Queen Of Revenge And Glory (Victoria and Jackson) novel Chapter 436

Chapter 436

“Because I’m pregnant As soon as Angelica finished speaking, Nathan suddenly stopped what he was doing

Before Angelica could even react, a slap landed hard across her face.

“Didn’t I tell you to take the pill?” Nathan snapped.

Angelica was completely stunned by the slap.

It took her a long moment to recover, her voice choked with sobs. “L… I just wanted to have a baby for you. Mr. Clark:

Nathan grabbed her face, his features twisted with rage. “Who do you think you are? You think you’re good enough to have my baby?”

With that, he stood up, yanked her hair hard, and flipped her over.

“Since you won’t listen and refuse to take the pill, fine. I’ll personally make sure you lose it!”

With that, his movements became even more violent.

“Mr. Clark, I promise I’ll never do this again! I’ll make an appointment tomorrow to terminate the pregnancy, just please, let me go…” Angelica pleaded desperately.

But her pleas fell on deaf ears. Her body was wracked with pain, growing worse with every moment.

Finally, Nathan let go of her, muttered a curse, threw on his bathrobe, opened the door, and had someone drag the unconscious Angelica away.

A pool of blood remained where Angelica had collapsed.

Nathan just shot it a cold glance and ordered someone to change the stained sheets.

But Angelica’s actions gave him an idea. ‘Lexi doesn’t want to be with me, does she?

‘But what if Lexi got pregnant with my child? Would she still resist me?‘

The next day, Victoria went with her father, Hector, to handle the lawsuit against Binder Medical.

Jackson had planned to head straight to the Thornton Group, but a call from Gerry summoned him back to the old Thornton residence.

Inside the old Thornton residence, the air in the study was heavy with tension.

Gerry sat upright in his chair, his face calm, but his eyes were sharp like a hawk, nothing could escape his gaze.

“Someone was in my study yesterday,” Gerry said, his voice low and serious, breaking the silence.

Jackson stood by the desk, his expression composed, betraying nothing.

Upon hearing Gerry’s words, he responded in a flat tone, “Did you find out who it was?”

Gerry fixed his gaze on Jackson, searching his grandson’s face for any reaction, but Jackson showed no sign of surprise.

Chapter 426

After a brief silence, Gerry asked in a heavy voice, “Jackson, what exactly were you trying to do by bringing Cary into the houser

Jackson flashed a faint, almost careless smile, his tone breezy. I brought Gary here to kill you

His words exploded in the study like a bolt of lightning Gerry’s eyes instantly darkened as he locked his gaze on Jackson “What did you just say?”

Jackson spoke with a breezy indifference, “Someone wanted Cary to make a move against you, but their real plan was to make you believe I was the mastermind

Gerry’s express darkened instantly, his voice harsh as he guessed, “Was it Xavier? Or Felix?

Jackson replied,terly calm, “Both

Gerry pressed Are you sure?”

Jackson reped, “I wasn’t sure before, but the moment you said someone had entered your study, I knew. Felix and Xavier are work together, trying to frame me for your murder by having Gary do it like I’d avenge my mother.”

“Your her?” Gerry’s brows furrowed even deeper. “What’s Gary got to do with your mother?

Jacks

replied, “Yes, Grandpa. My mother is Gary’s life saver.

Hong this, Gerry’s face grew even darker. He finally got the picture and said coldly. “Those two got some nerve. Using me

eir chess piece in this dangerous game? Don’t they care what happens if their plan blows up in their faces?”

son’s voice stayed calm as ever. “That’s exactly why they won’t let themselves fail. Even if Gary messes up, they’ll just nd someone else to take you out. They won’t rest until you’re dead.”

Gerry gave Jackson a searching look. “So, what about you? Did you ever suspect I killed your mother?”

Jackson was quiet for a moment, then said, “I did wonder, but without any evidence, I can’t just blame you.”

You’re too naive,” Gerry snorted. “Just like you said, there’s no evidence I killed your mother, but there’s also no evidence proving I didn’t.”

At that, Gerry suddenly stood up, walked over to the bed in the study, and gazed out the window. “You never met your grandmother, so you probably have no idea what kind of person she was.”

Jackson hadn’t expected Gerry to shift the conversation so suddenly and mention his grandmother.

Jackson stayed silent, knowing Gerry was about to say a lot more.

Sure enough, Gerry’s gaze grew distant as he started reminiscing. “Your grandmother was an heiress, but she never cared about business. She was obsessed with fortune–telling and spiritual stuff, always messing around with it.

“She was the one who chased after me, she even proposed herself. She said she’d read her own fortune and that we were a match made in heaven.”

He couldn’t help but scoff. “Match made in heaven? Oh, please. I never believed in any of that. I only agreed to date her because her family was well–off, and marrying her was a solid choice at the time.

“She told me I was born with a luck
