Chapter 820 The Men in the Uniforms

Selena didn't have to go over to know that her husband was looking at the video taken from the sonogram earlier that day. For some reason, her eyes began to grow misty as well.

She did not regret conceiving this child at all, and she was more than grateful that Pierre had come home to her. The family was whole at last. She quietly backed away from the doorway of the study and returned to the bedroom.

Meanwhile, Fowler Corporation and Empire Group released the news of Pierre's return, and something as groundbreaking as this was bound to cause shock waves across the industry, given that Pierre had been declared dead before this.

The statements from both companies had explained that his death was necessarily staged to eradicate the wicked forces who had their eye on Fowler Corporation.

However, the rest of the world was having a hard time believing in the narrative given by the companies. They began to question the ethics of the companies and wondered what else they might be capable of doing if they could go so far as to stage a man's death.

While the world was in an uproar over this incident, no one could deny the truth that Pierre had indeed returned, and there was something significantly different about this comeback of his.

News of his return had only just broken out when he announced that he would be building ten new elementary schools in slum areas, and these schools were to be collectively named the Fowler-Yard Charity School. The meaning behind such a name was in honor of Pierre and Selena's aspirations, which were to protect the children while providing them a conducive environment in which they could nurture their talents. Through this, it was hoped that these children would be encouraged to strive for their dreams.

Nonetheless, the world saw this as his and Selena's way of immortalizing their names.

Aside from this act of charity, he had also set up the Fowler-Yard Foundation, through which contributions could be made to impoverished families and children who could not afford medical care. His charitable acts did not stop there. He had also applied to set up a children's home to provide a warm and loving home for all the orphans, and it was to become a Fowler-Yard entity as well.

While Fowler Corporation and Empire Group were no strangers to charity, the most they had done in the past were making contributions through some well-known foundations or providing generous funding to support rescue missions in disaster-stricken areas. It was unprecedented for them to set up elementary schools, their own foundation as well as a children's home all at once.

It was also the first time in history that a profit-based corporation was setting up its own charities. The complexity of the matter rendered the arrangements time-consuming, not to mention the large supply of resources that would be expended in the process.

That being said, Selena was completely supportive of Pierre's plans.

Pierre had gone to the company in her place today, and it seemed as if she had a lot of free time on her hands after his return. As of now, the baby's health was her number one priority and mission in life. She was busy tending to the plants in the greenhouse when one of the maids came to inform her of the two men outside, claiming that they were paying them a visit.

Upon hearing this, she went out to greet the men, only to see that they were in uniforms. She knew that Pierre had retired, but fear struck her nonetheless when she saw these uniformed men standing outside the door.

She remembered how they had come bearing grave news the last time, and the memory haunted her still.

"Are you here to see Pierre?" Her tone was wary as she gazed at the both of them with a look of askance.

"Yes, and no. We're here to see him, but we wanted to see how you've been doing as well."

"Oh," she muttered, feeling the tension drain out of her as her heartbeat steadied.

"We'd like to apologize for being the bearer of bad news the last time we were here, but please understand that we had our reasons. If it weren't for the staged death, those evil organizations would still be a threat to us right now."

A bitter smile played on her lips when she heard this. "Well, that's all in the past now, isn't it?"

"How have you been?"

"Everything's been fine on my end," she answered with a slight nod. "Thank you for asking."

"That's good to hear. We were worried that you would be badly affected by the incident following your pregnancy, but you're a tough one. You are an army wife, after all."

She had no interest in small talks such as this and instead went straight to the point as she demanded, "Isn't Pierre retired?"

Admittedly, she was terrified as she asked the question, and it was as if her heart was trembling with fear as well.
