Chapter 994 Laura Became Carl's Goddaughter
"No, Dad," Michael retorted.
"How could you be so malicious?" Caroline shook her head in complete disappointment. "The things I told you before, you still let me down. Just go. From now on, we have nothing to do with you."
Michael felt a bitter taste in his mouth. "Dad, Mom, I really didn't push her. Are you really going to abandon me for a grandchild and Laura?"
"Don't you understand? A person needs to have a conscience and principles, but you have none. Someone like you doesn't deserve to stay in the Jude family," James, trembling, shouted. "Get out! Don't let me see you again."
James and Caroline were truly heartbroken.
Michael was about to say something, but facing everyone's hateful stares, he could only turn around and leave in desolation.
He knew that no one would stop him from being with Megan anymore.
But why didn't he feel any happiness? Instead, he felt so lost.
"James." Cassie didn't expect James to expel Michael from the Jude family, but she still told James and Caroline what had happened.
"In any case, Michael can't be absolved of responsibility. If he hadn't forcibly dragged Laura to get an abortion, none of this would have happened," Cassie explained.
James sighed deeply. "It is all our fault. I thought Michael still had a sense of responsibility. His kindness has almost been extinguished by Megan."
Cassie frowned deeply. "But what about the child?"
"The child can't be aborted anymore. We owe Laura for this, and we will make it up to her," Caroline said. "On the way here, we talked to Eric on the phone. Eric suggested that Carl take Laura as his goddaughter. As the future president's goddaughter, she will be able to find love without any worries, and no one will dare to bully her."
Cassie was shocked, pondering, 'Being Carl's goddaughter is indeed extraordinary. Moreover, Carl only had one son, who currently holds a significant position in law and politics. Who would dare to mess with Laura in the future?'
"In a few days, we will hold a grand ceremony. We will let the whole world know that Laura is part of the Jude family. Additionally, she will receive ten percent of the Jude Group's shares, but these shares can only be passed on to the child she is carrying now. If she marries another man, we will arrange other gifts for her," Caroline said sincerely.
"I'll tell Laura later." Cassie could see that the Jude family was indeed showing sincerity. One was out of guilt for Michael's despicable actions, and the other was concern for the child in her womb.
An hour later, after settling down in the hospital room, Laura finally understood the Jude family's arrangements.
She asked herself inwardly, 'Would I be the president's goddaughter in the future?'
Upon thinking this, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Laura, if you lose this child, you will lose the ability to be a mother," Cassie said helplessly.
"Consider it a decision made by fate." Laura didn't expect her life to come to this point.
She used to dream of having an ordinary love with a partner who didn't need to be rich or powerful. Then, they would start a family and have children. Now, her life had taken a turn.
Caroline comforted her, "Laura, don't worry. With your new status, you will have your pick of men. Of course, you might be afraid that they will mind you having had a child, but look at how many women remarry and do well. And if anyone dares to bully you, the Jude family will back you up."
Laura could only smile bitterly. She shouldn't complain so much. "I won't let the child recognize Michael as his dad. First, he doesn't deserve it. And second, I don't want my child to call Megan stepmother."
"That definitely won't happen. We have nothing to do with Michael anymore. I've already arranged for the company to draft a public document severing the father-son relationship," James said without hesitation.
Laura felt helpless. The Jude family was indeed decisive.
However, she felt a bit pleased, pondering, 'Michael, without a family now, must be feeling desperate, and how long would Megan stay with him? I suddenly want to know it.'
At 2 PM, the Jude Group's official media released an announcement: [The chairman of the Jude Group, James, officially severs ties with Michael. From now on, the Jude family has nothing to do with Michael. All assets of the Jude family will no longer be inherited by Michael.]
Immediately after, Julia also issued a statement: [The president of the Jude Group severs ties with Michael.]
Aaron Jude: [The vice president of the Jude Group severs ties with Michael.]
Carl: [Michael and Carl sever our kinship.]
The Jude family issued a series of statements.
The nation was shocked.
[What did Michael do to get kicked out of the Jude family and have everyone sever ties with him?]
[Michael must be an idiot. He had a father and sister with billions in assets and an uncle about to become president, yet he still managed to anger the entire Jude family.]
[I heard Michael insisted on being with Megan. The Jude family disapproved of Megan and favored his fiancée Laura more.]
[Of course, he is a family of the president. How could a woman like Megan, who is greedy and vain, fit in?]
In less than half an hour, Carl posted a beautiful photo of Laura on WhatsApp: [After many years of marriage, my wife and I always wanted a daughter. Fortunately, my wife and Laura get along very well. We have decided to take her as our goddaughter.]
Netizens were stunned again.
[I'm confused. So Michael was expelled from the Jude family because he didn't want to marry Laura?]
[I used to feel sorry for Laura, but now I'm almost envious. The future president's daughter is just like a princess!]
[If you can be a princess, why would you want to be Michael's fiancée?]
[I remember Laura was pelted with rotten eggs on the street three years ago. This story tells us never to look down on any woman. She might make a strong comeback someday.]
[I heard Laura used to chase after a senior in school but they broke up. Won't that senior regret it now?]
At this moment, Michael was dumbfounded by the series of public announcements.
He never expected James to be serious. He pondered, 'Dad quickly made the severance public, and the entire Jude family followed suit. Carl actually took Laura as his goddaughter. Laura, is she my cousin now? No, she was not my cousin. I am not even part of the Jude family anymore.'
He felt like crying. Although he had anticipated the worst outcome when he decided to make Laura have an abortion last night, he was still very upset when this moment arrived.
