A Ruling Passion – Chapter 1214

Arianne chose to let that slide and pivoted to a new subject instead. “Say, it’s been a few months since Melanie Lark’s pregnancy, right? Surely, she’s going to deliver the child very soon.”

Jett leveled a silent, steady gaze into hers for a while before replying, “Yes, Melanie’s pregnant. But I took a break to care for Tanya for months. I haven’t been working under the Smiths for a while. If there’s any information about them that interests you, the odds of gleaning them from me won’t be satisfactory.”

Arianne had to admit that Jett was no ordinary person, he was perceptive and very alert.

Her lips thinned. “Hey, I didn’t help you today to squeeze intel out of you, don’t misunderstand me. Besides, if I really wanted to know something, I have my ways of getting it that don’t involve prying it from you,” she said. “Anyway, I should be going. You take good care of Tanya after childbirth, please.”

She went to Tiffany’s ward right after, and while chatting, told the other woman about Tanya’s delivery. Tiffany was breastfeeding her son at the moment, but upon hearing the news, she pouted. “Hmph! So it was only a few days after mine! Urgh, I can’t believe she gave birth around the time I gave birth and then chose the same damn hospital, too! Urgh! Just thinking about how close her child was to being considered as Jackson’s just... pisses me off!”
