Chapter 2104 - Desperate Times

“Miss Emily, my father is a duke. His bloodline can’t be so carelessly passed down. You don’t know why he suddenly stopped being so good to you? This is why. Your motives are impure. You set him up. My father is a duke! He’s fought military battles… how could he not see through your little schemes?”

Emily shook her head and said pitifully to Duke Eton, “Mr. Duke, it’s not like that! It’s not like that!”

“If it’s not like that, then what is it? You’re not going to tell me that you swapped out those condoms for ones of a different brand, are you? I only use this brand of condoms, and you exchanged them for ones of the same brand. Why? Emily, a woman only has a few days a month that she can easily conceive on. Don’t tell me that you just happened to change the condoms for fun, and those condoms just happened to have holes, and we just happened to use them during your ovulation period, so you just happened to get pregnant. Emily, don’t think that you’re the only person with a brain in this world and that everyone else is a fool.” Duke Eaton retorted.

“I…” Emily shook her head as tears fell from her eyes. Her ugly thoughts now exposed, she felt ashamed.

“It’s an honor to you that the Duke has taken a fancy to you. Before you met my father, you were just another Cinderella suffering under her stepmother’s tyranny. Gaining the Duke’s favor is the best path that God could’ve ever paved for you. As long as you settled down and let my father marry you, knowing my father’s character, even if you couldn’t inherit everything in the Duke’s mansion, he would at least leave you and your son a large portion of the inheritance. And even if you and my father didn’t get married, when he broke up with his two ex-girlfriends, he gave them both a lot of money, enough to feed and cloth them for the rest of their lives.

“But what about you? You haven’t even settled down with my dad yet, and you’re already doing all this scheming. You knew my dad wasn’t going to let you get pregnant yet, so you just went ahead and set him up. If Dad didn’t have me around, you’d’ve probably killed him and spat on his corpse by now.”

Duke Eton, “…”

How could his daughter so calmly talk about his dead body?

Emily cried and shook her head. “I didn’t want to do it! I didn’t want to! I-I was just having a hard time. It wasn’t easy for me to meet a man like the Duke, and I couldn’t help myself. The Duke once took me to meet his friend, who was surprised when he saw my face and said that I looked like the deceased duchess.

“I was afraid that the Duke only liked me because of nostalgia and would soon abandon me and leave me to my old life. I was scared, so I swapped out the condoms.

“I really love the Duke! Miss Sunny, please give me another chance! I-I’ll definitely treat the Duke well this time!”

“If you were just afraid of getting broken up with so you played some ‘pranks’ to get yourself pregnant, I could still let you go. But not only did you tamper with the condom, you also tried to kill me after you successfully got pregnant.”
