Chapter 167

Owen landed a huge slap on Flora’s face without warning, and both Emma and Eden were petrified on one side, not daring to speak. They could only watch their father’s increasingly maniacal expression and bloodshot face.

They didn’t dare to be the peacemaker here but Flora was still their mother in the end.

Emma and Eden couldn’t just do nothing.

“Tell me, who does that child in your body belong to? Come clean with the identity of that man!”

Owen roared while one of his leg landed a blow on Flora’s stomach.

Flora immediately stumbled to the ground with a pale face.

“My husband, I’m sorry... I’m sorry...”

Flora’s tears couldn’t stop flowing. She didn’t know how her secret would get exposed to the public.

She knew very well what kind of a man her husband was. He was very egocentric and a champion of machismo. All the women by his side only needed to play the role of a good listener and be obedient.

However, after she was past thirty-five years old, Owen never so much as laid a hand on her again. At this age, she still had her needs to be fulfilled.

She knew that Owen was a very hot-tempered man, and if her secret got out, she would die a hellish death.

On the other hand, as a human being, she had her own desires. Flora could only hook up with some men behind the scenes, and she thought she was being very discreet. However, the explosive news today showed her otherwise. The truth was revealed just like that.

Owen was so angry that he simply pushed her to the living room. He was about to launch into a beating son.

“Emma, Eden, beg to your dad now. I know that I am in the wrong, and I will never do this again...”

Flora wept at her own children.

Eden hated woman who cheated the most. For him, he could play around with as many women as he wanted, but Eden didn’t think that a woman should hook up with unknown men out there.

He was completely disgusted by her mother’s exposed secret today.

“Mum, you have done something like that, so how could you still beg me to help you keep your face? I feel completely embarrassed by you. How can you be so shameless? You were hooking up with a young guy who is almost my age. Do you know how much ridicule I would get from now on if I go out into the public?”

After Eden had said that, Owen’s face became even uglier. He raised his legs, about to land another kick on Flora’s stomach. He wanted to cause her to have miscarriage right here and right now. He wanted that child to disappear from this world forever.

“Dad, I know you’re furious, and mother is indeed in the wrong here. I don’t want to say anything for her, but don’t you see that there’s something weird about this whole affair? Why would this secret only get exposed today? Just yesterday, we have been waging the word war on the internet, buffeting the Simpson family and gaining a lot of sympathy, but today mummy’s affair was revealed to the internet. This must be Robert’s doing. If mummy has a miscarriage now, and it is known to the public, that would only add on to the list of shadowy happenings in our family. Do you want to see all the netizens having a field day with our ugly affairs?”

Owen was so angry that his whole body was trembling.

Even though he was extremely clear that this was Robert’s doing, but for someone like him, he still couldn’t endure this type of humiliation. The humiliation of his wife branching out to other men, and the humiliation of being the laughing stock in the eyes of the public. From now on, whenever he went out of his house, he could already imagine what were the gaze being cast on him by others, as if his label of a cheated husband was branded on his face.

He asked Emma in a cold voice, “If I don’t cause her to miscarriage here, then do you think it’s a better idea for your mother to give birth to that vile spawn?”

“Dad, we can carry this out discreetly with a private doctor, or we can do it overseas. We can’t let this matter continue to deteriorate now, or else the whole internet would learn of all these embarrassing things. Nobody would care about our scuffle with Robert now, and nobody would care about Georgia’s personal life now. We can’t lose our focus here. If we really fall into this trap that Robert had set, that would only make them more and more smug.”

“Do you think that going to a private doctor to carry out miscarriage would not be found out by the media? Since Robert has dealt his hand, he would definitely pay close attention to every of our move. Do you really think you can do these behind their backs?”

Owen shot her down sarcastically, and he couldn’t help but land a slap on Flora’s face again.

“You bitch!”

Emma was really resenting her mother for doing this kind of thing. Initially, their plan was going well, and Robert didn’t even dare to bring up the termination of their marriage contract. Everyone was reprimanding Georgia and Robert as a shameless couple.

However, because of her mother seeking young man out there and getting herself pregnant, the Lane family was now in a very disadvantageous position.

“Mum, I think it’s best if you get rid of that child here, with no eyes around. I will get a private doctor to deal with the aftermath soon.”

After saying that, she looked at this father.

“I will buy abortion pill for mother so that she can remove that child here at home.”

This was Emma’s last showing of kindness for her mother. If her mother was getting beaten up by her father to the point of losing that baby, her life might be in danger as well. By then, she would probably need professional treatment at the hospital.

However, if Flora were to take abortion pills, at least there was no need for her to be at the hospital, which incurred the risk of getting this piece of information exposed to the media.

Owen sunk into a contemplation. He was mulling over Emma’s suggestion.

He really wanted to kill off that baby in Flora’s stomach now and shun this woman out of the Lane family.

However, if he had really done that, he would fall right into the trap Robert had meticulously prepared. The media would only aggravate things, and the Lane family’s complications would ensue with no end in sight.

So, did he really have to endure this humiliation brought on by Flora now?

No matter what, he could still put on appearances, but there was no way this child was going to see the light of day.

Only by making sure that Flora had miscarriage would Owen feel at ease.

“Then go ask someone to buy abortion pills now.”

Robert and Georgia’s car had rolled to a stop just outside the Lanes’ villa. When the personnel sent by the Lanes went out to buy abortion pills, Robert’s men secretly tailed him and gave the media this piece of information.

The media followed through and secretly captured evidences of this matter.

“Taking abortion pills won’t guarantee smooth-sailing abortion. I have read some news before that there will be a lot of blood... If the abortion doesn’t happen smoothly, womb removal surgery might even be needed. Do you think that Flora would lose that baby so easily? She’s already at an advanced age.”

Georgia didn’t have any tinge of sympathy for Flora at all. In the past twenty years, she had been at the receiving end of humiliation and bully.

Now that Flora was in such a forlorn state, in Georgia’s eyes, this was karma at work.

“Even if the abortion is going to face some complications, you thought that with how they are buying the abortion pills secretly, they are willing to send Flora to the hospital? They won’t do that.”

Robert snickered coldly at one side.

He always thought that Flora and Owen were one fake couple, but at that time he still had a marriage contract with Emma, so he tried his best to respect this couple.

However, all he was feeling towards this Lane family was none other than disgust.

He was even eager to peel off the masks which the members of the Lane family were sporting and then exposed them to the world.

“Since we are already here, shall we go check out the Lanes now?”

They intended to check out the Lanes.

However, after getting off the car, they didn’t know whether the Lanes would allow them to go in.

“We are already here. What reason do we have for not entering? You are still a daughter of the Lane family in name. It should come nothing as a surprise to show concern for your father who is being cheated on.”

Robert let out a laugh, and the two of them got off the car. A few bodyguards were surrounding them.

No reporters dared to enter the courtyard. Robert’s bodyguard rang the doorbell of the Lanes.

After some time, when the maid saw that the visitors were Robert and Georgia, her face immediately changed.

“Mr. Simpson, I will inform them now. Please hold on.”

The maid informed the Lanes about the arrival of Georgia and Robert. Owen’s face drastically changed, and Eden even became riled up as he started to curse.

“What is that despicable couple doing here? Are they crazy, coming here at this kind of timing?”

Emma’s hands curled up into fists.

Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison Chapter 166 Your Circle is a Mess The Unexpected Marriage Chapter 251 What's The Use Of You Have I Told You Lately Chapter 147 It must Feel Good to Have Him Drive Me to Work “Dad, what do you think they are coming here for? We are at the forefront of gossips and rumors, and could it mean that they aren’t afraid of getting discovered by the media, considering the fact that they are here?”

“They are precisely here to get captured photos so that they could make matters worse for us. I want to see for myself who the victor will be in the end! Let them in.”

Owen let out a muffled roar.

After a few minutes, Georgia and Robert came walking in.

Both parties had long fallen out, and Owen immediately started to interrogate Robert and Georgia.

“Welcome, Miss Lane and Mr. Simpson. Anything that I can do for you here?”

Robert said nothing while Georgia began to laugh.

She really wanted to see for her own how angry Owen was.

“Mr. Lane, I heard that you are being cheated on. I am here to see you getting embarrassed.”
