Chapter 327 Do you dare to say this in front of Gregory's tombstone?
Raymond wanted to pull Bradley aside for a private conversation, and Francesca immediately sensed the crisis.
Francesca was afraid that if Raymond talked to Bradley first, it would be an irreversible situation. If Bradley impulsively agreed, it would become the biggest scandal in the family.
Paige was her daughter, and for her lifelong stability and peace, Francesca would rather never acknowledge Paige as her own.
But now, things had come to this point. As a negligent mother, Francesca could only try her best to do something for her, hoping that her life would be smoother and happier from now on.
Francesca couldn't give Raymond the chance to get ahead, nor could she let him manipulate Bradley!
Bradley was too indulgent with Raymond. Basically, whatever Raymond asked for, Bradley would help him achieve.
Francesca stood up and directly blocked them. "Raymond, what can't be said in front of everyone? Everyone here is clear about what happened today."
Raymond was a bit helpless. In the past, if he didn't want to consider Francesca's opinions, he could directly refuse all her suggestions without any problem.
But now, she had become his real mother-in-law.
Facing his mother-in-law, Raymond was really at a loss.
But thinking about the conversation he was about to have with Bradley, Raymond frowned slightly. "Francesca, some things are indeed not convenient for everyone to know."
Francesca retorted, "Everyone already knows that you married your niece. What else can't be said in front of everyone? Besides, I also want to hear what you have to say. Don't forget, you were clamoring to marry Ms. Morgan from Arcadia before."
Raymond took a deep breath and looked at Bradley with a wronged expression.
Bradley was really confused. His somewhat aged brain couldn't operate as efficiently as the young people's.
Seeing Francesca mocking Raymond, Bradley thought if he didn't speak up, they might start fighting.
So, Bradley spoke, "It's one thing that you all hid Paige's pregnancy from me, but how come there are so many things I don't know about?"
Francesca looked pained. "Bradley, don't you understand? Paige is your granddaughter; she is Gregory's daughter. She can't marry Raymond, do you understand?"
Francesca thought Bradley didn't get it, so she made it very clear again.
Bradley's body moved slightly, and he started thinking.
Three seconds later, he looked at Raymond, then at Francesca. "How can Paige be my granddaughter? You and Gregory only had a son, right? I personally saw him when he was brought out of the delivery room; it was a boy!"
As Bradley spoke, his gaze swept over Louis, who also had a look of disappointment on his face.
Francesca said, "It's hard to explain in a short time. Paige is your granddaughter. She and Raymond must divorce, and the child absolutely cannot stay."
Bradley, hearing this, blurted out without even thinking, "Why must they divorce? Why can't the child stay?"
As soon as Bradley said this, he realized he had spoken out of turn. He responded too quickly and forgot his identity and position.
What he said should also match his position.
Sure enough, before Bradley finished speaking, Francesca became anxious.
Tears streamed down her face. "Bradley, what are you saying? Would you dare say this in front of Gregory's tombstone? Paige has already suffered so much, how can you be so heartless? I know you've always favored Raymond, but this matter concerns the entire Carnegie family's reputation. Are you willing to gamble with that?"
Francesca's voice choked with emotion. Bradley exchanged a glance with Raymond, realizing he had misspoken. With so many people around, his words could easily arouse suspicion.
So Bradley immediately responded, "Look at my brain, I didn't react in time. How did things come to this? How is Paige now, what's her condition?"
Raymond quickly said, "She's stable for now." Raymond didn't dare to mention that the pregnancy was progressing smoothly.
Bradley gradually calmed down, and his face slowly regained its authority.
At the same time, he also showed his authority.
Looking at the tearful Francesca, Bradley's tone carried a few traces of severity. "Whether it's a grandson or granddaughter, Francesca, don't you think you owe me an explanation?"
Francesca looked at Bradley. He wasn't immediately advising Raymond to divorce and stop this mistake?
However, Francesca also understood that she was ultimately the one responsible for this situation.
As a mother, she had to bear this responsibility.
Francesca said, "Dad, I will give you an explanation. But now that Paige is pregnant, she must terminate pregnancy."
Bradley took a deep breath, his face solemn.
The pressure of this dilemma fell directly on Bradley.
He looked at Raymond again. Needless to say, Raymond wanted to keep the child.
He also thought, this was the fourth generation of the Carnegie family.
What an opportunity this was, for the Carnegie family to reach this point.
But Bradley didn't dare to think further.
Retracting his gaze from Raymond, this matter needed careful consideration.
Bradley coughed meaningfully and said, "How is Paige now? Since she's already pregnant, we should at least hear her opinion."
Raymond said, "She had an injection and fell asleep. She might wake up in the middle of the night. You don't need to stay up here. When Paige wakes up, I'll contact you."
Bradley stomped his cane on the ground. "Leaving is not an option. With such a big issue, none of you came to tell me first. If I leave, won't this place be in chaos?"
As Bradley spoke, Pearl quietly walked to the door of the hospital room and peeked inside. She was afraid the noise outside would wake Paige.
But what she saw shocked her.
After one look, Pearl's eyes widened in disbelief. She quickly turned the doorknob, pushed open the door, and after confirming again, she suddenly turned around and shouted.
