Harley eventually hesitated. He didn't think that he'd be able to get over it.
Thea turned to face him as she heard this.
"What about Cutie Pie?"
He could not refute. Indeed, what about Cutie Pie? They were already here. If he backed out, there was nothing else he could do to help him.
"Let's go in!" Harley could only let out a wry smile.
There were many people in the club. After entering, Thea went straight to the front desk and gave the name of the person they were looking for.
The man at the front desk looked at Thea with an ambiguous look and smirked, "There's been quite a lot of women looking for Martin Jacobs recently. I agree that he looks handsome, but he's a sly fox that has cheated many people. However, I recommend you forget about him. He's with a rich woman now! He's not interested in an old hag like you!"
Right after he finished his words, Harley, who was behind Thea, grabbed the man by the collar.
"Don't talk nonsense. Where is Martin Jacobs?"
Harley was a trained professional. With a bit of strength, the man was already screaming in pain!
"He's inside. He's inside!"
Harley then loosened his grip and pulled Thea behind him, shielding her.
"This place is too chaotic. Follow me!"
They looked for the room he was in. The moment they opened the door, they were stunned by the scene inside!
There were several women in gorgeous clothes in the room. Each of them were accompanied by a man, their hands and legs wrapped around each other in the heat of the moment! The room was filled with the scent of smoke, cigarettes, food and perfume.
The mixture of smells were so strong that they were already frowning and holding their breath at the door.
Thea covered her nose and coughed before calling out.
"Martin Jacobs!"
Upon hearing this, a man whose face was covered with lipstick stains raised his head and glanced at Thea.
"Who's looking for me?"
His clothes were in a mess and his collar was wide open.
Thea was shocked. Was this man Cutie Pie's biological father? When she thought of how she had spent a night with him, Thea felt like stabbing herself to death!
At the thought of this, anger welled up in her chest. She dashed towards Martin and started bellowing.
"You're Martin Jacobs? How can you do this? You're a grown- up! How can you be so irresponsible? Have you ever thought of your child? Won't your child feel ashamed if he saw you like this?"
Martin was taken aback by the abrupt reprimanding.
When the rich woman next to him heard this, she got up and glanced at Thea with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.
"Who is this, Martin? Didn't you say that you don't have a girlfriend? I have been supporting you every day, but you've came up with this old hag to disgust me and chase me away?"
The rich woman had spent a lot of money on Martin. He had put in a lot of effort to get close to her. Naturally, he wouldn't give her up for Thea.
Upon hearing this, he immediately explained.
"It's not what you think. I don't know who this person is!"
After that, he reached out and shoved Thea away.
"Who the h*ll are you! Go somewhere else if you want to drink the night away after getting dumped. Don't disturb me here!"
Thea was angry and shouted, "You... Come with me!"
As she said this, she reached out to grab him but Martin avoided her.
"What are you doing? I already said that I don't know you."
"But I know you! Two years ago, in Rosaville City... Anyways, our child is sick now. You must go back with me..."
Upon hearing this, Martin cackled.
"That's right. I don't blame you for giving birth to my child, so don't blame me for asking this from you! You saw the rich woman from just now. Every day she was here, she would happily spend tens of thousands on me! I don't think you are a rich person, so I won't ask for much. Just give me 100 thousand dollars!"
Thea closed his eyes in resignation and gave in, "Okay! Come with me!"
The man raised his eyebrows and whistled at Thea. Then, he got up and walked out with Thea.
When he got to the door, he saw a man standing outside.
The man's face was cold and filled with contempt.
It was as if he was prepared to murder someone.
Martin was stunned for a moment and frowned suspiciously before muttering, "You look a little familiar..."
He couldn't recall it though, so he ignored it.
"Hey, where is your child? You asked me to save him, so what do I need to do? 100 thousand dollars is just my basic rate. If you need me to donate anything else from blood to blood marrow, I'll have to charge extra!"
Thea sneered, "That's your child!"
"So what? I didn't ask you to give birth to him!"
"You..." Thea gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. She told him, "It's not your bone marrow nor your blood. I need your help to conceive artificially. I need the blood from my umbilical cord!"
Martin was stunned and asked in bewilderment, "What? You want to give birth to another baby again? What's wrong with you?"
Thea frowned and explained impatiently, "My child is sick and needs the blood from the umbilical cord. You can be rest assured that I won't give the child to you. I will take care of the child myself!"
It was only then that Martin breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, he snickered.
"Why do you want to conceive artificially? It's not like we've never done it before. Why don't we do it once again?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a fist was already heading towards his face and was about to land smack into it!
