Chapter 498: The Child is Innocent
"So, it's all my fault?" Scarlett expressed immense disappointment, tears streaming down her face. "Marcus, I've known you for so long, and today I finally see your true colors! You truly are someone who would do anything for money!
In the beginning, you told me about your family's situation, and didn't I always try to help you? Do you know how much I despise actors, but I still went to great lengths to secretly film scenes just to earn some extra income for you?
To earn more money, I repeatedly put my life in danger as a stunt double, and after receiving the pay, every penny went to you! But your family's financial hole is bottomless, no amount of money can fill it, and yet, I still didn't mind.
I sneaked back home more than once to pawn my gold jewelry, just so we could get by. Because of that, my father found out about our relationship and forced me to sever ties with you.
But I adamantly refused, even if it meant cutting off my relationship with my father, I wanted to be with you! But then, I discovered I was pregnant, and you disappeared without a trace.
For the entire ten months, I endured the hardships of pregnancy while working hard to support myself through acting. Do you know how I survived during those days?
Just one day after giving birth, I was evicted by my landlord because I couldn't afford the rent. While others rest during their postpartum confinement period, what about me? Not only did I not have the luxury of confinement, I had to endure hunger!
Without money for transportation, I braved the heavy snow, going through countless hardships, carrying my child step by step to get here. This was a choice I had to make because I had no other options.
I am a person of integrity, and I once vowed never to return even if I died outside. But I couldn't bear to leave my children behind. I can die, but the children are innocent!
Setting aside all my pride, I brought the children here, hoping to seek forgiveness from their father. Little did I know, their father had already passed away... My home was claimed by my former best friend and the father of my children!
Now that it has come to this, what else can I say? I wish the two of you... may reap what you sow as soon as possible!"
Scarlett finished speaking in tears, holding the two babies and resolutely stepping into the heavy snow.
"Xiaofei!" Marcus couldn't help but feel conflicted.
Isadora grabbed Marcus, frowning. "Why call after her? Do you want to wander around with her? Don't assume those children are yours. Back in school, she had countless suitors. Who knows which man fathered those children?"
Marcus hesitated, "So, those children might not be mine after all. If that's the case, let her go!"
Hearing these words, Scarlett turned around angrily, a burst of fury in her eyes. She truly wanted to kill this despicable duo!
But the babies were crying, and she feared for their safety.
With no other choices, she could only leave while holding the children.
"Beatrice, close the door!" Isadora commanded sternly.
At this moment, Beatrice, after learning the truth, no longer wanted to serve these wicked individuals!
Returning to her room, she packed her belongings, preparing to leave.
"Stubbornly, he said, 'I am old and can no longer serve others. Find someone else!'"
"Want to leave?" Scarlett snatched Beatrice's package and said, "These things belong to the Qin family. If you stay, you can continue to enjoy them. If you want to leave, you must leave empty-handed!"
Beatrice was angry and tears streamed down her face. "I didn't take anything I shouldn't have. I only took a few changes of clothes and my hard-earned wages!"
Isadora didn't care about Beatrice's words and sneered, "If you stay, you can continue to enjoy them. If you want to leave, you must leave empty-handed. If you're not satisfied, then sue!"
Marcus issued a fierce warning, "If you dare to sue, I'll kill you, old man!"
Beatrice had no choice but to give up the package.
Shortly after, she caught up with Scarlett in the heavy snow.
"Young miss, you have suffered. Let me carry the child for you!"
