The Heiress’ Hidden Alliance

Chapter 112 Preparing For Pregnancy 

Luna poured out all the words that were in her heart, blaming Phyllis for everything. 

Finished 

If Phyllis hadn’t failed in giving Aurelia a good upbringing, how could Aurelia, the well–respected daughter of the Leedon family, abandon her status to become someone’s lover? 

The words of Luna hit Phyllis‘ mind like a bolt from the blue. 

“You’re not fit to be Auri’s mother. When others wrongly accuse her, instead of defending her, you add fuel to the fire and defame her! Just because you are filthy and shameful, you think everyone else is the same?” Phyllis raged. 

Luna, arms crossed and furious, raised her hand to slap Phyllis, but Phyllis was one step ahead. 

Slap! 

The sound of the slap was loud and painful. 

Luna staggered back three steps after being struck, clutching her face. 

The disbelief was evident in the eyes behind the sunglasses. 

“Phyllis, haye you lost your mind? You dare to hit me? Believe it or not–I’ll go straight to Auri and tell her you hit me!” 

Phyllis‘ face was still flushed with anger as she scoffed, “I hit you because you don’t deserve to be a mother. I used to think that Auri should treat you all better since you’re her real family. But now it seems, blood relations aren’t important. You’re worse than animals, let alone worthy of any expectations!” 

Luna was planning to hit back. 

However, Phyllis reacted swiftly, managing to dodge and thus preventing Luna from succeeding in her 

attempt. 

-Phyllis, how dare you, a lowly worker, hit me!” Luna didn’t bother to hide her contempt for Phyllis. 

In her eyes, those who worked in the service industry were all beneath her. 

They were of low status, the common people at the very bottom of the social hierarchy. 

What good could come from someone like this raising a child? 

Phyllis sneered, “Regardless of what job I do, I have a clear conscience. But you, can your Leedon family honestly say the same about the money you’ve made from your business? Don’t put on airs in front of me -you’re neither qualified nor deserving!” 

After saying that, she left. 

As people with different principles could not get along together, it was obvious that she and Luna were very different people. 

“Wait, did I say you could leave? You haven’t told me who Auri is seeing.” Luna was on the verge of losing her composure, nearly forgetting why she had come to see Phyllis that day.

Upon hearing this, Phyllis raised her hand, ready to strike again.

“What are you doing? I can report you, you know? If you don’t want to lose your job, then tell me. Who is the man that Auri has been seeing?” Luna demanded. 

“There’s no such person! I know my daughter well–she would never be a mistress. Besides, Auri has 

always been smart since she was a child. She made it into Old Mr. Gardner’s team on her own. She doesn’t need to rely on anyone.” Phyllis spat before stepping into the elevator immediately after. 

Luna tried to follow her, determined to get an answer. 

But just as she took a step forward, she saw a familiar wealthy lady stepping out of the elevator. 

With a sense of reluctance, she could only hasten her departure. 

She then found a café nearby and sat inside. 

Just as she had settled down, a call from Melanie came through. 

“Mom, I just got off the plane.” 

“Have you met with Mr. Quigley? What did he say? Did he agree to help the Leedon family?” Luna asked. urgently. 

It wasn’t entirely clear who was backing Aurelia at the moment. In the entire city of Jacaster, there were only a handful of people who had the power to single–handedly help the Leedon family escape their predicament. 

She wished that Matthew would fall head over heels for Melanie at first sight and make Melanie Mrs. Quigley, 

Melanie felt a bit awkward, unsure of how to respond. She couldn’t reveal to Luna that the person Aurelia was relying on was Matthew. 

All she could say was, “Mom, I didn’t see Mr. Quigley. He’s been busy these past few days, leaving early and returning late. I’ve been waiting for him, but he never showed up. I didn’t dare to make my intentions too obvious, in case he noticed. I’m sorry, I failed. Mom, have you talked to Aunt Phyllis? What did she say?” 

Melanie tightly gripped her phone, unable to control her growing worry. 

She feared that Phyllis might have discovered something and then relayed it all to Luna. 

“She didn’t say anything. She’s so rude! Just the kind of crudeness you’d expect from a country bumpkin.” Luna raged. 

“Mom, don’t be upset. She hasn’t been in the city long after coming from the countryside. It’s only natural that she still behaves as if she’s back home. It’s not worth getting worked up over.” Melanie was grateful she wasn’t raised by Phyllis, or she’d be just as uncouth in Luna’s eyes. 

Luna took a deep breath. “All right, if Mr. Quigley doesn’t like you, it’s his loss. Our family has been going through some tough times recently, so let’s figure out a solution together. Benjamin has been living at the office. It’s heartbreaking to see. And your father, his hair has turned significantly greyer.” 

“Okay, Mom,”

“Also, shouldn’t you consider going to the hospital for a check–up? Aurelia has been so heartless, neglecting you like this. She didn’t even think to go to the hospital to donate blood for you.” Luna was clearly upset 

with Aurelia’s actions.. 

Just a couple of days ago, she had briefly felt guilty toward Aurelia. 

But now, she didn’t feel that way anymore, as Aurelia seemed more like she had come to collect a debt. 

In Luna’s heart, now and forever, there was only one daughter, Melanie.) 

“She probably won’t donate blood to me in the future,” Melanie said, biting her lip. 

Before, Melanie had been confident that Aurelia, in an effort to curry favor with her family, wouldn’t dare to offend her. 

But now… 

“She will. She’ll have to return home eventually, and when she does, she’ll have to take care of all her responsibilities,” Luna confidently stated. She was sure that Aurelia couldn’t be a kept woman forever and would be discarded soon. 

The thought of having a daughter who was once a kept woman before being abandoned filled Luna’s heart with a wave of annoyance. 

The private hospital Evelyn had arranged for them was not crowded in the morning. 

It protected patients‘ privacy well, making it popular with celebrities. 

Aurelia and Matthew each went their separate ways to undergo various examinations. 

After the check–ups, they had to wait for the results. 

That day, Aurelia had taken the day off and had some free time. Matthew had also cleared his schedule for the day. 

They went to have lunch together at the restaurant opposite the hospital. 

In a private room, they ordered barbecue with a mix of sweet and spicy sauces. 

“Is this all you’re going to eat?” Aurelia glanced at what Matthew had ordered. 

He ordered potato, broccoli, beef, and fresh pasta. 

What he ordered wasn’t typical barbecued meat. 

“Can I order beef bone marrow and pulled pork? Would you mind?” Aurelia glanced at the menu, her eyes lingering on the pulled pork, beef bone marrow, and chicken wings, secretly salivating. 

She usually had a particular fondness for barbecue, especially the kind that was tinglingly spicy. 

However, as she looked at Mathew, who was across the table in a business suit and looking every bit the corporate elite, she wondered if he Trequented barbecue restaurants much, especially after considering what he ordered. 

Matthew said. “Feel free to order whatever you want to eat.

Aurelia ordered a serving of everything she wanted to cat.

Her appetite would increase by two to three times whenever it came to barbecue, allowing her to eat much more than usual. 

After the spicy food was served, Aurelia noticed that Matthew didn’t seem to have a taste for spicy food. 

He didn’t even use the dipping sauce. 

Aurelia merely glanced at Matthew once before she began to indulge in the spicy beef, baby back ribs, and pulled pork she had ordered. 

“Later in the afternoon, ask the doctor if it’s okay to eat spicy food while preparing for pregnancy.” Matthew suddenly spoke up.
