Chapter 283
The Beginning Of All Sins
Olivia was envious because Sophie had everything she wished for: her own unique personality, freedom, a loving family, and being with the person she loved.
She had none of that.
But Sophie wasnât trying to make Olivia feel bad. Even though she tried to control her feelings, she couldnât stop the happiness from showing on her face whenever she thought about Jacob.
âPeople actually envy you, Olivia. Youâre Mrs. Harris now, and thatâs something a lot of women dream about.â
and The Harris family had been rich for generations. No one could match their status, Tyler was considered a dream man by many women. Even though Jacob was wonderful, he couldnât compare to Tyler.
Sophie knew this very well.
But for Sophie, Jacob was the only man she ever wanted, no matter how impressive others might be.
âReally, getting married into the Harrises is like a dream for many. Weâre the ones who should be jealous.â
Olivia didnât argue. She just smiled and nodded.
Just then, Nina came over with a jacket and put it on Olivia. âItâs a bit chilly today, maâam. We should head back.â
Hearing this, Olivia said, âIâm leaving now, Soof.â
Olivia touched her belly out of habit and left with Nina.
Sophie saw that. She also noticed how slowly Olivia was walking and how anxious Nina seemed.
Suddenly, it hit herâOlivia was pregnant. This thought stunned her.
Olivia said goodbye again before she left. Sophie replied and watched her go.
Sophie stood there, lost in thought until her phone rang.
It was Jacob. Thanks to Sophieâs family, he was doing well in a big company like Harris Group. This made her very happy.
âWhen are you done with classes today? Iâll come pick you up. Iâm finishing work early,â Jacob said with a smile.
âI just saw Olivia, Jacob.â
He fell silent hearing that. Sophie waited for a couple of seconds.
Then Jacob quickly asked, âOh? Where did you see her?â His tone was cold, as if he had no Interest in finding out.
âBy the lake at school. She was alone. I think she might be⦠pregnant.â
Jacob was quiet again. Sophie hesitated, worried she might have assumed wrong, âBut Iâm just guessing. I donât know if she really is pregnant.â
He scoffed and responded dryly, âHmm, thatâs great.â
Sophie felt something was off but didnât know what to say.
âIâll pick you up in the evening,â Jacob said.
âOkay.â
Sitting in the office, Jacobâs cold expression lingered after the call ended.
Just then, Linda entered his office, and he quickly stood up.
It wasnât just the Pearces supporting him; Tyler also seemed to be giving him special attention. Life had been going smoothly for him.
