Harley eventually hesitated. He didnât think that heâd be able to get over it.
Thea turned to face him as she heard this.
âWhat about Cutie Pie?â
He could not refute. Indeed, what about Cutie Pie? They were already here. If he backed out, there was nothing else he could do to help him.
âLetâs go in!â Harley could only let out a wry smile.
There were many people in the club. After entering, Thea went straight to the front desk and gave the name of the person they were looking for.
The man at the front desk looked at Thea with an ambiguous look and smirked, âThereâs been quite a lot of women looking for Martin Jacobs recently. I agree that he looks handsome, but heâs a sly fox that has cheated many people. However, I recommend you forget about him. Heâs with a rich woman now! Heâs not interested in an old hag like you!â
Right after he finished his words, Harley, who was behind Thea, grabbed the man by the collar.
âDonât talk nonsense. Where is Martin Jacobs?â
Harley was a trained professional. With a bit of strength, the man was already screaming in pain!
âHeâs inside. Heâs inside!â
Harley then loosened his grip and pulled Thea behind him, shielding her.
âThis place is too chaotic. Follow me!â
â¦
They looked for the room he was in. The moment they opened the door, they were stunned by the scene inside!
There were several women in gorgeous clothes in the room. Each of them were accompanied by a man, their hands and legs wrapped around each other in the heat of the moment! The room was filled with the scent of smoke, cigarettes, food and perfume.
The mixture of smells were so strong that they were already frowning and holding their breath at the door.
Thea covered her nose and coughed before calling out.
âMartin Jacobs!â
Upon hearing this, a man whose face was covered with lipstick stains raised his head and glanced at Thea.
âWhoâs looking for me?â
His clothes were in a mess and his collar was wide open.
Thea was shocked. Was this man Cutie Pieâs biological father? When she thought of how she had spent a night with him, Thea felt like stabbing herself to death!
At the thought of this, anger welled up in her chest. She dashed towards Martin and started bellowing.
âYouâre Martin Jacobs? How can you do this? Youâre a grown-up! How can you be so irresponsible? Have you ever thought of your child? Wonât your child feel ashamed if he saw you like this?â
Martin was taken aback by the abrupt reprimanding.
When the rich woman next to him heard this, she got up and glanced at Thea with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.
âWho is this, Martin? Didnât you say that you donât have a girlfriend? I have been supporting you every day, but youâve came up with this old hag to disgust me and chase me away?â
The rich woman had spent a lot of money on Martin. He had put in a lot of effort to get close to her. Naturally, he wouldnât give her up for Thea.
Upon hearing this, he immediately explained.
âItâs not what you think. I donât know who this person is!â
After that, he reached out and shoved Thea away.
âWho the h*ll are you! Go somewhere else if you want to drink the night away after getting dumped. Donât disturb me here!â
Thea was angry and shouted, âYou⦠Come with me!â
As she said this, she reached out to grab him but Martin avoided her.
âWhat are you doing? I already said that I donât know you.â
âBut I know you! Two years ago, in Rosaville City⦠Anyways, our child is sick now. You must go back with meâ¦â
Martin was shocked for a moment. A short while later, he came to his senses and smirked.
âAnd I thought this was something important! Donât you know? In this industry, we make sure to practice protection between us and the clients. A child? How is that possible? Get lost! Stop bothering me!â
âItâs true!â Thea gritted her teeth and continued, âCutie Pie is already one years old. He has leukemia and he needs you to save himâ¦â
Hearing this, the rich woman next to him frowned.
âMartin, youâd better clean up your own mess! You can come find me after that!â
Martin tried to chase after her in a hurry, but Thea stopped him.
âDid you hear me? I need you to save my child!â
Martin was so angry that he shook off Theaâs hand and shouted at her, âYouâre so annoying! Didnât I say that itâs impossible for you to bear my child? You are ruining my business. Donât you know that?â
Thea pursed her lips and insisted, âIf itâs not you, then who could it be? I have already investigated it clearly. Itâs you! Donât be mistaken for Iâm not trying to get together with you. I donât care! I only want you to save my child!â
Theaâs temper flared and she spoke loudly.
Martin was stunned for a while. Then, he sneered mockingly.
âWell, since you are so sure, I can help! However, as you can see, youâve caused trouble and scared away my rich customer here! Donât you think that you should make up for it?
Thea clenched her teeth and felt even disappointed.
She didnât expect much from him. But seeing how he was, she hated herself even more.
If she hadnât been so impulsive back then, todayâs incident wouldnât have happened.
She didnât dare to look at Harley. In fact, she didnât know if he was still behind her. She was scared to picture Harleyâs expression right now.
The only thing she was aware now was how unsightly she was. How could she be involved with such a person!
Taking a deep breath, Thea braced herself and asked.
âHow much do you want?â
Upon hearing this, Martin cackled.
âThatâs right. I donât blame you for giving birth to my child, so donât blame me for asking this from you! You saw the rich woman from just now. Every day she was here, she would happily spend tens of thousands on me! I donât think you are a rich person, so I wonât ask for much. Just give me 100 thousand dollars!â
Thea closed his eyes in resignation and gave in, âOkay! Come with me!â
The man raised his eyebrows and whistled at Thea. Then, he got up and walked out with Thea.
When he got to the door, he saw a man standing outside.
The manâs face was cold and filled with contempt. It was as if he was prepared to murder someone.
Martin was stunned for a moment and frowned suspiciously before muttering, âYou look a little familiarâ¦â
He couldnât recall it though, so he ignored it.
âHey, where is your child? You asked me to save him, so what do I need to do? 100 thousand dollars is just my basic rate. If you need me to donate anything else from blood to blood marrow, Iâll have to charge extra!â
Thea sneered, âThatâs your child!â
âSo what? I didnât ask you to give birth to him!â
âYouâ¦â Thea gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. She told him, âItâs not your bone marrow nor your blood. I need your help to conceive artificially. I need the blood from my umbilical cord!â
Martin was stunned and asked in bewilderment, âWhat? You want to give birth to another baby again? Whatâs wrong with you?â
Thea frowned and explained impatiently, âMy child is sick and needs the blood from the umbilical cord. You can be rest assured that I wonât give the child to you. I will take care of the child myself!â
It was only then that Martin breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, he snickered.
âWhy do you want to conceive artificially? Itâs not like weâve never done it before. Why donât we do it once again?â
As soon as he finished speaking, a fist was already heading towards his face and was about to land smack into it!
