Meet with Sarah

Thanks to information provided by one of her friends, Sarah managed to get the address of Sandy's best friend's house. It was a large, simple house in a beautiful neighborhood. Sarah smiled slyly as she looked at the house. One step away, she managed to find Lily hiding in there.

"I can't wait to see Lily's reaction. Will she be glaring or confused? Ryan, my poor husband Why aren't you smart? Lost to me, who only graduated from high school," Sarah muttered in a low voice.

She got out of her luxury car and entered Sandy's yard without permission. Coincidentally, Sandy's fence was unlocked, and Sarah slipped in without anyone knowing.

Sarah took off her glasses and stood proudly in front of the door of the minimalist-style house. Her lips quirked upwards, mocking the owner of the house in her mind's eye.

"A house like this must be very easy for Mr. Ryan to buy."

Sarah knocked twice on Sandy's door. On the third knock, someone opened it from inside. She prepared to greet Lily, who was probably opening the door.

"Who-" Lily's lips parted when she realized who had come. She quickly tried to close the door but was blocked by Sarah's foot.

"We meet again, Lily. How are you?" greeted Sarah, who forced her way into the house. Lily tried not to be afraid of Sarah's threats that came without permission. She made her face as flat as possible so that Sarah would not underestimate her.

"What do you want?" asked Lily in a snappy tone. Sarah pulled her upper lip. "Are you here to destroy me again?"

"Destroy you? Aren't you already destroyed? I just want to see how ruined your life is after losing the household you've always wanted," Sarah taunted.

Once again, without permission, she entered Sandy's house all the way to the kitchen. She still had that mocking smile on her face.

"I pity your friend; she's the one to rely on when times are tough. You don't have a house, money, or a steady job," Sarah quipped. Lily grabbed Sarah's hand and dragged her out.

"Get out of here, or I'll call you a thief. Hurry up!" shouted Lily in a harsh tone.

"Ow, don't be so fierce like that, Lily. I just want to"

The sound of a baby crying was heard. Lily looked frightened and quickly pushed Sarah's body out of the house. She quickly locked the door and ran into the room to see her two children crying.

Meanwhile, outside the house, Sarah, who heard the crying, suddenly fell silent. Her forehead wrinkled in disbelief at what she had just heard.

"The sound of a baby crying? Lily has a baby. Wait, her and Ryan's divorce only happened seven months ago, and she has a child now?" Sarah muttered. Her head was dizzy for a moment.

"Good news for Mr. Ryan."

Meanwhile, in the house, Lily immediately contacted Steve, who was still in the office. She was afraid that if Sarah told Ryan, everything would be revealed quickly. She was afraid that her two children would be forcibly taken by the Stewart family and made their heirs. No, Lily would not.

Steve arrived on time. As he entered the house, he saw Lily crying in the corner of the room with her legs crossed.

"Oh my God, Lily?" Steve pulled Lily's body up and picked her up. He laid Lily's cold body down and covered her with a thick cloth.

"Honey, what's wrong with you?" Steve patted Lily's cheek, which was also getting cold. "Honey, tell me about it."

"Sarah. Sarah was here, and she heard my baby crying." Lily began to sob. Steve clenched his fists, growling angrily at the sight of a terrified Lily.

"So, what did she do?" Lily shook her head.

"I'm scared; I'm scared he'll rat her out on Ryan. Then the Stewarts will take away their rights. I'm scared, Steve." Lily continued to babble. Steve immediately embraced Lily's tiny body and held her close.

"Don't be afraid; I'm here. I'll make sure he won't interfere until our wedding day next Sunday." Lily nodded. She calmed down after Steve's words of wisdom.

"I won't let the Stewart family touch our child, Lily. I promise."

How happy Sarah's heart was when she learned the one secret that would open the door to her desire to own all of Ryan's treasures without needing to expend any interest from within herself. Ah, how lucky she was.

"Mas Ryan, guess what I got today?"

Ryan, who had just gotten home from work, only glanced for a moment and then went into the room. He was too lazy to listen to Sarah's whining these days.

"I came to Sandy's house, and I found someone there." Sarah clung to Ryan's arm.

"What did you find?"

"Your ex-wife."

Ryan let go of Sarah's hand clinging to his arm. His eyebrows dipped sharply, trying to ask his wife through his eyes.

"What did you say? Ex-wife? Lily?" Ryan asked curiously. Sarah nodded and glanced indifferently at her husband. "Take me to her house."

"What are you going there for? Bringing her back again?"

"Gosh, no. I have an important mission from my father so that I can be promoted next year. The condition is that I have to find Lily so that she will sign the delegation of authority letter," Ryan said, making Sarah widen her eyes.

"Are you serious?"

"Seriously baby. You don't have to work anymore and will become the mistress of a wealthy CEO." Sarah smiled at that. Her dream will come true soon.

"We're going tomorrow, and there's one more thing you need to know. It will make you happier."

"What's that?" asked Ryan curiously.

"We don't have to have children because Lily has a child with you."

Ryan wrinkled his forehead. He didn't understand what Sarah was saying.

"What do you mean?"

"Lily has a child with you. There's no way she's married to Steve, is there? It's too short a distance."

Ryan was silent. His mind went back in time, seven months before his divorce from Lily.

"Was Lily pregnant during my divorce?" Ryan muttered.
