Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 762

Katherine said firmly, "Mom, you don't need to worry about this. I have my plans."

"Your plans?" Vivian was immediately enraged, raising her voice, "Katherine, do you even realize what you're saying? Pregnant out of wedlock! How will the Santos family ever show our faces again if this gets out? You've been abroad for a while. Even if you don't say anything, people can guess what happened. Our family's reputation is slowly recovering, and now you're pregnant!

"Katherine, have you considered how much the Santos family has sacrificed for you? And now, you're jeopardizing everything with this child! If you don't tell us who the father is, then let's schedule an appointment for an abortion right now!"

Vivian grabbed her hand tightly, and Katherine was stunned, firmly resisting. "I won't!"

"What did you say!" Vivian exclaimed.

"I said I won't let you control my life anymore. I'm going to have this baby!" Katherine said firmly.

Vivian was stunned. "Have the baby? You're a Santos, and being pregnant out of wedlock will bring a huge scandal! With an unknown father, this child is just a burden! Do you realize how hard it is to raise a child?"

"I know that! But I won't regret it!" Katherine said firmly.

Vivian, enraged, said, "Fine, have the baby! If you insist on having this child, then consider yourself no longer my daughter!"

Katherine took a deep breath and said with a bitter smile, "Mom, back when I didn't want to be with Dale, you threatened me the same way, insisting I think about the family's reputation. I had no choice but to be with him. You've already used the Santos family to control my life once. I've already been through so much. Now, I want to live for myself. I will have this baby, no matter how hard it gets, I will see it through."

After finishing her words, Katherine pushed Vivian out the door. Vivian, enraged, shouted from outside, "Katherine, you must be out of your mind! Let me tell you, you won't have this baby as long as I'm here! Do you think you can make a mockery of the Santos family's reputation? I won't allow it!"

Katherine was resolute, ignoring Vivian's protests. She was determined to have the baby, regardless of the consequences. This time, she chose to break free from the expectations of being a Santos daughter and forge her path. She believed she could find fulfillment and happiness with her child even without a partner.

Katherine packed her belongings inside while Vivian pounded on the door, shouting, "Katherine, come out here! I'm telling you..."

The door swung open with a creak, and Vivian's voice suddenly stopped. Seeing Katherine with her suitcase, Vivian was taken aback. "What are you doing? You're leaving? You're leaving for a child with an unknown father?"

"Mom, I've made my decision. If you can't accept this, then I have to leave," Katherine said as she started to walk out. Vivian, seeing this, panicked and hurried to grab her. "No, Katherine, you can't leave. It's all my fault—I'm just worried about you! Please don't go. Stay, and I'll help you. It's just having a baby—we can support you!"
