Now, seeing Bet and Yvonne finally get their happy ending was something they were both thrilled about.


    Yvonne continued chatting with Monica. Meanwhile, Bet was keeping Emmapany.


    Emma didn''t look well, but it had nothing to do with Mr. Cooper.


    She had only met Mr. Cooper a few times to have dresses made—it was a simple business transaction. Her presence at the funeral was more than enough to show her respect for the Cooper family.


    Emma''s distress was over Ynda''s pregnancy.


    "You must have heard about Ynda''s pregnancy."


    "Yes," Bet replied casually. His informationwork was extensive, so he had known for a while. But he hadn''t given it much thought. After all, it wasn''t his child, so it had nothing to do with him.


    "That old hag is now parading around, announcing that Eden is going to give the Thompson family a precious new heir. This time, her demands are outrageous-she actually wants half of the Thompson Group''s shares."


    Emma fumed.


    Bet said, "They want a lot of things. None of them havee true, have they?" "What do you know? Old people always dote on their grandchildren. Once Ynda''s baby is born, who knows, your father might treat it like a priceless treasure."


    Bet said, "Well, we''ll have to wait until it''s actually born, won''t we?"


    Vincent had fertility issues, and Ynda''s health had been fragile since birth. If she had been born into an ordinary family, she would have died young.


    Vincent had kept Ynda alive all this time at the expense of others'' lives. But that didn''t mean she could get married and have children like a normal person.


    Pregnancy is a difficult journey. Even healthy women can faceplications during the ten months of carrying a child, let alone someone like Ynda who had undergone two major surgeries.


    Whether Ynda could carry the baby to term, and whether the baby would be healthy, were still big unknowns. Mrs. Thompson Sr. was celebrating far too early.


    Honestly, Bet couldn''t understand why Ynda didn''t opt for surrogacy if she wanted a child. She must have some kind of obsession.


    Emma hadn''t considered all that. Her biggest worry was that if Eden


    its


    a child, it


    and Ynda actually hosition in


    would threaten Bet''s position in the Thompson family.


    After all, there were no male heirs in the next generation of the Thompson family


    yet. Even if Frank didn''t care, Mr. Thompson Sr. was anxious.


    The older generation had a particr fixation on boys.


    Mr. Thompson Sr. disliked the illegitimate Eden because the family already had Noah and Bet, two


    legitimate grandsons, so an Hegitimate one was out of the


    question.


    But the Thompson family still had no great-grandchildren. What if the old man, in his


    senility, decided to officially recognize Eden''s child?


    "Whether Ynda has the baby or not is out of my hands. But you and that Yvonne are about to get your license, aren''t you? Hurry up and have a child. Don''t let an illegitimate son get the upper hand,” Emoma urged.


    Bet, weary of being pressured to have kids, could only respond with silence.


    After seeing Emma off, Bet went to find Yvonne.


    Yvonne had already parted ways with Monica.


    Monica was a university professor and had a ss that afternoon, so she had to


    rush back to campus.


    "Mrs. Moore left?" Yvonne asked.


    Bet nodded. "She has an interview this afternoon."


    They walked to the parking spot. Bet opened the passenger door and helped Yvonne into the car.


    The car smoothly merged onto the main road, heading toward Cherry Bay.


    "Now that Director Ward''s movie has finally wrapped, do you have any other workmitments?" Bet asked, his hands on the steering wheel.
