Chapter 1933 Guarantee A Secure Life
They were both from the Simpson family, yet the treatment they received differed greatly. If the Simpson family were to be given to Wilbur and he found out the reason behind his mother’s death, then Nicholas and Mabel would not be able to remain in the Simpson family anymore.
Wilbur, I really don’t want to fight with you for anything. But if I don’t, everything I own will be taken away. I’ll even lose my right to speak in the company. In the end, everything in the Simpson family will be yours, and I’m afraid I will not be able to stay in the family anymore. Please don’t blame me for this. And don’t blame me for working with this woman to scheme against you. I’m forced to do it. Reality made me do it.
“Nicholas, do you love the child I’m carrying?”
Nicholas did not know why Janice asked that. Feeling surprised, he looked at her belly and said, “It’s my child. Of course I’ll treat the baby well.”
“Do you love him? Would you not want any other children for the sake of this baby?”
Nicholas’ expression turned grim.
What Mabel had meant back then was that women like Janice were not suitable to be wives. He, too, did not want to take her as his wife. He would marry a suitable rich socialite in the future and have children of their own.
Seeing that Nicholas was silent, Janice curled her lips into a mocking smile. “So, you still want other children, huh? I know you’re not interested in me. The same goes for your mother. To put it bluntly, you’ll probably have children with other women. Well, have you ever thought about this child? Have you ever considered what kind of life he’ll live in the future? If the child has an evil stepmother, don’t you think he’ll suffer for the rest of his life?” she said calmly as though she had thought about it for a long time and was just telling the truth.
However, her words sent chills down Nicholas’ spine.
“What are you trying to do?”
Janice lifted her head and gazed at him. “Some accidents shouldn’t exist. It won’t benefit anyone, including himself. Don’t you think so?”
Instantly, Nicholas understood what she meant, and his eyes turned cold. “You wicked woman! How could you do that to your own flesh and blood? How could you be so heartless?”
“Me? Heartless? This is love. I’ve just chosen to love him in another way, which is to end his suffering. Of course, if you can guarantee the baby a secure life by not letting him have a stepmother and protecting him from being bullied by his siblings, I’ll keep him. Can you guarantee that?”
Nicholas’ expression darkened. He could not give his word. The child was an accident, and the stakes were too high if he were to give up on his future wedding because of this accident.
“If you can’t give him a good life, then don’t blame me for being vicious. Being alive is not necessarily a good thing for him when he has a selfish father like you.” With that, Janice got up and marched out of the room.
A cold glint flashed across Nicholas’ eyes as he watched her leave. Truth was, he still cared about the child in her belly. And no matter how messed up she was, she was still the mother of the child.
At that moment, his relationship with her was purely partnership, each taking what they needed.
He swore to never see the vicious woman once Maya and Wilbur were separated.
The next day, Maya rushed out of the food plaza, wanting to get to the filming set on time. As she reached her car in the parking lot, a few men dressed in black suits suddenly appeared before her, blocking her way.
“Who are you people?” Maya asked in surprise. “We’re your enemies!” “What enemies?”
“Your family bought over Cloud Corporation by force and caused us to lose everything!” Cloud Corporation?
Maya was not familiar with the name at all. Moreover, whether the Seet family bought over a company or not was none of her business. She did not understand why they would come looking for her.
“If you want to take revenge, then you should look for the person responsible for the acquisition. Why are you here looking for me?”
“Because you’re Evan Seet’s daughter and Kyle Seet’s sister. That’s why we’re here for you!”
