Chapter 522 William and Hayden
Looking at her, Hayden also wasn't angry. She calmly smiled and said, "Sophia, Jocelyn is Raymond's biological daughter. He would never let you do this."
"Raymond is still my sweetheart, and besides, I have Daniel. Now, I am carrying his other son inside me," Sophia said, her smile full of joy as she gently touched her belly.
Hayden looked at her and let out a deep, cynical laugh. Then she slowly leaned against the wall, naked and threateningly said, "You're pregnant, but who knows if you can actually give birth?"
"What do you mean?" Sophia suddenly became angry and growled.
Staring at her, Hayden raised an eyebrow and said, "Your son Nikolai died at such a young age. It's not difficult to make the fetus inside your belly disappear."
"You..."
"Therefore, Sophia, don't push me!" Saying that Hayden leaned over and warned in the most vicious and cold tone in Sophia's ear, "If you really push me into a corner, I can do anything."
Staring at her, Sophia couldn't help but tremble all over.
However, Hayden just smiled, walked to the door, and opened it, saying with a casual smile, "Sophia, please."
Looking at her, Sophia coldly laughed, "Alright, let's wait and see who will win in the end."
After saying that, she proudly raised her head and walked out.
After all, she was Sophia. How could she lose to Hayden?
Hayden's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and with the weather about to get warmer, she couldn't possibly hide it with thick clothes anymore. Therefore, she had to find a way to leave immediately.
About half a month after Sophia was found to be pregnant, Finn's excitement likely subsided. Hayden brought up the matter of studying abroad with him again.
But Finn refused directly, knowing that Sophia would be unhappy. If Sophia were sad, her baby would be in danger. Sophia's son was more important than Hayden. Since Hayden couldn't go abroad legally, she had to find another way. On the weekend, she flew to the city of S under the pretense of accompanying Isabella.
After arriving in S City, she used an alias to go to a private hospital for a check-up. Hayden was already four months pregnant, and this was her first check-up. She needed to confirm that she and William's child was healthy and that she could safely give birth.
Hayden chose a high-end private hospital with excellent privacy protection for patients. After a series of comprehensive examinations, the doctor told her that the baby was healthy and her physical condition was good. As long as nothing unexpected happens, she will be able to give birth safely to a healthy and cute baby.
"Why aren't you happy even though the doctor said the baby is healthy?" Isabella asked as they left the hospital. Isabella had no idea about the recent events, and of course, Hayden would never mention Nikolai's death to anyone, including Isabella. "My belly is starting to show. If I can't leave soon, Sophia and Raymond will find out," Hayden replied, touching her growing belly with unease.
"Raymond isn't heartless. The baby is over four months old now and is starting to move.
Even if he finds out, he won't force you to have an abortion," Isabella optimistically suggested, unaware of the situation. Hayden smiled bitterly.
If it weren't for Sophia, Finn probably wouldn't be so heartless. But now that Sophia was pregnant with Finn's child, Finn might abandon her.
In the past half month, Finn had become colder toward her. "We need to prepare early," Hayden answered after a moment of silence. "What should we do then?" Isabella asked, furrowing her brows in thought. "What if we stage a kidnapping, and you disappear until after the baby is born?" Hayden shook her head. "There are surveillance cameras everywhere now. Besides, do you think Raymond can't handle a few kidnappers?"
Isabella listened and nodded involuntarily, then suggested, "What about causing a car accident or falling into the sea? What do you think?"
Looking at Isabella, Hayden couldn't help but smile. "The thing I fear the most is that Sophia will turn a staged car accident or falling into the sea into a real one. Then I'll be dead, and Raymond won't suspect her at all! Besides, if I die, who will take care of Jocelyn?"
Listening, Isabella frowned and nodded.
She completely believed what Hayden said.
She had heard of many unimaginable things that happened in wealthy families.
In the eyes of many living in these wealthy families, the only thing that mattered was their interests. For the sake of these interests, they could completely ignore their family members.
Moreover, Sophia and Hayden had no familial bond.
"So, what should we do? Since those methods won't work, the only way is to find a man stronger than Raymond to protect you," Isabella thought and thought but couldn't come up with a better solution in the end.
"That's a good idea." Hayden looked at her and smiled. "Miss Gu, do you have a man stronger than Raymond to introduce to me as a boyfriend?"
Isabella looked at her.
When we really have no other choice, I can beg my grandmother. Biting her lip lightly, Hayden thought carefully. ‘This was the last resort.’
"Yeah, your grandmother. If your grandmother is willing to protect you, Raymond can't completely ignore what she might do to him!" Isabella nodded, fully agreeing.
Hayden nodded. "I hope so."
"Look, what is this!?"
When Pierre and Sophia emerged from the study together, Hall approached them with excitement, holding a few documents in hand.
"What? Why are you so excited?" Sophia looked at Hall, her face blushing, her eyes full of coquettishness, and asked.
Pierre was also full of curiosity. He supported Sophia and sat down on the sofa, saying directly, "Show us."
Hall sat opposite them, smirked confidently, and handed over the documents, saying firmly, "I didn't expect it at all! It's been more than four months, and Hayden has managed to hide so well! With this, let's see if she compromises."
As Sophia listened to Hall's words, she became extremely curious and lowered her head to look at the documents. When she saw the B-ultrasound report displayed on it, she immediately looked at the name of the pregnant woman.
However, it was an unfamiliar name.
"What's the connection between this pregnant woman's ultrasound report and Hayden?" She asked Hall curiously.
Pierre looked through a few documents, initially confused but quickly understanding. He became excited and exclaimed, "Hall, are you saying that these medical records are all Hayden's?!"
"Yes, you catch on quickly," Hall exclaimed, unable to contain his excitement. "I never thought that after just a few days of trailing Hayden, I would discover such a huge secret. This little bitch, I wonder if she still dares to despise me."
"Oh my, these ultrasound reports are Hayden's? She's already four months pregnant?" Sophia reacted with immense surprise.
Hall nodded, his face unable to hide his smugness. "Yes, absolutely true. The person I sent to track Hayden saw her accompanied by Isabella to a high-end private hospital's Obstetrics and Gynecology department in S City. She had her blood drawn for examination and went into the ultrasound room."
"This little bitch is really capable. She actually managed to hide her pregnancy from all of us and is now over four months along," Sophia said with a mix of anger and satisfaction. "No wonder she has been so eager to go abroad. It turns out she wanted to give birth to this bastard child secretly."
"Sophia, whose child is Hayden carrying?" Hall asked with interest, looking at Sophia.
"Who else could it be but William from Queen's Avenue Group?" Sophia replied mockingly and triumphantly. "She dared to threaten me a few days ago. This little bitch. Now, I want to smash her face, have someone cut open her belly, and show her the child inside. Let's see if she dares to threaten me again in the future."
"No, Sophia, there's no rush right now. After all, the child is only four months old. Let's wait another month or two to have it taken out. That would be more interesting," Pierre said with a sinister tone, tightly gripping the documents in his hands. "She killed Nikolai, and this revenge needs to be repaid slowly in her lifetime."
On the way back to the Imperial Capital, Hayden was constantly restless, feeling like something bad was about to happen. Therefore, after saying goodbye to Isabella at the International Airport in Imperial Capital, she went straight to the Petrova family.
Anyone with experience could tell that she was pregnant just by looking carefully at her belly. With the weather getting hotter, she was wearing fewer and fewer clothes, so it was only a matter of time before Sophia discovered her secret. That's why Hayden had to take action now.
Although the Petrova family had been defeated, their grand estate still stood. The driver, housekeeper, chef, and gardener were all still there, living the privileged life that Hayden's grandmother had always enjoyed.
After all, Finn also had his dignity. Mia Petrova was, after all, his wife, and she had died because of him. He was generous toward the Petrova family.
The Petrova family's mansion was large, but for the past few years, only Hayden's grandmother had been living there. It was only natural that it felt cold and empty.
When Hayden arrived, Hayden's grandmother was sitting in the gazebo by the garden lake, enjoying tea and arranging flowers. She was dressed in a dark green velvet dress, and the gentle spring breeze gently blew on her still aging yet delicate face, stirring her silver hair.
It was a beautiful and peaceful scene. Thinking about what Hayden was about to ask her to do, Hayden even hesitated to approach her.
"Hayden, you're here! Why are you standing there looking foolish?" Hayden's grandmother was the first to notice Hayden and her elegant eyes immediately lit up with a loving smile. Tenderly, she waved her hand and said, "Come."
"Grandmother." Snap out of her thoughts, Hayden affectionately called out and then strode toward her.
Just as Hayden walked over, it suddenly seemed like Hayden's grandmother noticed something and fixed her gaze on Hayden's stomach, not moving a muscle.
When a woman was over four months pregnant, there would inevitably be changes in her body and the way she walked unless she intentionally concealed or disguised it.
Hayden's grandmother was in her seventies and had seen many pregnant women. Plus, Hayden clearly wanted her to notice, so when she approached her, Hayden's grandmother immediately suspected that she was indeed pregnant.
"Grandmother, I missed you." Walking over, Hayden bowed down and embraced her like a spoiled child.
Hayden's grandmother also hugged her and lovingly stroked her back, saying, "If you missed grandmother so much, why didn't you come to visit grandmother every day?"
Hayden released her grandmother and sat down next to her, smiling brightly. "So, grandmother, how about I move in with you tomorrow?"
Grandmother carefully observed her features and figure before holding her hand in one hand and lightly stroking her stomach with the other.
Hayden watched their grandmother's movements without any panic, allowing her to discover the truth about her pregnancy.
"The child is almost four months old, right? Who's the father?" Grandmother asked directly after only a few seconds of touching.
"Well, it's been more than four months." Hayden nodded, looking at Grandmother with a pleading gaze. "I want to give birth to this child."
"William's?" Grandmother didn't answer, but she already had an answer in her heart.
Originally, Hayden was studying abroad and doing well, but suddenly, Finn brought her back. How could grandmother not know about this?
Later, Hayden confessed to their grandmother that she loved William very much and that it would be difficult for her to love another man in her lifetime besides him.
Because William was just too good, there was no other man who could compare.
