Chapter 374: Chapter 374

Ever since that day, Austin Xavier never came to see Rose Payne again.

But he arranged a place for her to stay, which made Rose still hold onto fantasies about him.

If he really didn’t care, why would he settle her down so well?

Rose waited for Austin Xavier to come find her.

However, no matter how long she waited, Austin never came to see her again.

She started to get a bit impatient and wanted to contact Austin, but she didn’t have his contact information.

She was now eager for Julian Hawthorne to know that she was pregnant, because Paige Sterling might not be able to have children and was so domineering that it might prevent Julian from ever becoming a father.

But now things were different. She had Julian’s child; Julian would surely take it seriously.

Knowing this child existed would definitely make Julian overjoyed.

Julian would certainly protect her and wouldn’t let Paige know of her existence, given that Paige was so vicious and would stop at nothing to eliminate her and the baby if she found out about the pregnancy.

But no matter what, Rose would fight to the death to keep this child and would never let Paige’s wicked scheme succeed.

One day, she believed she would be able to make Julian Hawthorne abandon the malicious Paige and marry her, giving her and the child a rightful status.

Thinking of the scene where she, Julian, and the child would be a happy family of three, Rose couldn’t help but get excited.

However, being with Julian would inevitably let down Austin Xavier. She hoped Austin could understand her choice, bless her and Julian, and silently protect her in another way for a lifetime.

In her anxious wait, Rose finally received a call from Austin Xavier, asking her to go to the Hawthorne Group.

Of course, Rose couldn’t get into the Hawthorne Group, so Austin said he would come later.

Finally, she could see the light of day. Rose left home joyfully and headed to the Hawthorne Group.

At the moment, she felt like she was the future mistress of the Hawthorne Family and the future lady boss of the Hawthorne Group, believing the entire Hawthorne Group would be hers. She instantly forgot that she was not anything at all yet. Thus, as soon as she arrived at the Hawthorne Group, she arrogantly lifted her chin and said she wanted to see Julian Hawthorne.

The receptionist politely asked, "Miss, do you have an appointment?"

Rose frowned, feeling that the receptionist was being uncooperative.

Who was she? The future wife of Julian Hawthorne, the future lady boss of this group, and her child would be the heir to this billion-dollar group. Did she really need an appointment?

She glanced at the receptionist sideways, saying, "I’ve come to see Mr. Hawthorne; I don’t need an appointment."

She flicked her hair, deciding to give these oblivious staff a hint, "My relationship with Mr. Hawthorne is quite extraordinary. Not just you, but even Secretary Jones by Mr. Hawthorne’s side has no right to stop me. Just lead the way for me, and Mr. Hawthorne won’t blame you. On the contrary, he would reward you."

Is this woman out of her mind? She had never seen such a woman appear around President Hawthorne.

Moreover, judging from her tone, she seemed to imply some intimate relationship with Julian Hawthorne.

Everyone knew their President Hawthorne was married to President Sterling on the seventeenth floor; they were very much in love. If this woman’s nonsense were overheard by President Sterling, wouldn’t it cause marital discord?

But no matter how outrageous the other person was, the staff remained very polite, maintaining a perfect professional smile.

"I’m sorry, miss, I’m just following company regulations. If you know President Hawthorne, could you call his personal number? Once he approves, I’ll personally escort you up."

Whether someone was familiar with President Hawthorne could be easily known by having his personal number.

But clearly, Rose wasn’t that familiar, as she indeed didn’t have Julian’s personal number.

However, in Rose’s view, whether she had Julian’s personal number wasn’t the most important thing. The most important thing was the child in her belly. As long as she met with Julian and told him she was pregnant, what was a personal number?

In the future, these blind staff would have to bow down to her. If she found them pleasing to the eye, she could have them kicked out of Hawthorne Group with just a word.

Hmph! Looking quite like a vixen, blocking her from seeing Julian. Maybe she’s trying to seduce Julian.

Such women with ulterior motives shouldn’t be kept in the company, or they’ll ruin the atmosphere. She must remember to warn Julian in the future.

But for now, she needed to make these people know that they had offended someone who could control their future.

"If I’m the one who still needs to make the call, then what are you here for?" Rose fumed, "Does Hawthorne Group pay you just to stand here and prance around? You can’t even do your basic job. Believe it or not, I’ll tell Mr. Hawthorne and have you fired immediately?"

The receptionist’s face twitched harder, suspecting she was dealing with a madwoman, almost ready to call security.

Nevertheless, even as an ordinary receptionist, she was very professionally trained.

"Then please wait a moment, miss, while we call the secretary office for President Hawthorne."

The receptionist called the secretary office, asked for Rose’s name, and finally hung up the phone, still with a kind smile.

"I’m very sorry, miss. The secretary office said that no unauthorized personnel can go up to disturb President Hawthorne’s work. Please leave."

Really thought she was someone important, as it turns out she’s truly out of her mind, coming to Hawthorne Group and arrogantly bossing people around.

They actually called her an unauthorized person? Did these women even know whom they offended today?

Rose’s face turned grim with anger, nearly about to reveal her identity, so these people would greatly regret it.

But at this moment, she saw Austin Xavier arriving belatedly.

Rose’s eyes immediately reddened, as if she had suffered a great injustice and needed Austin to stand up for her.

"Young Master Xavier, you’re finally here..." The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁

She ran towards Austin, and in her haste, she tripped and fell directly towards him.

A beautiful woman was rushing toward him, and at such times, any man wouldn’t bear to watch this woman get hurt; they would reach out to save her.

However, Austin did not. He didn’t even take into account that Rose was pregnant, expressionlessly sidestepping her.

Just like avoiding something dirty, he showed no sympathy at all.

After all, it wasn’t his child.

And so, Rose fell to the ground.

Rose was dumbfounded. As she was falling, she assumed Austin would catch her, so she didn’t even think to save herself and let herself fall as she wished. It would also show these judgmental people that she could capture both Julian’s and Austin’s hearts, showing an extraordinary relationship with them.

But she didn’t expect Austin to be so ruthless as to sidestep her.
