Meredith's eyes turned firmer as she recalled the details. No matter who it was, no one could take her child away from her. She was the mother.
"If I were you, I wouldn't have such a shameful relationship with a man who was going to marry someone else, and I wouldn't have turned my child into a bastard that everyone despised."
Violet looked at Meredith coldly. It was because she was also a mother that she had to solve the problem caused by Meredith.
Only in this way could Derek's future be successful.
This was the only thing she could do as a mother.
"Even if it is true, so what? I will give him everything I can. I will not let him suffer. Will a child be happy without his mother's company?"
"Nonsense, Meredith. Look at you now. What can you give him? Money? Resources? Or what?"
Violet said disdainfully, "Being with an incompetent mother like you is the greatest misfortune of a child. For the sake of his future, I advise you to calm down and cooperate. When the child is born, then I can be kind enough to give you a sum of money so that you don't lose both money and your child."
Meredith's eyes widened. "I won't sell my child. Who do you think I am?"
Meredith was so stubborn that Violet worried that she would hurt her grandson if she kept getting emotional like this.
"In order to take care of your mood, I didn't want to say this, but, Meredith, aren't you curious how I know who your baby's father is?"
Meredith looked up at Violet as if she had been frozen. She thought about it, but she didn't dare to think about it, because no matter who it was, it wouldn't be what she wanted to hear.
Someone must betray her.
"Derek told me."
Violet said indifferently, even if she was lying, her face remained unchanged.
"No... Impossible..."
Didn't Derek never believe that it was his child?
Why would he say that to Violet?
"You were sent to the hospital by him. He had a paternity test done at that time. In fact, he already knew about it."
"Then why didn't he tell me? Why did he keep..."
Meredith felt that she was in chaos at all. Why did Derek do that?
"Of course it's because he's engaged to Chloe. Do you think he want an illegitimate child whose mother was you? the Bennetts is a famous family. How can they accept an illegitimate child?"
"You think he treats you well and gives you those things because he loves you? It's just his slight guilt. After all, it's sad that you're a pregnant woman who's not accepted by us."
Violet said word for word. Her words, like a sharp knife, stabbed into Meredith's heart, so painful that her breath became slow and difficult.
Derek... Knew?
He knew from the start that the child was his, just to marry Chloe, and he didn't want to admit the fact?
No, she didn't believe it. That man... How could he be so cruel?
"If that's the case, then why would he tell you? Since he doesn't want this child, why not let me raise him alone?"
"Of course it's because he's worried that you're insatiable. Even though you signed a confidentiality agreement, if you ever need money someday and change your mind about making a scandal with a paternity test, how much damage will it do to his reputation."
