Chapter 2

Keep the child and make her his mother.

Kristie could never have imagined that the Stokes Family actually had this plan.

During these three years, she dreamed of having a child with Harvey, but it was definitely not the child of Harvey and other women.

Kristie hired a private detective and quickly found out the woman's background.

Susan Carey, the daughter of jewelry crafter Aron Carey, was Harvey's childhood sweetheart. But for some unknown reason, the two suddenly broke up, Susan went abroad alone, Harvey was heartbroken and finally married Kristie in just a short time.

The pile of information in her hand was nothing but the romantic things Harvey did for Susan.

At Susan's 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, Harvey lit a sky lantern and took a photo of the blue star in the sea, just to make her smile.

Susan liked to eat mousse cake. Regardless of his status, Harvey visited her private cake shop three times and learned how to make cake himself, just because she said it was delicious.

When Susan said, “I'm afraid of thunder.” Harvey took a private plane overnight during the thunderstorm just to be with her.

Kristie clearly remembered that on that rainy day, she suddenly developed gastroenteritis and she begged Harvey not to leave and to take her to the hospital.

She crawled on the ground in pain, pulling at Harvey's trouser legs, begging him desperately, so humble as to be in the dust.

“Kristie, gastroenteritis only hurts for a while, it won't kill you. I have more important things to do now. If I had been a step later, someone would have died.”

It turned out that this was what Harvey meant by ‘someone is going to die.’

Kristie felt desolate inside, her hands and feet were cold and tears fell one by one, blurring her vision and wetting the lines of words on the white paper.

She looked at the last page of the information, which showed Susan's current address.

Kristie no longer hesitated and drove there.

An hour later, Kristie arrived at the Repulse Bay Villa.

She originally felt that this address was inexplicably familiar and it was not until she saw the number on the house number that Kristie finally remembered it.

The house number 8 was the first property she and Harvey purchased together and it was of great significance.

And at that moment, Susan actually lived here.

Kristie sat in the car, trying to calm herself down.

The next second, the door of the villa opened and a man and a woman came out and walked towards the small flower hall in the yard.

The two were talking and laughing and the man carefully supported the woman, fearing that she would bump into something.

Kristie was shocked beyond words, her expression suddenly changed as if she had seen a ghost.

The woman was holding an eight or nine month old belly and it was undoubtedly Susan.

And that man, although she only caught a glimpse of his profile, Kristie would never forget his figure and appearance until her death.

Harvey, that man was Harvey!

It turned out that the story about him getting into a car accident to save her was fake and that he would become a vegetable for the rest of his life was also fake.

Holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, Kristie was unaware of the blood on her nails and her eyes were fixed on the front.

Harvey and Susan were sitting in the small flower hall, the scene was very warm.

He cut the cake for her, he squatted down and pressed his body against Susan's belly, his smile was gentle, as if he had found a treasure.

Then what was she for him actually?

Kristie's heart felt like it was being cut into pieces by Harvey with a knife, it hurt so much.

For a moment, Kristie wanted to get out of the car and rush in to find out what was going on, but in the end, she just took a deep breath, turned on the monitoring software on her phone and adjusted the screen to the small flower hall.

Harvey did not know that she had installed surveillance cameras in Repulse Bay.

In Kristie's heart, Repulse Bay was the fruit of her and Harvey's love and career and she cherished it very much. Even though it was too far from the city center and inconvenient to travel and they had never lived there for a day, she still protected it well.

She never thought that this would become the place where Harvey kept his mistress.

This villa was even the common property of the couple. 

In the picture, the conversation between the two people could be heard clearly.

“Harvey, do you think she would agree? After all, this is our child. Will she agree to your father's proposal?”

“Yes, the old man gave the shares to the first great-grandson of the Stokes Family. Kristie knows this better than anyone else,” Harvey nodded as he answered, “Now I am lying in bed in a vegetative state. Our child is the only trump card in her hand. She will not give the Stokes Group to others.”

Susan did not believe that anyone would be so stupid as to make wedding dresses for others. She still questioned again, “What if she doesn't want to leave the Stokes Family after getting the shares?” 

Harvey reached out and scratched Susan's nose wing, his action was extremely intimate and his eyes were full of doting.

Kristie had never seen him like this before. It turned out that the eldest son of the Stokes Family was not ignorant of love and affection, but she, Kristie, had never been the one in his heart.

“Both Stokes Group and Romero's Company were interested in the project. After mediation, Romero's Company was willing to let it go. The only request made by the Romero Family was that someone should be present to Young Master Romero and marry him.”

Susan was stunned, “You mean an idiot Young Master, Christ Romero? My father asked me to marry him, but I did not want to, so I ran away abroad. 

“Harvey, do you mean to let Kristie marry him? Will she agree?”

Harvey nodded without thinking and answered, “She will agree to it. She loves me so much. For me and to save Stokes Group for me, she will definitely agree to it.”

Susan smiled as she responded, “That's great, this way I don't have to marry that idiot and our child will be the heir to Stokes Group.”

“Yes, I promised you that after I cleaned up the mess in the Stokes Family, I would give you a grand wedding and a bright future," Harvey said and hugged Susan before finally kissing her.

Kristie trembled all over and threw her cell phone aside with a ‘bang.’

It turned out that all of this was planned by Harvey in advance and every step was just to make her a stepping stone to pave the way for their love.

Why?!

Kristie was an orphan with no one to rely on in this world, but she was not a fool or a puppet who could be bullied by others.

He could not suddenly ask her to marry the Young Master of the Romero Family, after all of this, there must be a condition before agreeing something, right?

Kristie calmed down, bent down to pick up the phone and called her assistant, “Sarah, draft a divorce agreement immediately. I want to divorce Harvey with a condition giving me 50% of the shares of Stokes Group.”

Stokes Group was the empire she and Harvey built together. So, if Kristie said wanted half of it, it was still fair.
