The One He Dismissed Became The One He Died For novel Chapter 130

As she hung up, Miles materialized just behind her shoulder.

The man's deep voice carried a hint of indiscernible amusement.

"You move fast, Claire."

She whipped around, instantly schooling her features into a mask of flawless concern.

"He's too dangerous. I was terrified he might actually hurt someone..."

Miles met her seemingly innocent, pure gaze and chose not to press further.

A bloodcurdling scream tore through the crowd.

"Ah!"

Vivian was violently yanked by her hair by George, thrown off balance until she crashed heavily onto the floor.

Still not satisfied, George delivered a vicious kick.

"You dare try to hide, you bitch? I'll kill you right here!"

Security guards finally rushed up from downstairs, swarming George and pinning him down.

Vivian lay curled on the ground, clutching her stomach in agony.

A bright patch of red was rapidly blooming across her trousers.

A blinding pain ripped through Vivian's lower abdomen, leaving her shaking uncontrollably.

Her baby...

She had to keep this baby!

It was the only thing she had left to tie Miles down to her.

Chaos erupted among the onlookers.

"Dr. Langford is bleeding!"

"Is she pregnant? Oh my god, get the OB-GYN up here!"

"I didn't even know Dr. Langford was seeing anyone. How did she get pregnant?"

The scene was absolute pandemonium.

George threw his head back and laughed. "A viper like you deserves to have her bloodline cursed!"

Thinking back to Claire's words and realizing how long this woman had played him for a fool, his fury was impossible to extinguish.

The elevator doors dinged open. Police officers surged out and immediately took custody of George.

Before coming to the hospital, she had anonymously forwarded all the evidence of George's corporate crimes straight to Director Langford—Vivian's father.

With his daughter brutally attacked, did George really think the Director would just let this slide?

Borrowing a knife to kill a rival—George was never seeing the outside of a prison cell again.

Much less using Jefferson as leverage to threaten her.

Miles stopped in front of her, his gaze dropping slightly. "Two birds with one stone. Satisfied now?"

She blinked, playing utterly clueless.

Changing the subject, she murmured, "I honestly had no idea Vivian was pregnant."

He replied frostily, "It has nothing to do with me."

"Of course I know it has nothing to do with you, Dr. Zimmerman."

Claire's voice was impossibly soft and coquettish, laced with an undeniable edge of smugness.

"After all, that night..."

"Your little swimmers were right in the palm of my hand~"
