After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 453 - 422: The Smith Family’s Downfall (Part 10)

The sudden change came like a bolt of lightning, too quick for Adam Willow and Linda White to react.

Linda’s face was as pale as paper, her mind blank, unable to figure out how to clean up this mess.

It was Adam Willow who first snapped out of the shock, stepping forward to block the way, his tone deliberately respectful.

"Governor, congratulations on your recovery! Do you remember me? I’m a friend of Emily Parker."

As soon as he said this, regret surged in his heart like a tide, almost drowning him.

He had been blind back then, mistaking fish eyes for pearls, neglecting Emily Parker, and instead turning his attention to Sophie Parker.

If he hadn’t ended things with Emily Parker back then, wouldn’t this Governor be his father-in-law now?

At that time, not to mention one Carter Family, even if there were ten Carters, he could easily have them in his hands, unlike now, where he has to watch people’s faces!

But the Governor just glanced at him indifferently, without saying a word, his face turning even paler.

He had been bedridden for so long that his body had become severely depleted, and enduring up to now had already been his limit.

The people around him, seeing this, immediately moved to guard him.

"Lock down all the news strictly."

The Governor used the last bit of his strength to finish speaking, blacked out, and fainted on the spot.

The crowd fell into chaos, and Linda finally dared to move closer to Adam Willow.

"What do we do? Charles Smith turned out to be so useless! He couldn’t even beat a sick old man, and now our plan is completely messed up?" The situation earlier was too tense, she didn’t dare to make a move, just watched as Charles was defeated.

Adam Willow pushed up his glasses, without a trace of panic in his eyes, instead hiding a hint of calculation: "No rush. The Governor helped us get rid of Charles Smith, which actually saves us a lot of trouble. You go now and report all those corrupt and embezzlement deeds Charles Smith has done over the years.

Strike while he’s down and finish him."

Even if The Smith Family wants to protect Charles Smith, they need to see if the Governor agrees. Now that the Governor is awake, he will definitely settle accounts with The Smith Family. He can take advantage of this opportunity to seize the Carter Clan completely.

As for Carlos... Adam Willow curled his lips in a sneer, not taking him seriously at all.

Without the shares of the Carter Clan, Carlos is like a stray dog, unable to make any waves.

On the other side, Emily Parker’s private car sped forward, leaving the following cars far behind, soon arriving downstairs at the apartment.

As soon as the car stopped, Emily saw Carlos standing under the street lamp with two children, occasionally standing on tiptoe, looking up the road, appearing exceptionally well-behaved.

The tension of the day relaxed completely at the sight of the children.

Emily quickly got out of the car, taking off the mask from her face, the coldness in her eyes not yet faded, quickly replaced by warmth.

"Mom!" The two little ones almost leapt towards her simultaneously, hugging her legs from either side, rubbing their little heads against her, their voices soft.

Emily bent down, enfolding both children in her arms, gently nudging the tops of their heads with her nose, her voice soft: "Did you miss Mommy?"

"Yes!" Aaron nodded vigorously, his little hand tightly clutching her clothes, "We’ve been waiting for a long time, Daddy said Mommy would come back, so we kept watching the road."

Celeste buried her face in Emily’s neck, humming softly, like being spoiled or complaining that she was too late. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Carlos stood aside, watching the scene, the worry in his eyes gradually dissipating, reaching out to smooth Emily’s hair tousled by the wind.
