Chapter 36 How Did You Get Hurt
After hanging up the phone, Megan's lips curled into a triumphant smile. Her hand clenched into a fist as she looked ahead, a challenge burning in her eyes. "Brooklyn, do you dare to challenge me? Well, let's see who will succeed and who will fail."
Brooklyn hadn't fathered any children in recent years, while Megan was pregnant with Sebastian's child. Even Brian and Jennifer seemed less cold towards her than before.
Megan mused, "Brooklyn, who do you think you are? Soon, you will forever leave the Kingsley family and leave Sebastian."
Meanwhile, in the top floor president's office of the MBK Building.
Dario stood before Sebastian's desk, reporting what he had witnessed and awaiting his orders in silence.
Sebastian flipped through several pages of documents, signing his name swiftly. He then picked up the coffee cup next to him, taking a sip and letting the aroma of the coffee disperse in his mouth.
"It's time to warn him a little."
A frigid, haughty light flickered in the depths of Sebastian's eyes.
Dario, swallowing his apprehension, nodded in agreement. "Mr. Kingsley," he began, "Mr. Quinn is still young, still immature. Perhaps he meant no harm. Might it be best to let him off the hook this time?"
Sebastian's gaze swept over him, and Dario found he had lost his voice.
After a moment, Sebastian spoke again. "Megan is at Bayside Villas."
Dario's eyes widened in shock. "Mr. Kingsley, you've allowed Ms. Turner to go to the villa?" He suddenly remembered the red Ferrari he had seen earlier when he dropped off Brooklyn. It had been Megan's.
Sebastian's gaze was steady. "You've been at my side for quite some time, Dario. Why do you still lose your composure in the face of unexpected situations?"
Dario swallowed hard. "Mr. Kingsley, don't you long for a peaceful life? You're setting up a meeting between Mrs. Kingsley and Ms. Turner. Are you prepared to lose that house?"
In his mind, Dario imagined a catastrophic scene. 'If those two women start fighting, the sky might be punctured with a gaping hole. Mr. Kingsley, you are truly brave.'
Sebastian set down his coffee cup and calmly opened another document. "She was openly affectionate with my brother. I asked Megan to give her a warning. Is there a problem?"
Dario was left speechless, marveling at Sebastian's audacious logic. "Mr. Kingsley, isn't that a bit harsh? Mrs. Kingsley is still recovering from a serious injury. If they were to fight, Mrs. Kingsley would be at a disadvantage." His voice was laced with worry.
Sebastian responded nonchalantly. "If she's capable of making mistakes, she should be capable of facing the consequences."
And as for Brooklyn, he had no doubt she could hold her own. He didn't believe for a moment that she could lose.
Dario hesitated, then suggested anxiously, "Mr. Kingsley, perhaps I should make a phone call, just in case they start fighting."
Sebastian's cold gaze silenced him. "Why are you so eager to intervene?"
Dario took a deep breath. "Mr. Kingsley, she is your wife, after all..."
Sebastian slammed the files onto the desk. "If she remembered that she was my wife, she wouldn't have..." His anger flared, but he managed to restrain himself. He waved his hand dismissively. "Leave."
"Yes, Mr. Kingsley, perhaps you should check on her."
A few hours later, the news broke.
"Top celebrity Megan was surrounded by reporters today when she appeared at a high-end hotel with her manager. In a desperate attempt to quell the media frenzy, her manager revealed Megan's pregnancy. Is Megan really pregnant? Or is this just a rumor?"
"Megan has temporarily halted the filming of her new movie, leaving the director in the lurch, due to her pregnancy!"
"Over the past three years, Megan has broken up with Sebastian Kingsley, the CEO of MBK Group, multiple times. Now, it seems she has finally succeeded. Megan is carrying Mr. Kingsley's child. Will she become a member of the Kingsley family?"
"Megan's pregnancy has been confirmed by the hospital. Insiders revealed that Megan recently visited the Obstetrics Department at Aucester Hospital for a check-up and pregnancy confirmation."
The news of Megan's pregnancy quickly became the top trending topic on the internet. Everyone was discussing it.
"Megan is pregnant."
"Megan and Sebastian finally have proof of their love."
"Sebastian is going to be a dad."
The news spread like wildfire, dominating every webpage. In less than thirty minutes, Megan and Sebastian's names had surpassed a billion searches and clicks.
Dario's voice was hoarse as he burst into the CEO's office, ignoring Sebastian's disdainful expression. "Mr. Kingsley, something has happened! Open your computer and look at the news immediately!"
Sebastian regarded him coldly. "What's the matter?"
Dario was frantic, his anger barely contained. "Mr. Kingsley, you...you need to...look at the news."
He wanted to chastise Sebastian. "How could you make such a common mistake?"
Impatiently, Sebastian scrolled through the news with his mouse and saw the headline that dominated the entire page. In the accompanying photo, Megan wore a mask and a baseball cap as she entered the hotel under Valery's protection.
The headline was eye-catching.
"Megan is pregnant. She will soon become a member of the Kingsley family."
"Although she's carrying Sebastian's child, she dares not admit it. Megan has sacrificed too much for love."
Sebastian touched his forehead. "She's pregnant?"
Sebastian showed no signs of impatience. Looking at him, Dario was on the verge of tears. "Mr. Kingsley, what should we do? Reporters have blocked the entrance of the building. You're a celebrity now!"
Sebastian tapped his finger on the desk, keeping a steady rhythm. "Call Megan."
"Are you going to see her? If you do, it will be a public announcement that you are the father of her child."
Dario thought, "Mr. Kingsley, please don't do anything foolish!"
Sebastian raised an eyebrow and asked, "What? Aren't you going to congratulate me? I'm going to be a father."
