Chapter 395 Private Alliance (1)
"Gerald has been hospitalized for at least a week, and Jessica and James have been personally taking care of him every day."
Rose pinpointed Linda's weakness and said, "Do you know what this means? Maybe, when Gerald dies, James will divide up all of The Kelly Family's assets, and you won't even know. Perhaps, you and your son will get nothing!"
Linda listened in fear; what Rose said was exactly what she was afraid of.
Her attitude softened from the arrogance she had earlier, and she asked uncertainly, "Did James tell you this?"
"So what if he did?"
Rose let out a mocking laugh and said, "You can't even protect your son, and you still plan to fight James? Even if you do fight him, with his temper, it's unlikely he'll give you much."
Linda became anxious and asked angrily, "Then why did you come to me? Are you going to help me for no reason? Speak up! What's the condition?"
Rose curled her lips and said, "I like talking to smart people like you. It's very simple. I'm pregnant with James' child, but he's afraid of upsetting Mr. Kelly and won't let me say anything. But you know, when an old man is dying, he always wants to hold a great-grandchild, so he has no regrets. So, I need you to tell Mr. Kelly about my pregnancy."
Linda snorted coldly and said, "You want me to tell Mr. Kelly about this? What do I get in return?"
"Since I'm already carrying a Kelly Family child, I think, even if Gerald doesn't like me, he won't let me and the Kelly Family's child wander outside," Rose said confidently. "As long as I marry into the Kelly Family, I will persuade James to reconcile with you. After all, my child only has Jack as an uncle, and James won't make things too difficult for the child's sake."
Linda was half-convinced, always feeling that Rose was very scheming and not easy to get along with.
But now, she had no choice but to believe her and stand on the same side.
Could it be that they had to rely on James after Gerald died?
After a moment of contemplation, Linda decisively said, "Okay, I can make a deal with you. But if you go back on your word in the future, be careful, I'll tell James that you came to me!"
"Don't worry, what I care about is completely different from what James cares about," Rose said gloomily. "I only care about the title of Mrs. Kelly. As for the family assets, there are so many that we can't spend them all. I don't mind giving you more. So, as long as I become Mrs. Kelly, I will help you. But this time, you have to help me first. Help me tell Mr. Kelly about my pregnancy."
In the hospital.
Linda and George brought precious supplements to Gerald's ward.
"What are you doing here?" Gerald frowned.
He had told James to keep the news sealed.
Not many people knew he was hospitalized.
Gerald just wanted to arrange everything in the last days of his life.
Unexpectedly, someone still leaked the news, and Linda and the others found out.
George was the first to speak, "Dad you got sick and hospitalized, and you didn't even tell us?"
Linda had already explained Gerald's condition to him at home; he was extremely ill.
