“Why did you secretly sell the house behind Dale’s back?”Megan’s cold,mocking voice sounded behind her.“Don’t tell me you’re planning to leave quietly?”
Seeing that Lenora stayed silent,Megan looked surprised,her eyes full of arrogance.
“You really are like those Cinderella characters in rich family dramas.Are you planning to play some chasing game with Dale—running away so he will chase you?”
She gently touched her slightly swollen belly and let out a mocking laugh.“I won’t give you that chance.”
Lenora’s gaze fell on her slightly protruding stomach,and her breathing suddenly stopped.
“You’re pregnant?”
Megan raised her eyebrows proudly.“Since you know that,you should be sensible and get the divorce.Otherwise,you might end up being thrown out of the house.That wouldn’t look very good.”
As she spoke,she took out a small golden lock and played with it in her hand.
When Lenora saw the name engraved on it,her pupils shook in shock.
Maxwell Steele.
That was the name Dale had chosen for their baby when she was pregnant.
“This is our first child.In the Steele Family’s generation name system,it should start with‘M.’So I’ll name him Maxwell.He will be the most rightful heir of the Steele Family.”
Now,Dale had given that same name to Megan’s child.It seemed he really cared a lot about this baby.
A self-mocking smile appeared on Lenora’s lips as she walked past Megan,preparing to leave.
Seeing that all her effort had failed to get the reaction she wanted,Megan became angry and secretly stretched out her foot.
Caught off guard,Lenora stumbled forward and instinctively grabbed Megan.
“Ah!”
“Megan!”
Dale rushed past Lenora and caught Megan in his arms.Then he frowned and glared angrily at Lenora,who was on the ground.“Have you made enough trouble?She just likes me.Is it necessary for you to target her like this?You’re so narrow-minded.No wonder you couldn’t keep your child!”
As expected of her husband,one sentence struck straight at her deepest wound,almost killing her.
He carried Megan away in big strides,as if even looking at Lenora would dirty his eyes.At the same time,two bodyguards lifted Lenora up and locked her in the basement.
“Mr.Steele said you should stay here and reflect on yourself.”
The doors and windows were locked,and everything around her was completely dark.
Lenora knocked on the door in fear.“Dale,let me out!”
He clearly knew that she suffered from claustrophobia.
Why…?
