Chapter 117 Uncertain Paternity of the Child
There were similar speculations going around. Rupert Wells, who had been following Fiona and Ashton, had made his appearance. After buying baby clothes and shoes and feeling tired, the two of them were preparing to head back. Just as they found their car and were about to get in, Rupert Wells rushed out. He grabbed Fiona's wrist tightly.
"Oh my god!" Ashton exclaimed, rushing over from the driver's seat and grabbing Rupert Wells' hand. "Let go of her! What are you doing?"
"I should be asking you, Ashton. What are you up to?" Rupert Wells glared at Ashton fiercely, disappointment written all over his face. "I thought you genuinely cared for Fiona, but it turns out you've also been swayed by Darwin's money, haven't you?"
"Shame on you!" Ashton spewed angrily at Rupert Wells. "Look at the car I drive and the clothes I wear. Do I look like I need money?"
Fiona nearly burst into laughter at Ashton's words. "Exactly, you don't lack money, so why would you push Fiona into a pit?" Rupert Wells asked maliciously. "Do you think Darwin is a good person?"
"What kind of person he is, and what does that have to do with you?" Fiona wanted to free herself from Rupert Wells' grip, but he held on particularly tight, and Fiona felt the pain.
"Fiona, are you pregnant?" Rupert Wells asked in a low voice.
"What's it to you?" Ashton retorted angrily. "Rupert Wells, I thought you're someone with a brain. We used to get along fine, and now you want me to call the police and make things ugly?"
Rupert Wells seemed as if he hadn't heard Ashton's words. He continued speaking on his own, "Fiona, while the child is still young, let me accompany you to have an abortion, and then I'll take you away. I'll help you continue with your studies! You can't go on like this; you should be an educated woman, not a plaything of the wealthy!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Ashton insisted, not allowing Fiona and Rupert Wells to have a conversation. "They are doing well, deeply in love, and about to get married!"
"Married...married?" Rupert Wells looked astonished. "How is that possible? How could Darwin marry you?"
Fiona coldly smiled. "Yes, that's the difference between you and him. You think I can't possibly marry Darwin, but he believes I am worth it."
"Are you truly determined?" Rupert Wells asked in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Fiona replied firmly.
Rupert Wells slowly released his grip and took two steps back. Suddenly, he turned around. Ashton quickly blocked Fiona, ready for a decisive battle at any moment.
"Five years...truly capable of changing everything."
Five years ago, you were forced to be by that demon's side. Now, even though you can leave, you willingly refuse to go! Fiona, I can't wait to see how he treats you like garbage! Don't blame me later for not saving you!"
"Who asked for your help? Stop being delusional!" Ashton spoke, opened the car door, and pushed Fiona inside. Then she quickly got into the car herself and disappeared in a cloud of dust.
Rupert Wells stood there, watching the vehicle fade into the distance. Regret washed over him once again.
He harshly slapped himself, saying, "Why can't you learn? Why did you have to say such cruel words to her? What did she do wrong? It's Darwin! It's Darwin who's deceived her!"
"Fiona!" Rupert Wells hurriedly ran after the car. After taking a few steps, he tripped over a speed bump and fell hard. His head nearly hit a nearby red sports car.
Wyatt nibbled on his fingernails, his eyes filled with helplessness. He was just coming to pick up her new girlfriend, and as soon as he was about to get out the car, he saw Fiona. Considering how strange Fiona was, starting from their time in New Port, every time he saw her, he couldn't sleep at night. He decided to hide in the car and wait until Fiona left before getting out.
But who could have guessed? He overheard some explosive gossip. Fiona is pregnant? Darwin wants to marry her. And there's someone who doesn't know their place, trying to steal Fiona away from Darwin? If they can't succeed, they curse Fiona for being unworthy?
Wyatt stopped biting his nails, opened the car door, and got out. He deliberately approached Rupert Wells, who was crying on the ground. Without looking at him, Wyatt stepped on his hand directly. Due to the bad angle, he couldn't clearly see which hand had touched Fiona, so he simply stepped on whichever one.
"Ah!!" Rupert Wells screamed in pain.
Wyatt put both hands in his coat pockets and glanced down at Rupert Wells, saying, "What are you doing lying in front of my car? Trying to scam me?"
"I...I didn't..."
Wyatt reached into his wallet and took out two hundred-yuan bills.
"If you're begging, do it far away from me and don't dirty my new car."
After throwing the bills onto Rupert Wells' face, Wyatt didn't bother listening to anything else he had to say. With his long legs, he walked away at a fast pace to the entrance of the elevator. The store manager of the luxury boutique had long been waiting there.
"Mr. Durham, it's been a while since you last came!"
"Busy, no time to talk about girlfriends."
As Wyatt spoke, his gaze fell somewhere. Just a glimpse of a woman's back, and she looked familiar. But he couldn't quite remember who she was. Hopefully, not some ex-girlfriend?
Wyatt dreaded ex-girlfriends, always crying and causing a scene. He quickly pressed the elevator button and left.
Much later in the day, after that incident with Ruper t happened, Wyatt woke up from a deep sleep, remembering that person. The back, it was Hathaway.
Meanwhile, Hathaway sat back in the car. Her heart was beating fast. She had just recorded the entire argument between Fiona and that man. As if she couldn't believe it. She listened to it several times.
The more she listened, the more frantic Hathaway's expression became. The delicate princess's mask shattered to pieces. Fiona is really pregnant, and Darwin still wants to marry her!
If he marries her, what about her?
Fiona, this bitch! She said she would leave Darwin, but secretly got pregnant!
Wait! Does Darwin know about the pregnancy? Could it be that he was so eager to break the engagement because Fiona is pregnant?
Hathaway was on the verge of going crazy. She immediately went back to find Jones. Ever since she found out about Eric's recorded phone call. She had been filled with fear for phones. For such an important matter, she only dared to speak to Jones face to face.
After hearing it, Jones said in a deep voice, "Whether this child is Darwin's or not is hard to say. I've looked into her chaotic personal life."
"Not Darwin's?" Hathaway's eyes lit up.
Jones looked at her and said, "Miss, although you and Darwin are no longer possible, we cannot bear this loss. So, regardless of whether Fiona's child is Darwin's, it must not be!"
"Are you saying..."
"I will handle it perfectly. Rest assured, I will select the most suitable scapegoat from Fiona's men!"
Hathaway had great confidence in Jones. After breaking the engagement with Darwin, she regretted not listening to Jones earlier. She had turned a blind eye to the obvious.
Pregnancy, that's all it was. If Fiona could do it, so could she!!
"Jones, I'm counting on you this time." Hathaway tightened her grip on Jones's hand.
