On the same day, Emily Flowers held a press conference and said that she would never acknowledge the baby in Lina’s stomach as the Stephenson family’s future heir. She also openly doubted that the baby in Lina’s stomach was not her son’s. At the same time, Emily Flowers stated that Lina was only a vain woman who thought she could get to the top with the baby in her stomach and she hoped her son would not be deceived again.
If her son persisted, she would use her ten percent shares in Stephenson Group to join forces with other shareholders to oppose her son from remaining as Stephenson Group’s president.
It was because a man fooled by a woman was no longer fit to
be president.
Emily Flowers made an impassioned speech at the press conference, saying that she must protect Stephenson Group, which was left by her late husband. Even though Hadwin Stephenson was her own son, she could not sit idly by and watch her son destroy the company.

“Alright, don’t look at me like that. It’s as if I’m pathetic.” Hadwin Stephenson looked at the woman before him, who seemed like she was about to burst into tears. He said, “I don’t mind being a pawn. Even if I’m going to be someone’s pawn someday, I’ll probably be willing.”
After so many years, he was used to having his mother treat him like a pawn. They had never been close anyway.
Even now, how was he not Lina’s pawn? Even though she said nothing, he was willing to fight for her. If she was going to use him one day, then… all she needed to do was ask him. He would be willing to do it.
The next moment, those slender arms were wrapped around him with such force that her melodious voice broke a little.
“You’re not a pawn. You’re you, not anyone’s pawn!”
