The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1797

"It's exactly because I know that I don't dare take the gamble."

"I'm sorry, Lincoln, but I refuse to spend the rest of my life suffocated by a mortgage."

"And I refuse to bring a child into this world just to watch them suffer the same financial struggles I did."

Bianca unconsciously placed a hand over her stomach.

Lincoln's face went completely dead. "Are you pregnant with his child?"

"No." Bianca instinctively took a step back, putting distance between herself and Lincoln.

She looked at him as if she expected him to physically attack her.

The sight of her cowering felt like a knife to Lincoln's eyes.

"Just go. From now on, we are nothing to each other."

They had been together for years, and Lincoln really didn't want to drag this out with vicious insults.

Besides, a heartless woman like Bianca wouldn't care anyway.

"You promised, so you better not say anything to Mr. Green..."

Before Bianca could finish her sentence, Lincoln cut her off. "Don't worry. I will never mention our past to your new boyfriend."

Whether Yanni found out through other channels, however, was entirely out of his control.

Just like Claire and Dane, Lincoln highly doubted Yanni genuinely cared about her.

"Thank you, Lincoln."

A sudden, intense wave of regret washed over Bianca.

Lincoln was still exactly the same—always looking out for her!

If he hadn't caught her red-handed, she truly wouldn't have had the heart to dump him.

Bianca took a few steps forward, reaching out to hug him one last time, just like she used to.

But Lincoln's freezing glare stopped her dead in her tracks.

"I... I just wanted one last hug."

"I'll pass. Have some self-respect."

The sheer ice in Lincoln's voice forced Bianca to finally accept reality: she had completely lost this man.

Lincoln was a man of strict principles; once a line was crossed, he was merciless.

She had already weighed her options and made her choice. Now, she had to wake up and face the brutal truth that he would never be hers again.
