“Anyway, go on." Sabrina waved her hands.

"He said he could work at the Ramirez Group for my sake and help me win over the shareholders. By the time my half-brother joins the company, he won't be able to achieve anything since Lance has practically made the company mine. That way, my father had no choice but to hand over the company to me."

Sabrina took a moment to absorb Bettie'’s words, sensing Lance was up to something. “What's his condition?"

"On condition that I agree to marry him. Only in this way could his assets turn into mine. We can make some agreements first before getting the marriage certificate."

Sabrina's eyebrows arched. “Are you tempted to agree?"

Bettie walked up to Sabrina and hugged Sabrina from behind. She placed her chin on Sabrina's shoulder, a thoughtful expression on her face. "Well, it's not bad. What do you think?"

Sabrina thought for a while before replying, “Your agreement before marriage holds no effects. If it becomes a court case or something equally murky, he'll have Royce in his corner every step of the way. It's easy for him to tear up the agreement and string you along.”

Lance was smart. Regardless of his intention, his proposal had taken advantage of the situation and had Bettie stuck around him for a few years. Lance and Bettie had been together in the past. Lance was handsome and capable. If they lived under the same roof for some time, it was highly probable that they would make up and become a real couple.

However, since Bettie was tempted to accept Lance's condition, Sabrina wouldn't dissuade her. Instead, she would find a way to help Bettie stay protected.

"Then what should I do?" Bettie ran her fingers through her hair.

Sabrina suggested, "You could get a fake marriage certificate with him if you really need his help. After that, you urge your father to have Lance in the company. Then, you hire a lawyer to sort out the details about the arrangement of your property and the company share."

“Well... Alright." Bettie kissed Sabrina's face and exclaimed, “It's so good to have you around!"

Sabrina simply smiled.

Sabrina's prenatal checkup was scheduled for Monday.

When Sabrina went downstairs, she found Tyrone already standing by the car and waiting for her.

As Sabrina approached, Tyrone quickly opened the door of the back seat and helped her in. "Watch your step."

After she got in, Tyrone walked around to the other side and got in.

Then, he leaned over and fastened her seat belt for her.

Sabrina wanted to tell Tyrone that she could manage but decided to hold her tongue after some thought.

Tyrone seemed to read her mind and said, "It's wise to exercise caution."
