Since Angeline was in a bad mood, she couldn't help sounding bitterly sarcastic.
"I know!" uttered Gregory before quickly taking out his phone to show her his conversation with Ned.
"I scolded him too! Don't worry. When he asked if you had aborted the child, I told him you did. He won't know whether you decided to keep the baby or not."
She glanced through the chat interface and ultimately accepted the milk Gregory had brought as a gesture of kindness.
"Thank you," she said.
Seeing that she no longer resisted him, Gregory breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other end of the phone, Ned was lost in thought as he looked at the chat records with Gregory. He said that Angeline had already aborted the child.
He wondered how everything happened so fast and thought it must have been Sean's doing.
With Sean's current status, he wouldn't allow Angeline to be involved in a scandal. Due to Lawson Global being an independent producer of microchips and lithography machines, his influence in the business world was greater than before.
Recently, the most frequent thing Ned had heard from his mother was that he wasn't as competent as an adopted son of the Lawson family.
It was obvious. If Sean wasn't outstanding, why would the Lawsons adopt him?
Perhaps, the Lawsons' genes were naturally superior, considering Sean and also Angeline.
Before this, Ned didn't believe that Angeline was a renowned genius in Oceanford, until videos of her participating in various competitions were dug up by her family during "The Family Search" program.
Only then did he learn that no one had surpassed the records she had broken in Oceanford until today. In both domestic and international competitions, she had always won the champion on her first attempt, without any exceptions.
Even when interviewed by reporters before the competitions, she would simply say that she was participating under her coach's request so that she could broaden her horizons. After that, she would return with gold medals.
