Vera sat idle in her restaurant the entire day.

That was because she kept screwing up. She'd either taken the wrong order or delivered the wrong food; she always ended up messing things up.

The staff couldn't stand it anymore, so they ushered her off to the private room on the second floor and let her rest.

After Vera sat down, she laid on the table as she spaced out.

She would touch her belly from time to time.

Why did something like this happen now?

If only she'd known earlier, she wouldn't be in such a mess right then.

The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. She couldn't keep her eyes open as she hadn't slept all night, but wasn't sleepy at all. Jennifer's words echoed in her mind whenever she closed her eyes.

Yulia was Quill's fiancee while she was the homewrecker.

Hence, Vera didn't dare sleep, but due to her pregnancy and the countless late nights, her body eventually gave in.

In the end, Vera fell asleep laying on the table.

However, she had a nightmare.

In the dream, Yulia drove her to a corner and shouted sternly.

"I'm his fiancee. I should be the one by his side. You're nothing but a sl*t. Do you actually think that you can compete with me?"

Then, the employees of the Hanover Corporation mocked her mercilessly.

"Oh my God, how shameless. I can't believe she's a homewrecker. What's so great about being a mistress? How shameless."

"Yeah. Did she think she could win the president's heart by bringing food to him every day? She's basically useless; she'd be tossed aside sooner or later."
