The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan! Chapter 346: Malice

She suddenly rembered that when the pocket-sized robot scanned Skylar Hughes, it seed to detect an abnormality in her abdon, suspecting a pregnancy.

At the ti, she didn’t think much of it, but now, after hearing Mona Wright’s remark, she understood instantly.

It’s just that she didn’t know whose child was in Skylar Hughes’s belly.

However, just as this thought crossed her mind, she heard Mona Wright say, "If you hadn’t hired soone to assault Skylar, how could she be pregnant? You’ve already hurt her enough, and now you’re going to such extres. Aren’t you afraid of retribution?"

Paige Sterling, "...?"

She hired soone to assault Skylar Hughes?

Is this the excuse Skylar Hughes found for her premarital pregnancy? Is she really willing to let her take the bla for such an embarrassing incident?

And does Mona Wright actually believe such an obvious nonsense?

Paige Sterling looked at Mona Wright with a numb expression.

"If it were truly , why didn’t she tell the police? Why haven’t the police co for ?"

Mona Wright replied matter-of-factly, "Do you even need to ask? You’re powerful now—who dares to ss with you? Even if ordinary people suffer at your hands, they can only endure it silently! Not to ntion soone like Skylar, who is powerless and without influence. What else can she do but get bullied by you?"

Mona Wright was genuinely angry, "Skylar is really scared of you now. She’s too afraid to fight you. Just leave her alone. She’s willing to write off the past if you’ll only let her be. If you do so, I can take her abroad, and you won’t see her again."

In that instant, Paige Sterling felt that Mona Wright truly cared for Skylar Hughes.

Look at her, going to such lengths, still fighting for Skylar Hughes, even wanting to take her abroad. Skylar Hughes really doesn’t know how lucky she is.

"If she committed a cri, it’s the police’s job to convict her. If you need to find soone, it should be the police, not ."

Being pregnant at a ti like this, according to criminal law, might lead to Skylar Hughes getting bail or a suspended sentence, essentially making no difference to not being sentenced.

Paige Sterling also found it dull and watching Mona Wright’s furious deanor made her feel all the more bored.

"Miss Wright, I hope you realize that neither hiring soone to assault Skylar Hughes nor framing her was done by , because..."

She chuckled, "She isn’t significant enough for to waste that much effort on her."

Mona Wright was montarily stunned, suddenly rembering that Paige Sterling was indeed very busy.

Truly busy, and the whole world knows it because her schedule is broadcast live online every day.

Classes, research, press conferences, receiving awards, appearing on interview programs...

How could soone who is busy 24 hours a day have the ti to plot against Skylar Hughes?

Yet, if she didn’t attribute Skylar Hughes’s misfortunes to Paige Sterling, Mona Wright felt sowhat unsettled, as if she and Skylar Hughes weren’t significant enough to even catch Paige Sterling’s eye.

Seeing Paige Sterling about to leave, Mona Wright reacted and grabbed her.

"Paige, you can’t leave. You must promise to let Skylar go. She’s still in the hospital receiving treatnt. The doctor says she’s under too much ntal strain. If you don’t leave her alone, she certainly won’t survive!"

Paige Sterling’s face was cold and indifferent, "Whether she lives or dies is her own affair. What does it have to do with ?"

"That’s two lives at stake! How can you be so cold and heartless?!"

Paige Sterling’s eyes twitched slightly, "Didn’t you already know I was cold-hearted? Yet now you’re asking to be a saint, Miss Wright? Hasn’t the shit you banged into your head a few days ago been cleared out yet?"

"You you you...," Mona Wright was flushed with anger.

Paige Sterling no longer paid her any attention, opened the car door, got in, and left.

Mona Wright stomped her feet and went to the hospital to see Skylar Hughes.

Skylar Hughes was exceptionally pale. Seeing her arrive, she forced a smile, "Mona, you’re here..."

Mona Wright acknowledged briefly, sat down, and expressed concern for Skylar Hughes, "Are you okay?"

Skylar Hughes said, "Don’t worry about . I’m fine."

She caressed her abdon, with a complex expression, "Although the arrival of this child was an accident, it’s my child no matter what. For the child’s sake, I’ll stay strong."

Of course she had to be strong, not only strong, but she had to preserve this child.

This is her get-out-of-jail-free card.

It was unimaginable even to her that she would beco pregnant when she was already at a dead end.

Ordinarily, she might have loathed this child since the father is really unworthy in her eyes.

However, now... this child is her last retreat.

Paige Sterling worked so hard to harm her, but this ti she would be disappointed, haha.

As long as Skylar Hughes didn’t die, she could always rise from the ashes!

At this mont, Mona Wright said, "Skylar, I went to see Paige Sterling earlier."

Skylar Hughes reacted imdiately, sounding agitated, "You went to see her? Why would you go see her? Does she know I’m pregnant?"

Then she gave a bitter laugh, looking dejected, "Child, I’m sorry. Mommy might not be able to protect you."

Mona Wright asked, "Skylar, what’s wrong?"

Skylar Hughes looked desperate, "Mona, you still don’t know my good sister, do you? How can she let be well? Now that she knows I have a child, she would surely go to great lengths to kill my child, just like she killed my poor little brother. I’ve fallen to this point with no ability to fight back against her. In the end, I can only watch helplessly as my child..."

Saying this, she began to cry.

This was sothing Mona Wright truly hadn’t thought of and left her at a loss, "She she she wouldn’t go that far, surely?"

Skylar Hughes only gave a bitter smile, "There’s nothing in this world she can’t do."

Mona Wright thought for a mont—killing the stepmother’s child and framing Skylar Hughes, getting her jailed, that’s sothing she could do. What else was beyond her?

Skylar is truly too pitiful. How did she end up encountering soone as terrifying as Paige Sterling?

"Skylar, don’t be afraid. I’m your friend. I will protect you and won’t let her harm you."

After much comforting, Mona Wright finally cald Skylar Hughes’s emotions. She wiped her tears and asked Mona Wright, "Did you tell her about hiring soone to assault today?"

Mona Wright, "Yes."

Skylar Hughes asked again, "She must have denied it, right?"

"Yes."

Skylar Hughes said, "You see, she never admits to the malicious things she’s done, so everyone thinks she’s kind, thinks I’m framing her. Even after she killed my brother, in the end, she walks free, and I’m the one to take the fall. I really don’t know how to protect this child."

Seeing Skylar Hughes so frightened of Paige Sterling made Mona Wright fuming with anger.

She really didn’t understand how there could be soone as nasty as Paige Sterling in the world, refusing even to let Skylar Hughes be when she’s imprisoned.
