"So, Mom, remember my words, as long as I don’t give up the Hall Clan, no one can take it away. If I do give it up, I will never want it back. You better think it through," she said.
After speaking, she straightened her collar and stepped away from the Hall Family home.
Leanne Richards was clearly shocked by Harry Hall’s words, standing still for a long while without a sound, not until Harry got into the car and started the engine did she seem to remember something and hurriedly rushed over.
Harry Hall, impatient, rolled down the window and asked, "What else is there?"
"Harry, believe me, even though you weren’t raised by my side, my thoughts have always been with you. Even if I went a bit too far in the matter with Helen Melendy, I truly did it for your own good."
Her tone of voice was no longer as harsh as it had been at the beginning, now carrying a hint of ingratiation.
Harry Hall didn’t want to listen any further and was just about to close the window when he heard Leanne Richards say:
"Do you know that Helen Melendy is pregnant?"
Harry Hall’s hand, which was on the window button, trembled violently as he turned to look at Leanne Richards, "What?"
In his eyes was a disbelief that couldn’t be fathomed, and his heart skipped a beat.
Leanne Richards laughed, her face filled with a hint of irony, "It seems you didn’t know."
The mockery and disdain in her eyes were very clear, but Harry Hall was so stunned by the sudden bombshell that he couldn’t notice Leanne Richards’s expression.
"Today, I accompanied a friend to the hospital and saw Elly Campbell walking Helen Melendy through the hospital. Out of curiosity, I asked my doctor friend about her and found out she was over a month pregnant but just had an abortion today."
Harry Hall’s voice carried an unmistakable tremble, "She went to get an abortion?"
"Son, even though I dislike that girl, I wouldn’t lie about such a thing. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the hospital and check for yourself, see if I’m lying to you."
Harry Hall’s expression went from shock to a dreadfully somber darkness.
Seeing her son’s reaction, clearly angered, Leanne Richards felt a secret joy and continued to add fuel to the fire:
"Back then, I was wrong to use money to drive her away, but think about it, if she wasn’t greedy, why would she take my check?"
"You yourself verified the bank check was cashed. I didn’t frame her, did I?"
"And this time, after so many years you’ve stayed true to her, what has she done for you? She sleeps with another man, gets pregnant with someone else’s child, what’s left there for you to..."
Leanne Richards wanted to continue inciting Harry Hall, but the next second, Harry abruptly raised the car window, stepped on the gas, and charged out of the Hall Family’s gate, leaving Leanne Richards engulfed in car fumes.
On his way to the hospital, Harry Hall’s face was fearsomely grim, frost cold enough to crystallize ice seemed to be laid across it.
The accelerator kept being pressed down, emitting piercing and heart-shuddering roars through the noisy city streets.
His mother didn’t know, but he was certain, that night over a month ago...
The child in Helen Melendy’s womb was definitely his.
Even if their relationship had now hit rock bottom, he was sure that woman would not casually be with another man.
Why wouldn’t she even notify him before choosing to abort the child?
Didn’t he even have the right to know about the existence of his own child?
