn Hanson, clinging to Emily Parker’s arm, had a look of anger on her face,

"Emily, you should at least show your face.

That Nana Ross, she hasn’t held back from speaking ill of you behind your back. Saying you pretended to be a wealthy young lady because you got dumped by Adam Willow.

Saying that you’re afraid of being exposed, you wouldn’t dare come to this reunion.

If you really don’t come, who knows what kind of rumors she might spread."

Evelyn Hanson, as one of the organizers of the reunion, was practically infuriated when she heard those rumors.

No matter what, she was determined to bring Emily Parker here tonight to confront Nana Ross and vent her anger.

Just as the two entered the hotel, a black business car slowly came to a stop. Although it was domestically made, its appearance was neither ostentatious nor eye-catching.

However, its license plate was special, clearly a car for government officials.

The car door opened, and Adam Willow stepped out, looking tall and upright in a well-tailored suit, which made him appear exceptionally handsome.

Immediately after, Sophie Parker, holding Adam Willow’s arm, also got out of the car.

Her makeup was exquisite, with an expression of pride and confidence, and the branded dress she wore highlighted her curves in the light, making her shine brightly.

Sophie Parker’s face was glowing with happiness as she affectionately clung to Adam Willow’s arm, feeling secretly satisfied, thinking she’s indeed been very fortunate lately.

Her father had just been promoted, her relationship with Adam Willow was progressing smoothly, everything was so lovely.

"Little Sophie, actually, you really didn’t have to come to this reunion tonight.

I just joined the Carter Clan, there’s a lot going on, I’ll have to leave after showing face for a bit."

Adam Willow slightly furrowed his brow, a touch of helplessness in his tone.

Truthfully, he hadn’t wanted to attend the reunion at all; however, Nana Ross, as one of the organizers, kept enthusiastically calling him, and he couldn’t refuse her kindness, so he reluctantly agreed.

Unexpectedly, once Sophie Parker heard, she insisted on coming along.

Sophie Parker looked up, her smile sweet but with a flash of cunning in her eyes,

"I want to meet your high school classmates too.

When we host our wedding banquet in the future, it’ll be good to familiarize ourselves ahead of time to invite them."

In reality, she had secretly checked Adam Willow’s phone before and discovered several female classmates from high school expressing fondness for him. She didn’t want to give those people any chance, so she insisted on coming along.

Saying this, Sophie Parker clung tighter to Adam Willow’s arm, wearing a confident smile as the two walked into the hotel together.

Tonight’s reunion was held in the lavishly decorated National Beauty Hall.

As Emily Parker and Evelyn Hanson reached the entrance, they saw Nana Ross and a few female classmates dressed meticulously, each one colorfully adorned, craning their necks and eagerly looking outside.

Nana Ross stood out the most among them.

She wore a tight-fitting red dress that highlighted her curves vividly, a sparkling diamond necklace around her neck, holding a branded handbag in one hand, exuding an air of deliberate flaunting.

She had specifically come out to wait for Adam Willow. After much inquiry, she finally learned that he had become an assistant to the chairman at the Carter Clan and had separated from Emily Parker.

Having always harbored admiration for Adam Willow, Nana Ross naturally didn’t want to miss this rare opportunity.

Unexpectedly, she saw Emily Parker before Adam Willow.

"Oh, isn’t this our old classmate? You came alone? Why didn’t you bring your husband?

Why do you look so pale?

Could it be that you had a fight with him?

It makes sense though, living as a wealthy young lady isn’t easy, and if you’re not careful, you might end up a discarded spouse."

Nana Ross wore a malicious smile and looked Emily Parker up and down as she spoke.

When she saw Emily Parker’s fresh and charming face, unadorned by any makeup, she flashed a trace of envy in her eyes.

Quickly, her gaze landed on Emily Parker’s attire.

Emily Parker wore a simple, plain dress without any designer labels, carrying just an ordinary eco-friendly bag, with no sign of any luxurious bags or jewelry.

In Nana Ross’ eyes, calling Emily Parker a wealthy young lady, she appeared more like a forsaken spouse.

Faced with Nana Ross’ taunts, Emily Parker remained calm, only slightly furrowing her brows without responding immediately.

Evelyn Hanson, however, was so furious her face turned red and was about to retort, but Emily Parker gently tugged at her sleeve, signaling her not to be impulsive.

"Indeed, the life of a wealthy person isn’t easy. Otherwise, your Ross’ Residence wouldn’t have gone bankrupt easily," Emily Parker smiled softly.
