CHAPTER 887: CHAPTER 887: DO YOU THINK BEARING HIS CHILD WILL ELEVATE YOUR STATUS?

The next day.

After finishing her simple tasks, on her way back to Crimson Hill Villa, Nora Northwood suddenly had the urge to visit the Sinclair Group.

So, she instructed Francis, "Make a U-turn at the next intersection, we’re going to the Sinclair Group."

"Understood."

At the front entrance of the Sinclair Group, Nora saw someone she hadn’t seen in a long time.

"Nora, long time no see!"

Rachel Woodward’s voice was very cheerful, with a warm smile on her face, giving off a pleasant vibe, as if they were close friends.

Nora scrutinized her carefully and noticed that Rachel’s former arrogance was gone.

At this moment, Rachel was dressed in work attire with a wool coat draped over her, yet it couldn’t hide her curvaceous figure.

She looked ten times better than she did before her pregnancy.

Wait... pregnancy!

Why was Rachel’s stomach flat?

Nora paused for a moment, calculating the days in her mind, realizing that it had been over a year since that unforeseen event.

According to the timeline of a ten-month pregnancy, Rachel should be in confinement, so why was she out working?

For Nora, this wasn’t a comforting realization.

Instinctively, she took a step back, her brows furrowed tightly.

Not many people knew about Rachel’s pregnancy; she and the Sinclair Family had agreed not to disclose it temporarily.

The first three months are an unstable period, and the number of people aware of this could be counted on two hands.

Nora naturally assumed that the person in front of her was among those unsure and unaware, yet her subconscious gesture of touching her abdomen didn’t escape Rachel’s eyes.

As someone who had "been there," Rachel was very aware of what that action meant.

After a long silence, Nora asked, "Why are you here?"

"Of course, I’m here to work."

Saying this, Rachel lifted her work badge.

Nora had seen the Sinclair Group’s work badges and confirmed there was no indication of deception.

But how did Rachel manage to enter the Sinclair Group?

While Nora hesitated, Rachel spoke up, clearing her doubts, "The Woodward Family went bankrupt, but what I learned since childhood hasn’t disappeared. Besides, with my cousin’s connection, getting into the Sinclair Group was easy."

Rachel’s words were filled with references to Jasper Sinclair.

They say pregnancy causes a ’baby brain.’

Nora completely ignored another fact: for a basic employee, hiring or firing doesn’t need to be reported to the top leaders.

Jasper was completely unaware of Rachel’s employment.

She hadn’t been working there for long, even counting on her fingers it was less than a week.

As for herself, she intentionally avoided Jasper.

So, in the past week, they had hardly encountered each other.

Due to this information gap, Nora believed her words.

"It’s working hours now, since you’re employed at the Sinclair Group, you should focus on doing your job well."

With that, Nora prepared to leave.

Rachel’s reappearance came with an agenda. She spoke, stopping her, her voice at a level that those passing by could clearly hear.

She said, "Do you think bearing my cousin’s child will elevate your status? Don’t forget where you come from!"

Nowadays, the only thing that could unsettle Nora was her origin.

Rachel had to admit, there was a probing element in her words.
