Chapter 43 Punishment for You

"Simon!"

Elisa walked towards him with gritted teeth, almost pointing her finger at him. "What do you mean by this?"

"Punishment for you," Simon replied casually.

Elisa felt that he was unreasonable and angrily turned to leave, but Simon stopped her again.

"You're here already, why not have some food?"

Elisa looked at him suspiciously, wondering if he was being kind enough to offer her a meal because she was pregnant?

"You are pregnant and cannot let your child go hungry in your stomach, right?" Simon said persuasively, making it hard to guess his thoughts.

For the sake of the child, Elisa decided to take a few bites. It must be said that the food ordered by Simon tasted really good. After all, as such a picky person himself, his requirements for food must be very high.

After eating and drinking their fill, Elisa took the initiative to clean up the dishes and cutlery. However, Simon handed her a pile of documents confidently and said: "Are you full now? These files need to be sorted out tonight; I'll need them tomorrow morning."

Looking at the stack of documents over ten centimeters high in front of her made Elisa's jaw drop in surprise.

"I only had one meal with you; are you planning on making me work overnight with so many documents?" she asked incredulously.

"It depends on how fast you can work," shrugged Simon before returning to his room for another video conference call.

Elisa looked at the pile of materials with a headache. She thought that accidentally vomiting on him would not lead to such torture from Simon. But these were financial materials related to what she majored in college; they weren't difficult for her.

However,since becoming pregnant recently,she always felt sleepy after writing just one word.

The next day, Simon woke up early and planned to go to the living room to check on Elisa's task. However, he found her sleeping on top of the pile of documents with only a thin T-shirt on.

Thinking about her pregnancy, Simon couldn't help but feel pity for her and carried her horizontally back to his bed. The warmth left by Simon was still present in the blanket; Elisa murmured something before comfortably snuggling into it.

Simon involuntarily bent his mouth upwards as he tucked her in properly. But then he suddenly realized that she wasn't carrying his child; why should he take care of her?

So he turned around and went straight to the living room to check on the stack of materials assigned for Elisa.

To his surprise, not only did Elisa carefully categorize everything, but she also found loopholes in some financial data files and analyzed several stocks' development trends.

How could someone who graduated from an ordinary vocational college know so much?

Simon began doubting her education again and immediately ordered David: "Get me Hillary's information from childhood until now."

Ten minutes later, David sent over Hillary's information via email. As Simon scrolled down through it,his face grew darker because Hillary had been academically hopeless since childhood.

She barely passed middle school after repeating two years due to poor grades,and even skipped classes when she finally made it into high school.She was expelled due to bad influence caused by dating,and rumor has it that even getting into that vocational college required money from parents.

Simon just couldn't understand how two sisters growing up together could have such different experiences like this.Hillary’s growth experience was so chaotic that it was unbearable for him just looking at it!

Looking at what notes she took while working with those documents,it seemed like pure luck rather than actual knowledge or skills.Simon felt annoyed as he collected all the files. Did he still have any expectations for her?

But at that moment, there was a muffled sound coming from the bathroom, like...the sound of someone falling.

It was Hillary!
