Zachary had not been having a good time lately. For the past few weeks, most of Gomez Group’s major projects had encountered problem after problem.

The ventures his friends had roped him into investing had also caused him to lose money. Some of his business partners had pulled out their investments as well.

Zachary had been extremely busy, running about, attending meetings and social gatherings.

In the afternoon, Wendy had dropped by Zachary’s office. Surprisingly, she wasn’t wearing any makeup or perfume this time. She smiled brightly and said, “Zachary, I have a surprise for you.”

Zachary was too busy, nor was he in the mood to entertain her. He looked through his documents and said in annoyance, “Just say what you need to say. I’m very busy.”

Smiling, Wendy sat on Zachary’s desk and said, “Zachary, I’m sure you’ll be elated with the news.”

Then, she pulled out a medical report and handed it to him with a smile. “Zachary, you’re going to be a father.”

His expression faltered, and he quickly snatched the medical report from her. “What did you just say?”

Wendy’s expression was filled with joy as she said excitedly, “I’m pregnant, and you’re going to be a dad!”

His expression darkened as he stared at the report. Then, he said sternly, “Abort it. You can’t have this baby!”

“What did you say? Are you joking with me? That’s our child! Why should I abort it?” Wendy’s smile faltered, and shock flooded her face.

Scoffing, Zachary replied, “It’s because I don’t want the baby. It’s as simple as that.”

“Zachary!”

Wendy got down from his desk and stood before him. She pointed at him angrily and shouted, “Zachary, you bastard!”

His eyes remained cold and indifferent as he said, “Don’t make me repeat myself. Abort it.”

“I refuse. The baby is also a part of me, and I give birth to it if I want to. You don’t have a say in this! At most, I’ll just be a single mother!” Wendy shouted in a fit of rage.

“How much money do you want in return?” Zachary asked coldly.

Wendy was infuriated as she shouted, “Money? That baby is your own flesh and blood. Are you trying to use money to bargain for the baby’ life? Are you even human? Even a beast wouldn’t kill its@wn

child!” , ne

Zachary glared at her coldly. “Let’s just be frank here. When you give birth to the baby, you’ll want me to take responsibility, but I don’t have the time to raise a child now.”

Wendy refused to back down as she glared at him and sneered. “You were the one who was so focused on your own pleasure and refused to wear a condom.

“You even promised me that you’ll take responsibility if I got pregnant. Now that I’m pregnant, you refuse to take any responsibility.”

His expression was filled with disdain as he said sarcastically, “How can you believe a drunken man’s words?”

“You’re just an utter scumbag!” With that, Wendy took her bag and left angrily.

That afternoon, an uninvited guest arrived at Everbright Law Group.

The young lady in charge of serving Wendy did not know her and remained clueless to the history she had with Tessa. Hence, she greeted Wendy politely and poured her a glass of water.

She then looked at her watch and said, “Ms. Yates has a court hearing this afternoon. The session should be over by now, and she’s probably on her way back. You’ll need to wait a moment.”

Wendy nodded and replied politely, “Alright. Thank you.”

Once the young lady left, Wendy sat in the lounge and took a photo of her pregnancy report. Then, she sent it to Zachary’s mother, Yanis.

“Mrs. Gomez, I’m pregnant, but Zachary doesn’t want me to keep the child…”
