Sweet Pregnant Wife: CEO Phillip's Fierce Love

Chapter 151 The Stick and the Carrot



Ann ran into Melinda when Ann came out of the elevator with piles of documents in her arms. When Ann saw Melinda, she was nervous, her hands lightly squeezing the document.

Although she knew that Melinda was her biological mother, deep down, she denied the fact.

Ann needed to take care of her father, so she took a few days off.

First, she could take care of his father.

Secondly, she could take a break.

Ann had some urgent documents to hand over, so she had to come over.

She didn't expect to run into Melinda.

Melinda, on the other hand, looked as calm as usual. She wore a smile on her face.

"Got a minute?"

Ann wanted to say no, but Melinda did not give her a chance and walked away.

Ann frowned and followed on second thought.

Melinda suggested talking in the fancy tea restaurant, but Ann rejected.

"We can talk here. I don't have so much time to waste."

Melinda's gaze fell on Ann's swollen eyelids and nodded.

"Since you insist, let's start."

Ann stood there quietly and expressionlessly with piles of documents in her arms.

"About yesterday, you did it right. I thought you would quit the office to get away from the pain. To avoid arousing Phillip's suspicion, you have to stay in the Moore Group before he gives up. I should have reminded you this."

Ann pressed her fingers hard on the documents.

"You're tougher and more rational than I thought. This is so like me."

Ann's mouth curled into a sneer when she listened to her mother's speech.

She wondered, 'Is she trying to say that I'm as cold and cruel as she is?'

"If there will be nothing else..."

"Ann, what's done is done. I won't push you, but the matter between you and Phillip should be put off any longer."

Ann stopped, turned around, and looked at Melinda, who looked indifferent at this time.

"What do you want from me?"

Melinda noticed Ann's sneer and saw through her sorrow behind her eyes, and she tried to persuade Ann.

"You know that Phillip still loves you. He thinks your father and I threw a spanner in between the relationship. But you know that it's impossible to be with him!"

Ann was distressed, her eyes darkening when she thought of Phillip.

Melinda wanted to touch Ann's hand, but Ann avoided it.

Melinda didn't mind and still wore a smile.

"No matter how hard Phillip tries, it's all in vain. How can you bear to see him break his heart and suffer like this? Think about your father. Think about Phillip. You're a smart kid, so you will know what's best for you."

After a while, Melinda sighed.

"I know, this is hard for you... but I have no choice. I made you break up with Phillip because I didn't want to get into this condition. I have to!"

Ann felt heartbroken when she heard this.

"If you didn't abandon your family and me; if you didn't remarry for money; if you had told me earlier about your identity, how could it have turned out like this?"

Melinda heard Ann's sob, and she didn't show her any mercy.

"You should hate me, but it's too late. If you don't want it to be out of control, you have to leave Phillip. I don't care how you want me to pay off my debt after this." Melinda said gently and kindly. Ann watched Melinda's departure. She bit her lips, and tears started to well up her eyes.

She raised her head, took a deep breath, and tried to hold back her tears.

Ann stood there for a long time until she calmed down a little. Then she turned around and entered the company hall.
