Chapter 306 Back then, wasn't Angela herself the same? She was willing to do anything for Dexter to the point where she completely lost her dignity and becsomeone unrecognizable.
Now, wasn't Elena doing the sthing? "Angela, you're a woman too. You know women always suffer more in situations like this. Besides, she really is pregnant, and she truly loves your brother-" "That's a separate matter. You guys could just announce publicly that there was never a pregnancy and that it was all a misunderstanding." As Angela spoke, she felt a moment of uncertainty.
She wondered how that foolish woman, Amber, planned to handle the issue of the baby. If she insisted on giving birth to the baby, it would really be an issue.
"Dexter, please, no." Seeing that Angela wouldn't change her mind, Elena turned to persuade Dexter instead. "Have smercy on Amber just this once. She knows she was wrong. She's just young and immature. If anyone finds out what she did=" "She's only 20, indeed still young and immature," Dexter said indifferently. "So tell me, how did she cup with such a vicious scheme?" His words were concise, yet they struck Elena like a heavy stone had been tossed into the still waters of her heart, creating a storm of waves.

Tears instantly streamed down Elena's face. "Dexter, how could you think ofthat way? I didn't... I would never..." "The truth will always cto light," Dexter remarked emotionlessly, avoiding her gaze.
"Mr. Sheppard, I hope you understand. We're not asking for much, and we're not being unreasonable," Angela said before turning to leave.
As she and Dexter walked away, Russell remained standing there, silent.
As a father, he had failed, but his foolish daughter was even more of a failure. She had been thoughtless as if her brain had stopped working.
The more Russell thought about it, the angrier he became. He turned around and strode back inside. Amber sat motionless on the edge of the bed, her face pale and lifeless.
"You're going for a check-up right now. Then, you're getting rid of that baby immediately." Russell grabbed her wrist, forcefully dragging her toward the door. "The Sheppard family does not raise illegitimate children." "No! I don't want to!" Amber turned pale with terror. "Dad, please letthink about it!" A strange and reckless thought took root in her mind. She wanted to keep this baby.
This baby was the only tie between her and Zack. If she could give birth to the baby, even if Zack refused to acknowledge them, Angela would never turn her back on her own nephew.
That meant Amber would be connected to Zack for the rest of her life.
And at the stime, she could finally get real revenge on her parents.

"Think about what? You need to get rid of the baby while you still can. Then, you're going to Montivate to continue your business administration studies. I never approved of you choosing fine arts in the first place. In two or three years, everyone will forget about this mess.
By then, I'll arrange a proper marriage for you with someone of equal m status someone beneficial to the Sheppard family. That is what you should do as this family's daughter." Russell's voice was especially firm. His words struck Amber's heart, making her entire body feel cold.
No! She didn't want them to dictate her entire life. That would be worse than death.
"Dad, I can get rid of the baby, and I can go to Montivale to study, but letgo for now. Let's take stto discuss this."
