Inside the Hodgson Group.
The crystal chandelier reflected cold, harsh light, Matilda, rarely wearing flat shoes, marched aggressively towards the front desk.
The receptionist unconsciously showed a standard smile, but it froze instantly when she saw the person’s face clearly.
The recently controversial “the Hodgson Group’s almost fiancee” is standing in front of me right now with a hostile attitude.
“I wanted to see Roderick.”
Matilda’s fingers, painted with burgundy nail polish, tapped heavily on the marble countertop.
“Sorry miss, Mr. Hodgson’s meetings need to be scheduled in advance.”
The front desk responded with an official answer.
During the morning meeting, the director made a special reminder.
“All visitors recently were strictly processed according to the procedure, especially Ms. Turner, do not let her pass.”
“Appointment?”
Matilda raised her eyebrows.
“Do you know who I am? I am Roderick’s fiancee!”
As soon as the words fell, two bodyguards in black suits silently

surrounded.
Matilda gritted her teeth and gave them a fierce glare.
Good for you, Roderick, guarding me like guarding against thieves.
She tried to push her way through, but the bodyguard stopped her with a hand.
“Ms. Turner, please make an appointment first.”
Matilda staggered two steps, anger flashing on her carefully made–up face.
“Did you dare touch me?”
She suddenly clutched her stomach and raised her voice.
“I was pregnant with Mr. Hodgson’s baby! If anything happened, who *could afford to take responsibility?”
The sentence hit the lobby like a heavy hammer. The bodyguard who was holding her shoulder withdrew his hand as if shocked, and there was a chaotic request on the walkie–talkie.
Matilda flashed a triumphant smile and quickly squeezed onto the
elevator.
Two bodyguards looked at her arrogant attitude, hesitated, and ultimately didn’t dare to bring her back.
The top–level air pressure was incredibly low.
When Matilda kicked/open the CEO’s office door, Roderick was flipping through the quarterly financial report.
The cold white light fell on his sharp jawline, making his glasses

gleam with a cold light.
“Roderick!”
She slammed the pregnancy test results on the table, no sugarcoating
“I was pregnant, you had to take responsibility.”
The pen twirled half a circle in Roderick’s fingers, and he calmly closed the file.
“Responsible?”
The ending carried a casual sarcasm.
“That day, I didn’t even touch you.”
Matilda stared at the man, her mouth twitching violently. He spoke with a hint of sarcasm, like a sharp blade stabbing fiercely at her heart.
“It doesn’t matter if you actually touched me or not, what matters is that your dad and the internet both think we’ve already had sex.”
She tried to maintain her composure, but under the man’s ambiguous gaze, she felt a cold sweat on her back.
“Dare to do but dare not admit, you the Hodgson family should not be able to afford to lose face, right?”
Roderick squinted his eyes, the gaze behind the lenses was like a poisoned dagger.
“Threatening me?”
Matilda gave a charming smile.
“It’s an invitation.”

“Did this incident bring a lot of negative impact to the Hodgson Group? As long as you marry me, won’t all the scandals be resolved?”
She paused, emphasizing.
“Roderick, this was a win–win deal, the Turner family definitely benefited, but you also came out ahead.”
Roderick mercilessly sneered, with a clear disdain in his eyes.
“Why do you think I, Roderick, would marry a woman who is full of schemes and incredibly stupid?”
“All the things you did, full of loopholes. If I post all this evidence online, do you think your Turner family’s stock market can stay stable for how long?”
