Need You Now
Chapter 210 Alliance By Marriage

In Wilson's villa, with a poker face, Hearst looked at the people of the Tan family and the Liu family. With a gentle smile on his face, Wilson said, "Why are you here, Hearst?"

"Are you going to discuss with me about Ada? Hearst, think it over. Do you want to take the responsibility?" Jina said with a smile.

With his legs crossed, Hearst looked at the two families opposite calmly. Before long, Heidy came in the house. Seeing her, Brown said unhappily, "Why do you ask this woman to come here, Hearst?"

Sitting down next to Hearst, Heidy said calmly, "I'm his wife. This is my home. Why can't I come? Mr. Brown, watch your mouth."

Brown snorted. When he was about to speak, he saw Ada appeared with a pale face under the lead of two servants. Upon seeing that, Jina stood up and asked anxiously, "Ada, what's wrong with you? Did you get bullied by Hearst?"

Ada looked at Hearst with a complicated feeling. She didn't expect that it would come to light so soon.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start." Then Hearst said with a blank face, "First of all, there is a recording." Then, he cast a glance at Assistant Liu. The latter understood and played a recording.

When they heard the content of the recording, everyone was shocked. Nick found it hard to believe. The content was exactly the conversation he had with Ada a few days ago. "How come..." Nick said gently.

After Hearst glanced at everyone, he said, "I'll tell you what happened that night. Someone drugged me, and I fell asleep when I got back to room. I slept deeply, so I couldn't have sex with Ada. Then, Ada asked Nick to have sex with her and she said that she was raped by me."

Before he finished his words, Brown said, "It's impossible. You are the one who forced Ada to have sex with, and you are the father of this child. We still need to replace out whether the recording is true or not."

Upon hearing this, Nick hurriedly echoed, "Yes, yes. I was drunk that night and talked nonsense. I haven't done anything with Ada."

Seeing that both of them didn't want to admit it, Hearst said slowly, "I took Ada to the hospital for the prenatal checkups today. And she has admitted in person that her child is not mine. If you still want to argue, just do a DNA test and everything will be clear."

The Liu family went silent when they heard this. "It seems that you have already known it. You work together to set me up, right?" said Hearst in a cold tone.

When Wilson realized that something was wrong, he raised his hand and slapped on Nick's face. "Dad, why did you..." Nick asked surprisingly.

"You son of a bitch! How could you do this to your younger brother? Even if you like Ada, you shouldn't have promised her," Wilson interrupted him angrily.

After all, they got along with each other. So Nick understood his meaning soon. He immediately lowered his head and said, "Dad, I'm sorry. I just didn't want to refuse Ada. I didn't expect... I'm sorry, Hearst. I should have refused her in the first place. I'm so sorry..." Hearing this, Brown said angrily, "You..."

Heidy looked at the messy situation coldly. She had a new understanding of how shameless the Tan family's members were. "Since it has happened, you have to solve the problems," said Heidy smilingly.

Ada stared at her and said, "I've decided not to have this child."

"Miss Ada, didn't you say that an abortion would lead to lifelong infertility? I don't think it's a good idea. The price is too high," said Heidy slowly.

Ada looked at her with a livid face. Her chest heaved with anger. Then, Hearst said abruptly, "I remember our family always wanted to ally with the Liu family by marriage. Since Ada is pregnant with Nick's child, and she can't have an abortion, marrying him is the best choice." Before he finished speaking, Ada refused in a loud voice, "No, I will never marry him. I don't want the baby. It's just an accident."

Upon hearing her refusal, Hearst squinted and said in a cold voice, "Ada, didn't you force me to be responsible for you for the reason that you couldn't get pregnant if you have an abortion? Why can you have an abortion right now? Or did you lie to me before? I hate liars the most. Ada, have you considered it clearly?"

Ada was angry and clenched her fists. In order to not have an abortion, Ada asked the doctor to tell a lie. But now, Hearst used this excuse to threaten her. At the thought of this, Ada was very furious.

Hearing his words, Wilson said calmly, "Since what's done is done, we must replace a solution. Brown, why don't they get married? Ada, how about you marry my eldest son?"

"No way! I don't want it!" Ada yelled, "I absolutely won't marry such a disgusting man."

Upon hearing her insult, Nick smiled and said, "Ada, you are nothing better than me. In fact, I don't want to marry you either. But since you are pregnant, I can reluctantly agree."

Ada stared at him with anger, her face livid with rage. After she turned around and threw herself into her parents' arms, Ada cried, "Father, mother, I won't marry him. I want an abortion. I won't give birth to the baby."

When Jina was about to open her mouth, she heard Hearst say in a plain tone, "Recently, you have been spreading rumors around, saying that the child's father is me. In this case, I will definitely not agree with Ada to abort her child. Or others may think that I have forced you. Uncle, I give you two choices. First, let Ada marry Nick."

"What about the other choice?" Brown asked.

Hearst then cast a cold glance at Ada, and said casually, "I will make the Liu Group suffer a great loss in a month. Your three factories and a materials supplier seems to be in trouble."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Brown looked at him and asked, "It is you?"

Crossing his hands, Hearst said in a calm tone, "It is a small gift. I will take revenge for the insult. You've been scheming against me recently and I should teach you a lesson. Ada, if you don't marry Nick, your family will be responsible for your conduct." Ada looked at her parents dejectedly, while her father seemed to be struggling. She was clear about her father's choice. "Ada, how about you and Nick getting married?" said Brown seriously.

With tears in her eyes, Ada shook her head and said, "No, I don't want to marry such a bastard."

Patting her head, Brown said helplessly, "You shouldn't take risks like this. Now, there's nothing we can do."

Ada said with anger, "I won't marry Nick." Then, she ran outside.

Then, in a calm voice, Hearst said, "Mr. Brown, if Ada didn't marry Nick and her child have any accidents, I'm afraid your company would suffer great losses. Don't blame me for being ruthless then." Brown and Jina knew it was a clear threat. They sprang to their feet and rushed out of the room.

For a moment, only the Tan family's members were in the house. "Hearst, about this..." When Wilson was about to say something, he was interrupted by Hearst coldly.

"No more nonsense! Fuck off!" said Hearst fondly.

Perceived his anger, Wilson sighed softly, stood up and said, "Then I'll go first." Then, he left with Nick.

The lively living room suddenly became quiet. Seeing the facial expressions on Hearst's face, Heidy gripped his hand and said, "Don't be angry, Hearst. It's not worth being angry that for them."

Then, Hearst turned his head to look at the woman sitting next to him. With a slight smile on his lips, he said, "It's all right. This matter has finally been solved. I'm sorry to have upset you these days."

Hearing his apology, Heidy shook her head and said calmly, "It doesn't matter. In fact, I can understand that. The whole thing was well planned. If we didn't record the conversation between Ada and Nick that day, it would be hard for us to replace the evidence." Based on what she had learnt, risk was involved in the DNA identification of the fetus, which required voluntary principles. If Ada insisted on not doing the examination and they didn't have any evidence, it was very likely that the secret would be further concealed. "Yes, it's true. Ada is smarter than I think." Then he said in a low voice, "It's all my fault. If I had been more vigilant, nothing like this would have happened."

With a bitter smile, Heidy said sarcastically, "Since you can't even trust your family, who else can you trust. I didn't expect you to be schemed by your family."

Hearst said coldly, "In their eyes, I'm not their family. It was Ada's punishment to marry a man she didn't love and have a child. After this accident, I can also sever my relationship with my family."

Heidy opened her arms and hugged him. She said to Hearst with a smile, "From now on, you have me, Gavin and Elsa. That is enough."

Then, Hearst raised his hand and put it on her hair, and gently replied, "Well, I'm satisfied with it."

In silence, she rested her head on his chest. After this accident, she understood better the importance of cherishing each other. No one was sure whether they would go separate ways because of the unsolved misunderstandings. The most important thing right now was to cherish the present.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
