Love After One-night Stand with CEO -
Chapter 144: Is My Child Worth Only Three Million?
"Is 1.5 million not enough?"
"Rosa, must you force us to fall out?"
"Do you think you can rest easy with his protection?"
on the opposite side kept saying sarcastic words.
Asher's delicate face was twisted with anger from Rosa's so-called greed.
"Asher..."
Asher finally stopped talking.
Rosa spoke.
Asher was stunned.
"I don't care if you believe me or not. I've never thought about taking his money. And I've only been relying on my earnings. I will not get rid of my child!"
Asher's expression became darker and darker, and she was also amused by Rosa's words.
"Would you give birth to his child if you don't give his money?"
"I didn't intend to have this child, but now I've changed my mind. I am doing it for him and my brother."
She had not seen such excitement in Cecil's eyes in a long time.
She would do anything for Cecil, including giving birth to this child.
"Rosa, if you didn't know my brother or do this, I might be moved, but... do you think I would buy it?"
Rosa was sad.
The feeling of being misunderstood was not great.
But she forced a smile.
However, it turned out ugly.
"I don't need anyone to believe me. I have a clear conscience!"
Asher stood up. Her beautiful eyes were shining dangerously as she smirked.
"Rosa, this isn't fun!"
Rosa looked up at Rosa like Rosa's mother.
Cold and vicious.
Asher pushed the chair away and walked forward.
She tilted her head and glanced at Rosa. "I will give you three days to think about it. During these three days, feel free to look into my style of doing things. Think if you can go up against me." Rosa's face was pale, and her lips trembled slightly because of sadness.
She frowned. She took a deep breath and said in a choked voice, "Why are you all against it? Just because of my birth?"
Asher glanced at her and said, "Don't you know that some are destined to be losers in life?"
Rosa lowered her eyes, and tears were rolling in her eyes.
They were born different, so they were destined not to be together!
She could be stubborn.
She could be proud.
But in the face of his relatives' accusations.
She could do nothing about it.
At this moment, she was feeling as down as the weather.
"You are smart. Must you fall out with us and gain nothing in return to give up?"
The corner of Rosa's mouth twitched, and a sad smile appeared on her face.
She looked up at Asher's eyes which were full of sarcasm.
She said slowly, "What if I say no?"
Asher seemed to have expected that Rosa would say that. She smiled and said, "Well, we will take whatever you care about. If I am not wrong, you should care about your brother a lot, right?" Rosa's eyes widened. She got up and asked in a frightened voice, "What do you want to do?"
"Rosa, there's nothing that I don't dare to do for my family, even if I have to end someone's life. I will replace a way."
Asher was so cruel.
And she had the power to do such things.
It was the symbol of being born rich, powerful, and of high status.
Rosa smiled and burst into tears.
It was just how society worked.
Nothing would happen to the rich and powerful even if they broke the law.
On the contrary, commoners could do everything but still ended up imprisoned.
It was why Rosa said their birth made them different.
Asher turned on her phone, opened up a webpage, and threw the phone to Rosa.
Rosa lowered her head and read the post that was trending.
"Redwood Academy's campus belle kicked her teacher and seduced her best friend's uncle to get in position. Poor Miss Baker. Say no to being a mistress!"
Many students gave their statements and evidence they had in the comments.
This matter seemed to be set in stone.
It was no wonder the servants were calling Rosa ungrateful and scheming.
Everyone was calling her names and saying nasty things about her and her parents.
"I heard that Cecil is righteous. What will he think about these posts? By the way, your brother has a good reputation up till now, right? I heard that his teachers and classmates like him. Tell me, what would he say if they called and questioned him about you being a mistress?"
Rosa burst into tears.
Asher was mad!
They were all mad!
Asher looked at her crying sadly and knew she wasn't pretending.
She softened her tone and said, "This is just a warning. I don't mind if you want to proceed with this."
Rosa bit her lips and grabbed the table with both hands.
"Seeing that you've taken care of Miranda, I can't give you anything more than 3 million."
NOW PLAY YOUR
FAVOURITE GAMES ON
"3 million?" Rosa looked at Asher with tears in her eyes. Her body trembled from anger. "How generous..."
Asher smiled as she said, "I have dealt with more than one scandal for my husband. I might as well tell you that I have never shut someone up with more than 75 thousand."
After that, she chuckled, "Do you still think 3 million is too little?"
Rosa sneered and looked at Asher with red eyes. "Should I thank you?"
Asher raised her eyebrows as he said, "I'm glad that you're grateful. I offered so much for my brother's feelings for you, the unborn child, and that you have spent so much time comforting him. Well, it's not like I am doing it for the child. After all, I have killed more than a dozen children in these years!"
"Comfort?"
Rosa's face became paler and paler, and her bright eyes were hollow.
Was she just there to comfort him or be used for sex?
"You can live a life without worry with 3 million. You have a pretty face. I am sure you can start over once you get rid of the child and get away from this city!"
"Are my two children only worth 3 million?" An indifferent voice sounded.
The two trembled and looked back at the person who was talking.
Henry stood there with a cold expression.
Behind him was Denny, who was pushing Cecil.
Cecil frowned and held the armrest tightly with both hands.
They came in the end, didn't they?
Were they not going to let go of his sister?
Rosa wiped away her tears and stood still.
Seeing this, Asher frowned, feeling uncomfortable for a moment. Didn't Henry ask her to come home?
Why did he come back so suddenly?
Henry strode forward with no emotions on his beautiful face.
He walked up to Rosa and wrapped her in the blanket. He frowned and reprimanded her, "It's so cold outside. Your ears and face are red. Do you want to get sick?"
Rosa's eyes were red. She smiled, "You... you're back. And you brought Cecil with you."
There were tears in her eyes, but she forced herself to smile.
Henry saw them, and it broke his heart.
His heart ached.
He prompted her gently, "Hurry back to the house and warm up, okay?"
At this moment, Aunt Abbie ran over and said, "Madam, the chicken soup is ready. I'll get you some... Sir, you're back!"
Henry ordered, "Aunt Abbie, take Madam back and give her a cup of hot tea."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not quite right, Aunt Abbie quickly nodded and supported Rosa.
Denny was a smart person. He immediately pushed Cecil in.
The cool wind blew in.
Henry sat in the chair Rosa was in before.
He looked up and looked at Asher coldly. "Sister, when have you become so generous to use 3 million to buy the lives of my two children?"
Asher didn't know how to react. She frowned and found it hard to believe. "T-Twins? Is she pregnant with twins?"
He squinted and smiled coldly. "What, are you going to double the price if it's twins? Is it going to 6 million?"
"Henry..."
"I can understand if Mom disagrees and acts irrationally, but how can you stop me?"
Looking at the mocking smile in his eyes, Asher felt a little scared.
"Henry, we are doing this for your own good!"
Without saying a word, Henry put his hand on the handle of the chair, tapping on it with his fingers.
Asher sat down, frowned, and said, "You have worked so hard in the past ten years to get your current status. What's good about her? Her looks or figure?"
With this, she sighed, "What's wrong with Paige? She is beautiful, educated, and has a reputable family. The whole City C will be yours if you get together."
Henry looked at her coldly.
"And?"
"And? If you marry Paige, the Lewis family will grow more glorious. Everyone in our family will benefit from it. Besides, no one will bully our family!"
His eyes darkened.
"Fine, even if you like Rosa, you can marry Paige and be with Rosa. Which rich man doesn't have a few women? I can cover for you."
As long as he agreed to be with Paige, nothing would be a problem.
Hearing this, Henry sneered. His eyes narrowed with mockery.
"Well, then. You won't have a problem if I cover up for your husband, right? With my ability, I can cover up a few. Even ten should not be a problem. How about this? His happiness is good for you too, isn't it? The less you know, the more harmonious of a family you are, am I right?"
Asher's face darkened.
"Henry Lewis, I'm doing this for your own good. How dare you bite the hand feeding you?"
Henry's face darkened, and his gaze became even colder.
"All of you have seen my hard work and struggles. Why must you interfere with my happiness? All you care about is the family business!"
Asher frowned, feeling uneasy.
"Go back and tell Mom I will give the Lewis Group that she is proud of as a wedding gift!"
Asher was stunned. She could not believe it. "A wedding gift? For whom?"
As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes widened, and she exclaimed in shock, "Henry, you're crazy!"
"You stopped the reporters and slandered her online and even asked her to get rid of my children. Aren't you crazy?" Henry's eyes were cold. "No one can hurt her, you are the same!"
The moment he got together with her.
He had said that he would do his best to protect her from now on.
He suppressed public opinion.
"You can't be serious, can you?" Asher frowned in disbelief.
He squinted at Asher, smiled, and said word by word, "Go back and tell them that I, Henry Lewis, will give her a grand wedding!"☐☐☐☐☐
