CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

That was why Mr. Lucas was so furious and displeased when Ben so casually brought Jamie, an "outsider," into his private space.

"Do older people all lose their sense of reasoning? I've already told you that Jamie isn't an outsider," Ben sneered, his tone sharp with ridicule.

Ben let out a dry chuckle, his expression practically screaming, "You're not just irrational, you're deaf too."

Jamie quickly realized something was wrong. She rushed to press the call button, summoning the medical staff.

Ben kept his gaze lowered, lost in thought.
