CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Caleb's disdain was obvious, but compared to the dire situation Vera's family was facing, his scorn was nothing. Vera had already made up her mind-wherever Caleb went, she would follow.

After all, Caleb's father had made it clear-if she could win Caleb over, she would have free access to the Smith family's resources. More than that, Caleb's father promised her unconditional support.

Caleb never expected this. No matter how harshly he spoke, this woman still insisted on staying by his side!

His expression darkened. "What kind of deal did you strike with my father? Let me give you some advice -you'd better come clean before I investigate."

If Caleb wanted to dig into something, uncovering the truth would be effortless.

Rather than waiting for Caleb to investigate, Vera figured it was better to lay everything out herself.

"My family is facing some challenges," she admitted. "And your father just happened to be looking for a suitable match for you. That's when I stepped up. After all, our families have been connected for generations. Caleb, I don't care what your preferences were before. Now that I'm here, I won't let you choose another man."

Vera's stance was firm and unapologetic.

Caleb couldn't help but laugh at her words. "Do you have rocks for brains? What era are we living in, and you're still making these kinds of deals? You promised my father, but you still have to deliver before you get what you want. And yet, in a place like this, with so many people around, you couldn't find someone else to back you up?"
