After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 278 - 271

Evan said it and asked the butler to bring the invitation, a hint of a proud smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

This invitation came from the inauguration ceremony of the new official, who was known for being strict and usually disliked extravagance.

The ceremony was of high standard, with invitees being top figures from various fields within the country. The Carter Clan, being a top domestic enterprise, naturally was among the invited.

Evan had just taken over as acting chairman and was eager to take this chance to meet more contacts and consolidate his position.

However, just as he was immersed in the joy of attending the ceremony, Mrs. Carter’s voice broke the silence,

"I won’t be going to this inauguration ceremony, let the young people go instead."

As soon as Mrs. Carter said this, Evan’s expression changed slightly; he had originally planned to attend with Adam Willow, after all, the invitation only allowed two people to go together.

He thought Mrs. Carter was unwell and definitely wouldn’t attend, yet unexpectedly, she passed the opportunity to Carlos and Emily.

Mrs. Carter smiled faintly, her eyes swept over Evan, her tone carried a bit of mockery,

"Evan, what do you think?"

Evan was slightly taken aback, then he composed himself, forcing a smile on his lips,

"They’re too young, and this ceremony is of high standard. It still requires experienced people to handle it."

He tried to persuade Mrs. Carter, his voice carrying a hint of urgency.

Emily was about to refuse; she was not accustomed to attending such formal events. Being the manager of the Carter family already put her in a difficult position.

Little did she know, Mrs. Carter’s next words would have to change her mind.

"Carlos, as the group’s manager, has attended many grand occasions before.

With him taking care of Emily, it should be enough."

Mrs. Carter smiled slightly, her tone firm.

Mrs. Carter glanced at Emily again, a trace of apology flashed in her eyes.

Even though Carlos and Emily were married, due to various reasons, they had not been able to hold a wedding.

This has always been a regret in Mrs. Carter’s heart; she feels she owes Emily too much.

Since it can’t be remedied for a while, at least the outside world should know that Emily is the rightful daughter-in-law of the Carter family.

And the new official’s inauguration ceremony was undoubtedly a perfect occasion.

"Emily, this is also a good opportunity to showcase the Carter Clan to the outside world."

Mrs. Carter said softly, her tone carrying a bit of anticipation.

Under Mrs. Carter’s expectant gaze, Emily nodded gently.

Mrs. Carter smiled with satisfaction, nodding slightly, as if a weight had finally lifted from her heart.

She looked at Carlos,

"It’ll be your responsibility to take care of Emily, as she’s pregnant and cannot be too tired."

Evan’s expression turned increasingly grim, he snorted coldly, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

He said no more, only left the table with a cold face, leaving a draft of cold air.

After dinner, Carlos accompanied Mrs. Carter for a walk.

Emily found an excuse and returned to her room.

She closed the door, then walked quickly to the desk, and opened that slightly old-fashioned laptop.

Emily quickly entered the password and opened the bug installed in Adam Willow’s car.

The bug had been installed for some time, but Emily had yet to find anything suspicious.

Since that day, Evan hadn’t used Adam’s car again, and this stalled Emily’s investigation.

However, Emily always felt there was something wrong between Evan and Adam; this intuition made her unable to relax.

Emily took a deep breath, adjusted her headset position, then opened the bug. Soon, she heard Adam and Sophie’s conversation.

"Brother Adam, why are you only coming now? It’s already dark."

Sophie’s voice carried a bit of coyness, she opened the car door and quickly sat in the passenger seat.

Adam’s voice was a bit tired, with a hint of weariness, "Worked overtime at the company today."

"Since you started working at the Carter Clan, you’ve been too busy, you hardly have time to accompany me."

Sophie’s voice was full of grievance, but it quickly turned cheerful again,

"Let me tell you some good news, I found a job, right at the new official’s secretary office as a secretary."

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Emily’s eyes. She knew that the secretary office of the new official was a very important position, and considering Sophie’s capability, it was almost impossible for her to hold this job.

"The new official’s secretary office?"

Adam’s voice carried a hint of surprise, obviously feeling unexpected about this news.

He didn’t speak, seemingly digesting this information.

"How about that? I’m pretty capable, right."

Sophie’s voice was full of pride and complacency, with a hint of boasting.

She seemed very satisfied with her new job,

"In a few days at the inauguration ceremony, I’ll be helping with the preparations."

Sophie’s voice was even more cheerful,

"The new official will also announce the good news of taking on a new ministerial role at this ceremony. You’ll join too then."

Adam was silent for a moment,

"The chairman mentioned the inauguration ceremony before; he does want to take me along for it."

His voice carried a bit of excitement, since such an occasion was extremely significant for him, not only allowing him to connect with high-level people but also enhancing his career prospects.

Hearing this, Sophie said confidently,

"You were actually meant to attend this inauguration ceremony; you’ll meet the new official, he really appreciates you."

Her voice carried an undeniable confidence, seemingly already seeing Adam’s glory at the ceremony.

Hearing this, Adam’s face showed a joyful expression, his eyes sparkled with excitement,

"Really? Could it be something you dreamed of?"

Adam was very surprised.

"Just wait and see, you’ll know by then."

Her voice was very confident, as if everything was under her control.

Just as Emily was amazed by this conversation, ready to listen to more details, Adam started the car.

The engine’s roar instantly drowned out the sounds inside the carriage, Emily’s earphones only had a faint buzzing left, she frowned slightly, her fingers gently tapped on the laptop keyboard, trying to adjust the bug’s signal, but was clearly unable to capture a clear conversation anymore.

There seemed to be some unknown secrets hidden in the conversation between Adam and Sophie, especially why Sophie was so certain Adam would be liked by the new official?

And what was Adam referring to when he mentioned dreaming it?

Emily vaguely felt something was off about this matter, but she couldn’t find any clues for the moment.

"It seems I’ll have to find the answers at the inauguration ceremony."

Emily thought to herself.
