Chapter 352 Fooled!
Francesca just stared at Bradley; she wasn't exactly stupid.
When Paige was sent to the hospital earlier, Bradley rushed over, and she was heartbroken, ignoring many details.
Thinking back now, after hearing Paige's identity, Bradley actually showed a look of joy about her and Raymond's marriage.
This wasn't a normal reaction for a grandfather, let alone a father.
How could a normal father tolerate his son marrying his granddaughter?
Francesca suddenly stood up. "Bradley..."
Bradley sighed and didn't immediately share much information with Francesca. He just comforted her, saying, "Just relax. It's a good thing for our family to be reunited. The child in Paige's belly must not be harmed. Francesca, although I can't quite understand why you swapped Paige out, now that the children's identities have been restored, the next step is to bring Paige home. Do not interfere with the child in Paige's belly anymore. The child's identity is more noble than you can imagine. If anything happens, the Carnegie family can't afford it!"
With Bradley's words, Francesca's body wobbled, and she sat down.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Francesca realized something.
Raymond's identity had hidden secrets.
Francesca's chest heaved with intense emotion.
She had exhausted herself to pave a normal path, enduring all the pain of mother-daughter separation, just to live a slightly more ordinary life.
But ultimately, she couldn't fight fate.
Bradley's hesitant words indicated that Raymond's identity was extraordinary.
Francesca grew increasingly worried. What would happen if Paige got caught up in an uncontrollable situation?
Bradley's words only temporarily relieved Francesca from the tension between Paige and Raymond.
But another tension and unknown danger loomed again.
Bradley was still hurt by Francesca's decision to swap out Paige.
He couldn't help but ask, "Francesca, did you really send Paige away just because you wanted a son? The Carnegie family has never had such thoughts."
Francesca replied, "I had no choice. Whether she was a boy or a girl, the result would be the same. Please don't ask, okay?"
Bradley sighed, "Alright, take care of your health. What could be more important than that?"
After having the doctor check on Francesca, Bradley talked for a while longer and then left.
Francesca didn't dare rest for a second and immediately ordered her trusted aides to clean house.
She had Bradley's spies on her side.
Such people couldn't be kept.
Otherwise, whatever she did next would be inconvenient and easily known to Bradley.
Meanwhile, Paige was in the dressing room, with Pearl bringing her outfits to choose from.
Pearl showed Paige a professional outfit and said, "For your first appearance at the company, especially to clean up a mess, I think this will make you look very authoritative and professional."
Paige nodded, "Black, it's good. I like it."
After the email was sent, the Universe Group was in turmoil, and it was now a mess.
The time was ripe; it was time for Paige to appear.
Dressed in a professional suit and well-rested for two days, Paige looked great. Wearing high heels, she stood there, exuding confidence and authority.
No one could tell she had just been through an emotional and physical low.
Pearl looked at Paige and thought, 'Mr. Ellison has a good eye. This is truly impressive!'
Someone who could control their emotions to such an extreme degree—if she didn't succeed, who would?
Since arriving here, Paige hadn't left the villa, partly to protect the pregnancy and avoid giving Cecil more work to cover her tracks.
But now, she had to go to the Universe Group, and her whereabouts would inevitably be exposed.
But she was ready.
Paige no longer drove herself recklessly on the road.
Pearl had already prepared the car, with the seats adjusted for comfort.
Even though Paige insisted on working, she was still pregnant and had shown signs of a threatened miscarriage before.
Since they wanted this child, the entire team had to be absolutely attentive.
Not a single mistake was allowed!
The car drove into the Universe Group's underground garage. The driver opened the door, and Pearl got out first, then helped Paige out.
The others followed.
Cecil unlocked the CEO's private elevator, and Paige's group went straight from the garage to the top floor of the Universe Group's Arcadia branch, to the CEO's office.
At the same time, all the senior executives of the group received a meeting invitation from the CEO's office including Andrew himself.
Andrew looked at the meeting invitation and angrily scolded his subordinates in the office.
He thought it was a mistake by his subordinates, but after they explained, Andrew suddenly realized.
The email came from the higher authority of the CEO's office.
Andrew was stunned. "Xanthe Ellison? It's Xanthe Ellison! Where is she?"
Andrew roared, and his subordinates hurried in. "I told you to investigate. Didn't you say Xanthe Ellison was recuperating in Northwind? What's going on? Why is there a meeting notice from the highest authority?"
The subordinates replied, "Ms. Ellison is indeed recuperating in Northwind. No one has seen her since the car accident."
Before the subordinate could finish, Andrew realized he might have been tricked.
Xanthe Ellison was very cunning.
From the first time he saw her at the Hawke Corporation's anniversary, Andrew knew she was extraordinary.
He didn't expect that while he was on guard, she had quietly made her move.
Just as Andrew angrily swept everything off his desk.
The elevator to the CEO's office opened, and Paige stepped out with a strong stride, followed by her four-person team in a row.
The group exuded a powerful aura, and everyone in the cubicles outside the CEO's office looked over and immediately stood up.
Paige walked to the CEO's office door and saw Andrew angrily flipping the desk.
He had just realized he had been tricked, and the next second, she was standing in front of him.
Seeing the mess in Andrew's office, Paige said, "Mr. Andrew, moving offices so soon? But it's fine, I'm back! It's no longer appropriate for you to stay in this office!"
Andrew gritted his teeth and glared at her as he walked over. "Xanthe Ellison, it's you, you're the one causing trouble! All the recent schemes, it's all you, isn't it?"
Paige smiled lightly, exuding nobility and an unattainable aura.
Her voice wasn't loud but was firm and powerful. "Mr. Andrew, calling me by my first name is very rude. Have you forgotten? I am the sole heir of the Ellison family and your master! Have you ever seen a vassal call their master by their first name? Please change your address and call me Ms. Ellison!"
