Chapter 481

"If you can't stop her from having that kid, then you can forget about defeating her." Sarah spat out, "And don't count on getting any more of my investments in the future."

Alexa blinked, "You're still able to get funds from Elijah?"

Sarah's chin lifted with confidence, "At least I can still get a billion."

Alexa responded, "Don't sweat it. There's no way I'm letting her baby see the light of day."

......

Evening.

Violette came home from work to find a car parked in front of her house. A guest? She got out of her car after parking it.

At the entrance of the villa, Makayla walked out with two kids.

"Mommy!" Rita called out excitedly.

Mike scooped up Rita as she ran towards Violette.

"Why is Makayla here?" Mike asked, puzzled.

Makayla walked up to them with a small smile on her face, "Violette, I'm heading home first." And with that, she left.

Violette turned to Rita, "When did Makayla get here, Rita?"

"She was at our doorstep when we came home from school. She had a secret chat with Ian, but wouldn’t let me in on it." Rita replied, brow furrowed.

Violette glanced at her son, who was standing not far away. A secret between Ian and Makayla?

"Violette, didn't you say you were hungry? Let's eat." Mike urged, entering the house with Rita in his arms.

Ian chose not to disclose the secret between him and Makayla, and she didn't push. She should respect her son's privacy.

The next day.

The finals of the National Children's Coding Competition took place at the city's Science Museum. More than sixty talented children nationwide were there to compete.

Chapter 2341 Makayla sat in the audience, her eyes locked on Ian. She had encouraged him to participate in the competition. Her teacher said that if one won this competition, one could go straight to the best university in the country and enter the gifted program for further studies.

Makayla felt it was a great opportunity, so she had used reverse psychology to get Ian to agree to participate.

An hour and a half later, the judges unanimously gave Ian the highest score. When the host announced 'Champion Ian Dennis', Makayla jumped up in excitement.

After the award ceremony, she rushed onto the stage with flowers, "Ian! I knew you were the best!" She hugged Ian and ran a lap around the stage in excitement.

Ian looked displeased, "Let go of me!"

Makayla let go of him and asked the host, "Can we leave now? I want to take Ian to celebrate!"

A few boys who had also won awards but ranked lower than Ian stood nearby, discontent written all over their faces.

Seeing Makayla holding Ian's hand, one of the boys suddenly shouted, "Isn't that the woman who went missing last year? Elijah spent a billion to find her."

"Wow, it really is her." another boy joined in, "I knew there was something fishy about Ian making it to the finals and winning. It's all thanks to Elijah's influence. That's so unfair."

Everyone in the room looked at Ian with scorn, their harsh words stinging him. His body tensed and his heart filled with pain. He didn't win because of Elijah's influence. Absolutely not!

His eyes reddened as he threw the trophy in his hand away with all his might.
