Startled, Emma sat up from her bed. "Who are you?"The hoarse voice on the other end was still asking for help, "H--help me…""Lily?""Mm…" Lily struggled to respond."Aren't you with Holden Payne? Aren't you pregnant with his child? What happened to you?"Meanwhile, Lily was locked inside a cell and her lips were so dry that the skin was peeling. Had she known that she would end up like this, Lily would have never gone to Holden for help. She had thought that he would keep her around for the sake of the child in her belly, but she had underestimated his viciousness.Holden had gone from South City to Kidon City before Axel sent him overseas by ship merely three months ago with Sean and Rose's retirement fund. Sean had wanted to send Holden to Europe so that he could extend his career with his sharp mind, but Holden changed his path halfway. He did not go to Europe, but instead went to the Middle East.The Middle East was plagued with wars and no one with an ordinary mindset wou
If that was the case, then Holden truly had to treat this woman well for the rest of his life. This was because Holden had never let women down! He was a feminist!However, this was clearly not the case. Lily was a woman who had traveled the world. It had already been a long while since she was first involved with someone, so would she still care about this?Since she had an unexpected pregnancy, then should she not have cut her losses at the earliest possible time so that the child would not suffer and her body would not be severely damaged?However, she traveled such a long distance and went through fire to come to him just to make him take responsibility?Was that even logical?This woman! She had always been full of sinister schemes. She had tried to frame Sabrina many times in South City!Thinking of that, Holden then dreadfully coldly came to the front of Lily, who had just temporarily settled down. “Pregnant with my child?”Lily already had no way out in the country and
The doctor was so frightened by Holden’s imposing manner that she dared not speak for quite a while. It was a long while before she stuttered, “Has it already been four months? To do an amniocentesis for a paternity test, you’ll have to wait until the fetus is four months old. Then only…”Holden said calmly, “It’s been exactly four months.”“Good… Good.”Lily looked tearfully at Holden. “Holden, you don’t believe me?”“Do you think I take you for a person with integrity?”Lily was speechless. Holden’s tone was unwaveringly calm. “I don’t care about a woman’s chastity. As long as the paternity test results show that the child is mine, no matter how many men you’ve fooled around with, I will still keep you by my side! If that child is not mine, but you want to make a fool of me…”There was a pause before Holden said incomparably coldly, “If you make a fool of me…”“No, Holden, no. I don’t want to do it anymore. I’ll leave your island immediately, alright?” Lily pleaded with Hold
Lily helplessly shouted tearfully, “No… Don’t, no…”However, this was not Kidon City, and it was not South City either. Alex no longer protected her in South City or Kidon City, let alone here in Holden’s territory?No matter how much Lily wailed, she was still pushed into the operating room. Holden, who was outside of the operating room, could hear how miserably Lily was wailing.It took a long while and Lily fainted a few times.When she woke up again, her belly was already flat.The doctor’s icy cold voice could be heard. “You will never menstruate again in the future.”Lily asked, “Doctor, I…am I still alive?”The doctor nodded. “Of course! Not only are you alive, but you can still get intimate with men like normal.”“Then, will I…still have children in the future?”The doctor laughed. “You cannot menstruate anymore, so how will you have children? What a joke!”Lily was speechless. She was going insane!“Ah… Holden, you son of a b*tch!” Just as she finished saying that
Emma was speechless.What a loser! Lily truly had been unlucky ever since she returned to the country. No wonder she was called Lily. The ‘L’ in her name was meant for ‘Loser’.Emma stayed silent on the other end of the line for a long while. In the past ten years, Lily had been condescending and indifferent to Emma. Although Emma was a member of the Poole family from Kidon City, Lily had never treated her as a human. That was because Lily had Alex backing her up. However, things were different at that moment! Alex no longer wanted Lily! Lily had gone to seek refuge with Holden and had been made to become neither human nor ghost by him. ‘Ha! How unlucky of her!’ Emma actually felt a sense of pleasure in her heart. At that moment, she did not talk about the matter of rescuing Lily no matter what. She just sneered and said to Lily, “Lily! You truly are pretentious! Back then when you were staying at my uncle’s house when you were a teenager, my uncle truly loved you more than m
Austin, who was the eldest of his family, said to his father, “Dad! I’m not trying to nag you!”Old Master Poole looked at his eldest son and was stunned.“You also know that I have no interest in terms of power. Our family originally had been so oppressed by Uncle Axel that we barely were able to breathe anymore! You were so furious back then. Later on, wasn’t Alex the one who made a comeback with his own power after he was grown up?“Our family only got to enjoy incomparable nobility in Kidon City because we have Alex. If you were to sever all ties with Alex, then aren’t you just pushing him to outsiders?“Besides, I find that my sister-in-law is quite good! She hasn’t done anything wrong, and she is gentle and well-mannered. She had put in a lot of effort serving Alex for eight years! I think she is a hundred times better than Lily!“That, what’s her name…Lily? She had changed so many partners when she was abroad for so many years. Does she really take Alex as a fool?“Jane is
Standing opposite Emma, Ruth fearlessly put her hands on her hips and looked at Emma in a shrewish manner. “I am the one who slapped you!”The person who was standing at the side was Ryan.“You…” Emma had never expected it. Never in a million years did Emma expect it! Even such a little b*tch like Ruth dared to slap her. Who did she take Emma for? Was Emma a person that could be slapped whenever someone wanted to?“Ryan! I am your aunt!” Emma roared at Ryan.Ryan shrugged. “Aunt Emma, I am obsessed with this chick now. She has a lot of flaws. She is uncultured, doesn’t dress up, is vulgar, and looks like a shrew. You are much more elegant than her, but I have seen enough elegant chicks. I just prefer the kind like Ruth right now. I can’t control her. Once I controlled her, she would cry and run away. I won’t be able to get her around even if I tried for a month.”Emma stuttered in anger. “You…”Ruth still had her hands on her waist. That way Ruth glared at her was as if once Emma
“That’s what I find most admirable about Sabrina. In the future, I want to be a woman just like her! Therefore, Ryan, just keep your money. I will never spend your money.”Perhaps it started from that moment onwards, Alex cherished this little girl, Ruth, even more. Although she was shrewish and seemed bad-mannered at a glance, she was actually very proud and unyielding at the bottom of her heart. She was hardworking as well. Why did it matter that she was a little shrew hail from a messy place like the markets? Ryan just liked her! Not only did he like her, but he also felt that his little wife was very cute.Ryan coughed a little. “Ruth! You’ve been a little reckless. This is my aunt and my father’s cousin. She is our elder. How can you call her a b*tch?”Ruth had an innocent expression. “Oh, I had already forgotten that she is a generation elder.”Emma was speechless. Oh! Are they trying to piss her off to death? Why would she meet this pair of d*mned things outside of her uncle
