Johanna choked, “How can this cold as ice man be so clueless about cherishing beauty!”
She bit her lip, forced a smile, and calmly said, “Thank you, Lizzie,”
“Thick-skinned.” Lizzie shot back without hesitation.
Johanna couldn’t keep up the mask on her face anymore, the smile faded, and she raised her chin, “I was just thinking more for my child, I couldn’t help it, Theron…”
“He got demoted now.
Terrence’s mouth curved up slightly in a smirk, Lizzie knew how to push people’s buttons.
“Give Theron some more time, he’ll bounce back!” Johanna was very confident.
Lizzie shrugged, she was done with Theron, whether he got promoted or not, she didn’t care at all.
Johanna felt like punching a pillow, it was so uncomfortable.
She didn’t bother hiding anymore, gave Lizzie a fierce look, and then hurriedly left with Theron.
Theron walked fast, she only delayed for a moment, and he was almost out of the gate, without any intention of waiting for her.
Johanna saw the distance between them was about to widen. Just as Theron was about to step out the door, she pretended to cluten her

stomach and let out a suppressed groan of pain.
“Ouch…”
Her voice wasn’t loud, but it was enough for Theron walking ahead to hear.
Theron’s steps hesitated for a moment, his body slightly tilted to the side, and he instinctively wanted to turn around to check on Johanna.
In the past, whenever she showed even the slightest discomfort, he would immediately turn back, full of worry.
However, this time, as he was about to turn back, he remembered what Blaine had said. He froze in the motion of turning back, then just paused for a moment before continuing to walk away.
Even though getting pregnant is not easy, there is always a possibility of miscarriage. Just because everything was fine just now, doesn’t mean everything will be fine in the future.
Once the seeds of doubt take root in your heart, they grow like crazy and can’t be easily removed.
He couldn’t care for Johanna as openly as before.
Johanna saw him leave, bit her lip angrily, and quickly caught up with him.
Theron had already left, Lizzie couldn’t see his expression.
But when she didn’t see him coming back, and Johanna’s stomach started hurting again, that was enough to show Theron wouldn’t treat her the same as before.
Lizzie was in a great mood, with a big smile on her face.

She felt a bit embarrassed when she noticed Terrence’s gaze on her, so she quickly hid her mischievous smile like a little fox.
“Today I didn’t know Mr. Guinn would come in person to handle this, so I didn’t bring the gift I prepared for you. Just let me know when you’re available, and I’ll bring it over to you.”
Lizzie said sincerely, “The fighter jet model she made is ready and can be sent out anytime.“.
She just didn’t realize that her words were a bit insincere.
Terrence heard that, and his eyebrows twitched slightly.
After the last meal at the restaurant, he casually mentioned the so- called “thank–you gift“, just trying to tease her a bit.
At that time, he had just taken charge and resolved the plagiarism issue for her, then deliberately mentioning a thank–you gift seemed a bit insincere.
He thought Lizzie was pulling his leg.
Exactly, he saw Lizzie coming towards him, pushing her wheelchair all by herself. It was quite a feat.
“I’ll take you back later.”
But long story short, in Lizzie’s opinion, he didn’t believe her words, so he sent her back and conveniently brought a gift.
She couldn’t help but think to herself, “I’ve never seen someone so
petty chasing after others for a thank–you gift.”
But on the surface, she still nodded obediently, “Okay.”
“I still have some loose ends to tie up here.”

Lizzie had something to do, “I’ll wait outside then.”
After she said that, she just wheeled away from the office.
Lizzie left the office and was immediately surrounded by a few colleagues.
“Did you figure out that thing of yours? Are you okay now?”
Lizzie nodded with a smile.
A few people said some congratulations and then they brought up the topic they cared about the most – “I saw Anton being taken away, what’s going on?”
Anton didn’t just want to take credit for her research results. In the office, many people have been tricked by him before, so when they saw him being taken away, everyone was very concerned.
Lizzie didn’t hide it either, anyway, the notice would come down in a while, “he was fired, and he won’t be coming back.”
“Awesome!” someone shouted first, unable to contain their excitement.
Next, cheers erupted like a lit fuse, spreading quickly.
“Really? Has Anton finally left?”
