<h4>Chapter 411: Chapter 413: I Will Make Her Pay the Price</h4>


    "Have you seen the video of her hitting someone?" Mrs. Benington asked out of the blue, squinting her eyes.


    David Benington was silent for a few seconds before nodding: "I’ve seen it."


    "Do you think a pregnant woman, not even three months into her pregnancy, could fight like that?" Mrs. Benington’s eyes were filled with mockery, her voice cold and disdainful. "When I was pregnant with you, if I had fought like that, would you still be able to sit here and talk to me?"


    "David, if a woman carrying a child doesn’t care about the baby in her belly and does such dangerous things, it means she is incredibly irresponsible. Such a woman is not a qualified mother at all."


    "When I was pregnant with you, I was extremely careful. Even if I was angry outside, I wouldn’t dare argue with anyone. I was afraid that arguing would identally hurt you."


    "Moreover, under such circumstances, it’s highly unlikely that any pregnant woman could still keep the child in her belly. Even if she did, she would have bled. What was the situation when you went to find her?"


    "Did she bleed?" Mrs. Benington asked directly. "During the hospital examination, did the doctor say anything like her fetal image was unstable or something?"


    David was stumped by the question for a while.


    For more than ten seconds, his expression changed repeatedly.


    What Mrs. Benington suspected was what he had suspected too.


    That’s why he proposed to take Annie Lawrence to the hospital for a check-up.


    Because he had seen that video.


    However, he had also read the examination result word by word.


    "But the hospital examination report showed she was pregnant..." A momentter, David said uneasily.


    Mrs. Benington sneered: "Examination report? I can get you one of those right now."


    David: "..."


    "David, before I got pregnant with you, I was almost reced by a mistress your father had outside. Back then, that mistress tried to grab the position by iming she was pregnant, and your father was utterly convinced."


    "Butter, it turned out that she had bribed the doctors at that hospital. For a woman who wants to climb thedder, any tricks and means are nothing but child’s y to them."


    "I’m not saying she must be lying to you, but the chances of her lying are high. Even if you and Joanna can never get back together, you can’t let this shameless woman deceive you into marriage. David, if you want to get to the bottom of this, you’d better check it out at the hospital."


    "Or, should I help you check?"


    David’s expression was already bad. After hearing Mrs. Benington’s words, it had turned even gloomier.


    He clenched his hands, gripping them tightly into fists.


    Mrs. Benington looked at him: "David?"


    David pressed his lips together, suddenly stood up, and spoke with a cold and heavy voice, like ice: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly."


    Hearing that he would check, Mrs. Benington’s face eased a bit. After thinking for a moment, she asked: "If it turns out that she’s not pregnant, what do you n to do?"


    Not pregnant?


    Thinking of Joanna Lawrence, David’s eyes seemed to be covered with ayer of frost, his fingers clenched even tighter, and a cold and ruthless gleam shed in his eyes: "If she dares to deceive me, I will make her pay the price."

    Joanna Lawrence waited in her dorm for more than ten minutes before her phone rang.


    It was a call from Ashton Heath.


    She picked it up and her voice was soft: "Mr. Ashton, have you arrived?"


    On the other end of the phone, the man’s voice was deep and maic, very alluring. The gentle words fell softly into Joanna’s ears: "Yes, I’ve arrived. Baby, you cane down now."
