Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 454 Scholarships Are Useless, Bearing a Son Is What Matters She was worried about James, for he only had three months left to live. She wanted to find the child Barbara had given birth to within these three months, but it seemed harder than finding a needle in a haystack. Having not slept all night, the next morning arrived with the sandstorm having ceased, and several executives from Ridgefield had come.

"Mr. Montague, it's good to see you unharmed." "We were scared to death yesterday when you..." The managers had wanted to chide him for leaving the villa in his car alone, but a warning look from Raymond made them hold their tongues.

The group drove back, and during the journey, Selena still sat with Raymond. She could feel Brian's gaze on her had beceven more complicated. It was a look of disappointment and heartache.

Just as they arrived at the entrance of Harmony Garden, Selena stepped out of the car and heard Megan cursing from a distance.

Megan marched over with large strides and raised her hand to slap Selena.

"You wretch! How dare you fool around with Raymond behind your husband's back; you're so shameless! Everyone, clook at this shameless act!" Megan stood with her hands on her hips, yelling, as if she wished to tarnish Selena's reputation on the spot.

Brian hadn't expected Megan to wait here just to embarrass Selena, especially in front of Raymond, whose face immediately turned sour.

"Megan, you should be resting at hfor the baby; what are you doing here causing a scene? Go back now!" "I won't go back! I want everyone to know the true face of this wretch!" Megan, driven by jealousy, couldn't understand what Selena had that she lacked. This man didn't fancy her but fancied Selena and even kept her by his side. They must have done something, she thought bitterly. She could only imagine what they might have done in bed.

With these thoughts, she was itching to slap Selena's face swollen.

Selena looked at Megan coldly. She was about to respond when Raymond stepped in front of her to shield her. Facing Raymond, Megan's face flushed. He was indeed handsome, the most handsman she'd ever seen. She found herself wishing she could bear his child. Raymond recognized the look in her eyes and disgust flashed through his own.

Megan was so frightened that she couldn't utter a word. As Brian stepped in to apologize, Raymond uttered a single word.

"Leave." Brian's face went pale, and he quickly pulled Megan away.

Megan, infatuated with Raymond's looks and wealth, suddenly thought that it must be because she was pregnant that he didn't fancy her.

It had to be the reason.

If she aborted this child, Raymond would surely fancy her and take her to New York to live the good life! She glanced at the car worth millions as greed filled her eyes.

If Selena, a married woman, could catch his eye, there was no reason he wouldn't fancy her.

Megan had been praised for too long and had becdelusional. In her mind, reading books was useless; bearing a son was what mattered. And she was just as beautiful as Selena.

So, once she got home, Megan insisted on having an abortion. She was determined to bear Raymond's child! "Why can Selena do it, and not me? Once I abort this child, Raymond will fancy me!" This statement made the faces of the three people in the house turn sour, but what could they do? Megan was still pregnant.

Jacob was shaking with anger.

"Can't you see your own face? Do you think you can compare to Selena?!" "Why can't I compare? I'm even prettier than her!" Jacob couldn't hold back and slapped her.

"Slap!" Megan covered her face in disbelief, and the next second, Jacob was struck by Brian.

"She's pregnant! I secretly asked the doctor and found out it's a boy! How dare you hit her, you scoundrel!" Jacob's face swelled from the slap, and he felt an overwhelming sense of injustice. His pregnant wife was clamoring for an abortion to have another man's child.

As a man, his pride was being trampled on the ground! "So, what if it's a boy? I doubt it's even mine!" As soon as these words cout, Megan's body shook uncontrollably.

Jacob's pupils shrank, and a fierce expression crossed his face.

"You wretch! It can't really be een.

someone else's child, can it? Let's go, we're doing a paternity test right now! I need to confirm if I'm the father!" Megan turned pale with fear and refused to go.

"Mom, Dad, please persuade Jacob; he's gone mad. This is your family's child!" But her expression was too guilty, and it was clear to anyone watching that she was nervous.

If she was truly carrying Jacob's child, she would have stood up m straight, gone to the hospital for a check-up, and then scolded everyone. But she didn't dare to go, and she was backing away in fear. Jacob, his scalp tingling with rage, slapped her again.

"You wretch! How dare you insult Selena! You're carrying someone else's child!" Brian and Erin tried to intervene, but Jacob kicked her several times in anger.

"I can't stay in this house any longer! I'm leaving right now!" With that, Jacob stormed out.

Brian and Erin called after him, "We haven't done the paternity test yet, Jacob, don't be hasty, it might be your son." But Jacob sped off on his motorcycle, leaving them behind.

Inside the house, Megan looked down at the pool of blood beneath her and let out a piercing scream before fainting.
