Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 352

Earlier at the Gildon estate, I had exposed Jewel's lies and schemes, so she had to be furious now.

Jewel stared at me as she gripped my car door. For a moment, I thought she was going to rip it open, drag me out, or try to hit me. Instead, she dropped to her knees in front of my car.

That took me by surprise.

I figured she might beg, but I didn't expect her to kneel.

It seemed that she was willing to do whatever it takes.

Honestly, I wasn't bothered by her kneeling. After all, she stole my fiancé.

But with her pregnant, her kneeling position might harm the baby. If anything happened, it would surely be mine to blame.

So, how could I let her stay on her knees?

Still, I wasn't going to get out to help her. She was using her pregnancy as leverage, and if I showed too much concern, she would only push further.

I scoffed, a mocking smile playing on my lips.

"Ms. Massey, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"Madeline, I'm begging you to spare me and my child. Please, give my baby a chance," Jewel pleaded.

It was half past three, and the sun was at its hottest, blazing down on her.

She was using her child as an excuse again. It seemed Ian's unborn baby had become her shield. Despite that, I wasn't going to fall for it.

I asked coolly, "What have I done to you that you need me to spare you?"

Jewel's lips trembled.

"Ms. Crown, I admit it was wrong to take Chris from you. But I just wanted a better life. It's natural to move up in the world. I don't think I did anything wrong."

Wow. Moving up in the world?

She even believed that she had done nothing wrong.
