Chapter 1174

[ 746 words ]

Leon’s headache only got worse.

After hearing Lucas put it that way, he knew exactly how serious the situation had become.

“Have you thought of any way to handle ?” Lucas asked.

Truthfully, from where he was standing, the Redson family had backed Leon into a dead end.

Aside from marrying Monique, there didn’t seem to be any other way out.

Lucas was curious to see whether Leon could come up with something.

But judging from how irritated he looked, clearly he hadn’t.

Leon rubbed his temples.

“Do you have any good ideas? And don’t tell me to let Jennifer go.”

Anything but that.

No one knew what Leon had gone through during the time Jennifer was gone from Harbor City.

Especially after the baby…

Every time he thought about the child she had once been carrying, the pain was almost unbearable.

Lucas sighed.

“Your family couldn’t even accept her when she was pregnant. What kind of solution do you expect me to have?”

It was a complete dead end.

“If you want to be with Jennifer, then unless she suddenly turns out to come from some powerful, prestigious family, forget it.”

Wasn’t that exactly what the Redson family cared about?

Other than that, there was probably nothing that could make them accept Jennifer.

Leon fell silent.

His chest felt even heavier.

If Jennifer had that kind of background, they never would have ended up in this situation in the first place.

While Leon was meeting Lucas, Vivian went to see Jennifer again.

Her gaze immediately settled on Jennifer’s stomach, dark and probing.

Before Leon left, he had specifically told the staff not to let Monique into the villa.

In fact, he had told them not to let anyone in.

But when Vivian, Mrs. Redson herself, showed up, no one dared stop her.

Jennifer noticed where she was looking

“Stop staring. The baby’s gone.”

She said it bluntly.

She knew exactly what these people were worried about.

And since she already knew there was no future between her and Leon, she saw no reason to pretend.

She got straight to the point.

Jennifer had never been the type to bend over backward trying to please people.

If someone openly disliked her, she wasn’t going to force herself to cozy up to them.

Vivian picked up the tea in front of her and took a sip.

“If you’d already left Harbor City, why didn’t you hide somewhere better? Why did you let him find you?”

There was clear displeasure in her tone.

She was actually blaming Jennifer for not hiding well enough.

Jennifer’s expression darkened.

Felix, that bastard.

He’d better pray she never got the chance to settle the score with him.

If she ever did, she was going to strangle him herself.

She had been hiding perfectly well.

If Felix hadn’t leaked her whereabouts to Leon, there was no way Leon would have found her.

And Felix had actually dared to do it.

Wasn’t he worried Leon might notice something suspicious?

Out of that whole group of men, Leon had always been the one least capable of keeping his mouth shut.

If he figured out the truth, there was a real chance he would accidentally let something slip.

When Jennifer didn’t answer, Vivian narrowed her eyes.

“You did it on purpose, didn’t you?”

Jennifer lifted a brow.

Then she gave a cold laugh.

“What, you think I was playing hard to get?”

“If I’d wanted to lure your son back to me, I would’ve kept the baby.”

Vivian’s breathing tightened at the blunt response.

Jennifer looked at her calmly.

“ Yes, your son and I were together once. But Mrs. Redson, I’m not someone who’ll swallow every insult

thrown at me.”

“From the day you tried to get rid of me with a hundred dollars, there was never going to be any future between your son and me.”

Just thinking about Vivian trying to send her away with a hundred dollars was almost laughable.

That had been the moment Jennifer first seriously started thinking about leaving Leon.

And now Vivian actually believed Jennifer had deliberately let herself be found?

Vivian’s eyes narrowed.

“So you still want to leave?”
