Chapter 1720 Nina VS Janice
Janice readjusted her stance. Before anyone knew it, her eyes had turned watery. She turned to “Maya” and said, “Thank you for your compliment and your understanding. I know you must feel terrible about this. You could be with Wilbur if I hadn’t suddenly gotten pregnant. I understand if you hate me. To be honest, I don’t want this to happen either. It’s just… Wilbur’s parents love the baby so much and want me to have it too, so…”
Janice trailed off and caressed her stomach. After that, she added, “A life is blooming inside me, and I’m sure the baby wants to be born, too. He’ll surely want to see how beautiful the world is. If he’s born safely, I’m certain he’ll appreciate you for letting him live. He’ll also be thankful that he can grow up in a wholesome family.”
Nina was speechless.
She stared at the teary-eyed Janice and thought, What did this woman mean when she said that the baby will be appreciative of me letting him live? What does the baby’s survival have anything to do with me?
“The baby is in your womb, so you’re in control of whether the baby is born. I’m pretty sure this has nothing to do with me.”
Janice was quick to refute. She insisted, “You’ll definitely play a part in the baby’s birth. It will be because you’re willing to back out of this relationship that the baby will be born.”
Nina paused for a moment.
At the very next second, she laughed and pointed out, “So what you’re saying is that you’ll get an abortion if I stay in this relationship?”
Oh, so you’re threatening to kill the baby, huh?
Janice took a moment before she started sobbing again.
“Ms. Maya, you grew up as a member of the Seet family and have been in a luxurious environment since young, so you don’t understand the pain of being an illegitimate child. The amount of insults and humiliation they’ll have to endure… I’m a mother, and I can’t bear watching my child suffer through all that. Besides, the baby is the flesh and blood of the Simpson family. I’m sure Wilbur’s parents will not allow their grandchild to be an illegitimate offspring.”
Nina sighed internally. Oh, this woman really is something else. She’s not just using the baby to marry Wilbur and become a member of his family. She’s also dragging his parents into this mess.
Hmm… I wonder if Wilbur’s parents truly want a woman like Janice to bear Wilbur’s heir? Or… maybe they’re simply forced to do all this because Janice is already pregnant?
There were two possible scenarios. Either the Simpsons truly wished for Janice to be a part of the family, or they had no choice but to agree to her terms. Nina thought that the latter scenario was more likely.
The reason why she thought that was because Wilbur’s father had said it himself. He wanted the Simpson family and the Seet family to merge because that would greatly benefit their respective companies.
The only question now is why. Why are Wilbur’s parents okay with giving in to this woman? Wilbur’s dad, in particular, has dealt with all sorts of crises in business, so it shouldn’t be easy to force his hands. Something is off…
Nina was still analyzing the situation when Wilbur said, “Janice, if it’s nothing urgent, please just go home. This is my office, and I have to work.”
Janice didn’t reply. She simply turned to Nina and said, “Wilbur has to work, Maya, so let’s not get in his way.”
Nina was speechless.
What the hell? Wilbur asked you to leave; he never complained about me. Are you that eager to chase me away because you worry that “Maya” will get back together with Wilbur?
Nina grinned calmly and said, “Sorry, but I’m actually here to discuss some business with Wilbur.”
After saying that, Nina calmly retrieved the contract that Maya had handed over to her earlier. Slam! She then slammed the thick contract onto the desk.
For a moment, Janice was surprised. She grinned soon after and said, “Well, I guess I’ll leave now since the two of you need to discuss some corporate-related matters. Bye.”
As Janice walked out of the office, she thought about how she had threatened the baby’s life and dragged Wilbur’s parents into the mess. She didn’t think that “Maya” would still take Wilbur back after hearing all that!
There’s no way the daughter of the Seet family is that shameless!
After the door was closed, Wilbur picked up the contract and read it.
“She’s terminating our previous agreement?” blurted Wilbur. He was rather surprised to learn that.
Nina nodded and informed, “Yeah, that’s what Maya wishes. She wants to cut you off completely, so she’s severing all ties with you, including the professional ones.”
Wilbur became quiet as he kept staring at that contract.
