"I want to talk to you," Belinda declared confidently, her voice steady and assured.

Wayne glanced at her indifferently and asked, "Need money again? How much this time?"

"I'm not here to ask for money. I'm pregnant, and it's yours," she said, pulling out an ultrasound report and handing it to him.

The report actually belonged to Scarlett, taken when Belinda performed an amniocentesis on her. However, the name on the report was Belinda's.

Belinda hadn't done the amniocentesis to check if the baby was Wayne's. She did it to have something to show Wayne.

Wayne didn't take the report, but his eyes did glance at it. The dates matched up, but he wasn't going to believe it that easily.

"I know you won't believe me," Belinda said, having come fully prepared. She handed him a container from a cooler, "These are the fetal cells from the amniocentesis. You can have them tested."

Wayne's expression finally changed, not to joy, but to a probing look as he studied Belinda.

    This time, Jeff was taken aback. If she had continued to resist, Jeff would have thought it was normal. But now, not only was she cooperating, but she was also suggesting something thrilling. This was unexpected. "Are you serious?" Jeff asked, still skeptical. "You've already tied me up like this. What tricks could I possibly pull?" Scarlett tried to make her expression look relaxed and cheerful. Jeff stared at her for several seconds. Perhaps driven by curiosity, he picked up her bag. He actually found the pills inside. Jeff held them in his hand, reading the label. It said Viagra. Scarlett smiled and said, "See? I wasn't lying." "Why would you carry something like this with you?" Jeff frowned deeply. She always gave off an impression of being proper and pure, her appearance was that of an innocent girl. Could she have a wild side too? "Do you really think I'm a good girl? With you, I've always been playing hard to get. Hurry up and take it, so we can have some

    "Beatrice, you are truly foolish, do you know that? You can't even grasp your husband's intentions. It's pathetic," Caroline said, crossing her arms with a haughty expression. "From the very beginning, your husband planned to send your daughter into the Gray family, to become their relative. He didn't divorce you just so he could manipulate your daughter. Yet, you naively believed he still had feelings for you. If he really cared about you, why would he have been with me for twenty years? And how could he bear to let your daughter marry into the Gray family? Sure, the Gray family is wealthy, but Wayne is notorious for his bad temper. Your daughter was practically forced on him. Do you think her life will be easy? If you were smart, you'd divorce Andrew immediately. That way, your daughter could escape this misery sooner." "You're lying!" Beatrice shouted, but her voice lacked strength. Her words carried no weight! Scarlett felt her body waver as she listened. From a young age,

    Bryan nodded. Scarlett's body shivered, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, chilling her from head to toe. Didn't Wayne said he didn't like Belinda Carl? If he didn't like her, why would he get her pregnant? "Scarlett,are you okay?" Bryan asked, noticing her pale face and looking concerned. Scarlett snapped back to reality and quickly shook her head. "I'm fine." The moment she heard that Belinda was pregnant, a tiny pang of disappointment hit her heart. But she quickly brushed it off. Who Wayne was with had nothing to do with her. She had no right to be upset about it. "Scarlett, you're acting strange. Could it be that you like Wayne?" Bryan asked, his eyes filled with suspicion. After all, her reaction had been quite intense. Scarlett looked up at Bryan and asked, "Do I?" Bryan nodded. "Yes, you do." "My reaction isn't because I like Wayne; it's because I'm worried," she said, walking over to a bench in the hallway and sitting down. "I know my place. I w

    Wayne woke up to the strong smell of disinfectant filling his nostrils. Slowly, he sat up. "President Gray," his secretary approached, reaching out to help. Wayne waved his hand dismissively. "No need." After taking a moment to steady himself, he asked, "How is Christopher?" "He's not in any life-threatening danger. He had a minor surgery and is currently unconscious but stable," the secretary replied. "You have a mild concussion. The doctor said you need rest. Maybe you should sleep a bit more?" Wayne's thoughts drifted to Belinda , recalling the blood on her leg. He pressed his lips together and, after a moment of silence, asked, "How is Belinda?" "The doctor said she had a miscarriage. She has some minor scrapes but nothing serious. She woke up just before I came in. She's in the room next door," the secretary hesitated before adding, "Do you want me to call her over?" Wayne raised his hand, signaling that it wasn't necessary. His feelings were complicated. He had always f

    "Dad, Mom, you have to save me! If you don't, I'll definitely end up in jail," Adrian pleaded desperately, clutching onto Caroline. Andrew looked at his son with disappointment and asked coldly, "What did you do this time?" The word "this time" made it clear that this wasn't his first mistake. "I... I was just practicing for my driver's license. I thought I'd take my sister's car for a spin to learn, but I crashed it..." "What?!" Andrew nearly exploded with anger. "Last time, you almost blinded someone with a barbecue skewer. I had to spend money and apologize to resolve it. And now, just a few days later, you've caused trouble again. You don't even have your license yet, and you dared to drive? Are you tired of living?" "Andrew, please don't get so angry. He's your only son. You have to find a way to save him. He hasn't even finished his studies yet; he can't go to jail. If he does, what future will he have? The car belongs to Scarlett, right? Just say it was Scarlett driving...

    "I'm Bryan. Scarlett has been injured and is in the operating room," Bryan Willow said, standing at the door of the surgery room. Beatrice's heart leapt into her throat. "What happened? Is my daughter hurt?" Bryan nodded. "Yes." "Which hospital?" Beatrice was frantic, her worry detectable. "The Second District Hospital." "Got it," Beatrice said, hanging up the phone and hurrying to catch a cab to the hospital. At the hospital. Inside the operating room, Scarlett clutched the doctor's sleeve. "Is there any hope for my baby?" After the examination, it was confirmed that one of the babies couldn't be saved and had already been lost. However, the other one still had a chance. "Are you sure you want to try to save it?" the doctor asked. Scarlett's face was as pale as a sheet of paper, her lips cracked and bleeding. She rasped, "Yes, please. Do whatever you can." The doctor nodded. "I'll do my best." The doctor performing the surgery on Scarlett was the top gynecologist at the Sec

    Wayne took the file, which contained information on Scarlett and frowned. "Is this the driver responsible for the accident?" The driver he saw was a boy! His secretary, unaware of why Wayne's expression had changed, replied honestly, "The car involved in the accident is registered under Miss Norman..." "Just because it's registered under her name, does that mean she was driving?" Wayne got out of bed, glaring coldly at the secretary. "Is Scarlett the person you reprimanded?" The secretary lowered her head, not daring to make a sound. "I'm asking you a question!" Wayne was furious! The secretary had no choice but to answer, "Yes." Wayne was so angry he was breathing heavily. The secretary quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't handle it well." Wayne ignored her and quickly walked out. Belinda was waiting at the door, wanting to see Wayne.After the car accident, she had a legitimate reason to claim that her child was not at fault. Surely, Wayne wouldn't have anything to say

    "Does it hurt?" It really did hurt back then. But the physical pain was nothing compared to the agony of losing a child. She lowered her eyes, refusing to respond. Wayne grabbed her hand, preventing her from moving, and leaned down to kiss her lips. "Mmm... Are you crazy?!" Wayne smirked, his eyes filled with a mischievous glint. "When I speak, you answer. It's called manners. If you don't understand manners, I'll teach you. That kiss was a punishment. If you continue to resist me silently, I'll punish you even more harshly." He added, "And I mean it." Scarlett, injured and desperate to protect her unborn child, didn't dare to resist too fiercely. Even though she loathed Wayne at this moment. She could only feel anger but dared not express it. She had lost her child because Belinda had performed an genetic testing without her consent, and Wayne’s subordinates had mistaken her for the driver who caused the accident, beating her until she miscarried. To her, both

    Wayne liked the feeling of her clinging to him. He smirked triumphantly. Lowering his eyelids, he said, "Don't you know if I'm strong or not?" Scarlett was utterly confused. "How on earth would I know if you're strong?" she thought Wayne must be out of his mind! Wayne's eyes held a deeper meaning, "You know." Scarlett couldn't grasp the hidden meaning behind his words. She just thought they were talking past each other. Outside the hospital, Wayne was afraid Scarlett might catch a cold, held her a bit tighter. As the driver opened the car door, he gently placed her inside and adjusted her coat. Scarlett looked up and saw his serious and caring expression, feeling a subtle flutter in her heart. But she quickly dismissed it. A man who could push her down from the second floor and disregard her life wouldn’t be kind to her. She didn't believe it. Her expression turned cold again. Wayne asked her, "Are you cold?" "No," Scarlett replied curtly. It seemed she

    Wayne closed the door and started walking toward the window at the end of the hallway. Bryan followed him. "You've known Scarlett for a long time. Tell me about her," Wayne said, facing the window. He stood tall with one hand in his pocket, his broad shoulders and narrow waist creating a striking silhouette. Even his shadow cast on the floor was pleasing to the eyes. Bryan thought to himself that Scarlett and Wayne would make a great couple, like a match made in heaven.After a moment of contemplation, he asked, "What do you want to know about her?" "Everything." Bryan organized his thoughts before speaking. "Scarlett was an excellent student, always at the top of her class. After graduation, she excelled at work too. The director of Vincal Hospital held her in high regard. As for her personal life, she was pure..." He paused. "Scarlett used to be a good girl. She never dated anyone during school, even though many boys liked her. She received a lot of love letters, but she

    Wayne immediately pushed open the hospital room door and saw Scarlett, her leg still in a cast, slumped over the side of the bed.He frowned, "What are you doing?"Before the words were fully out, he was already at her side, helping her up while trying to suppress his anger. "Your leg is like this, and you still want to run?"Scarlett gently shook her head. In her current state, she couldn't run even if her legs were fine; she had no strength left.Her chest was numb from the engorgement."I'm just thirsty."It was only then that Wayne noticed her lips were cracked and bleeding.His eyes softened, and he said gently, "I'll get you some water."Scarlett lay back on the bed, staring at the ceiling, and weakly asked, "Wayne, why won't you let me go?"Wayne paused as he poured her a glass water. He knew he had feelings for Scarlett.But because she had been with another man, he couldn't bring himself to admit it, not wanting tocompromise his pride.Even though he had feelings, he kept th

    Belinda's face turned ashen with fear, stuttering, "Y-you, why are you here?" Wayne strode forward and kicked her aside, his eyes dark and menacing. "How dare you deceive me!" Belinda fell to the ground in a disheveled heap, scrambling to get up in panic. "I didn't deceive you..." Wayne had heard everything she said, and yet Belinda still tried to hide the truth! He had once held some sentiment for Belinda because of that night, but now... He just wanted this woman to disappear immediately! "Mrs. Robert, keep an eye on her!" Wayne called Chris, instructing him to come and deal with Belinda. After hanging up, he looked at Scarlett, who lay on the ground, her breaths faint and weak. Hesitating for a moment, he then quickly moved to her side, squatting down. His hand hovered uncertainly before finally daring to touch her cheek, his voice trembling as he softly called her name, "Scarlett." He never imagined that it had been Scarlett that night. His heart quivered with emoti

    Chris rushed over to try and stop it, but it was already too late. Scarlett had fallen from the upstairs window. Wayne, with a cold demeanor, ordered, "Take her away." With that, he turned and walked out of the room. Henry glanced down from the window. Although it was only the second floor, it was still high enough to cause injury from such a fall. He felt a twinge of sympathy but didn't pity Scarlett. She was the one who had challenged Wayne first. Why did she have to run away secretly? They had spent months searching for her! Downstairs. Scarlett lay curled up on the ground, her whole body aching, but her legs hurt the most. She shakily reached to touch her leg bone, knowing that her leg was likely broken. Chris ordered his men to pick her up. There was no gentleness, just rough and simple actions! Scarlett was too weak to resist. She was like a boneless rag-doll, dragged along by them. Even though this was Jeff's territory, Wayne had come prepared with many men.

    He walked in and sat down, a fake smile plastered on his face. "President Gray, long time no see." The private room was dimly lit. Wayne lounged lazily in the shadows. No one could discern his expression or emotions. Wayne asked, "Did you need something from me?" "I heard that President Ortiz has a collaboration with Grand Prix Corporation. But then, I also heard that the CEO of Grand Prix Corporation has regrets?" Wayne's voice was neither too loud nor too soft. Yet it struck Jeff like a bolt from the blue! He knew it must be Wayne's doing. His heart bled, but he kept a calm facade. "It's just a collaboration. If it falls through, so be it." Wayne chuckled lightly. "President Ortiz is very magnanimous. But if the collaboration fails, I wonder how much President Ortiz will lose?" Jeff's face twitched slightly. Wasn't this just a deliberate jab at his sore spot? He knew Wayne was known for his ruthless tactics. He had come prepared, catching Jeff completely off gu

    Before Scarlett could respond, he spoke first, "If you don't want anything to do with Wayne, and you've already broken up with your boyfriend, why not be with me?" Jeff had asked Scarlett whose child it was. Scarlett said it was her boyfriend's, but they had broken up. So now, the child had no father. "No..." "Don't be so quick to refuse," Jeff interrupted her. "We've known each other for a few months now, right? I've treated you well, haven't I? We could be considered friends, right? You can't stay here forever. If you don't want Wayne bothering you, you need an identity..." Scarlett looked at him, lost in thought. She really couldn't stay here forever. Once she left, Wayne would eventually find her. "I can be your shield. You can tell Shane that your child is mine," Jeff said mischievously. His mischief was directed at Wayne. Even though the child wasn't his. But making Wayne think it was. Is Wayne going to be furious? "No way," Scarlett refused. She didn't want Wa

    Upon seeing Beatrice, Scarlett quickly shifted her gaze to Jeff. What does he mean by this? Why did he bring her mother here too? Her expression darkened. "Scarlett, this gentleman said he's your friend and brought me to see you. And here you are," Beatrice said as she walked briskly over. Scarlett smiled at her mother, "Mom, please go inside first." Though puzzled, Beatrice nodded and went inside. Once Beatrice was inside, Scarlett's smile vanished. She glared at Jeff. "What do you mean by this? Isn't it enough to capture me? You had to bring my mom too?" Jeff glanced at her. "Weren't you clever when you were dealing with me? How come you're so confused now?" Scarlett still didn't understand. "Who knows what kind of evil plan you have?" She eyed Jeff warily. This man had tried to take advantage of her multiple times. Could he possibly be a good person? Jeff's previously smiling face slowly turned cold. "I see you don't recognize a good deed when you see one!"Scarlett s
