Missing Mrs. Lowry: The Billionaire’s Wakeup Call

Chapter 121

Word had gotten around that Sullivan was spending a lot of time with Cressida, and it had reached Cora’s ears.

She remembered Sullivan’s last attentive visit and grew concerned for Megan, so she made a point to invite her out for a coffee–just the two of them.

Cora sneered, “Heard she’s not long for this world! Her kind isn’t even worthy of the phrase ‘beauty cursed with an early demise.”

After a pause, Cora quizzed Megan, “What’s your game plan?”

Deep down, Cora was old–fashioned, believing that if you can’t keep a man’s heart, you might as well have a hold on his wallet. In her eyes, the best move was to have a child and secure the Mrs. Lowry title.

Megan looked down, idly stirring her coffee.

Truth be told, Sullivan wanted a child, too, but Megan did not.

She was now sober to the reality that she held two percent of the Lowry Group’s shares, ensuring a comfortable life ahead without the need to toil away. Why bring a child into the world to forever be tied to Sullivan in a marriage of resentment?

The thought of leaving had taken root in her. But it would require careful planning, as Sullivan clearly wasn’t ready to let go.
