After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 288 - 281

In the conference room, Evan Palmer sat at the head of the conference table, dressed in a dark suit. His gaze was sharp as he scanned the Carter Clan executives present.

Sophie Parker and several government officials sat nearby as well.

Evan Palmer cleared his throat, his voice steady and powerful,

"Starting today, the government work group will be stationed at our Carter Clan, and Deputy Team Leader Parker will also be working with us.

We welcome the government work group and Deputy Team Leader Parker."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sophie Parker stood up.

She wore a light blue professional suit that highlighted her fair and radiant skin, with a confident smile on her face. She nodded slightly, acknowledging everyone present.

Adam Willow had just learned about Sophie becoming the deputy leader of the work group and coming to Carter Clan.

Emily Parker was already pregnant, but Sophie always had her guard up, fearing that Emily and Adam might reconnect over work matters and rekindle old feelings.

So, she went to great lengths to secure this opportunity to monitor Emily and Adam at Carter Clan.

Evan Palmer led the applause, his clapping crisp and powerful, and the department managers followed suit, filling the conference room with enthusiastic applause.

Emily Parker sat in the corner, subtly clapping along, but her eyes carried a hint of coldness that was hard to detect.

Carlos sat at the other end of the conference table, his tie hanging loosely at his chest, and his gaze carried a touch of disdain and sarcasm.

He sneered and said,

"May I ask what Deputy Leader Parker can guide us on? Is it on how to help a mistress undermine her own sister?"

As he spoke, his eyes fixed on Sophie, and her smile froze instantly. Her smile gradually faded, replaced by a flush of anger.

She bit her lips tightly, took a deep breath, tried to remain calm, and then lifted her head, her gaze as sharp as a sword towards Carlos,

"Carlos, what nonsense are you spouting!

You’re nothing more than an assistant here; you have no place to speak."

Her voice echoed in the conference room.

Carlos slightly raised an eyebrow,

"You and Assistant Willow know perfectly well if I’m spouting nonsense.

I thought, with your qualifications, you weren’t fit to be this deputy leader."

His voice wasn’t loud, yet it was particularly piercing in the quiet conference room.

Sophie’s expression instantly turned pale, her shoulders starting to tremble slightly due to anger.

She hadn’t worked for long, and her qualifications were indeed lacking. Being appointed as deputy leader was because she had a trump card.

Carlos sat lazily in the conference room’s corner.

Sophie walked over to face Carlos, slightly raising her head, and said smugly,

"You’ll soon realize my capabilities. At least I can get in touch with Dr. Sterling, and he even replied to my email.

As for you, you probably don’t even know Dr. Sterling’s email address, right?"

Her voice carried a sense of bragging, and her eyes showed a trace of pride, as if she were a peacock flaunting her tail, looking down on Carlos.

Emily Parker, standing aside, slightly opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something but didn’t.

Carlos’s expression indeed became serious, and he furrowed his brows slightly.

As a titan in the field of medicine, Dr. Sterling’s contact information was very private. He rarely appeared in public or contacted the outside world.

Carlos couldn’t help but wonder how exactly Sophie managed to get in touch with him.

"Little Sophie? Did you really contact the doctor?"

Adam Willow stood up in excitement.

He was always resentful about not becoming Dr. Sterling’s student during his time at Medical University, and it created some resentment towards Sophie.

Afterwards, he also attempted to contact Dr. Sterling, but the doctor never replied to him.

He suspected that Emily might have contacted Dr. Sterling and said some bad things about him, which was why Dr. Sterling never replied to him.

Unexpectedly, Sophie managed to get in touch with Dr. Sterling.

Seeing everyone’s reaction, Sophie’s pride grew even more, and she slightly raised her chin.

She later learned that Emily, being so despicable, really talked bad about Brother Adam behind his back to Dr. Sterling, which was why Brother Adam couldn’t become his student.

After racking her brains, she found a way.

When Emily lived at the Parker Family’s house, she had used their father’s computer. Although the traces were erased,

Sophie found a computer expert to restore the computer Emily had used, found that email address, and contacted Dr. Sterling.

Because she contacted Dr. Sterling, the government appointed her to this deputy leader position.

Evan Palmer looked at Sophie with a trace of eagerness and admiration,

"Deputy Leader Parker, since you’ve contacted Dr. Sterling, please arrange for him to come to the country when it’s convenient to discuss this project with us."

Evan Palmer’s gaze swept between Sophie and Carlos, and he couldn’t help but feel emotional.

Both were his sons, but Adam was stronger than Carlos in every way, even finding a wife who could contact a medical giant like Dr. Sterling.

Sophie smiled slightly, her tone carrying a hint of understated confidence,

"That’s not difficult. I’ll just send the doctor an email.

He will reply to my email immediately."

With that, she took out her laptop from her bag.

Everyone around her involuntarily turned their gaze to her, and the conference room was silent.

After a while, Sophie’s lips curled into a slight smile, as if she had already predicted the outcome.

Sure enough, before long, a new email alert popped up on her laptop screen.

She quickly opened the email, glanced at it, then looked up with a slightly smug smile,

"See, the doctor has already replied."

Sophie smiled slightly, tapping the screen and projecting her laptop’s display onto the conference room’s big screen.

The screen soon showed the contents of an email, with lines of French text neatly arranged, looking particularly professional.

However, a hint of confusion showed on Sophie’s face. Although she saw a few numbers and times in the email, she couldn’t understand the rest of it.

"Brother Adam, please help me take a look."

Sophie turned her head with a bit of anticipation towards Adam Willow, her voice carrying a slight pout.

Adam Willow slightly furrowed his brows, showing a difficult expression. He coughed lightly, his tone somewhat hesitant, "Little Sophie, in college, I only learned Latin and English, so I don’t understand French either. But our company has translators..."

Just then, a sharp and loud sneer erupted in the conference room.

Carlos sat in the corner, a slight smirk on his lips, and a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Carlos, what are you laughing at? Are you mocking Dr. Sterling?"

Sophie’s face instantly turned crimson. She glared at Carlos, her gaze full of anger and embarrassment.

She clenched her hands so tightly that her nails almost dug into her palms, looking quite agitated.

Carlos, however, paid no mind to her questioning, merely shaking his head slightly.

Emily Parker also lightly pinched her brow, showing a trace of distressed expression.

She sighed, her tone carrying a bit of helplessness,

"Sophie, I think Assistant Carter is merely trying to tell you that this email isn’t really from Dr. Sterling; it’s an automated system reply."

Emily’s voice was low but especially clear in the quiet conference room.

She furrowed her brows slightly, thinking to herself that it seemed "Dr. Sterling" would need a new email address.
