Chapter 677
“Sie, since Dad is hospitalized, I'll temporarily hand over some matters to you.” Leo suddenly patted the back of her hand. “I'll have my assistant report everything to you from now on.”
Sie immediately felt a headache coming on. “Dad, you're forcing me to manage the Leo Group.”
“How is it forcing you?” Leo looked at her earnestly. “You are my daughter, the heiress of the Leo Group. You will no longer be seen as an illegitimate child. In all of Madison, there isn't a man who isn't good enough for you. That Megan can't even compare to you.”
Sie suddenly understood.
A warm feeling flowed through her heart.
No need to guess, Leo must have found out about Joseph's upcoming marriage and didn't want her to be overshadowed. The heiress of the Leo Group, the future successor—this honor and status are far beyond what Megan can compare to. No matter how capable Megan is, she's just a psychologist. The Zenith Group would have collapsed long ago without Joseph's support, and Nathan is even more insignificant.
“Don't worry, you'll find someone better in the future. My daughter is so beautiful, capable, and wealthy; there aren't many in Madison who can compare.” Leo encouraged with a smile.
“Thanks, Dad. I've always been confident in myself. Anyone who misses out on me has no vision.”
“That's good.”
At four in the afternoon.
When Sie went downstairs to the lobby to pick up medicine and came back up, she happened to see Athena accompanying Megan out of the obstetrics and gynecology department.
Megan was wearing a white dress, attracting the attention of both men and women in the hospital. Sie, on the other hand, had been taking care of Leo in the hospital all day yesterday, so she hadn't changed her clothes, was bare-faced, and her hair was slightly messy. She looked very tired.
Comparing herself to Sie, Megan felt extremely smug, but she didn't show it on her face. “Hi, Sie, what brings you to the hospital? Are you not feeling well?”
Sie gave her a glance and walked upstairs, too tired to bother with her. She had been taking care of Leo all day and was exhausted, with no time to entertain her performance.
“Hey, stop right there. How can you be so rude?” Athena shouted. “Didn't you hear Megan talking to you?”
“Who does Megan think she is that I need to answer her questions?” Sie stopped in the hallway, looking at the two with a slightly annoyed expression.
“You…” Athena was furious.
Megan held Athena back and said softly, “Sie, I know you hate me. Whether you believe it or not, I was ready to accept you. Honestly, I love Joseph so much that I was willing to share him with you.”
Sie was deeply disgusted by Megan. “Thanks, but I have no intention of sharing my husband. I'm afraid of getting sick.”
Megan's face changed slightly, and she lowered her head. “How can you say such humiliating things? If you love someone, shouldn't you truly accept them?”
As she spoke, Megan touched her belly. “Like me, I've already planned to have many children for Joseph. Today, I came to the hospital to consider IVF for twins or triplets.”
Athena laughed. “Joseph heard that you wanted at least two children and was worried that two pregnancies would be hard on you, so he suggested IVF. He's already arranged for Lucas to bring in the best fertility team in the country for you.”
“Athena…” Megan looked at her with a shy yet reproachful glance.
