Chapter 335 No One Can Stop My Child from Coming into This World
Raymond never expected things to escalate to this point.
Naturally, he had strong opinions about Francesca.
Raymond complained, "She even fainted? Seriously, how innocent am I?"
Bradley took a deep breath. "This is all just a misunderstanding."
Raymond was feeling anxious at the moment.
Paige was pregnant and had just undergone a procedure to protect the pregnancy. Now, no matter where she was or if she was safe, Raymond was extremely worried.
And the one who started all this was Francesca.
Such an important matter as the heir to the Carnegie family, and she dared to hide it.
Seeing that Bradley had forgiven Francesca, Raymond frowned. "Paige is your biological granddaughter. Do you even understand that?"
Bradley sighed, "I know, I was the last to find out. I've sent everyone out to look for her. Ever since I found out she was my biological granddaughter, I haven't seen her. Francesca, what a bastard. How could she lose my biological granddaughter? And Louis, he's been my grandson for over twenty years, and now he suddenly tells me he's not part of the Carnegie family."
Raymond said, "I'll find a chance to explain things to Paige myself. I won't get involved in the Carnegie family's affairs. As for my matters, Francesca has no right to know!"
Raymond was well aware of how much hardship Paige had endured growing up.
The damage caused to her by the Carnegie family and the Sackler family was absolutely unforgivable!
Of course, regarding the Carnegie family, Raymond could only blame Francesca.
Bradley sighed, "Fine, then don't tell her. But Paige is pregnant."
Raymond didn't give Bradley a chance to continue, "That's my child. As long as Paige is willing to give birth, no one has the right to stop my child from coming into this world."
Bradley was sighing a moment ago, but the next second, a smile appeared on his face.
Raymond quickly noticed the smile on Bradley's face.
Raymond frowned, his face darkened, and he tapped the table twice with his index and middle fingers to bring Bradley back to reality. "Given the situation, you can still smile?"
Bradley's smile faded, but the corners of his mouth still turned up slightly. "Other than being a bit worried about Paige's safety, everything else is good news. You see, my biggest wish was to see you get married and have children in my lifetime. Now, it seems that this wish is coming true."
Bradley continued, "You know how much I like Paige. It seems there's no such thing as liking someone for no reason. The first time I saw Paige, that kind of affection just came naturally. It's in the blood! I'm old, and Louis isn't steady enough. That's always been my biggest worry. I always felt that Louis and I couldn't get close. Now, knowing that Paige is my biological granddaughter, it's the best news ever! And she even ended up marrying you by some twist of fate. Honestly, I'm really happy about it."
Raymond closed his eyes and slapped his forehead in frustration, "Get it straight! Right now, everyone outside my room thinks I'm Paige's biological uncle and that the child in her belly is the product of an illicit relationship."
Bradley's smile disappeared immediately, and the corners of his mouth turned down.
Currently, only the internal members knew that Paige was the third-generation heir of the Carnegie family.
But if the news ever got out, the Carnegie family's reputation, image, and even Hawke Corporation's stock would likely be severely affected.
And the ones most affected would be Raymond and Paige, who would likely become the targets of public criticism.
Even in today's open society, such matters were still not accepted by conventional standards.
Since confirming that Paige was his biological granddaughter, Bradley had been immersed in a mix of joys.
Because he knew very well that the truth was not what the outside world saw.
However, there were reasons why it couldn't be revealed.
Bradley looked at Raymond, "After all these years of planning, I used to think that seeing you get married and have children and continuing the plans was enough. But now, I suddenly want to see you return to your rightful place in my lifetime. It's not that I want to climb higher, but Paige has had a hard life. If she had stayed with the Carnegie family from birth, even if she had to take my place, endure some hardships, and continue to take care of you and your descendants, at least she wouldn't have suffered so much."
Bradley added, "But fate is so coincidental. She suffered outside, and now she has become your wife. I really can't bring myself to say this to you, but I still want to overstep my bounds once! You've already married Paige. Can you please protect her, let her stand by your side? I know she should fulfill her duties and continue my mission..."
Before Bradley could finish, Raymond suddenly stopped him. "You raised me. Do you really think I'm such a shameless person? Paige is already my wife. I promise you, in your lifetime, I will take Paige and reclaim my rightful place. From today, the Carnegie family will no longer be my subordinate family but a partner. I will choose a new subordinate family, and you will be satisfied."
Bradley's hand holding the cane trembled slightly. He knew very well what kind of status elevation it was to go from a subordinate family to a partner.
In the past, he never thought about it, never dared to think about it, and had the chance to think about it.
Now, with Raymond's words, Bradley was still shocked.
Raymond continued, "I married her first. This is the respect I should give her and you."
Bradley was so moved that he welled up tears. He wanted to say something but ultimately didn't.
Instead, he asked Raymond, "Do you already have a choice for the subordinate family?"
Raymond replied, "The one you personally trained. Is there a better choice?"
Bradley was stunned, "You mean Louis?"
Raymond nodded.
Bradley looked at Raymond in surprise, "Before, it was because he was the heir to the Carnegie family. But now, with his current status... don't you think he's not capable enough?"
Raymond took a deep breath, "He's not stupid, willing to work hard, and has achieved something after years of experience. He and Francesca have a deep bond. Although time is short, I believe that after this incident, he will grow quickly and be capable of handling things on his own!"
