Chapter 906
Shawn furrowed his brows, “What’s with the pregnancy test in the bathroom?”
Lucilla kept her mouth shut.
Shawn frowned, “I’m asking you, what’s going on?”
Lucilla’s eyes welled up, she mumbled, “I’m not sure, I’ve been feeling sick lately, and a coworker asked if I was pregnant. I was scared, sol bought a test…”
“I didn’t expect this…” she cried, her face streaked with tears, “Mr. Campbell I’m scared.”
Shawn watched her teary–eyed, his heart pounding
She looked just like Caitlyn did when she cried back in school. It softened his heart.
Would they be where they were now if Caitlyn had depended on him like this girl does? He loved her the most, so why did she betray him?
Shawn hugged Lucilla tightly and patted her shoulder gently, “Don’t worry, let’s go to the hospital and have a check–up. If you are pregnant, we’ll have the baby.”
“How can I have a baby? You have a wife, how can I raise a child? I don’t want to be labelled as a home–wrecker, I don’t want my child to be born
out of wedlock.”
This put Shawn in a tough spot
Helen was also pregnant, and if he let Lucilla keep the baby, Helen would throw a fit. But he didn’t want Lucilla to have an abortion either
With Lucilla looking so much like Caitlyn, this child seemed like a chance to fill the void of not having a child with Caitlyn.
Lucilla looked at Shawn, sobbing softly, “Mr. Campbell, I know where I stand, and I never thought I could keep this baby, I’m just scared of the operation, I don’t want to put you in a difficult spot.”
Shawn’s heart softened.
He held Lucilla and comforted her gently, “Just give me some time to think. Let’s get you checked out first, confirm if you’re pregnant.”
Lucilla nodded obediently, snuggling into Shawn’s arms and whispered, “I wonder if it’s a boy or a girl.”
Shawn blinked but didn’t answer.
Celeste returned to the set after a day off
Unexpectedly, she hadn’t seen Naomi that day.
Javier said she had taken a leave of absence, and everyone discussed during their breaks that Naomi was being audited by the tax department.
“Naomi really has guts, after the industry–wide tax self–check a few years ago, everyone coughed up over 10 billion. It was a warning, and she stil dared to evade taxes, doesn’t she care about her career?”
“She relies on her sugar daddy. As long as he’s okay, money isn’t a problem. Even if she’s caught evading taxes, there’s someone to take care of her We should be more concerned about our own bonuses this month.”
“I really hope her bad deeds get exposed. She’s always the most troublesome when it comes to makeup. I’ve never seen anyone so picky.”
“Keep your voice down, if she hears, she’ll make trouble for you.”
Celeste sipped her water and thought, “This is karma.”
But soon, she found out that things were even worse than just rumors.
Before the whispers on the set had died down, news broke online about Naomi being kept by a man. Then, less than two days later, an official notice declared someone had evaded over 10 million dollars in taxes and had to pay up.
While everyone was still guessing if it was Naomi, the brands she endorsed announced they were severing ties with her, and then her Twitter account was suspended
