If it were a month ago, Victoria Monroe would have definitely told Julian Fordham the truth.
This past month, her life has undergone a dramatic transformation.
Only in low tis can one discern what is human and what is ghostly?
Autumn Fordham, whom she had treated kindly since childhood, broke off ties with her for a third-rate male artist and went over to Rachel Hayes.
As for Lana Jason, it’s even more ridiculous. The conflict between her and Lana was long-standing, and the child was just one reason.
When she had money back then, Lana would call her a perfect daughter-in-law. Later, when Julian Fordham beca successful, Lana wanted to assert the authority of a mother-in-law.
Because Julian always sided with Victoria, it made Lana resentful, so she used the child as an excuse to assert her power.
Unexpectedly, Victoria wasn’t buying it. She not only flipped the table during the New Year’s Eve dinner but also broke off all contact.
Julian’s mother wanted to kick Victoria out of the Fordham Family. She liked Rachel Hayes only because she thought Rachel was easier to control.
A daughter-in-law her son doesn’t like wouldn’t receive the sa attention as Victoria, so the family’s financial control would naturally fall into her hands instead of Rachel’s.
Julian’s mother had a clever plan to destroy the bridge after crossing it.
Since she liked the child in Rachel’s belly so much, let Rachel give her a good grandson.
Victoria Monroe declared firmly, "There’s no need. I’ve severed all marital ties with him, and telling him the truth will only make him cling to more."
She hadn’t forgotten that her grandmother suffered a heart attack because of overhearing their conversation.
Sotis evil must be opposed with evil.
Rachel’s eagerness to pair Autumn up with that disgraceful artist would only make Autumn realize once she suffers; only this ti it was wrist-cutting, what will it be next?
Lana Jason, who loved Rachel, would surely have an interesting expression if she found out the child in her belly isn’t Julian’s.
For every cause, there’s an effect; Julian’s mont of wickedness will eventually bring about his own downfall.
She didn’t need to do anything, just sit back and watch the show.
Rhys Hawthorne saw her expression brighten up and let out a relieved breath.
"Would you forgive Julian and reconcile with him if the child in Rachel’s belly isn’t his?"
Victoria Monroe spoke word by word, "That wouldn’t change the fact that Rachel once aborted two of his children. Physical infidelity isn’t the only type of betrayal. Moreover, if I hadn’t gone through all this, Julian would still try to lock at ho. He stunted my future and clipped my wings, wanting to depend on him. Today he loves ; what if tomorrow he doesn’t? What would I beco?"
An abandoned bird without even feathers.
Victoria wouldn’t gamble the unknown for a future she can’t see.
Besides, the world doesn’t stop turning without a man; the family inheritance she received was enough to live comfortably for ten lifetis.
"Now I just want to wait until grandma gets better, then take her away, and raise these two kids well."
Victoria touched her flat belly, "They are my blood relatives; I’ll love them dearly."
"It’s good that you think this way; it’s getting late, go rest."
Victoria suddenly thought of sothing, "Rhys, where are we going?"
"An unknown island where the climate is warm all year round, flowers bloom beautifully, perfect for your grandma’s recuperation. I believe you’ll like it."
Victoria’s eyes lit up, "I’m looking forward to it."
Her body felt suddenly lighter and a gentle smile graced her lips, "Good night."
Rhys helped Victoria resolve a inner turmoil; she slept sweetly that night.
She dreamt of herself walking barefoot on the beach, with two children behind her calling out, "Mom..."
Julian Fordham stood outside her door for a long ti before leaving.
He drove to Lana Jason’s house.
Rachel Hayes had escaped there after the live broadcast.
In the middle of the night, Julian’s mother yawned as she got up, seeing Julian’s chilly deanor and cold expression that sent a shiver down her spine.
"Julian, have you eaten? Today is your birthday; I specially made a table of food for you. You didn’t co, do you want to heat it up for you?"
Julian Fordham in all black, his face cold as a hellscape erging from hell, fixed his sharp gaze on Lana Jason, "Haven’t I treated you well over the years? Why do such a thing?"
"That Victoria Monroe is no match for you long ago, and she couldn’t even give bir—"
"Shut up!"
In the past, Julian was sowhat respectful in front of her; now his emotions were on the verge of exploding.
His fists were clenched tightly, blood seeping from his palms.
Through gritted teeth, he forced out a sentence, "Mother, I’ve said it before, I only love Victoria in this lifeti. She helped with everything she had; you know more than anyone, without her there’s no today for . Why, why do this to her!"
Lana Jason looked at his reddened eyes and panicked, "I was just thinking of leaving the Fordham Family an heir, my child, Rachel’s child cannot be aborted."
"What if I insist on aborting it?"
His gaze fell on the guest room on the first floor; he stord forward and knocked on the door. "Open up, I know you’re in there."
Rachel Hayes’s heart raced. Considering Julian’s character, after what she did, he definitely wouldn’t let her go.
Swallowing her saliva, she summoned up courage and spoke, "President Fordham, my room is full of caras. If you harm , I will stream it 24/7. If you try to force to abort the child on cara, very soon the whole internet will know you betrayed your wife and intended harm! Never mind your reputation, but you might end up in prison."
Julian didn’t expect this foolish woman to have grown smarter, daring to threaten him now.
"What’s your price, how much for you to abort the child?" He changed his approach.
Rachel Hayes’s eyes shifted, knowing that even if Julian offered a substantial reward tonight, it wouldn’t be as valuable as being the heir to the Fordham Group.
This child is her Amulet; if she really had an abortion and Julian reneged, she’d be dood.
Learning from her past mistakes, she wasn’t that naive anymore.
This child must remain! It’s her ace in the hole to change her destiny.
She said pitifully, "No mother in the world would treat her child like this, President Fordham, I just want to give birth to him. Even if you don’t acknowledge him in the future, I can take him away, disappearing from your world forever."
Julian knew her little tricks all too well; he smiled coldly, "You want to give birth to this child?"
"Yes, I love him; I’d care for him and raise him well."
From outside the door ca Julian’s chilling voice, "Heh, let’s see if you’re lucky enough to carry him, let alone give birth."
