The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan! Chapter 343: Threat

Jared Sullivan was also frustrated; he never expected Yvette Hughes to be so foolish, "Didn’t Chloe Hughes tell you? If you take that dicine for a long ti, there’s an eighty percent chance the mother will die in childbirth, and the child born will have congenital diseases. You’re lucky this ti, but what about next ti?"

If Yvette Hughes really was this reckless, then to protect himself and his daughter’s safety, Jared Sullivan felt there was no need to continue with Yvette Hughes.

Yvette Hughes regained so clarity, gazing at Skylar Hughes, "Skylar, why did you have to want your brother dead?"

Skylar Hughes had been brainwashing her every day, saying the baby was a boy, and now Yvette Hughes fully believed she should have given birth to a boy, a rightful heir to the Sterling Family.

Skylar Hughes remained cold-faced, "Mom, why would I want to harm my brother? He’s done nothing wrong to . It should be you who dies, not the child in your belly. From the beginning, I wanted you dead; as long as you’re gone and the child is born safely, I wouldn’t have to suffer anymore. He would give everything I ever wanted. But who knew you were so useless that you lost the baby..."

Yvette Hughes felt a chill all over.

Did she really make a mistake? To let her only daughter hate her to this extent.

At this point, most people would think that Skylar Hughes was vicious.

However, Yvette Hughes was not like most people. If soone else treated her this way, she would definitely find the fault in the other person.

But because it was her daughter acting this way, she believed the fault must lie with herself.

And after delivering these heavy blows, Skylar Hughes began to cry again.

"But now I regret it, Mom. When I saw you lying on that hospital bed barely alive, I regretted it. I now realize you’re my mother. No matter what you’ve done to , you’re still my birth mother; no one can replace you. I shouldn’t have done that, sob sob..."

Seeing Skylar Hughes cry this way, seemingly genuinely remorseful, Yvette Hughes felt a tiny bit better.

"Mom, I’m your daughter, your only daughter now. It’s just the two of us against the world. From now on, let stay by your side to take care of you, okay?"

Yvette Hughes was about to nod reflexively when Jared Sullivan coldly said, "The police are on their way; you’d better say goodbye to your mom first."

Skylar Hughes stiffened, "Uncle Sterling, I already know I’m wrong. My mom has forgiven ; why do you still insist on this? Do you really want to see my mom lose a son and now also her only biological daughter?"

Jared Sullivan sneered without a word.

Skylar Hughes added, "My mom won’t hold it against ; she won’t call the police to arrest , right, Mom?"

Yvette Hughes nodded, dazed.

Paige Sterling, however, said, "Miss Hughes, haven’t you figured it out yet? You killed your mother’s child. Whether she holds it against you is her business. Whether my dad does is another matter, after all, that was also his child. Not to ntion what you did to fra ..."

Skylar Hughes gritted her teeth, glaring at Paige Sterling.

She’s already so pathetic, what more does Paige Sterling want?

"Paige Sterling, just leave be; you have everything, and I have nothing. Why can’t you just be a bit generous and let go? Do you really want to see being ridiculed to make yourself happy?"

Her face was sowhat distorted, "None of this is my fault. It’s all because you pushed ; you made like this, you made suffer so much, and now you still won’t let go. Do you really want to push to death?"

Paige Sterling, "..."

After venting, Skylar Hughes lowered her stance again.

"Paige Sterling, I know I was wrong; it was just a mont of confusion for . I was just too scared that if my mom had a son, she wouldn’t want anymore. I never thought of hurting her, or you. Please let go..."

She thought about Yvette Hughes dying, yet she still found a grand excuse for herself.

And Yvette Hughes believed it.

These two, mother and daughter, play their parts willingly, and Paige Sterling didn’t want to be involved.

But as she said, she was sick of Skylar Hughes’ tricks. If she didn’t deal with Skylar Hughes this ti, Skylar would do this again in the future.

Skylar Hughes’ little tricks didn’t affect her too much, but they were annoying.

Seeing that pleading with Paige Sterling was useless, Skylar Hughes turned to beg Yvette Hughes.

Yvette Hughes looked at Jared Sullivan, "Jared, the child is gone; she’s my only daughter now. Let’s just let it go; I don’t want to pursue it further..."

Jared Sullivan asked her, "Are you sure?"

Yvette Hughes was exhausted; it wasn’t her stepdaughter who wronged her from the start, but her own daughter and sister. How could she pursue this?

She nodded, and looked at Chloe Hughes, "I don’t want to pursue any of it anymore!"

Jared Sullivan let out a cold laugh, "Since you don’t want to pursue it, then so be it."

Yet this ti, he was truly disappointed in Yvette Hughes.

Before confirming if Paige Sterling was the culprit, she was eager to hold Paige accountable. Now it’s her own daughter and sister, she’s determined to protect them regardless. Did she not consider that he was also the child’s father, and that he wasn’t grieving?

Yvette Hughes, Chloe Hughes, and Skylar Hughes all thought that when Jared Sullivan said ’let it go,’ the matter was over.

However, the police still arrived to take Skylar Hughes and Chloe Hughes away.

Yvette Hughes shouted, "I said I won’t pursue it! Why did you still call the police!"

Paige Sterling calmly said, "Aunt, your decision not to pursue it doesn’t an I won’t."

"The child is mine, I..."

"Of course, the child is yours, and whether you pursue it or not is none of my concern. What I am pursuing now is the false accusations against and the material and ntal damages I suffered in this ordeal. Don’t think that as a daughter of the Sterling Family or as Penson’s chairman, people can just do as they wish to ."

Yvette Hughes beca flustered, "Paige, for your aunt’s sake, just let it go."

"Aunt, your influence on really isn’t that significant."

Yvette Hughes felt a sting on her face, feeling that Paige Sterling wasn’t showing the least bit of rcy, which was deeply uncomfortable for her. She pitifully looked at Jared Sullivan.

"Jared, Jared..."

Usually, Jared Sullivan was quite receptive to her approach, wanting to protect her whenever she looked vulnerable and pathetic. However, at this mont...

His heart was like still water.

Seeing the forrly tender husband now cold-faced, Yvette Hughes felt her heart sinking.

Right now, she, Chloe, and Skylar stood together as a family, while Paige and Jared Sullivan were like another family.

Yvette Hughes realized belatedly that she seed to have lost sothing. Before she even noticed, or thought such a thing could never be lost, it had disappeared silently.

"Paige, I’m begging you, let Skylar and your aunt go. Your dad and I were a couple that ca together later in life. By being so harsh, aren’t you worried about the impact on my relationship with your dad?"

This was a threat, using her relationship with Jared Sullivan to pressure Paige Sterling into backing off.
