Chapter 944 Louis's Fury
For some reason, Jeremy's heart clenched inexplicably. It was hard to pinpoint the source of the pain. Clearly, it was someone else's child, and it should be terminated.
He hesitated, his face growing darker, and he took large strides to catch up, his voice hoarse and eyes slightly glazed. "You didn't tell me beforehand! And besides, what I did to you just now, was that considered an offense?
When Sam was messing around with you, did he not offend you? Olivia, why are you pretending to be pure with me?
Since you've dealt with the child, let's go get the marriage certificate later. I want you to never be close to another man for the rest of your life. If I can't make you happy, then no other man will.
This is my punishment for you.
If you agree, I'll have Lynn hand over the antidote for your father.
Otherwise, I don't mind aiding the enemy."
"Jeremy!" She hadn't expected him to be so ruthless. Tears streamed down her face. "If you had helped my father back then, why are you so heartless now? If you can't accept Mia, I will never marry you as a trade."
He closed his eyes tightly. He didn't mind that Mia's background was fake, but how could he bring himself to hate Mia?
But he didn't care to explain to her, coldly curling his lips. "How I treat Mia is none of your business! You and she will both be my possessions. Listen to me, and life will be easier. You won't have any other future!"
Olivia's eyes fell, her worst fears realized.
He planned to imprison her by his side, torturing her daily, along with his dissatisfaction with Mia's background?
"Jeremy..." She shook her head in despair.
At that moment, Jeremy's phone rang in his pocket. He took it out, his handsome face darkening with a layer of frost. He deliberately didn't answer.
He stepped forward to grab Olivia.
Unexpectedly, the landline in the living room rang loudly!
The sudden noise was jarring in the quiet space. Olivia turned to stare at the ringing phone, instinctively feeling that it might be someone from the DeRoss Family, indicating something serious.
She was both scared and somewhat hopeful, wishing that the DeRoss Family would pressure him, pulling the terrifying Jeremy back to reason.
Jeremy's cold eyes fixed on the ringing phone.
Finally, he walked over and answered it. Sure enough, Louis's furious voice came through. "You sending Sam to the police today was already unforgivable. I haven't even dealt with you for that.
And now you want to marry Olivia? Such a rebellious act?
You've been a useless heir all these years, indulging in romantic entanglements and lacking ambition!
This is absurd. That woman, Olivia, has Sam's child. Do you want to make the DeRoss Family a laughingstock? You've publicly disgraced the DeRoss Family today!
I'm telling you, unless you step over my dead body, I will never allow a single mother to ruin your marriage. You are the future heir of the DeRoss Family. You can marry anyone but her!
I know where you are. You have half an hour to give her up. Otherwise, when I get there, you'll be dealing with her corpse. Jeremy, don't test my limits. You two can never be together!"
Louis's thunderous roar ended with a slam of the phone.
Jeremy's cold face was deathly still. Louis was indeed furious.
Olivia, who had inevitably heard Louis's voice, shrank back in fear. As she had expected, Louis looked down on her status and even spoke of killing her.
Her heart ached as she clenched her fists, staring at Jeremy's tense profile. He should realize his mistake and back down, right? They... it was impossible. Whether it was their internal emotional conflicts or external family reasons, the world wouldn't tolerate them.
"Jeremy, not only you, but Louis also won't allow Mia to be part of your life. You should be the proud and noble ruler, not entangled with someone like me. And I don't want to be harmed by Louis, so let me go..."
Jeremy grabbed her.
Louis's call came too quickly. Although he had anticipated Louis's fury, the time was still too short.
He looked at Olivia beside him, unwilling to let her go no matter what.
"Shut up and don't cause me any more trouble." Jeremy pressed his thin lips together, still holding her wrist. He frowned and made a call to his subordinates, asking in a deep voice, "Monitor the area around the seaside villa, including the roads and air routes. Have my father's men arrived?"
"Mr. Jeremy DeRoss, Mr. Louis DeRoss has already located you... Do you want to relocate?"
"Yes." Jeremy had just responded when the phone signal abruptly cut off.
Jeremy's breath grew heavier. He tried the landline in the living room, but it too had lost signal. Using a device, he quickly realized that all communications in the area had been cut off.
It seemed Louis had made his move. The consequences of his anger were indeed terrifying. He was determined to separate him and Olivia?
In the church, with Louis's return, the guests had been swiftly escorted out, and the scene was gradually clearing.
The elders of the DeRoss Family were complaining to Louis.
Upon learning of Jeremy's actions, Louis's anger skyrocketed, and Winnie witnessed him smashing the ceremonial platform in the church. His terrifying rage left Winnie speechless.
No wonder he was the head of the DeRoss Family.
Immediately, Louis made a call to Jeremy, and Winnie overheard the conversation.
She hid in a corner with Mia, her sharp eyes watching Louis stride outside with his cane.
Katerina wanted to follow, but Louis reassured her, "I will definitely separate them and bring Jeremy back to the right path. Don't follow me. I will do what needs to be done, and you don't need to see it."
Katerina was stunned, her eyes welling up with tears. She said, "That girl is innocent. If Jeremy took her, don't kill her just because you disapprove of her status."
Louis didn't respond.
Winnie's eyebrows furrowed with worry. She had stayed behind, fearing Louis's wrath upon his return. Now that Louis was going after Jeremy and Olivia, he would never agree to the marriage. The root of his disapproval lay in Mia's background. Louis believed that Jeremy marrying Olivia would disgrace the DeRoss Family!
There was only one truth that could make him accept it, one that would shut Louis up.
To protect Jeremy and Olivia's relationship...
Her phone vibrated.
Winnie glanced at the number and smiled. "Ian, have you landed? Get the paternity test results to me immediately. I need them now!"
"Yes, Ms. Anderson."
After hanging up, Winnie turned and handed Mia to Ray. "Mr. Martin, I need to follow Mr. Louis DeRoss and get to Mr. Jeremy DeRoss's location. I need to reveal the truth in person to resolve everything!
Take Mia to Mrs. Smith at Evergreen Hospital, then hurry to meet Ian."
