Betrayed? I Upgraded to His Billionaire Brother novel Chapter 305

Chapter 305

Tearing this, Eleanor grew even more agitated. “You mean… this child is your ex–husband’s 7” In a normal relationship, why hide a pregnancy?

That ex? It took me a second to realize she meant Zane. I hadn’t mentioned my history with Gavin to her.

jeeing my silence, Eleanor slapped the desk in frustration. “You silly girl! You’re already separated, why would you keep his child. It was just asking for

ardship. Raising a child alone wasn’t easy. Growing up in a broken home could affect the child’s development.

pressed my lips together. “It was an accident. But I’m definitely keeping it.”

leanor was at a loss. Why keep the child of such a spineless man? But it wasn’t her place to decide. She could only resolve to look after this girl more in the

uture.

he still had to vent. “Your heart is in the right place. It is a life. But that ex–husband of yours is truly worthless!”

inally, I understood her ‘ex‘ was Zane.

Third–person POV

It that moment, the ‘worthless‘ Zane was driving back to the Grayson main residence. The butler had called him twice, saying his mother had fallen ill from

nger.

hey were still mother and son. During his lunch break, he came to check.

t was the Grayson family lunch hour. The matriarch sat at the head of the table, Victoria and Amelia on either side. A picture of harmony at first glance.

Cane’s arrival shattered it.

Victoria’s face instantly turned cold. “Weren’t you cutting ties? What are you doing back *here*?”

Enough of that!” The rarely angered Grayson matriarch slammed her chopsticks on the table. “Even if ties were cut, this is Xiao Chuan’s home. He is the true Grayson heir.”

Both Victoria and Amelia jumped.

Victoria was just upset her son kept defending an outsider. But the matriarch’s words left her no face, essentially saying if she pushed Zane to disown her, she

would be the one to leave.

Grandmother, don’t be angry. Your blood pressure,” Zane said gently, taking the empty seat. He waited for a servant to bring utensils, then spoke calmly. “It was ny fault for upsetting Mother. She’s venting. It’ll pass.”

learing this, Victoria’s expression softened slightly. “So you know it was your fault? For a woman-”

Enough!” The matriarch cut her off impatiently. “Take the olive branch. Xiao Chuan rarely comes home for a meal. Must you cause a scene?” Her tone brooked To argument. “You shouldn’t have interfered in his divorce from Elara. Now, stay out of his business affairs.”

Mother…” Victoria finally snapped. “You don’t understand! He wants to risk our entire family for that wretched girl-”

¡efore Zane could react, the matriarch interrupted again. “Since the Grayson enterprise is in his hands, neither you nor I should question his decisions. I trust

e’s not a fool. He knows his limits.”

…” Fuming, Victoria was about to retort when Amelia, seated beside her, suddenly grimaced, covered her mouth, and bolted for the bathroom.

The matriarch frowned. “Could she be…”

Impossible.” Victoria had noticed this days ago. “She wouldn’t dare have some bastard child. She just ate something dodgy and ruined her stomach.”

That reminded Zane. His face impassive, he stood. “I’ll check on her.”

Amelia had avoided all meat dishes, but even the smell of beans had turned her stomach. She retched until only bile remained, finally feeling a little better.

After washing her face, she opened the door to find Zane waiting, his expression frosty.

The corner of his mouth lifted, his voice icy. “Pregnant?”

Amelia, genuinely afraid of him now, denied it quickly. “N not”

Sure?” He gave a cold smile. “Ill call the hospital. You can go for a check up this afternoon.” The Graysons owned a private hospital.

Amelia paled. “Zane, 1-”

What did I tell you?” All trace of a smile vanished. “Find time to get rid of it.” He looked down at her, his tone deathly cold. “Don’t drag it out. Or when i make ime to take you, you’ll suffer.”

ter legs weakened. Whatever schemes she harbored, she acquiesced immediately. “…Ill go soon.”

Oh,” he stopped her as she turned to leave, a sudden thought striking him. “What foods usually make you nauseous?”

Why do you ask?” she shot back instinctively, but under his terrifying gaze, she answered truthfully. “Anything fishy, greasy.. like fish, fatty meat…”

Fatty meat?”

Yes. Like braised pork belly. I used to love it, can’t stand it now.”

he didn’t know if she imagined it, but after she said this, Zane’s face darkened as if a storm cloud had settled over it.

Cane didn’t know how he left the Grayson estate. He couldn’t even focus on the child in Amelia’s womb, his mind consumed by Elara.

-Upset stomach.

How clumsy.

Driven by instinct, he headed for Ming An Clinic.

He didn’t find Elara, but he found Elias.
