Chapter 288
“Why should I? Mia Bowen, you’re bearing another man’s child, aren’t you? Is it this guy? I’ve got you this time!”
Wilhelmina’s words struck Mia as absurd. “What does my pregnancy have to do with you? What are you going to do with my stuff?”
“It’s useless to me, but someone else might need it. Shelly is very interested in this. Say, how much will she pay me if I give it to her?”
Mia’s vi
visage shifted slightly. “This is not Shelly’s baby. It’s useless if you give it to her. Is getting pregnant against the law? So what if you disclose this information to the public?”
Wilhelmina paused because Mia’s words made sense.
Wilhelmina stole a glance at the ultrasound report.
In retrospect, Shelly showed telltale interest the moment Wilhelmina claimed that there was a possibility Mia was pregnant.
It was as if this was a huge catch!
While Wilhelmina stayed silent, Connor went up to take the report back from her. “Hey, if you have a death wish, I won’t hold myself back. Is staying behind bars for 15 days too short for you?”
When the old neighborhood was demolished, they figured something out to send Wilhelmina to the police station for fifteen days.
It should’ve been a lesson learned, but she had the nerve to be at it again!
Her face fell at that and she swiftly disappeared from view.
Connor was ready for a chase, but she vanished from their sight immediately. He couldn’t catch up with her.
Mia walked up to the door. “Forget it.”
“What if Wilhelmina tells the Barretts that you’re pregnant?”
She took a deep breath. “No one will buy it. Plus, I know a way to take care of this. Don’t worry.”
“Don’t worry about the records in the hospital. I’ll change the name on your records. If the Barrett family comes over for an investigation, there’s nothing they can find.”
“Sounds like a plan.” She kept the ultrasound report safely.

She would protect the babies no matter what happened. There was a checkup she had to undergo right now too.
Connor couldn’t shake off his unease.
While waiting for Mia, who was undergoing a checkup, he contacted someone. “Look for Wilhelmina Jones. Find a way to shut her up.”

her brothers to Nord City, Timothy must remain unaware of the babies‘
Although Timothy didn’t fear Connor, things would get out of hand if Timothy requested for child
custody.
After all, the Barrett family was a powerful family.
Most importantly, Connor hoped that Mia could cut ties with Timothy and it had to be now before
any other possibilities stand.
Running like a mad woman, Wilhelmina was afraid Connor would catch her.
Then, she pulled her phone out to call Shelly but it was in vain.
Anxiety was driving Wilhelmina to the edge.
Why was Shelly not picking up her phone?
Left with no other choice, Wilhelmina sent a message. ‘I have Mia’s ultrasound report.‘
The message was sent and a smirk appeared on her face.
She didn’t know what Shelly would do with the news, but that didn’t matter as long as Shelly This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
believed it.
Wilhelmina was in dire need of money.
Soon, Shelly hit Wilhelmina up. Wilhelmina’s eyes lit up.
As she reached over to pick up the phone, someone covered her mouth and everything went black
before her eyes.
The call was left ringing, unanswered.
On the other hand, Shelly scolded, “What’s with this Wilhelmina? She texted me, yet she’s not
picking up the call. Is she trying to trick me?”
She stopped calling Wilhelmina.
Wilhelmina would call back after noticing the missed calls anyway.
A dubious Maya spoke up, “Was Wilhelmina telling the truth? Is Mia really pregnant?”
